Description

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

Sports cars and other sporty-oriented vehicles have a low overall vehicle height due to fluid dynamics or styling considerations. As a result, bucket-type seats, which have a lower hip point and hold the hips or both thighs of the seated person from the left and right sides, are often used.

Figures 1 and 2 are examples based on Japanese Utility Model Application No. 48-83519. In the figures, 1 is the door, 2 is the seat, 3 is the cushion, 3a is the seat surface, 3
b is a frame, 3c is a spring, and 3d is a pad. Reference numeral 4 designates a bulging buffer portion which is provided on the indoor side of the door 1 and also serves as an armrest; 5 is a boundary buffer portion which demarcates the boundary with an adjacent seat and also serves as a seamless sheet; and 6 is a slide.

In a seat having this structure, the bulging buffer portion 4 also moves when the door 1 is opened, so that it does not get in the way when exiting the vehicle. However, since the width of the vehicle body is naturally limited, the space formed by the thick bulging buffer section 4 and the boundary buffer section 5 becomes narrower, and therefore the seat surface 3a provided within that space becomes even narrower. Put it away. For this reason, the frame 3b and spring 3 provided around the cushion portion 3
c gives a hard feeling to the occupants and makes the ride uncomfortable.

Further, since the widths of the bulging buffer portion 4 and the boundary buffer portion 5 cannot be adjusted at all, there is a problem that overweight people cannot ride the vehicle.

This invention was made by focusing on the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a bucket-type automobile seat that has raised side cushions on both the door side and the passenger compartment side. The side cushion portion of the door is formed into a tongue-shaped flexible side cushion portion that can be bent vertically very easily, and the flexible side cushion portion is supported from below by a support portion protruding from the door. By making
The purpose is to solve the above problems.

Hereinafter, the structure of this invention will be explained with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.

In the figure, 7 is a door, 8 is a seat, and 9 is a cushion section, which is composed of a center cushion section 9a, a flexible side cushion section 9b on the door side, and a side cushion section 9c on the passenger compartment side. The flexible side cushion portion 9b is thinner than the side cushion portion 9c on the side of the passenger compartment and is formed into a tongue shape, so that it can be bent vertically very easily by a built-in flexible pad 16 (described later). 10 is a lower frame, 11 is an upper main frame, and 12 is an upper side frame which is connected to the upper main frame 11 with a pin 13 and rotates up and down. 14 is a spring stretched on the upper main frame 11; 15
16 is a spring stretched between the lower frame 10 and the upper main frame, and 16 is a flexible pad filled inside the cushion portion 9. 17
a support stand 18 protruding from the vehicle interior side of the door 7 and supporting the side cushion portion 9b on the door side from below;
Similarly, numeral 19 is an armrest protruding from the interior of the door 7, and numeral 19 is a hard pad filled inside these 17 and 18. The support base 17 and the side cushion portion 9b are configured so that they do not interfere with each other even when the seat 8 slides back and forth.

Next, the action will be explained.

First, when getting in the car, open the door 7, push down the flexible side cushion part 9b from above with your hands or with your hips and thighs in the direction of arrow A, and bring it to the chain line position and sit on the seat 8. . At this time,
Since the upper side frame 12 rotates downward around the pin 13, the flexible side cushion portion 9b can be pushed down very easily and uniformly. Moreover, since it has a built-in flexible pad 16, it bends and lowers.

Next, when the user sits on the center cushion portion 9a, the flexible side cushion portions 9b are simultaneously restored to their original positions. When the door 7 is closed after returning, the support base 17 of the door 7 goes under the flexible side cushion part 9b and supports the flexible side cushion part 9b so that it will not fall even if a load is applied. do.

On the other hand, when getting off the vehicle, the rider opens the door 7, shifts his or her body onto the flexible side cushion portion 9b, and gets off while pushing down in the direction of arrow A using his/her body weight. After getting off the vehicle, the load is released and the flexible side cushion portion 9b
Close door 7 when it is restored.

As mentioned above, the seat of this invention is a bucket-type seat that has raised side cushions on the door side and on the passenger compartment side, and the side cushions on the door side are formed with flexible tongues. The flexible side cushion is formed in the shape of a flexible side cushion, and this is supported from below by a support mounted on the door, so the seating surface is wide from the flexible side cushion to the side cushion on the passenger compartment side. can be secured. Therefore, when you sit on the seat, the seat surface feels soft and does not give a hard feeling like the conventional one, so the riding comfort is good. In addition, even overweight people can ride it easily because it doesn't feel as cramped as in the past.

Furthermore, since the flexible side cushions of the seat of this invention are soft and easily bend under body weight, they do not interfere with getting on and off at all, and are excellent in getting on and off.
