Provided are a composite member, a seat for automobile, and a component for automobile that suppress a decrease in strength at a connection place between a metal member and a fiber-reinforced member. A composite member includes: a fiber-reinforced member formed by impregnating a plurality of sheet-shaped core materials with a matrix resin; and a metal member joined to the fiber-reinforced member. The composite member has a structure in which a part of the metal member is sandwiched and fixed between a plurality of the core materials stacked in a thickness direction at a joint place between the fiber-reinforced member and the metal member.

Composite member, seat for automobile, and component for automobile

A vehicle seat frame, which is attached to a vehicle body, includes: a frame body that extends along an outer frame of the vehicle seat frame, the frame body having a hollow space therein, and an airbag that is disposed in the hollow space of the frame body. The airbag is connected to a gas supply device that supplies gas into the airbag to deploy the airbag in the hollow space in a case where an impact equal to or more than a predetermined value is detected by an impact sensor.

Vehicle seat frame

A vehicle seat includes a cushion frame, a base portion, and a guide structure. The guide structure includes a rail and a rolling mechanism. The rolling mechanism includes an upper guide roller, a lower guide roller, and a roller holder. The rolling mechanism is sandwiched by an upper rolling surface and a lower rolling surface of the rail. The guide structure is configured such that when an occupant load is input to the cushion frame, the guide roller and the rolling surface at one of a first contact point or a second contact point come relatively close together, such that pressure increases, due to a relative position of the roller holder and the rail changing, with the other of the first contact point or the second contact point as a reference point.
