Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a support structure for a rear seat installed in a van-type vehicle.

In general, the mounting position of the rear seat relative to the floor is different between passenger type and van type cars even in the same type of car.In other words, in passenger type cars, the rear seat is installed as far away from the front seat as possible in order to provide more legroom. On the other hand, in a van type, the rear seat is mounted closer to the front seat in order to increase the luggage space formed behind the rear seat, or in other words, the rear seat is mounted closer to the front in the direction of travel of the vehicle than the mounting position of a passenger type. be.

By the way, when a rear seat is installed in a van-type vehicle when floor panels of different types of vehicles are shared as described above, the front part of the seat cushion that constitutes the rear seat may overhang the stepped part of the rear floor van. Therefore, in the past, a reinforcing member was attached to the step part of the rear floor van, and this reinforcing member was used to receive the front part of the seat cushion, but in this case, a shared floor panel was constructed. Bolt holes for attaching the reinforcing member must be formed in the step part of the rear floor van that is installed in the vehicle. Even when attempting to utilize the space created under the seat cushion, the reinforcing member became an obstacle, making it impossible to utilize the space effectively.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems associated with conventional support structures of this type, and includes: attaching a front frame made of a strength member to the front lower part of the seat cushion in the rear seat; The present invention is characterized in that a side panel is provided with a bracket for mounting the seat cushion, and the front frame is supported by the bracket.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A support structure for a van rear seat according to the present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a floor panel consisting of a center floor van 1a and a rear floor van 1b formed one step higher than the center floor van 1a, and this floor panel 1 is used for both passenger type and van type cars in the same series. When used as a passenger type, the seat cushion of the rear seat is mounted on the rear floor van.
Further, when the vehicle is used as a van type vehicle, the front portion of the rear seat cushion is mounted so as to overhang forward of the stepped portion 10 of the rear floor van 1b.

Therefore, the present invention provides the floor panel 1 which can be used commonly for passenger type cars and van type cars as described above.
Regarding the support structure that supports the rear seat 2 for a van, the seat cushion 2 in the rear seat 2
A front frame 3 consisting of a strength member is attached to the front lower part of the seat cushion 2a, while a bracket 5 for mounting the seat cushion 2a is provided on the inside panel 4 constituting the body of the automobile. It was designed to support the frame 3.

That is, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the seat cushion 2a of the rear seat 2 is aligned with the vertical frame lines 21a, 21a.
The cushion frame 21 has a wire structure and is composed of horizontal frame lines 21b, 21b, a butt 22, and an outer skin 23.
The front frame 3 is disposed at the front end of the frame 3, and the front ends of the vertical frame lines 21a, 21a are fixed to the upper surface of the front frame 3 by welding.

Further, the aforementioned front frame 3 is made of a metal pipe material, and both ends of this frame 3 are crushed to form a flat part 31, and bolt holes 32 are bored in this flat part 31.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the mounting bracket 5 includes a fixing piece 51 to the inside panel 4 and a receiving piece 52 for receiving the seat cushion 2a.
and a mounting piece 5 for attaching the seat cushion 2a.
3, and in the embodiment shown in the figure,
A stepped portion 54 is provided on the mounting piece 53, so that when the seat cushion 2a is mounted on the bracket 5 as shown in FIG. 3, the skin 23 of the seat cushion 2a comes into contact with the edge of the mounting piece 53. It prevents you from doing so.

Note that 2b in the figure indicates a seat back that constitutes the rear seat 2.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and in order to attach the seat cushion 2a to the floor panel 1, first, bolts (not shown) are inserted into the insertion holes 51a, 51a formed in the fixing piece 51 of the bracket 5. The bracket 5 is attached to the inside panel 4 by screwing its insertion end to the inside panel 4.

Next, the rear part of the seat cushion 2a is placed on the rear floor van 1b, and the front part of the seat cushion 2a is placed on the step part 10 of the rear floor van 1b.
The seat cushion 2a is caused to overhang further forward, and both front corner portions of the seat cushion 2a are placed on the receiving piece 52.

After that, the elongated hole 53 formed in the mounting piece 53 is
The front part of the seat cushion 2a is fixed to the inside panel 4 via the bracket 5 by inserting a bolt 6 through the bolt 6 and screwing the inserted end into the bolt hole 32 of the flat part 31. It's good.

As described above, in the present invention, a front frame is attached to the front lower part of a seat cushion in a van rear seat, and a bracket for attaching the seat cushion is provided on a side panel constituting the body, and the front frame is attached to this bracket. If the seat cushion is supported on the floor panel in an overhanging manner,
There is no obstacle in the space created between the seat cushion and the floor panel, so the space can be effectively used as a storage space for small items. However, the shape of the opening of the space is reliably maintained by the front frame, and there is no need to form bolt holes for attaching reinforcing members in the stepped portion of the rear floor van that constitutes the floor panel, as in the past. Nor.

Furthermore, even if the vehicle is designed for a passenger car, the bolt holes in the side panel can be hidden by a trim cover without using any special members.
