Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a vehicle seat with a reclining mechanism.

(Prior Art) Vehicle seats in which a seat back is connected to the rear of a seat cushion through a reclining metal fitting so that the angle can be adjusted freely are widely used in addition to the front seats of passenger cars and as seats on buses and trains. Since the reclining metal fittings are exposed to the outside, it looks bad and there is also a risk that the exposed reclining metal fittings may injure the occupant. Therefore, a vehicle seat in which the reclining metal fittings are hidden inside the seat cover has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 55-7947, but the adjustable angle of the seat described in this publication is limited. In addition, there was a risk that the seat cover would be damaged during repeated use, so it could not be put to practical use.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The problems to be solved by the invention are to prevent the reclining metal fittings from being exposed to the outside, to make the adjustable angle as wide as the reclining metal fittings allow, and to make the reclining metal fittings as wide as possible during repeated use. To provide, at low cost, a vehicle seat with a reclining mechanism that is free from the risk of the seat cover being damaged by a reclining metal fitting.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The vehicle seat of the present invention is a vehicle seat in which a seat bag is connected to the rear part of the seat cushion via a reclining metal fitting in an angle-adjustable manner. A molded cover made of synthetic resin held on the fixed side member of the molded cover is held to cover the seatback cover, and at the lower end of the seatback cover that is covered by the seatback, stretchable sheet pieces are arranged in series to hide both outer surfaces of the molded cover, and the ends thereof are It is characterized in that it is fixed to the lower end of the molded cover.

(Function) The device configured as described above is assembled in the vehicle in a conventional manner, and the occupant adjusts the inclination angle of the seat back relative to the seat cushion to the required angle as necessary by operating the operating lever of the reclining fitting. The seat is used in the same way as a conventional vehicle seat with a reclining mechanism.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be described in detail using the illustrated front seat for a passenger car as an example. 1 is a seat cushion having a seat cushion frame covered with a seat cushion cover 3 via a pad material 2. At the rear of the seatback is a seatback 6 which is covered with a seatback cover 5 via a pad material 4 on the seatback frame, and whose angle can be freely adjusted via a reclining fitting 7 on one side and a hinge fitting on the other side (not shown). is connected to. The reclining fitting 7 is mounted between a recess 1a and a recess 6a provided at the upper end of one side of the seat cushion 1 and the lower end of one side of the seat cushion 6 so as to be operated by an operating lever 9 attached to a reclining arm 8. Although a detailed explanation will be omitted since it is a fixed side member 7a that is attached to one rear side of the seat cushion frame with its upper end protruding, and a movable side member 7b that is attached to one side of the lower end of the seat back frame. and a joint mechanism that is unlocked by operating the operating lever 9. Reference numeral 10 denotes a molded cover made of synthetic resin held on the fixed side member 7a of the reclining metal fitting 7, and the molded cover 10 covers the upper halves of both sides of the reclining metal fitting 7 from the outside. Numeral 11 is an elastic sheet piece that is connected to the lower end of the seat back cover 5 and hides both outer surfaces of the molded cover 10, and is made of a knitted fabric such as knitted fabric or a fabric woven with elastic threads. Become,
The elastic sheet piece 11 is inserted into the recess 1a of the seat cushion 1 so that it is in an expanded state when the inclination angle of the seat bag 6 is maximized, and then it is rolled up and engaged with the lower end of the side plate of the molded cover 10. It is fixed by simple means such as bolts or screws. Although not shown, both sides of the hinge fitting connecting the seat cushion 1 and the seat back 6 on the opposite side of the reclining fitting 7 are covered with a molded cover similar to the molded cover 10, and are also covered with the elastic sheet piece. Both outer surfaces of this molded cover are hidden by elastic sheet pieces similar to No. 11.

(Effect of the invention) In this vehicle seat, the inclination angle of the seat back 6 with respect to the seat cushion 1 can be adjusted by unlocking the joint mechanism of the reclining fitting 7 by operating the operating lever 9, unlike the conventional reclining mechanism. Although it is similar to a vehicle seat, in the present invention, at least a portion of the reclining fitting 7 located in the gap between the seat back 6 and the seat cushion 1 is covered with a molded cover 10 made of synthetic resin, and both sides of the molded cover 10 are covered with a molded cover 10 made of synthetic resin. The outer surface is hidden by an elastic sheet piece 11 that is connected to the lower end of the seat back cover 5 covered by the seat back 6 and whose end is fixed to the lower end of the molded cover 10. Even if the seat back 6 and the seat cushion 1 Become something. Moreover, the stretchable sheet piece 11 does not bunch up even when the inclination angle is made small due to its stretchability, and since the stretchable sheet piece 11 is once covered with the molded cover 10 and the stretchable sheet piece 11 is provided on both outer surfaces of the molded cover 10, the stretchable sheet piece 11 Piece 11
There is no risk that the reclining fittings 7 will be bitten and damaged. Furthermore, the assembly work is relatively easy since it is only necessary to insert the end of the elastic sheet piece 11 into the recess 1a of the seat cushion 1 and fix the end to the lower end of the molded cover 10 in the final process of installation into the vehicle. It has the advantage of being simple and having a simple structure, as well as being able to provide it at low cost.

Therefore, the present invention has great practical value as it solves the problems of conventional vehicle seats with reclining mechanisms.
