An occupant seat of vehicles including a spring structure having a buffer body mounted thereon, said spring structure including a plurality of spring elements juxtaposed in a horizontal plane, each of which is integrally formed of supporting hooks disposed at both ends and a pair of coil spring portions positioned near the hooks.
Disclosure herein is a vehicular seat which comprises a seat cushion; a seatback arranged on a rear part of the seat cushion, the seatback including a seatback frame having opposed side portions; a plurality of spring wires extending between the opposed side portions of the seatback frame; and an inside pad including a cushion pad proper, and upper and lower frame parts which are embedded in the cushion pad proper and having mutually mating portions pivotally connected through connecting bands; and clips for connecting one of the mating portions to one of the spring wires.
A vehicle seat construction is provided. The preferred embodiment construction includes a seat frame having a curvilinear shaped a seat cushion bun is mounted on top of the frame a seat covering is provided for enclosing the seat cushion bun. The seat cover has along an edge connective means, a flexible non-molded polymeric trim retainer is attached with the frame at at least two separate locations. The trim retainer shapes the cover and is joined to the cover. The trim retainer also retains the cover to the seat cushion bun.
A bolster wire assembly is embedded in the resilient foam cushion of a vehicle seat to permit attachment of a seat cover to the foam cushion. The bolster wire assembly includes a wire having a strip of molded plastic mesh attached to and extending continuously therealong. The strip of plastic mesh has a plurality of interstices therein permitting the foam to flow through the plastic mesh during the foaming of the resilient foam cushion so that the strip of plastic mesh is embedded in the foam cushion to thereby anchor the bolster wire in the foam cushion. Conventional fasteners such as hog rings may then be employed to attach a list on the seat cover to the bolster wire.
The production, by either a batch process or a continuous process, of vehicle seat trim pads or like articles of cured polymer no-gel latex foam and having convex or crowned surfaces free of congealed polymer skin, is disclosed. In the process, a backing fabric is first laid on a pervious supporting surface. A no-gel latex foam is then deposited on the fabric, and an open-bottom open-top grid of a height not greater than that of the deposited mass of latex foam is placed into the latter, excess latex foam above the top plane of the grid being scraped off to impart to each pocket or island of foam a smooth and level top surface. The entire assembly is then subjected to dry heat to effect both a rapid dehydration and a curing of the latex foam. During the initial stage of this operation, the no-gel latex foam expands somewhat so that the top surface of each island thereof becomes crowned without having to be disposed in contact with a mold surface of appropriate contours. The grid is removed after curing has been completed, leaving a plurality of in situ formed channels separating the base-connected islands. An upholstery covering is then applied to the top surface of the finished pad in closely conforming relation to the crown surfaced islands, being secured to the pad by stitching through the bottoms of the channels. This abstract is not to be taken either as a complete exposition or as a limitation of the present invention, however, the full nature and extent of the invention being discernible only by reference to and from the entire disclosure.
A child restraint seat (22) is disposed in a cavity (20) of the backrest (14) in an adult passenger seat (10) for restraining a child in a vehicle. The child seat (22) comprises a seat portion (24) pivotal between a folded position recessed in the cavity (20) forming a lower portion of the adult backrest (14) and an unfolded position resting against the adult seat portion (12). A child backrest (26) is disposed in the cavity (20) and pivotal between a first position parallel with the inclined position of the adult backrest (14) and a second child backrest inclined position. The child seat (22) further includes a headrest (54) pivotal in an arcuate path about an axis of the adult backrest (14) between a folded position forming the upper portion of the adult backrest (14) and an unfolded position raised above the backrest (14) and forming an extended child backrest portion (26).
