DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger seat with a carrier of an open car arranged on the side of a driver's seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that a carrier of an open car is mounted on a trunk portion or a deck rack. On the other hand, in the case of a single passenger, a separate tonneau cover is also attached to the passenger seat portion of the open car.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, the present invention provides a passenger seat with a carrier for an open car in which the seat back portion of the passenger seat functions as a tonneau cover and a carrier that can hold a long object. The purpose is to provide.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve this object, the front end of the cushion of the passenger seat is hinged to the floor, and the lower end of the seat back is hinged to the rear end of the cushion. A thin box-shaped carrier plate having a shape corresponding to the back and attached to the back of the seat back is attached to the back of the seat back. The sliding carrier plate pulled out of the box is supported in a substantially horizontal direction with the end portion turned upward and further rotated forward so as to position the seat back in a substantially horizontal direction. So, on the body behind the passenger seat,
It is characterized in that a plate support is configured to removably engage and support the lower end of the slide-type carrier plate.

[0005]

[Function] Rotate the rear end of the cushion upward,
With the seat back pivoted forward and positioned almost horizontally, pull out the slide-type carrier plate from the inside of the seat back box and support the rear end with the plate support of the body part behind the box. The surface of the carrier plate and the surface of the slide-type carrier plate are connected in a plate shape to function as a tonneau cover.
Further, an object can be placed as a carrier on the surfaces of the two connected carrier plates.

[0006]

1 to 4 show a passenger seat with a carrier of an open car according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the front end of the cushion 2 of the passenger seat 1 is hinged to the floor, and the lower end of the seat back 3 is also hinged to the rear end of the cushion 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the cushion 2 is supported by a rotating shaft 6 provided on a rail 2a, and is arranged on the circumference thereof and is hinged to a tooth profile 6a by a pin 7a with a pin 7a. Is provided with a lock mechanism that meshes with the tooth profile 7b of the circular tip portion. Then, in the normal state, it is urged in the engagement direction by the tension spring 8, and when the lever 7 is turned upward, it is unlocked and the cushion 2 can be turned forward. A lock mechanism 9 having a similar structure is also provided at the lower end of the seat back 3. The lock mechanism 9 is unlocked when the lever 9 a is rotated forward, and is locked by releasing the lever 9 a in a predetermined forward tilt state. Has become. Thus, the cushion 7 is unlocked by operating the lever 7 and the stopper 7d is brought into contact with the floor 5 and locked.
The seat back 3 is turned forward by operating the lever 9a,
Position where the tip abuts on the front body part (Fig. 5)
, The seat back 3 is supported in a substantially horizontal state.

A thin box-shaped carrier plate 10 having a space and a shape corresponding to the back surface is mounted on the back surface of the seat back 3.
As shown in FIG. 3, another slide-type carrier plate 20 is retractable so that it can be pulled out downward. The guide rail 1 is provided on the surface of the carrier plate 10.
1, and a guide rail 21 is also provided on the surface of the carrier plate 20 so as to be slidably inserted into the rail. These guide rails also function as carrier partitions. These carrier plates are formed of, for example, a rigid resin so as to have rigidity that can function as a carrier. Hooks 19 (FIG. 1) for locking the carrier belt 31 are provided on both sides of the seat back 3, and similarly, hooks 29 are attached to both sides of the carrier plate 20.

In the body behind the passenger seat 1,
As shown in FIG. 4, a plate support is provided in which the lower end portion of the carrier plate 20 is placed and detachably engaged. That is, a drawer handle 22 protrudes from a rear portion of the carrier plate 20, and an L-shaped lock lever 23 is hinged inside thereof. The lock lever has a claw 24 formed at the tip thereof, and urges the claw 24 downward by a spring (not shown). A plate supporting surface 27 on which the carrier plate 20 is placed and a locking groove 25 for locking the claw 24 are formed in the body part on the back. When the upper portion of the lock lever 23 is pressed, the lock lever 23 is pivoted to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line and disengaged.

The operation of the seat constructed as described above will be described with reference to FIG. When functioning as a tonneau cover, the lever 2 is operated to tilt and support the cushion 2 forward, and the seat back 3 is turned and supported in a horizontal state by operating the lever 9a, and the carrier plate 20 is pulled out by grasping the handle 22. As shown in FIG. 5, the claw 24 is locked by being placed on the plate supporting surface 27 at the back. As a result, a tonneau cover corresponding to the width of the seat back 3 and connected to the rear body is formed. This allows
It can also improve the warmth of the feet during heating. In this state, it can be used as a carrier, and a long object, for example, a surfboard 30 is placed on the carrier plates 10 and 20, and the belt 31 is locked to the hooks 19 and 29, as shown in FIG. 5B. By mounting.

The pivot and lock structure for tilting and supporting the cushion 2 forward and forward can be variously conceived in addition to the embodiment described above. Also, guide rails 11, 2
It is also conceivable to abolish 1 or to form partitions at both edges of the surface of the box-shaped carrier plate.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the case of a single passenger, the passenger seat is converted into a tonneau cover by connecting both carrier plates behind the tongue cover, and the tonneau cover is particularly long. It can be used as a carrier. Even in a normal state, the carrier is partially stored in the seat back, so that the carrier does not bulk up, the appearance at the time of mounting is improved as compared with the conventional mounting state, and a longer object can be mounted using the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
