抵抗力発生器44は、固定軸50と、固定軸50に固着されている一方の回転体としての内側部材51と、内側部材51に対して固定軸50を中心として相対的にR4方向に回転自在な他方の回転体としてのハウジング52と、内側部材51及びハウジング52の間に介在されていると共に内側部材51に対するハウジング52の固定軸50を中心とした相対的なR4方向の回転で相補的に容積が増減する少なくとも二つ、本例では四つの空間53、54、55及び56と、空間53、54、55及び56に収容された適度な粘性を有した液体57と、内側部材51に対するハウジング52の固定軸50を中心としたR4方向の相対的な回転で増減する空間53、54、55及び56に対して流出入する液体57の流速に応じた大きさの抵抗を発生する細孔58及び59からなるオリフィス手段60とを具備している。   The resistance generator 44 rotates in the R4 direction relative to the fixed shaft 50, the inner member 51 as one rotating body fixed to the fixed shaft 50, and the fixed shaft 50 as a center with respect to the inner member 51. Complementary by rotation in the R4 direction relative to the inner member 51 and the housing 52 as the other rotating body, and the inner member 51 and the housing 52, relative to the inner member 51 about the fixed shaft 50 of the housing 52 The volume is increased or decreased by at least two, in this example, four spaces 53, 54, 55 and 56, a liquid 57 having an appropriate viscosity contained in the spaces 53, 54, 55 and 56, and the inner member 51. Resistance having a magnitude corresponding to the flow rate of the liquid 57 flowing into and out of the spaces 53, 54, 55, and 56 that increase or decrease with relative rotation in the R4 direction around the fixed shaft 50 of the housing 52. Are provided with an orifice means 60 consisting of the pores 58 and 59 occurs.

固定軸50は、背凭れ4のフレームに固着されており、ワイヤー43は、引っ張られる際には巻き戻されるように、ハウジング52の周りに巻き付けられて他端でハウジング52に固着されており、コイルばね45は、一端ではハウジング52に、他端では背凭れ4のフレームに夫々固着されてハウジング52を囲繞して設けられている。   The fixed shaft 50 is fixed to the frame of the backrest 4, and the wire 43 is wound around the housing 52 so as to be rewound when pulled, and is fixed to the housing 52 at the other end. The coil spring 45 is fixed to the housing 52 at one end and fixed to the frame of the backrest 4 at the other end so as to surround the housing 52.

一方ではワイヤー43、スリーブ42及びアーム41を介して荷重−変位変換機構32に連結されていると共に他方ではワイヤー43を介して禁止機構7に連結されている抵抗力発生器44は、内側部材51に対するハウジング52の固定軸50を中心としたR4方向の相対的な回転で液体57が空間53及び54から空間55及び56に又はその逆に細孔58及び59を介して出入する際に内側部材51に対するハウジング52の固定軸50を中心としたR4方向の相対的な回転の速度に応じて、即ち当該速度が大きい際には大きな抵抗力を当該速度が小さい際には小さな抵抗力を固定軸50を中心とした相対的な内側部材51に対するハウジング52のR4方向の回転に対して発生するようになっている。   The resistance force generator 44 connected to the load-displacement conversion mechanism 32 via the wire 43, the sleeve 42, and the arm 41 on the one hand and connected to the prohibition mechanism 7 via the wire 43 on the other hand is the inner member 51. When the liquid 57 enters and exits from the spaces 53 and 54 to the spaces 55 and 56 or vice versa through the pores 58 and 59 by relative rotation in the R4 direction around the fixed shaft 50 of the housing 52 with respect to the inner member 51 according to the relative rotation speed in the R4 direction around the fixed shaft 50 of the housing 52 with respect to 51, that is, when the speed is large, a large resistance force is applied, and when the speed is small, a small resistance force is applied to the fixed shaft. The rotation occurs in the R4 direction of the housing 52 relative to the inner member 51 relative to the center 50.

以上の車両用シート1では、座席シート3への乗員の着座で背凭れ4に車両の後方への乗員の通常の荷重が付加される場合又は座席シート3に着座した乗員への車両の通常の加速による背凭れ4への車両の後方への乗員の荷重の追加の場合においては、背凭れ4へのこれらの荷重は緩慢になされる結果、乗員の斯かる荷重を受ける荷重受板37は、軸35を中心としてR3方向において時計回りに緩慢に回動される。荷重受板37のこの緩慢な回動でアーム41が同じくR3方向において図1において時計回りに緩慢に回動されてアーム41の先端にスリーブ42を介して係合されたワイヤー43に撓みが生じると、ワイヤー43の他端を介してハウジング52が固定軸50を中心として内側部材51に対してR4方向において図1において反時計回りに回転されようとする。この回転は、細孔58及び59を介して液体57の空間53及び54から空間55及び56へのゆっくりとした流動を生じさせる結果、大きな抵抗力を生じさせないで行われ、而して、支持部材17の先端への当接、係合を解除するような鉤部材22のR2方向において図1において時計回りの回動を生じさせる引張力がワイヤー43に生じなく、禁止機構7はヘッドレスト5の前方のR1方向の回動を禁止し、ヘッドレスト5は通常の位置に維持される。   In the vehicle seat 1 described above, when a passenger's normal load is applied to the backrest 4 when the occupant is seated on the seat seat 3, or when the occupant is seated on the seat seat 3 In the case of the addition of the occupant's load behind the vehicle to the backrest 4 due to acceleration, these loads on the backrest 4 are slowed down so that the load receiving plate 37 that receives such a load of the occupant is: It is slowly rotated clockwise in the R3 direction around the shaft 35. Due to this slow rotation of the load receiving plate 37, the arm 41 is also slowly rotated clockwise in FIG. 1 in the R3 direction, and the wire 43 engaged with the tip of the arm 41 via the sleeve 42 is bent. Then, the housing 52 tends to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 1 in the R4 direction with respect to the inner member 51 around the fixed shaft 50 via the other end of the wire 43. This rotation is performed without creating a large drag force as a result of the slow flow of the liquid 57 through the pores 58 and 59 from the spaces 53 and 54 to the spaces 55 and 56, and thus the support. The pulling force that causes clockwise rotation in FIG. 1 in the R2 direction of the flange member 22 that releases the contact and engagement with the tip of the member 17 does not occur in the wire 43, and the prohibiting mechanism 7 The headrest 5 is maintained at a normal position by prohibiting forward rotation in the R1 direction.

また車両用シート1では、追突されて座席シート3に着座した乗員へ後方への大きな加速度が生じて、荷重受板37が急激に軸35を中心としてR3方向において図1において時計回りに回動されると、ワイヤー43に急速な撓みが生じ、ワイヤー43の他端を介してハウジング52が固定軸50を中心として内側部材51に対して高速でR4方向において図1において反時計回りに回転されようとする。この回転は、液体57の空間53及び54から空間55及び56への急速な流動を生じさせる結果、大きな抵抗力を生じさせて、ハウジング52と内側部材51とが互いに剛体連結されたようになり、而して、図4に示すように、支持部材17の先端への当接、係合を解除するような鉤部材22の回動を生じさせる引張力がワイヤー43に生じ、禁止機構7の鉤部材22は、支持部材17の先端への当接、係合を解除するように軸21を中心としてR2方向において図1において時計回りに回動され、ヘッドレスト5は、コイルばね19に付勢されて乗員の頭部を保持するようにR1方向に回動される。   Further, in the vehicle seat 1, a large rearward acceleration is generated in the passenger seated in the rear seat and seated on the seat seat 3, and the load receiving plate 37 suddenly rotates clockwise in FIG. 1 about the shaft 35 in the R3 direction. Then, the wire 43 is rapidly bent, and the housing 52 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 1 in the R4 direction at a high speed with respect to the inner member 51 around the fixed shaft 50 through the other end of the wire 43. Try to. This rotation causes a rapid flow of the liquid 57 from the spaces 53 and 54 to the spaces 55 and 56. As a result, a large resistance is generated, so that the housing 52 and the inner member 51 are rigidly connected to each other. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, a pulling force is generated on the wire 43 that causes the hook member 22 to rotate so as to abut and disengage the support member 17. The collar member 22 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 1 in the R2 direction around the shaft 21 so as to release the contact and engagement with the tip of the support member 17, and the headrest 5 is urged against the coil spring 19. And rotated in the R1 direction so as to hold the head of the passenger.

このように車両用シート1では、禁止機構7によるヘッドレスト5の前方のR1方向への回動禁止を背凭れ4に加わる車両の後方への一定以上の加速度で解除させる解除手段8が背凭れ4に加わる車両の後方への一定以上の加速度に基づく力を禁止機構7に伝達する一方、背凭れ4に加わる一定以下の車両の後方への加速度に基づく力の禁止機構7への伝達を行わない伝達機構33を有しているので、追突された時等とそうでない時とを的確に識別して追突された時等のみに確実にヘッドレスト5を前方のR1方向に移動させることができる。   As described above, in the vehicle seat 1, the release means 8 that releases the prohibition of the rotation of the headrest 5 in the R1 direction in front of the headrest 5 by the prohibition mechanism 7 with a certain acceleration beyond the back of the vehicle applied to the backrest 4. The force based on the acceleration beyond a certain amount applied to the rear of the vehicle applied to the vehicle is transmitted to the prohibiting mechanism 7, while the force based on the acceleration below the certain amount applied to the backrest 4 is not transmitted to the prohibiting mechanism 7. Since the transmission mechanism 33 is provided, the headrest 5 can be reliably moved in the forward R1 direction only when the rear-end collision is made by accurately identifying when the rear-end collision occurs and when it is not.

抵抗力発生器44として回転型のものを用いたが、これに代えて、図5及び図6に示すように直動型のものを用いてもよい。図5及び図6に示す抵抗力発生器44は、一方の直動体としてのシリンダ61と、シリンダ61に対して相対的に直動自在な他方の直動体としてのピストン62と、シリンダ61及びピストン62の間に介在されていると共にシリンダ61に対するピストン62の相対的な直動で相補的に容積が増減する二つの空間63及び64と、二つの空間63及び64に収容された粘性の液体57と、シリンダ61に対するピストン62の相対的な直動で増減する二つの空間63及び64に対して流出入する液体57の流速に応じた大きさの抵抗力を発生する貫通細孔65からなるオリフィス手段66と、一端ではピストン62に、他端ではワイヤー43の一端に夫々連結されたピストンロッド67と、ピストンロッド67のシリンダ61内への出入における体積分を補正する空気室68をシリンダ61との間で形成するべく、シリンダ61内に直動自在に配されたフリーピストン69とを具備している。   Although a rotary type was used as the resistance generator 44, a direct acting type may be used instead, as shown in FIGS. The resistance force generator 44 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 includes a cylinder 61 as one linear moving body, a piston 62 as the other linear moving body that is relatively movable relative to the cylinder 61, and the cylinder 61 and the piston. Two spaces 63 and 64 which are interposed between 62 and whose volumes increase and decrease complementarily by the relative linear motion of the piston 62 with respect to the cylinder 61, and a viscous liquid 57 accommodated in the two spaces 63 and 64 And an orifice composed of a through-hole 65 that generates a resistance force having a magnitude corresponding to the flow velocity of the liquid 57 flowing into and out of the two spaces 63 and 64 that increase and decrease by the relative linear movement of the piston 62 with respect to the cylinder 61. Means 66, a piston rod 67 connected to the piston 62 at one end and one end of the wire 43 at the other end, and the piston rod 67 to enter and exit the cylinder 61 To the air chamber 68 to correct the kick volume fraction is formed between the cylinder 61, and a free piston 69 linearly movable in arranged in the cylinder 61.

図5及び図6に示す抵抗力発生器44を用いる場合には、ワイヤー43の他端は、背凭れ4のフレームに固着されており、シリンダ61は、他のワイヤー75を介して鉤部材22に連結されており、抵抗力発生器44を初期状態に設定するコイルばね45は、シリンダ61内においてピストンロッド67を囲繞してシリンダ61とピストン62との間に配されている。   When the resistance force generator 44 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is used, the other end of the wire 43 is fixed to the frame of the backrest 4, and the cylinder 61 is connected to the saddle member 22 via another wire 75. The coil spring 45 that is connected to the cylinder and sets the resistance generator 44 in the initial state surrounds the piston rod 67 in the cylinder 61 and is disposed between the cylinder 61 and the piston 62.

図5及び図6に示す抵抗力発生器44を用いた車両用シート1では、座席シート3への乗員の着座で背凭れ4に車両の後方への乗員の通常の荷重が付加される場合又は座席シート3に着座した乗員への車両の通常の加速による背凭れ4への車両の後方への乗員の荷重の追加の場合においては、背凭れ4へのこれらの荷重は緩慢になされる結果、乗員の斯かる荷重を受ける荷重受板37は、軸35を中心として緩慢に回動される。荷重受板37のこの緩慢な回動でアーム41が同じく緩慢に回動されてアーム41の先端にスリーブ42を介して係合されたワイヤー43に撓みが生じると、ワイヤー43の一端及びピストンロッド67を介してピストン62がシリンダ61に対して直動されようとする。この直動は、貫通細孔65を介して空間63から空間64へのゆっくりとした液体57の流動を生じさせる結果、大きな抵抗力を生じさせないで行われ、而して、支持部材17の先端への当接、係合を解除するような鉤部材22の回動を生じさせる引張力がワイヤー43に生じなく、禁止機構7はヘッドレスト5の前方のR1方向の回動を禁止し、ヘッドレスト5は、通常の位置に維持される。   In the vehicle seat 1 using the resistance force generator 44 shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, when a passenger's normal load to the back of the vehicle is applied to the backrest 4 when the passenger sits on the seat seat 3 or In the case of the addition of the occupant's load to the backrest 4 due to the normal acceleration of the vehicle to the occupant seated in the seat 3, these loads on the backrest 4 are made slow, The load receiving plate 37 that receives such a load of the occupant is slowly rotated about the shaft 35. When the arm 41 is also slowly rotated by this slow rotation of the load receiving plate 37 and the wire 43 engaged with the tip of the arm 41 via the sleeve 42 is bent, one end of the wire 43 and the piston rod The piston 62 tends to be moved directly with respect to the cylinder 61 via 67. This linear movement is performed without causing a large resistance force as a result of the slow flow of the liquid 57 from the space 63 to the space 64 through the through-hole 65, and thus the tip of the support member 17. A pulling force that causes rotation of the eaves member 22 to release contact and engagement with the wire 43 is not generated in the wire 43, and the prohibiting mechanism 7 prohibits rotation in the R <b> 1 direction in front of the headrest 5. Is maintained in its normal position.

また図5及び図6に示す車両用シート1では、追突されて座席シート3に着座した乗員へ後方への大きな加速度が生じて、荷重受板37が急激に軸35を中心として回動されると、ワイヤー43に急速な撓みが生じ、ワイヤー43の一端及びピストンロッド67を介してピストン62がシリンダ61に対して高速で直動されようとする。この直動は、液体57の空間63から空間64への急速な流動を生じさせる結果、大きな抵抗力を生じさせて、ピストン62とシリンダ61とが互いに剛体連結されたようになり、而して、支持部材17の先端への当接、係合を解除するような鉤部材22の回動を生じさせる引張力がワイヤー43に生じ、禁止機構7の鉤部材22は、支持部材17の先端への当接、係合を解除するように軸21を中心として回動され、ヘッドレスト5は、乗員の頭部を保持するようにR1方向に回動され、斯かる車両用シート1でも、禁止機構7によるヘッドレスト5の前方のR1方向への回動禁止を背凭れ4に加わる一定以上の加速度で解除させる解除手段8が背凭れ4に加わる車両の後方への一定以上の加速度に基づく力を禁止機構7に伝達する一方、背凭れ4に加わる一定以下の車両の後方への加速度に基づく力の禁止機構7への伝達を行わない伝達機構33を有しているので、追突された時等とそうでない時とを的確に識別して追突された時等のみに確実にヘッドレスト5を前方のR1方向に移動させることができる。   Further, in the vehicle seat 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a large rearward acceleration is generated in the occupant seated on the seat seat 3 after the rear-end collision, and the load receiving plate 37 is rapidly rotated about the shaft 35. Then, rapid bending occurs in the wire 43, and the piston 62 tends to be linearly moved with respect to the cylinder 61 through one end of the wire 43 and the piston rod 67 at a high speed. This direct movement causes a rapid flow of the liquid 57 from the space 63 to the space 64, and as a result, a large resistance force is generated so that the piston 62 and the cylinder 61 are rigidly connected to each other. Then, the pulling force that causes the pivot of the collar member 22 to release the contact and engagement with the tip of the support member 17 is generated in the wire 43, and the collar member 22 of the prohibiting mechanism 7 moves to the tip of the support member 17. The headrest 5 is rotated in the R1 direction so as to hold the head of the occupant so as to release the contact and engagement of the vehicle. The release means 8 that releases the prohibition of the rotation of the headrest 5 in the R1 direction forward by 7 at a predetermined acceleration applied to the backrest 4 prohibits a force based on a predetermined acceleration beyond the vehicle applied to the backrest 4. While transmitting to mechanism 7, Since it has a transmission mechanism 33 that does not transmit force to the prohibition mechanism 7 based on the rearward acceleration of the vehicle that is applied to the droop 4 below a certain level, it accurately discriminates between when it is impacted and when it is not Thus, the headrest 5 can be reliably moved in the forward R1 direction only when the rear-end collision occurs.

図5及び図6に示す抵抗力発生器44では、シリンダ61を他のワイヤー75を介して鉤部材22に連結したが、これに代えて、シリンダ61を直接に鉤部材22に回動自在に連結してもよく、他のワイヤー75をスリーブ42に挿通する一方、ピストンロッド67を背凭れ4のフレームに回動自在に連結してもよい。   In the resistance generator 44 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the cylinder 61 is connected to the flange member 22 via another wire 75, but instead, the cylinder 61 can be directly rotated to the flange member 22. Alternatively, the other wire 75 may be inserted into the sleeve 42 while the piston rod 67 may be pivotally connected to the frame of the backrest 4.

上記の車両用シート1のいずれの例でも、ヘッドレスト5の前方のR1方向への移動後、ヘッドレスト5を強制的にR1方向と逆の方向に回動させ、支持部材17の先端を鉤部材22の傾斜案内面81に摺動させて鉤部材22を逆転させることにより、支持部材17の先端の鉤部材22への当接、係合を復帰させることができる。なお、前記の例では、ワイヤー43及び/又は75を用いたが、これに代えて、歯車機構、ラック−ピニオン機構等を用いてもよい。   In any example of the vehicle seat 1 described above, after the headrest 5 is moved in the forward R1 direction, the headrest 5 is forcibly rotated in a direction opposite to the R1 direction, and the tip of the support member 17 is moved to the flange member 22. By sliding the heel member 22 in the reverse direction by sliding it on the inclined guide surface 81, the contact and engagement of the tip of the support member 17 with the heel member 22 can be restored. In the above example, the wires 43 and / or 75 are used, but a gear mechanism, a rack-pinion mechanism, or the like may be used instead.
