Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to an automobile seat device.

(Prior Art) Many seats for automobiles, particularly Epox type automobiles, have been made variable in their orientation, thereby enabling multi-purpose use.

As a type of such sheet, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-1896
There is one shown in Publication No. 47. This product has a seat cushion that extends in the left-right direction of the vehicle, divided into three parts: the left and right end seats and the center seat in the middle.
Both end seats are horizontally rotatable, while the center seat is movable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. With this configuration, the general circumference shape 7 in which both end seats and the center seat are lined up in a straight line in the left-right direction of the vehicle body is achieved.
(It is possible to seat three people side-by-side facing directly forward or rearward, and is generally referred to as a bench style.) In addition, each end seat can be placed diagonally toward the inside of the vehicle to make it more suitable for conversations, etc. You will be able to choose your state. In particular, by providing a pair of seats as described above so as to face each other in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and assuming that a total of four both-end seats are each placed in the above-mentioned diagonal position, the two-end seats will be placed on each side of the rectangular table. It is possible to create a situation where the four people face each other, for example, around a mahjong table (hereinafter, such a situation will be referred to as a four-way face-to-face position in this specification), and four people can interact or play games on i. This is extremely suitable.

On the other hand, for example, the seats behind the driver's seat in a one-box car include a pair of left and right independent seats that are spaced apart from each other in the left and right direction in order to ensure comfortable seating for both the front and rear rows of seats.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Even in the case where the two rows of front and rear seats described above are constituted by a pair of left and right independent seats spaced apart from each other,
It is desired to be able to provide a four-way facing configuration as described in the above publication. In this case, the reason why the left and right seats are independent is to ensure a comfortable sitting position, and in the case of seats facing each other in four directions, it is necessary to drive for quite a long time to enjoy conversations and games. Since it is a prerequisite that people will do the same, the problem is how relaxed it can be when seated in four directions. Above all,
In the case of four-way seating, the problem is how to ensure sufficient leg space for each independent seat.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and
The two rows of front and rear seats behind the driver's seat are composed of a pair of left and right independent seats spaced apart from each other to the left and right, and each independent seat can create a 4-way facing seating condition, as well as 4-way facing seating. To provide a seat device for an automobile that can secure sufficient leg space when the car is seated.

(Means and operations for solving the problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, in a seat device for an automobile comprising two rows of front and rear seats behind the driver's seat, each of the two rows of front and rear seats is configured with a pair of left and right independent seats spaced apart in the left and right direction, and the back row seats The left and right independent seats in the front row seats are respectively rotatable in the horizontal direction and can take a front diagonal position facing forward and toward the center of the vehicle body in addition to the forward facing position, and the left and right independent seats in the front row seats are respectively rotatable in the horizontal direction. The seat is rotatable in the horizontal direction and can take a forward-facing position as well as a rear diagonal position facing toward the center of the vehicle body, and is a left-right independent seat for at least one of the two rows of seats. , respectively, are configured to be able to slide in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body in the state of the diagonal position.

With such a configuration, each independent seat can be configured to face each other in four directions by utilizing its rotation in the horizontal direction. Then, in this four-way facing state, by sliding at least one left-right independent seat in the front row or the rear row away from the other left-right independent seat in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, sufficient leg space is secured. .

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the attached drawings.

In FIG. 1, a car A, which is an Epox type, has a third row seat Sl, a second row seat S2, and a third row seat S3 on its floor F from the front side of the vehicle body to the rear side. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first row S1 is composed of a driver's seat l and a passenger seat 2 for two people. Seats s2 and s3 in the second and third rows are left independent seats 3L and 4L and right independent seats 3R14R, which are independent from each other on the left and right.
Each independent sheet 3L, 3R14L consists of
, 4R includes a seat cushion 5 and a seat back 6. Each of the independent sheets 3L, 3R, 4L, and 4R is attached to the floor surface F via a known rotating base 8 (see Figure 1), so that it can rotate freely in the horizontal direction. The center is indicated by the reference numeral 0 in FIGS. 2 and 3. As a result, the independent seats 4L and 4R of the third row seat S3
In addition to the forward facing position W1 (see FIG. 2), the front position W1 (see FIG. 2) can be selectively set to a front diagonal position facing toward the center of the vehicle body (see FIG. 3). In addition to the forward facing position (see Fig. 2), the second row seat 52 can also be located at a known rearward facing position, and furthermore at a rear diagonal position facing towards the center of the vehicle body (see Figure 2).
