Embodiment Construction

[0030] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention is explained referring to the drawings.

[0031]FIG. 1a is an anteroposterior cross-section illustrating a seat with a seating sensor according to the present invention, and FIG. 1b is a cross-section, taken along the B-B cutting line in FIG. 1a.

[0032] In this embodiment, a supporting member 2 is integrally provided at a bottom face of a pad 1. The supporting member 2 is formed of non-woven cloth, coarse wool felt, or the like. The pad 1 is formed of urethane foam in this embodiment. The upper face and four side faces of the pad 1 are covered with a cover (cover trim) 3 formed of cloth, leather, or the like.

[0033] A sheet-like seating sensor 4 and a plate 5 serving as a rigid plate-like member that covers the seating sensor 4 are disposed between a bottom face of the pad 1 and the supporting member 2. The seating sensor 4 is formed of a pressure-sensitive sensor for generating a turning-ON signal, when the pressure-sensitive...

Abstract

A seat with a seating sensor is provided, in which no foreign body sensation is felt at all even when a sensor for detecting seating is provided, and the seat with the seating sensor is easily manufactured. A supporting member 2 is integrally provided with a bottom face of the pad 1. A sheet-like seating sensor 4 and a plate 5 serving as a rigid plate-like member 5 for covering the seating sensor 4 are disposed between the bottom face of the pad 1 and the supporting member 2. The seat with the seating sensor is molded by means of disposing the supporting member 2, the seating sensor 4, and the plate 5 in a stacked state, shown in the drawings, in a metallic mold for molding the pad 1, feeding raw liquid of urethane into the metallic mold, and foaming.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This is a continuation application of PCT / JP2004 / 007473 filed on May 31, 2005.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a seat with a sheet-like seating sensor for detecting seating of a human body, and more particularly relates to a seat with a seating sensor preferably applied to a seat of a motor vehicle. Further, the present invention relates to a pad for use in the seat with the seating sensor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] A seating sensor is sometimes provided at an upper face of a seat for detecting whether an occupant is seated in the seat. In such a seat with a seating sensor provided with a seating sensor at an upper face, a slab of about 5 mm in thickness is adhered in a manner so as to cover the seating sensor, or a frame laminating process of about 5 mm in thickness is performed as a countermeasure against a foreign body sensation, caused by the presence of a seating sensor when the occupant is sea...
