  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 3, the cap 5 constitutes a part of the belt guide portion 4 </ b> C formed on the lid cover 4, and is continuous with the belt guide portion 4 </ b> C of the portion formed on the lid cover 4. The belt guide portion 5A has a mountain-like protruding shape. The cap 5 is a part formed on the lid cover 4 by a belt guide portion 5A that covers the base portion 4D with respect to the exterior and protrudes in a mountain shape by being assembled to the upper portion of the base portion 4D. A belt-like protruding shape that is continuous with the belt guide portion 4C is formed. The belt guide portion 5A formed on the cap 5 has a shape in which the protruding height of the mountain gradually decreases from the front end side toward the rear end side. As shown in FIG. 8, a plate-like insertion projecting from the rear end of the cap 5 where the protruding height of the crest of the cap 5 is lowered and projecting downward in a stepped manner toward the rear side. A claw 5B is formed, and an engaging claw 5C having a claw shape protruding forward is formed on the standing surface portion on the front end side where the protruding height of the mountain is high. The engaging claws 5C are formed with elasticity that can be bent and deformed in the front-rear direction with respect to the standing surface portion.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the cap 5 is attached to the base portion 4D as follows. First, the cap 5 is tilted so as to be rearwardly lowered, and the insertion claw 5B formed at the rear end portion of the cap 5 is inserted into the rear end portion of the base portion 4D. It is inserted into the hole 4D2 (the phantom line state in the figure). Next, using the inserted rear end (insertion claw 5B) as a fulcrum, the cap 5 is turned down so that the engagement claw 5C formed at the front end is connected to the front end of the base 4D. It pushes into engagement hole 4D3 formed in the part.

It becomes a state (solid line state in the figure). As a result, the cap 5 is hooked on the base portion 4D so as to be prevented from coming off.

  When the cap 5 is assembled as described above, as shown in FIG. 1, the edge of the lid cover 4 on the vehicle body wall W side (the left side in the figure) protrudes from the rear end side toward the front end side. A belt guide portion 4C having a shape in which the height increases smoothly is formed. The protruding shape of the belt guide portion 4C is formed such that the width and height of the protrusion protruding in a mountain shape increase from the rear end side toward the front end side. By this protrusion, the belt guide portion 4C causes the seat belt WB to be pulled out from the outer rear part of the seat back SB toward the front side to the slope on the inner side of the protrusion, so that the seat belt WB is moved to the front surface of the seat back SB. It can be held in the state pulled out to the side.

  Accordingly, by hooking and holding the seat belt WB on the belt guide portion 4C, the seat back SB can be tilted forward while the seat belt WB is pulled out to the front side of the seat back SB. When raising the seat back SB that has been tilted, the edge of the back side of the seat back SB does not normally hit the tongue of the seat belt WB that is hung on the vehicle body wall W side. You can wake up smoothly.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the torsion spring 6 is set in a state of being twisted between the lever 3 and the base 2, so that the operator is applied to the lever 3 by the spring biasing force that is twisted. A spring biasing force is applied in the direction of gripping and rotating operation (counterclockwise direction in the drawing) to assist the rotation operation of the lever 3. The torsion spring 6 is twisted between the lever 3 and the lever 3 in advance as follows in order to make it easy to set the torsion spring 6 between the lever 3 and the base 2. After the lever 3 is assembled to the base 2, the other end 6B is detached from the temporary engagement portion 3E of the lever 3 as shown in FIG. Thus, the hooks can be hooked by a step-by-step operation of hooking on the main hook 2A2 of the base 2.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the torsion spring 6 has a center at which a coiled portion 6 </ b> C wound around the lever 3 in a coil shape at the center projects from the side 3 </ b> B of the lever 3. One end 6 </ b> A that is passed through the shaft portion 3 </ b> C and bent into a hook shape is hooked and hooked into a concave hooking portion 3 </ b> D formed on the side portion 3 </ b> B of the lever 3. Thereby, the torsion spring 6 is temporarily held in a state in which one end 6 </ b> A and the winding portion 6 </ b> C are engaged with the lever 3. Next, the other end 6B that is the free end of the torsion spring 6 (the other end 6B in the phantom line state in the figure) is twisted with the one end 6A as a base point, and the other end 6A is moved to the one end 6A. Set in a state of being bent in the axial direction so as to be closer to the axial direction toward the axial direction, and hooked so as to be inserted into an L-shaped space of the temporary hooking portion 3E formed on the side portion 3B of the lever 3 To do. As a result, the torsion spring 6 is in a state where one end 6A and the other end 6B thereof are twisted into a state where the torsion spring 6 is hooked on the lever 3 (solid line state in the figure).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the lever 3 with the torsion spring 6 hooked is set in the opening 2A of the base 2, and the lever 3 and the base 2 are inserted through the rotary shaft 3F described above. Are connected to each other. As a result, the lever 3 is in a state in which only the shaft 2 can rotate with respect to the base 2, and is in a state in which the lever 3 is prevented from coming off from the base 2. However, in this state, since the both ends of the torsion spring 6 are hooked on the lever 3, the spring biasing force is not exerted. With the above assembly, as shown in FIG. 17, the temporary hooking portion 3E formed on the side portion 3B of the lever 3 and the other end 6B of the torsion spring 6 hooked on the temporary hooking portion 3E (the phantom line state of FIG. ) Is set in a state of being exposed in a vertically long slit 2A1 penetrating the side surface of the base 2 (a state exposed to the outside). Further, in the slit 2A1, the main hook 2A2 formed on the base 2 described above forms the inner wall of the slit 2A1 so that the main hook 2A2 is also aligned with the temporary hook 3E in the axial direction. It protrudes from the wall surface. The temporary hooking portion 3E and the main hooking portion 2A2 are arranged apart from each other in the axial direction, and even if the temporary hooking portion 3E rotates integrally with the lever 3 by the rotation operation of the lever 3, The relationship does not interfere with each other.

  Next, a finger or an operation tool is inserted into the slit 2A1, and the other end 6B of the torsion spring 6 hooked on the temporary hook 3E is pushed into the back side (the back side of the paper). Remove from the temporary hook 3E. Then, the other end 6B of the torsion spring 6 is moved to the position on the right side in the figure where the main hook 2A2 of the base 2 is located, and the hand is released from the pushed operation at the moved position. As a result, as shown by the solid line state in FIG. 17, the other end 6B of the torsion spring 6 is hooked with its tip being inserted into the L-shaped space of the hook 2A2 by the spring biasing force. Becomes (becomes hooked). Specifically, the other end 6B of the torsion spring 6 is temporarily hooked in the axially bent state with respect to the temporary hook portion 3E of the lever 3 described above. As a result, the restoring force for returning to the free state moves in the axial direction (right side in the figure) where the main hook 2A2 of the base 2 is located. Therefore, the operation of removing the other end 6B of the torsion spring 6 from the temporary hooking portion 3E of the lever 3 and transferring the hooking to the main hooking portion 2A2 of the base 2 can be easily performed by an operation using the restoring force of the torsion spring 6. It can be carried out. Thus, the torsion spring 6 is in a state of being hooked between the lever 3 and the base 2, and is in a state in which a rotational urging force is applied in a direction (forward direction) in which the lever 3 is always rotated.

  Here, when the lever 3 is rotated by receiving the spring biasing force of the torsion spring 6, the movement in the forward rotation direction is such that the lever 3 hits the rubber 2G installed on the bottom plate portion 2F of the base 2 as shown in FIG. It has come to be accepted gently. As shown in FIG. 9, the lever 3 is connected to a lock device 10 provided on the seat back SB by a connecting rod 15, and the lock device 10 is locked to the striker ST provided on the vehicle body wall W described above. When in the activated state, the red display portion 3B1 is held in the rotational position state concealed in the slit 2A1 as being pushed up from the lower side by the connecting rod 15 against the spring biasing force of the torsion spring 6. ing. In this state, the lever 3 is in a state of receiving a rotational urging force by the torsion spring 6 in a direction opposite to the direction pushed upward from the lower side by the connecting rod 15, and there is no backlash due to the action of this urging force. In this state, the initial position is maintained.

  Then, by rotating the lever 3 from this state, the connecting rod 15 is pushed downward, and the lock device 10 is operated so as to release the locked state with the striker ST (see FIG. 10). And by this rotation operation, the red display part 3B1 of the lever 3 mentioned above will be in the state exposed outside from the opening part 2A, and it will be in the state displayed to the user that the locking device 10 is a release state. Even if the lever 3 is released after the release operation, the lever 3 is rotated (the red display portion 3B1 is an opening portion) due to the operation structure (see FIG. 11) in which the lock device 10 is held in the release state. 2A is exposed to the outside). The lever 3 is pushed up by the connecting rod 15 again as shown in FIG. 9 by pushing the seat back SB rearward and pushing the lock device 10 into the striker ST to lock it. Then, it is rotated to return to the initial position state before the rotation operation in which the red display portion 3B1 is hidden in the slit 2A1. As a result, the red display portion 3B1 is hidden in the slit 2A1, and the user can recognize that the lock device 10 is in the locked state.

  Next, the configuration of the locking device 10 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the lock device 10 includes a base plate 11, a latch 12, a pole 13, and a tension spring 14. The base plate 11 is provided so as to be integrally fixed to the frame SF of the seat back SB, and has a recess 11A that can receive the striker ST at the rear edge thereof. The latch 12 is connected to the base plate 11 by a support shaft 12E so that the shaft can rotate. The latch 12 includes an upper jaw 12A, a lower jaw 12B, a hanging portion 12C, and a corner portion 12D. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, the upper jaw 12 </ b> A is held in a state of protruding into the recess 11 </ b> A of the base plate 11 described above when the lock device 10 is released, and the striker ST enters the recess 11 </ b> A. Accordingly, the latch 12 is pushed and rotated by this movement to rotate the latch 12 in the lock operating direction (clockwise direction in the drawing).

  As shown in FIG. 9, the lower jaw 12B is retracted to a position disengaged from the recess 11A of the base plate 11 when the lock device 10 is released, and the striker ST enters the recess 11A and the latch 12 rotates. In addition, the concave portion 11A is covered and locked behind the striker ST so as to prevent the striker ST from coming out of the concave portion 11A. One end of the tension spring 14 is hung on the hanging portion 12C. The corner portion 12D is formed in a stepped shape on the outer peripheral portion of the latch 12, and the striker ST enters the recess portion 11A as shown in FIG. 9 from the unlocked state of the locking device 10 as shown in FIG. When the latch 12 is rotated, a corner 13A of a pole 13 (described later) is dropped below the step, thereby restricting the return rotation of the latch 12.

  The pole 13 is arranged in the radial direction with the latch 12 described above, and is connected to the base plate 11 by a support shaft 13C so as to be axially rotatable. The pole 13 has a corner portion 13A and a hook portion 13B. As shown in FIG. 11, the corner portion 13 </ b> A is formed so as to protrude in a step shape on the side surface portion of the pole 13 formed in an arm shape, and when the lock device 10 is in the released state, the spring force of the tension spring 14 is used. These are held in a state of being pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the pole 13 described above. As shown in FIG. 9, when the striker ST enters the recess 11A and the latch 12 rotates, the corner 13A is rotated by the rotation of the tension spring 14 that receives the spring biasing force of the latch 12D. It is dropped below the step to restrict the return rotation of the latch 12, and the striker ST is held between the lower jaw 12B of the latch 12 and the recess 11A of the base plate 11 (locked state).
