VEHICLE SEAT
First Claim
1. A vehicle seat comprising:
- a seat back; and
an airbag that deploys in the seat back,wherein the airbag deploys in the seat back in such a way that, after having deployed, the airbag elastically supports an upper body of an occupant and elastically receives an impact force applied to a back surface of the seat back, andwherein, after having deployed, the airbag has such a shape that a deployment amount, in a front-back direction, of the airbag near a side of the seat back is greater than that near a center of the seat back.

Abstract
A plurality of elastic support members extends across a seat back frame that forms a skeleton of a seat back of the vehicle seat. A seat pad is disposed on the front sides of the elastic support members. An airbag is disposed between the elastic support members and a back portion of a covering in a deflated state. After having deployed, the airbag has such a shape that a deployment amount, in a front-back direction, of the airbag near a side of the seat back is greater than that near a center of the seat back. In a collision or the like, the airbag deploys in the seat back in such a way that, after having deployed, the airbag elastically supports an upper body of an occupant and elastically receives an impact force applied to a back surface of the seat back.

10. A vehicle seat comprising:
-
a seat back; a seat back frame disposed in the seat back; an airbag that is disposed in the seat back and that deploys in the seat back; and a reaction-force-receiving member that is disposed in the seat back and that controls a deployment direction of the airbag by receiving a reaction force generated when the airbag deploys, wherein the airbag deploys in the seat back in such a way that, after having deployed, the airbag elastically supports an upper body of an occupant and elastically receives an impact force applied to a back surface of the seat back. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A vehicle seat comprising:
-
a seat back; a seat back frame disposed in the seat back; and an airbag that is disposed in the seat back and that deploys in the seat back; and
,wherein an entirety of the seat back frame has a substantially frame-like shape extending along an outline of the seat back, wherein the airbag is disposed in the seat back frame, wherein an inflator is attached to a floating member that is flexibly supported at a plurality of positions within the seat back frame, and wherein the inflator causes the airbag to deploy in the seat back in such a way that, after having deployed, the airbag elastically supports an upper body of an occupant and elastically receives an impact force applied to a back surface of the seat back. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
