Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a rear seat for an automobile in which the backrest is formed by a peripheral portion fixed to the vehicle body and a reclining portion provided inside the peripheral portion.

For those with a reclining backrest, or those with a movable seat back on the periphery and inward,
Various structures have been devised in the past, but
Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the system disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-160931 is related to a reclining mechanism, but there is a problem with the rear shelf and the wheel apron hitting the rear during the reclining operation, or the size of the gap provided to avoid hitting is difficult. There is a problem with this. Further, the one shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-98632 is formed of a seat back trim as a fixed part and a seat back as a movable part, but the reclining effect is not clear.

In contrast, the present invention provides a backrest structure that eliminates the need to pay attention to the contact or gap between the rear shelf and the foil apron, and that also provides a comfortable effect through reclining operations. The embodiment shown in the drawings will be explained as follows.

Figure 1 shows a rear seat 1 (consisting of a seat cushion 2 and a seat backrest 3) seen from the side.
Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the main part of the backrest 3 and the main part of the vehicle body to which it is attached.As shown in Fig. 1, the front seat 4 is installed in front of the rear seat 1. A roof panel 5 is formed above, door openings 6 are provided on both sides, a rear shelf 7 is located at the rear, and a foil apron 8 is located on both sides of the rear.

The backrest 3 consists of a peripheral part 10 and a reclining part 12 provided inwardly of the peripheral part 10. The peripheral edge 10 is an upper edge 1 located in front of the rear shelf 7.
0a and side edges 10b, 10b located in front of the foil apron 8 on both sides are integrally formed. As shown in FIG. 2, on the vehicle body side to which this is attached, a rear panel 14 is continuous below the front edge of the rear shelf 7, a wheel apron 8 protrudes from both sides of the rear panel 14, and a floor 1 is attached to the lower edge.
5 in a row.

To fix the peripheral edge part 10 to the vehicle body side, the peripheral edge part 1
0 to the rear panel 14. At this time, the peripheral part 1
The foil apron 8 fits within the recessed portion 10C. Then, the corresponding locking metal fittings 18 provided on the peripheral edge part 10 are latched onto several hooks 17 provided on the upper part of the rear panel 14, and the locking metal fittings 18 are provided between both side edges 10b, 10b of the peripheral edge part 10. Attachment bolts 21 are respectively inserted into several through holes 20a of the hanging fitting 20, and then screwed into the attachment holes 14a of the rear panel 14 and fixed.

The reclining part 12 has a shape that closes the inner space of the peripheral edge part 10, and when the reclining part 12 is tilted as described later, the upper part of the reclining part 12 fits into the opening in the rear panel 14 below the rear shelf. It is designed to be able to be inserted into the insertion position. On both side edges 10b of the peripheral portion 10, hinge pins 23 having horizontal axes are implanted at approximately the center in the vertical direction at symmetrical positions, and a hinge plate 24 is rotatably attached to the hinge pins 23. . A reclining part 12 is attached to this hinge plate 24, and the reclining part 12 is freely rotatable about a hinge pin 23.

Further, an operating rod 26 is provided along the lower edge of the reclining part 12, and an operating lever 27 is connected to this.
Lock pins 30 are attached to both ends of the operating rod 26 via arms 28. The lock pin 30 is adapted to engage with any of several lock grooves 32a of a lock fitting 32 provided at the inner lower part of the side edge 10b. When the operating lever 27 is operated up and down, the locking pin 30 moves up and down via the operating rod 26 and the arm 28, and engages with or detaches from the locking groove 32a. By replacing the lock pins 30 in several lock grooves 32a, the reclining part 12 rotates around the hinge pin 23 and becomes the state shown in 12', thereby obtaining the desired reclining angle.

As mentioned above, in this invention, the peripheral edge of the backrest is fixed to the vehicle body, so its position in relation to the rear shelf and wheel apron at the rear remains unchanged, and the reclining part located inward does not change when rotating. Its upper end is inserted under the rear shelf and does not hit these vehicle body members. Therefore, there is an advantage that the problem of contact or gap between the back crest, rear shelf, and foil apron, which has been considered a problem up to now, does not occur.

In addition, since the reclining part of the backrest rotates around the center in the vertical direction, compared to a case where the center of rotation is at the upper or lower edge of the backrest, even if the reclining angle is the same, the rotation from the periphery is much lower. The amount of protrusion is small. Therefore, since there is little change in the head room and leg room, there is an advantage that a comfortable function and effect can be obtained by the reclining operation.
