Abstract

Provided is a conveyance seat configured for adjustment of a deflection amount of a seat forming the conveyance seat, i.e., cushion properties of the seat. The conveyance seat includes a seat frame and a buffering body bridged over the seat frame configured to elastically support a seated occupant. The buffering body has a wire having both end portions attached to the seat frame, and a back restriction member configured to support at least a portion of the wire to restrict deflection of the portion of the wire. The wire includes a first right-to-left extending portion and a second right-to-left extending portion that extend in a seat right-to-left direction, and a coupling portion coupling the first right-to-left extending portion and the second right-to-left extending portion. The back restriction member is made of a resin material, and supports the first right-to-left extending portion and the second right-to-left extending portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A conveyance seat comprising:
a seat frame; and
a buffering body bridged over the seat frame and configured to elastically support a seated occupant;

wherein:

the linear member is supported by the horizontally-extending plate and the vertically-extending plate; and
the first and second extending portions are supported by the vertically-extending plate.

2. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the restriction member supports the first and second extending portions and the coupling portion.

3. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein
the linear member includes a plurality of first extending portions, a plurality of second extending portions, and a plurality of coupling portions, and
the restriction member supports the first extending portions and the second extending portions.

4. The conveyance seat according to claim 3 , wherein the restriction member supports the first extending portions, the second extending portions, and the coupling portions.

5. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second extending portions are arranged at different heights relative to each other.

6. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein
the linear member includes a plurality of linear members arranged in parallel,
