20100258334 | SKIN MATERIAL OF VEHICLE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR THE SAME - In a skin material of vehicle interior equipment, which includes a first fabric material that is formed of a first conductive wire material and a main fiber material weaker than the first conductive wire material, and a manufacturing method for the skin material, part of the main fiber material is removed from the first fabric material, and a conductive member, which is used to supply electric power to the conductive wire material, is electrically connected to the exposed first conductive wire material. | 10-14-2010 |
20110284515 | CLOTH MEMBER - A cloth member is provided. The cloth member includes a conductive wire configured to generate heat by applying electric current, and a plane-shaped connecting member having conductivity. The conductive wire has an exposed part that is exposed to an outside from the cloth member at a part in a longitudinal direction of the wire. The place-shaped connecting member is folded to sandwich the exposed part of the conductive wire therebetween such that folded surfaces of the connecting member are surface-adhered with each other integrally with the exposed part to be electrically connected to the exposed part. | 11-24-2011 |
20120120626 | FIXING APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE DEVICE - A fixing apparatus for a portable device mounted to a vehicle seat is provided. The fixing apparatus includes a first fixing part that is supported rotatably by a first support part attached to the vehicle seat, and a second fixing part that is supported rotatably by a second support part attached to the vehicle seat. At least one of the first and second fixing parts is configured to be slidable in a direction of getting close to and away from the other of the fixing parts, and the portable device is sandwiched and fixed between the first and second fixing parts. | 05-17-2012 |
20120156926 | CONNECTION MEMBER, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME AND CONNECTION STRUCTURE - A connection member which is electrically connected to a conductive fabric having conductive threads, a method for manufacturing the connection member, and a connection structure are provided. The connection member includes a band-shaped part including conductive wires which extend in a longitudinal direction, and a connection terminal which is attached to an end portion of the conductive wires. The method includes forming an original band-shaped member by weaving while using the conductive wires for a part of warp and using at least non-conductive threads for weft; exposing the conductive wires at an end portion of the original band-shaped member; | 06-21-2012 |
20120225275 | FABRIC MATERIAL - Fabric material has nonconductive core yarn, and conductive sheath yarn arranged in a spiral pattern around the core yarn. The sheath yarn includes conductive first yarn, and second yarn. At least five strands of the first yarn are arranged close-packed together while being twisted around the second yarn. | 09-06-2012 |
20130113239 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat includes a seat main body, a heating portion provided in the seat main body, a degree-of-contact measuring portion that measures a degree of contact between the seat main body and an occupant seated on the seat main body, and a control portion that controls an amount of heat output from the heating portion such that the amount of heat increases according to an increase in the degree of contact between the seat main body and the occupant, and decreases according to a decrease in the degree of contact between the seat main body and the occupant. | 05-09-2013 |
20130189870 | CONNECTOR - A connector of the invention includes first and second conducting parts and a coupling part. The coupling part couples ends of the first and second conducting parts to allow the first and second conducting parts to turn from a closed position, in which the first and second conducting parts sandwich therebetween a conductor having flexibility, to an open position, in which the first and second conducting parts release the conductor. At least one of the first and second conducting parts includes a locking projection. The locking projection is configured to swing in accordance with the turning of the one of the conducting parts and pass through the conductor. The locking projection is of a curved form conforming to a swing track of the locking projection. | 07-25-2013 |
20150329029 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat includes a pad configured to support a body of a seated occupant. The pad has a transverse air passage extending in a direction along a back surface of the pad and a plurality of longitudinal air passages each having one end connecting with the transverse air passage and the other end open to a front surface of the pad. The transverse air passage has a first transverse air passage connecting an air introduction hole from a fan or an air discharge hole to the fan and the longitudinal air passage directly with each other, and a second transverse air passage connecting the air introduction hole or the air discharge hole and the longitudinal air passage with each other via a resistant body having a resistance against an air flow. | 11-19-2015 |
