Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a rear seat of an automobile.

<Prior art> When a passenger sitting in the front seat of an automobile reclines his or her back backwards and lies down to rest, the front seat 1 is slid forward and the backrest 2 is moved backwards, as shown in Fig. 1. leaning towards. In this case, if the interior length of the vehicle is long and there is a sufficient distance between the front seat 1 and the rear seat 3, the tip of the backrest 2 of the front seat 1 that is fully tilted backwards will be at the seat part 4 of the rear seat 3, as shown in FIG.
The backrest of the front seat 1 connects to the front end of the rear seat 3, allowing you to lie down in a comfortable position over a wide area.However, if the interior length of the vehicle is short,
Since the user cannot fully lean down by folding over the top, he or she has to lie down on only the area of the backrest 2, making it difficult to rest in a very comfortable position.

<Purpose of the invention> The purpose of this invention is to make a part of the rear seat backs flush with each other when the front seat backs are tilted, so that the upper body of the occupant can be supported even if the front seat backs are not tilted forward. The present invention provides a rear seat that has an expanded area and allows the user to lie down in a comfortable position.

<Structure of the invention> The characteristic structure of the invention is that the backrest of the rear seat is divided into an upper half and a lower half, and the lower half can be freely pivoted forward so that it is parallel to the seat surface. The upper half is pivotally mounted, and the upper half is connected to the lower half so that it can be bent backwards, and this connecting part is provided with a locking device for connecting the upper half and the lower half in normal use.

<Embodiments> Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. In FIG. 2, 5 is the backrest of the rear seat 3. This backrest 5 is divided into an upper half 5a and a lower half 5b.
is pivotally connected to the front of the seat portion 4 of the rear seat 3 by a hinge 6 so as to be parallel to the seat surface.

The upper half 5a has a hinge plate 7 fixed to both sides of the back surface thereof and a hinge plate 8 fixed to both sides of the lower half 5b by a pin 9. It is capable of tilting and bending.
The hinge plate 7 on the side of the upper half 5a is provided with a stopper 10 for regulating and supporting the backward bending position of the upper half 5a.

Furthermore, it has a locking device for connecting the upper half 5a and the lower half 5b in normal use.
This lock device has pins 11 protruding from both lower sides of the upper half 5a, and a hook 12 that engages and disengages from the pin 11 is rotatably pivoted by a pin 13 to a hinge plate 8 on the lower half 5b side. wear. And hook 1
2 is configured such that a spring 14 always applies rotational force in the direction of engagement with the pin 11, and a lever 15 is used to release the lock of the hook 12 from engagement with the pin 11. This lock release lever 15 is provided on a connecting rod 16 that is rotatably spanned between the hinge plates 8 on both sides, and the connecting rod 16 and the hook 12 are connected to the link 1.
7 and rod 18. Therefore, by operating one lever 15, both hooks 12 are unlocked at the same time. Furthermore, 1
9 indicates the stopper of the hook 12.

Further, the upper half 5a is provided with a device that locks it against the vehicle body when used as a normal backrest. The mechanism includes a hook 20 that is rotated by a knob 21 on the upper half 5a, and this hook 20 is connected to a striker 20 attached to the vehicle body.
It is becoming more and more connected to and disconnected from the government.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above structure will be explained in relation to the front seat 1 with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

First of all, FIG. 3 shows the state in which it is used as a normal backrest, and the upper half 5a and the lower half 5b are connected to the hook 12.
is coupled in a locked state in which it engages with the pin 11, and a hook 20 provided on the upper half portion 5a engages with a striker 22.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a resting state in which the backrest 2 of the front seat 1 is tilted backward. In this case, the upper half 5a
Remove the hook 20 from the striker 22, disengage the hook 12 from the pin 11 using the lever 15, swing the lower half 5b forward so that it is parallel to the seat surface of the seat 4, and then lower the upper half 5b. 5a is bent backward until it comes into contact with a stopper 10 provided on the hinge plate 7. As a result, the seat portion 4 of the rear seat 3
The upper half portion 5a is bent backward with respect to the tip of the backrest 2 of the front seat 1 which is folded upward and tilted backward.
are placed in parallel on the same slope, expanding the support area for the occupant's upper body.

Furthermore, FIG. 5 shows the upper half 5a and lower half 5 of FIG.
In the connected state b, the hook 20 of the upper half 5a is removed from the striker 22, the upper half 5a and the lower half 5b are both brought down onto the upper surface of the seat 4, and the back surface of the backrest 5 is used as a luggage compartment. This shows that.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to the invention, the interior length of the vehicle is short, and therefore the distance between the front seat and the rear seat is small. If you want to wrap,
The upper half of the backrest of the rear seat is connected to the backrest of the front seat, which is tilted back, on the same slope, providing a wide area of support for the body, allowing the user to lie down and rest in a comfortable position. It has many utility values as it can also form a flat luggage compartment behind the front seats.
