Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a folding chair for a vehicle that is used in a loading platform of a vehicle.

Conventionally, this type of folding chair for vehicles has been mainly used on the floor of the loading platform, and its format has been either a fixed seat type with the backrest part folded forward, or a fixed seat type with the backrest part folded forward. Furthermore, a so-called flip-up method is used in which the ball is flipped forward.

However, with this method, the volume of the folded chair as a whole is not always reduced when not in use, and it is also not easy to remove the chair from the floor of the loading platform.

Furthermore, since the structure of the chair is complicated, it is difficult to reduce manufacturing costs.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 38-22526 discloses a folding device for a longitudinal seat for a vehicle. In this folding device, the tip of a support rod is connected with a pin in the middle of the seat, and the stopper of the seat When in use, the structure is such that the bracket is opened at the front and fitted into the engagement groove cut out in the bracket, so if you are sitting deeply on the seat while driving, the vehicle will not shake. If the seat is moved, there is a risk that the stopper will come out of the engagement groove, making it unstable, and furthermore, the folding operation of the seat is troublesome.

The purpose of this invention is to make it easy to open the legs when in use and fold them when not in use with a single touch, and to make it easy to open the legs when in use and fold them when not in use. maintains stability in the open leg state, is not bulky in the folded state, and is easy to attach to and remove from the floor of the cargo platform, and
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a folding chair for a vehicle that reduces manufacturing costs.

With these issues in mind, this folding chair for vehicles is designed to
A pair of brackets each consisting of a cross-sectional chevron-shaped member that stands vertically and is screwed to a vehicle loading platform at a predetermined interval; a guide slot that extends in the vertical direction and is formed in each of the brackets; The guide slot has lock holes extending substantially horizontally and continuously forward from the upper and lower ends of the guide slot, and is movable into the lock holes above and below the lock holes, and both ends are fitted into the guide slot. A U-shaped movable stay connected with a pin between the slide rod and the lower end of the bracket, and the slide rod.
A pair of connecting arms that have one end connected to the rod and the other end connected with a pin approximately in the middle of the side stay part of the movable stay, and a tension between the slide rod and the top stay part of the movable stay. It consists of the passed campus.

Hereinafter, a specific example of a desirable folding chair for a vehicle according to this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3, a folding vehicle chair of this invention used in a light-duty truck is shown as a whole by the reference numeral 10.

The vehicle folding chair 10 includes a pair of brackets 11,
It is composed of a slide rod 12, a U-shaped movable stay 13, a pair of connecting arms 14, and a campus 15.

The pair of brackets 11 are vertically erected, and
They are placed on the truck bed at predetermined intervals.

The bracket 11 is elongated and has a chevron-shaped cross section, and its upper and lower ends are removably attached to the floor 17 of the loading platform or the top rail 19 of the body outer panel 18 by means of attachment screws 16.

Further, the pair of brackets 11 are provided with a guide slot 20 extending in the vertical direction on the upper end side, and are provided with upper and lower lock holes 21 continuously formed at the upper and lower ends of the guide slot 20, respectively.

In particular, the upper and lower lock holes 21 are formed substantially horizontally and continuously extending forward from the upper and lower ends of the guide slot 20, respectively.

Both ends of the slide rod 12 are fitted into guide slots 20 so that it can be moved into the upper and lower lock holes 21.

The movable stay 13 is formed by bending a metal pipe into a U-shape, and includes left and right side stay portions 22.
23 and a top stay part 24.

Further, the lower ends of the side stay portions 22, 23 are rotatably connected to the lower ends of the corresponding brackets via pins 25, respectively.

The pair of connecting arms 14 are a type of link rotatably connected by a pin 26 between both ends of the slide rod 12 and the side stay portions 22,23.

The position of the pin 26 is set below (from the middle of the side stay portions 22, 23), so that when the movable stay 13 is folded toward the bracket 11, the connecting arm 14 is connected to the slide rod. 12 upward, and when the legs are opened, the slide rod 12 is pulled down.

The canvas 15 is stretched over the slide rod 12 and the top stay part 24 facing the slide rod 12, and is fixed so as to wrap around both ends thereof.

As mentioned above, when this vehicle folding chair 10 is used, the legs are opened as shown in FIGS.
The slide rod 12 is fitted into the lower lock hole 21 of the bracket 11 and locked, thereby stopping the movable stay 13.

When not in use, by closing the legs as shown in FIG. 3, the canvas 15 is folded and the slide rod 12
is fitted into the lock hole 21 above the bracket 11 and locked, stopping the leg opening action.

According to the above-mentioned invention, the lock holes are formed so as to extend substantially horizontally and continuously forward from the upper and lower ends of the guide slot, respectively, and a pair of connecting arms connect one end to the slide rod. However, since the other end of the movable stay is connected with a pin approximately in the middle of the side stay part, the opening operation when in use and the folding operation when not in use are performed with a single touch, making these operations extremely easy. and also,
The open leg position during use is reliably maintained regardless of the shaking of the vehicle during driving, and the stability of the open leg position is ensured.Furthermore, in the folded state, it does not take up bulk, and the floor of the cargo bed It is easier to attach and detach the vehicle, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve applicability to freight vehicles.
