Abstract

A base material for a seatback side includes a body portion including a protruding portion. The protruding portion has a plate piece surface of a distal end extending from the body portion outwardly relative to an outer portion provided on an outer side in a vehicle width direction. The plate piece surface is placed side by side with a flange surface of a flange portion projecting in a peripheral portion of the body. The distal end is sandwiched by a weather strip together with the flange portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A base material for a seatback side fixed to a body and disposed on an outer side in a vehicle width direction relative to an upright seatback of a rear seat, the base material comprising:
a body portion including a protruding portion, wherein:
the protruding portion has a plate piece surface of a distal end extending from the body portion outwardly relative to an outer portion provided on an outer side of the body portion in the vehicle width direction;
the plate piece surface is placed side by side with a flange surface of a flange portion projecting in a peripheral portion of the body; and
the distal end is sandwiched by a weather strip together with the flange portion.

2. The base material according to claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of protruding portions is placed along a side edge of the outer portion so as to be distanced from each other.

3. The base material according to claim 1 , wherein:
the protruding portion is placed along a side edge of the outer portion; and
the protruding portion is formed in a rib shape in which a length along the side edge of the outer portion is longer than a length projecting outwardly from the outer portion.

4. The base material according to claim 1 , wherein
the body portion has an air-bag storage recess that is recessed from an outer surface side toward an inner surface side.

5. A seatback side disposed on an outer side in a vehicle width direction relative to an upright seatback of a rear seat, the seatback side comprising:
a base material fixed to a body and including a protruding portion extending from a body portion of the base material outwardly relative to an outer portion provided on an outer side of the body portion in the vehicle width direction;
a pad covering an outer surface of the base material; and
a skin covering an outer surface of the pad, wherein:
a plate piece surface of a distal end of the protruding portion is placed side by side with a flange surface of a flange portion projecting in a peripheral portion of the body; and
the distal end is sandwiched by a weather strip together with the flange portion.

6. The seatback side according to claim 5 , wherein:
a plurality of protruding portions is placed along a side edge of the outer portion so as to be distanced from each other.

7. The seatback side according to claim 5 , wherein:
the body portion has an air-bag storage recess that is recessed from an outer surface side toward an inner surface side.
