Abstract

A vehicle seat including: a seat frame forming a framework of the vehicle seat; and a wire connected to the seat frame and to which an axial force in an axial direction thereof is configured to be applied, wherein a bent portion or a diameter-enlarged portion is provided to at least one end portion of the wire, wherein a flat part of the seat frame is provided with a locking portion into which the bent portion or the diameter-enlarged portion is inserted and which is configured to receive the axial force in an in-plane direction, and wherein a separation preventing member is attached to the flat part and prevents the wire from being separated from the flat part in a state where the bent portion or the diameter-enlarged portion is inserted into the locking portion.

Claims (30)

1. A vehicle seat comprising:

a seat frame including a flat part in which a locking portion is provided;

a wire connected to the seat frame and to which an axial force in an axial direction thereof is configured to be applied; and

a separation preventing member that is attached to the flat part, wherein

at least one of a bent portion and a diameter-enlarged portion is provided to at least one end portion of the wire,

the at least one of the bent portion and the diameter-enlarged portion is inserted into the locking portion such that the flat part of the seat frame is configured to receive the axial force transmitted from the wire in an in-plane direction of the flat part, and

the separation preventing member presses the wire against the flat part of the seat frame so as to prevent the wire from being separated from the flat part in a state where the at least one of the bent portion and the diameter-enlarged portion is inserted into the locking portion.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein

the separation preventing member is a plate member which covers the wire, and both ends of the separation preventing member are connected to the flat part.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein

the flat part has a hole, and

one end portion of the separation preventing member is inserted into and locked to the hole, and another end portion of the separation preventing member is fastened to the flat part by a fastening member.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein

the flat part has a second hole,

the another end portion of the separation moving member has a hole, and

the fastening member is a rivet which is inserted into the second hole of the flat part and the hole of the separation preventing member so as to fasten the another end portion of the separation preventing member to the flat part.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein

the separation preventing member includes a ridge portion in line and in contact with the wire along a circumferential direction of the wire to cover the wire.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein

the separation preventing member is provided with a pressing part which is in contact with the wire when the separation preventing member is attached to the flat part with the wire interposed therebetween and which presses the at least one of the bent portion and the diameter-enlarged portion of the wire against the locking portion of the flat part in the axial direction of the axial force.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the wire is a pad support wire which supports a cushion pad serving as a cushion material of the vehicle seat, and the flat part is a panel member.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the locking portion is a through hole, and the at least one of the bent portion and the diameter-enlarged portion penetrates through the through hole.

9. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one of the bent portion and the diameter-enlarged portion extends in a direction intersecting the flat part of the seat frame.

10. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein one end portion of the separating preventing member is connected to a first portion of the flat part of the seat frame,

wherein another end portion of the separating preventing member opposite to the one end portion is connected to a second portion of the flat part of the seat frame, and

wherein the locking portion is provided between the first portion and the second portion.
