US 10,870,378 B2 · Finisher-connecting structure and vehicle seat

Abstract

A finisher-connecting structure for connecting a front finisher, which is disposed on one part of a vehicle seat, and a side finisher, which is disposed on another part of a vehicle seat, comprising a connection protrusion provided to the front finisher, and a connection recess that is provided to the side finisher and that fits with the connection protrusion; wherein the connection protrusion and the connection recess extend in a direction that intersects a direction in which the front finisher and the side finisher are continuous; wherein the fitted-together connection protrusion and connection recess regulate the front-rear-direction positions of the front finisher and the side finisher. In this connecting structure, which connects a pair of finishers using a connection protrusion and a connection recess, an unnecessary gap, such as a V-shaped gap, is prevented from being formed in the connected portion of the finishers.

Dependent claims

A finisher-connecting structure for connecting a first finisher, which is disposed on one part of a vehicle seat, and a second finisher, which is disposed on another part of a vehicle seat, the finisher-connecting structure comprising:

a connection protrusion provided to the first finisher;
and
a connection recess that is provided to the second finisher and that fits with the connection protrusion,
wherein the connection protrusion and the connection recess extend in a direction that intersects a direction in which the first finisher and the second finisher are continuous,
wherein the fitted-together connection protrusion and connection recess regulates front-rear-direction positions of the first finisher and the second finisher,
wherein the direction in which the first finisher and the second finisher are continuous is oblique relative to a front-rear direction of the vehicle seat and a left-right direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, and
wherein the direction in which the connection protrusion and the connection recess intersect with the direction in which the first finisher and the second finisher are continuous is the front-rear direction of the vehicle seat.

4 more elements

a plurality of connection protrusions provided to the first finisher;
a plurality of connection recesses that are provided to the second finisher and that fit with the respective plurality of connection protrusions;
a guiding protrusion provided to the first finisher;
and
a guiding recess that is provided to the second finisher and that fits with the guiding protrusion;
wherein the plurality of connection recesses are integrated by mutually adjacent connection recesses of the plurality of connection recesses being linked by a linking member,
wherein the fitted-together guiding protrusion and guiding recess regulates positions of the first finisher and the end finisher along an up-down direction of the vehicle seat, and
wherein the guiding recess functions as the linking member.
