Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To improve the appearance and expand the luggage compartment space when the rear seats are not used. [Structure] A seat cushion 5 of a rear seat 4 is rotatably supported around a pivot shaft 7, the rear seat 4 is slidable to a rear position of the front seat 1, and the seat cushion 5 is flipped up to slide the rear seat 4 forward. By doing so, the dead space d is reduced and the space of the luggage compartment is secured without exposing the bottom surface of the seat cushion.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is intended to improve the appearance of a vehicle seat when the rear seat is not used and to expand the luggage compartment space.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Generally, in van type and wagon type vehicles, when the rear seat is not used, the seat is folded to secure a storage space for luggage.

FIG. 8 shows an example of this conventional folding rear seat.

The seat back 101 of the rear seat 100 is tiltably supported forward, and the rear seat 100 is rotatable about the lower end of the front leg as a fulcrum. During normal use, the rear legs of the rear seat 100 are fixed by the fixing means 102. In the figure, 103 is a front seat, and 104 is a seat back of the front seat 103.

When the rear seat 100 is not in use, after the seat back 101 of the rear seat 100 is tilted forward, the rear leg fixing means 102 of the rear seat 100 is released, and the lower end of the front leg of the rear seat 100 is used as a fulcrum. The front seat 103 is pivoted forward, and is flipped up to the back side of the seat back 104 of the front sheet 103 to form a luggage compartment 105 to secure a storage space.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Even when the rear seat 100 is flipped up to form the luggage compartment 105, the legs remain on the rear seat 100 side and a large dead space D is generated, and the leg supporting portions remain on the floor surface. In addition, the effort required to flip up the rear seat 100 was great, and the bottom surface of the rear seat 100 was visible, which was unattractive.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The configuration of the present invention for solving the above problems is characterized in that the seat cushion of the rear seat is supported rotatably around an axis extending in the vehicle width direction, and the rear seat is slidably provided to the rear position of the front seat. And

[0008]

[Action]

 Secure the luggage storage space by rotating and flipping the seat cushion and sliding the rear seat to the rear position of the front seat.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows a side surface of a vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows a side surface of a seat cushion that is flipped up, and FIG. 3 shows a side surface of a rear seat that is slid.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front seat, and a recessed portion 3 is formed on a back surface of a seat back 2 of the front seat 1. 4 is a rear seat, and the rear seat 4 is composed of a seat cushion 5 and a seat back 6. The seat cushion 5 of the rear seat 4 is supported rotatably around a rotating shaft 7 extending in the vehicle width direction, and the rear seat 4 is supported by a slide rail 8. The rear seat 4 is slidable up to the rear portion of the front seat 1.

When the rear seat 4 is not used, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the seat cushion 5 is flipped up around the rotary shaft 7. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the rear seat 4 is slid to the rear position of the front seat 1, and the seat cushion 5 flipped up is housed in the recess 3.

As a result, the dead space d can be reduced and the bottom surface of the seat cushion 5 is not exposed.

A rotating mechanism and a fixing mechanism of the seat cushion 5 of the rear seat 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

The seat cushion 5 is rotationally biased in the upward direction (arrow A direction in the figure) by a biasing means (not shown). A stopper pin 9 is attached to the rear portion of the seat cushion 5, and a lever 10 that engages with the stopper pin 9 is provided on the rear seat 4. The lever 10 is rotationally biased by a biasing means (not shown) in a direction to engage the stopper pin 9 (direction of arrow B in the figure). In the state shown in FIG. 4, the lever 10 is rotated in the direction of the arrow b against the biasing force to release the engagement with the stopper pin 9, so that the seat cushion 5 is attached as shown in FIG. It will be in a state of jumping up depending on the power.

As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) in a side view and a front view, the seat cushion 5 is fixed by inserting a pin 11 into the seat cushion 5 side instead of the lever 10. Is also possible.

FIGS. 7A and 7B show the side surface and the front surface of the rear seat 4 in which the seat surface angle of the seat cushion 5 is adjustable.

By attaching the fixing plate 13 having the plurality of pin holes 12 to the seat cushion 5 and selecting the pin hole 12 into which the pin 11 is inserted, the angle of the seat surface of the seat cushion 5 can be changed. As an example of use, when making a full flat seat, the seat surface of the seat cushion 5 is made horizontal, and when a person sits down, the front side is slightly raised.

In the vehicle seat described above, the seat cushion 5 is rotatably supported around the rotation shaft 7, and the rear seat 4 is slidable to the rear position of the front seat 1. Therefore, the seat cushion 5 is flipped up. By sliding the rear seat 4 forward, the dead space d can be reduced and the space of the luggage compartment can be secured without exposing the bottom surface of the seat cushion 5. Further, since the seat cushion 5 is urged to rotate, the seat cushion 5 can be rotated with a little labor.

[0019]

[Effect of the device]

 In the vehicle seat of the present invention, the seat cushion of the rear seat is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the vehicle width direction, and the rear seat is slidable to the rear position of the front seat. By flipping up and sliding the rear seat forward, you can reduce dead space and secure space for the luggage compartment without exposing the bottom of the seat cushion. As a result, it is possible to improve the appearance and expand the luggage compartment space when the rear seat is not used. Also, since the seat cushion is pivotally biased, it is easy to secure the luggage compartment with a little effort.
