Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat comprises a seat cushion frame configuring a frame member of a seat cushion, and a seat unit that is supported by the seat cushion frame and on which an occupant sits, that has a higher seating face rigidity in a seat front-rear direction than a seating face rigidity in a seat width direction, and that has the seating face rigidity in the seat width direction set lower at a seat front-rear direction rear side than at a seat front-rear direction front side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat cushion frame configuring a frame member of a seat cushion; and a seat unit that is supported by the seat cushion frame and on which an occupant sits, wherein the seat unit is formed in a net form including a plurality of longitudinal direction fiber members extending along a seat front-rear direction, and a plurality of lateral direction fiber members extending along a seat width direction, the longitudinal direction fiber members are disposed in the seat width direction across the seat unit, the lateral direction fiber members are disposed more at a seat front-rear direction front side than at a seat front-rear direction rear side of the seat unit, and the respective lateral direction fiber members are disposed more sparsely at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side of the seat unit. 2. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein: the longitudinal direction fiber members are thinner at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 3. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein: the lateral direction fiber members disposed at the seat front-rear direction rear side are thinner than the lateral direction fiber members disposed at the seat front-rear direction front side. 4. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat cushion frame configuring a frame member of a seat cushion; and a seat unit that is supported by the seat cushion frame and on which an occupant sits, wherein: the seat unit is formed in a net form including a plurality of longitudinal direction fiber members extending along a seat front-rear direction, and a plurality of lateral direction fiber members extending along a seat width direction, the longitudinal direction fiber members are disposed in the seat width direction across the seat unit, the lateral direction fiber members are disposed more at a seat front-rear direction front side than at a seat front-rear direction rear side of the seat unit, and a number of seating face regions partitioned by the longitudinal direction fiber members, and the lateral direction fiber members or the seat cushion frame is smaller at the seat front-rear direction rear side than at the seat front-rear direction front side. 5. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein: both end portions of the lateral direction fiber members that are disposed at the seat front-rear direction front side of the seat unit are fixed to the seat cushion frame; and both end portions of the lateral direction fiber members that are disposed at a rear side of the lateral direction fiber members, which are disposed at the front side of the seat unit, are fixed to the longitudinal direction fiber members. 6. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein: both end portions of the lateral direction fiber members that are disposed at the seat front-rear direction front side of the seat unit are fixed to the seat cushion frame; and a lateral direction fiber member non-placement region in which the lateral direction fiber members are not disposed is provided at the seat front-rear direction rear side of the seat unit.
