The present invention relates to a long-distance bus or a sightseeing bus that allows the user to relax and enjoy the scenery outside the window or enjoy conversation with a person in the next seat.

Conventionally, long-distance travel buses for sightseeing spots using buses, night flights and daytime flights have been used. These long-distance buses and sightseeing buses need to stay in a narrow car for a long time, and are devised in various ways to relax and enjoy the outside scenery, and to sleep and rest . Route buses, which are mainly used for short-distance travel, often have entrance doors and exit doors in separate locations, but sightseeing buses and long-distance buses are less frequent for people to enter and exit. Since it is necessary to secure a large space, a structure in which one entrance / exit is provided beside the front driver's seat and the seat space is large is often adopted. In order to relax and rest while moving, there are many cases where the backrest is reclining, and as in Patent Document 1, the seats are arranged diagonally so that the scenery outside the window is easily visible Has also been devised.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(Embodiment 1)

  FIG. 1 is a reference perspective view showing a state in which the backrest 11 of the seat 1 of the bus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is raised. FIG. 2 is a reference perspective view showing a state in which the backrest 11 of the seat 1 of the bus 100 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a seat 1 capable of reclining the backrest 11 is disposed on the window side of the bus 100. The seat 1 is a reclining seat 1 used in trains and buses. In trains and buses, the angle of tilting the backrest 11 is generally 25 degrees to 30 degrees in consideration of the space with the front, rear, left and right seats, but the bus 100 of the first embodiment is 180 degrees, that is, A seat 1 is used that can tilt the backrest 11 until it is substantially flat with the seating surface.

  The seat 1 is provided with a footrest 13. The upper end of the footrest 13 is rotatably attached to the lower end of the seating surface 12. If the lower end of the footrest 13 is held by hand and lifted as it is, the footrest 13 can be fixed at an angle parallel to the floor surface. The footrest 13 is used when taking off shoes and putting a foot on and relaxing.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the armrest 14 of the seat 1 is rotatably attached to the backrest 11, and the backrest 11 can be brought down. The tilt angle of the backrest 11 can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. When the backrest 11 is completely tilted, the angle can be set to 180 degrees, that is, an angle that makes the seat 12 flat. The armrest 14 is rotatably attached to the backrest 11, and when the backrest 11 is tilted until it becomes flat, the armrest 14 may be adjusted to an angle parallel to the seat surface 12.

  The footrest 13 may be flat so as to be the same height as the seating surface 12 like the backrest 11 or may be inclined obliquely downward as shown in FIG. When reclining the backrest 11 with the shoes on, it is easier to keep the footrest 13 at a slightly downward angle.

  FIG. 3 is a reference diagram showing the seat arrangement of the bus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and the seat 1 shows a state in which the backrest 11 is raised. FIG. 4 is a reference diagram showing the seat arrangement of the bus 100 shown in FIG. 3, and the seat 1 shows a state in which the backrest 11 is tilted. FIG. 5 is a reference diagram showing a use state of the bus 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of part A of FIG. FIG. 7 is a right side view of the bus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The bus 100 according to the first embodiment can use two different seat arrangements. The first seating arrangement is a seating arrangement that allows passengers to sit on their seats, such as daytime flights that want to accommodate a large number of passengers, when you want to focus on enjoying the scenery outside the window rather than taking time to sleep. use.

The angle formed by the window and the lower side of the seating surface 12 of the seat 1 is about 30 degrees. The angle formed by the window and the lower side of the seating surface 12 is preferably between 20 degrees and 40 degrees, and the optimum angle is 30 degrees. If the seat 1 is arranged at this angle, it is easy to see the outside from the window, and the direction of travel of the bus (front) can also be seen, so that it is possible to enjoy the conversation with the eyes of the neighbors.

  In the central part of the bus 100, a spacious space is provided and serves as a passage. In the central space, luggage may be placed or a small table may be installed. A folding simple seat may be provided in the central space.

The backrest 11 may be tilted to a level that is substantially flat with the seating surface 11, or may be simply reclined by about 30 degrees. The angle of the backrest 11 can be tilted to a desired angle and used.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when each person lies on the reclining seat 1, the seat 1 is provided obliquely toward the window side, so that the scenery outside the window can be enjoyed even when lying down. . If the seat is installed facing forward, in order to look out of the window, it is necessary to turn the neck 90 degrees sideways and look out, and the neck and shoulders get tired, but like the seat 1 of the bus 100 If it is installed diagonally toward the window side, you can enjoy the scenery outside the window with your neck straight without turning your neck sideways, and your neck and shoulders will not get tired.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, the bus 200 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a reference diagram showing the seat arrangement of the bus 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and the seat 1 shows a state in which the backrest 11 is raised. FIG. 9 is a reference diagram showing the seat arrangement of the bus 200 shown in FIG. 8, and shows a state in which every other seat 1 is rotated and changed in direction. FIG. 10 is a reference diagram showing a usage state of the bus 200 shown in FIG. 8, and FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a portion B in FIG.

The bus 200 according to the second embodiment can use two different seat arrangements.
