Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is mainly used as a structure of an operating part in a reclining seat for an automobile.

(Prior art and its problems) As shown in FIG. 4, for example, a reclining adjuster a of a reclining seat performs a reclining operation by vertically moving an operating grip c attached directly to its operating lever b. Generally, the reclining operation is performed by remote control of the operating grip e attached to the tip of the operating wire d.
(See Publication No. 14718). In addition, instead of the operating wire d, the link mechanism is connected to an operating grip e and an operating lever b.
There are also devices in use that allow remote control by intervening between the

By the way, as shown in Figure 2, in a reclining seat where the width of the seat cushion is larger than the width of the seat back, it is not possible to attach a direct operation grip to the operating lever of the reclining adjuster and move it up and down to operate the reclining seat. It is structurally impossible.

Therefore, conventionally, reclining operations have been performed using remote control devices equipped with operating wires and link mechanisms, but this has the problem of complicating the structure and increasing manufacturing costs. There is a point.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention attaches a seat bag narrower in width than the seat cushion to the seat cushion via a reclining adjuster, and moves the operating lever of the reclining adjuster up and down. In a reclining seat in which the seat back can be reclined to a predetermined inclination position by rotating the seat cushion, a through hole is provided in the upper part of the actuating lever of the seat cushion, and a flexible band is inserted into the through hole to move the seat back up and down. The operating lever is linearly connected to the lower end of the band, and an operating grip is attached to the upper end of the band.

(Function) According to the present invention, by pulling up the operating grip located at a relatively easy-to-operate position on the seat cushion, the operating lever of the reclining adjuster is rotated upward, and the reclining operation is performed. I can do it. In addition, the band passes through the through hole provided in the seat cushion up and down and connects the operating lever and operating grip in the shortest possible distance, so it can be made shorter and has a shorter length than an operating wire or link mechanism. structure can be simplified. Furthermore, this band is made of a flexible material and flexes when a load is applied to the seat cushion, so that the operating grip is positioned on the seat cushion. However, the occupants can sit comfortably on top of it.

(Embodiment) In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the present invention is applied to a reclining seat in which the width of the seat cushion 1 is larger than the width of the seat back 2 as a rear seat of an automobile. Armrests 3 are disposed on both sides of the seat back 2 as shown by imaginary lines in FIG. 2, and when the arm rests 3 are upright, they are continuous with the seat back 2 and function as a backrest like the seat back 2.

A seat bag 2 is attached to an upper arm 5 of a reclining assistor 4 fixed to a seat cushion 1, and as the upper arm 5 rotates, the seat bag 2 also rotates together. A reclining operation is enabled by rotating the actuation lever 6 of the reclining adjuster 4 upward, and when the actuation lever 6 is in the downward movement position, the seat back 2 is maintained at a predetermined tilted position. 7 is a cover of the reclining adjuster 4.

A through hole 8 is provided in the upper portion of the actuating lever 6 of the seat cushion 1. The operating lever 6 is directly connected to the lower end of the band 9 which vertically passes through the through hole 8, and an operating grip 10 is attached to the upper end thereof.

The band 9 is flexible, and when the operating glyph 10 is grasped and pulled up, the operating lever 6 is rotated upward, thereby enabling a reclining operation. When the operating grip 10 is released, the operating lever 6 is rotated downward by a return spring installed in the reclining adjuster 4, and the operating grip 10 comes into contact with the seat cushion 1. The through hole 8 is formed into a slit-like hole sufficient to allow the band 9 to pass through. The operation grip 10 is formed in a shape that is easy to grip, and is also formed in a size that does not fall into the through hole 8.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration and function, even in a reclining seat where the width of the seat cushion is larger than the width of the seat back, the operating grip can be placed at an easy-to-operate position, and the structure is simple. Therefore, it is possible to provide a structure of an operating part of a reclining seat in which the manufacturing cost can be kept low and the seating feeling is not significantly impaired even when the operating grip is located on the seat cushion.
