A vehicle seat device capable of suitably restraining an occupant by means of a seat belt device includes a seat main body having a seat cushion and a seat back, a reclining device connecting the seat back to the seat cushion so as to be pivotable and capable of locking a pivoting motion of the seat back, and a seat belt device for restraining an occupant seated on the seat main body. The seat belt device includes a lap belt restraining the occupant's lumbar or thighs, a belt anchor attached at a position beside the seat main body and having a belt engaging portion engaging with an engaged portion provided in a tip portion of the lap belt, and an anchor moving device capable of moving the belt engaging portion of the belt anchor in a seat front to back direction with respect to the seat main body.

Vehicle seat device

To provide a vehicle seat which makes the load from the airbag more likely to be concentrated on a weakened part of a skin member, a vehicle seat provided with a seat cushion constituting a seating surface and a seat back constituting a backrest includes: a seat back frame forming a structural member of the seat back; an airbag module supported on a side portion of the seat back frame on a vehicle outer side; a pad member covering the airbag module; and a skin member covering a surface of the pad member, wherein the skin member is provided with a weakened part vertically extending on an edge part of the seat back on a vehicle outer side and a first low-elasticity reinforcement part extending from a vicinity of the weakened part in a direction intersecting with the weakened part.

Vehicle seat and method for manufacturing the same

Provided is a conveyance seat equipped with a side airbag device with which an airbag can be inflation-deployed in a more stable state. The conveyance seat includes a seat back and a side airbag device attached to a side portion of the seat back. The seat back includes a back frame having a side frame and a side support member attached to the front part of the side frame and protruding to the seat front side beyond the side frame. The side airbag device has a first airbag inflated on the outside surface side of the side frame and a second airbag inflated on the inside surface side of the side frame. The second airbag passes through a gap formed between the side frame and the side support member in the seat front to back direction and is inflated on the inside surface side of side frame.

Conveyance seat

To provide a vehicle seat which makes the load from the airbag more likely to be concentrated on a weakened part of a skin member, a vehicle seat provided with a seat cushion constituting a seating surface and a seat back constituting a backrest including a seat back frame forming a structural member of the seat back; an airbag module supported on a side portion of the seat back frame on a vehicle outer side; a pad member covering the airbag module; and a skin member covering a surface of the pad member, wherein the skin member is provided with a weakened part vertically extending on an edge part of the seat back on a vehicle outer side and a first low-elasticity reinforcement part extending from a vicinity of the weakened part in a direction intersecting with the weakened part.

Vehicle seat

An occupant protection apparatus includes: a vehicle seat arranged in an inner space of a side wall of a vehicle; a side airbag device provided in the side wall or the vehicle seat and including a side airbag to be inflated and deployed between the side wall and the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat includes: a pressure-receiving portion to receive a load from an occupant seated on the vehicle seat; and a frame to support the pressure-receiving portion. The occupant protection apparatus further comprising an electronic control circuit configured to perform moving the pressure-receiving portion so that the occupant is pushed away from the side wall before the occupant comes into contact with the side airbag at an activation time when the side airbag device is activated by an impact acting on the side wall from an outside of the vehicle and the side airbag is inflated and deployed.

Occupant protection apparatus

A vehicle interior component, having rigidity for mitigating an impact from a side collision, includes a door panel, a door trim adapted to be attached to the door panel, and a box-shaped protector arranged between the door panel and the door trim and attached to one of the door panel and the door trim. An outer wall groove extending in a vehicle front to back direction is formed in an outer wall of the protector, which is opposite to the other of the door panel and the door trim. The outer wall is partitioned by the outer wall groove in an up to down direction into an upper opposite surface and a lower opposite surface, and one of the upper opposite surface and the lower opposite surface has an up-down length at a vehicle front side, which is larger than an up-down length at a vehicle rear side.
