The present invention provides a seat which is unlikely to cause wrinkles or slack in a surface cover thereof, makes surface cover attachment and detachment simple, and is also capable of withstanding long-term use. To this end, a second fastening partfor attachably/detachably connecting a cushion materialand a surface coverto one another is formed as a zipper in a seat

Seat

To make it possible to improve a low-tone reproducing ability with a simple structure in an acoustic device including speakers in a headrest. The acoustic device includes a core material of a closed structure functioning as a core of a headrest main body, acoustic speakersdisposed in the core material, and hollow headrest staysthat pierce through the core material. The headrest stayscirculate the air on the inside of the core material to the outer side via hollow sections.

Acoustic device

A recessed seam structure for a cover () that improves workability when forming a recessed seam (A) and allows frequent attachment and detachment at the recessed seam (A) is provided. In a seat () having the recessed seam (A) formed by pulling part of the cover () toward a side of a cushion material (), the recessed seam (A) is provided with an opening and closing fastener () configured to couple the cover () and the cushion material (), and the opening and closing fastener () includes a first fastener half () fixed to a back face of the cover () and a second fastener half () fixed to the cushion material (). In such a seat (), the recessed seam (A) can be formed easily and reliably on the seat () by aligning an end of the first fastener half () in a longitudinal direction and an end of the second fastener half () in the longitudinal direction of the opening and closing fastener () and simply sliding a slider ().

Recessed seam structure for cover

There is provided a head rest devicethat does not impair safety of a seated person even when a secondary batteryis accommodated therein. An accommodation spacepartitioned by a partitioning plate partis provided inside a cushioning core materialof a head rest main body, and a secondary batteryis accommodated inside the accommodation space

Head rest device

To prevent a person from experiencing discomfort when touching portions of a headrest having built-in speakers; to enable the headrest to be formed compactly by arranging the speakers close to the body of the person; and to prevent any decrease in the acoustic pressure and/or acoustic quality of sound from the speakers. Provided are: a plurality of speakers; fiber padsprovided to the front surfaces of the speakers; a sound-insulating padprovided between the fiber pads; and a surface skinfor covering the speakers, the fiber pads, and the sound-insulating pad, the fiber padsbeing formed from an elastic material that has a three-dimensional-mesh structure therein, and the sound-insulating padbeing formed from an elastic material for minimizing the transmission of sound.

Headrest and vehicle seat with integrated speakers

To make it possible to provide an acoustic device in a headrest device such that a standard of a shock is satisfied and the performance of the acoustic device can be efficiently exhibited. In the headrest device, a shock resistant surface is formed in a core material of a headrest main body, an opening is formed in the shock resistant surface, and a non-contact type acoustic microphone is disposed on the inner side of the opening.

Headrest device and sound collecting device

Container for accommodating small article(s) comprises: a container body including flange portion wherein connecting slits are formed; and a container lid element including lateral wall region having projected connecting pieces. A trim cover assembly of the seat includes: a peripheral end area or margin defined in a container mounting hole formed in the trim cover assembly; and connecting slits formed in that margin. In assembly, the connecting pieces are inserted through those flanged portion, while simultaneously the margin of trim cover assembly is sandwiched between the flanged portion and lateral wall region. Those free ends are flattened to connecting slits, respectively, so that free ends of the connecting pieces project from the connect together all the container body, container lid element and trim cover assembly. Finally, the trim cover assembly is attached upon a foam padding, with the container body inserted in a recession of the foam padding.
