Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle seat, and more particularly to a saddle type vehicle seat used for motorcycles, snow bikes, water bikes, all-terrain vehicles (buggies) and the like.

Conventionally, in a saddle type vehicle seat configured by covering a cushion material placed on a bottom plate with a skin material, the bottom plate is wrapped with the skin material, and then the end portion of the skin is stapled with a tacker staple (staple). A method of fixing using, etc. is used.
To be more specific, first, the edge of the skin is temporarily fixed to the back surface of the bottom plate with a tucker needle to fix the position of the skin, and then the skin is applied so that wrinkles and slack do not occur on the surface of the vehicle seat. After pulling it, it was finally fixed (fixed) using a Tucker needle again.
Under such circumstances, a technique has been proposed that enables efficient attachment work of the outer skin terminal portion to the back surface of the bottom plate (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the vehicle seat described in Patent Literature 1, rod-shaped temporary fixing portions protruding from the back surface of a bottom plate (seat bottom plate) and engaging with holes provided in skin end portions, and a state in which the temporary fixing portions are bent. and a temporary fixing support portion that supports the tip of the temporary fixing portion when it is in the position.
In the above configuration, the operator temporarily fastens the skin material by engaging the skin end portion with the temporary fastening portion and bending the temporary fastening portion over the entire circumference of the skin material. Then, by driving a Tucker needle or the like into the outer edge position of the bottom plate rather than the temporary fixing portion, the terminal portion of the outer skin is permanently fixed.
Therefore, the temporary fixing of the outer skin end portion to the back surface of the bottom plate is highly stable, and the attachment work of the outer skin end portion can be performed efficiently.
