Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a folding seat on the rear side of an automobile, particularly a one-box car.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the present invention]

For example, as a conventional folding sheet,
There is one shown in Publication No. 60-143143.

According to this structure, when folding the seat bag, the seat bag is first folded forward, and then the seat cushion, in which the seat bag is overlapped, is rotated so that it follows the side wall of the vehicle body.

However, the person sitting on the seat cushion must always sit facing forward, and there is a limit to the degree of freedom in the seating configuration.

In addition, manufacturing costs are high because the seat back is pushed back and turned into a fully flat seat that can be placed on the bed with other seats, so it is necessary to always make the seat large so that there are no gaps between the seat and the other seats.
It becomes heavy.

Therefore, the present invention considers the folding operation as one movement,
The purpose is to prevent inconvenience and to reduce the weight of the seat.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a folding seat for an automobile, which includes a frame-shaped first sheet member that can be rotated and supported in a position along the side wall of the vehicle body and in a substantially horizontal position; It consists of a rectangular second sheet member that is formed in a shape that surrounds the sides and can be rotated and supported in a position along the side wall of the vehicle body and in a substantially horizontal position, and the first sheet member is along the side wall of the vehicle body. A first mode in which the second sheet member is in a substantially horizontal position; a second mode in which the first sheet member and the second sheet member are both along the side wall of the vehicle body; A seat is also provided in which a third mode can be selected in which both the first seat member and the second seat member are in a substantially horizontal position, one of which remains horizontal and serves as a seat, and the other is placed upward. It is characterized by the fact that it can be stood upright and used as a backrest.

[Effect]

Since such a folding seat is used, when the second seat member is placed in a substantially horizontal position, the second seat member can be used as a seat and the first seat member can be used as a backrest, and the second seat member can be lifted upward to secure the vehicle body. Just by moving it along the side wall of the car, you can expand the interior space of the car. In addition, if not only the second seat member but also the first seat member is placed in a substantially horizontal position, it becomes a seat with a large area, so that even a large person can sit comfortably, and this folding seat can also be placed horizontally with a single leg. , it can also be used as a bed by placing one leg on each side. Therefore, the first sheet member of the folding seat is light because of the hollow frame-shaped backrest, and the second sheet member is light because of the small seat portion.

Furthermore, by providing a seat and making it possible to keep one side horizontal and use it as a seat, and the other one to stand up and use it as a backrest, it is possible to secure a sitting position facing forward, and as mentioned above. By using the first seat member as a backrest, it is possible to secure a seated position facing to the side.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a side wall of a vehicle body, and a frame-shaped first sheet member 3 can be rotated by a hinge 2 to a position along the side wall 1 and to a substantially horizontal position. Similarly, a rectangular second sheet member 8 is supported by a hinge 7 on the side wall 1 and is rotatable to a position along the side wall 1 and a substantially horizontal position, and this second sheet member 8 has three side edges that are similar to the first sheet member. It is arranged so that it is surrounded by 3.
Further, the second seat member 8 is brought into a substantially horizontal position by the legs 4 supported by the pins 9 in the recesses 10 of the second seat member 8 engaging with the engaging portions 6 on the floor surface 5 of the vehicle body. considered to be supportable. Further, the first sheet member 3 can be supported in a substantially horizontal position by a stopper (not shown) of the second sheet member 8. or,
Instead of the hinge 7, the second sheet member 8 may be rotatably supported by a support shaft provided on the first sheet member 3.

In FIG. 1, such folded sheets 11 are arranged side by side.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1, by placing the second seat member 8 in a horizontal position and engaging the legs 4 with the engaging portions 6 on the floor surface 5, the first seat member 3 can be used as a seat. can do.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the second sheet member 8 is lifted upward and placed inside the first sheet member 3, and the legs 4 are folded so that it runs along the side wall 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, by laying down the first and second sheet members 3 and 8 substantially horizontally and supporting them with the legs 4, a large area can be secured. Therefore, by making the folded sheet 11 face-to-face, it can be used as a bed.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, if one folding seat 11 is kept horizontal while the other folding seat 11 is erected upward and supported by a device not shown, the seat can be made to face forward. I can do it. In FIG. 5, 12 is a side window glass, and 13 is a rear window glass.

The engaging portion 6 may have a cross section recessed from the general floor surface 5 as shown in FIG. 6, or may be a recessed portion formed between twin ridges 6a as shown in FIG. 6b
In this case, as shown in Figure 8, the embankment 6
A may be formed by discontinuous dams 6c, or may be formed by continuous dams 6d as shown in FIG.

Further, by forming an inwardly recessed portion of the first sheet member 3 as shown in 14 in FIG. 1, a space can be provided in which a pot or the like can be placed.

〔effect〕

Therefore, according to the present invention, the person sitting on the seat cushion can select the front and side seating positions, so when the occupants are having a conversation or playing a game in the car, they can sit facing the side. The passenger can be seated facing forward when centrifugal force is applied to the passenger, such as when driving. Furthermore, since the first sheet member is in the shape of a frame, the sheet can be lightweight, which has significant effects such as improving fuel efficiency.
