Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle seat that can be moved in a vehicle.

  A large number of seats are attached to a bus as a passenger car. Buses are used in various ways depending on the area. In areas where buses are used as the main means of transportation for citizens, buses may be used not only to transport people but also to carry luggage. . In this way, in an area where passengers carry a lot of luggage and carry luggage on a daily basis, a space for luggage may be required in the vehicle instead of a seat.

  In addition, the ratio of people to luggage may vary depending on the destination of the bus and the time of travel. For example, on a bus route that operates between the city and the market, it is conceivable that a large amount of luggage is loaded on the bus on the return bus from the market.

  In ordinary passenger cars, for example, there are vehicles in which the front seat can be moved in the front-rear direction according to the height of the driver, and the seats in the second and third rows can be folded to change the seat layout. Are known. In recent years, there has been known a bus that allows some seats to be flipped up so that wheelchair passengers can be put on the bus.

JP 7-172223 A

  However, on the bus, seats are provided in the vehicle in a predetermined arrangement so that as many people as possible can sit on the seats. Except for seats that can be flipped up, each seat of a bus is usually fixed with screws or the like on the floor material in the vehicle or the seat rail laid on the floor material at the time of manufacture.

  Therefore, even if there is a case where the purpose of use of the bus and the seat arrangement do not match, or there is a case where the amount of luggage increases and the arrangement of the seats needs to be changed, the seat is moved in the vehicle to form a space for loading the luggage, for example. I couldn't do it.

  In addition, it is difficult to manufacture a large number of types of buses in advance according to the demands of each region from the viewpoint of cost and the like. Furthermore, when importing and using vehicles that were used in other regions, it was impossible to match the bus with the actual conditions of the importing region.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and forms a space for placing luggage in the vehicle according to the ratio between the passenger and the luggage, and the vehicle seat that can be easily expanded or reduced. The purpose is to provide.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention has a vehicle seat configured as follows.
Seats installed in passenger cars are installed so that they can move in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, the leg part attached to the seat was provided so that it could move back and forth with respect to the floor, the engaging member was provided on the side of the seat, and the engaging member was assembled to the side wall of the vehicle so that it could move back and forth. A fixing mechanism is provided for each of the leg portion and the engaging member, and the seat can be fixed at an appropriate position by the fixing mechanism.

  Further, the leg portion can be bent with respect to the seating surface. Further, the engaging member can support the seat so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction when the fixing to the side wall is released.

  According to the vehicle seat according to the present invention, a desired number of seats can be moved to the front or rear of the vehicle by releasing the fixing of each fixing mechanism from a state where the seat is arranged at a predetermined position. Thereby, the space | interval of a seat can be narrowed and the space which mounts a load etc. in the position with a seat can be formed.

  By folding the legs with respect to the seat and rotating the seat around the engagement member, the seating surfaces can be stacked and stored, allowing many seats to be stored in a narrow space and a wider space in the vehicle. Can be formed.

The leg portion 16 is attached by the rotation mechanism 18 so that the lower end of the leg portion 16 rotates in the direction of the window 62 close to the seat 10. The lower end of the leg portion 16 is connected to a slide rail 22 on the floor 20.

  The slide rail 22 is fixed on the floor 20 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 50. The lower end of the leg portion 16 is connected to the slide rail 22 so as to be movable along the slide rail 22.

  The leg 16 is provided with a fixing mechanism 24. The fixing mechanism 24 includes a grip portion 26 and a fixing rod 28, and urges the fixing rod 28 by a spring member (not shown), and engages the fixing rod 28 with the slide rail 22 or the floor 20. . The grip part 26 is provided so as to be movable up and down along the leg part 16. The grip portion 26 is connected to a fixed rod 28, and is configured such that when the grip portion 26 is moved upward, the fixed rod 28 moves and the engagement with the slide rail 22 and the like is released.

  The grip portion 26 is engaged with a fixing mechanism (not shown) of the rotation mechanism 18. When the leg portion 16 is deployed substantially perpendicular to the seating surface 12, the grip portion 26 is actuated by a fixing mechanism to hold the deployment of the leg portion 16. And if the grip part 26 is moved upwards, the grip part 26 will cancel | release the effect | action of a fixing mechanism and will make the leg part 16 rotatable.

  Side rails 32 are provided on the side walls 60. The side rail 32 is attached below the window 62 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 50. The slide rail 22 and the side rail 32 are attached in parallel.
