Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a protection device for a vehicle seat, particularly for a seat having foldable legs at the bottom of the seat cushion. The invention relates to a protective device that prevents damage to fingers and fingers.

Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, for example, in automobiles used for both cargo and passenger purposes, the first
As shown in the figure, a vehicle in which a retractable seat 2 is installed in a rear luggage compartment 1 is known. This retractable seat 2 is constructed by folding a seat back 3 onto a seat cushion 4, and then pivoting the seat cushion 4 toward the front seat 8 using the lower end of the front legs 5 as a fulcrum, as shown by the dashed line. , and has a structure in which the rear legs 6 are folded inward along the lower surface of the seat cushion 4.

When operating this type of retractable seat 2, the following two problems may occur. Firstly, if the seat 2 is accidentally rotated in the seating direction with the rear legs 6 folded, the mounting bracket 7 will slide onto the cargo floor 1a as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
The other problem is that the rear leg 6
When the user attempts to pull up the product from the folded state, the user's fingers may become caught between the mounting bracket 7 and the legs 6, resulting in injury.

Purpose of the invention The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional art, and its purpose is to provide a vehicle seat protection device that can prevent damage to the floor and fingers from being jammed by the mounting bracket.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention attaches a protector made of an elastic material to the lower part of the mounting bracket to cover the lower surface of the mounting bracket, and inserts a finger into the lower opening into which the legs of the protector are inserted. A prevention elastic piece is integrally provided.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 2 and the following diagrams show an example of the present invention applied to the retractable seat shown in FIG. , 12 are legs foldably attached to the mounting bracket 11 via hinge pins 13. There is a spring mounting pin 1 on the back of the mounting bracket 11.
4 is fixed, and by providing a tension spring 15 between this pin 14 and the leg 12, the leg 1
2 can be held in two positions: an upright position (dotted chain line in Figure 3) and a folded position (solid line in Figure 3).

Reference numeral 16 denotes a protector made of a soft elastic material such as rubber, and this protector 16 is attached to the lower part of the mounting bracket 11 so as to cover the lower surface of the mounting bracket 11. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, bent pieces 11a are formed on both sides of the lower part of the mounting bracket 11.
Insert the protrusions 16a on both sides of the protector 16 into the inside of the protector 16, and insert the mounting screws 17 into the screw holes 1 of the mounting bracket 11 through the insertion holes 16b of the protector 16.
By screwing onto 1b, the protector 16
Securely fixed at the point. When the leg body 12 is rotated in the standing direction, the leg body 12 is attached to the lower surface of the protector 16.
An opening 16c is formed into which the finger is inserted, and an elastic piece 16d for preventing finger insertion is integrally formed in the opening 16c in the opposite direction.

In the above configuration, even if the seat is accidentally rotated in the seating direction with the legs 12 folded,
As shown in FIG. 3, the protector 16 covering the lower surface of the mounting bracket 11 comes into contact with the floor 1a, and since this protector 16 plays the role of a cushion, there is no risk of damaging the floor 1a or the carpet.

Furthermore, when the legs 12 are pulled up from the folded state, the elastic pieces 16d cover the openings 16c when the legs 12 and the elastic pieces 16d are not in contact with each other, so that a finger may be accidentally inserted into the openings 16c. There is no risk of When the legs 12 are rotated to the standing position, the elastic pieces 16d are pushed open to both sides by the legs 12 as shown in FIG. 4, allowing the legs 12 to rotate without resistance. Therefore, leg 1
2 in the standing direction, there is no risk of fingers being caught between the mounting bracket 11 and the leg 12, and since the elastic piece 16d is easily bent, the smooth rotation of the leg 12 is not impaired. .

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the bottom side of the mounting bracket is covered with a protector, so even if the seat is rotated in the seating direction with the legs folded, the protector will not touch the floor. When it hits, it becomes a cushion and there is no risk of damaging the floor or carpet.

Further, since an elastic piece for preventing finger insertion is provided in the lower opening of the protector, when the leg is pulled up in the standing direction, the finger will not be accidentally inserted into the opening, and finger jamming can be prevented. Moreover, since the elastic pieces are easily bent by the legs, they do not hinder the smooth rotation of the legs.
