Description

  The present invention relates to a seat structure in which a leg portion of a seat is covered with a leg portion cover.

  When the seat is installed on the floor of the vehicle body, the floor may not be flat but may have irregularities. A technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known as a sheet supported via a leg portion on a floor on which such unevenness is formed.

  Patent Document 1 shows a floor in which a recess is partially formed. By making the leg part installed in the concave part out of the leg parts of the seat longer than the other leg parts, the seat is installed in a desired posture without being inclined. In addition, from the viewpoint of appearance and the like, the exposed leg is covered with a resin leg cover. A flat plate portion is formed in the lower portion of the leg cover so as to be continuous with the floor, and the flat plate portion closes the concave portion in the installation portion of the leg portion.

  In recent years, a sheet structure in which the sheet is folded by moving a leg has been put to practical use. Some folding seats are provided with a striker on the floor, a lock portion (latch) on the leg, and the lock portion is engaged with the striker to fix the seat to the floor. Even in such a seat structure that moves the legs, covering the legs with a leg cover partially hides the lock and the wire for operating the lock, improving the appearance of the legs. It is required to make it.

  However, in the leg cover of the prior art, although it corresponds to the recess of the floor, it is simply formed so as to extend along the leg portion, so that it is not considered to cover the lock portion while maintaining the appearance. Further, when engaging the lock portion with the striker, it is necessary to push the lock portion into the striker, so the striker may come into contact with the leg portion. In this respect, if the lock part is simply covered together with the leg part, the striker may come into contact with the resin cover and the resin cover may be damaged.
