Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvement of a vehicle seat arrangement structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 9 is a state diagram when a conventional seat is made flat, and this vehicle has three stages (3) of a front seat 101 including a driver's seat, a center seat 102, and a rear seat 103. It is equipped with a sheet. The driver's seat and the passenger's seat are separated by the center console 104.
FIG. 10 is a state view of the flattened seat as viewed from the rear of the vehicle. The front seat 101 is provided with side supports 105, 105 on the left and right edges of the seat cushion and the seat back of the driver's seat, respectively. These side supports 105 and 105 serve to suppress lateral movement of the driver.
The passenger seat also includes the same side supports 106, 106. Further, the central seat 102 and the rear seat 103
Side supports 107, 107 and 10 on the left and right edges
8, 108 are provided.

[0003]

As is apparent from FIG. 9, the front seat 101 is divided into the driver's seat and the passenger seat by the center console 104, so that the flat seat area is substantially the center seat 102. And rear seat 10
The front seat 101 is not included in it, but is merely a reclining seat. The method of forming the flat seat area by the central seat 102 and the rear seat 103 is suitable for a large vehicle having three consecutive seats. However, it is advantageous if a flat seat area similar to the area L can be formed even in a vehicle having a short length including only a front seat and a rear seat.

Further, the seat belt is generally of a type that is pulled out from a center pillar or the like, and a stopper 111 for locking the tip of the seat belt (... indicates a plurality) is a seat cushion. Although it is exposed on the upper surface, there is no problem during normal traveling, but when a flat sheet is used, the position of the body is indefinite, so the body is shaken by the stopper and it is unpleasant.

Furthermore, as is apparent from FIG. 10, a rear seat (center seat 102 + rear seat 103) forms a flat area. Even in the flat seat area made with this rear seat, side supports 1 on the left and right edges
Since 07, 107, 108 and 108 are projected, the width W excluding these is substantially the effective width of the flat sheet, and a large flat sheet area cannot be obtained.

The flat area formed by the front seat 101 has side supports 105 and 106 formed on the center side of the vehicle and the center console 10 within the width W.
Only the small flat surface except the part 4 can be formed. Therefore, in order to secure a large flat seat surface, two rear seats (center seat 102 + rear seat 103) are installed in the front-rear direction of the vehicle as in the conventional example shown in FIGS. , 1
It becomes inevitable to form a full flat surface with 03, and it is necessary to install three rows like the seats 101, 102, 103, and it is inevitable that the entire vehicle becomes large.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to utilize the front seat which has hardly contributed to the formation of a large full flat surface in the width direction of the vehicle. It is to provide a seat arrangement capable of forming a seat area, and to provide a seat arrangement in which a fastener does not touch the body when a flat seat is formed.

It is characterized in that it also serves as a lid that connects the upper space and the lower space of the seat. The armrest can be used as an opening / closing lid, and when the flat seat is used, the space below the flat seat can be used as a storage case.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the front seat and the rear seat, the upper surface of the seat cushion is flat. Since the upper surface of the seat cushion is flat,
The flatness of the flat sheet is increased, and the comfort of using the flat sheet is improved.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the front seat is provided with a seat belt fastener, and when the seat back is tilted to form a flat seat, the fastener can be stored in a seat cushion below the upper surface of the flat seat. It is characterized by having done. Since the protrusions on the upper surface of the seat cushion are eliminated, the upper surface of the flat seat is flattened and the convenience of use is improved.
