Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <<Industrial Application Field>> The present invention relates to a vehicle seat, and more particularly to a means for covering a seat additional part provided in the seat cushion.

<<Prior Art>> As conventional vehicle seats, those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are generally known.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a seat cushion, and reference numeral 2 indicates a seat back. A lifter motor 3 of a lift mechanism and a reclining mechanism 4 are attached to a side portion 1a of the seat cushion 1 as additional seat parts. In order to cover and protect these additional seat parts,
A finisher 5 is attached to the seat cushion side portion 1a by screws 6 and 7.

<<Problems to be Solved by the Invention>> However, when a separate finisher 5 is attached as a cover to cover and protect the seat additional parts, the finisher 5 is limited in design and does not look good as a whole.

Furthermore, since the finisher 5 is externally attached to the side of the seat cushion, there is a problem in that dirt and dust tend to accumulate thereon.

The object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat that does not accumulate dust and has a good appearance.

《Means for solving the problem》 The vehicle seat of the present invention has a seat cushion, which is constructed by covering the surface of a pad fixed to a seat frame with a skin material, and has a seat such as a reclining mechanism added to the inner side of the seat cushion. A vehicle seat comprising parts, the upper end of which is fixed to the seat frame,
Further, an extension of the skin material is attached to the outermost surface of the cover member that covers the sheet additional component, and the skin material covers the cover member.

<Operation> In the vehicle seat of the present invention described above, the seat additional parts are covered by the cover member and built into the seat cushion, and the cover member has an extension of the skin material attached to its outermost surface. This creates a sense of unity with the seat cushion, prevents dirt from accumulating, and improves the appearance.

<<Example>> FIG. 2 shows the overall structure of the vehicle seat of the present invention. Reference numeral 11 in the figure indicates a seat cushion, and reference numeral 12 indicates a seat back. Inside the side portion 11a of the seat cushion 11, seat additional parts such as a lifter motor 13 of a lift mechanism and a reclining mechanism 14 are installed. It is provided.

The specific structure of the side portion 11a of the seat cushion 11 is as shown in FIG. The pad 15 has a groove 17 surrounding the vertical wall 16a at a portion of the seat frame 16 where the vertical wall 16a is located.
is formed. Side end 15a of pad 15
is extended downward, but the seat frame 1
It does not cover 6 and is formed halfway.
A groove 17 is formed on the bottom side of the pad 15 from the center side.
A coarse blanket 18 is integrally attached to the pad 15 during foam molding. Then, the pad 15 is inserted by passing a worm clip (or hog ring) 19 between the coarse blanket 18 and a fixing hole (not shown) provided in the horizontal wall 16b of the seat frame 16.
It is fixed to the seat frame 16.

A lifter frame 21 is disposed directly below the seat frame 16, and this reflector frame 21
A lifter motor 13 is attached to the outside. A protection plate 22 serving as a cover member is provided to cover the lifter motor 13 and the reclining mechanism section 14 shown in FIG. 2, with its upper end 22a fixed to the seat frame 16.
The outermost surface 22b of the protection plate 22 is set to match the extended surface of the outer surface 15b of the pad 15, and the outermost surface 22b of the pad 15 and the outermost surface 22b of the protection plate 22 are covered with the skin material 23. A skin material 23 covers the protection plate 22 by pasting the extension part.
The end of the skin material 23 is fixed by a worm clip 25 passed between a fixing hole 24 (see FIG. 2) provided at the lower end 22b of the protection plate 22.

As a result, in the seat cushion 11, neither the seat additional parts nor the cover member are visible from the outside, and its surface becomes a continuous surface up to the side portion 11a, resulting in a good appearance.

In addition, seat additional parts are added to the seat cushion 11.
Since it is built inside, there is no need for an external cover such as a finisher, and dirt does not accumulate on it.

Further, since the outside of the seat frame 16 and the lifter frame 21 are not covered with the pad 15, the seat additional parts can be attached even after the frames 16, 21 and the pad 15 are assembled.

Furthermore, since the seat additional component is covered with the protective plate 22 and further covered with the skin material 23,
The seat additional parts can be sufficiently protected against external forces such as being hit by something, and the shape of the side portions of the seat cushion can be reliably maintained.

Further, the end of the skin material 23 is connected to the lower end 2 of the protection plate 22.
Since it is fixed to 2b, the terminal processing becomes easy.

Note that the operation switches for the lift mechanism section and the reclining mechanism section are provided on a door trim, an instrument panel, or the like.

《Effects of the invention》 The vehicle seat of the present invention is equipped with additional seat parts such as a reclining mechanism on the side of the seat cushion, which is constructed by covering the surface of a pad fixed to the seat frame with a skin material. In the seat, an extension of the skin material is attached to the outermost surface of a cover member whose upper end is fixed to the seat frame and which covers the seat additional parts, so that the skin material covers the cover member. As a result of this structure, seat additional parts such as the reclining mechanism are covered by the cover member and are not exposed from the sides of the seat cushion, and the outermost surface of this cover is an extension of the skin material that covers the pad. The side parts of the seat cushion, including the cover member, can create a sense of unity with the skin material, giving the appearance that the seat cushion itself is extremely thick. As a result, the luxurious feel of the seat can be increased.

In addition, in the present invention, as a result of attaching the extension part of the skin material to the outermost surface of the cover member, the number of parts can be reduced without requiring separate parts such as a bracket for processing the ends of the skin material. In addition, if the extension of the skin material is attached to the outermost surface of the cover member so that it is pulled in, the side part of the pad will have a good shape in terms of design, and the shape of the side part of the seat cushion will change. It can be held securely, and since external parts such as a finisher are not required, dirt and the like do not accumulate on it, and the appearance is good, making it suitable for use as a vehicle seat.
