Abstract: A vehicle seat is taught that preferably include a seat cushion (10), a seat back (20) rotatably connected to the seat cushion via a reclining mechanism (30), front (40) and rear (46) legs removably connecting the seat cushion to a vehicle floor (66), a retracting link (50), an operating member capable of removing the front and rear legs from the floor, and a coupling link (54). The seat back can be rotated forwardly by unlocking the reclining mechanism, so as to be superimposed on the seat cushion. When the front and rear legs are removed from the floor, the seat can be moved from a use condition to a retracted condition depending on the motion of the retracting link. When the seat is moved from the use condition to the retracted condition, the coupling link rotates the front leg based on a displacement of the retracting link, thereby unlocking the reclining mechanism.

Abstract: An operating lever is provided at one of a front face, an upper face, and a back face of a seat including a seat cushion and a seat back. The operating lever may include a first lever having a first end and a second end, and a second lever having a first end and a second end. The second end of the first lever and the first end of the second lever may be pivotably connected to each other, and the first end of the first lever may be pivotably connected to the seat such that the first lever is configured to change an attitude of the seat. In addition, the second end of the second lever may be formed as an operating portion, and when the operating portion is operated in a direction away from the seat, the first lever and the second lever pivot may away from the seat and the attitude of the seat is adjusted.

Abstract: A seat includes a seat main body; first and second adjustable portions, each of which is provided on the seat main body and is placed in an adjustable state by operating force; an operating member which is displaced in a predetermined range; a first operating force transmitting portion for transmitting the operating force of the operating member to the first adjustable portion when the operating member is displaced in a first range; a second operating force transmitting portion for transmitting the operating force of the operating member to the second adjustable portion when the operating member is displaced in a second range; and an operation reaction force avoiding portion for keeping the first adjustable portion in the state that it is in when the operating member is displaced in the first range, when the operating member is displaced in the second range, by the input operating force.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention can include an operating lever of a vehicular seat provided at a front face, an upper face, or a back face of a seat, including a seat cushion and a seat back, and a first lever and a second lever. The first lever and the second lever are axially supported pivotably to each other on one end sides in length directions. An other end side in the length direction of the first lever is axially supported pivotably to the seat and is connected to a lock mechanism capable of changing a state of an attitude of the seat. The other end side in the length direction of the second lever is formed as an operating portion. The attitude of the seat can be operated while bending the first lever in two stages around axial shafts on sides of both ends in the length direction of the first lever by operating an operating portion of the second lever in a direction of being remote from the seat.

Abstract: A method for forming an insulating film, wherein a precursor film of a coating type insulating film having Si—H bonding is coated, the precursor film is calcined in an atmosphere containing at least one of an inert gas and oxygen gas for converting it into a ceramic film as the insulating film, and then the ceramic film is cooled under reduced pressure lower than that for the calcination.
