An integrated child booster seat, to allow more securely switching of a usual seat and a child seat with a relatively simple configuration, in which a seat cushion is configured by a cushion part in which a seat for a general passenger is formed on one side and a child seat is formed on the reverse side, a coupling pipe which coaxially supports the front and the back of the cushion part and which is swingably held with outside of lateral sides of the cushion part in the center of turning, supporting parts that bind and support the cushion part, and binding release parts that release binding by the supporting parts of the cushion part.

Integrated child booster seat

A headrest includes: (a) a headrest frame, (b) a speaker unit supported by the headrest frame and having a speaker box, a speaker attached to the speaker box, and a megaphone-shaped tube attached to the speaker box, (c) a cushion material, (d) a skin material having an opening, sewed into a pouch shape, and covering the headrest frame, the speaker unit, and the cushion material, and (e) a ring-shaped member securing the entire opening-side end portion of the skin material sandwiched between the ring-shaped member and the megaphone-shaped tube.

Headrest

A vehicle seat is equipped with a seatback having a mounting portion, a headrest having a headrest frame and an electric component, a first connector, and a second connector. The first connector has an engaging portion engaged with a hole of the headrest frame, a protrusion engaging the second connector, and a first connector terminal electrically connected to a lead wire of the electric component. The second connector has a first engaging piece engaged with a hole of the guide bracket from the outside of the guide bracket, a second engaging piece engaged with the protrusion of the first connector from the outside of the first connector, and a second connector terminal electrically connected to a lead wire wired in the seatback and the first connector terminal. The engagement between the hole of the mounting portion and the first engaging piece of the second connector can be released irreversibly.

Vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes: (a) a seat structure having a seat cushion frame including a first seat side member and a second seat side member, and a seat back frame; (b) a seat slide mechanism that is capable of moving the seat structure; (c) a first upper riser that is fixed to the seat slide mechanism and supports the first seat side member; (d) a second upper riser that is fixed to the seat slide mechanism and supports the second seat side member; (e) a first locking mechanism that locks and unlocks the first seat side member to and from the seat slide mechanism; and (f) a second locking mechanism that locks the second seat side member to the seat slide mechanism when an excessive load is input.
