Abstract: A vehicle seat may include a monitor device that is movably disposed in a back board of a seat back, and a drive mechanism coupled to the base portion of the monitor device. The monitor device includes a base portion and a monitor portion. The drive mechanism is arranged and constructed to move the monitor portion through a slot formed in the back board between a retracted position in which the monitor portion is positioned in an interior of the back board and a use position in which the monitor portion is positioned in an exterior of the back board while a display surface of the monitor portion is maintained in substantially parallel to the back board. The monitor portion is connected to the base portion so as to be rotatable about an axis that is perpendicular to a moving direction of the monitor portion.

Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided. The vehicle seat includes: a seat cushion and a seatback. The seat cushion includes a seating part, a front leg which is rotatably attached to and supports the seating part at a front side, and a pair of left and right rear legs which support a rear side of the seating part. The seatback is provided to the rear side of the seat cushion so as to be capable of falling rearward. The front leg is rotatably attached to a vehicle floor. The rear legs are detachably attached to the vehicle floor. The vehicle seat is adapted to be arranged from a seating mode into at least three of a plurality of modes including a table mode, a rear seat enter/exit mode, a storage mode, a foot rest mode, a flat luggage compartment mode, a rearward facing child safety seat mode.

Abstract: The present invention can include a monitor unit for a vehicle seat including a base portion positioned at a top of a seat back; and a monitor portion including a monitor with a display surface for displaying images. The monitor portion is pivotally connected to the base portion via a hinge and rotatable in a front and rear direction between a use position at which the monitor portion is erect on the base portion and the display surface is positioned in a rear direction, and a retracted position at which the monitor portion is positioned in a front direction around the hinge. The hinge is positioned between the base portion and the monitor portion and at a front end of the base portion, and the monitor portion can be rotated by at least 90 degrees from the use position.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a vehicle seat with a monitor, including: a seat back; a headrest including: a head receiving portion receiving a back of a head of a vehicle occupant; a hollow recess being formed on a reverse side of the head receiving portion, the headrest being disposed such that the monitor unit at least partly enters the hollow recess; a stay mounting to the seatback, the stay being detachably attached to the headrest; and an actuating mechanism capable of moving back and forth the head receiving portion relatively with respect to the seatback, the actuating mechanism being provided at a connecting portion between the stay of the headrest and the head receiving portion; and a monitor unit including the monitor, the monitor unit being installed above the seatback and in a rear of a headrest.
