| 20100176630 | SEAT-BACK FRAME AND VEHICLE SEAT - A seat-back frame of a seat-back comprises at least a pair of right and left side frames, a pressure receiving member disposed between the side frames, and wires for connecting the pressure receiving member to the side frames, respectively; wherein the wire is connected to the side frames through link members which are operable relative to the side frames, respectively, and wherein the link members are so configured that the wire is urged toward a forward side of the seat-back frame by tension springs. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100181810 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat has a mechanism for moving a headrest upon a rear-end collision, wherein the vehicle seat comprises a plate-like support body for receiving a load of a rearward movement of an occupant; a link mechanism for transmitting the load received by the plate-like support body to the headrest side, and comprising a lower link, an upper link, and a connecting link; and a load retaining member for blocking the load received by the plate-like support body from being transmitted to the link mechanism, until the load reaches a predetermined level; wherein the load retaining member is held by one of the lower link and the connecting link, and is configured to urge the lower link and the connecting link in a separating direction. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100181812 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat is provided in which a shock reducing member provides an optimum state both under a usual (normal) seating load and in a rear-end collision load, the sinking (moving) amount of the passenger's body to the vehicle rear at the time of rear-end collision can be increased, and a shock applied to a passenger at the time of rear-end collision can be reduced effectively, independently from a headrest. A vehicle seat includes a seat back frame, a headrest, a pressure receiving member connected to the seat back frame via wires, and a rotating member disposed at least on one side of side parts on both sides of the seat back frame. The rotating member is rotated by a predetermined impact load applied to the pressure receiving member, and comes into contact with the seat back frame, whereby the rotating is inhibited. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100187876 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat is provided where an urging element(s) is engaged with a shock reducing member in an optimum state under a normal seating load or in a rear-end collision, a number of parts can be reduced without using a separate member to mount the urging element(s), and at the same time, a high degree of design freedom is created. The seat comprises a seat back frame, a headrest, a pressure receiving member connected to the seat back frame via a connecting member to move independently from the headrest, a rotating member that is disposed on a side part on each side and is connected to the connecting member to rotate independently from the headrest, and a spring mounted to the rotating member and the seat back frame. At least one of mounting parts is formed integrally with the rotating member or the seat back frame. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100194157 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat comprises a seat frame comprising a lower frame connected to side frames, and a seating frame connected to the lower frame. A connecting structure is formed at a position remote from a rotate center as a connecting portion of an end side of the side frame to the lower frame; the connecting structure comprises an elongated hole formed in the applicable side frame and extending in an up-and-down direction, a convex portion formed on the lower frame, an energy absorbing plate, and a guide member for guiding the energy absorbing plate; and the convex portion and the elongated hole are configured to be relatively movable, while plastically deforming the energy absorbing plate which is supported in an abutting manner by a seating frame side of the convex portion and which is disposed in a clamped manner between the convex portion and the guide member. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100264704 | VEHICLE SEAT - There is provided a vehicle seat that includes a seat back frame having a pair of side frames disposed in a spaced manner in the right and left direction, a plate-like support body disposed between the pair of side frames to receive a load placed by the rearward movement of a passenger, a transmission section disposed on one side frame side to connect the plate-like support body to the headrest and transmit the load received by the plate-like support body to the headrest side, and an engagement section disposed on the other side frame side, engaging the plate-like support body with the other side frame, and not connected to the headrest. The load received by the plate-like support body is transmitted to the headrest side via the transmission section, thereby moving the headrest. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100270835 | VEHICLE SEAT - There is provided a vehicle seat that includes a seat back frame having a pair of side frames disposed in a spaced manner in the right and left direction, a plate-like support body disposed between the pair of side frames to receive a load placed by the rearward movement of a passenger, a transmission section connecting the plate-like support body to a headrest via a link mechanism, and a holding member disposed in the link mechanism. The holding member is disposed at a position separating from a rotating shaft of a lower link by a predetermined distance to connect the lower link to the side frame, and keeps the distance between the lower link and the side frame at a predetermined value. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110193379 | SEAT FRAME AND VEHICLE SEAT - A seat back frame and associated vehicle seat are provided for effectively reducing an input load applied onto a reclining mechanism at the time of rear surface collision, the frame and seat having an energy absorbing member fixed to a coupling portion of a lower frame for coupling left and right side frames on the lower side. Since the energy absorbing member is plastically deformable by pressing from the backrest front surface side, the energy absorbing member absorbs shock energy at the time of the rear surface collision to reduce an input load imposed onto a reclining mechanism. | 08-11-2011 |
