Vehicle seat

A method for manufacturing a vehicle seat having a seat cushion and a seat back, the method comprising steps of assembling the seat cushion and assembling the seat back,

• wherein the step of assembling the seat cushion comprises the steps of:
• preparing a frame structure provided in the seat cushion and including a left and a right side member, and front and rear cross members connecting corresponding ends of the side members to each other;
• placing a support member for supporting an occupant on the frame, the support member including a plate-like main body supported by the frame structure within the frame structure and extending substantially in parallel with the frame structure, a pair of inclined portion extending laterally outward from parts of lateral side edges of the main body with an upward inclination, a front mounting portion extending from a front edge of the main body to be engaged by the front cross member, and a rear mounting portion extending from a rear edge of the main body to be engaged by the rear cross member;
• providing a pad on an upper side of the frame structure and the support member;
• and
• covering the pad by a skin member,
• wherein each side part of a front part of the main body where the inclined portions are absent is provided with a shape differing in height between a front side and a rear side thereof in side view.

A method for manufacturing a vehicle seat having a seat cushion and a seat back, the method comprising the steps of assembling the seat cushion and assembling the seat back,

• wherein at least one of the steps of assembling the seat cushion and assembling the seat back comprises the steps of:
• preparing a frame structure;
• placing a support member on the frame structure, wherein the support member is supported by the frame structure within the frame structure to support an occupant;
• providing a pad on a proximal side of the frame structure and the support member;
• and
• covering the pad by a skin member,
• the support member including a plurality of engagement portions engaging end part of the skin member,
• wherein the support member is formed in a plate shape, the engagement portions each comprise an engagement hole consisting of a through hole formed in the support member, the end part of the skin member being provided with a hook passed through the corresponding engagement hole from a distal side thereof to a proximal side thereof to engage a peripheral edge part of the engagement hole,
• wherein the support member is provided with an inclined portion that extends outward in a lateral direction with respect to the locking portion, the inclined portions is inclined so that a laterally outside edge of the inclined portion is positioned on proximal side with respect to a laterally inside edge of the inclined portion,
• further comprising a clip for fixing another member to the inclined portion, a mounting hole for inserting the clip being formed in a part of the inclined portion located on a lateral extension line of the engagement hole along the supporting member.
