Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention may include a vehicle seat apparatus of a vehicle seat. The vehicle seat apparatus may have a seat pad, a plate member connected to the seat pad, and a linear member mounted to the plate member.

Claims (28)

1. A vehicle seat apparatus comprising:

a seat pad;

a plate member connected to the seat pad;

a linear member mounted to the plate member;

a planar member provided on the seat pad such that the planar member is connected to the plate member; and

a clip for mounting the linear member to the plate member,

the clip comprising:

a binding portion configured to bundle the linear member; and

a connection portion configured to be inserted into a mounting portion of the plate member in order to be connected to the plate member, wherein

the mounting portion of the plate member is provided outside of the seat pad,

the plate member is connected to the planar member so that the planar member supports the plate member in a cantilever-like fashion,

the planar member covers the seat pad,

the plate member is connected to the planar member at a side opposite to the seat pad such that the plate member covers the planar member, and

the plate member has a base portion connected to the planar member and a tip portion, and the base portion is configured as a fulcrum such that the tip portion of the plate member is configured to be capable of moving away from the planar member.

2. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the planar member is provided under the seat pad, and

the plate member extends substantially parallel to the planar member.

3. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the plate member is connected to the planar member such that the plate member contacts the planar member when the linear member is detached from the plate member.

4. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection portion of the clip is provided between the planar member and the plate member such that the plate member is spaced from the planar member.

5. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base portion is a rear portion of the plate member that is attached to the planar member so that the planar member supports the plate member in the cantilever-like fashion.

6. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the rear portion of the plate member is the fulcrum that allows the tip end of the plate member to pivot toward and away from the planar member in the cantilever-like fashion.

7. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the rear portion and the tip end are provided on opposite sides of the plate member.

8. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the tip end of the plate member is deflectable from the planar member in the cantilever-like fashion.

9. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the tip end of the plate member is in a free state so as to be deflectable from the planar member in the cantilever-like fashion.

10. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plate member is connected to the planar member such that the plate member is deflectable from the seat pad.

11. The vehicle seat apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the tip portion is configured to be capable of moving away from the planar member by deflection of the plate member while the base portion is the fulcrum, and

the clip is mounted on the tip portion of the plate member.
