Seat Structure
First Claim
1. A seat structure comprising:
- a sitting portion frame; and
a cushion material including a sheet material, of which a front edge side is fixed at a front edge side of the sitting portion frame and a back edge side is connected to a back edge side of the sitting portion frame via a resilient member, the cushion material including spring characteristics in which, in a stationary sitting state, a spring constant of a portion that supports a protrusion portion of a sitter is smaller than a spring constant of another portion.

Abstract
A seat structure which can ameliorate fatigue of a sitting person in accordance with a long period of sitting is provided.
In a vehicle seat 10, a back edge side of a lower layer sheet 50 of a cushion material 20, of which a front edge side is fixed to a front edge side of a sitting portion frame 14, is resiliently connected to a back edge side of the sitting portion frame 14 via a movable frame 34 and a torsion bar 46, which is a resilient member. The cushion material 20 has a spring zero characteristic in which a spring constant of a portion that supports a protrusion portion of the sitting person is smaller than a spring constant of other portions. This vehicle seat 10 makes smaller the energy of vibrations which are transmitted to a spinal column portion of the sitting person through the sitting portion frame 14, and peripheral portions thereof convert vibrations corresponding to fluctuations in the body and transmit these through the sitting portion frame 14. α waves of 10 Hz to 12 Hz, which occur in a relaxed waking state, are caused in the brain of the sitting person. Vibrations in a resonance frequency region are attenuated in amplitude and transmitted to the sitting person.

4. A seat structure comprising:
- a sitting portion frame; and
a cushion material including a sheet material, of which a front edge side is fixed at a front edge side of the sitting portion frame and a back edge side is connected to a back edge side of the sitting portion frame via a resilient member,in which seat structure an attenuation ratio when a sitter displaces upward is set larger than an attenuation ratio when the sitter displaces downward.

6. A seat structure comprising:
-
a sitting portion frame;
a cushion material including a sheet material of which a front edge side is fixed at a front edge side of the sitting portion frame; and
a resilient member which is provided between a rear portion of the sitting portion frame and a back edge side of the sheet material, tensioning the sheet material onto the sitting portion frame, and deforming such that the back edge side of the sheet material descends while moving forward when a downward load acts on the sheet material.

14. A seat structure which comprises:
-
a back portion frame;
a back portion cushion material;
first resilient members which respectively connect two left-right direction edge portions of an upper end side of the back portion cushion material to an upper end side of the back portion frame; and
second resilient members which respectively connect two left-right direction edge portions of a lower end side of the back portion cushion material to a lower end side of the back portion frame, and the seat structure being formed so as to support an upper body of a sitter by the resilient members.

17. A seat structure comprising:
-
a back portion frame; and
a back portion cushion material with at least one end side of an up-down direction of which connected to the back portion frame via a resilient member, which is tensioned onto the back portion frame, and which forms a flat backrest in a non-sitting state.
