Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a vehicle seat equipped with a reclining mechanism, and particularly to a cover structure thereof.

(Prior Art) Vehicle seats such as automobile seats equipped with a reclining mechanism include a seat cushion in which a cushion material is supported by a seat cushion frame, which is covered with a seat cushion cover, and a reclining adjustment fitting is attached to the side of the seat cushion. The upper plate of the reclining adjustment fitting is attached and fixedly connected to the side surface of the seat back, and the reclining adjustment fitting exposed on the outer surface is usually covered with a garnish made of synthetic resin. (For example, Utsukai 57
(Publication No. 40350) (Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in such conventional car seats, the seat cover and the garnish are made of different materials, giving a sense of discomfort, and the reclining adjustment fittings are not connected to the seat cushion. Moreover, the outer surface of the seat bag bulges out when covered with a garnish, and the design is unsatisfactory.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to a vehicle seat that solves the above-mentioned problems, and includes a seat cushion and a seat back that are connected to each other by a reclining adjustment fitting so that the inclination can be adjusted freely. In a vehicle seat covered with a cover and a seat back cover, a flat bag-like part with an arcuate upper bottom is provided upward at the rear end of the side cover of the seat cushion cover, and the bag-like part is attached to the seat. While covering the shape-retaining wire raised from the cushion frame,
A vehicle seat characterized in that a guide cover is attached to the lower end of the seat back cover, the guide cover being positioned outside the reclining adjustment fitting and allowing the bag-shaped part to be slidably inserted therein.

(Function) Such a vehicle seat, like conventional seats of this kind, is mounted inside the vehicle body and can be used by adjusting the inclination angle of the seat back by operating a reclining adjustment fitting when necessary.

(Embodiment) Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a seat cushion, and the seat cushion 1 has a well-known gear engagement lock type reclining adjustment fitting 2 on the side. A cushion material 4 is cut and supported on a seat cushion frame 3 to which a seat cushion cover 6 is attached. covered with. The seat cushion cover 6 is provided with a long window hole on its upper side surface into which the upper plate 2a of the reclining adjustment fitting 2 is loosely inserted, and the upper plate 2a projects upward through the long window hole. A flat bag-like part 9 whose upper end is formed into an arcuate upper bottom part 8 is connected to the rear end of the outer cover part 7, which is the outside of this long window hole, and this bag-like part 9 is connected to a seat cushion frame. It is covered with a shape-retaining wire 10 that stands up on the rear side of the frame 3. 12 is a seat bag,
An upper plate embedding portion 13 having an open lower end is formed on the side of the seat back 12, and the upper plate 2a is inserted and fixed into the upper plate embedding portion 13. Reference numeral 14 denotes a seat back cover that is covered by the seat back 12. At the lower end of the seat back cover 14, there is a shape retaining member located outside the reclining adjustment fitting 2 and into which the bag-like portion 9 is slidably inserted. A guide cover 15 made of durable plastic is attached by sewing or other means.

The seat configured in this manner is installed in the vehicle body like conventional seats for this type of vehicle, and when necessary, the inclination of the seat back 12 is adjusted by operating a control lever (not shown) to operate the reclining adjustment fitting 2. The seat is seated at an optimal tilt angle.
Since the reclining adjustment fitting 2 is located inside the seat cushion cover 6 and the seat cover 14, the reclining adjustment fitting 2 is not exposed to the outside and may not bulge out on the outer surface of the seat back 12 or the seat cushion 1. In particular, at the rear end of the side covering part 7 of the seat cushion cover 6, a bag-shaped part 9 whose upper end is an arcuate upper bottom part 8 is provided, and this is provided on the seat cushion frame 3 side and attached to the shape-retaining wire 10. Since it is made to stand up by covering it and this rising part is inserted into the guide cover 15 provided at the lower end of the side of the seat cushion cover 14, not only an extremely good-looking finish can be obtained, but also
The seat back cover 14 is not wrinkled or deformed when the reclining operation is repeated.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides a bag-shaped portion at the rear end of the seat cushion cover and covers the shape-retaining wire on the seat cushion frame side. By simply providing a guide cover that allows the bag-shaped portion to be slidably inserted into the seat cover, the reclining adjustment fittings are properly concealed within both covers, improving the appearance and preventing damage or deformation of the seat cover during the reclining operation. This seat has the advantage of being simple in structure and can be provided at low cost, and is of great practical value as it solves the problems of conventional vehicle seats of this type.
