摘要： A seated-state detection sensor is disposed in a seat portion of a seat cushion of a passenger seat. The seated-state detection sensor is divided into three parts, that is, a first seated-state detection sensor, a second seated-state detection sensor and a third seated-state detection sensor, which are arranged in this order from the rear side of the vehicle. The first seated-state detection sensor and the second seated-state detection sensor are designed to determine whether or not there is a passenger seated. The second seated-state detection sensor and the third seated-state detection sensor are designed to detect forward displacement of the passenger.

摘要： A side airbag is housed together with an inflator containing a high pressure gas as a module in a door-side side portion of a seat. The side airbag is deployed into a space between the door and an occupant sitting in the seat, on the basis of an instruction signal from an airbag control device. An occupant sensor is disposed at a position that is located in an upper portion of a seatback of the seat and shifted from a center of the seatback with respect to directions of a width thereof toward a vehicle body center. By using the occupant sensor, it is determined whether an occupant is present at a seat of a vehicle, excluding a case where an occupant having a constitution smaller than a predetermined constitution is leaning against the side vehicle body portion. The airbag control device permits operation of the side airbag if presence of an occupant is detected by the occupant sensor. The control device prohibits operation of the side airbag if absence of an occupant is detected by the occupant sensor.

摘要： A seating load detecting device in which a lower arm for supporting a seat cushion and a seat back is coupled with an upper rail by a front bracket and a rear bracket. A distortion gage is attached to the bracket. The bracket comprises a curved portion of a U-shape or V-shape. The lower arm and the upper rail are coupled to each other with the direction orthogonal to two opposing legs of the curved portion being vertical. The distortion gage has a total of four distortion detecting elements G11 to G22 distributed in a matrix distribution, two attached in the front and back directional plane of the legs and two attached in the width directional plane of the legs. Due to the Wheatstone bridge connection line of these elements, high gain of a seating load detection voltage e with respect to the amount in change of the vertical load Fv can be obtained.

摘要： A sensor attaching portion of an upper rail and a sensor attaching portion of a cushion frame are provided with a sensor attaching plate having a sensor disposed thereon. The upper rail and the seat cushion frame are connected with a bracket at a position facing the sensor attaching plate. When the passenger sits on the seat, the seat cushion frame moves down and a bent portion of the bracket is pressed and deformed downwards. At this time, the center in the vertical direction of the sensor attaching plate is bent outward in the lateral direction of the seat. The sensor serves to detect the generated deformation.

摘要： A child seat (CRS) laid on a seat cushion of a front passenger seat is provided with a pair of left and right fixture attachments, which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the direction of the width of the child seat. The fixture attachments extend rearwards from the child seat. Each of these fixture attachments is provided with a lock bar, which can be detachably coupled to a fixture bar hanging across rear portions of left and right seat cushion frames. Furthermore, there is provided a child seat detector that detects whether or not the child seat has been mounted based on movements of the lock bars resulting from coupling of the fixture attachments to the fixture bar.

摘要： With a vehicle seat arranging structure, a second-row passenger-side seat may be placed in a rearward slide position by sliding the second-row passenger-side seat toward the rear of a vehicle by 150 millimeters so that the second-row passenger-side seat is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second-row driver-side seat. In addition, each of the second-row driver-side seat and the second-row passenger-side seat may be placed in an obliquely-inward frontward-oriented position by swiveling each of the second-row driver-side seat and the second-row passenger-side seat from the frontward-oriented position 10 degrees inward in the vehicle-width direction. In this way, the sense of distance between the occupants seated in the second-row driver-side seat and the second-row passenger-side seat is reduced. As a result, it is possible to promote communication between these occupants (to make it easier for these occupants to communicate with each other).

摘要： A vehicle seat is taught that preferably include a seat cushion (10), a seat back (20) rotatably connected to the seat cushion via a reclining mechanism (30), front (40) and rear (46) legs removably connecting the seat cushion to a vehicle floor (66), a retracting link (50), an operating member capable of removing the front and rear legs from the floor, and a coupling link (54). The seat back can be rotated forwardly by unlocking the reclining mechanism, so as to be superimposed on the seat cushion. When the front and rear legs are removed from the floor, the seat can be moved from a use condition to a retracted condition depending on the motion of the retracting link. When the seat is moved from the use condition to the retracted condition, the coupling link rotates the front leg based on a displacement of the retracting link, thereby unlocking the reclining mechanism

摘要： In an automobile having a seat cushion supporting the hip, and a seat back supporting the back, of a seated person wherein the seat back in its use position with the seat cushion folded thereon is lifted up to its non-use position in an upper part of the cabin, the seat back when moved from the use position to the non-use position is prevented from interfering with a seat disposed in its front. There is a guide means for guiding the seat back 12 so that it moves rearwards gradually when it is moved from the use position to the non-use position.
