[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vehicle seat having a cup holder function that can securely hold a cup or the like without rattling.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a vehicle seat in which a seat back can be tilted forward to a seat cushion side is well known, and a seat back provided with a table surface on which a cup receiver is incorporated is also known. (For example, see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-71055 and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-189829).
[0003]
However, the conventional seat for a vehicle with the cup holder function has a weak cup holding force, so if the rattle occurs or a large impact is applied, such as when sudden braking is applied during traveling, the cup holding state There was a problem that the cup could not be maintained and the cup would fall. On the other hand, when trying to increase the holding power of the cup, there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated, the usability is deteriorated, and the production cost is increased.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention solves the conventional problems as described above, has a sufficient holding force, can reliably hold a cup or the like without rattling, and has a large shock like when a sudden brake is applied. Provided is a vehicle seat that can prevent a cup or the like from tipping over even when it is hung, can exhibit excellent operability with a simple mechanism, and can reduce production costs and reduce costs. It was completed for the purpose of doing.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The vehicle seat of the present invention made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a headrest is incorporated in a top portion of a seat back body that can be tilted forward so as to be movable up and down, and between the head rest and the seat back body, both of them are provided. A cup holding plate that is resiliently provided in a direction in which the gap is reduced is provided so that the space between the headrest and the seat back body can be used as a cup holder when the seat back body is tilted forward. Things.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The drawings show a case where the present invention is applied to a rear seat, wherein 1 is a seat cushion, 2 is a seat back body, and 3 is a headrest provided on the upper portion of the seat back body 2 and capable of moving up and down. The seat back in which the headrest 3 is movably lifted and lowered at the top of the seat back body 2 which can be tilted forward is tiltable toward the upper surface of the seat cushion 1 by a well-known reclining mechanism. Is basically the same as a conventional vehicle seat.
[0007]
In the present invention, a cup holding plate 7 is provided between the top of the seat back main body 2 and the lower surface of the headrest 3 so as to be resilient in a direction in which the distance between them is reduced, so that the seat back main body 2 can be moved forward. It has a characteristic configuration in that the space between the headrest 3 and the seatback main body 2 can be used as a cup holder when it is folded down. In order to have such a configuration, in this embodiment, the lower part on the back side of the headrest 3 is formed in the notch step 4 for receiving the cup, while the notch step 4 is always formed on the top of the seatback body 2 by the spring member 6. A cup holding plate 7 is provided for pressing the headrest 3 toward the upper surface of the seat cushion 1 and the headrest 3 is slid so as to substantially match the outer diameter of the cup or the like while the seatback body 2 is tilted forward toward the upper surface of the seat cushion 1. When the lower portion of the cup, the beverage can, or the like is stored in the recess formed by the step portion 4 and the top portion of the seat back body 2, the cup, the beverage can, and the like move between the cutout step portion 4 and the cup holding plate 7 It is designed to be held securely without rattling.
[0008]
The cup holding plate 7 adjusts the distance between the headrest 3 and the seatback body 2 formed by the sliding movement of the headrest 3 more finely than the distance between the lock grooves formed in the headrest stay 3a by using a resilient force. The cup holding plate 7 can be securely held by the cup holding plate 7 being in close contact with the cup or the like. Therefore, the cup holding plate 7 only has to be between the top of the seat back body 2 and the headrest 3, and therefore, Alternatively, the cup holding plate 7 may be provided on the headrest 3 side. Further, the seat back body 2 may of course be provided with a panel so that the back surface thereof can be used as a table.
[0009]
Further, plastic forming plates 5a and 5b are provided so as to cover the inner surface of the notch step 4 and the top of the seat back body 2. The molding plates 5a and 5b maintain the strength and improve the appearance, and can cover the end of the cover member of the seatback body 2 and the headrest 3, so that the seatback body 2 and the headrest 3 In the case of being covered with the cover member, the time and effort for performing the terminal treatment can be omitted and the appearance is excellent. . The forming plate 5b attached to the top of the seat back 2 also has a function as a support member for the headrest stay 3a.
[0010]
Such a structure is used as a vehicle seat in which a seat back composed of a seat back body 2 and a headrest 3 can be tilted forward toward an upper surface of a seat cushion 1 by a well-known reclining mechanism. The same point is provided as in the conventional case, but when the cup holder function is to be exhibited, the seat back body 2 is tilted forward and the headrest 3 which can be moved up and down is pulled out, and the notch step portion 4 and the top portion of the seat back body 2 are provided. The lower part of the cup or the like (in the illustrated case, a bottle) is housed in the recess formed by the above and the headrest 3 is pushed back to the position where the lock groove of the headrest stay 3a is locked. A cup holding plate 7 interposed between the notch step 4 and the seatback body 2 and resilient in a direction in which the distance between the two is reduced Since the reliable adhesion clamped state during overturning of such cup and is surely prevented.
[0011]
In the case where the forming plates 5a and 5b are attached to the back surface of the notch step portion 4 and the back surface of the seat back body 2, the strength is maintained and the appearance is improved, and the sheet is formed by the forming plates 5a and 5b. Since the terminal of the cover member that covers the back 2 and the headrest 3 can be hidden, the trouble of performing the terminal processing can be omitted and the appearance can be improved.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the present invention has a sufficient holding force, can reliably hold a cup or the like without rattling, and when a large impact is applied such as when sudden braking is applied. In addition, the cup and the like can be prevented from overturning, excellent operability can be exhibited with a simple mechanism, and the production cost can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to industrial development as a vehicle seat that has eliminated the conventional problems.
