Four seat cushions 15a for the rear seats
16a are all flipped up and stored, and leg members 17, 18 described later, which are foldably attached to the lower surfaces of the seat cushions 15a to 16a, respectively, are folded.

One of a pair of bench-type seats 15, 15 facing each other in front of the suspension towers 14, 14, for example, the left (lower in FIG. 3) seat 15,
As shown in FIG. 3 in which only the seat cushion is drawn, the seat cushion 15a of the left seat 15 is provided so as to be rotatable about 90 ° in a horizontal plane. 1
5a, a sheet having an L-shaped planar shape is formed.

In order to rotationally move the left sheet 15, a sheet rotation moving mechanism 20 including two long and short link members 21 and 22 and a slider 23 is provided as shown in FIGS. I have.

One (longer) link member 21 is pivotally supported at its base end near the suspension tower 14 of the vehicle body 1 in a horizontal plane, and its tip end is at the lower rear edge of the seat 15. It is rotatably supported at the center of the frame 23 fixed along.

The slider 23 is provided so as to be slidable along a rail 24 buried in the vehicle interior side wall 11a so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and the other (shorter) link member 22 is attached to the slider 23. Are connected. The other end of the link member 22 is the seat 1 when the left seat 15 is located at a position facing the right seat 15.
The other end of the seat 5 is connected to the seat 15 at a position close to the cabin side wall 11a on the front side of the vehicle.

The left seat 15 is replaced with the right seat 15
3, the link member 21 is substantially parallel to the cabin side wall 11a, and the slider 23 is connected to the rail 2 as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG.
4 at the forefront position. Then, the left seat 15
Is rotated by approximately 90 ° to a position where it is connected to the right seat 15, and the link member 21 is extended in the vehicle width direction as shown by a solid line in FIG. The slider 23 slides to the rearmost position of the rail 24 together with the link member 22, so that the left seat 15 facing the vehicle width direction faces the front of the vehicle body. FIG. 4 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of the seat rotation moving mechanism 20. Reference numerals 29, 29 denote rear doors which open in double doors.

FIGS. 5 and 6 are a side view and a front view, respectively, showing a state in which the left seat 15 is rotated to a position facing the front of the vehicle body to form an L-shaped seat. .

As is apparent from FIGS. 5 and 6, the seat cushion 15a of the seat 15 has a pair of leg members 17, 17 hinged to the bottom surface thereof at a predetermined interval.
Is supported on the floor by the
Is constituted by a metal pipe bent in a U-shape,
And it can be folded to the leg member 17 side opposite to each other. In addition, each seat cushion 16 of the seats 16, 16 disposed behind the suspension towers 14, 14.
A similarly foldable leg member 18 is hinge-supported one by one also on the bottom surface of a.

The leg members 17 and 18 are attached to the seat 1
As is apparent from FIG. 6, the provision of each of the legs 15 and 18 and the space between the legs 17 and 18 and the length of the vehicle A space for storing long objects that allows insertion in the front-rear direction is secured.

Then, in a state where the rotatable left seat 15 is opposed to the right seat 15 without rotating, the four seat cushions 15a to 15c of the rear seat are provided.
A large luggage compartment can be formed on the floor of the rear compartment 11 by flipping up and storing all 6a and folding the leg members 17, 18 so as to be parallel to the bottom surfaces of the seat cushions 15a to 16a. .

When the left sheet 15 is rotated by 90 ° and connected to the non-rotatable right sheet 15 to form a sheet having an L-shaped planar shape as shown in FIG. 15, 15 seat backs 15b, 15b
Although there is a gap between them, a seat back member 25 for filling the gap may be provided as shown in FIG. 7, if necessary.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the seat back member 25 is rotatable about a shaft 27 extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction at the upper end of a bracket 26 erected on the suspension tower 14 on the right side of the vehicle body. And is configured to be locked in a horizontal position as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 by a support rod 28. Then, when the support rod 28 is removed, as shown by a broken line in FIG.

When such a seat back member 25 is provided, as shown in FIG. 10, the seat cushion 15a of the non-rotatable right seat 15 can be individually flipped up to the seat back 15b side and stored. The front seat cushion 15aF is divided into a front seat cushion 15aF and a rear seat cushion 15aR.
By flipping up and storing only the seat cushion 15a of the seat 15 rotated 90 °, the width of the seat cushion 15a is increased, and three occupants can sit forward.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a storage portion 29 capable of storing the plate member 30 is provided on the bottom surface of the seat 15, and the seat cushion 15a of the seat 15 is flipped up and stored toward the seat back 15b. Later, while pulling out the plate member 30 upwards and lowering it horizontally,
By opening the leg members 17 and 17 to support the plate member 30, the plate member 30 can be used as a table.

As is clear from the above description, according to the above-described embodiment, the vehicle 1 is disposed so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body along both side walls 11a, 11a of the vehicle compartment 11 and face each other.
One of the pair of sheets 15, 15 is provided so as to be rotatable by approximately 90 ° in a horizontal plane, and the movement causes the above-mentioned sheet 15 to be connected to the other sheet 15 to form an L-shape. Since a seat having a flat planar shape is formed, it is possible to arrange the seat according to the passenger's request while satisfying two conditions of multi-person riding and luggage room enlargement.

Further, since one end of the link member 21 for rotating the above-mentioned seat 15 is connected to the vicinity of the suspension tower 14 of the vehicle body 1, the link member 2
1, and the link members 21 and
The space 22 and the slider 23 can be arranged in the dead space near the suspension tower 14, so that the space in the passenger compartment 11 can be effectively used.

Further, when a sheet having an L-shaped planar shape is formed by the sheets 15, 15, a seat back member 25 for filling a gap generated between the seat backs 15 b, 15 b of the two sheets 15, 15 is provided by the suspension tower 14. In addition to the above, the seat cushion 15a of the other seat 15 is divided into a front seat cushion portion 15aF and a rear seat cushion portion 15aR, and both of the seat cushion portions 15aF, 15aR are formed.
Are individually configured to be able to be flipped up and stored toward the seat back 15b, so that when the L-shaped seat is formed, only the front seat cushion portion 15aF of the non-rotatable seat 15 is flipped up and stored. Then, it is possible to obtain an effect similar to that obtained by enlarging the width of the seat cushion of one of the seats 15 turned forward by the rotational movement.

Further, since the seats 15 and 16 have the U-shaped leg members 17 and 18, regardless of the position of the rotatable seat 15, each leg member 17 and 18 is provided.
And these between leg members, a long article housing space to permit longitudinal direction of the vehicle body through the luggage long can be secure.
