Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat is provided. The vehicle seat comprises a seat body, a fan, a duct, a mounting bracket, and a holder. The fan blows air out or draws air in. The duct couples between the seat body and the fan, and is flexible. The mounting bracket is to be mounted to a panel provided in the seat body and supports the duct. The holder is provided in at least a first one of the duct and the mounting bracket. The holder is configured to be abutted against a second one of the duct and the mounting bracket in a state where the mounting bracket is not mounted to the panel, thereby holding a mounting surface of the mounting bracket and a mounting surface of the panel such that the mounting surface of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface of the panel are approximately parallel to each other.

What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle seat comprising: a seat body; a fan configured to blow air out or draw air in; a duct configured to couple between the seat body and the fan; a mounting bracket that is configured to be mounted to a panel provided in the seat body and that is configured to support the duct; and a holder that is provided in at least a first one of the duct and the mounting bracket, the holder being configured to be abutted against a second one of the duct and the mounting bracket in a state where the mounting bracket is not mounted to the panel, thereby holding a mounting surface of the mounting bracket and a mounting surface of the panel such that the mounting surface of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface of the panel are approximately parallel to each other. 2 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the holder is configured to be a part of the duct. 3 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket is rotatably mounted to the fan via a rotating shaft, and wherein the holder is provided at a side opposite to the rotating shaft when viewed from the duct. 4 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises at least one protrusion on a surface to be abutted against the second one of the duct and the mounting bracket. 5 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of a surface of the holder that is to be abutted against the second one of the duct and the mounting bracket is a flat surface. 6 . The vehicle seat according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one protrusion is provided in the holder at a position at which the at least one protrusion does not abut the second one of the duct and the mounting bracket. 7 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the duct is flexible.
