| 20090051206 | VEHICLE SEAT AND VEHICLE SEAT EVALUATION METHOD - A vehicle seat allowing to improve a vibration absorption characteristic, securing a stable seating posture, having high vehicle operability, and allowing to alleviate fatigue due to long time seating. In a seat cushion of a vehicle seat, a first human body support portion having a center at a position corresponding to a substantially center between the pair of ischial tuberosities of a human body, and a second human body support portion corresponding to the vicinities of femoral bases of a human body and having a center at a position located forward at a horizontal distance of 100 mm along a longitudinally center line of the seat cushion from the first human body support portion are regarded respectively as spring elements, and static spring constants and dynamic spring constants thereof are set to a predetermined relationship. Thus, stability and vibration absorbency during static seating are improved. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090102269 | DROP-IN SEAT UNIT - The present invention provides for a drop-in seat unit as well as a method of manufacturing the drop-in seat unit that does not require the worker to affix one end of the spring to a frame rail and stretch the spring from one of the frame rails to the other frame rail. The ends of the spring are affixed to the frame rails while the springs are in an un-stretched state. Once the plurality of springs is attached to the two frame rails, the rails are mechanically pulled away from each other, thus created a larger open area between the frame rails and thus extending the springs. Once the rails are properly positioned in this extended state, support members are positioned between the two frame rails and one end of each support member is affixed to each frame rail, traversing the space or gap between the two frame rails. The support members fix the distance between the two frame rails. Once the springs are attached to the two frame rails and the support members are affixed to the two frame rails, the completed drop-in seat unit or seat box assembly is unclamped and released from the manufacturing apparatus and is ready for shipment or use in further construction of the sofa or chair. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20130278041 | VEHICLE SEAT CUSHION - A vehicle seat cushion is provided with: a cushion body that makes contact with the body of a vehicle occupant; and a plurality of spring bodies that are suspended on a seat frame so as to extend in the fore-and-aft direction of the seat. The plurality of spring bodies include inner region spring bodies that are placed underneath the hipbone of the vehicle occupant, and outer region spring bodies that are placed on the outer sides of the inner region spring bodies in the transverse direction of the seat. Moreover, if a cross-section of the seat extending in the fore-and-aft direction is viewed, then at least the inner region spring body portion that is located on the front side of the bottommost end portion of the hipbone of the vehicle occupant is seen to be positioned lower than the outer region spring bodies. | 10-24-2013 |
| 20140049090 | VEHICLE SEAT AND SEAT BACK BOARD - A vehicle seat and a seat back board are obtained in which a seat cover can easily be anchored to a resin spring. In a seat back board, clips attached on a cover side are engaged with vertical clip engagement portions of the seat back board, thereby enabling the cover to be anchored to a back spring section of the seat back board. An anchoring operation of the cover to the back spring section can accordingly be made easier than in conventional anchoring structures employing for example hog rings. Moreover, since only pairs of openings are formed to the back spring section of the seat back board in order to provide the vertical clip engagement portions, any detriment to the moldability of the back spring section can be avoided. | 02-20-2014 |
| 20140354030 | VEHICLE SEAT AND METHOD FOR CUSHIONING TWO SPRING PARTS WHICH ARE MOVABLE RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER - The invention relates to a vehicle seat having a seat part extending in the vehicle lengthwise direction (X) and in the vehicle width direction (Y) and having a backrest part and a seat substructure for cushioning and/or damping at least the seat part with respect to a body of a vehicle , in which the seat substructure comprises at least one horizontal spring device having a first spring part , another spring part which is movable relative thereto and a deformable fluid spring element for cushioning the seat part with respect to the body in the vehicle lengthwise direction (X) and/or in the vehicle width direction (Y), the deformable fluid spring element being arranged with a first connecting region to the first spring part and another connecting region to the other spring part , wherein the deformable fluid spring element is arranged between the two spring parts so as to be deformed solely by these two spring parts upon relative movement of the two spring parts relative to each other. | 12-04-2014 |
| 20160144756 | SEAT CUSHION - The object of the present invention is to provide a seat cushion for vehicles which is excellent in recyclability, fitting feeling and cushioning properties when an occupant is seated. | 05-26-2016 |
