Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle seat whose arrangement direction can be arbitrarily changed.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Various types of automobile seats are adopted according to their types and purposes. Normally, all seats are often arranged in the direction of travel, but in the case of focusing on social and comfort such as sightseeing buses, they may be arranged so that passengers can face each other. However, since the passenger compartment is generally narrow, the degree of freedom in seat layout is extremely low, and some back-and-forth movement is often taken into consideration, but it is usually not possible to produce a large pattern. .

[0003] In such a case, a passenger car with an engine installed, which is commonly called a so-called Bongo type, is a passenger car but has a wide living space. Therefore, when there are usually three rows of seats. There are many. The seats in the center row are usually two legs in order to secure a passage for moving the passenger compartment between the seats.

In this case, the front row which is the driver's seat and the last row whose position has been fixed have a small degree of freedom in changing the seat position, but the central row is quite free. Therefore, conventionally, there has been known a rotating seat in which the central row seat is made to rotate in the horizontal direction. By rotating the seat 180 °, it is possible to face the occupants of the seats in the last row, which is convenient for having a relaxing dialogue while the vehicle is running.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with the conventional rotating seats described above, even if the seats are rotated 180 ° to face the seats in the last row, the gaps (passages) between the left and right seats are formed in the same way as before the rotation. As a result, there are still two separate seats, and it is out of balance with the opposite bench seat in the last row.

In addition, when seated facing each other, the passage from the central row to the last row is already formed although it is unnecessary.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and when the seats in the central row are set in the traveling direction of the automobile, each seat is an independent separate seat. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automobile seat that becomes a bench seat for one leg when they are rotated 180 ° and face the seat in the rearmost row.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the vehicle seat of the present invention, a pair of separate type seats including a seat bottom and a seat back are arranged in the width direction of the vehicle, and are located in the central row of three rows of seats in the front-rear direction. In the state of facing the traveling direction, the pair of sheets are arranged so as to be separated from each other so as to form a passage therebetween, and each sheet is rotatably supported in an eccentric position, and each sheet is moved in the backward traveling direction. It is characterized in that the side edge portions of the seat bottoms are in contact with each other when rotated so as to face each other.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the pair of seats in the central row are rotatably supported in the eccentric position and are arranged so as to form a passage therebetween when facing each other in the traveling direction. By rotating each seat by 180 ° as necessary, the bench seat facing the seat in the last row is formed.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile seat according to the present invention. S is a seat provided in the passenger compartment 3 and includes a seat bottom 1 and a seat back 2. This seat S is arranged in the central row of the three rows of seats of a car commonly called a wagon type bongo type, and two separate type legs make up one row. The seats S are arranged at a predetermined interval, and a passage communicating with the rear seats is formed in the center of the passenger compartment 3.

Normally, the seat S is arranged so as to face the front of the vehicle body (in the direction of the arrow indicated by A in FIG. 1), and if necessary, a vertical axis (rotating means 6 which will be described later) provided at the bottom of the seat bottom 1. It is designed so that it can be turned to the rear by rotating about the rotating shaft 61).

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the seat bottom 1 is composed of a bottom plate 11 at the bottom and a cushion pad 12 provided thereon. A pair of slider rails 4 composed of an upper slider 41 and a lower slider 42 are disposed at both edges of the bottom plate 11 in the vehicle width direction at the bottom. The upper slider 41 is integrally provided on the bottom plate 11, and the lower slider 42 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 5, which will be described later.

The upper slider 41 is provided with a longitudinal notch on one side surface of a hollow tube having a rectangular cross section, and the bottom plate 1 with the notch facing downward. It is fixed to. Further, since the lower slider 42 is a long member having a T-shaped cross section and is fitted into the cutout portion of the upper slider 41, the sheet S can freely move back and forth while being restricted by these. it can.

Reference numeral 43 denotes a locking means for the sheet S using a known method. By operating the locking means 43, the movement of the sheet S can be locked and released at an arbitrary position. it can.

The base plate 5 is rotatably provided on the floor F via a rotating means 6. As the base plate 5, a flat plate having a predetermined thickness is usually used, but a frame in which a frame is assembled in a rectangular shape and braces are added thereto, or a thin plate provided with unevenness for maintaining strength may be used.

The rotating means 6 is composed of a rotating shaft 61 provided vertically on the bottom of the base plate 5, a receiving pipe 62 into which the free end of the rotating shaft 61 is fitted, and a locking rod 63. Therefore, the sheet S placed on the base plate 5 can freely rotate in the horizontal direction around the rotation shaft 61. The locking rod 63 is for locking the rotation of the seat S. One end of the locking rod 63 is screwed into a hole penetrating the side wall of the receiving pipe 62, and the other end is provided with a handle. . Therefore, when the rotation of the sheet S 1 is locked at the desired rotation position, the handle is operated at that position to advance the screwing.

In the present invention, the installation position of the rotating means 6 in the vehicle width direction (direction B in FIG. 1) is important. Normally, the rotary shaft of the rotating body is often provided at the center of gravity thereof, but in the case of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, it is provided more eccentrically than the center of the vehicle width. The distance L from the center of gravity of the eccentric shaft is one fourth of the minimum gap (passage) formed by the left and right seat bottoms 1 as shown in FIG.

Since the seat S is rotatably provided around the eccentric shaft as described above, the right-hand seat S shown in FIG. 3 rotates 180 ° clockwise (clockwise) and the left-hand seat S rotates counterclockwise. When it is rotated 180 °, the outer side edges become the inner side edges and come into contact with each other as shown in FIG. 4, forming a one-leg bench seat facing the last row seat.

In this case, the loci obtained by the rotation of the left and right sheets S must not overlap each other. Therefore, it is advisable to form an arc centering on the rotation axis 61 at the outer corners of both sheets S.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention is a two-legged seat provided with a predetermined gap in the central row arranged in three rows in the vehicle compartment, each of which is eccentric toward the center in the vehicle width direction. Since it is configured to be rotatable by providing a shaft, by rotating each of them in the opposite direction by 180 °, their both side edges come into contact with each other to form a one-leg bench seat and the seat in the last row. Since they face each other, a salon-like seating space can be created inside the car.
