The vehicle seat (100) comprises a cover part (29) including a cover member (24) having a folded portion (24b) in the X direction at a position where it is overlapped with a hole part (21a) formed in a seat back (2), and a cover member (25) having a folded portion (25b) folded in the X direction at a position where it is overlapped with the hole part (21a). The cover part (29) includes two sewn parts (26, 27) for fixing the overlapped portion of the cover members (24, 25) in two locations in the Y direction, while no sewn part exists in such section of the overlapped portion as intervenes between the sewn parts (26, 27).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat, comprising: a seat back; a seat cushion; a hole part formed in the seat back or in the seat cushion; a fixing member, disposed in the hole part, configured to fix a child seat; and a cover part including: a first cover member having a first folded portion folded at a position overlapped with the hole part; and a second cover member having a second folded portion folded at a position overlapped with the hole part, the first folded portion and the second folded portion being overlapped with each other, at a position overlapped with the hole part, to cover the hole part as a whole, wherein: the cover part includes: a first fixing portion configured to fix the overlapped portion of the first cover member and the second cover member at a first location; and a second fixing portion configured to fix the overlapped portion of the first cover member and the second cover member at a second location spaced apart from the first location in a direction along the folded line of the first cover member; a non-folded portion of the first cover member and the first folded portion, in such sections of the overlapped portion as exist between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, are not fixed; and a non-folded portion of the second cover member and the second folded portion, in such sections of the overlapped portion as exist between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, are not fixed. 2. A vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein: the length of the first folded portion in its folded direction is larger than the length of the overlapped portion in this folded direction; and the length of the second folded portion in its folded direction is larger than the length of the overlapped portion in this folded direction. 3. A vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein a non-folded portion of the first cover member and the first folded portion except for the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are not fixed, and a non-folded portion of the second cover member and the second folded portion except for the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are not fixed. 4. A vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein: the length of the first folded direction in its folded direction is two times or more and four times or less the length of the overlapped portion in this folded direction; and the length of the second folded direction in its folded direction is two times or more and four times or less the length of the overlapped portion in this folded direction. 5. A vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein: the length of the first folded direction in its folded direction is two times or more and four times or less the length of the overlapped portion in this folded direction; and the length of the second folded direction in its folded direction is two times or more and four times or less the length of the overlapped portion in this folded direction.
