Referring to the drawings there is illustrated a vehicle according to the invention which is indicated generally by the reference numeral 1. In this embodiment of the invention the vehicle 1 is a jeep in which a goods carrying floor space 2 to the rear has been extended into a drivers area 3 and a front passenger area 4 of the vehicle beneath a drivers seat 5 and a front passengers seat 6, respectively, by an extension floor 7, using a method according to the invention. The extension floor 7 comprises a floor supporting framework 8 also according to the invention of box section steel which is located and secured as will be described below in the drivers and front passenger areas 3 and 4. A floor panel 9 which forms the extension floor is secured to the floor supporting framework 8. The floor supporting framework 8 comprises a rear portion 10 which extends across the floor 11 of the vehicle 1 adjacent the goods carrying space 2. A pair of front portions 12 extend forwardly from the rear portion 10 into the drivers area 3 and the front passenger area 4, respectively. Floor engaging support means which comprise downwardly extending floor engaging supports 15 of box section steel extend downwardly from the front portions 12 of the floor supporting framework 8 for engaging corresponding seat anchoring locations 16 on the floor 11 of the vehicle 1 in the drivers and passenger areas 3 and 4, respectively. The floor engaging supports 15 are adapted for engaging the seat anchoring locations 16 and for being secured thereto in similar fashion to that by which the driver and passenger seats 5 and 6, respectively, are originally anchored. Such mounting arrangements for mounting the driver and passenger seats onto the floor of such a vehicle 1 will be well known to those skilled in the art.
A pair of mounting means for mounting the driver and passenger seats 5 and 6 to the floor supporting framework 8 comprises a pair of seat carriers 19 onto which the respective driver and passenger seats 5 and 6 are secured. The seat carriers 19 are slidably carried on the floor supporting framework 8 on telescoping slidable rails 20. A pair of spaced apart rails 20 are provided for each seat carrier 19. The seat carriers 19 are welded to one of the rails of each of the telescoping rails 20, while the others of the rails of each of the telescoping rails 20 are welded to the floor supporting framework 8. The mounting of the seat carriers 19 on the telescoping rails 20 facilitates forward and rearward adjustment of the driver and passenger seats 5 and 6.
A locking mechanism (not shown) for locking the seat carriers 19 at a desired position is also provided for each seat, and each locking mechanism is operable by a corresponding lever (not shown) which is pivotally carried on the floor supporting framework 8. The lever (not shown) of each seat carrier 19 is located on the outer side of the floor supporting framework 8 corresponding to the seat.
A pair of anchoring means for anchoring the seatbelt receivers 25 for the driver and passenger seats 5 and 6 comprises a pair of anchor brackets 26 which are secured to the floor supporting framework 8. The anchor brackets 26 are located on the floor supporting framework 8 adjacent the inner side of the corresponding seats 5 or 6 which is adjacent a central tunnel 27 of the vehicle 1. In this embodiment of the invention each seatbelt receiver 25 is of the type which comprises a retracting mechanism 28 which retracts a carrier cable 29 on which the seatbelt receiver 25 is carried in the event of the vehicle 1 being subjected to an impact. Such retracting mechanisms 28 and their operation will be well known to those skilled in the art. The retracting mechanisms 28 are provided for urging the corresponding seat belt, and in turn an occupant into the seat in the event of an impact for preventing injury to the occupant of the seat from an air bag. A housing 30 of each seatbelt receiver 25 is secured to the corresponding anchor bracket 26 by a screw 32 through the housing 30 and the anchor bracket 26.
An impact monitoring means which in this embodiment of the invention is provided by an inertia switch (not shown) for monitoring for an impact is located on the central tunnel 27, and the retracting mechanism 28 is responsive to the inertia switch, so that in the event of the vehicle being involved in an accident, on the impact of the accident, the retracting mechanism 28 is operated in response to the inertia switch for retracting the seatbelt receiver 25.
To mount the extension floor 7 in the vehicle 1 the following procedure is adopted. The driver and passenger seats 5 and 6 together with their conventional mounting arrangements, namely, slidable runners, etc. are removed from the vehicle 1, thus, exposing the floor 11 of the vehicle 1 in the drivers area 3 and the passenger area 4. The floor supporting framework 8 with the seat carriers 19 slidably mounted by the telescoping rails 20 on the floor supporting framework 8, and with the anchor brackets 28 also secured on the floor supporting framework 8 is located in the vehicle 1 so that the rear portion 10 of the floor supporting framework 8 extends across the vehicle to the rear of the drivers area 3 and passenger area 4, and the front portions 12 are located in the drivers area 3 and the passenger area 4. The floor engaging supports 15 are located on the seat anchoring locations 16 and secured thereto. The seatbelt receivers 25 are secured to the floor supporting framework 8 by securing the housing 30 of the seatbelt receivers 25 to the anchor brackets 26 by the screws 32. The inertia switch (not shown) is secured to the central tunnel 27 and electrically connected to the retracting mechanism 28. This procedure will be known to those skilled in the art. The driver and passenger seats 5 and 6 are then secured to the seat carriers 19, and the floor panel 9 is secured to the floor supporting framework 8 by suitable fastening means, for example, self-tamper screws, pop rivets or the like. As can be seen pairs of spaced slots 33 are provided in the floor panel 9 for accommodating the frames 34 of the driver and passenger seats 5 and 6.
The advantages of the invention are many. A particularly important advantage achieved by the invention is that as well as extending the goods carrying floor space of the vehicle, additional safety for both the driver and passenger is provided. By virtue of the fact that the anchoring means for anchoring the seatbelt receiver is secured to the floor supporting framework, the seatbelt receiver is securely anchored to the vehicle, and there is little danger of an occupant of either the driver or passenger seats being catapulted through the front windscreen or otherwise of the vehicle in the event of an accident.
This is a particular advantage over known methods for anchoring seatbelt receivers, which, in general, are anchored to the seat. In such cases, should the seat come adrift as a result of an impact, the seat and passenger may be catapulted through the front windscreen or otherwise of the vehicle, in the event of an accident. Since by virtue of the fact that the floor supporting framework is securely mounted to the floor of the vehicle 1 there is little danger of the floor supporting framework coming adrift from the vehicle, and thus, no danger of the anchoring means and seatbelt receivers coming adrift in the event of an impact.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment hereinbefore described which may be varied in construction and detail.
