However, when the cushion member is detachable from the seat body, it is desirable to be able to easily carry the cushion member removed from the seat body.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a cushion member that can be easily carried around.
Another object is to make it possible to easily attach and detach the cushion member.

The seat for achieving the above-mentioned objective comprises a seat body having a seat portion on which a person sits and a backrest, and a cushion member that can be attached and detached to at least one of the seating surfaces of the seat portion and the backrest, and the cushion member has a handle that a person can hook their hand on and hold.

The cushion member is a cushion member that is attached to a seat body having a seat portion on which a person sits and a backrest, at least one of which has a recess formed in a part of the seat surface, has a handle that a person can hook their hand on and hold, is detachable from the recess, and fits into the recess when attached.

This configuration allows the cushion member to be easily carried after it has been removed from the seat body. Also, because it is easily portable, the cushion member can be used at the destination where it is carried.

In the above-mentioned configuration, at least one of the seat and the backrest has a recess formed in a part of the seat surface, and the cushion member can be detachably attached to the recess and can fit into the recess when attached.

This allows the cushion member to be easily attached by simply fitting it into the recess, and it can be easily removed by simply pulling the cushion member out of the recess. In other words, the cushion member can be easily attached and detached.

In the above-mentioned configuration, the cushion member has a seat cushion that is detachable from the seat surface of the seat and a backrest cushion that is detachable from the seat surface of the backrest, and the handle is provided to connect the seat cushion and the backrest cushion.

This allows the cushion member to be carried by the handle while the seat cushion and backrest cushion are stacked on top of each other, making the cushion member having the seat cushion and backrest cushion compact and easy to carry.

In the above-mentioned configuration, the seat body has left and right child seat attachment parts for attaching a child seat, and the handle is provided so as to be positioned between the left and right child seat attachment parts when the cushion member is attached to the seat body.

This prevents the handle from getting in the way when attaching a child seat to a seat with a cushion member attached to the seat body.

In the above-mentioned configuration, the seat body has left and right child seat attachment parts for attaching a child seat, and the handle can be arranged to cover at least one of the left and right child seat attachment parts when the cushion member is attached to the seat body.

This makes it possible to realize a specification that makes it impossible to attach a child seat to the seat unless the cushion member is removed from the seat body.

In the above-mentioned configuration, the cushion member has a first electric wire provided in the seat cushion, a second electric wire provided in the backrest cushion, and a third electric wire connecting the first electric wire and the second electric wire, and the third electric wire can be arranged to pass through the handle.

This allows the cushion member to have an electric wire, allowing the third electric wire to be neatly arranged.

In the above configuration, the seat cushion and the back cushion can be substantially the same in shape and size.

By stacking the seat cushion and the backrest cushion, the cushion member becomes more compact, making it easier to carry the cushion member having the seat cushion and the backrest cushion. In addition, the seat cushion and the backrest cushion can be attached to the seat body by switching them.

In the above configuration, the handle can have a hole or recess for hooking the hand.

According to the present invention, the cushion member can be easily carried.

In addition, the cushion member is detachable from a recess formed in part of the seat surface, and is configured to fit into the recess when attached, allowing the cushion member to be easily attached and detached.

The backrest recess 12 has left and right inner surfaces 12A and 12B that hold the backrest cushion 120 of the cushion member 100 when it is fitted into the backrest recess 12. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the backrest recess 12 has upper and lower inner surfaces 12C and 12D that hold the backrest cushion 120 when it is fitted into the backrest recess 12.

The backrest cushion 120 is formed to fit into the backrest recess 12 in a slightly compressed state. As a result, when the backrest cushion 120 is fitted into the backrest recess 12, the left and right and top and bottom side surfaces of the backrest cushion 120 are in close contact with the left and right and top and bottom inner surfaces 12A-12D of the backrest recess 12. The contours of the backrest cushion 120 and the backrest recess 12 are approximately the same when the backrest cushion 120 is fitted into the backrest recess 12.

As shown in FIG. 2(a), the handle 130 is a part that a person can hook their hand on and hold, and is provided to connect the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120. The handle 130 is, for example, made of fabric or leather, and is a roughly H-shaped member with notches 131A and 131B at the top and bottom. For example, the lower end of the handle 130 is connected near the rear end of the back surface (lower surface) of the seat cushion 110, and the upper end is connected near the lower end of the back surface (rear surface) of the back cushion 120.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the seat cushion 110 is fitted into the seat recess 11, the lower part of the handle 130 enters the seat recess 11 together with the seat cushion 110 and is positioned between the rear side of the seat cushion 110 and the rear inner side 11D of the seat recess 11. Also, when the backrest cushion 120 is fitted into the backrest recess 12, the upper part of the handle 130 enters the backrest recess 12 together with the backrest cushion 120 and is positioned between the lower side of the backrest cushion 120 and the lower inner side 12D of the backrest recess 12.

As shown in FIG. 2(b), the cushion member 100 can be folded to form a roughly U-shape by overlapping the upper and lower portions of the handle 130 and overlapping the backsides of the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120, so that it can be carried by holding the handle 130. The handle 130 has a hole 131 for hanging the hand. The hole 131 is formed by parts of the notches 131A, 131B formed in the handle 130 and the edges of the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120.

As shown in FIG. 1, the seat body S0 further has left and right child seat attachment parts 50. The child seat attachment parts 50 are provided with fixing brackets for attaching a child seat, and are arranged at a predetermined distance on the left and right. Note that a detailed description of the specific structure of the child seat attachment parts 50 will not be given in this specification, but for example, a child seat fixing structure defined by the international standard ISOFIX can be adopted.

The handle 130 of the cushion member 100 is arranged to be located between the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0.

More specifically, the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 are positioned so as to fit within the width of the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 in the left-right direction. The handle 130 has a left-right width smaller than the distance between the left and right child seat attachment parts 50, and is provided at a position corresponding to the position between the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 in the left-right direction. Specifically, the handle 130 is provided near the center of the cushion member 100 in the left-right direction. As a result, when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0, the handle 130 is entirely positioned between the left and right child seat attachment parts 50.

The vehicle seat S further includes a retaining mechanism 60. The retaining mechanism 60 is a mechanism for preventing the backrest cushion 120, which is fitted into the backrest recess 12, from sliding down due to the lower end of the backrest cushion 12 slipping forward as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the retaining mechanism 60 has left and right hook portions 61.

The hook portion 61 is a substantially right-angled triangular member made of, for example, fabric or leather, and is provided on the backrest S2. In detail, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the hook portion 61 is provided so as to cover a part of the lower part of the backrest recess 12 when viewed from the front. More specifically, the hook portion 61 is provided so as to cover the left and right corners located below the backrest recess 12 when viewed from the front.

The left hook 61 is attached to the left side and lower part of the left corner of the seat surface S20 of the backrest S2 that is located below the backrest recess 12. The right hook 61 is attached to the right side and lower part of the right corner of the seat surface S20 of the backrest S2 that is located below the backrest recess 12.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the backrest cushion 120 is fitted into the backrest recess 12, the hook portion 61 is positioned to sandwich the backrest cushion 120 between itself and the bottom surface 12E of the backrest recess 12, thereby supporting the backrest cushion 120. As a result, the hook portion 61 prevents the lower end of the backrest cushion 120 fitted into the backrest recess 12 from moving forward.

According to the present embodiment described above, the cushion member 100 can be easily attached by simply fitting it into the recess 10, and the cushion member 100 fitted into the recess 10 can be easily removed by simply pulling it out of the recess 10. This allows the cushion member 100 to be easily attached and detached.

In addition, because the cushion member 100 can be easily attached and detached, if the cushion member 100 becomes dirty, it can be easily removed and washed or replaced. In addition, by providing multiple cushion members 100 with different colors, patterns, hardness, etc., the cushion member 100 can be easily replaced according to the preference of the person sitting on it.

In addition, by preparing a cushion member 100 that includes, for example, planar heaters 71A, 71B, fans 72A, 72B, vibrators 73A, 73B, etc., as shown in Figures 10(a) to (c), it is possible to add a heating function, a ventilation function, a massage function, etc. to the vehicle seat S after the fact. In addition, since the cushion member 100 can be easily attached and detached, it is easy to replace the cushion member 100 with one having a different function, and the functions added to the vehicle seat S can be easily changed.

In addition, the recess 10 has inner surfaces 11A-11D, 12A-12D that hold the cushion member 100 when it is fitted into the recess 10, so the cushion member 100 can be firmly held in place when fitted into the recess 10.

In addition, since the vehicle seat S is equipped with a retaining mechanism 60, the backrest cushion 120 fitted in the backrest recess 12 can be prevented from sliding down. In more detail, the backrest cushion 120 fitted in the backrest recess 12 is hooked on the hook portion 61, thereby preventing the lower end of the backrest cushion 120 from shifting forward and sliding down.

In addition, the cushion member 100 has a handle 130 that a person can hook and hold, so the cushion member 100 can be easily carried after being removed from the seat body S0. In addition, the ease of carrying the cushion member 100 allows the cushion member 100 to be used at the destination where it is carried.

In addition, the cushion member 100 has a seat cushion 110 and a back cushion 120, and the handle 130 is provided to connect the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120, so that the cushion member 100 can be carried by holding the handle 130 with the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120 stacked on top of each other. This makes it possible to make the cushion member 100, which has the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120, compact and easy to carry.

In addition, when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0, the handle 130 is positioned between the left and right child seat attachment parts 50, so that the handle 130 does not get in the way when attaching a child seat to the vehicle seat S with the cushion member 100 attached to the seat body S0.

In addition, since the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 have substantially the same shape and size, stacking the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 makes the cushion member 100 more compact. This makes it easier to carry the cushion member 100, which includes the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120.

In addition, since the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 are substantially the same in shape and size, it is possible to attach the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 interchangeably to the seat body S0. In addition, when the cushion member 100 is removed from the seat body S0 and carried to a new location for use, it is possible to use the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 while they are stacked on top of each other.

Although one embodiment of the invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate as exemplified below. In the following, the same components as those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

In the above embodiment, the hook portion 61 of the retaining mechanism 60 is provided so as to cover a part of the lower portion of the backrest recess 12 when viewed from the front side, but this is not limited thereto, and the hook portion may be provided so as to cover the entire lower portion of the backrest recess 12 when viewed from the front side. In addition, the hook portion may be made of a material that constitutes the skin, and may be provided integrally with the skin.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the holding mechanism 60 has a hook portion 61, but this is not limited to this.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the retaining mechanism 60 may have an engaging portion 62A and an engaged portion 62B. The engaging portion 62A is a concave portion provided on the left and right side surfaces of the backrest cushion 120. The engaged portion 62B is a convex portion provided on the left and right inner surfaces 12A, 12B of the backrest recess 12 formed in the backrest S2. The engaging portion 62A engages with the engaged portion 62B when the backrest cushion 120 is fitted into the backrest recess 12.

With this configuration, when the backrest cushion 120 fits into the backrest recess 12, the engaging portion 62A and the engaged portion 62B engage with each other, preventing the backrest cushion 120 from slipping down.

In the modified example shown in FIG. 6, the engaging portion 62A of the cushion member 100 is concave and the engaged portion 62B of the backrest S2 is convex, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the engaging portion may be convex and the engaged portion may be concave. Also, instead of one set, multiple sets of engaging portions and engaged portions may be provided on each of the left and right sides. Also, the engaging portion and engaged portion may have a shape that combines convex and concave portions.

The electrical components 70 provided on the cushion member 100 are not limited to the heaters 71A and 71B shown in FIG. 10(a). For example, as shown in FIG. 10(b), they may be fans 72A and 72B for cooling, or as shown in FIG. 10(c), they may be vibrators 73A and 73B for generating vibrations.

With this configuration, the cushion member 100 has the electric wires 91 and 92, and the third electric wire 92C can be neatly arranged.

In addition, by providing the cushion member 100 with electrical components 70 and a battery 80 connected by electric wires 91, 92, when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0, it is possible to add a heating function, an air-blowing function, a massage function, and the like to the vehicle seat S after installation. Furthermore, when the cushion member 100 is removed from the seat body S0, these functions can be used even when the cushion member 100 is carried around.

The electrical components provided in the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120 do not have to be the same type of electrical components, and may be different types of electrical components. For example, a fan may be provided in the seat cushion 110, and a heater may be provided in the back cushion 120. The electrical components provided in the seat cushion 110 do not have to be of one type, and may be of two or more types. For example, the seat cushion 110 may be provided with both a heater and a fan. The same applies to the electrical components provided in the back cushion 120.

The battery may be provided in the backrest cushion 120 instead of the seat cushion 110, or may be provided in both the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120. The electric wire 92 may be a continuous electric wire, or may be a plurality of electric wires, for example, a first electric wire 92A, a second electric wire 92B, and a third electric wire 92C, which are separate members, connected together.

In the above embodiment, the handle 130 of the cushion member 100 is provided so as to be positioned between the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0, but this is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 11(a), the handle 230 may be provided so as to cover the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0.

More specifically, the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 are positioned so as to fit within the width of the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 in the left-right direction. As shown in Figs. 11(b) and (c), the left-right width of the handle 230 is approximately the same as the left-right width of the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120, and is provided across the entire width of the seat cushion 110 and the backrest cushion 120 in the left-right direction. As a result, the handle 230 covers the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0. The handle 230 has holes 131 for hanging hands.

This configuration makes it possible to realize a specification in which a child seat cannot be attached to the vehicle seat S unless the cushion member 100 is removed from the seat body S0.

Although not shown in the figure, the handle may be provided to cover only one of the left and right child seat attachment parts 50 when the cushion member 100 is attached to the seat body S0.

In the above embodiment, the vehicle seat S is a seat having a child seat attachment portion 50, such as a second-row seat or a third-row seat in an automobile, but is not limited to this. For example, the vehicle seat may be a seat that does not have a child seat attachment portion, such as a driver's seat or a passenger seat in an automobile.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120 are approximately the same in shape and size, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the seat cushion and the back cushion may be approximately the same in shape but different in size, or approximately the same in size but different in shape. Also, the seat cushion and the back cushion may be different in both shape and size.

In the above embodiment, the cushion member 100 has both a seat cushion 110 that is detachable from the seat surface S10 of the seat S1, and a back cushion 120 that is detachable from the seat surface S20 of the backrest S2, but this is not limited to the above. For example, as shown in FIG. 12(a), the cushion member 100 may have only a seat cushion 110 that is detachable from the seat surface S10 of the seat S1 (seat recess 11). In the modified example shown in FIG. 12(a), only the seat S1 has a recess (seat recess 11) formed in a part of the seat surface S10, and no recess for attaching or detaching the cushion member is formed in the seat surface S20 of the backrest S2.

Also, as shown in FIG. 12(b), the cushion member 100 may have only a backrest cushion 120 that can be attached and detached to the seat surface S20 (backrest recess 12) of the backrest S2. In the modified example shown in FIG. 12(b), only the backrest S2 has a recess (backrest 12) formed in part of the seat surface S20, and no recess for attaching and detaching the cushion member is formed in the seat surface S10 of the seat S1.

When the cushion member 100 has only one of the seat cushion 110 and the back cushion 120, the handle 330 does not connect the seat cushion and the back cushion as shown in FIG. 13(a). The handle 330 is a roughly U-shaped member made of, for example, fabric or leather, and is connected to the rear surface of the seat cushion 110 or the back cushion 120 near the end. The handle 330 may be folded so that it can be attached to the rear surface of the cushion member 100 as shown by the imaginary line, for example, when attaching the cushion member 100 to the seat body S0.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the handle 130 has a hole 131 for hooking the hand, but this is not limited to the above. For example, as shown in FIG. 13(b), the handle 430 provided on the back surface of the seat cushion 110 or the back cushion 120 may have a recess 431 for hooking the hand.

In the above embodiment, the seat is exemplified as a vehicle seat S mounted in an automobile, but is not limited thereto. For example, the seat may be a vehicle seat mounted in a vehicle other than an automobile, specifically, a railroad car, a ship, an aircraft, etc. Furthermore, the seat may be a seat used in the home, a seat installed in a facility, etc.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the cushion member 100 was detachably attached to the recess 10 formed in a portion of the seat surface of the vehicle seat S, but the cushion member can be configured to be detachably attached to a seat surface that does not have a recess.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the cushion member 100 has a handle 130, but the cushion member can be configured without a handle.

Furthermore, the elements described in the above embodiments and variations may be implemented in any combination.
