Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a folding seat, and more particularly to a folding seat suitable for being installed in a passenger seat of a vehicle that also serves as a freight car such as a wagon type car and a van type car.

[Prior Art] The passenger seat of a passenger car is provided on the side of the driver seat, at a distance from the passenger seat, and at a position slightly behind the vehicle doorway. The space between the passenger seat and the driver's seat serves as a passage for passengers and cargo from the doorway to the rear of the passenger compartment. Therefore, no console box is provided, which is inconvenient. It should be noted that the seat back has a pocket and a seat back tray for storing small items and documents, but it is not suitable for storing important items.

[Problems to be solved by the present invention] Therefore, the present invention plays a role as a table and a console box by being folded, and is also suitable for storing important objects, and further secures a sufficient passage to the rear of the vehicle compartment. An object of the present invention is to provide a folding seat for a passenger seat that can be used.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the seat back 4 of the passenger seat 2 is provided on the upper surface of the seat cushion 3 so that the seat back 3 can be tilted forward. The seat cushion 3 is formed into a box shape having an opening 31 at the side end on the outside of the vehicle compartment, and can be laid down sideways to the driver's seat 1 side with seat legs 5a and 5b supporting side edges on the center side of the vehicle interior. An armrest 6 is rotatably provided at the side end on the outside of the vehicle compartment so as to stand up so as to close the opening 31 in a seated state and to open and close the opening 31 when the seat cushion is laid down sideways.

[Operation and Effect] When the seat back 4 is tilted forward and the seat cushion 3 is tilted sideways, an opening 31 serving as an upper end of the box-shaped seat cushion 3 is opened and closed by the armrest 6 on the side of the driver's seat 1. A console box is formed. As a result, the armrest 6 plays the role of a table. Also, small items and documents can be stored in the seat cushion 3. When the seat cushion 3 is seated in the stored state, the small articles and documents stored in the seat cushion 3 cannot be immediately taken out, so that the safety is improved against theft or the like. When the seat cushion 3 is laid down sideways,
A large space is created on the right side of the vehicle entrance E ₁ where the seat 2 has fallen sideways. Therefore, the passage from the doorway E ₁ to the rear part of the passenger compartment is ensured both when the passenger seat is seated and when the passenger seat is laid down.

[Embodiment] In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the left and right entrances E ₁ and E ₂ are provided in the passenger compartment R of the van type vehicle as shown in FIG.
A passenger seat 2 and a driver seat 1 are installed at slightly rear positions. Both sheets 1 and 2 are independent, and a space is provided between them.

The seat back 4 of the passenger seat 2 can be tilted forward on the upper surface of the seat cushion 3. Seat legs 5a and 5b are attached to front and rear sides of the seat cushion 3 on the center side of the passenger compartment, that is, on the side of the seat 1 for the driver's seat. It is pivotally supported so that it can rotate in any direction. The seat cushion 3 has a hollow box shape having an opening 31 at a side end on the outside of the vehicle compartment. The side end is supported by a bracket 10 protruding from the side wall 9 of the passenger compartment. Seat cushion 3
Can be locked to the bracket 10 by a locking device 11.

An armrest 6 is pivotally supported on a lower edge of a side end of the seat cushion 3 having the opening 31 on the outer side of the vehicle compartment. The armrest 6 is composed of a container-shaped substrate 61 and a lid body 62 that closes the container-shaped substrate 61, and is sandwiched between the seat cushion 3 and the side wall 9 of the vehicle compartment to stand up. The lid body 62 can be provided with a hole 63 for a cup holder.

When the passenger seat 2 configured as described above is seated, there is a space in front of the seat 2 and between the seats 1 and 2, as shown in FIG. The occupant enters the rear of the passenger compartment from the entrance E ₁ .
You can also carry in cargo. The passenger in the passenger seat can use the armrest 6.

When tilting the seat 2 sideways, the seat back 4 is tilted forward, the locking device 11 is released, and the seat cushion 3 is pivoted about the lower ends of the seat legs 5a and 5b to set two points in FIGS. 2 and 4. As shown by the chain line, it is erected on the side of the seat 1. When writing or the like, the lid 62 of the armrest 6 can be used as a table. Further, when temporarily storing small items and the like, the lid 62 is opened and stored in the container-shaped base 61. Also important accessories,
Documents and the like are stored in the box-shaped seat cushion 3 by opening the entire armrest 6. The seat cushion 3 may be provided with a lock device that holds the armrest 6 in the closed state.

Therefore, when the seat 2 is laid down sideways, a wide space is created in the seated state, and this space allows passengers and cargo to enter the rear part of the vehicle compartment from the doorway.

When returning seat 2 to the seated state again, seat leg 5
By rotating a and 5b, the end of the seat cushion 3 outside the vehicle compartment is supported by the placket 10 on the side wall 9, and the locking device 11
Lock. Since small items, documents and the like are stored in the closed seat cushion 3 and the armrest 6, an intruder into the vehicle cannot immediately take out the stored items and is stable against theft or the like. It is desirable to provide a movement preventing means such as a partition in the seat cushion 3 and the armrest 6 so that the stored items do not move when the seat 2 changes its posture.
