| 20090121526 | Head Rest Control Systems - It is one object of the present invention to provide a control for moving a head rest in response to a signal from a sensor detecting a distance between the head rest and a head of a passenger, in which even if the head of the passenger moves within a predetermined range, the head rest can be prevented from moving depending on the motion of the head of the passenger so as to remove discomfort for the passenger. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100314930 | BUCKLE STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE SEAT - A buckle structure of a vehicle seat includes: a seat belt that restrains an occupant; a tongue member that is provided at the seat belt; and a buckle member that is configured to lock the tongue member. The buckle member is disposed at a restraint position of the vehicle seat so that a protruding unit provided at the buckle member protrudes from the restraint position due to a pushing member, and when the tongue member is inserted into the buckle member, the tongue member is locked to the buckle member after the protruding unit returns to the restraint position against pushing forces of the pushing member. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20090096468 | HEAD REST DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - When moving a head rest front portion in a full-open position direction, an ECU determines that the head rest front portion comes close to an occupant head portion on the basis of a detection result of an electrostatic capacitance sensor so as to stop the head rest front portion, and determines that the head rest front portion comes close to the occupant head portion on the basis of an absolute capacitance change with respect to a reference electrostatic capacitance value of the electrostatic capacitance sensor. Alternatively, the ECU determines that the head rest front portion comes close to the occupant head portion on the basis of a change amount of the electrostatic capacitance value of the electrostatic capacitance sensor. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100117410 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat includes a first sensor that is disposed inside a seat back and is capable of detecting a back-side collision of a vehicle when pressed by a body of a sitting passenger, and a second sensor that is capable of detecting the back-side collision of the vehicle based on a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. A head rest is constructed to be moved forwardly based on detection signals when both of the sensors detect the back-side collision of the vehicle. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20090302648 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat includes a cushion frame having conductivity; a cushion pad coveringly mounted on the cushion frame; and a cushion cover configured to cover the cushion pad. First thread members having conductive fibers are interwoven into the cushion cover. A capacitance measurer is provided to the vehicle seat to measure capacitance between the cushion frame and the conductive fibers. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100096899 | SEAT CUSHION COVERING STRUCTURE - A seat cushion covering structure includes a fabric seat cushion cover into which conductive fibers, electrically connected at one end to a conductive member, are woven, and a groove, which is formed in the seat cushion and into which the fabric seat cushion cover is tucked. The conductive member is provided in the groove. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100101858 | CONDUCTIVE FIBER CONNECTING METHOD AND STRUCTURE - A method and a structure of electrically connecting a conductive fiber in fabric to an external device electrically connects the conductive fiber to the external device by pressing a conductive member that is electrically connected to the external device against the fabric. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100109390 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat is provided. The vehicle seat includes a sheet-like sensor member, a sheet-like electric device, and a seat main body configuring a sitting portion and including therein the sensor member and the electric device while overlapping each other. The electric device is provided between a pad member which forms a cushion element of the seat main body and a skin cover which covers an outer surface side of the pad member, and the sensor member is provided between the electric device and the skin cover. The electric device is formed with a through hole, so that a measuring circuit unit which is wired and connected to the sensor member is provided in an inner surface side of the electric device, and the measuring circuit unit is accommodated in a recessed portion formed in the pad member. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20100102833 | SITTING DETECTION SYSTEM - A sitting detection system determines whether an occupant is seated in a vehicle seat or not by applying a DC voltage to a sheet-like detection electrode that is provided in the seat, and measuring the time for capacitance between the detection electrode and a ground to be charged to a predetermined level using simple implement. The use of the conductive woven cloth, which is formed with the surface member of the seat, as the detection electrode enables not to degrade the texture of the seat. The threshold time for detecting whether an occupant is seated in a seat or not may be set using a charging time which is measured when no occupant is seated in the seat as the initial value. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20090160235 | HEAD REST DEVICE - A head rest device that improves reliability of detecting a head on the basis of a change in capacitance without complicating a wiring structure. A head rest device is provided with a head rest rear portion configured to be supported to a seat back, and a head rest front portion freely moving forward and backward between a fully-closed position coming close to the head rest rear portion and a fully-open position separated from the head rest rear portion. The head rest front portion is moved by an actuator. The head rest front portion has a sensor electrode structured such that its capacitance is changed as a head of an occupant approaches, and an ECU controlling the actuator so as to move the head rest front portion and detecting the approach of the head of the occupant on the basis of a change of the capacitance of the sensor electrode thereon. | 06-25-2009 |
