DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the arrangement of seats installed in a vehicle such as a five-seater one-box car.
Is a perspective view of a rear seat, and FIG. 3 is an operation explanatory view.

In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a front seat, which comprises a driver's seat 1a and a passenger's seat 1b, and a walk-through portion 2 through which a person passes is provided between the driver's seat 1a and the passenger's seat 1b. The console box 3 is installed in the walk-through section 2.

Below the console box 3, for example, two guard rails 5 are laid so as to be parallel to each other on the floor from the walk-through portion 2 to a position below the rear seat 4. A plurality of sliding means (not shown) provided at the bottom of the console box 3 are slidably engaged with each other, and the console box 3 is provided between the front seat 1 and the rear seat 4 from the front. It can move to the part 4a.

The console box 3 comprises a box-shaped main body 3a and a lid 3b for opening and closing the upper opening of the main body 3a. The rear end of the lid 3b is connected to the main body 3a by a hinge (not shown). It is hinged, and the lid 3b is openable and closable in the up-down direction around the leg, and the upper surface of the lid 3b has elasticity.

On the other hand, the rear seat 4 is composed of a seat portion 4b and a backrest portion 4c, and the console box storage portion 4a is formed substantially at the center of the seat portion 4b.

The console box storage portion 4a is formed by notching the seating portion 4b slightly larger than the width of the main body 3a of the console box 3, and moves the console box 3 moved rearward along the guide rail 5. The main body 3a can be stored almost completely. At this time, the front surface of the main body 3a and the front surface of the rear seat 4 are substantially flush with each other, and the lid 3b of the console box 3 has a seating portion. It protrudes upward from the upper surface of 4b and can be used as an armrest.

The console box storage portion 4a of the rear seat 4 is provided with a central seat 4d for covering the upper surface of the console box storage portion 4a when the console box 3 is moved between the front seats 1. .

The center seat 4d has a lower rear end hinged by a hinge (not shown), and is rotatable up and down around the hinge. As shown in FIG. Console box 3 in walk-through section 2
Is moved to a substantially horizontal position and the front end is locked by a stopper (not shown) so that the upper surface becomes the seating surface 4b.
When the console box 3 is stored in the console box storage section 4a, the person stands up along the front surface of the backrest section 4c as shown in FIG. I can do it.

Next, the operation of the above-configured console box storage device will be described.

In normal times, as shown in FIG. 1, the console box 3 is moved between the driver's seat 1a and the passenger's seat 1b of the front seat 1 and is fixed by locking means (not shown). This is convenient because small items 3 can be easily stored or taken out.

When a person moves in the vehicle, first, the center seat 4d of the rear seat 4 is flipped upward to open the console box storage portion 4a. 2 and 3, the console box 3 is moved into the console box storage portion 4a along the way, and is fixed by locking means (not shown).

As a result, a walk-through portion 2 is formed between the driver's seat 1a and the front passenger seat 1b of the front seat 1,
By passing through the walk-through section 2, the front seat 1
Since the person who moves to the rear seat 4 or the person who moves from the rear seat 4 to the front seat 1 can easily move, the console box 3 is stored in the console box storage part 4a of the rear seat 4 at this time. , It does not hinder movement.

In the above embodiment, when the center seat 4d is erected, it protrudes forward from the front of the backrest 4c. However, as shown in FIGS.
The storage part 4e capable of storing the central seat 4d is recessed at the center of the central seat 4c.
When the central seat 4d is stored in the rear seat 4d as shown in FIG. 4, the central seat 4d does not protrude from the front surface of the backrest 4c, so that the appearance is good and the rear seat 4 does not become narrow.

When the console box 3 is moved forward, as shown in FIG. 5, the center seat 4d is tilted to a substantially horizontal position to be flush with the seat portion 4b.
The center seat 4d can also be seated.

On the other hand, in the case of an automobile having a rear seat 4 provided with an undulating armrest, the center seat 4d can be used also as an armrest, and the front seat 1 and the rear seat 4 can be used.
The same can be applied to a seven-seater automobile provided with an intermediate seat 6 as shown in FIG.

That is, in a seven-seat seat, a walk-through portion 2 is provided between the front seat 1 and the intermediate seat 6, and the console box 3 is moved from the front seat 1 through the walk-through portion 2 of the intermediate seat 6. By moving the rear seat 4 to the console box storage section 4a of the rear seat 4, it is possible to easily move a person in the vehicle as in the case of five-seater.

[0034]

As described in detail above, in the present invention, a console box storage portion is provided in the rear seat, and the console box provided in the walk-through portion between the front seats is moved to the console box storage portion. Because of the storage, the console box does not become an obstacle when a person moves in the vehicle.

As a result, the person can easily move in the vehicle, and since the troublesome operation of moving the console box back and forth every time the person moves is not required, the operability can be greatly improved.

In the console box accommodated in the console box storage section, the lid can be used as an armrest, so that the livability of the rear seat is improved, and the console box can also be used in the rear seat. Small items can be easily stored and taken out.

When the console box is not stored in the console box storage portion, the upper surface of the console box storage portion is covered with the central seat, so that the user can sit on the central seat or use the central seat as an armrest. The same livability as the rear seat without storage is obtained, and if the storage for storing the central seat is recessed in the backrest in advance, when the central seat is stored, the center seat will be in front of the backrest. Since it does not protrude further, it is also good in appearance.
