Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a child seat fixing structure for facilitating attachment of a child seat and improving appearance when not in use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A child seat is generally attached to a vehicle seat by a belt or the like. However, in the vehicle seat, since the lower end portion of the seat back is rotatably attached to the rear end portion of the seat cushion via the reclining adjuster, it is not possible to tighten the belt so that the child seat does not become loose in the vehicle seat. It was difficult. Therefore, an anchor for mounting the child seat is provided on the rear end of the seat cushion of the vehicle seat or the frame at the lower end of the seat back. The anchor projects into a notch formed at the rear end of the seat cushion or the lower end of the seat back. A child seat fixing structure has been adopted in which a child seat is attached by locking a locked portion of the child seat at a portion of the anchor that projects into the notch.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a child seat fixing structure of this type. In a vehicle seat 100, a seat cushion 102 provided on a floor 101 and a lower end portion of a rear portion of the seat cushion 102 are rotated. The seat back 103 is movably attached. A cutout hole 104 is provided at the lower end of the seat back 103.
An anchor 1 fixed to the frame 105 of the seat back 103 is formed inside the cutout hole 104.
A part of 06 is projected. On the other hand, on the lower end of the rear portion of the child seat 107, there is provided a locked portion 108 that projects rearward. The locked portion 108 is inserted into the cutout hole 104 and engaged with the anchor 106 so that the child seat is seated. 107 is fixed.

[0004]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional technique, when the child seat 107 is not used, the inside can be seen from the notch hole 104 and the appearance is spoiled.
For this reason, the inner surface of the notch hole 104 must be internally provided, which increases the work and is uneconomical.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems and to provide a child seat fixing structure which facilitates attachment of a child seat and improves the appearance when not in use.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an opening for inserting a mounting member provided in a child seat at a lower end portion of a seat back of a vehicle seat, and the opening is provided. In a child seat fixing structure having a fixing portion for fixing the child seat by locking the attachment member inserted through the opening, the skin material of the vehicle seat is provided so as to cover the front surface of the opening, and the opening is provided. The opening means is provided on the surface material of the front part of the section. Further, according to the present invention, a skin material that covers the front surface of the opening of the vehicle seat is formed so as to be opened by a fastener. Furthermore, the present invention resides in that the position of the fastener is provided at the insertion position of the attachment member provided on the child seat. Furthermore, the opening and closing direction of the fastener is set according to the shape of the attachment member provided on the child seat.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3, a vehicle seat 1 is shown.
Is composed of a seat cushion 2 on which an occupant sits and a seat back 3 which serves as a back of the occupant. The child seat 4 is formed by projecting a pair of attachment members 6 on the back surface of the child seat body 5, and is attached to the vehicle seat 1 via the attachment members 6.

In the vehicle seat 1, openings 7 are formed at the lower end of the seat back 3 into which the attachment members 6 of the child seat 4 are inserted, and the openings 7 are provided at the rear side of the openings 7. , Striker 8 with which the mounting member 6 engages
Is provided. The striker 8 uses a U-shaped rod-shaped member and is fixed to a floor or a component member of the vehicle body. The opening 7 has a through hole formed in the thickness direction of the seat back 3, and a skin material 9 covering the surface of the seat back 3 is provided on the front surface of the opening 7.
The slit 10 is formed in the vertical direction at the center position in the width direction of the. A fastener 11 as an opening means is attached to the slit 10, and when the child seat 4 is not used, the fastener 11 is closed to close the opening 7.

The seat back 3 has a structure in which a reinforcing frame (not shown) is arranged on the back surface of the cushion material 12 as shown in FIG. 4, and the cushion material 12 and the periphery of the frame are covered with a skin material 9. Is. A through hole is formed in the thickness direction of the seat back 3 to form the opening 7, and the skin material 9 is formed on the inner surface of the opening 7.
It is not stretched. On the other hand, the seat cushion 2 is also formed in the same structure as the seat back 3.

A case where the child seat 4 is assembled to the vehicle seat 1 having the above structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 2A, the seat back 3 of the vehicle seat 1 has the front surface of the opening 7 covered with the skin material 9, so that the inside of the opening 7 is outside when the child seat 4 is not used. You can't see it. Next, when the child seat 4 is used, as shown in FIG. 2B, the fastener 11 is opened and the child seat 4 is placed on the seat cushion 2 so that the attachment member 6 is placed inside the opening 7. insert. At this time, the attachment member 6 for the child seat 4
Is inserted into the opening 7 such that the skin material 9 is pushed open at the slit 10 portion. In this way, the lock portion of the attachment member 6 engages with the striker 8 and the child seat 4 is fixed. The child seat 4 is securely fixed to the vehicle seat 1 because the lock portion of the mounting member 6 is engaged and fixed to the striker 8. Further, when removing the child seat 4, the lock portion of the attachment member 6 is released from the striker 8 and the attachment member 6 is opened.
Pull out from. Then, the fastener 11 is closed to close the opening 7 as before. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2A, the opening 7 is completely shielded from the outside.
The appearance can be improved.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the inside of the opening 7 is not visible from the outside when the child seat 4 is not used, so that the appearance can be improved and the inner wall surface of the opening 7 can be improved. The skin material 9 can be omitted. Further, when the child seat 4 is used, the fastener 11 is opened so that the child seat 4 is placed on the seat cushion 2 so that the attachment member 6 is opened.
Since the skin material 9 can be pushed open at the slit 10 portion in the work of inserting the attachment member 6, the attachment member 6 can be easily inserted into the opening portion 7. Then, after pulling out the child seat 4, the fastener 11 can be closed to close the opening 7 as it was, and the opening 7 can be closed. Since it is not necessary to cover the side surface and the ceiling surface, which are the inner surface of the opening 7, with the skin material 9, the workability can be improved and it is economical.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and for example, the direction of the fastener 11 is set to the side as shown in FIG. It may be slanted as shown in FIG. 5 (b), or it may be a fastener 11 as shown in FIG. 5 (c).
It is also possible to provide two in parallel. Further, the skin material 9 covering the opening 7 has a fastener 11 attached to a skin material different from the skin material 9 covering the vehicle seat 1 in advance, and the skin material 9 covering the vehicle seat 1 is covered with the fastener 11. It can also be sewn on and attached. Needless to say, the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.
