Power seat operation device and power seat

摘要

A power seat operation device is configured in such a manner that, when a dial member is rotated and operated, a movable mechanism which is to be operated is selected from among movable mechanisms. When a switch member is rotated and operated, the selected movable mechanism is actuated. The switch member is rotated and operated about a rotation axis extending in the widthwise direction of the seat. Thus the direction of operation of the switch member can be aligned with or nearly aligned with both the direction of the actual movement of a seat back when a recliner mechanism is actuated and the direction of the actual movement of an ottoman when an ottoman mechanism is actuated. Also, in a state in which a seat slide mechanism is selected, the direction of the operation of the switch member is aligned with the front-rear direction of the seat.

主权项

1. A power seat operation device comprising:
a selection operation member that is disposed in such a way as to be turnable relative to a power seat, with the turning operation of the selection operation member relative to the power seat being a selection operation that selects a moving mechanism that becomes a target of operation from among a plurality of moving mechanisms disposed in the power seat, the selection operation member comprising an outer peripheral portion and a recessed portion disposed in the outer peripheral portion, the outer peripheral portion defining a virtual circle centered on the turning axis of the selection operation member, the recessed portion being open in a direction away from the turning axis at least at the outer peripheral portion; and an activation operation member that is disposed in such a way as to be turnable about a turning axis of the selection operation member or about a turning axis along that turning axis relative to the selection operation member, with the turning operation of the activation operation member relative to the selection operation member being an activation operation that activates the moving mechanism selected by the selection operation, the activation operation member comprising an operation portion, wherein the operation portion is disposed in the recessed portion.
