In a seat-rotating device that enables a seat to be rotated on a base member, a rattle-suppressing member operating in association with a lock member, which switches between the locked state in which rotation of an annular rotating member supporting a seat frame is prevented and release of the locked state, is in close contact with both a support member and the annular rotating member when the lock member is at the locked position, and a gap is created between the support member and the annular rotating member when the lock member attains the lock release position. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the seat from rattling when it is in a stationary state and to facilitate rotation by releasing the rattle-preventing state when the seat is rotating.

Seat-rotating device

A rotating device for a vehicle interior item is provided with latching means that is provided on a side of a base member having a rotation support part, and engagement means that is provided on a side of a rotating member supporting a vehicle interior item and being rotatably supported by the rotation support part, and can be switched between a state in which the engagement means engages with the latching means so as to suppress detachment of the rotating member from the base member and a state in which the engagement with the latching means is released when the rotating member attains the rotatable state, wherein the latching means and the engagement means are disposed further outside than the rotating member in plan view at least when the rotating member is in the non-rotating state. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in the height while suppressing detachment when the vehicle interior item is not rotating.

Rotating device for vehicle interior item, and rotating device for vehicle seat

Provided is a belt assist device having a compact configuration and being configured to move a seatbelt to an easily reachable position. A vehicle seat includes a belt assist device attached to a lateral portion of a seat back and configured to move a portion of a seatbelt placed on the lateral portion to the easily reachable position. The belt assist device includes a rotary member attached to a recessed housing portion of the lateral portion via a rotary shaft and configured to rotate up and down between a housing position at which the rotary member is housed in the seat back and a protruding position at which the rotary member rotates to protrude forward of the seat back to push out a portion of the seatbelt. The rotary member is disposed forward of a belt guide provided at the periphery of an upper end of the seat back.

Seatbelt assist device and vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion Sand a seat back S. The seat back Sincludes a seat back frame Fconstituting a framework thereof, a pressure-receiving memberlocated in the seat back frame Fand designed to support an upper body of an occupant, elastically supporting memberselastically supporting the pressure-receiving memberin the seat back frame F, and a cover material covering the seat back frame Fand the pressure-receiving member. The seat back is configured such that when a backward movement load is applied from the upper body of the occupant seated on the seat cushion Sto the seat back S, the pressure-receiving membermoves backward to allow the upper body of the occupant to sink into the seat back S. A vibrating unitis attached to the pressure-receiving member

Vehicle seat

A seat with an alertness-maintaining device that can efficiently secure a drive source (for example, a motor) when the drive source is internally housed and a vibratory stimulus is imparted to the occupant. The present disclosure relates to a seat with an alertness-maintaining device, the seat being provided with an alertness-maintaining device for imparting physical force to the occupant to promote alertness. A load-supporting portion for supporting the load on the back of the occupant is installed, and a device drive unit for imparting physical force to the occupant, the device drive unit that forms the alertness-maintaining device, is attached to the load-supporting portion. The device drive unit is provided with a drive source and a support member. The support member is attached to the load-supporting portion while grasping a part of the load-supporting portion by a drive source attachment surface portion and a load-supporting portion-clamping piece.

Seat with alertness-maintaining device

A vehicle seat is provided with a side support device configured to assist vehicle exit behavior of an occupant while stably securing a holding property for the sitting occupant. The vehicle seat includes a side support device configured to support a cushion side portion of a seat cushion to be switchable between a seating available position and a vehicle exit assist position, a lock device configured to lock the cushion side portion in the seating available position, and a lock release device configured to release a lock state of the lock device. The lock release device includes a first lever configured to detect sitting of the occupant on a cushion center portion and a second lever configured to detect sitting of the occupant on the cushion side portion. The lock state is released when the detection by the second lever occurs while the detection by the first lever continues.

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion Sand a seat back S. The seat back Sincludes a seat back frame Fconstituting a framework thereof, a pressure-receiving memberlocated in the seat back frame Fand configured to support an upper body of an occupant, elastically supporting memberselastically supporting the pressure-receiving memberin the seat back frame F, and a cover material covering the seat back frame Fand the pressure-receiving member. The seat back is configured such that when a backward movement load is applied from the upper body of the occupant seated on the seat cushion Sto the seat back S, the pressure-receiving membermoves backward to allow the upper body of the occupant to sink into the seat back S.
