Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat includes: a seat frame serving as a strength member; and a support body mounted to the seat frame to receive a load of a seated person, wherein the support body has surface rigidity such that an entire support surface is bent even when being subjected to a local load, and an elastic structure is interposed between the support body and the seat frame to cause the support body to be in elastic contact with the seat frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle seat comprising: a seat frame serving as a strength member; and a support body mounted to the seat frame to receive a load of a seated person, wherein the support body has surface rigidity such that an entire support surface is bent even when being subjected to a local load, and an elastic structure is interposed between the support body and the seat frame to cause the support body to be in elastic contact with the seat frame. 2 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the support body is configured by a resin panel, and the elastic structure includes a fragile shape portion integrally formed on the support body. 3 . The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the fragile shape portion is configured to be easier to bend compared to other portion of the support body. 4 . The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the fragile shape portion is configured by a plurality of protrusions provided on the support body. 5 . The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the support body includes: a top plate-main portion that serves as a support surface at a center in a widthwise direction of the seat; and a rising portion configured to raise a support angle relative to the top plate-main portion to receive the load of the seated person, and wherein the elastic structure is integrally formed on a back surface of the rising portion so that the support body is in elastic contact with the seat frame via the elastic structure. 6 . The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the seat frame has a frame shape along an outer periphery of the seat, and wherein the support body covers the frame-shaped seat frame from a front side to a front side surface and an outer peripheral side surface which respectively have a frame shape. 7 . The vehicle seat according to claim 6 , wherein the elastic structure is interposed between the support body and the frame-shaped front side surface of the seat frame, and between the support body and a side surface of the seat frame directed in the widthwise direction of the seat.
