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

In a vehicle seat, a side frame of a seat back frame has a front wall that is formed so as to be bent inward continuously from a front edge of a plate-shaped portion and forms a curved region extending vertically from around the rotating shaft and reaching an upper frame, and a rear wall that is formed so as to be bent inward continuously from a rear edge of the plate-shaped portion and forms a curved region extending vertically from around the rotating shaft and reaching the upper frame, and an inner edge of the front wall has a projecting piece that spreads to the inside from a virtual outline corresponding to a shape of the upper frame and is superimposed on the front wall of the upper frame from the rear. This provides a vehicle seat that can contribute to improvement of the work efficiency when assembling a seat back frame.

Vehicle 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.

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.

Vehicle seat having internal support member

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, a pair of inclined portions extending laterally from a part of either lateral side of the main body with an upward slant, and front and rear mounting portions engaged by front and rear cross members of the seat cushion frame. A pressure sensor is mounted on a part of an upper surface of the internal support member located ahead of the inclined portions. The main body of the internal support member is provided with a pair of openings located on either side of the pressure sensor, and a connecting portion connecting the pressure sensor with a part of the front mounting portion. The pressure sensor and the openings are spaced from the front edge of the main body.

A vehicle seat includes: a frame provided in at least one of a seat cushion and a seat back; an internal support member for supporting an occupant, the internal support member including a main body in plate or sheet form positioned within the frame and extending substantially in parallel with the frame, and a pair of inclined portions extending laterally outward from at least a part of either lateral side of the main body with a slant away from the frame; a pad placed on a front side of the frame and the internal support member; a skin member covering the pad; and a clip securing another member to one of the inclined portions. The one inclined portion is formed with a tubular portion projecting from a back side thereof orthogonally to the main body, the tubular portion internally defining a mounting hole receiving the clip therein.
