Description

  The present invention relates to a package for a vehicle seat.

  Conventionally, when a vehicle such as an automobile is delivered to a user, the sheet is covered with a bag-like package made of, for example, a polyethylene film. Such a package is put on the sheet immediately after the sheet is assembled, the sheet is assembled to the vehicle body, and the sheet is continuously covered until the completed vehicle is delivered to the user. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the sheet from becoming dirty before delivery. However, its function is limited to the protection of the sheet to be coated.

  By the way, conventionally, an adhesive containing a volatile organic compound (VOC) or the like has been used in the production of a vehicle interior material, a seat, and the like. However, the volatile organic compound often causes an odor in the passenger compartment. Recently, attempts have been made to reduce the amount used. However, it is difficult to completely eliminate the use of volatile organic compounds. Therefore, attempts have been made to remove the odor in the passenger compartment before delivering the new vehicle to the user.

  For example, in the following Patent Document 1, the smell of the passenger compartment is covered by covering a sheet with a paper-like material containing a photocatalyst and an adsorbent that adsorbs the odor for a certain period after the vehicle is delivered to the user. It has been proposed to remove.

  However, according to the technique proposed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the sheet installed in the interior of the completed vehicle is covered with a paper-like material in which an adsorbent is inserted. There was a problem that a work process was added.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to reduce the odor in the passenger compartment before delivering a new vehicle to a user without adding a new work process.

  In the present invention, after the vehicle seat assembly process, the vehicle seat is covered and covered until the vehicle seat is assembled to the vehicle and the vehicle is delivered. In the vehicle seat packaging body that prevents the above, at least a part of the package is made of a material having a deodorizing function. After the assembly process of the vehicle seat is after at least a portion covered with the package of the vehicle seat is assembled. The deodorizing function means removing volatile organic compounds by physical action or chemical action. As a material having a deodorizing function, a material in which a deodorizing material is held on a film or a non-woven fabric is typically mentioned. Examples of the deodorizing material include a porous body capable of adsorbing volatile organic compounds such as activated carbon and zeolite, and a photocatalyst capable of decomposing or detoxifying volatile organic compounds by reacting with volatile organic compounds. Can be mentioned.

Furthermore, in the vehicle seat packaging body of the present invention, the rear portion of the seat back and the rear portion of the side surface, and the seat cushion, wherein the portion made of the material having the deodorizing function is a portion other than the portion where the seated person contacts. It is arrange | positioned so that the lower side of this side surface and the lower side of a front surface may be coat | covered.

  According to the package having such a structure, not only the sheet is protected from dirt by covering the sheet, but also the volatile organic compound contained in the air in the passenger compartment is removed after the sheet is mounted on the vehicle body. it can. Therefore, it is possible to remove the odor in the passenger compartment without increasing the number of work steps simply by covering the sheet instead of the conventional package.

Furthermore, even if the operator is seated on the seat, the material having a deodorizing function is not shielded by the seated person. Therefore, regardless of the presence or absence of a seated person, a material having a deodorizing function is exposed in the vehicle interior, and the deodorizing function can be exerted on the air in the vehicle interior. In addition, since a seating load does not act on a material having a deodorizing function, there is no possibility that a problem such as dropping of the deodorizing material due to the seating load does not occur.

According to the vehicle seat package of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the odor in the passenger compartment before delivering a new vehicle to the user without adding a new work process.
In addition, since the part composed of a material having a deodorizing function is disposed so as to cover a part other than the part where the seated person comes in contact with, the air in the vehicle interior regardless of the presence or absence of the seated person Deodorizing function can be demonstrated. Moreover, since a seating load does not act on the site | part comprised with the material provided with a deodorizing function, malfunctions, such as dropping of a deodorizing material, do not arise easily.

It is a perspective view of the packaging body of the vehicle seat which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is the perspective view which looked at the vehicle seat with which the package shown by FIG. 1 was covered from diagonally forward. It is the perspective view which looked at the vehicle seat with which the packaging body shown by FIG. 1 was covered from diagonally back. It is a perspective view of the vehicle seat with which the package concerning the modification of the embodiment of the present invention was covered.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a package 21 according to this embodiment. The package 21 is in the form of a bag having an opening 21a in the lower part, and covers the seat 11 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) that constitutes the driver's seat of an automobile. Note that UP and FR indicated by arrows in the figure indicate the upper and front directions based on the direction viewed from the seat occupant. The seat 11 is mainly composed of a seat cushion 13, a seat back 15, and a headrest 17. The upper surface 13a of the seat cushion 13 constitutes a seat surface on which the seated person sits down, and the front surface 15a of the seat back 15 constitutes a backrest surface on which the seated person sits. The package body 21 extends forward from the rear end of the seat cushion covering portion 23 that can project forward and cover the seat cushion 13, and can cover the seat back 15. It has a seat back covering portion 25 and is substantially L-shaped in a side view. Therefore, the seat 11 with the seat back 15 standing can be covered in a state substantially along the contours of both the seat cushion 13 and the seat back 15 and cannot be covered reversely. ing. The package body 21 is configured such that a rubber string 27 (see FIG. 1) is passed along the lower opening edge of the package body 21 and the opening portion 21a is narrowed in a state where the package body 21 is covered.

  A part of the package 21 is made of a material having a deodorizing function. In FIG. 1, a part (hereinafter referred to as “deodorizing part”) 31 made of a material having a deodorizing function is shown with a lattice pattern. Other parts (parts not provided with a lattice pattern) excluding the deodorizing part 31 are made of a material constituting a conventional package such as a polyethylene film. The other part is referred to as an antifouling part 33. The names of the respective parts are given for convenience of explanation, and both the deodorizing part 31 and the antifouling part 33 serve to prevent the sheet 11 from being stained by covering the sheet 11.

  The deodorizing part 31 is set at a place where a seated person on the seat 11 does not come into contact with the seat 11 in a normal sitting posture. Specifically, the deodorizing part 31 is set over a part covering the rear side 15b and the side 15c of the seat back 15, and a part covering the lower side of the side 13c and the lower side 13d of the seat cushion 13. ing. That is, even when the packaging body 21 is slightly deviated from the packaging body 21, the upper surface 13a of the seat cushion 13 constituting the seat surface and the front surface 15a of the seat back 15 constituting the backrest surface are covered. The deodorizing site | part 31 is set to the location which does not have. Therefore, the seated person does not contact the deodorizing part 31 but sits in a state of contacting the antifouling part 33.

As an example of a material having a deodorizing function that constitutes the deodorizing part 31, there is a nonwoven fabric supporting activated carbon. The method for supporting the activated carbon in the nonwoven fabric is not particularly limited. For example, the activated carbon can be supported on the nonwoven fabric by adhering powdered activated carbon to the nonwoven fabric, mixing it into the structure of the nonwoven fabric, or kneading it into the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. Although the fabric weight of a nonwoven fabric is not specifically limited, 50-70 g / m < ² > is preferable from a viewpoint of handling.

  The package 21 is prepared by joining the deodorizing part 31 and the antifouling part 33 by various means such as welding, fusing, adhesion or stitching. The deodorizing part 31 or the antifouling part 33 may be formed by joining a plurality of pieces.

  The package 21 having the above configuration is used in the same manner as a conventional package instead of the conventional package. That is, the packaging body 21 is covered after assembling a portion to be covered in the manufacturing process of the sheet 11. The packaging body 21 of the present embodiment is covered with the seat cushion 13 and the seat back 15 assembled, and the stay (not shown) of the headrest 17 is formed on the upper portion through the two insertion holes 22, 22. Mounted on top. And the completed sheet | seat 11 is mounted in a vehicle body, with the packaging body 21 covered. Therefore, the packaging body 21 is inevitably disposed in the vehicle interior when the vehicle is completed. The package 21 is left on the sheet 11 until the vehicle is delivered to the user, and is peeled off from the sheet 11 at the time of delivery or after delivery.

According to the packaging body 21, after the seat 11 is assembled, the seat 11 is mounted on the vehicle, and the seat 11 can be prevented from being soiled until the vehicle is delivered to the user. In addition, the volatile organic compound that volatilizes from the sheet 11 can be adsorbed by the activated carbon contained in the deodorizing part 31. In addition, not only the volatile organic compounds that volatilize from the seat 11 but also the volatile organic compounds that volatilize from the seat 11 and the interior material in the interior of the vehicle until the vehicle is delivered to the user after the vehicle is completed. It can be adsorbed by activated carbon contained in the region 31. Therefore, not only can the packaging body 21 be protected, but also the indoor odor can be reduced. Moreover, since the package 21 is used in place of the conventional package, it is possible to easily add an indoor odor reducing action without requiring a new work process.
Further, since the deodorizing part 31 is disposed at a place where the seated person does not contact in the normal seating posture, it is exposed to the room regardless of whether or not the seated person is seated on the seat 11. Deodorizing function can be exerted on the air. Moreover, since a seated person's load is not applied to the deodorizing site | part 31, there is no possibility that the activated carbon contained in the deodorizing site | part 31 may drop by the seated person's load and friction. In addition, since the stay of the headrest 17 is inserted through the insertion holes 22, 22, the packaging body 21 is not easily displaced with respect to the seat 11, and the deodorized part 31 is reliably disposed at a place where the seated person does not contact in a normal sitting posture. It has come to be.

It should be noted that various other embodiments can be considered within the scope of the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention.
In the above embodiment has exemplified the obtained that package over the sheet 11 one seat, such as the bench seat 51 shown in FIG. 4, package 61 for covering to the seat which can be a plurality of persons are seated It can also be applied to.
Moreover, the packaging body 21 of the said embodiment can be changed into the shape which also covers the headrest 17. FIG. Further, the present invention can also be applied to a package that covers the headrest 17.
