Abstract

A mat attachment structure of a seatback includes: a guide wire attached to the mat and provided with a width-direction extending part extending in s width direction of the seatback frame on a tip or root side of the seatback frame; and a holder having a base part which holds the width-direction extending part so as to be rotatable around an axis of the width-direction extending part and an attachment part attached to the seatback frame. When a force exceeding a predetermined value in a direction to separate from the seatback frame is applied from the width-direction extending part to the holder, the force being due to the force from the back of the occupant that the mat receives, the width-direction extending part departs from the base part or the holder departs from the seatback frame, so that the width-direction extending part is separated from the seatback frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mat attachment structure of a seatback for attaching a mat to a seatback frame, the mat configured to receive a force from a back of an occupant leaning against the seatback, the mat attachment structure comprising:
a guide wire attached to the mat, the guide wire provided with a width-direction extending part which extends in a width direction of the seatback frame on a tip side of the seatback frame or a root side thereof; and
a holder having a base part which holds the width-direction extending part so as to be rotatable around an axis of the width-direction extending part and an attachment part attached to the seatback frame, wherein
when an external force exceeding a predetermined value in a direction to separate the holder from the seatback frame, which is derived from the force from the back of the occupant that the mat receives, is applied from the width-direction extending part to the holder, the width-direction extending part departs from the base part or the holder departs from the seatback frame, whereby the width-direction extending part is separated from the seatback frame.

2. The mat attachment structure of claim 1 , wherein the attachment part is attached to the seatback frame by snap fitting.

3. The mat attachment structure of claim 1 , wherein the holder is configured so that when the external force exceeding the predetermined value is applied to the holder, the base part or the attachment part is broken, whereby the width-direction extending part is separated from the seatback frame.

4. A vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat cushion;
a seatback;
a seatback frame arranged inside the seat back; and
a mat configured to receive a force from a back of an occupant leaning against the seatback, wherein
the mat is attached to the seatback frame by a mat attachment structure comprising:
a guide wire attached to the mat, the guide wire provided with a width-direction extending part which extends in a width direction of the seatback frame on a tip side of the seatback frame or a root side thereof; and
a holder having a base part which holds the width-direction extending part so as to be rotatable around an axis of the width-direction extending part and an attachment part attached to the seatback frame wherein
when an external force exceeding a predetermined value in a direction to separate the holder from the seatback frame, which is derived from the force from the back of the occupant that the mat receives, is applied from the width-direction extending part to the holder, the width-direction extending part departs from the base part or the holder departs from the seatback frame, whereby the width-direction extending part is separated from the seatback frame.

5. The vehicle seat of claim 4 , wherein the attachment part is attached to the seatback frame by snap fitting.

6. The vehicle seat of claim 4 , wherein the holder is configured so that when the external force exceeding the predetermined value is applied to the holder, the base part or the attachment part is broken, whereby the width-direction extending part is separated from the seatback frame.
