Abstract

A vehicular seat capable of reducing a tensile force, which acts on a sewing thread in a webbing sewn part, enables desired expanding operation of a side air bag in the case of emergency. The vehicular seat has an air bag body, provided in the side part of the seat back, which tear-opens the extending part of the trim cover by expansion, to expand from the seat back. A wrap-sewn part, with its terminal end wrap-folded, is provided at an end sewn to the trim cover. The wrap-sewn part has an overlap part where the webbing is overlapped, and a non-overlap part provided at an end of the overlap part in a direction along a sewing line of sewing to the trim cover. The wrap-sewn part is sewn over the overlap and the non-overlap part with respect to the trim cover.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicular seat having: a seat cushion on which a person is seated; a seat back provided upright at a rear end of the seat cushion; and a trim cover covering a surface of the seat back, wherein a side air bag, having an air bag body and webbing provided around the air bag body, with an end of the webbing sewn to an extending part of the trim cover, is provided on a side of the seat back, and wherein the air bag body expands to tear-open the extending part, and expands to the outside of the seat back,
wherein the webbing has a wrap-sewn part with a terminal end wrap-folded, at an end sewn to the trim cover,
the wrap-sewn part has: an overlap part in which the webbing is wrap-folded; and a non-overlap part provided at an end of the overlap part in a direction along a sewing line sewn to the trim cover, and
the wrap-sewn part is sewn over the overlap part and the non-overlap part with respect to the trim cover.

2. The vehicular seat according to claim 1 ,
wherein the trim cover has a main part provided on a front surface side of the seat back, and a gore part provided on the side surface side of the seat back,
the extending part is formed by sewing the main part and the gore part together with a sewing thread,
the webbing has first webbing sewn to the main part and second webbing sewn to the gore part, wherein the wrap-sewn part is formed in the first webbing with an end of the wrap-sewn part forming a pleat, and a second wrap-sewn part is formed in the second webbing with an end of the second wrap-sewn part forming a pleat,
a sewn part between the first webbing and the main part is positioned on a pleat side of the wrap-sewn part provided in the first webbing with respect to the sewing thread to sew the extending part, and
a sewn part between the second webbing and the gore part is positioned on a pleat side of the second wrap-sewn part provided in the second webbing with respect to the sewing thread to sew the extending part.

3. The vehicular seat according to claim 2 ,
wherein the non-overlap part is formed with a triangular-shaped part provided at one edge of the webbing, and
the pleat of each of the wrap-sewn part corresponds with one side of the triangular-shaped part.

4. The vehicular seat according to claim 3 ,
wherein the webbing has a triangular-shaped protrusion at another edge, and
the pleat passes through an apex of the triangular shape forming the protrusion.
