An interior member includes a first skin material, a second skin material, and transducers. The first skin material includes a first exposed part exposed to a cabin interior, and a first embedded part embedded on a cabin exterior side from the first exposed part. The second skin material includes a second exposed part exposed to the cabin interior and adjacent to the first exposed part, and a second embedded part embedded on the cabin exterior side from the second exposed part and joined to the first embedded part. The transducers each include a main body arranged directly back of the first exposed part, and a wiring part disposed directly back of at least the first embedded part and electrically connected to the main body. An end of each wiring part is disposed on the cabin exterior side of the first embedded part.

Interior member

A decorative sheet includes, from the front side to the back side, a skin layer, an intermediate layer, a design layer, and a soft layer. Recesses open on at least one of a front surface and a back surface of the design layer. The decorative sheet further includes display regions formed by the recesses. The display regions display a predetermined design on a front surface of the skin layer by light irradiated from the back side. Light is irradiated from the back side to the display regions via the soft layer. Light blocking partition parts of the soft layer are each disposed between two adjacent display regions as seen from the front side, and prevent light to be irradiated to one display region from leaking into the other display region via the soft layer.

Decorative sheet and interior member

An armrest includes an arm-side wire harness and an arm body member. The arm-side wire harness includes an electric wire and an arm-side connector on an end of the electric wire to be coupled to a mount member-side connector mounted on a mount member. The arm body member includes an arrangement section in which the electric wire of the arm-side wire harness is arranged and a mount member-side wall that is to be arranged opposite the mount member. The arm body member is to be fixed to the mount member while the mount member-side wall being opposite the mount member. The mount member-side wall includes a connector insertion hole through which the mount member-side connector can be inserted. The arm-side connector and the mount member-side connector can be arranged in the arrangement section. The arm body member includes an operation hole that is continuous from the arrangement section.

Armrest and seat with armrest

An armrest includes a frame, a mounting portion included in the frame and having a mounting surface with which the mounting portion is mounted on a bracket of a seat, an armrest-side wire harness arranged in the frame, and an armrest-side connector connected to the armrest-side wire harness and being open in a direction from the mounting surface toward the bracket.

Armrest

An armrest described herein includes an arm-side wire harness including an electric wire and an arm-side connector that is on an end of the electric wire and is to be coupled to a seat-side connector mounted on a seat. The armrest further includes an arm body member including an electric wire routing cavity in which the electric wire of the arm-side wire harness is arranged and a seat-side wall that is to be arranged opposite a seat frame of the seat. The arm body member is to be fixed to the seat frame while the seat-side wall being opposite the seat frame. The seat-side wall includes a connector insertion hole through which the arm-side connector can be inserted. The arm body member includes an operation hole that is continuous from the connector insertion hole via an arrangement section of the electric wire routing cavity.

An armrest includes a bracket fixed to a frame of a seat, an armrest body member rotatably mounted on the bracket, a receiver coil mounted in the armrest body member, and a transmitter coil mounted in the bracket and transferring power to the receiver coil with a non-contact transmission system.

An armrest includes a first branch cable and a second branch cable, a frame, a skin covering the frame, and a foamed resin material. The frame includes a first routing section and a second routing section in which the first branch cable and the second branch cable are arranged, respectively. The foamed resin material is disposed on an inner side of the skin. The first branch cable and the second branch cable are disposed within the foamed resin material in the first routing section and the second routing section.

An armrest according to the technology described herein includes a bracket, an armrest body, a device connecting port, an armrest-side connector, and a cable. The bracket is fixed to a seat frame. The armrest body is attached to the bracket to be rotatable. The device connecting port is exposed through an outer surface of the armrest body. The armrest-side connector is fixed to the seat frame at a position different from the bracket. The cable includes an end connected to the device connecting port and an end connected to an armrest-side connector. The armrest body includes a cable retaining portion through which the cable is passed and in which the cable is retained. Any one of the bracket and the armrest body includes a hole (an elongated hole) that allows movement of the cable along with rotation of the armrest body.

An armrest includes a cable to be connected to a seat-side cable arranged on a seat, and a body member that is mountable on the seat and includes a routing section therein in which the cable is arranged. The cable includes an arranged portion that is arranged in the routing section and a connecting operation section that extends outside the routing section when being connected to the seat-side cable. The connecting operation section is arranged in the routing section when the body member is mounted on the seat.

A stay for headrest includes a hollow metallic stay body, and an end installation body. The stay body is formed as a letter-'U' shape including a base, and paired legs extending respectively from opposite ends of the base. The end installation body is formed of a polymeric material, and includes a solid portion arranged inside a hollow interior in a leading end portion of the paired legs, and a spherical portion protruding from the leading end portion of the paired legs.
