Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a front seat device, and particularly to an improvement in the mounting structure of a shield cover that shields a relining mechanism, a sliding mechanism, and the like.

(Prior Art) A front seat device includes a seat cushion and a seat bag, and an operating section is provided on one side of the seat cushion. In other words, this type of front seat device adjusts depending on the body shape of the occupant.
The vehicle is equipped with an adjustment mechanism so that the driver can sit comfortably in a better posture and avoid fatigue during long drives, and the operation section is used to operate the adjustment mechanism. For example, a relining adjuster lever for operating the relining mechanism that allows the posture angle of the seat back to be adjusted; a seat slide adjuster lever for operating the slide mechanism that allows for overall position adjustment in the longitudinal direction; Particularly, high-end passenger cars are equipped with a height adjuster lever for moving the entire seat device up and down to adjust the height position and for operating the lid mechanism. Further, these mechanisms are shielded by a shield cover from which each of the levers protrudes.

The above shield cover is made of a very thin synthetic resin material, and is extremely long in the longitudinal direction, with a total length of approximately 500 to 600 mm. The sides have partial projections and recesses to cover the various mechanisms, and the installation is ingeniously designed in relation to these mechanisms. Given its total length, it is normal to install and fasten it to the side of the seat cushion in about three places. There are various installation methods, such as hooking it onto a hook provided on the seat cushion, fastening it with a mounting screw, or a combination of these. For a more reliable installation, it is better to use more of the above mounting screws.

The problem here is the attachment of the rear end of the shield cover. That is, this portion protrudes laterally to a greater extent than its front portion in order to cover the spring portion of the relining mechanism. Therefore, it is not possible to attach the side surface of the shield cover to the seat cushion with the mounting screws, so a bracket is provided at the rear end of the seat cushion, the rear end of the shield cover is overlapped with the bracket, and the mounting screws are attached to the bracket. It was installed and fixed using. Therefore, although reliable fixation is obtained, the heads of the mounting screws are easily visible to a seat on the rear side of the front seat device, that is, an occupant seated on the rear seat device. In the case of the mounting screws that attach and secure the sides of the shield cover, the heads cannot be easily seen unless the door is opened and the user takes a low position. However,
Since the rear end of the shield cover faces the rear seat device, it falls within the visual range of the occupant seated here. Therefore, measures have been taken to alleviate the appearance defect by applying decorative plating to the above-mentioned mounting screws in advance to make them look good, but since the head itself remains exposed, the plating process is less effective and expensive. This had a negative impact on costs.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention eliminates the poor appearance caused by the visible head of the mounting screw as described above, and improves the appearance with a relatively simple structure without changing the mounting position. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shield cover mounting structure for a front seat device that obtains the following.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the present invention consists of a seat cushion and a seat back, and includes a relining mechanism on one side of the seat cushion that allows the posture angle of the seat back to be adjusted, and a relining mechanism that allows the posture angle of the seat back to be adjusted. A shield cover for shielding a slide mechanism etc. whose position can be adjusted in the front-rear direction is attached, and a first rear end piece is provided at the rear end of the shield cover, and this is attached to the seat cushion with a screw. A second rear end piece is provided at a predetermined interval on the rear side of the first rear end piece and forms the outer shape of the shield cover, and covers the first rear end piece; This shield cover mounting structure for a front seat device is characterized in that the second rear end piece is provided with a through hole through which the mounting screw and a tool for tightening the mounting screw are inserted.

(Function) According to such a configuration, the second rear end piece is connected to the first rear end piece.
The rear end piece and the mounting screw are shielded to maintain the appearance, and the mounting screw is tightened through the through hole in the second rear end piece, so there is no problem.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the front seat device S includes a seat cushion 1 and a seat back 2.
It consists of An operating section 3 for operating a relining adjustment mechanism (not shown) is provided on one side of the seat cushion 1. This operation section 3
consists of a shield cover 4 and levers (not shown) for operating each of the above mechanisms. The shield cover 4 is constructed as shown in FIG. 2, is made of a thin synthetic resin material, and is extremely long in the longitudinal direction. In relation to the above-mentioned mechanisms and levers, it is partially formed into an uneven shape and is provided with a plurality of holes 40 for inserting the operating lever. Especially the rear end 4
a is bulged laterally, and this portion is constructed as shown in FIG.

That is, the rear end 4a of the shield cover 4
It has a double structure in the front and back direction. On the front side is a first rear end piece 5, in which a mounting hole 6 is bored. On the rear side is a second rear end piece 7, which is provided from the outer surface to the inner side of the shield cover 4 at a different angle from the first rear end piece 5 and at a predetermined interval. Since their protrusion amounts and areas are the same, the second rear end piece 7 completely covers the first rear end piece 5. The second rear end piece 7 forms a part of the shield cover 4 and forms this outer shape. This rear end piece 7 is provided with a through hole 8 at a position opposite to the mounting hole 6 provided in the first rear end piece 5 . The diameter of the through hole 8 is set to the minimum value through which a head 9a of a mounting screw 9, which will be described later, can be inserted therethrough. It goes without saying that a tool M such as a driver for tightening the mounting screw 9 can be easily inserted into the through hole 8 .

Thus, the shield cover 4 is attached as shown in FIG. First, the first rear end piece 5
are superimposed on a bracket part 10 that integrally projects from the rear end of the seat cushion 1. Next, a mounting screw 9 and a tool M are inserted through the through hole 8 and tightened to the bracket portion 10 through the mounting hole 6. Since the through hole 8 and the mounting hole 6 are opposed to each other, the mounting screw 9 can be easily tightened. Other parts of the shield cover 4 are attached and fixed to the seat back 1 by other means.

In this way, the shield cover 4 is used while being attached and fixed at a predetermined position. This rear end faces the rear seat device and is within the viewing range of the seated occupant, so the through hole 8 is naturally visible. However, even if the head 9a of the mounting screw 9 is exposed from the first rear end piece 5, it is shielded by the second rear end piece 7.
Moreover, since this rear end piece 7 forms the outer shape of the shield cover 4, there is no discomfort at all. From this, poor appearance due to exposure of the mounting screws 9 can be prevented. Furthermore, even if the mounting screws 9 are plated at a very low cost, there will be no problem at all since they are shielded as described above.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, by forming the rear end of the shield cover with a double structure, it is possible to improve the appearance by shielding the mounting screws for attaching and fixing the shield cover to the seat cushion. In addition, there is an effect that the workability of attaching the shield cover is not impaired.
