Description

  The present invention relates to a cushion side part mounting structure and a mounting method for a rear seat, which can easily set up a rear seat for a vehicle type in which a cross member is reinforced.

  Conventionally, in sedan-type vehicles, when the rear seat cushion is assembled to the body floor at the rear of the passenger compartment, the rear side is inserted into the seat back frame with the engaging portion protruding in an inverted U shape, and the front side is similar. Usually, the engaging portion is inserted into a clip on the body floor and fixed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, in order to improve the side collision performance, recently, a vehicle type that reinforces the cross member on the body floor is being developed. For example, a reinforcing member is added to both side portions of the cross member to suppress the amount of entry of the door panel or the side panel at the time of a side collision. Therefore, in order to suppress the amount of entry at the time of a side collision, it is necessary to bring the reinforcing member as close to the door panel as possible.

However, in the case of a conventional type rear seat cushion, there is a pad material serving as a cushion on the side portion, and as it is, it interferes with the reinforcing member. For this reason, in order to add a reinforcing member, it is necessary to eliminate the pad material or make it as thin as possible to avoid interference, but there is a problem that the seat cover cannot be firmly assembled to the seat side portion.
Therefore, even if the cross member is reinforced with a reinforcing member or the cross member itself is extended and the gap between the door panel and the like is narrow, a new rear seat that can be securely assembled to the seat side part The development of the cushion side part mounting structure is currently awaited.
