Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a seat device for an automobile, and particularly to a seat device suitable for use in a wagon or pan-type automobile.

Generally, in wagons and pan-type cars, an opening for engine inspection is formed in the cabin floor, and a lid member that can be opened and closed is provided to cover this opening. An assistant seat is provided.

By the way, when modifying such a car from a right-hand drive vehicle to a left-hand drive vehicle, for example, the engine inspection opening may be moved from the left to the right in conjunction with the modification, but it is possible to simplify the modification. Therefore, only the position of the handle is changed while leaving the position of the opening unchanged.

However, when the lid member with a seat for engine inspection is opened and closed after such modification, there is a problem in that the front end of the seat cushion comes into contact with the handle.

The present invention aims to solve these problems, and provides an automobile seat device that allows the opening and closing of the inspection opening cover member to be performed without any hindrance even if the handle position is changed as described above. The purpose is to provide

For this reason, the automobile seat device of the present invention has a lid member whose rear end is pivoted in the vehicle interior to rotate around the rear rotation axis in the vehicle width direction, and which covers the inspection opening, and which is substantially parallel to the rotation axis. A foldable seat cushion consisting of a seat cushion whose rear end is attached to the lid member and a seat back pivoted to the rear of the lid member so as to rotate about a front rotation axis located forward of the vehicle from the same rotation axis. The vehicle is characterized in that a curved portion recessed toward the rear of the vehicle is formed at the front end of the lid member and below the seat cushion.

Hereinafter, an automobile seat device as an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 2 is a partial plan view showing a lid member thereof.

As shown in FIG. 1, an engine inspection opening 3 is formed in the floor 2 of the vehicle compartment 1, and a lid member 4 that can cover this opening 3 has a rear end having a rotation axis A in the vehicle width direction. It is pivotally connected to the floor 2 in the vehicle interior 1 via a hinge 5.

This allows the lid member 4 to rotate around the rotation axis A in the vehicle width direction.

Further, a foldable driver's seat S is disposed on the lid member 4, and this seat S is attached to the lid member 4 via an adjuster 6 so that its position in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be adjusted. The seat cushion 7 includes a seat cushion 7 and a seat back 9 pivotally attached to a bracket 8 provided at the rear of the lid member 4.

Further, the rear part of the seat cushion 7 is attached to a bracket 10 with an adjuster 6 so that the rear part of the seat cushion 7 can be rotated about a front rotation axis B that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis A of the lid member 4 and located in front of the rotation axis A. It is pivoted to.

Therefore, the front edge of the seat cushion 7 can take a rotation locus as shown by the symbol C independently of the lid member 4, so that, for example, when opening the lid member 4, the seat cushion 7 can be rotated in advance. Since the front part can be rotated about the rotational axis B along the rotational trajectory C, the front end of the seat cushion 7 can be rotated along the rotational trajectory C as shown in FIG. Nothing happens.

After that, the lid member 4 is rotated by rotating it around the rotation axis A, and the hooks (not shown) of the lid member 4 are appropriately engaged with the vehicle body. ,
Carry out engine inspection work, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, a curved edge 4a recessed toward the rear of the vehicle is formed at a position corresponding to the handle 11 on the front edge of the lid member 4, so that the front edge of the lid member 4 is It can be rotated without coming into contact with the handle 11.

Further, since the rotation locus of the front end of the adjuster 6 with the lid member 4 is as shown by the symbol E, the adjuster 6 will not hit the handle 11 even if the lid member 4 is rotated.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 12 indicates a packing.

By the way, if the lid member 4 is to be closed after being opened as described above, the opening operation described above may be reversed.

That is, first, the lid member 4 is rotated to close it, and then the seat cushion 7 is rotated to return it to its original state.

Note that when opening the lid member 4, if the seat cushion 7 must be rotated and lifted before the lid member 4 can be rotated, it will be possible to accidentally hit the seat cushion 7 against the handle 11. It is possible to prevent erroneous operations such as

As described in detail above, according to the automobile seat device of the present invention, the lid member that covers the inspection opening is pivotally mounted at its rear end in the passenger compartment so as to rotate about the rear rotation axis in the vehicle width direction. , the rear end is pivoted to the seat cushion attached to the lid member and the rear part of the lid member so as to rotate around a front rotation axis that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis and forward of the vehicle from the rotation axis. The lid member 4 is provided with a foldable seat consisting of a seat back, and a curved portion recessed toward the rear of the vehicle is formed at the front end of the lid member and below the seat cushion, so that the lid member 4 can be opened and closed. This has the advantage that this can be done smoothly without causing interference with other members in the vehicle interior.
