Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle seat having a cup holder function that can securely hold a cup or the like without rattling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a vehicle seat in which a seat back can be tilted forward to a seat cushion side is well-known, and further, a table surface is provided on the back surface of the seat back and a cup receiver is incorporated in the table surface. Are also known (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-71055 and
189829).

However, in a conventional vehicle seat having a cup holder function, since the holding force of the cup is weak, the cup is not subjected to a large shock such as when rattling occurs or a sudden brake is applied during running. There was a problem that the cup could not be maintained and the cup could fall. On the other hand, when trying to increase the holding power of the cup, there is a problem that the structure is complicated, the usability is deteriorated, and the production cost is increased.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, has a sufficient holding force, can surely hold a cup or the like without rattling, and can perform sudden braking. Even if a large impact is applied, such as when it is applied, the cup etc. can be prevented from tipping over, and a simple mechanism can be used to demonstrate excellent operability. It has been completed for the purpose of providing a vehicle seat that can be achieved.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A vehicle seat according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, has a headrest mounted on a top portion of a seatback body which can be tilted forward and downward, and a headrest and a seatback. A cup holding plate is provided between the main body and the main body so as to be resilient in a direction in which the distance between the two is reduced, so that when the seat back main body is tilted forward, the space between the headrest and the seat back main body can be used as a cup holder. It is characterized by having been done in this way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drawings show a case where the present invention is applied to a rear seat, wherein 1 is a seat cushion, 2 is a seat back body, and 3 is a vertically movable headrest provided on an upper portion of the seat back body 2. The seat back in which the headrest 3 is movably lifted and lowered at the top of the seat back body 2 which can be tilted forward can be tilted forward toward the upper surface of the seat cushion 1 by a well-known reclining mechanism. Is basically the same as a conventional vehicle seat.

In the present invention, between the top of the seat back body 2 and the lower surface of the headrest 3,
A cup holding plate 7 is provided that is resiliently repelled in a direction in which the distance between the two is reduced, so that the space between the headrest 3 and the seat back body 2 can be used as a cup holder when the seat back body 2 is tilted forward. It has a characteristic configuration at a certain point. In order to make such a configuration, in this embodiment, the lower portion on the back side of the headrest 3 is formed in the notch step 4 for receiving the cup, while the notch step 4 is always formed on the top of the seatback body 2 by the spring member 6. The headrest 3 is slid so as to substantially match the outer diameter of the cup or the like while the seat back body 2 is tilted forward toward the upper surface of the seat cushion 1 by providing a cup holding plate 7 which is pressed toward When the lower portion of the cup or the beverage can is accommodated in the recess formed by the step portion 4 and the top portion of the seat back body 2, the cup or the beverage can and the like is elastically moved between the cutout step portion 4 and the cup holding plate 7. It is designed to be securely held without being rattled.

The cup holding plate 7 makes the distance between the headrest 3 and the seatback body 2 formed by the sliding movement of the headrest 3 smaller than the distance between the lock grooves formed in the headrest stay 3a by using elasticity. Since the cup holding plate 7 is used for adjustment and a reliable holding state is obtained by the cup holding plate 7 being in close contact with a cup or the like, if the cup holding plate 7 is located between the top of the seat back body 2 and the headrest 3 Therefore, the cup holding plate 7 may be provided on the headrest 3 side. The seat back body 2 may of course be provided with a panel so that its back surface can be used as a table.

Further, plastic forming plates 5a and 5b are provided so as to cover the inner surface of the notch step 4 and the top of the seat back body 2. The molding plates 5a and 5b maintain the strength and improve the appearance, and can cover the end of the cover member of the seatback body 2 and the headrest 3, so that the seatback body 2 and the headrest 3 In the case of being covered with a cover member, the trouble of performing terminal treatment can be omitted and the appearance is excellent. . The molding plate 5b attached to the top of the seat back 2 also has a function as a support member for the headrest stay 3a.

[0010] The vehicle seat having the above-described structure is configured such that the seat back composed of the seat back body 2 and the headrest 3 can be tilted forward toward the upper surface of the seat cushion 1 by a well-known reclining mechanism. Is used as in the prior art, but when the cup holder function is to be exerted, the seat back body 2 is moved forward and the headrest 3 which can be moved up and down is pulled out to form the notch step 4 and the seat back body. The lower part of a cup or the like (a bottle in the figure) is housed in a recess formed by the top of the headrest 2 and the headrest 3 is further moved to a headrest stay 3a.
When the lock groove is pushed back to the position where the lock groove is locked, the cup etc.
And the cup holding plate 7 which is interposed between and is resiliently repelled in a direction in which the distance between the two is reduced, so that the cup or the like is securely prevented from tipping over.

[0011] Further, when the forming plates 5a and 5b are attached to the back surface of the notch step portion 4 and the back surface of the seat back body 2, the strength is maintained and the appearance is improved.
Since the terminals of the cover member that covers the seat back 2 and the headrest 3 can be hidden by the forming plates 5a and 5b, the time and effort for performing the terminal treatment can be omitted and the appearance can be improved.

[0012]

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has a sufficient holding force, can hold a cup or the like securely without rattling, and has a large holding force such as when a sudden brake is applied. Even when a shock is applied, the cup and the like can be prevented from overturning, excellent operability can be exhibited with a simple mechanism, and further, the production cost is low and the cost can be reduced. . Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to industrial development as a vehicle seat that has eliminated the conventional problems.
