Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a seat side shield assembly structure, and more particularly, to a seat side shield assembly structure with improved appearance.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, as a structure for assembling a seat side shield in a seat S of an automobile, a seat side garnish 31 is assembled by a claw fitting to a lower arm (not shown) arranged on a side portion of the body of the seat S. An assembly structure has been proposed. This structure is shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). That is, the rib 32 formed on the back surface of the seat side garnish and the fitting claw portion 33 formed on the lower arm (not shown) are engaged with each other.

In the above-described assembly structure, the rib 32 or the claw portion 33 may be deformed by heat or an external force, so that the seat side garnish may come off from the lower arm. In order to prevent this, as shown in FIG. 7, a special mounting screw 35 is passed from the side surface 34 of the seat side garnish 31, and the mounting screw 35 is screwed into the lower arm and tightened to tighten the seat side garnish. 31 is fixed to the lower arm.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in recent years, in order to improve the appearance of the external appearance, it has been required to make the mounting tool 35 invisible. Therefore, in the assembly structure, the mounting screw 35 can be seen from the side surface 34, which causes a problem that the appearance is impaired. Furthermore, since the mounting screw 35 is a dedicated screw in this structure, there is a problem that the cost is high.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a seat side shield having an improved appearance.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention fixes the bottom part of the lower arm fixed to the side part of the seat to the upper rail that is movably arranged on the lower rail, and the seat side is fixed to the upper rail and the lower arm. In the seat side shield assembly structure with the garnish attached, the fixing rib formed on the seat side garnish is interposed between the lower arm bottom part and the upper rail, and the lower side of the upper rail serves as a locking member. The gist is that the fixing rib and the lower arm bottom are connected and fixed to each other.

[0007]

[Action]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, in order to assemble the seat side garnish to the lower arm, the fixing rib formed on the seat side garnish is inserted in the gap between the bottom of the lower arm and the upper surface of the upper rail, and is locked from below the upper rail. In the member, the fixing rib and the bottom portion of the lower arm are connected and fixed to each other. Therefore, the locking member is hidden under the upper rail and is not visible from the outside.

【Example】

 An embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a seat side shield of an automobile seat will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a seat side portion 1 of a seat (not shown) of an automobile. A lower rail 2 is provided below the sheet side portion 1. Brackets 3 are formed on both ends of the lower rail 2, and the brackets 3 are fixed to a vehicle body lower (not shown). Rotating rollers 4a and 4b are rotatably arranged in the lower rail 2, and an upper rail 5 is arranged above the rollers 4a and 4b via the rollers 4. Therefore, the upper rail 5 slides back and forth along the lower rail 2 by the rotational movement of the rollers 4a and 4b. Further, a lower arm 6 is attached to the upper surface of the upper rail 5 by a pair of rivets 5a and 5b provided in the approximate center of the upper rail 5. Further, on the lower surface of the lower rail 2, regulating projections 2 a to 2 d are formed so as to project inside the lower rail 2. Therefore, the rotation movement of the roller 4a is performed by the rivet 5a regulating projections 2a and 2b, and the rotation movement of the roller 4b is performed by the rivet 5b and the regulation projections 2c and 2d. As a result, the stroke amounts of the upper rail 5 and the lower arm 6 that slide with respect to the lower rail 2 are set. The lower arm 6 is fixed to a seat cushion portion of a seat (not shown).

A shaft pin 7 is attached to the upper right side of the lower arm 6, and an arm 8 fixed to a seat back (not shown) is inserted through the shaft pin 7. A sub plate 9 is attached to the lower arm 6, and the shaft pin 7 is rotatably inserted and supported by the sub plate 9. The shaft pin 7 is connected to a reclining lever 10 rotatably provided with respect to the sub plate 9. When the reclining lever 10 is operated against the biasing force of the spring 10a, the arm 8 is rotated and the angle of the seat back can be adjusted.

A seat side garnish 11 made of resin is attached to the side surface of the lower arm 6. Hereinafter, the assembly structure of the lower arm 6 and the seat side garnish 11 will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, an L-shaped mounting claw 12 is formed at the center of the front portion of the lower arm 6. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the front and rear bottom portions of the lower arm 6 are raised above the bottom portion in contact with the upper rail 5, and the back cut portions 13a and 13b that form a gap with respect to the upper rail 5 are formed. ing. The spine cut portions 13a and 13b are formed to bulge laterally, and screw holes 14a and 14b are formed in the bulged portions.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 (a), 3 (b), on the inner side of the seat side garnish 11 is formed a U-shaped cross-section at a position facing the mounting claw 12. The hook ribs 15 are formed. Then, the seat side garnish 11 is slid from the rear side to the front side so that the hooking rib 15 is engaged with the mounting claw 12.

Further, fixing ribs 16a and 16b are formed on the inner side surface of the seat side garnish 11 at positions facing the lower sides of the back cut portions 13a and 13b of the lower arm 6, respectively. Through holes 17a and 17b are formed in the fixing ribs 16a and 16b. The fixing ribs 16a and 16b are inserted into the gap formed between the back cut portions 13a and 13b and the upper rail 5 in a state where the mounting claw 12 and the hooking rib 15 are engaged with each other. . At this time, the through holes 17a and 17b formed in the fixing ribs 16a and 16b are aligned with the upper rail 5 and the screw holes 14a and 14b of the back cut portions 13a and 13b. Then, a mounting screw 18 is inserted from the lower surface of the upper rail 5 through the through holes 5c, 5d, 17a, 17b, and is screwed into the screw holes 14a, 14b to tighten the mounting screw 18. As a result, the through holes 17a and 17b of the seat side garnish 11 are fixed to the upper rail 5 and the lower arm 6 by the mounting screws 18. Further, the head portion 18a of each mounting screw 18 is adapted to regulate the rotational movement of the rollers 4a and 4b in the same manner as the rivets 5a and 5b and the regulation convex portions 2a and 2d.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a nipping rib 19 is formed on the upper right side of the seat side garnish 11 at a position facing the shaft pin 7. Then, by pressing the holding rib 19 into the recess of the shaft pin 7 in the direction of the arrow (see FIG. 5B), the claw of the holding rib 19 engages with the engagement recess 7a of the shaft pin 7, and the rib 19 The shaft pin 7 is connected.

As described above, according to the assembly structure of this embodiment, the mounting screw 18 for fixing the seat side garnish 11 to the lower arm 6 is inserted from the lower surface of the upper rail 5, so that the mounting screw 18 can be seen from the outside. Never. Therefore, appearance can be improved.

Further, the head portion 18a of the mounting screw 18 is also used as a stopper that restricts the movement range of the rollers 4a and 4b, and it is not necessary to provide a stopper on the upper rail 5, so that the cost is reduced. can do.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and a part of the configuration may be appropriately modified and carried out as follows without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the seat side garnish 11 is assembled by the mounting screw 18 as the locking member, but it may be assembled by the clip 20 as the locking member as shown in FIG. At this time, the head portion 20a of the clip 20 may of course serve as a stopper for the roller 4 as with the mounting screw 18.
