Abstract

In a conveyance seat, a columnar engaging portion protruding from a rear surface of an additional member is moved toward a seat back while being in contact with a seat cushion, and the engaging portion is inserted between the seat cushion and the seat back, and is engaged with an engaged portion disposed between the seat cushion and the seat back. The seat pad includes a general portion that elastically supports an occupant, and a compression portion that is compressed more easily than the general portion. The compression portion contacts and supports the seat cover, and is disposed on a movement path of the engaging portion such that the engaging portion is moved toward the engaged portion and is engaged with the engaged portion while compressing the compression portion.

the seat pad includes a general portion configured to elastically support an occupant, and a compression portion that is compressed more easily than the general portion,
the compression portion contacts and supports the seat cover, and is disposed on a movement path of the engaging portion such that the engaging portion is moved toward the engaged portion and is engaged with the engaged portion while compressing the compression portion,
the compression portion is separated from the general portion by a pair of slits, each of the pair of slits being defined by a groove extending along a forward-rearward direction of the seat pad, and
one of the pair of slits has a length extending along the forward-rearward direction of the seat pad that is longer than a length of the other of the pair of slits extending along the forward-rearward direction of the seat pad.

2. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein the additional member is a child safety seat.

3. The conveyance seat according to claim 1 , wherein:
the pair of slits extend along the movement path of the engaging portion; and
the compression portion is compressed while being expanded toward the slit portion.

4. The conveyance seat according to claim 3 , wherein the compression portion is provided between the pair of the slits such that the compression portion is separated from the general portion.

5. A conveyance seat comprising:
a seat cushion; and
a seat back that is connected to the seat cushion such that the seat back is tiltable, wherein
the seat cushion includes a seat pad that defines a seat outer shape, and a seat cover that covers a seating surface of the seat pad,
when an additional member is installed on a seating side of the seat cushion, an engaging portion that is columnar and protrudes from a rear surface of the additional member is moved toward the seat back while being in contact with the seat cushion, and the engaging portion is inserted between the seat cushion and the seat back, and is engaged with an engaged portion disposed between the seat cushion and the seat back,
the seat pad includes a general portion configured to elastically support an occupant, and a compression portion that is compressed more easily than the general portion,
the compression portion contacts and supports the seat cover, and is disposed on a movement path of the engaging portion such that the engaging portion is moved toward the engaged portion and is engaged with the engaged portion while compressing the compression portion,
the compression portion is separated from the general portion by a pair of slits, each of the pair of slits being defined by a groove extending along a forward-rearward direction of the seat pad and the pair of slits extend along the movement path of the engaging portion,
when the compression portion is compressed, the compression portion expands toward the pair of slits,
the compression portion is provided between the pair of the slits such that the compression portion is separated from the general portion, and
a cord member is disposed in at least one of the pair of slits.

6. The conveyance seat according to claim 5 , wherein
the cord member is disposed in one of the pair of slits, and a bottom of the other of the pair of slits is located closer to a surface of the seat pad than a position of the cord member in the one of the pair of slits.

7. The conveyance seat according to claim 6 , wherein
the compression portion includes an additional slit portion, and
a bottom of the additional slit portion is provided closer to the surface of the seat pad than the position of the cord member.

8. The conveyance seat according to claim 5 , wherein the cord member is a wire member.

9. The conveyance seat according to claim 3 , wherein the pair of slits are open from a seating surface of the seat cushion to an end face of the seat cushion, the end face being on a side on which the seat back is disposed.
