Vehicular seat installed with side airbag device

VEHICULAR SEAT INSTALLED WITH SIDE AIRBAG DEVICE In a vehicular seat (10), an inside bag (36) completes inflation and deployment earlier than a side air bag body (34), on the inner side of the side airbag body (34) in the vehicle width direction, and presses an occupant inward in the vehicle width direction. The inside bag (36) inflates and deploys at an upper level than the abdominal region of the occupant. Further, reaction force is applied inward in the vehicle width direction from a reaction force plate (38) supported by an outer side frame (24), to the inside bag (36). The reaction force plate (38) extends in a vehicle front-back direction, and extends toward the front beyond a front edge portion of the outer side frame (24) as viewed in the vehicle width direction. Thus, reaction force can be favourably applied to the inside bag (36), even at a level where the inside bag (36) is unlikely to receive reaction force from the outer side frame (24).

Vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes a tension structure extended on a back frame with a configuration in which a natural frequency in the right-and-left direction of the back frame is set lower than the natural frequency in the front-and-rear direction. Thereby, the structure can easily deflect in the right-and-left direction. Therefore, since an impact load larger than a predetermined level inputted in the front-and-rear direction due to front-and-rear/pitching vibration or a rear collision and the like becomes a force of deflecting the back frame in the right-and-left direction, the vibration/impact energy is consumed by that, and moreover, rearward displacement of the back frame consumes vibration/impact energy. Thus, absorbing performances of the vibration/impact energy are higher than before.

Seat module for a mining vehicle
