Abstract

A sensor disposition structure in a seat includes a cushion pad and a board-like member which is disposed under the cushion pad. A concave is formed in an upper surface of the board-like member, and a sensor is disposed in the concave.

Claims (38)

1. A sensor disposition structure in a seat, comprising:

a cushion pad; and

a board member disposed under the cushion pad, wherein:

a concave is formed in an upper surface of the board member,

a sensor is disposed in the concave in a state of being fixed to an attachment bracket,

the attachment bracket is attached in the concave in a state of being engaged with an engaging unit formed in the concave, and

a nail unit which is formed in a nail shape is formed on an upper surface of the concave as the engaging unit, the nail unit protruding from the upper surface of the concave.

2. The sensor disposition structure in the seat of claim 1 , wherein a second engaging unit is formed on the upper surface of the concave at a position near the nail unit.

3. The sensor disposition structure in the seat of claim 1 , wherein the concave in which the sensor is disposed is formed at a position avoiding a position right under a hollow section formed in the cushion pad.

4. A sensor disposition structure in a seat, comprising:

a cushion pad; and

a board member disposed under the cushion pad, wherein:

a concave is formed in an upper surface of the board member,

a sensor is disposed in the concave in a state of being fixed to an attachment bracket, and

the attachment bracket is attached in the concave by a bracket-side engaging unit engaging with an under surface of the board member and by the attachment bracket engaging with a nail unit which is formed on an upper surface of the concave so as to protrude therefrom.

5. A sensor disposition structure in a seat, comprising:

a cushion pad; and

a board member disposed under the cushion pad, wherein:

a concave is formed in an upper surface of the board member,

a sensor is disposed in the concave in a state of being fixed to an attachment bracket,

the attachment bracket includes a cutout at an outer circumference section thereof, and

the cutout is formed at a postition corresponding to a section that is raised due to a wire being inserted in the board member.

6. A sensor disposition structure in a seat, comprising:

a cushion pad; and

a board member disposed under the cushion pad, wherein:

a concave is formed in an upper surface of the board member,

a sensor is disposed in the concave,

an opening is formed in the board member continuously from the concave, and

a harness which electrically connects the sensor and an external device is inserted in the opening.

7. The sensor disposition structure in the seat of claim 6 , wherein a duct for supplying air to an air passage which is formed in the cushion pad is inserted in the opening.

8. The sensor disposition structure in the seat of claim 7 , wherein a plurality of openings are formed in the board member, and the harness is inserted in an opening in which the duct is not inserted.

9. A sensor disposition structure in a seat, comprising:

a cushion pad; and

a board member disposed under the cushion pad, wherein:

a concave is formed in an upper surface of the board member,

a sensor is disposed in the concave in a state of being fixed to an attachment bracket,

the attachment bracket includes a guide unit for a harness which electrically connects the sensor and an external device, and

the guide unit inclines downward.
