1 and 2 show a retractable rear seat according to the present invention. The rear seat 1 includes left and right seat units 1
L and 1R can be stored in the recess 3 of the floor 2 independently. Each of the units 1L and 1R is constituted by rotatably connecting a seat cushion 4 and a seat back 5, and when the seat cushion 4 is raised, it is automatically locked at a position shown in the figure. Each unit 1L, 1R has a seat cushion 4 at each end.
And a leg 6 which is pivotally connected to the back surface of the seat 3 and the bottom surface of the concave portion 3. The striker 7 of the seat cushion 4 is connected to the latch mechanism 8 for setting. Further, an armrest 9 is pivotally connected to the seat back 5 of the left seat unit 1L with a pin 10. The storage of the rear seat 1 is performed by tilting the seat back 5 forward and folding it over the seat cushion 4, unlocking the latch mechanism 8, and tilting the leg 6 forward.

[0007] As shown in FIG.
These carpets 11 extend below the lower end of the seat back 5 and cover the gap A with the seat cushion 4. Among them, the left carpet 11 is formed wider than the right carpet, and the right end thereof is folded back to make a hook-and-loop fastener (registered trademark name “Magic Tape”)
13 is stuck. That is, when the armrest 9 is set, the carpet 11 is kept out of the way.

On the other hand, left and right seat units 1L, 1R
Is stored, the folded portion 11b of the left carpet 11 is expanded as shown in FIG.
1 may be superimposed on the left end, and both may be attached with the hook-and-loop fastener 13. At this time, the extended portions 11a of the left and right carpets 11 cover the gap A between the seat back 5 and the rear edge of the opening of the concave portion 3.

In the case of a bench-type rear seat in which the left and right seat units are integrated, one carpet may be attached to the back surface of the seat back.

[0010]

As described above, according to the retractable rear seat according to the present invention, a plurality of seat units each having a seat back rotatably coupled to a seat cushion are provided, and a carpet is provided on the back surface of the seat back. Mounting, further comprising a leg pivotally supported by the seat cushion and the floor on the back surface of the seat cushion, further providing a recess in the floor, folding the seat back forward and folding the seat back on In the retractable rear seat in which the leg is tilted forward to store the seat unit in the concave portion, an extended portion extending downward is provided at a lower end of the carpet, and a carpet attached to a seat back of the seat unit is provided. Of which, the carpet on one side is formed wider than the seat back,
The carpet is folded back and fixed to the seat back, so that when the seat unit is stored in the recess, the carpet is folded back and fixed to the seat back of the other seat unit. The following effects can be obtained. That is, in the present invention, the gap between the seat back and the seat cushion when the rear seat is set and the rear edge of the opening of the seat cushion and the concave portion when the rear seat is stored by the extension of the lower end of the carpet.
