A vehicle seat, comprising:
- a seatback frame including a pair of side members extending vertically along either side thereof and providing a structural framework of a seatback;
- a plate member positioned behind the seatback frame and including an extension extending in an outboard direction from the side member located on an outboard side of the seatback frame;
- a mounting member connected to the outboard side member;
- and
- an airbag module positioned on a front side of the extension and connected to the outboard side member via the mounting member,
- wherein the extension is provided with a raised piece which is raised in a forward direction therefrom, and
- wherein the mounting member includes a first mounting member connected to an outboard side of the outboard side member, and a second mounting member having a front end engaged by the first mounting member and a rear end attached to the raised piece, the second mounting member having the airbag module directly connected thereto.
A manufacturing method of a vehicle seat,
- wherein the vehicle seat comprises a seatback frame including a pair of side members extending vertically along either side thereof and providing a structural framework of a seatback;
- a plate member positioned behind the seatback frame and including an extension extending in an outboard direction from the side member located on an outboard side of the seatback frame;
- a mounting member connected to the outboard side member;
- and an airbag module positioned on a front side of the extension and connected to the outboard side member via the mounting member, and
- wherein the extension is provided with a raised piece which is raised in a forward direction therefrom,
- wherein the mounting member includes a first mounting member connected to an outboard side of the outboard side member, and a second mounting member having a front end engaged by the first mounting member and a rear end attached to the raised piece, the second mounting member having the airbag module directly connected thereto, and
- wherein the manufacturing method comprises a step to prepare the seatback frame, a step to connect the first mounting member to the outboard side of the outboard side member, a step to engage the front end of the second mounting member with the first mounting member, and a step to attach the rear end of the second mounting member to the rear side of the raised piece.
