Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a seat cover, a headrest, and a vehicle seat. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 listed below discloses a technology for suppressing wrinkles that occur around an opening in a headrest that is formed to inject a foam material (cushion pad) into the interior of a bag-shaped skin body. Briefly, this prior art uses two end pieces for forming the opening, separate from the skin pieces that make up the skin material. These end pieces are made of the same material as the skin material, and are sewn to each of a pair of skin pieces that are provided on either side of the opening, and the pair of skin pieces are integrated via the end pieces, thereby suppressing wrinkles in the skin pieces. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-97731 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art is aimed at preventing wrinkles around the opening, but does not involve directly sewing the upholstery pieces together. Therefore, there is room for further improvement in preventing wrinkles from forming at the seams where the upholstery pieces are sewn together.

[0005] In consideration of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a seat cover, a headrest, and a vehicle seat that are capable of suppressing wrinkles that occur at the locations where cover pieces are sewn together. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The seat upholstery according to the invention of claim 1 includes a first upholstery piece that covers a part of a cushion pad of a vehicle seat, and a second upholstery piece that is sewn to the first upholstery piece via a first sewn part, is connected to the first upholstery piece, and covers another part of the cushion pad, and the second upholstery piece has a cutout portion that is provided on a terminal side of the second upholstery piece relative to the first sewn part and is continuously formed along the first sewn part, and a gusset member that is provided on a surface of the second upholstery piece opposite to the first upholstery piece, covers the cutout portion, is sewn to the second upholstery piece via a second sewn part that is located between the first sewn part and the cutout, and is thinner and less stretchy than the second upholstery piece.

[0007] The seat cover according to the invention described in claim 1 comprises a first cover piece and a second cover piece that cover a part of a cushion pad of a vehicle seat, and the first cover piece and the second cover piece are sewn together via a first stitching portion and are formed so as to be connected to each other.

[0008] The second skin piece has a cutout portion formed on the terminal side of the first sewn portion, and the cutout portion is formed continuously along the first sewn portion. A gusset member that is less stretchy and thinner than the second skin piece is provided on the surface of the second skin piece opposite the first skin piece, and the cutout portion is covered by the gusset member. The gusset member is sewn to the second skin piece via a second sewn portion located between the first sewn portion and the cutout portion.

[0009] Generally, the seat cover is made of a decorative surface sheet made of genuine leather, synthetic leather, or the like, and a slab urethane foam or the like placed on the back surface of the decorative surface sheet. In other words, the first and second cover pieces have a predetermined thickness and cushioning properties.

[0010] For this reason, when sewing the first and second skin pieces together, if the curvature of the stitching is large, i.e., if the R is tight, the first sewn portion will draw a curve with a tight R. In such cases, parts of the skin pieces may overlap (pull together), which may cause wrinkles on the design surface of the seat skin.

[0011] Therefore, in the present invention, a notch is provided in the second skin piece closer to the terminal than the first sewn portion. By forming the notch in the second skin piece, it is possible to thin out a portion of the skin piece where bunching occurs. This prevents the skin pieces from overlapping and suppresses the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface of the seat skin.

[0012] On the other hand, as mentioned above, the first and second skin pieces have a predetermined thickness and cushioning properties. There is no problem if the first and second skin pieces are sewn together with their ends aligned, but the second skin piece has a cutout on the end side of the first sewn part. Therefore, when the second skin piece with the cutout formed thereon is sewn together with the first skin piece, the tension on the end side of the second skin piece varies depending on whether or not the cutout is formed, and there is a possibility that the second skin piece will become diagonally misaligned.

[0013] In this case, some of the skin pieces may shift position, potentially causing new wrinkles on the design surface of the seat skin. Therefore, when sewing the first and second skin pieces together, it is necessary to ensure that the second skin piece does not shift relative to the first skin piece.

[0014] Therefore, in the present invention, a gusset member that covers the cutout formed in the second skin piece is provided on the second skin piece. This gusset member is thinner and less stretchy than the second skin piece. The gusset member complements the shape of the cutout portion in the second skin piece where the cutout is formed, making it possible to suppress variations in tension on the terminal side of the second skin piece. As a result, in the present invention, it is possible to prevent the second skin piece from shifting relative to the first skin piece when sewing the first and second skin pieces together.

[0017] Claim 2The headrest according to the invention described in claim 1 includes a headrest stay connected to an upper end of a seat back of a vehicle seat, a headrest pad supported by the headrest stay, and a headrest pad covering the headrest pad. 1 to and the seat covering described above.

[0018] Claim 2 In the headrest according to the invention described above, the seat cover covering the headrest pad supported by the headrest stay connected to the upper end of the seat back of the vehicle seat has the effect described in claim 1 or claim 2.

[0019] Claim 3 The headrest according to the invention described in claim 2 The headless device according to the invention described in In this case, the seat upholstery includes a main portion as the second upholstery piece that forms the front surface of the headrest body and comes into contact with the head of an occupant seated in the vehicle seat, and side gusset portions as the first upholstery pieces that form the side surfaces of the headrest body, are provided on both sides of the main portion in the seat width direction, and are connected to the main portion via the first sewing portions.

[0020] Claim 3 In the headrest according to the invention described in the above, the seat upholstery includes a main portion as a second upholstery piece and a side gusset portion as a first upholstery piece, and the main portion forms the front surface of the headrest body and comes into contact with the head of an occupant seated in the vehicle seat. Meanwhile, the side gusset portions form the side surfaces of the headrest body, are provided on both sides of the main portion in the seat width direction, and are connected to the main portion via first stitching portions.

[0021] A cutout is formed in the main part, and the main part and the gusset part are integrated via the second sewn part with the cutout covered by the gusset part, and the main part and the side gusset part are connected via the first sewn part. As a result, the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface of the main part of the headrest is suppressed. Because the main part of the headrest stands out more than other parts in terms of design, suppressing wrinkles on the design surface of this main part makes it possible to inexpensively improve the quality of the headrest.

[0022] Claim 4 The vehicle seat according to the invention described above includes a seat cushion on which an occupant sits and which has a seat cushion pad provided therein, a seat back which supports the upper body of the occupant seated on the seat cushion and which has a seat back pad provided therein, and a headrest which is disposed above the seat back and which has a headrest pad provided therein, and at least the headrest pad is provided as described in claim 1 to Covered by the seat covering described

[0023] Claim 4 In the vehicle seat according to the invention described in claim 1, a seat cushion pad is provided inside the seat cushion on which the occupant sits. Also, a seat back pad is provided inside the seat back that supports the upper body of the occupant seated on the seat cushion. Furthermore, a headrest pad is provided inside the headrest disposed above the seat back, and at least this headrest pad is provided in accordance with claim 1. 1 to The seat is covered with the seat covering described above.

[0024] Therefore, the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface of the headrest is suppressed. 1 to By covering the seat with the above-described seat covering, the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface of the seat cushion and seat back is also suppressed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0025] As described above, the seat cover according to the invention as set forth in claim 1 can suppress wrinkles from occurring in the areas where cover pieces are sewn together.

[0027] Claim 2 According to the headrest of the invention described above, the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface is suppressed, thereby improving quality.

[0028] Claim 3 According to the headrest of the invention described above, wrinkles on the design surface can be suppressed in the minimum necessary areas, thereby improving quality at low cost.

[0029] Claim 4 According to the vehicle seat according to the invention described above, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface not only of the headrest but also of the seat cushion and seat back. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0031] Hereinafter, a headrest according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the arrows FR, UP, and RH shown as appropriate in each drawing indicate the front, upper, and right of the headrest, respectively. Hereinafter, when the front, rear, left, right, up, and down directions are simply used in the description, they will indicate directions relative to the headrest unless otherwise specified. Also, in each drawing, some symbols may be omitted to make the drawings easier to read.

[0032] (Headrest configuration) First, the configuration of the headrest according to this embodiment will be described.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, a headrest 10 according to this embodiment is provided on the side of a rear seat (vehicle seat) 12, for example, and is connected to an upper end 14A of a seat back 14 that constitutes the upper side of the rear seat 12.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 2, the headrest 10 includes a headrest stay 16 which is a framework member, a headrest pad (pad material) 18 which is a pad material, and a headrest trim (seat skin) 20 which is a skin.

[0035] The headrest stay 16 is, for example, a metal pipe bent into an approximately inverted U shape, and includes a pair of left and right leg portions 16A extending in the vertical direction of the headrest 10, and a connecting portion (not shown) that connects the upper ends of the pair of left and right leg portions 16A in the horizontal direction of the headrest 10.

[0036] The headrest pad 18 is made of a foam such as urethane foam. The upper sides of the headrest stays 16 are embedded in the headrest pad 18. The lower sides of the left and right leg portions 16A extend downward from the headrest pad 18 and are connected to the upper end portion 14A of the seat back 14, as shown in FIG. 1. The headrest pad 18 is supported by the headrest stays 16.

[0037] 3 shows an exploded view of the headrest trim 20. The headrest trim 20 comprises a main portion (second skin piece) 22 that forms the front surface of the headrest 10 (see FIG. 1), has a generally rectangular shape with a slightly longer vertical direction, and comes into contact with the head of an occupant seated in the rear seat 12 (see FIG. 1), and side gusset portions (second skin pieces) 24 that form the side surfaces of the headrest 10, are provided on both sides of the main portion 22 in the seat width direction, are formed into elongated shapes, and are sewn around the periphery of the main portion 22.

[0038] Notches 26, 28 are formed at the end 22A of the main part 22 and the end 24A of the side gusset part 24 on the sides to be sewn together, and the main part 22 and the side gusset part 24 are overlapped and sewn together so that the shapes and positions of the notch parts 26 and 28 match.

[0039] In this way, by forming notches 26, 28, it is possible to prevent the main part 22 and side gusset part 24 from being oriented in the wrong direction. Note that a notch 30 is formed in the end 22B of the main part 22 opposite to notch 26, and a notch 32 is formed in the end 24B of the side gusset part 24 opposite to notch 28.

[0040] On the opposite side of the main part 22, with the headrest pad 18 in between, there are provided a front gusset part 34 which is arranged on the front side of the headrest 10 and has the seat width direction as its longitudinal direction, and a rear gusset part 36 which is arranged on the rear side of the headrest 10 and has the seat width direction as its longitudinal direction.

[0041] The front end (terminal 34A side) of the front gusset portion 34 is sewn to the main portion 22, and the rear end (terminal 36A side) of the rear gusset portion 36 is sewn to the terminal 24B side of the side gusset portion 24. As with the main portion 22 and the side gusset portion 24, notches 30, 38 are formed in the front gusset portion 34 at the terminal 22B of the main portion 22 and the terminal 34A of the front gusset portion 34 on the sides where the main portion 22 and the front gusset portion 34 are sewn together, respectively.

[0042] The main part 22 and the front gusset part 34 are overlapped and sewn together so that the shapes and positions of the notches 30 and 38 match. By forming the notches 30 and 38 in this way, it is possible to prevent the main part 22 and the front gusset part 34 from being oriented in the wrong direction.

[0043] In addition, a notch portion 40 is formed at the end 36A of the rear gusset portion 36 on the side where the side gusset portion 24 is sewn to the rear gusset portion 36, and notches 32, 40 are formed at the end 24B of the side gusset portion 24 and the end 36A of the rear gusset portion 36 on the side where the side gusset portion 24 and the rear gusset portion 36 are sewn to each other.

[0044] The side gusset portion 24 and the rear gusset portion 36 are overlapped and sewn together so that the shapes and positions of the notches 32 and 40 match. By forming the notches 32 and 40 in this way, it is possible to prevent the side gusset portion 24 and the rear gusset portion 36 from being oriented in the wrong direction.

[0045] An opening 42 is provided between the front gusset portion 34 and the rear gusset portion 36, and the headrest trim 20 can be folded inside out through this opening 42. Rectangular patches 44 are sewn to the edges of the opening 42 to reinforce the edges of the opening. Although not shown, J hooks for attaching the front gusset portion 34 and the rear gusset portion 36 and arrows for engaging with the J hooks and closing the headrest trim 20 are attached to the opening 42.

[0046] Here, in this embodiment, the bag further includes a gusset member 46 formed in a long shape and sewn to the main portion 22. The gusset member 46 is formed from a thinner material that is less stretchy than the main portion 22, such as a fabric material such as DUON or Wise.

[0047] The gusset member 46 has a large curvature to be sewn, particularly in the main portion 22. (Small radius of curvature) , and are provided in a portion that will become a curved portion R with a sharp R (see FIG. 2). For example, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4(A), and 4(B), in the curved portion R with a sharp R of the main portion 22, a notch 50 is formed continuously along the sewn portion 52 on the terminal 22A side of the sewn portion (first sewn portion) 52.

[0048] The cutout portion 50 has, for example, a generally inverted U shape and includes an upper wall portion 50A formed along the sewn portion 52, and a pair of leg pieces 50B, 50C that are connected to the upper wall portion 50A and move away from each other toward the tip. The gusset member 46 is sewn to the main portion 22 so as to cover the cutout portions 50, respectively.

[0049] The shape of the cutout 50 is not limited to this. For example, although not shown, the pair of legs 50B, 50C may be formed parallel to each other, or the cutout may be in an inverted V shape. Furthermore, the sizes of the cutouts 50 do not necessarily have to be the same, and the position of the upper wall 50A may differ depending on the shape of the curved portion, or the distance between the pair of legs 50B, 50C may differ.

[0050] (Sewing procedure for the outer skin pieces) Next, a procedure for sewing the sharply curved portion R of the main portion 22 that constitutes a part of the headrest trim 20 and the side gusset portion 24 in this embodiment will be described.

[0051] First, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of notches 50 are formed along the terminals 22A and 22B of the main portion 22 in the sharply curved portion R of the main portion 22.

[0052] As shown in Figures 4(A), 5(A), and (B), a gusset member 46 is arranged on the back surface 22C side of the main part 22 so as to cover the cutout portion 50, and the gusset member 46 and the main part 22 are sewn together via a sewing portion (second sewing portion) 48.

[0053] Note that Figure 5(A) shows a cross-sectional view of the gusset member 46 and the general portion 23 of the main portion 22 when cut along line AA shown in Figure 4(A), and Figure 5(B) shows a cross-sectional view of the gusset member 46 and the cutout portion 50 of the main portion 22 when cut along line BB shown in Figure 4(A).

[0054] Next, as shown in Figures 4(B), 6(A), and (B), with the main part 22 to which the gusset member 46 has been sewn and the side gusset portion 24 overlapping, the gusset member 46, the main part 22, and the side gusset portion 24 are sewn together via the sewing portion 52.

[0055] Note that Figure 6(A) shows a cross-sectional view of the gusset member 46, the general portion 23 of the main portion 22, and the side gusset portion 24 when cut along the CC line shown in Figure 4(B), and Figure 6(B) shows a cross-sectional view of the gusset member 46, the cutout portion 50 of the main portion 22, and the side gusset portion 24 when cut along the DD line shown in Figure 4(B).

[0056] As shown in Figure 4 (B), when the gusset member 46, the main part 22 and the side gusset part 24 are sewn together via the sewing part 52, the surface (design surface) 22D of the main part 22 and the surface (design surface) 24C of the side gusset part 24 are in contact with each other.

[0057] 7 and 8, the headrest trim 20 including the main portion 22 and the side gusset portions 24 is folded back to the front side. Then, the headrest trim 20 folded back to the front side is caused to cover the surface of the headrest pad 18, thereby forming the headrest 10.

[0058] 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the main part 22 and gusset member 46 shown in FIG. 6(A) folded back to the front side, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the main part 22 and gusset member 46 shown in FIG. 6(B) folded back to the front side.

[0059] (Action and effect of headrest) 3, 4(A), and 4(B), in this embodiment, the side gusset portions 24 and the main portion 22 of the headrest trim 20 are connected to each other by being sewn together via a stitched portion 52. The main portion 22 has a notch 50 formed on the terminal 22A side of the stitched portion 52, and the notch 50 is formed continuously along the stitched portion 52.

[0060] Further, a gusset member 46 that is thinner and less stretchable than the main part 22 is provided on the surface of the main part 22 opposite to the side gusset part 24 (back surface 22C of the main part 22), and the cutout part 50 is covered by the gusset member 46. The gusset member 46 is sewn to the main part 22 via a sewn part 48 located between the sewn part 52 and the cutout part 50.

[0061] Here, the side gusset portions 24 and the main portion 22 have a predetermined thickness and cushioning properties. Therefore, when sewing the side gusset portions 24 and the main portion 22, if the curvature of the sewing is large, the sewn portion 52 will form a curve with a sharp R. In such a case, as a comparative example, parts of the skin pieces may overlap (pull up), which may cause wrinkles on the design surface 20A of the headrest trim 20.

[0062] For this reason, in this embodiment, the main portion 22 has a notch 50 provided closer to the terminal 22A than the sewn portion 52. For example, in this embodiment, the notch 50 is formed in a portion of the sewn portion 52 where the curvature of the sewn portion 52 is greater than the combined thickness of the side gusset portion 24 and the main portion 22.

[0063] In the sewn portion 52, in the area where a curve with a sharp R is formed (curved portion R), as described above, the main portion 22 itself overlaps, resulting in wrinkles on the design surface 22D of the main portion 22. For this reason, in this embodiment, by forming a notch 50 in the area where the main portion 22 will gather, a portion of the main portion 22 is thinned out in the area where the gather will occur. This prevents the main portion 22 itself from overlapping, and makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface 20A of the headrest trim 20.

[0064] On the other hand, as mentioned above, the side gusset portions 24 and the main portion 22 have a predetermined thickness and cushioning properties. There is no problem if the side gusset portions 24 and the main portion 22 are sewn together with their ends 24A and 22A aligned, but the main portion 22 has a notch 50 on the end 22A side of the sewn portion 52.

[0065] Therefore, as a comparative example, as shown in Figures 9(A) and (B), if the main part 22 and the side gusset part 24 provided with the cutout part 50 are sewn together as is, the tension on the end 22A side of the main part 22 will vary depending on whether or not the cutout part 50 is formed, and there is a possibility that the main part 22 will shift diagonally.

[0066] In this case, although not shown, the position of a part of the main part 22 may shift, causing new wrinkles on the design surface 20A of the headrest trim 20. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is necessary to prevent the main part 22 from shifting relative to the side gusset part 24 when sewing the side gusset part 24 and the main part 22 together.

[0067] For this reason, in this embodiment, a gusset member 46 that covers the cutout portion 50 formed in the main portion 22 is further provided in the main portion 22. This gusset member 46 is formed thinner and less stretchable than the main portion 22.

[0068] By providing the main part 22 with the gusset member 46 that covers the cutout portion 50 formed in the main part 22, the gusset member 46 complements the shape of the cutout portion at the location where the cutout portion 50 is formed in the main part 22, making it possible to suppress variations in tension on the terminal 22A side of the main part 22. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the main part 22 from shifting with respect to the side gusset portion 24 when sewing the side gusset portion 24 and the main part 22 together.

[0069] Here, the main portion 22 forms the front surface of the headrest 10 and comes into contact with the head of an occupant seated in the rear seat 12. On the other hand, the side gusset portions 24 form the side surfaces of the headrest 10 and are provided on both sides of the main portion 22 in the seat width direction.

[0070] A cutout portion 50 is formed in the main portion 22, and the main portion 22 and the gusset member 46 are sewn together (connected) via a stitching portion 48 with the cutout portion 50 covered by the gusset member 46, and the main portion 22 and the side gusset portion 24 are connected via a stitching portion 52.

[0071] Therefore, in the headrest 10, the occurrence of wrinkles on the design surface 22D on the side of the main part 22 is suppressed. Because the main part 22 of the headrest 10 stands out more than other parts in terms of design, suppressing wrinkles on the design surface 22D of the main part 22 can improve the quality of the headrest 10 at low cost.

[0072] In this way, in this embodiment, by suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles, it is possible to reduce defective products and improve the yield of the headrest trim 20. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing the headrest trim 20.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gusset members 46 are required in the areas of the main portion 22 where the cutout portions 50 are formed, and therefore the gusset members 46 are provided in the headrest trim 20 in the minimum necessary areas. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in cost due to the addition of the gusset members 46. However, it goes without saying that the cutout portions 50 may be provided continuously around the entire periphery of the main portion 22.
