Description

This invention relates to a temporary harness holding structure for a seat. A vehicle seat is conventionally known in which a pair of slits each have one end serving as the starting point and the other end serving as the ending point, with the other end positioned downstream of the one end in the routing direction of the connecting member, and a virtual straight line connecting the one end and the other end intersecting the routing direction of the connecting member at an inclination, and the slit portion connecting the one end and the other end is formed in a bent or curved shape while being spaced apart from the virtual straight line, and a connecting member is inserted through the pair of slits (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-056580 This is a schematic rear view showing the harness temporary holding structure according to this embodiment.This is a schematic side view showing the harness temporary holding structure according to this embodiment.This is a schematic rear view showing a temporary harness holding structure using a plate, relating to a comparative example. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. For convenience of explanation, in each figure, the arrow UP indicates the upward direction of the sheet, the arrow FR indicates the forward direction of the sheet, and the arrow LH indicates the left direction of the sheet. Therefore, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, the directions of up/down, front/back, and left/right refer to the up/down, front/back, and left/right directions of the sheet. Furthermore, the left/right direction is synonymous with the sheet width direction. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the harness temporary holding structure 10 according to this embodiment is provided, for example, on a vehicle seat 12. The seat 12 has a seat cushion 14 on which an occupant sits. The seat cushion 14 is constructed by covering a seat pad 16, which is supported by a seat cushion frame (not shown), with a surface material 18. Furthermore, this seat 12 incorporates a seat belt reminder and a seat heater (not shown), and a harness 20 extending from the seat belt reminder and seat heater is routed out from the underside (bottom) of the seat cushion 14. A connector 22 is provided at the end of the harness 20 for electrical connection to a vehicle body connector (not shown). The connector 22 has a roughly rectangular cross-section, larger than the outer diameter of the harness 20 when viewed from the direction of its extension (see Figure 2). Furthermore, a fabric-like (carpet-like) retaining member 24 is attached to the underside (bottom) of the seat cushion 14, specifically at one end of the upholstery 18 in the seat width direction, by sewing it into a cylindrical shape of a predetermined length. The retaining member 24 is positioned so that its axial direction aligns with the seat width direction, and a predetermined area on the rear side of the retaining member 24, including the outer end in the seat width direction (the downstream end in the insertion direction of the harness 20), is not sewn to the upholstery 18. In other words, the retaining member 24 is sewn to the surface 18 only in a predetermined area, including its rear end in the seat width direction (the upstream end in the insertion direction of the harness 20) (hereinafter referred to as the "sewn portion 28"), and a slit portion 26 is formed in the remaining area along the seat width direction (the insertion direction of the harness 20). That is, the predetermined area including the outer end of the retaining member 24 in the seat width direction is formed in a roughly "C" shape in cross-section and is configured to be more expandable than the predetermined area including the inner end of the retaining member 24 in the seat width direction (see Figure 2). Furthermore, the retaining member 24 is formed to be longer than the length of the connector 22 so that at least the connector 22 is always hidden when the harness 20 is inserted. Also, the length of the stitched portion 28 in the retaining member 24 is approximately half the length along the axial direction of the retaining member 24 so that the shape of the retaining member 24 on the slit portion 26 side (approximately a "C" shape in cross-section) is maintained (see Figure 1). Thus, the "cylindrical" shape in this embodiment includes cases where only a portion of the retaining member 24 along its axial direction is cylindrical. Furthermore, the length of the slit portion 26 is longer than the length of the connector 22. The inner diameter of the retaining member 24 is several times larger than the outer diameter of the connector 22 when viewed from the direction of extension of the harness 20 (the axial direction of the retaining member 24). Therefore, the harness 20, with its connector 22 at the front, can be loosely inserted (inserted with ample cleara
