Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a seat belt retractor for an automobile.

<Prior Art> As for a seat belt provided in a rear seat of an automobile, the seat belt is generally taken out from a gap between a backrest and a seat portion and placed on the seat portion.

In order to improve such an unattractive appearance, there is a backrest provided with a recess for accommodating a seat belt.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> With the seatbelt storage recess formed on the backrest, the seatbelt can be stored but the exposed opening impairs the aesthetics of the seat. There is.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides a seatbelt storage device that solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the gist of the configuration is a case body for seatbelt storage having an opening at the front. Is embedded in the backrest of the seat, and a lid is slidably provided in the opening of the case body by a spring so that the lid is urged in the opening direction at all times. In the closed position, a hook that engages with the protrusion is rotatably supported, and a lever that pivots the hook in the releasing direction from the protrusion by the seating load of the seat is provided on the hook.

<Operation> With the above configuration, the lid closes the opening of the case body when the occupant is not seated in the seat, and the hook engages with the protrusion to lock the closed state of the lid, and the seat stored in the case body. When the occupant is seated on the belt seat, the hook is disengaged from the protrusion by the load to release the lock, and the lid is automatically opened by the pulling force of the spring.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First
In the figure, 1 is a seat, 2 is its seat, and 3 is a backrest. 4 shows a seat belt storage device according to the present invention.

The structure of the seat belt storage device 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. A case body 5 has an opening 6 on the front surface thereof. The case body 5 is embedded in a backrest 10 as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 7 is a lid that opens and closes the opening 6. The lid 7 is provided in the opening 6 so as to be vertically slidable. That is, a shaft 9 extending in the left-right direction is fixed to the lower end of the lid 7, and vertically long guide grooves 10a, 10b are formed in both left and right side walls of the case body 5, and the shaft is provided in the guide grooves 10a, 10b. 9 is guided through both ends. Therefore, the lid 7
Is opened and closed by sliding in the vertical direction by the shaft 9 guided by the guide grooves 10a and 10b. The lid 7 is always biased in the opening direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the means has a structure in which one end of the spring 8 is connected to one end of the shaft 9 and the other end of the spring 8 is connected to the upper end of the side wall of the case body 5.

Also, the shaft 9 to which the spring 8 is coupled
On the side wall of the case body 5 on the side where the shaft 9 projects from the guide groove 10a on the side opposite to the end to which the spring 8 is coupled, a hook 11 that engages with the end of the shaft 9 is provided.
Is rotatably pivotally attached. A lever 12 to which a plate 13 for receiving the seating load of the seat portion 2 of the seat 1 or the backrest 3 is attached is coupled to the hook 9. The plate 13 is inserted into the seat portion 2 or the backrest 3. Fifteen
Is a pinion provided on the upper end of the side wall of the case body 5,
The tooth profile 16 provided on the lid 7 is meshed with this to provide a cushioning action at the open end of the lid 7.

Since the present invention has the structure as described above, the case body 5
When the seat belt 14 is stored inside and the lid 7 is closed, the lower end of the lid 7 is hooked with a fingertip and pulled down, and the hook 11 is engaged with the shaft 9 and locked. At this time the spring 8
Has an elastic force that urges the lid 7 in the opening direction.

When the seatbelt is worn, the occupant is seated on the seat, and the seating load is applied to the seat portion 2 or the backrest 3.
This seating load is received by the plate 13 at the tip of the lever 12,
The lever 12 rotates the hook 11. This hooks 11
Releases the engagement with the shaft 9 and unlocks the lid 7. The lid 7 that has been unlocked is automatically pulled up in the opening direction by the pulling force of the spring 8 to open the opening 6 of the case body 5 so that the seat belt 14 can be taken out. In addition, at the rear end of the lid 7 opened, the pinion 15
And the tooth profile 16 that meshes with the cushioning effect provide a quiet opening operation.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the case main body for storing the seat belt having the opening in the front is embedded in the backrest of the seat, and the lid is always opened in the opening by the spring. The lid is biased to be slidable, a protrusion is provided on the side of the lid, and a hook that engages with the protrusion is rotatably pivotally supported on the case body at the closed position of the lid. The seat belt accommodated in the case body is concealed by closing the lid because the lever for rotating the hook in the releasing direction from the projection by the seating load of
Improves the appearance of the rear seats. Further, when the occupant sits on the seat, the closed lid is automatically released by the seating load, so that the seat belt can be taken out easily. Furthermore, since the entire device is embedded in the backrest and the same skin as that of the backrest is applied, the feeling of discomfort is eliminated and the appearance is improved.
