Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat comprises a seat cushion frame configuring a frame member of a seat cushion, and a seat unit that is supported by the seat cushion frame and on which an occupant sits, that has a higher seating face rigidity in a seat front-rear direction than a seating face rigidity in a seat width direction, and that has the seating face rigidity in the seat width direction set lower at a seat front-rear direction rear side than at a seat front-rear direction front side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle seat comprising: a seat cushion frame configuring a frame member of a seat cushion; and a seat unit that is supported by the seat cushion frame and on which an occupant sits, that has a higher seating face rigidity in a seat front-rear direction than a seating face rigidity in a seat width direction, and that has the seating face rigidity in the seat width direction set lower at a seat front-rear direction rear side than at a seat front-rear direction front side. 2 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein: the seat unit is formed in a net form including a plurality of longitudinal direction fiber members extending along the seat front-rear direction, and a plurality of lateral direction fiber members extending along the seat width direction; and the respective fiber members are disposed more sparsely at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side of the seat unit. 3 . The vehicle seat of claim 2 , wherein: the longitudinal direction fiber members are thinner at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 4 . The vehicle seat of claim 2 , wherein: the lateral direction fiber members disposed at the seat front-rear direction rear side are thinner than the lateral direction fiber members disposed at the seat front-rear direction front side. 5 . The vehicle seat of claim 2 , wherein: a number of seating face regions partitioned by the longitudinal direction fiber members, and the lateral direction fiber members or the seat cushion frame is smaller at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 6 . The vehicle seat of claim 2 , wherein: both end portions of the lateral direction fiber members that are disposed at the seat front-rear direction front side of the seat unit are fixed to the seat cushion frame; and both end portions of the lateral direction fiber members that are disposed at a rear side of the lateral direction fiber members, which are disposed at the front side of the seat unit, are fixed to the longitudinal direction fiber members. 7 . The vehicle seat of claim 2 , wherein: both end portions of the lateral direction fiber members that are disposed at the seat front-rear direction front side of the seat unit are fixed to the seat cushion frame; and a lateral direction fiber member non-placement region in which the lateral direction fiber members are not disposed is provided at the seat front-rear direction rear side of the seat unit. 8 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein: the seat unit is configured by a resin seat cushion pad that has cushioning properties; and a plurality of thinned portions are formed at a seating face side of the seat cushion pad, such that the rigidity of the seat cushion pad is lower at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 9 . The vehicle seat of claim 8 , wherein: the thinned portions are formed by recessed grooves extending along the seat front-rear direction; and a greater number of the recessed grooves are formed at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 10 . The vehicle seat of claim 8 , wherein: the thinned portions are configured by recessed grooves extending along the seat front-rear direction; and a groove depth of each recessed groove is set deeper at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 11 . The vehicle seat of claim 9 , wherein: a groove depth of each recessed groove is set deeper at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side.
