Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to an automobile rear seat footrest device.

When you sit on the back seat of a car and stretch your lower legs forward, the angle between your lower legs and feet, that is, the foot angle α (fourth
(see figure) is comfortably in the range of 95 to 115 degrees.

In order to maintain the above foot angle α at a comfortable angle,
It is conceivable to create a two-trestle structure by sloping the floor surface in front of the rear seats upward in the front, but in this case, the rigidity of the floor decreases, causing vibration and noise, and the foot angle α is fixed, reducing the degree of freedom. There is a disadvantage that the amount of oxidation decreases (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-39929).

This invention provides a rear seat footrest device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a floor, 2 is a front seat, and 3 is a rear seat.

A pair of channel-shaped sliding members 4 are fixed to both ends of the bottom plate 2a of the front seat 2, and the sliding members 4 are attached to a pair of rails 6 horizontally installed on the floor 1 by means of a frame 5. It is slidably attached via rollers 6a, so that the front seat 2 can be slid in the front-rear direction.

The outer end of the upper bent portion 7a of the U-shaped sliding member 7 is fixed to the inner and outer surfaces of the sliding member 4 of the front seat 2,
Further, a roller 1c is rotatably supported on the lower bent portion 7b of the sliding member 7.

On the other hand, the footrest 8 includes a plate portion 9 on which the feet are placed;
Side plate portions 1 are bent and erected on both sides of the front portion of the plate portion 9.
0a, and the guide member 10 is
is formed.

The rear end of the plate portion 9 is rotatably supported by a pair of bearing members 11 provided on the floor 1 below the front end of the rear seat 3, and the sliding member 7 is supported by a guide portion 10b of the guide member 10. The rollers 7c are rotatably engaged (
・Ru.

In the above structure, if you sit on the rear seat 3 and do not stretch your legs, the front seat 2 should be positioned at the rear as shown in FIG.
Use it in close contact with the top.

When extending the lower limbs forward, the front sheet 2 is slid forward, and the rollers 7c of the sliding member 7 are connected to the guide member 10.
By rolling the guide portion 10b and moving forward, the footrest 8 rotates and tilts forward about the bearing member 11, so that the foot angle α can be adjusted to a desired angle.

In the above embodiment, the guide members 10 are integrally formed on both sides of the plate portion 9 of the footrest 8, but
A separate guide member may be attached to the plate portion 9.

Further, in the above embodiment, the sliding member γ is fixed to the sliding member 4 at the bottom of the front seat 2, and the guide member 10 is provided to the footrest 8. However, in contrast to this, as shown in FIG. , an inverted-shaped sliding member 12 is installed upright on the upper surface of the footrest 8, and the upper end of the guide member 13 is fixed to the inner and outer surfaces of the sliding member 4, and the sliding member 12 is slidable on the guide portion 13b of the guide member 13. The roller 12c of the movable member 12 may be engaged with the roller 12c in a freely rolling manner.

Furthermore, the engagement between the sliding members γ, 12 and the guide portions 10bt13b in the above embodiments is not limited to the above embodiments.

As explained above, this idea consists of a front seat that can slide in the front-rear direction, a footrest whose rear end is pivoted to the floor, and a guide section that is tilted toward the front with respect to the sliding direction of the front seat. and a sliding member that fits and slides on the guide part, and one of the guide member and the sliding member is provided at the lower part of the front seat, and the other is provided at the front part of the footrest. Therefore, when the front seat is slid forward, the footrest inclines forward and upward as the front seat slides, making it possible to set the foot angle of the passenger in the rear seat at a comfortable angle.

In addition, the structure of the rear seat footrest device is simple,
The present invention can be easily attached to a passenger car whose front seat is slidable in the longitudinal direction.
