DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a finisher cover for a reclining mechanism for a vehicle seat or the like, and more particularly, to a cover for covering a reclining mechanism for supporting a seat back at a rear end of a seat cushion so as to be able to tilt forward and backward. An opening for guiding the arm of the reclining mechanism back and forth is formed at an upper portion, covers a gap between the opening and the arm, and a cover member having elasticity is provided at the opening. Regarding the finisher cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a reclining mechanism has been provided for supporting a seat back at a rear end of a seat cushion such as a vehicle seat so that the seat back can be tilted back and forth. It is made to be able to support. A finisher cover is attached so as to cover the outer periphery of the reclining mechanism.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the reclining mechanism 1 has a base 2 and an arm 3, and the arm 3 is rotatably attached to the base 2 by a pivot pin 5. A finisher cover 6 is attached so as to cover the outer circumference of the reclining mechanism 1.
In FIG. 4, reference numeral 9 denotes an operation lever of a lock mechanism (not shown) of the reclining mechanism 1.

The finisher cover 6 is screwed to the base 2 side, and an opening 7 through which the arm 3 of the reclining mechanism 1 is guided back and forth is formed above the finisher cover 6. A cover member 8 having elasticity is provided so as to cover the gap between the opening 7 and the arm 3 across the opening 7.

As a configuration of such a finisher cover 6, there is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-115353. As means for attaching the cover member 8 to the front and rear of the opening 7, as shown in FIG.
The plurality of mounting holes 8a of the cover member 8 are fitted into the holes a, and are fixed by heat caulking or a push nut 10.

[0006]

However, the cover member 8 of the conventional finisher cover 6 is a push nut 1.
Since it is fixed at 0, it takes a lot of man-hours and the number of parts increases, and if the cover member 8 is not firmly in contact with the arm 3, the internal mechanism of the reclining mechanism is exposed, which may deteriorate the appearance. When the length of the projection 6a made of a pin or the like for fixing the cover member 8 is long, the cover member 8 made of an elastic body may bend and the appearance may be deteriorated.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the internal mechanism and the like of the reclining mechanism from being exposed when the arm of the reclining mechanism is tilted back and forth, so that the appearance can be improved, and the cover member bends when the arm is operated to deteriorate the appearance. It is an object of the present invention to provide a finisher cover for a reclining mechanism, which can reduce the number of parts, reduce man-hours, and can easily and quickly perform an assembling operation without any fear.
