Abstract

There is provided a vehicle seat including a seatback frame including: a first base member formed of a thin plate member made of resin; a second base member formed of a thin plate member made of resin and disposed facing the first base member; a pass-through portion that is formed to at least one of the first base member or the second base member, and that enables insertion of an injection nozzle for injecting a foaming liquid for a foamed body; and a core section that is configured by the foamed body, that is disposed between the first base member and the second base member, and that is adhered to the first base member and the second base member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle seat including a seatback frame comprising:
a first base member formed of a thin plate member made of resin;
a second base member formed of a thin plate member made of resin and disposed facing the first base member;
a pass-through portion that is formed to at least one of the first base member or the second base member, and that enables insertion of an injection nozzle for injecting a foaming liquid for a foamed body; and
a core section that is configured by the foamed body, that is disposed between the first base member and the second base member, and that is adhered to the first base member and the second base member, wherein:
the seatback frame comprises a back shell section and a pair of side shell sections;
the core section comprises a first foamed section, a second foamed section, and a third foamed section, having respective densities such that the second foamed section has a higher density than the third foamed section and the third foamed section has a higher density than the first foamed section;
the first foamed section is disposed further toward the seat upper side than a seat up-down direction center of the back shell section, and at the seat upper side of the side shell sections;
the second foamed section is disposed further toward the seat lower side than the seat up-down direction center of the back shell section, and at the seat lower side of the side shell sections; and
the third foamed sections are disposed at seat up-down direction center portions of the side shell sections.

2. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein:
the pass-through portion is configured including a first pass-through portion facing the first foamed section, and a second pass-through portion formed at a position separated from the first pass-through portion and facing the second formed section.

3. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein:
a plurality of partitioned regions are formed between the first base member and the second base member by a rib portion that protrudes out from at least one of the first base member or the second base member with a leading end portion of the rib portion abutting the other of the first base member or the second base member.

4. The vehicle seat of claim 3 , wherein any of the partitioned regions from out of the plurality of partitioned regions forms a thinned portion of the core section.

5. The vehicle seat of claim 4 , wherein the partitioned region that forms the thinned portion of the core section is formed by a rib section that is a cylindrical shape.

6. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein:
a portion further to the seat upper side than a seat up-down direction center portion of the first base member forms a sloped portion sloping from a seat front side toward a seat rear lower side;
a housing portion, in which headrest stays are to be housed, is formed to the sloped portion; and
the pass-through portion is disposed at a seat up-down direction center portion of the sloped portion.

7. A vehicle seat including a seatback frame comprising:
a first base member formed of a thin plate member made of resin;
a second base member formed of a thin plate member made of resin and disposed facing the first base member;
a pass-through portion that is formed to at least one of the first base member or the second base member, and that enables insertion of an injection nozzle for injecting a foaming liquid for a foamed body;
a core section that is configured by the foamed body, that is disposed between the first base member and the second base member, and that is adhered to the first base member and the second base member;
a back shell section; and
a pair of side shell sections, wherein
the pass-through portion is formed on an area corresponding to the pair of side shell sections of at least one of the first base member or the second base member,
a portion further to a seat upper side than a seat up-down direction center portion of the first base member forms a sloped portion sloping from a seat front side toward a seat rear lower side; and
a housing portion, in which headrest stays are to be housed, is formed to the sloped portion, and
the pass-through portion is disposed at a seat up-down direction center portion of the sloped portion.
