Abstract

The present disclosure provides a conveyance seat that can discharge liquid splashed on a cover member of the seat so that clothing does not get wet with the liquid remaining on the cover member. A conveyance seat includes a bottom plate and a cover member attached to the bottom plate. A discharge hole for discharging the liquid splashed on the cover member is formed in the bottom plate. The cover member includes: a slit by which the surface is divided; and welded portions where portions of the cover member divided by the slit are welded together. The welded portions are inclined toward the discharge hole to form discharge lines which guide discharge of the liquid splashed on the cover member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A conveyance seat comprising:
a bottom plate; and
a cover member adapted to be attached to the bottom plate,
wherein:
a discharge hole configured to discharge liquid splashed on the cover member is formed in the bottom plate;
the cover member includes a divided portion by which the cover member is divided into a first portion and a second portion;
a welded portion where a portion of the first portion and a portion of the second portion are welded together is formed on the cover member; and
in a state where the cover member is attached to the bottom plate, the welded portion is inclined downward toward the discharge hole to form at least one discharge line configured to guide discharge of the liquid splashed on the cover member.

2. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein a top-side protrusion surrounding the discharge hole is formed on the top side of the bottom plate.

3. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein a back-side protrusion surrounding the discharge hole is formed on the back side of the bottom plate.

4. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein:
the cover member includes a discharge guide portion that extends through the discharge hole of the bottom plate to guide discharge of the liquid; and

6. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein:
a passage hole that provides a space surrounded by the first portion, the second portion, and the welded portion to be communicated with the outside is formed in the cover member; and
the cover member is attached to the bottom plate such that the at least one discharge line comprises a plurality of discharge lines that extend downward of the discharge hole and such that the passage hole is arranged below the discharge hole.

7. The conveyance seat according to claim 6 , wherein:
in a state where the cover member is attached to the bottom plate, the first portion and the second portion extend through and beyond the discharge hole to be fixed to the bottom plate in an overlapped manner; and
the passage hole is formed in one of the first portion and the second portion, which is arranged below the other of the first portion and the second portion.

8. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein:
the bottom plate includes a bottom portion and a backrest portion arranged rearward of the bottom portion;
the bottom portion and the backrest portion are covered by the cover member;
