Abstract

In a vehicle seat pad 1 , a seating portion has a plurality of bottomless or bottomed holes 10 h , and in a horizontal projection plane, a ratio R 11 U of a total area of under-femoral-region holes in an upper surface of a femoral region-placed portion with respect to an entire area of the femoral region-placed portion, a ratio R 12 CU of a total area of under-hip holes in an upper surface of an under-hip center portion with respect to an entire area of the under-hip center portion, and a ratio R 12 SU of a total area of under-hip holes in upper surfaces of a pair of under-hip side portions with respect to entire areas of the pair of under-hip side portions satisfy R 11 U>R 12 CU>R 12 SU.

Claims (17)

1. A vehicle seat pad comprising:

a seating portion that is formed of a resin foam for supporting a seated person,

wherein when a portion of the seating portion on a front side beyond a first boundary position that is separated from a frontmost end position of the seating portion by a length of 45% of an entire length of the seating portion in a front-back direction is defined as a femoral region-placed portion while a portion on a back side beyond the first boundary position is defined as an under-hip portion, and

a portion of the under-hip portion on an inner side in a left-right direction beyond a pair of second boundary positions that are separated on outer sides in the left-right direction from a left-right direction center line of the seating portion by a length of 25% of an entire length of the under-hip portion in the left-right direction is defined as an under-hip center portion while portions on both the outer sides in the left-right direction beyond the pair of second boundary positions are defined as a pair of under-hip side portions,

the seating portion has a plurality of bottomless or bottomed holes opened in an upper surface of the seating portion,

the plurality of holes include one or a plurality of under-femoral-region holes provided in the femoral region-placed portion and one or a plurality of under-hip holes provided in the under-hip portion,

in a horizontal projection plane,

a ratio R 11 U of a total area of the under-femoral-region holes in the upper surface in the femoral region-placed portion with respect to an entire area of the femoral region-placed portion,

a ratio R 12 CU of a total area of the under-hip holes in the upper surface in the under-hip center portion with respect to an entire area of the under-hip center portion, and

a ratio R 12 SU of a total area of the under-hip holes in the upper surface in the pair of under-hip side portions with respect to an entire area of the pair of under-hip side portions satisfy

R11U>R12CU>R12SU, and

each of the areas of the under-femoral-region holes in the upper surface in the femoral region-placed portion is larger than each of the areas of the under-hip holes in the upper surface in the under-hip portion.

2. The vehicle seat pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the horizontal projection plane,

the ratio R 11 U is 5 to 25%,

the ratio R 12 CU is 2 to 23%, and

the ratio R 12 SU is 1 to 15%.
