  • Patent number: 4537444
    Abstract: An occupant's side holding device for the seat back of an automotive seat in which occupant's body side holders are rockably provided in the lateral direction of the seat back at both the right and left side of the seat back comprising operating shafts vertically provided at both the right side and left side, a threaded shaft rotatably journaled to the seat back frame and an interlocking rod being connected between the operating shafts for symmetrically operating the shafts. A rockable arm is further secured to one operating shaft and is integrally formed with the operating shaft to be rocked in the lateral direction of the seat back upon rotation of the threaded shaft by a handle operated by the occupant. Thus, the interval between the occupant's side holders can be variably adjusted in response to the occupant's favorite side holding state of the seat by turning the handle.

  • Patent number: 4466663
    Abstract: A heat-rest mounted at the upper edge of a seat back of a seat for a vehicle. The head-rest has stays in upright positions extending between upper and lower ends on upstanding brackets provided on both sides on the upper edge of the seat back frame, and a locking unit for locking the head-rest at desired height. Thus, the mounting strength of the head-rest can be reinforced while providing a good appearance without exposing the stays.
