Abstract:
A vehicle seat includes a load sensor for measuring a load applied from an occupant and a seat cushion frame, wherein the seat cushion frame comprises right and left side frames extending in a front-and-rear direction, the load sensor is attached to the seat cushion frame, and a concave portion is formed in at least one of the right and left side frames at a position opposite to the load sensor.
Abstract:
The submarine phenomenon can be prevented and the accuracy of a passenger's weight measurement is improved. A vehicle seat includes a pair of fixed lower rails fixed on the floor of a passenger compartment, a pair of movable upper rails that are engaged with the fixed lower rails so as to be slidable in a front-and-rear direction with respect to each of the fixed lower rails, a sub frame which is disposed at an upper side of the movable upper rails, load sensors and that lie between the sub frame and the movable upper rails, brackets and which are disposed so as to erect them on each of the movable upper rails, and a submarine pipe 11 which is crossed between the brackets. The submarine pipe is disposed to be slidable in a left-and-right direction with respect to the right bracket.
Abstract:
A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom and a seat back. The seat bottom includes a forward section and a rear section. The seat back is pivotably mounted about the seat bottom. The seat back is positionable in a reclined position and a folded position. The pivotable link system characteristically positions the forward section of the seat bottom in a lowered position and one or more raised positions.
Abstract:
The submarine phenomenon can be prevented and the accuracy of a passenger's weight measurement is improved.A vehicle seat 1 comprises a pair of fixed lower rails 3 fixed on the floor of a passenger compartment, a pair of movable upper rails 4 which are engaged with the fixed lower rails 3 so as to be slidable in a front-and-rear direction with respect to each of the fixed lower rails 3, a sub frame 110 which is disposed at an upper side of the movable upper rails 4, load sensors 50, 60, 70, and 80 which lie between the sub frame 110 and the movable upper rails 4, brackets 8 and 9 which are disposed so as to erect them on each of the movable upper rails 4, and a submarine pipe 11 which is crossed between the brackets 8 and 9. The submarine pipe 11 is disposed to be slidable in a left-and-right direction with respect to the right bracket 9.
Abstract:
To realizes an easy maintenance of the load sensor. A passenger's weight measurement device 1 comprises a left and right pair of fixed lower rails 3 which are fixed on the vehicle floor, a left and right pair of movable upper rails 4 which are disposed to move in a front-and-rear direction on the fixed lower rail 3, load sensors 50 and 60 which are fixed to an upper surface of the right movable upper rail 4, load sensors 70 and 80 which are disposed on the movable upper rail 4 to be movable in a left-and-right direction with respect to the right movable upper rail 4, a sub frame 110 which is mounted on the load sensors 50, 60, 70, and 80, side frames 141 and 142 which are welded to the sub frame 110, and a pan frame 143 which is detachably disposed to the side frames 141 and 142 to cover the front of the side frames 141 and 142. A gouged section 151 is formed on the side frame 141.
Abstract:
A seat assembly includes an active material in operative communication with a seat surface configured to undergo a change in at least one property upon receipt of an activation signal, wherein the change in at least one property is effective to change at least one feature of the seat surface.
Abstract:
A forward slippage preventive structure of seat cushion with lifter device, wherein a horizontal bar element, adapted for preventing forward buttocks slippage of seat occupant, is connected with two link members of the lifter device. A reinforcing flange element is formed in either of forward and backward ends of each of two link members in a direction inwardly of a seat cushion frame. Basically, one end portion of the horizontal bar element is connected integrally with such reinforcing flange element and one of the two link members, such that a truss structure is established thereamong. Based thereon, both end portions of the horizontal bar element are connected between two reinforcing flange elements.
Abstract:
A die-cast seat cushion frame for vehicle seat, which has connecting portions defined integrally in its two lateral frame portions, the connecting portions being adapted for connection with a slide rail device, wherein a cross beam portion is so extended between the two lateral frame portions that two ends of the cross beam portion are integrally connected with the two lateral frame portions, respectively, at points corresponding to the connecting portions. This provision of cross beam portion not only renders the seat cushion frame much robust and light in weight, but also serves to receive a seat occupant's buttocks portion against its undesired forward sliding or slippage on a seat cushion in a sudden deceleration or collision case.
Abstract:
A passenger seat includes a frame element molded from relatively high density foam and, optionally, one or more pelvic support elements. The frame element and pelvic support elements are molded into a seat body of relatively lower density foam to which a trim cover is applied. In one embodiment, the frame element and the pelvic support elements are integrally molded and a vehicle anchorage means in embedded into the integral element and in a second embodiment the vehicle anchorage means is embedded in the frame element which may be molded separately from the pelvic support element to which it is connected prior to molding of the foam body.
Abstract:
A vehicle seat having a subdivided adjustable seat bottom portion is disclosed. The seat bottom includes front and rear upholstery sections, the former of which is longitudinally adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the seat. A form-fitting notch and detent mechanism is provided for securely and selectably locating the front upholstery section relative to the rear section.
