Vehicle seat structure

A floor board positioned in the foot area of an occupant seated in an occupant seat is allowed to be driven up or down. In an automobile movable floor apparatus, a floor boardthat covers the upper face of an automobile body floorand a raising-lowering drive mechanismthat drives the floor boardto be raised or lowered are provided in the foot area of an occupant seated in an occupant seat, and a toe board portionsloping down to the rear and a floor base portionthat extends toward the rear of the automobile body and is continuous with the rear end of the toe board portionare provided in the automobile body floor. The floor boardincludes a toe board corresponding portionthat corresponds to the toe board portionof the automobile body floor, and a floor base corresponding portionthat corresponds to the floor base portion, and the toe board corresponding portionand the floor base corresponding portionare formed in a flattened V-like shape when viewed from the side.

Automobile movable floor apparatus

A seat belt system for a vehicle comprising at least a seat, and a recess which is formed receding downwardly in a floor of the vehicle immediately behind the seat. A cross member extends across the vehicle width above the recess and is fixed to the vehicle body at its opposite ends. A buckle connecting member is connected with a buckle of the seat belt for the seat at one end and connected with the cross member at the other end.

Seat belt system for a vehicle

A seat device of a vehicle including a substantially flat floor surface substantially extending across a full cabin space of the vehicle, front row seats, center row seats and a rear row seat disposed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle on the floor surface, a seat storage pan extending rearward the rear row seat and downward a level of the floor surface, the front row seats being disposed with a space, the center row seats including a plurality of seats in which at least one of the seats is movable in a lateral direction of the vehicle. When the rear row seat is received in the seat storage pan, a substantially flat and continuous surface of a substantially same level as the floor surface is formed rearward the center row seats to a rear end of the cabin space with a substantially full width of the cabin space. When the center row seats are disposed offset to one side of the vehicle with regard to the lateral direction, a substantially flat and continuous surface of a substantially same level as the floor surface is formed rearward the front row seats to a rear end of the cabin space. When the center row seats are disposed to produce a space at a central portion of the vehicle in the lateral direction, a substantially flat and continuous surface of a substantially same level as the floor surface is formed rearward the front row seats to a rear end of the cabin space at a central portion of the cabin space in the lateral direction.

Seat device of a vehicle

A seatback frame structure (F) for a seatback ( ) of a seat (S) comprises a generally rectangular seatback frame ( ) and a lower or primary wire frame ( ) which has base frame sections ( ) extending from opposite vertical side frame sections ( ) of the rectangular seatback frame ( ) at a height of lumbar vertebras, respectively, an upward extending support frame section ( ) which extends upward from the base frame sections ( ) and comprises opposite vertical side frame sections ( ) extending from the base sections ( ), respectively, and a horizontal frame section ( ) extending between the opposite vertical side frame sections ( ) at a height of shoulder blades, and an upper or subsidiary wire frame ( ) extending between the opposite vertical side frame sections ( ) behind the upward extending support frame section ( ). The upward extending support frame section ( ) at its upper part is bent backward so as to extend along the backbone of a person P sitting on the seat S.

Seat arrangement of a vehicle

A side air bag apparatus installed within a seat has an air bag unit containing an inflator and a folded air bag in an air bag unit housing which is placed on a side of the center of the seat with respect to and in close proximity to a frame member extending along a side section of the seat so as to direct an opening of the air bag unit housing in a specified direction. The air bag unit housing is secured to the frame member by a bracket frame.

Side air bag apparatus for vehicle

A cargo blocking device for a vehicle that prevents cargo from moving forward beyond a rear passenger seat in an event of a front end collision on a sudden stop of the vehicle. The cargo blocking device can include a blocking frame connected to a backrest of the rear passenger seat. The seat cushion can be hinged to move to an approximately upright vertical position and the backrest can be positioned in an approximately horizontal rest position.

Cargo blocking device for vehicle

A side air bag apparatus installed within a seat has an air bag unit containing an inflator and a folded air bag in an air bag unit housing which is connected to a firing control unit by way of a harness partly extending from the air bag unit within and along a lower transverse section of the seat from one side of the seat close to a door to the other side of the seat and partly extending under the seat to the firing control unit via a coupler secured to the underside of the seat.

Supplemental restraint side air bag apparatus for vehicle

A support structure for supporting an acoustic oscillation transferring device has a cushion forming a part of an automobile's seat and having an open space therein in which a frame of the device is supported, and an unstretchable but flexible band material for securing a frame of the device to a frame of the automobile's seat.
