Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a vehicle seat device including a vibration system formed from a seat back and a headrest being equipped with a dynamic damper, the dynamic damper is formed from an elastic member that is embedded within a cushion member of the vibration system and formed from a rubber or elastomer that is softer than the cushion member, and a weight embedded in the elastic member. Thus it is possible to provide a vehicle seat device that includes a dynamic damper having a small number of components and a simple structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat device comprising: a seat cushion disposed on a floor of a vehicle; a seat back linked to a rear end part of the seat cushion; a headrest fitted to an upper end part of the seat back and comprising a cushion member; and a dynamic damper; wherein: the dynamic damper comprises an elastic member that is embedded within the cushion member and is softer than the cushion member, and a weight embedded in the elastic member, the headrest further comprises a headrest frame formed from a frame lower portion supported on a support tube so that the frame lower portion can selectively move up and down or be fixed in position, the support tube being fixedly provided on an upper end part of a seat back frame of the seat back, and a frame upper portion bending forward from an upper end of the frame lower portion and extending obliquely upward, the cushion member is supported on the frame upper portion, and the dynamic damper is positioned to a rear of the frame upper portion.
