Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a vehicle seat, and more particularly to an operating lever of a slide mechanism.

[Prior Art] Conventional vehicle seats are shown in FIG. 9 and FIG.

In each drawing, 1 is a seat back portion and 2 is a seat cushion portion. Upper rails 3 and 3 fixed to both sides of the back surface of the seat cushion portion 2, and the upper rails
A slide mechanism 7 including an underrail 5 engaged with 3, 3 and fixed to a bracket 4 protruding from the vehicle floor, and an operating lever 6 for operating the upper rail 3 in a non-sliding or slidable state in the front-rear direction. Are configured. A thin round bar-shaped operation knob 6a is attached to the L-shaped tip side of the operation lever 6, and the operation lever 6 is operated by gripping the operation knob 6a to adjust the slide mechanism 7.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, since the operation knob of the operation lever in the above-described conventional vehicle seat has a thin round bar shape, it is difficult to operate, and the operation is performed in the clearance between the lower part of the seat cushion and the vehicle floor. There was a problem that it was dangerous to have to put my hands on it.

Therefore, the present invention provides a vehicle seat equipped with an operation knob that has excellent operability and high safety during operation.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the vehicle seat of the present invention, an operation knob composed of a detachable housing for accommodating small articles is provided on the tip side of the operation lever of the slide mechanism.

[Operation] The operation knob is formed in a size capable of accommodating small items. The operation knob can be used as a accessory case when attached to the tip side of the operation lever, or can be removed and used as a portable accessory case.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. The same parts as those in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In each drawing, 8 is an operating lever of the present invention, 9 is an operating knob of the operating lever 8, and this is the tip side 8a of the operating lever 8.
Mounted on. As shown in FIG. 5, the tip end side 8a is formed into a square rod, and the operation knob 9 includes a cylinder 11 attached to the tip end side 8a of the operation lever 8 and the cylinder body.
An under box 12 having a small box 12a integrally formed with a rectangular box body 12a to be mounted on 11, and both ends of which are located outside the rectangular box body 12a and are rotatably attached to the cylindrical body 11. The upper box 13 has a shovel shape. An urging spring storage space 12c is defined on the left end side of the rectangular box body 12a.
Around the cylindrical body 11 located at 2c, a square collar 11a for pressing the biasing spring 14 arranged in the biasing spring housing space 12c is formed. In addition, the insertion side 11A of the tubular body 11 is formed with a pressure contact tongue 11b having a cross section of a "V" shape, and the insertion side 11A between the insertion side 11A of the tubular body 11 and the rectangular box 12a and the upper box 13. A pressure nozzle 15 is inserted in the pressure nozzle. In the state shown in FIG. 5, the tubular body 11 is formed into a square tube corresponding to the square bar of the tip 8a of the operation lever 8 between the insertion side 11A and the position corresponding to the left mounting end 12B of the square box 12a. To be done. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the left mounting end 12B corresponds to the corner peripheral edge 11c. The right mounting end 12A of the rectangular box 12a corresponds to the corner edge 15a of the pressing nozzle 15 as shown in FIG. Also, the above upper box 1
The right mounting end 13A of 3 corresponds to the circumferential edge 15b of the pressing nozzle 15, and the left mounting end 13B corresponds to the circumferential wall 11d of the button portion 11B of the tubular body 11. As described above, the underbox 12 is mounted so as not to rotate in the horizontal state as shown in FIG. 2, and the upper box 13 is mounted so as to be rotatable in the upward direction.

With the above configuration, the operation knob 9 is connected to the tip side 8a of the operation lever 8.
When it is attached to the front end 8a of the operating lever 8, the button 11B on the distal end side of the tubular body 11 is slightly pressed so that the pressure contact tongue 11b on the insertion side 11A is projected from the pressing nozzle 15. After mounting, when the hand is released from the button portion 11B, the cylindrical body 11 is pulled back by the biasing spring 14 and the pressure contact tongue 11b is pressed by the pressing nozzle 15, whereby it is fixed in pressure contact with the tip side 8a of the operation lever 8. Will be. To remove it, reverse the operation.

Therefore, the operation knob 9 can be stored in the storage space 12b of the under box 12 with the operation knob 9 attached to the tip side 8a of the operation lever 8, and the operation knob 9 can be removed to provide a portable accessory case. Can also be used. Also,
The operation knob 9 is large enough to accommodate the storage space 12b, so it is easy to operate, and it is safe to operate without having to put your hand deep into the space between the seat cushion lower part and the vehicle floor. Also improves.

In the above embodiment, the tip side 8a of the operating lever 8 is formed as a square rod so that the under box 12 of the attached operation knob 9 does not rotate. However, as shown in FIG. 8, a horizontal groove is formed on the tip side 8a. The operation lever 8A is formed with 8x, and the groove 11x
It is also possible to form a horizontal projection that fits in the inner box to restrict the rotation of the underbox.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, according to the vehicle seat of the present invention, the operation knob including the detachable housing for accommodating small articles is provided on the tip side of the operation lever of the slide mechanism. A vehicle seat provided with an operation knob that is excellent in operability and has high safety during operation can be obtained. Further, the operation knob can be used as an accessory case for carrying in the vehicle and for carrying.
