Abstract
A headrest movable frame (2) has an upper frame (2b) which is arranged on the upper end face of a seatback and extends in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body, and side frames (10) which are arranged on the side end faces of the seatback and extend in the up-and-down direction. A lower frame (2c) is axially supported on the side frames (10) at a position below the upper frame (2b). Guide holes (3) linearly move a headrest (1) upward and forward by a backward load acting on the lower portion of the lower frame (2c) of the headrest movable frame (2) in a rear impact collision.
Claims15
A seat structure for a vehicle, which comprises a headrest placed behind a passenger's head, and a load transfer portion which has a pressure receiving portion that is located at substantially the same level as a passenger's waist, and receives a load from the passenger's waist in a rear impact collision, and displaces said headrest along a predetermined path by the load acting on said pressure receiving portion, comprising:
- a seatback frame having an upper surface frame which is arranged on an upper end face of a seatback, and extends in a widthwise direction of a vehicle body, and side surface frames which are arranged on side end faces of the seatback, and extend in an up-and-down direction,
- wherein said load transfer portion is axially supported by said side surface frames at a position below said upper surface frame, and crosses said upper surface frame of the seatback when viewed from a back-and-forth direction of the vehicle body to permit forward displacement of said headrest, and contacts said upper surface frame in an ordinary state, and is allowed to be displaced only toward a front side of the vehicle body so as to prevent said headrest from moving toward the rear side of the vehicle body even when said headrest is pushed toward the rear side of the vehicle body, or when a portion of said load transfer portion below axial support points by said side surface frames is pushed toward the front side of the vehicle body, and is formed by an upper portion, a lower portion, headrest support guides extending upward from the upper portion, and right and left side portions of which both ends area connected to each end of the upper portion and the lower portion and which are movably supported by the side surface frames.
A seat structure for a vehicle, which comprises a pressure receiving portion for receiving a load from a passenger's waist in a rear impact collision, a load transfer portion for supporting a headrest placed behind a passenger's head, and displacing the headrest along a predetermined path by a load acting on said pressure receiving portion, and a seatback frame for pivotally and axially supporting said load transfer portion by side surface portions thereof, comprising:
- an allowance portion which allows backward displacement of a passenger's chest and is formed above axial support portions of said load transfer portion in said seatback frame,
- wherein said allowance portion is formed by bending backward a portion of said load transfer portion just above the axial support portions, and at least a portion of said load transfer portion above the axial support portions is comprised of a rectangular frame, and is formed in a space bounded by a the rectangular frame, and said load transfer portion is formed by an upper portion, a lower portion, headrest support guides extending upward from the upper portion, and right and left side portions of which both ends are connected to each end of the upper portion and the lower portion and which are movably supported by the side surface portions of said seatback frame, and the right and left side portions extending from a portion just above the axial support portions to the upper portion are set backward to the right and left side portions extending from a portion below the axial support portions to the lower portion.
A seat structure for a vehicle, which comprises a pressure receiving portion for receiving a load from a passenger's waist in a rear impact collision, a load transfer portion for supporting a headrest placed behind a passenger's head, and displacing the headrest along a predetermined path by a load acting on said pressure receiving portion, and a seatback frame for pivotally and axially supporting said load transfer portion by side surface portions thereof,
- wherein the headrest is supported by headrest support portions provided on an upper edge portion of said load transfer portion,
- a restriction member for restricting back-and-forth movement of said headrest support portions is provided to an upper edge portion of said seatback frame and is bent to surround both side portions and front portion of said headrest support portions, and
- said headrest support portions are placed on a front surface of the upper edge portion of said seatback frame, and said restriction member restricts forward movement of said headrest support portions.
