A vehicle seat includes a base part, a first movable part, a second movable part, a lock member, and an interlocking mechanism configured to link movement of the lock member to movement of the second movable part. The interlocking mechanism includes an attaching member, a first rotational member connected to the second movable part, a second rotational member connected to the lock member, and a swingable member provided swingably on the second rotational member. The engagement of the swingable member and the first rotational member causes the first rotational member and the second rotational member to rotate together, whereby the lock member moves from a lock position to an unlock position. The swingable member disengaging from the first rotational member permits the first rotational member and the second rotational member to rotate independently, whereby the lock member moves from the unlock position to the lock position.

A sensor disposition structure in a seat includes a cushion pad and a board-like member which is disposed under the cushion pad. A concave is formed in an upper surface of the board-like member, and a sensor is disposed in the concave.

Sensor disposition structure in seat

Provided is a vehicle seat that allows engagement holes for engaging an end part of the skin member to be provided without burdening the seat frame design. The seat cushion of the vehicle seat includes a frame structure, a support member supported by the frame structure within the frame structure to resiliently support an occupant, a pad provided on a proximal side of the frame structure and the support member, and a skin member covering the pad. The support member is provided with plurality of engagement portions engaging end parts of the skin member.

Rigidity is improved at a part where side frame pieces overlap each other in a side frame. In a vehicle seat provided with a seat back frame, a side frame of the seat back frame has a first side frame piece and a second side frame piece partially overlapping each other in a direction of extension of the side frame. The side frame has an overlapping part where both the first side frame piece and the second side frame piece overlap each other. At the overlapping part, the side frame pieces overlap each other in a state where a plurality of closed regions and closed by being surrounded by both side frame pieces are formed in a cross section of the overlapping part intersecting with the direction of extension of the side frame.

A vehicle seat comprises: a pair of opposed frames disposed opposite to and separately from each other; a pair of connecting frames disposed separately from each other in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to an opposing direction of the pair of opposed frames, the connecting frames being configured to connect the pair of opposed frames; a bridging wire disposed to bridge the pair of connecting frames; a reinforcing wire disposed to cross the bridging wire as viewed from an occupant side; and a plate-shaped plastic member configured to cover the bridging wire and the reinforcing wire at least at their crossover such that the bridging wire and the reinforcing wire are arranged to be spaced apart from and thus kept out of contact with each other, the bridging wire and the reinforcing wire being connected with the plate-shaped plastic member.

A vehicle seat comprises a frame member, a plate-shaped support member, and a blower. The frame member includes a pair of opposed frames disposed opposite to and separately from each other, and a first connecting frame by which the pair of opposed frames are connected. The plate-shaped support member is disposed between the pair of opposed frames and configured to receive a load from an occupant. The blower is attached to the support member, and part of the blower is disposed on a side of the first connecting frame that is opposite to an occupant side thereof.

A vehicle seat includes a pair of side frames disposed separately from each other in a lateral direction; a pair of connecting frames disposed separately from each other to connect the pair of side frames; and a supporting member including hook portions hooked on the pair of connecting frames, the supporting member being laid to bridge the pair of connecting frames, and configured to support an occupant, wherein a tubular member in which a connecting frame is disposed is provided in a position between the hook portions and the side frames. The tubular member is configured to contact the hook portion to thereby restrict a position of the supporting member in the lateral direction.

A vehicle seat includes an internal support member for supporting a seat occupant. The internal support member includes a main body in plate or sheet form positioned within a seat cushion frame and first and second mounting portions engaged by first and second cross members of the seat cushion frame. A pressure sensor is mounted on a part of an upper surface of the internal support member which is closer to the first cross member than the second cross member. The main body of the internal support member is formed with a pair of openings positioned on either side of a central longitudinal line. A sensor mounting portion supporting the pressure sensor is defined between mutually adjoining edges of the openings. The first mounting portion includes a central first mounting piece which is positioned laterally centrally and has a greater width than the sensor mounting portion.
