Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle suspension seat.

  Patent Document 1 describes a vehicle seat in which a shielding member made of a carpet material having rigidity protruding upward is sewn at the rear end of a skin material of a seat cushion.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-85470

  A so-called two-split type suspension seat has been developed in which a seat back is divided into a seat back outer and a seat back inner, and the seat back inner is supported by a cushion frame. In this two-split type suspension seat, the seat back inner follows the vertical movement of the cushion frame and moves up and down with respect to the seat back outer. For this reason, when the seat back inner is lowered, a gap is generated between the upper end portion of the seat back inner and the seat back outer, and there is a possibility that an object is dropped backward from the generated gap. The rear surface of the seat back inner is covered from the rear by the seat back rear surface portion, and the object dropped from the gap cannot be easily taken out.

  Further, in order to eliminate the above inconvenience, when the gap between the upper end portion of the seat back inner and the seat back outer is shielded using a rigid shielding member as in Patent Document 1, the vertical movement of the seat back inner is caused by the shielding member. It will be disturbed.

  In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a suspension seat that can easily take out an object that has entered rearward from between the upper end portion of the seatback inner and the seatback outer with a simple structure.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a seat back that is divided into a seat back outer and a seat back inner, the pad material of the seat back outer is supported by a back outer support member, and the pad material of the seat back inner Is supported by a back inner support member, and the suspension device supports the cushion frame from below in a state in which the suspension device allows relative vertical movement between the cushion frame and the floor surface, and includes a fall prevention sheet.

  The seat back outer includes an outer upper portion, a pair of outer side portions, an inner accommodating space, and a seat back rear surface portion. The outer upper part extends in the seat width direction at the upper part of the seat back. The pair of outer side portions extends downward from both end portions of the outer upper portion in the seat width direction. The inner accommodating space is partitioned by the outer upper portion and a pair of outer side portions. The seat back rear surface portion covers the inner housing space from the rear. The seat back inner is supported by the cushion frame, is accommodated in the inner accommodating space, and moves up and down with respect to the seat back outer following the vertical movement of the cushion frame.

The fall prevention sheet is a flexible sheet material having an upper edge portion, a lower edge portion, and an intermediate portion. The upper edge portion is fixedly supported by the back outer support member at the outer upper portion of the seat back outer. The lower edge portion is fixedly supported by the back inner support member at the upper portion of the seat back inner. The intermediate portion is an initial state in which the seat back inner is raised most with respect to the seat back outer, and is folded back in a U shape between the seat back inner and the seat back rear surface portion.

  In the above configuration, even when the seat back inner is lowered from the initial state and a gap is generated between the upper end portion of the seat back inner and the seat back outer, and an object accidentally enters backward from the gap, The fall prevention sheet prevents the entry object from falling. Accordingly, the occupant can easily take out an object that has accidentally entered backward from the gap.

  Moreover, since the fall prevention sheet has flexibility, the fall prevention sheet does not hinder the vertical movement of the seat back inner.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily take out an object that has entered the rear from between the upper end portion of the seat back inner and the seat back outer by a simple structure in which the fall prevention sheet is provided.

It is a perspective view showing the outline of the internal structure of the suspension seat concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a perspective view which shows the external appearance of a suspension sheet. FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of the upper part of the suspension seat, where (a) shows the seat back inner in the initial state, and (b) shows the seat back inner lowered from the initial state. It is the perspective view which looked at the internal structure of the upper part of a suspension seat from back.

The lower end portions of the left and right inner frame side portions 31b are rotatably supported by the rear end portions of the left and right horizontal frames 11 of the cushion frame 4, and the back inner frame 31 moves up and down following the vertical movement of the cushion frame 4. . That is, the seat back inner 30 is supported by the cushion frame 4 and moves up and down with respect to the seat back outer 20 following the vertical movement of the cushion frame 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a fall prevention sheet 16 is provided between the outer upper portion 21 of the seat back outer 20 and the upper portion of the seat back inner 30. The fall prevention sheet 16 is a flexible sheet material having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The material of the fall prevention sheet 16 can be arbitrarily selected, for example, cloth or resin. The upper edge portion 16a of the fall prevention sheet 16 is fixed to the outer upper portion 21 (in this embodiment, the outer frame upper portion 26a). The lower edge portion 16b of the fall prevention sheet 16 is fixed to the upper portion of the seat back inner 30 (in this embodiment, the inner frame upper portion 31a). In an initial state in which the seat back inner 30 rises most with respect to the seat back outer 20 (see FIG. 3A), the intermediate portion 16c of the fall prevention sheet 16 is between the seat back inner 30 and the seat back rear surface portion 24. Is folded into a U shape to form a bag.

  When the occupant sits on the seat cushion 2 and the suspension device 15 functions and the cushion frame 4 is lowered, the seat back inner 30 is also lowered from the initial state (see FIG. 3A), and the seat back inner is lowered. A gap 17 is generated between the upper end of the seat 30 and the seat back outer 20 (see FIGS. 2 and 3B). At this time, the lower edge portion 16 b of the fall prevention sheet 16 is also lowered, and the fall prevention sheet 16 covers the back of the gap 17. The lateral width (length in the left-right direction) of the fall prevention sheet 16 is set to a length that covers substantially the entire width direction of the gap 17. Further, the vertical width (length in the vertical direction) of the fall prevention sheet 16 is set to such a length that the vertical tension does not act even when the seat back inner 30 is lowered most.

  Since such a fall prevention sheet 16 is provided, the seat back inner 30 is lowered from the initial state, and a gap 17 is generated between the upper end portion of the seat back inner 30 and the seat back outer 20. Even if an object accidentally enters backward, the fall prevention sheet 16 prevents the entry object from falling. Therefore, the occupant can easily take out an object that has accidentally entered backward from the gap 17.

  Moreover, since the fall prevention sheet 16 has flexibility, the fall prevention sheet 16 does not hinder the vertical movement of the seat back inner 30.
