Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is used as an upholstery for a vehicle seat in which the seat back and seat cushion are separated, such as an automobile seat where the seat back is adjustable in inclination. This relates to seat covers for cars.

(Prior Art) Various materials have been used as upholstery materials for vehicle seats, but all of the conventional materials have only been designed to properly cover the seat cushion or seat back. Because it is designed
In a vehicle seat where a seat bag covered with a conventional seat cover is attached to the rear of a seat cushion covered with a conventional seat cover, there is a gap between the lower end of the seat bag and the rear end of the seat cushion. Small items placed on the seat cushion may fall backward through this gap. As a means to solve such problems, there is
As seen in Publication No. 61636, an idea was previously proposed in which a cloth band-like member was stretched over the rear end of the seat cushion to close the gap between the seat bag and the seat cushion. Seats for other types of vehicles are made of cloth and cannot stand on their own, so they require a mechanism to maintain tension so that the gap is closed at all times, making them expensive and requiring time and effort to install and adjust the inclination of the seat back. .

(Problem to be solved by the invention) The problem to be solved by the invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to constantly close the gap between the seat back and the seat cushion by simply covering the seat cover. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive vehicle seat cover that can be used in a vehicle.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The vehicle seat cover of the present invention that solves the above-mentioned problems is a vehicle seat cover that is used as an upholstery for a vehicle seat in which a seat back and a seat cushion are separated. The present invention is characterized in that a series of shape-retaining strips having a flexible core material for closing the gap between the seat bag and the seat cushion are formed at the end of the main body of the cover.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be described in detail using the seat cushion shown in FIG. 1 as an example.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cover body sewn from synthetic resin leather fabric such as vinyl chloride resin leather fabric, woven fabric, etc., and a sewn line on the back end of the cover body 1 with the side covering part 2. is a series of shape-retaining strips 3 having a width approximately equal to the rear width of the cover main body 1 and a height of approximately 3 to 6 cm.
is sewn with its lower end interposed between the sewn portion of the cover main body 1 and the side covering portion 2. The shape-retaining strip 3 is made by folding a strip made of the same material as the cover main body 1 into two and sandwiching a strip-shaped flexible core material 4 between them. As a result, the shape-retaining strip 3 has shape-retaining properties as a whole, and becomes self-supporting when the cover main body 1 is covered with the seat cushion pad, as will be described later. In addition, in this example, the shape-retaining strip 3
is formed as a separate member and sewn at the same time when sewing the cover main body 1, but it can also be formed integrally by bending a part of the cover main body 1 and sandwiching the flexible core material 4 inside, The shape-retaining strip 3 may be manufactured separately from the cover main body 1 and then attached to the sewn cover main body 1.

(Function) When this structure is used, for example, as an upholstery for the seat cushion of an automobile seat whose seat back can be adjusted in inclination like a conventional seat cover, the end of the cover main body 1 A series of shape-retaining strips 3 are formed with a flexible core material 4 that closes the gap between the seat back and the seat cushion, and the seat cushion pad is simply covered with the cover main body 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the gap 13 between the seat cushion 11 and the seat bag 12 is always closed by the shape-retaining strip 3 which is in a self-supporting state. This can appropriately prevent small objects etc. from falling backward through this gap 13. Moreover, since the flexible core material 4 of the raised shape-retaining strip 3 is bendable, it adapts to the movement of the seat bag 12 and does not get in the way when adjusting the inclination angle of the seat bag 12. Moreover, there is no problem when stacking or folding a large number of sheets.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention covers one seat body as an upholstery for a vehicle seat in which the seat back and seat cushion are separated, similar to conventional vehicle seat covers. This device can accurately close the gap formed between the seat cushion and the seat back to prevent small items placed on the seat cushion from falling to the back of the seat. A series of shape-retaining strips with a core material normally maintains an independent state without any auxiliary mechanism, and when adjusting the inclination of the seat back, they are bent to accommodate the movement of the seat back, so the fabric strip can be used to fill the gap. There is no need for a tensioning mechanism like in the conventional closed-off type, and the seat back can be provided at a low cost, and it has the advantage of being easy to install and adjust the inclination of the seat back.

Therefore, the present invention has great practical value as it solves the problems of conventional seat covers for vehicles of this type.
