Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the getting-ON/OFF performance by forming the right and left side parts of an instrument panel and the right and left side parts of a front seat cushion into a plane shape with which the space part in the vicinity of a floor formed between the both parts successively spreads towards the right and left side parts from the center part of a car. CONSTITUTION:Curved surfaces 1c and 1d are formed at the car compartment side edge part corresponding to the right and left side parts 1a and 1b of all instrument panel 1 onto which a veriety of meters, globe box, steering wheels, etc., are installed, and a nearly circular line C is drawn as a whole. While, curved surfaces 4c aud 4d are formed at the right and left side parts 4a and 4b of a front seat cushion 4 opposed to the instrument panel 1. and a nearly circular line D in the reverse phase to the line C as a whole is drawn therefore, the shape of the space part 5 formed by the lines C and D is formed so as to be spread successively towards the right and left side parts P and Q from the center part O of a car, and the getting-ON/OFF performance and residence performance can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to the structure of an automobile cabin, and in particular, to the space formed between the instrument panel and the front seat cushion, the space formed between the instrument panel and the front seat cushion can be raised to improve comfort and ease of getting in and out. It concerns an improved structure.

Conventional technology Regarding ordinary automobiles, for example, there is a technique known as "Hyaku-bishoho No. 560 (B1
Introduction to Type 2 cars) Usually, a single-chamber structure is adopted as disclosed in the interior section on page A-2. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, it is formed between an instrument panel 1 and a front seat cushion 4 consisting of a driver seat cushion 2 and an assistant seat cushion 3, which are arranged opposite to the instrument panel 1. The length δ of the space 5 in the front-rear direction is approximately the same whether it is located at the center of the vehicle or at both sides in the left-right direction. That is, in the plan view shown in FIG. 4, line A indicating the end of the instrument panel 1 on the vehicle interior side and line B indicating the front end of the front seat cushion 4 are approximately parallel to each other. The legs of the occupant are located in a space 5 near the floor formed between the space 5 and the line B.

Note that 6 is a console box disposed between the driver seat cushion 2 and the assistant seat cushion 3.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional vehicle cabin structure, the length δ in the longitudinal direction of the space 5 formed by the line A and the line B is longer than the center of the vehicle. Since both the left and right sides of the vehicle are substantially the same, it has been desired to further improve comfort during riding and ease of getting on and off the vehicle. In particular, when a large passenger gets on or off the vehicle, his or her knees or buttocks are likely to hit the left and right ends of the instrument panel 1 or the left and right ends of the front seat cushion 4. It may be difficult to change the position of the seat, making it difficult to obtain the desired sitting posture.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cabin structure that can solve the problems of conventional vehicle cabin structures and improve comfort and ease of getting in and out of the vehicle.

Means for Solving the Problem: The left and right sides of the instrument panel and the left and right sides of the front seat cushion facing the instrument panel are connected to each other between the front seat cushion and the instrument panel. The space near the floor has an irregular planar shape that gradually expands from the center of the vehicle toward both left and right sides.

Function: The space near the floor formed between the front seat cushion and the instrument panel gradually widens from the center of the vehicle toward both left and right sides, so that when a passenger gets in or out of the vehicle, his or her knees or buttocks do not touch the instrument. without hitting the edge of the flannel or seat cushion,
In addition, since there is plenty of leg space after getting on the vehicle, the feeling of openness in the legs is enhanced.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of an automobile cabin structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, with the same reference numerals given to the same components as in the conventional structure.

That is, 1 is an instrument panel, 2 is a Dryno seat cushion facing the instrument panel 1, and 3 is an assistant seat cushion, and the driver seat cushion 2 and the assistant seat cushion 3 form a front seat cushion 4. Reference numeral 6 indicates a console box, 7 indicates a left door, and 8 indicates a right door.The instrument panel 1 is equipped with various meters, a glove box, a steering wheel, etc., but all of them are conventional. Since this is just a configuration, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

The instrument panel 1 has left and right sides la, l.
A curved surface 1c is provided at the single-chamber side end corresponding to b.

1d is given, and the line C2 is generally arc-shaped as a whole.
It is drawn and composed. On the other hand, the left and right sides 4a and 4b of the front seat cushion 4 facing the instrument panel 1 also have curved surfaces 4c.

4d, and is constructed by drawing a generally arcuate line C2 having an opposite phase to the line C as a whole. Therefore, the shape of the space 5 formed by the line C and the line D is smaller than the length X in the longitudinal direction at the center of the vehicle.
The length y in the front-rear direction at both left and right sides is larger. In other words, the space 5 is formed to gradually expand from the center O of the vehicle toward the left and right sides P and Q, and in order to completely form the space 5, the instrument Left and right sides 1a, 1 of panel 1
b, and that the left and right side portions 4a, 4b of the seat cushion 4 have an irregular planar shape.

According to this configuration, the space 5 near the floor formed by the instrument nozzle 1 and the front seat cushion 4 extends from the center 0 of the vehicle to the left and right sides P,
Q, that is, it is expanded toward the left door I and the stone door 8, and a cabin structure in which the area of the space 5 is substantially expanded is obtained.

Effects of the Invention' As explained in detail above, the cabin structure according to the present invention has the following features:
The left and right sides of the instrument panel and the left and right sides of the front seat cushion facing the instrument panel are connected to a space near the floor formed between the front seat cushion and the instrument panel. Since it is formed to have an irregular planar shape that gradually expands from the center of the vehicle toward both left and right sides, the following effects are brought about.That is, when a passenger gets on and off, the space near the door widens. This makes it easier to get on and off the vehicle, and prevents the occupant's knees, buttocks, etc. from hitting the instrument panel or the edges of the front seat cushion, which may cause discomfort to the occupant. In addition, since more leg space is provided after riding, the degree of freedom in positioning the legs is increased, allowing the user to take any desired seating position, and providing a feeling of openness in the legs. be.
