い溝部の一部であるように感じられるようになる。[II] In the pad in the seat portion or the backrest portion of the seat, a groove portion for drawing a skin covered on the pad into the pad is provided on the surface of the pad, and is arranged near the groove portion inside the pad. According to a second aspect of the present invention, a seating sensor for detecting that an occupant is seated on a seat is provided on a surface of a pad when the outer skin drawn into the groove is fixed to the fixing member by a fixing tool. A hole for extending the wiring extending from the seating sensor to the back surface of the pad when the space is arranged between the seat and the skin is provided near the groove. By arranging the hole in the vicinity of the groove as described above, the distinction between the groove and the hole for the occupant when the occupant sits on the seat is different from the configuration in which the hole is arranged at a position away from the groove. This makes it more difficult for the occupant to feel that the hole is a part of the groove, which may be an existing part.

Thus, the vicinity of the hole in the pad is reinforced by the fixing member. Thus, even if the load applied when the occupant sits on the seat is repeatedly applied for a long period of time, generation of cracks and the like near the hole in the pad can be suppressed.

By providing a gentler slope in the groove and arranging the seat sensor and the wiring extending from the seat sensor in the slope, the seat sensor and the wiring extending from the seat sensor at a steep angle I was able to avoid a state of bending. As a result, the portion of the seat sensor and the wiring extending from the seat sensor were bent at a sharp angle at the groove position, and thus extended from the seat sensor and the seat sensor over a long period of use. The possibility of disconnection of the wiring could be reduced, and the durability of the seat provided with the seating sensor could be improved.

Of the effect. According to the feature of claim 3, when the outer skin drawn into the groove is fixed to the fixing member disposed near the groove inside the pad by the fixing tool, the recess for attaching the fixing tool is formed in the groove. And by forming so as to be continuous with the holes, even if wrinkles occur near the holes in the skin, the wrinkles can be made inconspicuous and the quality of the sheet can be improved. .
