Patent number: 10308302Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cushioning material structure, for a vehicle seat, that makes it possible to reduce the weight of the vehicle seat while maintaining stable riding performance. A cushioning material supported by the top surface of a bottom plate provided on a vehicle body is provided with voids. This allows weight reduction without reducing the thickness of the cushioning material as in conventional cushioning-material structures, thereby making it possible to reduce the weight of the vehicle seat while maintaining stable riding performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: TS TECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomohisa Chiba, Katsuhiro Kiya, Yoshinori Ueyama

Patent number: 9809267Abstract: A vehicle seat that provides rigidity of the seat while enabling weight reduction of the seat is provided. The vehicle seat has upper ribs projecting from a top surface and lower ribs projecting from a bottom surface in a seating region of a bottom plate. Also provided in the seating region are a center protrusion portion formed at a center portion and an annular protrusion portion formed outside the center protrusion portion to have a space therebetween. The upper ribs are formed at parts different from parts at which the center protrusion portion and the annular protrusion portion are formed, while the lower ribs are formed at the parts at which the center protrusion portion and the annular protrusion portion are formed. The upper ribs and the lower ribs are arranged alternately, while extending radially from the center protrusion portion toward the annular protrusion portion to form a honeycomb shape.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: TS Tech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomohisa Chiba, Yoshinori Ueyama

Patent number: 9643673Abstract: The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a bottom-plate structure, for a vehicle seat, that can be reinforced with a reduced increase in weight. A bottom plate covered with a surface material is provided on a vehicle body, and the top surface of the bottom plate supports a cushioning material. The bottom plate has reinforcing parts that cross the width-wise center of the bottom plate, at least parts of the reinforcing parts being laid out obliquely with respect to the front-to-back direction of a vehicle seat. Since the reinforcing parts reinforce the bottom plate, the bottom plate can be reinforced with a reduced increase in bottom-plate weight relative to conventional bottom-plate structures.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: TS TECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomohisa Chiba, Katsuhiro Kiya, Yoshinori Ueyama

Patent number: 5138356Abstract: An automatic focus adjusting apparatus of a camera calculates amount of defocus of an object, and repeatedly calculates the speed of the image plane of the object based on the amount of defocus. When releasing operation of the camera is started, image plane speed of the object at the time of exposure is estimated by using a secondary curve based on the speed of the image plane, and the lens is driven based on the data thereof. Since the image plane speed of the object is estimated by using the secondary curve equation, correction of the amount of defocus can be accurately done regardless of the speed of movement of the object.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1991Date of Patent: August 11, 1992Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kimihiko Nakamura, Yoshinori Ueyama, Masataka Hamada, Kenji Ishibashi
