Vehicle seat
Certain embodiments of the present invention include a vehicle seat having a seat component member, for example a seat cushion or a seat back. The seat component member has a pad forming a seat contour, a cover covering the pad and a mounting portion. At the mounting portion, a part of the cover is mounted to the pad by pulling the part of the cover to the pad. The mounting portion has a first portion for receiving pressure when an occupant seats on the vehicle seat, and a second portion for receiving a pressure lower than that the first portion receives. The mounting portion may have a structure in which the first portion is more flexible than the second portion.
1. A vehicle seat comprising:
a seat component member comprising:
a pad forming a seat contour;
a cover covering the pad; and
a mounting portion that extends in a seat width direction where a part of the cover is mounted to the pad in a pulled state, the mounting portion including:
a stationary member provided in the pad;
a suspension member provided on the cover and attached to the stationary member;
a first portion for receiving a first amount of pressure when an occupant sits on the vehicle seat; and
a second portion for receiving a second amount of pressure, the second amount of pressure being lower than the first amount of pressure, wherein
the first portion is positioned at a middle of the seat component member,
the second portion is positioned at right and left sides of the first portion such that the first portion defines a division portion in the second portion,
the stationary member extends along the second portion toward the division portion and is divided at the division portion, and
the mounting portion is configured so that the first portion is more flexible than the second portion at the division portion.
2. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein
the seat component member is a seat back for supporting a back of the occupant.
3. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein
the pad comprises a first pad at the first portion, and a second pad at the second portion, and wherein
the second pad comprises the stationary member so that the first pad is more flexible than the second pad.
4. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein
the cover comprises a first cover at the first portion, and a second cover at the second portion, and wherein
the second cover comprises the suspension member so that the first cover is more flexible than the second cover.
5. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , further comprising:
a main portion; and
a side portion situated on a side of the main portion, wherein
the first portion and the second portion of the mounting portion are provided in the main portion.
6. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the suspension member extends along the second portion toward the division portion and is divided at the division portion.
7. The vehicle seat of claim 6 , wherein the suspension member is divided in half at the division portion.
8. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the stationary member is divided in half at the division portion.
