Patent number: 8820464Abstract: An upper rail is movable in a rear and front direction with respect to a lower rail fixed to a vehicle floor. A load sensor is fixed to an upper surface of the upper rail, and a rectangular frame is attached onto the load sensor. A rod of the load sensor penetrates a web of the rectangular frame, a washer and a spring holder, and a coil spring is wound around the rod. A bush is fitted to an edge of a hole of the washer, and a step is formed between an upper surface of the washer and the bush. A nut is screwed to the rod and tightens a bottom of a cup portion of the spring holder. The coil spring is sandwiched between the spring holder and the web and is compressed, and an end portion of the coil spring engages with the step.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: TS Tech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wataru Takayasu, Shinya Ishima, Shigeru Endo, Kenji Sato

Patent number: 8668263Abstract: The vehicle seat includes a collision sensor provided to a seat back frame and being movable relatively backward by a rear-end collision, a headrest attached to the seat back frame and being movable between a normal support position and a head protection position anterior to the normal support position. The headrest is movable from the normal support position to the head protection position when the collision sensor is moved backward. The vehicle seat has a lock mechanism attached to the seat back frame. The lock mechanism is moved to a lock position by inertia when receiving an external force by a rear-end collision to regulate a return of the headrest from the head protection position to the normal support position.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: TS Tech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wataru Takayasu, Kenichi Niitsuma
