Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the arrangement structure of in-vehicle audio equipment.

Conventionally, in-vehicle audio equipment such as radios and car stereos usually have an operating section such as a tuner or tape playback device, and a speaker section configured separately, and the operating section is mounted on a dashboard panel, console box, or Because it is located at the front of the vehicle interior, such as at the front end of the ceiling, occupants on the front seats can operate the operation section, but occupants on the rear seats cannot operate the operation section. Nakatsuta. Therefore, in addition to the operation section located at the front of the vehicle interior, the operation section of the in-vehicle audio equipment is attached to a support member protruding from the floor near the back of the front seat, so that it can also be operated by passengers on the rear seats. There is an arrangement structure that allows this, but doing so would require two operating parts for the audio equipment for the front seats and one for the rear seats, as well as a new support member to attach the operating parts for the rear seats. Since it was necessary to install the same, there were problems such as increased production costs.

The present invention was devised in view of the above, and includes seats for two people installed next to the driver's seat in an automobile, and the seat back of the center seat among the three seats including the driver's seat. The gist of this invention is an arrangement structure for an in-vehicle audio device, characterized in that the seat bag is configured to be able to be raised and lowered relative to the cushion, and the audio device or its operating section is arranged on the back surface of the seat bag.

According to the present invention, in the first position where the seat bag of the passenger seat adjacent to the driver's seat is tilted toward the seat cushion, the operating section of the in-vehicle audio device is located to the side of the driver. Therefore, the same driver can easily operate the operation section. On the other hand, in the second position where the front seat back is upright against the seat cushion, the operating section is located in front of or diagonally in front of the passenger on the rear seat, so the passenger on the rear seat remains seated. The operating section can be easily operated in this posture.

Therefore, the operating section of one in-vehicle audio device can be easily used by the occupants on the driver seat and the rear seat, and there is no need to install two operating sections of the audio device. Since it only needs to be installed in one place in the car, it has the advantage of being able to be implemented at a lower cost than conventional systems. In addition, the present invention is particularly advantageous in that the front seat has three
If applied to a car that can accommodate a person and whose center seat is not often used, the operation unit of the audio equipment will be placed on the back of the seat back of the center seat, which is located next to the driver's seat.
If the seat back of the center seat is folded down, not only the driver but also the passenger on the opposite side of the center seat can operate the control section of the audio equipment. The occupant can also operate the operating section of the audio equipment, which further enhances the effect.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a recess 20 is formed on the back surface of the seat back 14 of the passenger seat 10, and is capable of accommodating the operating section 18 of an audio device such as a radio or car stereo. , a hook 22 made of an L-shaped plate attached to the seat bag 14, and a hook 22 made of an L-shaped plate attached to the seat bag 14;
Two hook levers 28 protrude, each of which is rotatably supported by a pin 24 and biased clockwise in FIG. 4 by a spring 26, each having a hook-shaped tip. These two levers 28 are connected to each other at their front ends by a rod 32. On the other hand, the operating section 18 of the audio equipment has a fan-shaped recess 34 formed on the lower surface into which the hook 22 fits, and a rod 38 that can be engaged with a hook lever 28 is horizontally suspended in a recess 36 formed on the back surface. Therefore, the operating section 18 of the audio equipment is located in the recess 34.
and the hook 22 and the rod 38 and the hook lever 28, and as shown in the figure, the operation part 1
The seat bag 14 is attached to the seat bag 14 by the abutment between the top 18a of the seat bag 8 and the top wall 20a of the recess 20. Further, a lever 42 rotatably supported on the seat bag 14 by a pin 40 has one end connected to the rod 32 via a rod 44, and has an operation knob 46 at the tip at the other end. A rod 50 slidably supported by a guide 48 is connected to the rod 50 . Additionally, a lock device 52 attached to the seat bag 14
is operated by the key 54, and the lock lever 56 moves to the illustrated position in FIG. 4 to prevent clockwise rotation of the lever 42, and to the position shown in FIG. It can be moved to a position where it will not be blocked. Therefore, the lock bar 56 of the lock device 52 locks the lever 4.
2 is prevented from rotating, the lever 28 will not disengage from the rod 38 even if the operating knob 46 is pressed by mistake. When removing the operating section 18 of the audio equipment from the seat back 14, first move the lock bar 56 of the locking device 52 to the left in FIG.
Rotate the hook lever 28 counterclockwise via the lever 42, rod 44, and rod 32 to disengage the hook lever 28 from the rod 38, and then move the operating section 18 of the audio equipment to the engagement point between the recess 34 and the hook 22. This is done by rotating the operating part 18 counterclockwise in the same figure around , and finally lifting the operating part 18 upward to disengage the recessed part 34 and the hook 22. When attaching the operating section 18 to the seat back 14, first engage the recess 34 at the bottom of the operating section 18 of the audio equipment with the hook 22 provided on the seat back 14, and then push in the operating knob 46 to release the foot lever. 28 in a counterclockwise direction, and in this state, the operating section 18 of the audio device is rotated clockwise around the engagement point between the recess 34 and the hook 22, so that it can be engaged with the rod 38 and the hook lever 28.
