Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automobile seat in which a skin is attached to cover the seat frame from the outside.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional general automobile seat, a cushion member is placed on a seat frame, a skin is placed over the cushion member, and a peripheral portion of the skin is fixed to the seat frame. In addition, the middle part of this skin is appropriately folded inward, and this folded part is connected to an S spring, wire, etc. fixed to the seat frame side via a mounting member, thereby creating a recessed part on the outer surface of the seat. It is formed.

FIG. 5 shows an example of its structure.
In the figure, reference numeral 101 indicates a portion where the skin is folded inward (towards the seat frame), and a mounting member 102 made of resin, leather, or the like is sewn along the lower edge of this folded portion 101. This mounting member 102 has approximately the same length as the folded portion 101, and is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 102a along its longitudinal direction. Then, with a connecting member such as a clip passed through this connecting hole 102a, the attachment member 102 is connected to a member on the seat frame side by this connecting member. Due to this connection, a tensile force is applied to the folded portion 101 and the mounting member 102 toward the seat frame (see the downward arrow in the figure).

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

Considering the strength of the mounting member 102, the connecting holes 102a on both outer sides of the mounting member 102 must be located at least a certain distance l or more inward from the side end of the mounting member 102. Therefore, it is not possible to apply a tensile force directly to the side edge of the folded portion 101 toward the seat frame, and for this reason, the side edge of the folded portion 101 is connected to the frame side (i.e., the connecting hole 1
This causes problems such as wrinkles in the outer skin of the sheet, which impairs its appearance.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention prevents the side edges of the folded portion of the skin from lifting up.
An object of the present invention is to provide an automobile seat that can improve its appearance.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the present invention, the middle part of the skin is folded inward, a mounting member having a connecting hole is joined to this folded part, and the connecting member is passed through the connecting hole of the mounting member, and the connecting member is used to attach the skin. In the automobile seat in which the member is connected to the seat frame side, the side end of the mounting member is extended to a position outside the side end of the folded portion of the skin, and the folded portion is connected to the seat frame at the mounting member. A connecting hole is provided at a position approximately on an extension line of the side end of the portion.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, a portion of the mounting member that is approximately on an extension line of the side edge of the folded skin portion is connected to the seat frame side, so that this connection allows the side edge of the folded skin portion to be connected to the seat frame side. The tensile force of is applied directly.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The seat in this embodiment consists of a bottom sheet 1 and a seat back 2 as shown in FIG. 2, and the bottom sheet 1 includes a bottom frame (seat frame) 3 as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of bottom pads, and an outer skin 4 made of leather or the like. At the bottom of the bottom frame 3, a large number of wires 5 are stretched in the front-rear direction and width direction of the seat, and the bottom pad is placed on these wires 5. Furthermore, a hook portion 3a for attaching a skin 4 is formed on the peripheral edge of the bottom frame 3.

The skin 4 has a shape that opens downward and integrally covers the bottom frame 3 and the bottom pad from above, and a band plate 6 made of synthetic resin or the like is sewn to the peripheral edge thereof. Both ends of this strip plate 6 are joined, and the entire strip plate 6 is endless.

Furthermore, two portions in the front and back direction at the middle portion of the skin 4 are folded inward and guided downward, thereby forming a recessed portion 4a extending in the width direction of the seat. There is. Then, first and fourth
A mounting member 7, also shown in the figure, is sewn on.

This mounting member 7 is made by folding a belt-shaped member 7a made of leather or the like into a U-shape to form a ring at the bottom, and passing a reinforcing wire 7b through this ring.
The upper extension of the band member 7a is sewn to the folded portion 4b of the skin 4. This band-shaped member 7
A plurality of mounting holes 7c are provided at positions directly above the reinforcing wire 7b, and connecting members such as the connecting clip 8 shown in FIG. 4 are passed through the mounting holes 7c. It's becoming like that.

Furthermore, the feature of this structure is that the first
As shown in the figure, the lower portions of both side ends of the mounting member 7 are extended to a position outside both side ends of the folded portion 4b of the skin 4, thereby forming a tapered extension portion 7d. , and connecting holes 7 on both outer sides are located approximately below both ends of the folded portion 4b, that is, approximately on an extension line of the both ends.
c (see the two-dot chain line L in FIG. 1).

The procedure for assembling this sheet is to first place a plurality of bottom pads on the wires 5 stretched on the bottom frame 3, and then place the outer skin 4 on top of these.
cover the band plate 6 at the peripheral edge with the hook part 3.
Wrap it inside a and fix it to the bottom frame 3 side.

On the other hand, regarding the folded portion 4b of the skin 4, the mounting member 7 joined to the lower edge thereof is inserted from above into the gap between the bottom pads, and the connecting hole 7 is inserted into the gap between the bottom pads.
With the connecting clip 8 passed through the bottom frame 3, the connecting clip 8 is hooked onto the wire 5 stretched across the bottom frame 3 in the width direction (FIG. 4). This connects the attachment member 7 to the wire 5, with the result that a downward tensile force is applied to the attachment member 7 and the folded portion 4b, but as described above,
Since the attachment holes 7c on both outer sides of the attachment member 7 are provided at positions substantially below the side edges of the folded portion 4b, the above-mentioned tensile force acts directly on both side edges of the folded portion 4b. Therefore, unlike the conventional structure shown in FIG.
Improves the appearance of the sheet.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and can also take the following embodiments as examples.

(1) In the above embodiment, the skin 4 of the bottom sheet 1 has been described, but the structure of the present invention can be similarly applied to the skin on the seat back 2 side. Further, in this embodiment, the recess 4a is formed in the width direction of the seat, but the present invention can also be applied to cases in which the recess is formed in other directions, such as in the front-rear direction of the seat.

(2) In the present invention, the specific structure of the mounting member and the connecting member is not particularly limited; for example, the mounting member may be integrally molded into a belt shape from synthetic resin, or a hook or the like may be used as the connecting member. . Also,
The connection point of the mounting member 7 is the wire 5 as described above.
For example, it may be connected to an S spring attached to a normal seat frame.

(3) The connecting holes 7c on both outer sides do not necessarily have to be on the extension line of the side edge of the folded portion 4b, and may be slightly deviated from the extension line to the extent that the side edge does not rise. Furthermore, the side ends of the mounting member 7 may be extended to such an extent that sufficient strength can be ensured even when the connecting hole 7c is provided. In the above embodiment, only the lower part of the side end of the mounting member 7 is extended and the side end shape is tapered, but the side end of the mounting member 7 may be extended over the entire upper and lower regions.
However, by forming the tapered shape as described above, there is an advantage that increase in the cost of the product can be suppressed.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention extends the side end of the mounting member to be joined to the folded part of the skin to a position outside the side end of the folded part, and in this mounting member, the side end of the mounting member is joined to the folded part of the skin. Since the hole for connection with the seat frame is provided at a position approximately on the extension line of the side edge, by applying a tensile force directly to the side edge of the folded skin part, it is possible to prevent the side edge from lifting up. This has the effect of suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles and the like, thereby improving appearance.
