Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat including: a seat cover configuring a design surface of a seat peripheral surface portion; a seat pad covered by the seat cover and configured to elastically support a load from a seated person; an air conditioning duct protruding from the seat peripheral surface portion; an insertion hole penetrating the seat cover and the seat pad; and a connection member attached to a seat internal structure which is provided at one side of the insertion hole opposite to another side of the insertion hole from which the duct is inserted into the insertion hole, wherein the duct is attached to the seat internal structure in a state of being inserted into the insertion hole and connected with the connection member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat cover configuring a design surface of a seat peripheral surface portion; a seat pad covered by the seat cover and configured to elastically support a load from a seated person; an air conditioning duct protruding from the seat peripheral surface portion; an insertion hole penetrating the seat cover and the seat pad; and a connection member attached to a seat internal structure which is provided at one side of the insertion hole opposite to another side of the insertion hole from which the duct is inserted into the insertion hole, wherein the duct is attached to the seat internal structure from an outer side of the vehicle seat, and wherein the duct is attached to the seat internal structure in a state of being inserted into the insertion hole and connected with the connection member. 2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the duct includes a holding portion that holds a portion of the seat cover surrounding the insertion hole in a state where the portion of the seat cover surrounding the insertion hole is elastically pushed and sandwiched between the holding portion and a portion of the seat pad surrounding the insertion hole, in a case where the duct is attached to the seat internal structure. 3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , further comprising: a rotation mechanism configured to attach the duct to the seat internal structure to be axially rotatable around an axis extending in an insertion direction, the insertion direction being a direction in which the duct is inserted into the insertion hole. 4. The vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein a portion of the seat pad surrounding the insertion hole is a repulsive portion configured to apply repulsive force to the duct, thereby applying sliding frictional resistance force, in a rotation direction of the duct, to the duct.
