In a vehicle seat, a side frame of a seat back frame has a front wall that is formed so as to be bent inward continuously from a front edge of a plate-shaped portion and forms a curved region extending vertically from around the rotating shaft and reaching an upper frame, and a rear wall that is formed so as to be bent inward continuously from a rear edge of the plate-shaped portion and forms a curved region extending vertically from around the rotating shaft and reaching the upper frame, and an inner edge of the front wall has a projecting piece that spreads to the inside from a virtual outline corresponding to a shape of the upper frame and is superimposed on the front wall of the upper frame from the rear. This provides a vehicle seat that can contribute to improvement of the work efficiency when assembling a seat back frame.

Abstract

[Problem] In a vehicle seat that includes a rotation device, to more reliably prevent the lifting up of a seat cushion in both front collision and rear collision. [Solution] A vehicle seat 1 includes a seat body 5; a slide device 7; and a rotation device 6. The slide device includes a pair of left and right lower rails 17 joined to a floor; and an upper rail 18 slidably joined to each of the lower rails. The rotation device includes a shaft member 37 that rotatably connects the slide device to the seat body and that constitutes a rotation shaft, and a separation prevention mechanism 75 that restricts the seat body from moving upward with respect to the slide device. The shaft member connects one of the left and right upper rails to the seat body. The separation prevention mechanism includes a pair of one-side separation prevention parts disposed to the front and the rear of the shaft member. The one-side separation prevention parts 75R each prevent separation of the seat body from one of the left and right upper rails.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat that is provided with a slide rail device capable of improving the rigidity of a separation suppression member, and more effectively suppressing the separation of a movable rail and a fixed rail. A vehicle seat (S) is provided with a seat cushion (1) and a slide rail device (60) disposed below the seat cushion (1). The slide rail device (60) has: a lower rail (61) that is fixed to a vehicle; an upper rail (62) that can move along a direction in which the lower rail (61) extends; and a separation suppression member (63) that suppresses the separation of the lower rail (61) and the upper rail (62) from each other. The separation suppression member (63) has a separation suppression bracket (631) that is connected to the upper rail (62) and, when the upper rail (62) receives an upward impact load, abuts on the lower rail (61) to suppress the separation of the lower rail (61) and the upper rail (62) from each other. The separation suppression bracket (631) has a recessed portion (6311a) that suppresses deformation of the separation suppression bracket (631).

Abstract

A seat system includes a seat including a sensor configured to acquire information for detection of a motion of an occupant seated on a seat body, a terminal device configured to acquire the information from the sensor, and a server capable of communicating with the terminal device. The terminal device executes a game using the sensor based on the information, and acquires an execution result corresponding to the occupant for a game played by the occupant. The server generates integrated data by integrating execution results of the game acquired from another terminal device, and computes a reference value for execution results of the game based on the integrated data. The terminal device or the server assigns a difficulty level of the game for the terminal device based on the execution result corresponding to the occupant and the reference value. The terminal device reflects the difficulty level on the game.

Abstract

[Problem] To suppress tilting of a rotation part in a vehicle seat device that comprises a rotation device. [Solution] A vehicle seat (1) comprises: a seat body (3) that comprises a seat cushion (7); and a rotation device (2) that is disposed between a floor (5) and the seat cushion and supports the seat cushion in a rotatable manner about an axis of rotation (A) that extends in the vertical direction. The rotation device comprises a base part (41) and a rotation part (42) that is supported on the base part in a rotatable manner about the axis of rotation. Between an outer peripheral section of the base part and an outer peripheral section of the rotation part, provided are: a plurality of spacer sections (171) that keep the rotation part from approaching the base part; and a plurality of biasing sections (172) that bias the rotation part toward the base part. The plurality of spacer sections and the plurality of biasing sections are disposed on a virtual circle (C) centered on the axis of rotation.

Abstract

A vehicle interior device 1 that is provided inside a vehicle includes a humidity power generation element that generates electric power via changes in humidity. In prior-art power generation schemes, it has been easy to cause restrictions on the installation location and versatility has been low, but the humidity power generation element does not have any restrictions on the installation location as long as there are humidity changes, and has high versatility. In addition, changes in humidity occur spontaneously and have no other uses, and energy can therefore be saved by effectively utilizing unnecessary energy. Humidity increases and decreases as passengers enter and exit the vehicle; therefore, the humidity power generation element can efficiently generate power in particular.
