Abstract

A vehicle seat includes: a first frame member that forms a framework of the vehicle seat and extends in a seat vertical direction or in a seat front-and-rear direction; a second frame member that extends in a seat width direction; and a component mounting bracket that allows to mount a component and is provided in an inside-seat corner portion of a connecting part of the first frame member and the second frame member, wherein the first frame member or the second frame member has a hole into which a portion of the component is inserted when the component is mounted in the component mounting bracket.

Claims (29)

1. A vehicle seat comprising:

a first frame member that extends in at least one of a seat vertical direction or in a seat front-and-rear direction;

a second frame member that extends in a seat width direction; and

a component mounting bracket that is attached to an inside-seat corner portion of a connecting part of the first frame member and the second frame member such that the component mounting bracket is spaced rearward of front surfaces of the first frame member and the second frame member in the seat front-and-rear direction, the component mounting bracket being configured to allow a component to be mounted to the component mounting bracket,

wherein at least one of the first frame member or the second frame member has a hole into which a portion of the component is inserted when the component is mounted to the component mounting bracket.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least one of the first frame member and the second frame member is a tubular member in which a lateral section is a closed section.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first frame member and the second frame member are members of a seat back frame,

wherein the connecting part is positioned at an upper portion of the seat back frame, and

wherein the hole is provided in the first frame member.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 3 ,

wherein the component is a retractor of a seat belt device.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hole is defined in a side surface of the first frame member.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hole is opened in an inner seat direction such that when the component is mounted to the component mounting bracket, the portion of the component is inserted into the hole in the seat width direction.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 3 ,

wherein the component mounting bracket includes:

a first abutting part defined in a side end of the component mounting bracket that is formed in a shape corresponding to a side surface of the first frame member; and

a second abutting part defined in an upper end of the component mounting bracket that is formed in a shape corresponding to a lower surface of the second frame member.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 4 ,

wherein the portion of the component inserted in the hole, when the component is mounted in the component mounting bracket, is a corner portion of the component.

9. A vehicle seat comprising:

a first frame member that extends in at least one of a seat vertical direction or in a seat front-and-rear direction;

a second frame member that extends in a seat width direction;

a component mounting bracket that is attached to an inside-seat corner portion of a connecting part of the first frame member and the second frame member such that the component mounting bracket is spaced rearward of front surfaces of the first frame member and the second frame member in the seat front-and-rear direction; and

a component that is mounted to the component mounting bracket,

wherein at least one of the first frame member or the second frame member has a hole into which a portion of the component is inserted when the component is mounted in the component mounting bracket.
