Provided is a vehicle seat in which a retractor (200) is built into a space under an upper cross member (120) constituting a seatback frame (100) and headrest poles (300) vertically penetrate the retractor (200), such that slimness of a seatback (20) can be promoted.
Disclosed is an occupant protection device that contributes to an increase in waist restraint capability for an occupant. This occupant protection device (30) comprises: a push-up member (40) that can turn to push up a seating surface (26) of a seat cushion (2); and a drive device (50) that applies a force for the push-up member (40) to turn at the time of a vehicle emergency. The push-up member (40) has a front part (42) on a front side of a turn center (41) in the front–rear direction of a vehicle seat (100). The drive device (50) is disposed below the front part (42) of the push-up member (40) in a portion between the front part (42) and the turn center (41) of the push-up member (40) and applies the force to the front part (42) of the push-up member (40).

[Problem] To maintain a stored form and smoothly expand and deploy an air bag cushion by using a simple and inexpensive configuration. [Solution] A curtain airbag device 100 comprises: a mini-wrapper 138 and a deployment auxiliary cloth 152 wound around an airbag cushion 102 in a stored form; a connection part 168 for connecting the mini-wrapper 138 and the deployment auxiliary cloth 152 to the airbag cushion 102; and a cover member 136 for covering the airbag cushion 102 in the stored form. The dimension L1 from the connection part 168 to another side 172b of a first region 172 of the deployment auxiliary cloth 152 falls within a range H1 from the connection part 168 of the mini-wrapper 138 to an opening 140. In a second region 174, the dimension L2 from the connection part 168 to another side 174b is larger than that of the first region 172. The deployment auxiliary cloth 152 is arranged such that the second region 174 overlaps an end part 176 of the cover member 136.

Disclosed is an occupant protection device that contributes to improved occupant-lumbar restraint performance. An occupant protection device (30) is provided with: a push-up member (40) that can rotate so as to push up a seat surface (26) of a seat cushion (2); and a drive device (50) that applies a force with which the push-up member (40) rotates in the event of a vehicle emergency. The push-up member (40) has a front part (42) on the front side in the front-rear direction of a vehicle seat (100) relative to a rotation center (41). The drive device (50) is disposed below the front part (42) of the push-up member (40), between the front part (42) of the push-up member (40) and the rotation center (41), and applies the force to the front part (42) of the push-up member (40).

A steering wheel (100), comprising: a framework (10), the framework being circular; a foam (20) wrapping the surface of the framework, the foam being provided with foam channels (21); and electric conductors (30), the electric conductors being fixed in the foam channels, the depth of the foam channels being larger than the diameter of the electric conductors, the electric conductors being used for heating and hand-off detection, and the foam channels being circular grooves extending in the circumferential direction of the framework or spiral grooves wound on the framework.
The present invention relates to a vehicle seat. The vehicle seat comprises: a seat cushion part, a backrest part capable of rotating relative to the seat cushion part, and a seat belt arranged on the vehicle seat, wherein the seat belt comprises a webbing and a lock tongue arranged on the webbing, a first end of the webbing being fixed to the seat cushion part via a first retractor, a second end of the webbing being fixed to the backrest part via a second retractor, and the lock tongue being limited at a predetermined position on the webbing; and a limiting module, comprising a first limiting member and a second limiting member which interact with one another, wherein the first limiting member is fixed to a side face of the seat cushion part and is provided with a first abutting part, and the second limiting member is fixed to a side face of the backrest part and is provided with a second abutting part. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the backrest part rotates relative to the seat cushion part in a first rotation direction from a first angle to a second angle smaller than the first angle, thus driving the second limiting member to rotate relative to the first limiting member in the first rotation direction, such that the first abutting part and the second abutting part gradually move closer to one another and finally abut against one another, so as to limit the backrest part at the second angle.
The invention relates to a seat-belt strap (10) for a seat-belt system of a motor vehicle, the seat-belt strap comprising a woven fabric (11) consisting of warp threads (12) and weft threads (13). The seat-belt strap (10) has, at least in some portions, a 3/3 twill weave with an off-set of two warp threads (12) with each weft thread (13).
