DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings. 1 and 2
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a permanent position of a front seat, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a retracted position of the front seat. FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing the fixed rail and the moving rail.

[0007] In the arrangement structure of the front seat 1, in a vehicle in which a door is present beside the front seat 1 and no door is present beside the rear seat 2, the front seat 1 is located near the door. It is slidable laterally between a normal position A and a retreat position B which forms a space S through which a person can pass between the door and the door.

The arrangement structure of such a front seat 1 will be described in further detail. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cabin of an automobile, in which a front seat 1 and a rear seat 2 are arranged in front and rear. The front seat 1 includes, for example, a driver's seat 4 and a passenger seat 5, and such a front seat 1 and a rear seat 2 each include a seat seat portion 6 as a horizontal seat cushion portion and a vertical seat back. And a backrest 7 serving as a backrest. The backrests 7 of the driver's seat 4 and the front passenger seat 5, which are front seats 1, are each of a retractable type and can be displaced between a vertical position and a tilted position as shown in the figure. Reference numeral 8 denotes a floor below the front seat 1 and the rear seat 2. A door (not shown) is present beside the front seat 1 such as the driver's seat 4 and the passenger's seat 5, and no door is present beside the rear seat 2.

The front seat 1, in the illustrated example, the front seat 1
The passenger seat 5 is slidable left and right in the horizontal direction. That is, a fixed rail 9 extends horizontally on the floor 8 below the passenger seat 5, and a movable rail 10 positioned at a corresponding position below the seat portion 6 of the passenger seat 5. . Thus, the seat 8 is guided by the fixed rail 9 serving as a guide rail on the floor 8 side.
The front passenger seat 1, the passenger seat 5, can slide laterally via the lower movable rail 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the passenger seat 5 has a permanent position A near the door and a retreat position B where a space S through which a person can pass is formed between the passenger seat 5 and the door as shown in FIG. At the same time, it can slide horizontally. L in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a lever, and by operating this lever L, the passenger seat 5 can always be locked at the position A, that is, can be positioned.

An example shown in FIG. 3 will be described in detail with respect to a method of sliding the front seat 1 such as the passenger seat 5 in the lateral direction. A fixed rail 9 as a lower rail as shown in FIG.
Two movable rails 10 serving as upper rails are disposed in the left and right lateral directions below the seat 6 of the passenger seat 5 in a corresponding position. Installed and fixed (see also FIGS. 1 and 2). And FIG.
As shown in the figure, the lower portion of the upper end 11 of the outer flange of the fixed rail 9 having a substantially U-shaped cross section and the lower end portion 12 of the inner flange of the movable rail 10 having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section. A ball or roller 13 is interposed between the rollers so as to freely roll.
Reference numeral 14 denotes a ball or a roller. The ball or the roller 14 is rotatably interposed between the lower part of the movable rail 10 and the upper end 11 of the fixed rail 9. So,
The movable rail 10 is slidably mounted and supported on the fixed rail 9 via such balls and rollers 13 and 14 so that the front passenger seat 1 and the front passenger seat 5 are also supported in the horizontal direction. It is possible to slide. As the sliding movement method of the front seat 1 in the left and right and lateral directions, other various known methods can be adopted in addition to the one shown in FIG. Various methods that have been used as the vertical sliding movement method can be adopted.

The present invention is configured as described above. Then, it becomes as follows. The arrangement structure of the front seat 1 is applied to an automobile of a type in which a door is present beside the front seat 1 and no door is present beside the rear seat 2. Then, when getting on and off the rear seat 2, the front seat 1, for example, the passenger seat 5 is slid laterally from the constant position A shown in FIG. 1 to the retreat position B shown in FIG. And the passenger seat 5 at such a retreat position B
Through the space S formed between the door and the door,
From the door next to the rear seat 2 is carried out. After getting in and out of such a rear seat 2, the front seat 1
The passenger seat 5 moves from the evacuation position B to the original permanent position A,
It is slid horizontally. Now, in the arrangement structure of the front seat 1, the following first, second and third arrangements are obtained.

First, according to the arrangement structure of the front seat 1, when getting on and off the rear seat 2, for example, the front seat 1 such as the passenger seat 5 is slid from the position A to the retreat position B at all times. This is performed using the formed space S. Therefore, the space is easy and the backrest 7 of the front seat 1 does not need to be tilted forward, so that the operation can be performed without trouble.

Secondly, according to the arrangement structure of the front seat 1, when a person is sitting on the front seat 1 such as the passenger seat 5, the person sitting on the front seat 1 When getting on or off the rear seat 2, the front seat 1 may be slid to the retreat position B while sitting. That is,
A person sitting in the front seat 1 does not need to get out of the vehicle once when getting on or off the back seat 2 of another person.

Third, and furthermore, the arrangement structure of the front seat 1 is such that the front seat 1 is divided into a permanent position A near the door and a retreat position B where a predetermined space S is formed between the front seat 1 and the door. In addition, it is configured to be slidable in the horizontal direction. Thus, the arrangement structure of the front seat 1 has a simple configuration.

First, in the illustrated example, the passenger seat 5 is slidable in the lateral direction as the front seat 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. As 1, the driver's seat 4 may be slidable in the lateral direction. Furthermore, both the driver's seat 4 and the passenger's seat 5 may be slidable in the lateral direction.

Secondly, the arrangement structure of the front seat 1 is such that the front seat 1 is composed of a driver seat 4 and a passenger seat 5 as shown in FIG.
The present invention is applicable not only to general passenger cars, but also to, for example, one-box cars and wagon cars without depending on the illustrated example. In this case, for example, the driver's seat 4
And the front passenger seat 5, front seat 1 and rear seat 2
The arrangement structure of the present invention is applied to the front seat 1, which is an intermediate seat, in which a door is present, instead of the driver's seat 4 and the front passenger seat 5, which are arranged in a row, and the lateral door is provided. Is provided for getting on and off the rear seat 2 which is the last seat where there is no vehicle.

In this case, the front seat 1 as an intermediate seat (the front seat 1 in the sense of the rear seat 2 thereafter) is not a one-seat structure which is continuous laterally but has two seats in accordance with the above-described example.
An example in which the structure is separated into seats and the arrangement structure of the present invention is applied to one or both of them is conceivable. Further, the present invention can be applied to an intermediate seat, which is a front seat 1 in the sense of a specific rear seat 2, in a motor vehicle having four or more rows of front and rear seats.

Thirdly, in the arrangement structure of the front seat 1 in the illustrated example, the front seat 1 is configured to be slidable only in the lateral direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the front seat 1 may be slidable in both vertical and horizontal directions. That is, for the front seat 1, a combination of the left and right horizontal sliding movement method and the conventional front and rear vertical sliding movement method may be employed. In addition to the fixed rails 9 and the movable rails 10 along the horizontal direction, fixed rails and movable rails along the front and rear longitudinal directions are provided. Note that such a fixed rail or a movable rail may be provided so as to be slidable in the front and rear longitudinal directions at the above-described constant position A and the retracted position B.

[0019]

As described above, the arrangement structure of the front seat according to the present invention exhibits the following effects by allowing the front seat to slide in the horizontal direction.

First, getting in and out of the rear seat can be performed easily and without any hassle. In other words, according to the arrangement structure of the front seats, when getting on and off the rear seats, the front seats are slid laterally from the permanent position to the retracted position, and pass through the space formed between the front seats and the door. Thus, the space is easy and the backrest of the front seat does not need to be tilted forward, so that the operation can be performed without any hassle. That is, as in the above-described conventional example, the space is cramped, and the backrest portion of the front seat can be implemented easily without any trouble, since it is not troublesome to move the backrest forward.

Second, there is no need for the person sitting in the front seat to once get out of the vehicle. That is, according to this front seat arrangement structure, when a person is sitting on the front seat such as the passenger seat, the person sitting on this front seat can get on and off the other person's back seat. Then, the user may slide the front seat to the retracted position while sitting. In other words, as in the above-described conventional example, the person sitting in the front seat
When getting on or off the back seat of another person, you do not need to get out of the car and return to the inside of the car after the fact, you can continue to sit in the front seat, eliminating the hassle of getting the front seat person in and out of the car Is done.

Third, they are easily and easily realized. That is, the arrangement structure of the front seat has a simple configuration in which the front seat can be slid in the lateral direction, and thus the above-described first and second points can be easily realized. As described above, the effects exhibited by the present invention are remarkably large, for example, all the problems existing in this type of conventional example are eliminated.
