The vehicle seat comprises a seat frame means, a cushioned padding means supported on the seat frame means, and a volatile substances-absorbing means capable of absorbing any volatile substances in an interior of a vehicle, the volatile substances-absorbing means being provided on a surface of the cushioned padding means which faces the seat frame means.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the volatile substances-absorbing means comprises a sheet of a nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric may comprise an activated carbon fabric.
- In the vehicle seat constructed as discussed above, the volatile substances-absorbing means is provided on the surface cushioned padding means which faces the seat frame means, so that the volatile substances-absorbing means is subjected to the loading imposed by a passenger sitting on the vehicle seat, and is directly affected by air-exhaust and air-suction which are caused by repeated compression and restoration of the cushioned padding means when the vehicle employing the seat is traveled and subjected to vibration or the like. Therefore, the volatile substances-absorbing means can efficiently absorb and eliminate any volatile substances in the interior of the vehicle.
- Moreover, the volatile substances-absorbing means can prevent the cushioned padding means from being directly contacted with the seat frame means. Therefore, there is no possibility that noise will be produced by rubbing the cushioned padding means against the seat frame means. In addition, the volatile substances-absorbing means is applied onto the surface of the cushioned padding means and housed within the interior of the vehicle seat, so that the volatile substances-absorbing means can easily provide the function of absorbing the volatile substances, to the vehicle seat, without modifying structural members of the vehicle seat and changing the appearance of the vehicle seat.
- The seat frame means may comprise a seat frame for a seat back of the vehicle seat and/or a seat frame for a seat cushion of the vehicle seat. The cushioned padding means may comprise a cushioned padding for the seat back and/or a cushioned padding for the seat cushion. The volatile substances-absorbing means is provided on a surface of the cushioned padding of the seat back which faces the seat frame of the seat back, and/or a surface of the cushioned padding of the seat cushion which faces the seat frame of the seat cushion.
- When the volatile substances-absorbing means is applied to both the cushioned padding of the seat back and the cushioned padding of the seat cushion, volatile substances-absorbing area is increased, so that it is possible to more effectively absorb and eliminate the volatile substances in the interior of the vehicle.
- These and other objects and many of the attendant advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
