Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle finisher structure, and more specifically, a finisher mounted on a side portion of a vehicle seat in which the height of a seat cushion is adjusted up and down by an adjusting mechanism. The present invention relates to a vehicle finisher structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a seat cushion of a vehicle is provided with an up / down adjusting mechanism and is mounted on a front / rear slide device to adjust the up / down position and front / rear position of the seat cushion according to the physique and preference of a seated person. It is designed to be able to do. A vehicle finisher is attached to the side portion of the seat cushion to cover the side portion of the seat cushion.

As shown in FIG. 3, the finisher 1 is provided with a mounting hole and a concave portion 3, and an operation knob 5 of a reclining mechanism, a front-rear slide device, and an operation knob 7 of a lifter mechanism are provided on a side portion of the finisher 1. These mechanisms can be operated while the side portions of the slide device, the reclining mechanism, the lifter mechanism, and the side portions of the seat cushion 2 are covered.

Further, various configurations have been proposed in which a shielding member is provided so as to shield the gap 9 generated between the side portion of the seat cushion 2 and the upper portion of the finisher 1 according to the vertical movement of the seat cushion 2. . For example, actual public Sho 63-2
Japanese Patent No. 2925 also proposes fixing an inner cover to the upper surface of a movable rail or the like, but with such a configuration, the finisher and the inner cover lack a sense of unity and the appearance cannot be improved.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-37024 discloses a vehicle finisher having a finisher composed of a side finisher and a lower finisher, and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 63-188235 discloses a seat cushion side portion and a finisher. It is shown that the gap generated between the upper part and the upper part is shielded by a bellows-like sheet, or a blinding means is made of an elastic material and a rigid material.

[0006]

However, when an inner cover or a shielding member having rigidity is used, the finisher and the inner cover lack a sense of unity and the external appearance cannot be improved. Further, in the bellows-like sheet, there is a risk that the loosened part of the bellows may come into contact with other mechanical parts or become entangled.
The appearance cannot be improved, and when an elastic material is used, the fixing structure of the end of the elastic material is complicated and the assembling work becomes complicated, so that the end of the elastic material can be locked easily and quickly. It was something that could not be done.

The object of the present invention is to improve the appearance without exposing the internal mechanism of the front and rear slide device even when the seat cushion is lifted by the vertical adjustment mechanism, the number of constituent parts is small, and the assembling work is simplified. A finisher structure for a vehicle that can be quickly performed.
