In recent years, the front seats (the driver's seat 6A and the passenger seat 6 provided via the console box 67) of the automobile have side airbags attached to the backrest gore portions 66 on the door side, respectively. (Impact buffer device that jumps out by impact) 2 is built in. The side airbag 2 is housed in a cover plate 21 which is normally opened and closed by an applied impact (see FIGS. 5 and 6). On the other hand, the conventional seat cover has a bag shape with a lower opening as described above, and is configured to cover at least the entire upper surface of the seat backrest 62. In other words, the cover is the gore portion 6 of the seat backrest 62.
6 is formed. Therefore, the conventional seat cover (seat cover, half cover) hinders the side airbag 2 from jumping out of the backrest gore portion 66 and cannot be used.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide an automobile seat cover that allows a side airbag disposed at an arbitrary position of a seat gore portion to protrude.

[0005]

In order to achieve this object, a vehicle seat cover according to the present invention has the following configuration. An automobile seat cover is a cover for covering an automobile seat in which a side airbag is incorporated in a side gore portion of a seat backrest, and the side gore cover portion is separated from the front cover portion of the backrest cover, and the front cover portion is formed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile seat cover according to the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view.

The automobile seat cover includes a so-called seat cover that covers the entire backrest 62 of the seat and a so-called half cover that covers only the upper part of the seat backrest 62. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a disengageable engaging means 1 that allows the side airbag 2 to fly out is provided between the side gore cover portion 33 and the front cover portion 31 of the seat cover.

The seat cover (seat cover) includes a seat cover 5 that covers the upper surface and the peripheral gore of the seat 61 of the front seat, and a backrest cover 3 that covers the seat backrest 62. The backrest cover 3 includes a front cover portion 31 that covers the front surface 63 of the seat backrest 62, an upper surface cover portion 32 that is continuous with the upper side of the front cover portion 31 and covers the upper surface 64 of the backrest, and a tip side of the upper surface cover portion 32. And a side gore cover portion 33 that covers the backrest gore portion 66. One end side of the side gore cover portion 33 is sewn to one end side of the back cover portion 34, and the side gore cover portion 33 is sewn.
(Including the upper side) are free ends.

In the first embodiment, the side gore cover 3
An engaging portion 11 is provided on the other end side which is a free end of the engaging portion 3, and an engaging receiving portion 12 which can be disengaged from the engaging portion 11 on the front cover portion 31.
Are provided to form the engagement means 1. As the engaging portion 11, a flat magnet, for example, a metal magnet, a rubber magnet, a plastic magnet, or the like having a very small thickness is used. Further, as the engagement receiving portion 12, a flat metal plate, for example, a thin iron plate having an extremely small thickness is used.

The engaging portion (magnet) 11 and the engaging receiving portion (iron plate) 12 are respectively connected to the side gore cover portion 3 with an adhesive.
3. The front cover 31 is attached to the front cover 31 by bonding a plurality of them at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. Alternatively, as other attachments, an engagement portion (magnet) 11, an engagement receiving portion (iron plate) 12
May be wrapped with a cloth, and the cloth may be attached to the side gore cover portion 33 and the front cover portion 31 by sewing.

The relative magnitude of the attraction force between the magnet 11 and the magnetic attraction member (iron plate) 12 is smaller than the instantaneous pop-out pressure of the side airbag, and is such that the attraction is easily released by receiving the pressure. Is fine. In the embodiment, FIG.
As is apparent from the above, a small and thin magnet having a small magnetic force area and a small magnetic force is used, and is attracted in a so-called temporary fixing manner.

In the first embodiment, the engaging portion 11 is a magnet, and the engaging receiving portion 12 is an iron plate. However, in the embodiment, the engaging portion 11 is a group of loop-shaped fibers, Receiving part 1
2 may be so-called hook and loop fasteners,
As another form, a male / female locking tool may be used in which the engaging portion 11 is a male hook and the engaging receiving portion 12 is a female hook.
In short, if the side airbag has a large pop-out pressure and a weak degree of engagement that can easily disengage,
Various known engaging means 1 can be used.

FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view showing another embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the engagement receiving portion 12 having a short length is provided on the surface of the end portion of the front cover portion 31 has been described. However, in this embodiment, the end portion of the front cover portion 31 is formed. A long engagement receiving portion (iron plate) 12 is attached to the back surface, and the tip of the iron plate 12 protruding from the end is the gore portion 6 of the seat backrest.
It is bent along the six corners (corners). Thereby, the engaging portion (magnet) 11 provided on the inner surface of the end of the side gore cover portion 33 is attracted. In the case of this embodiment, as in the previous embodiment (FIG. 1), the end of the side face gore cover 33 overlaps the end of the front cover 31 and the disadvantage of increasing the thickness can be eliminated. .

In the automobile seat cover having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, the cover is put on the seat, and the engagement portion 11 and the engagement receiving portion 12 are engaged with each other.
The side gore cover portion 33 completely covers the gore portion 66 of the backrest 62. Therefore, in this normal state, the lid plate 21 of the gore portion 66 containing the side airbag 2 is
3 and cannot be seen.

When a large impact is applied to the vehicle, the side airbag 2 incorporated in the backrest gore portion 66 jumps out of the gore portion 66 when the open / close lid plate 21 is opened. At this time,
With the pop-out pressure of the opening / closing lid plate 21 and the side airbag 2, the engagement receiving portion (thin iron plate) 12 of the front cover portion 31 is formed.
The side gore cover 33 is disengaged from the engaging portion (magnet) 11 of the side gore cover 33 by magnetic attraction, and the side gore cover 33 is opened at the same time as the side airbag 2 jumps out (see FIG. 4). Therefore, the side gore cover portion 33 completely covers the gore portion 66 of the seat backrest 62 in a normal state similarly to the conventional seat cover, but the side airbag 2 jumps out when a large impact is applied. And does not hinder pop-out.
