A vehicle seat includes: a seat frame; a seat cover provided with a rupture portion; an airbag disposed in the seat; a pair of webbings provided so as to surround the airbag on a back surface side of the seat cover, one end sides of the webbings being mounted to the rupture portion; and a mounting section mounting the other end sides of the webbings to the seat frame. In a vehicle collision, the airbag is protruded out of the seat by rupturing and opening the rupture portion. The mounting section is provided at a place where a body of the seat frame is disposed. When the airbag is uninflated, the mounting section holds the other ends of the webbings apart from the body of the seat frame, and an inhibition portion in the mounting section inhibits contact between an edge-shaped portion formed in the body and the webbings.

Vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes a side airbag device that includes an inflator and a bag body that inflates in a case in which the bag body is internally supplied with gas generated by the inflator, a side frame to which the side airbag device is attached, and a seatback pad that is attached to the side frame. The seatback pad is provided with an opening through which the inflating bag body passes, and a door that closes off the opening and that is pushed and swung by the inflating bag body so as to open up the opening. A depression is formed on a swing axis side of the door.

An automatic transmission for a vehicle having a planetary gear mechanism, which is accommodated in an automatic transmission case, is provided with an accordion-like leaf spring disposed in a gap for allowing interior spaces of an automatic transmission case to communicate with each other, the gap being provided in the automatic transmission case between an outer peripheral surface of axially movable brake elements which are fixed against rotation on the one hand, and an inner peripheral surface of the automatic transmission case on the other. The accordion-like leaf spring is adapted to engage and bias a friction plate and has folded-back portions or pleats that lie generally parallel to the rotating shaft.
