Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a strap from flapping as a seat cushion is sprung up by arranging a housing pocket of the strap on a seat main body. SOLUTION: A strap 5 to fasten a seat back 3 in a tensional shape to a seat cushion 2 is provided in a bottom part of the seat cushion 2 in a condition where the seat cushion 2 is sprung up and the seat back 3 is brought down forward. A housing pocket 7 which can freely take the strap 5 in and out of a tip part containing a latch 5b, is provided in a bottom part of the seat cushion 2.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, FIG. 1 illustrates a folding type rear seat, which is shown from the back side of a seat back. The rear seat includes a seat setting mechanism (not shown), a base cover 1 for accommodating the seat setting mechanism, a seat cushion 2 mounted on the cover of the base cover 1 and capable of jumping up to the front side, and a seat cushion. It is assembled from a seat back which can be placed on the cover of the base cover 1 in a forward-moved state in a flipped up state.
The base cover 1 is formed in a hollow three-dimensional shape with a relatively hard plastic material so that the seat cushion 2 is assembled on the upper side so as to withstand the load of the occupant.

The seat cushion 2 is rotatably connected to the seat setting mechanism by stepped brackets 2a and 2b pivotally connected to the seat cushion frame and the seat setting mechanism, respectively. The seat cushion 1 is provided with a locking hook 2c which can be hooked or unhooked on the base cover 1 on the pivot side of the seat back 3.

The seat setting mechanism includes a slide rail capable of adjusting the position of the entire seat forward and backward, and a tilt-up mechanism capable of tilting the entire seat flatly obliquely upward from the front side. The tilt-up mechanism is provided with an operation lever 4a on the side portion of the base cover 2, and an operation knob 4b for releasing the tilt-up mechanism via a pulling wire is provided on the shoulder portion of the seat back 3. The seat back 3 is pivotally supported by a reclining mechanism (not shown) so that it can be tilted forward and backward by a bracket of the seat setting mechanism.

In the foldable rear seat, as shown in FIG. 2, a strap 5 for holding the seat back 3 to the seat cushion 2 is held by the seat cushion 2 when the seat cushion 2 is flipped up and the seat back 3 is tilted forward. It is provided on the bottom. The strap 5 is mainly composed of a belt-shaped belt 5a, and has a latch 5b which is detachably engaged with a stop pin 6 provided on the back portion of the seat back 3 on the front end side. The latch 5
b can be detachably attached to the stop pin 6 by providing a dharma-shaped stop hole that receives the head of the stop pin 6 and engages with the shaft portion.

The bottom portion of the seat cushion 2 is equipped with a storage pocket 5 in which the strap 5 can be freely inserted and removed from the tip side including the latch 5b. This storage pocket 7
Can be formed using the same material as the seat cover. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the latch 5 of the strap 5
It is possible to equip the inside of the seat cushion 2 by providing a slit 7a for inserting and withdrawing the front end side including b in the bottom surface of the seat cushion 2 and attaching the pocket body 7b to the inner surface of the bottom portion of the seat cushion 2.

In addition to this, the strap 5 has a slit 8 for pulling out the base side of the belt-shaped belt 5a and a storage pocket 7.
The seat cushion 2 may be provided on the bottom surface of the seat cushion 2 away from the slit 7a, and the base side including the mounting bracket 5c may be connected and fixed to the inside of the seat cushion 2.

Normally, the seat cushion 2 is assembled and placed on the cover of the base cover 1 with the strap 5 stored in the storage pocket 7. Therefore, not only the belt 5a of the strap 5 but also the latch 5b can be prevented from coming into direct contact with the base cover 1, and the base 5c is also fixedly connected to the inside of the seat cushion 2, so that the latch 5b and the base 5c can be fixed. Substantially the entire strap 5 including the base cover 1
You can prevent direct contact with.

Even if an occupant sits down with the strap 5 stored, abnormal noise and damage to the base cover 1 due to the contact of the strap 5 with the base cover 1 can be prevented. Also,
It is possible to prevent the strap 5 from flapping even when the seat cushion 2 is jumped up. In addition to this, since the storage pocket 7 is arranged inside the seat cushion 2 together with the base portion 5c of the strap 5, the seat cushion 2 is flipped up, and the seat back 3 is pulled by the strap 5 and the entire seat is secured. The appearance of can be kept good.

The seat cushion 2 is made of a carpet-like cloth material obtained by needle punching nylon fiber or the like.
It is advisable to form the bottom surface with a skin material that is molded into a three-dimensional shape in accordance with the outer surface of the base cover 1. This carpet-like skin material can be formed into a three-dimensional shape that encloses the seat cushion 2 because the pocket body 7b is sewn to the inner surface side and the general surface skin material is sewn between the terminals. Further, when the carpet-like skin material is used, abnormal noise and damage to the base cover 1 due to contact with the plastic base cover 1 can be more surely prevented, and a high-grade feeling can be produced as a whole sheet.

As shown in FIG. 4, the strap 5 is provided with a latch 5b provided with the above-mentioned dharma-shaped stop hole and a belt-shaped belt 5.
It can be attached to both ends of a and can be attached detachably from the seat body. Further, the storage pocket 7 can be formed into a bag shape by providing a slit 7a which serves as an opening / closing port for the strap 5, and can be detachably provided on an appropriate surface portion of the seat body by a fastener such as a bonding fastener 7b.

The use of the strap 5 described above is not limited to the case where the seat back 3 is tensioned, but the seat back 3 is tilted forward as shown in FIG.
The seat cushion 2 including the seat back 3 can be pulled and stopped by flipping up together. Also,
The tension stop by the strap 5 can also be performed on the body side pillar P and the like.
