Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat device includes a fixed base, a movable base, a paddle, and an air pack. When a side airbag arranged in the seat is deployed, the expanding side airbag presses and pivots the movable base and allows for a deployment of the side airbag. The paddle is configured to change a seat support form when pressed and pivoted by the air pack. The movable base pivots about a first pivot axis relative to the fixed base. The paddle pivots about a second pivot axis relative to the movable base. The first pivot axis and the second pivot axis are arranged at different locations.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A vehicle seat device, comprising: a fixed base fixed to a structural body of a seat; a movable base pivotally coupled to the fixed base; a paddle pivotally coupled to the movable base; and an air pack inflated and deflated between the movable base and the paddle, wherein when a side airbag arranged in the seat is deployed, the expanding side airbag presses and pivots the movable base and allows for a deployment of the side airbag, the paddle is configured to change a seat support form when pressed and pivoted by the air pack, the movable base pivots about a first pivot axis relative to the fixed base, the paddle pivots about a second pivot axis relative to the movable base, and the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis are arranged at different locations. 2 . The vehicle seat device according to claim 1 , wherein the second pivot axis is arranged at a location closer to a distal end of the movable base than the first pivot axis. 3 . The vehicle seat device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a biasing member; wherein the biasing member biases the movable base in a direction opposite to a direction in which the side airbag presses and pivots the movable base. 4 . The vehicle seat device according to claim 3 , wherein the biasing member is a torsion coil spring that is arranged coaxially with the first pivot axis. 5 . The vehicle seat device according to claim 3 , wherein the movable base is held by a biasing force of the biasing member at a location contacting the fixed base.
