[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vehicle seat side shield capable of reducing the number of parts and simplifying assembly work as compared with the conventional art.
[0002]
[Prior art]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-9-263164
For example, in the case of an automobile seat, various parts such as a seat rail, a reclining handle, and a seat belt anchor are mounted on the side portion of the seat cushion. Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a vehicle seat side shield has been used for the purpose of concealing the components and decorating the side portion of the seat cushion.
On the other hand, recently, automobile seats having a seat arrangement mechanism are also increasing. In such an arrangement type seat, the amount of movement of the seat is large and the amount of exposure of the side portion is also large. Shielding has come to be required. FIGS. 4 to 6 show an example, and the side shield body 21 is a combination of the inside side member 22 and the outside side member 23 so that the side shield body 21 is closely attached to the side wall portion of the seat cushion. It has become.
[0004]
However, it is necessary to pull out the seatbelt anchor 10 from a part of the side shield body 21. In the conventional case, as shown in FIG. 6, a hole 24 is formed in the outside member 23. As a matter of course, it was assembled through the following steps (1) to (4).
Step {circle around (1)} The inside member 22 is attached to the seat frame 30.
Step {circle around (2)} The outside member 23 is attached to the seat frame 30.
Process {circle around (3)} The anchor 10 is fixed to the fixing hole 31 of the seat frame 30 with the bolt 11 using the hole 24.
Process {circle around (4)} Cap 25 is attached to conceal hole 24.
Therefore, as the number of parts, three points of the inside side member 22, the outside side member 23, and the cap 25 are necessary, and the assembly work requires four steps, which is troublesome.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention solves the conventional problems as described above, and can naturally conceal the side portion of the seat cushion, as well as reduce the number of parts, thereby greatly reducing the cost. The present invention has been completed for the purpose of providing a vehicle seat side shield that can be assembled and simplified.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The vehicle seat side shield of the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is a vehicle seat side comprising a side shield body comprising an outside side member and an inside side member attached to at least the latter half part thereof. The shield is provided with a notch portion for storing an anchor provided at the upper edge of the outside side member at the rear portion of the outside side member, and the notch portion is fitted into the notch portion on the inside side member. An overhang portion is provided, which is characterized by comprising an upper hang portion covering the upper side of the notch portion and a side hang portion covering the side surface of the notch portion .
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The drawings show a case in which the present invention is applied to an automobile seat. FIG. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a main part.
As shown in the figure, the side shield main body 1 has an L-shape with a rear portion as a rising portion, and an outside side member 3 in which a concave portion 3a for anchor intervention is formed on the outer side of the intermediate portion. It comprises an L-shaped inside side member 2 that is attached to at least the rear half of the side member 3, and the inside side member 2 in the illustrated example is positioned near the back side of the recess 3a. The outer side member 3 is integrally attached to the rear half.
In the present invention, a cutout 4 for seat belt anchor storage is provided at the upper edge of the intermediate portion of the outside member 3 described above, and a fan-like wall plate 5 is provided forward of the rear of the cutout 4. On the other hand, the inside side member 2 is provided with an overhang portion 6 that fits snugly into the notch portion 4 and conceals the notch portion 4 together with the wall plate portion 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the above-described overhang portion 6 includes an upper hang portion 6 a that covers the upper side and a side hang portion 6 b that covers the side surface of the notch portion 5.
[0008]
By adopting such a configuration, the present invention eliminates the cap 25 for concealing the anchor pull-out hole 24 as in the prior art, thereby reducing the number of parts and reducing the number of assembly steps as compared with the prior art. In addition, although the notch 4 for anchor storage is provided, the notch 4 is surely concealed by the wall plate 5 and the overhang 6 so that the appearance quality is excellent.
[0009]
More specifically, the upper edge of the intermediate portion of the outside member 3 is joined to the inside member 2 as described above so as to go from the joint with the inside member 2 toward the outside member 3. A cutout portion 4 for storing a seat belt anchor that is cut out and is large enough to store the anchor 10 is provided, and the fan-shaped wall plate portion 5 is integrally formed for concealing the cutout portion from the rear portion of the cutout portion 4 to the front. It is provided.
On the other hand, the overhang portion 6 provided in the inside member 2 so as to fit in the notch portion 4 so as to cover the whole of the notch portion 4 covers the upper side of the notch portion 4 on the upper surface of the outside side member 3. The upper hang portion 6a is connected smoothly and the side hang portion 6b is formed to cover the side surface of the cutout portion 4 and conceal the cutout hole portion. The outer edge of the side hang portion 6b has an arc shape substantially equal to the outer edge of the fan-shaped wall plate portion 5.
[0010]
Next, an assembly process of the side shield configured as described above will be described.
In the conventional case, the assembly of the side shield is composed of four steps as described above, and the cap 25 is required to conceal the hole 24.
On the other hand, the present invention is assembled through the following three steps (1) to (3).
Process (1) The inside member 2 is attached to the seat frame 30.
Step (2) The anchor 10 is fixed to the fixing hole 31 of the seat frame 30 with the bolt 11.
Step {circle around (3)} The outside side member 3 is attached to the seat frame 30.
As described above, according to the present invention, since the assembly is completed in one step less than the conventional one, the work can be simplified, and a hole concealing cap is not necessary.
[0011]
As described above, according to the present invention, the side shield main body 1 is composed of the outside side member 3 and the inside side member 2, and the outside side member 3 is provided with a forward-facing wall plate portion 5 at the rear portion. While the cutout portion 4 is provided, the inside member 2 is provided with the overhang portion 6 that is fitted in the cutout portion 4 and conceals the cutout portion 4, so that a cap 25 for concealing the conventional hole portion 24 is provided. It can be abolished, thereby reducing the number of parts, simplifying assembly work, drastically reducing costs, etc. In addition, since the notch 4 is completely hidden by the wall plate 5, There is an advantage that appearance quality is not inferior at all.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the present invention can naturally hide the side portion of the seat cushion, as well as reduce the number of parts and can greatly reduce the cost. It is also possible to simplify the assembly work.
Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to the development of the industry as a side shield for vehicle seats that eliminates the conventional problems.
