[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a vehicle seat in which front and rear seats are arranged, and in particular, it is possible for rear seat occupants to throw their feet, etc. onto the front seat cushion through a notch formed in the front seat back. This relates to vehicle seats that can be used.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a hole penetrates in the front-rear direction at a position from the lower side of the seat back 3 of the front seat 1 in each of the front seats 1 and rear seats 2 arranged in the front and rear of a vehicle such as an automobile. A vehicle seat has already been proposed by the present applicant, in which a notch 4 is formed to allow the rear seat occupant to put his or her feet on the seat cushion 5 of the front seat and relax through the notch 4. be. That is, in the case of a passenger car, this seat is provided as a so-called passenger seat, and in normal use, the removable backrest part 6, which forms part of the seat back, is fitted into the notch part 4. It can be used in exactly the same way as a seat, and when the occupant M wants to relax, he or she can fold the removable backrest 6 and the front seat cushion 5 by folding the removable backrest 6 backwards and opening the notch 4 as shown in the figure.
It is designed so that you can throw your feet up.

However, in this seat, for the person sitting in the seat next to him, that is, the driver's seat, the legs of the rear seat passenger can be seen sticking out into the seat next to him, which is not very comfortable. It can be a nuisance, and for some people, it can even interfere with driving.

This idea was developed by focusing on the conventional problems, and it covers the notch formed in the seat back and allows parts of the body such as the legs of the rear seat occupant to be placed on the seat cushion through the notch. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat in which a seat back is provided with a skin material that covers the seat, thereby preventing an adverse effect on a person sitting in an adjacent seat.

This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

3 to 5 show an embodiment of this invention, in which the seat 1A has a seat cushion 5 and a seat back 3. The seat bag 3 is provided with a notch 4 penetrating in the front-rear direction at a lower position, and a removable backrest 6 constituting a part of the seat bag is fitted into the notch 4. This removable backrest 6 is connected to the seatback 3 by a link 7, and can be folded backwards as shown in Fig. 4 if necessary. The occupant M can throw a part of his body, usually his legs, onto the seat cushion 5 through the detachable backrest 6 and the open cutout 4. and,
In this embodiment, a sheet-like skin material 8 such as cloth or leather is arranged on the backrest surface, that is, the front surface, of the seat bag 3 so as to cover the notch 4, and the upper edge 8a of the skin material 8 is sewn to the seat bag 3. It is attached with adhesive or fasteners and is provided in a hanging shape. It is preferable that the length of the skin material 8 along the vertical direction be long enough to not cause an obstruction to the front seat occupant.

Therefore, according to the seat configured as above, by folding the removable backrest 6 backward to open the notch 4 as shown in FIG. When you throw your foot out, the skin material 8
covers over the feet to hide them and prevent them from being exposed. Therefore, the feet are of course not visible to the occupants sitting next to them, and they do not cause any discomfort or bother them while driving.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the skin material 8A is formed integrally with the seat cover 9, which is easier to handle than when the skin material 8A is attached directly to the seat back 3.

Still other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
This seat 1B has a cover material 8B made of a stretchable sheet-like member, and its upper edge 8a is connected to the seat back 3.
The lower edge 8b is fixed to the lower side of the notch 4 of the seat bag 3 or to the seat cushion 5. In this way, when the rear seat occupant M throws out his/her legs as shown in FIG. 8, the skin material 8B is stretched forward from its normal contracted state, thereby concealing the legs in the vertical direction. Therefore,
According to this embodiment, there is no possibility that the lower edge of the skin material 8B is rolled up and the feet are exposed, and the skin material 8B is in close contact with the front surface of the seat back 3 even during normal use of the seat. The appearance of the seat and the comfort of the seat are not impaired.

In addition, as a modification of this embodiment, FIGS. 9 and 1
The items shown in Figure 0 are listed. In this seat 1C, the lower edge 8b of the skin material 8c is fixed to the front end of the seat cushion 5, so that substantially the entire seat back 3 and the seat cushion 5 are covered with the skin material 8c. In this embodiment as well, the feet can be cushioned in the same way, but the appearance of the seat is improved because almost the entire front surface of the seat is covered with the upholstery material.

In each of the above embodiments, if the skin material is attached to the seat bag or seat cushion with fasteners, it can be attached to and removed from the seat freely, and the cushioning effect of the skin material can be obtained only when necessary. I can do it.

FIGS. 11 to 13 show still other embodiments. In this seat 1D, the skin material 8D has bellows-shaped both sides 8c, 8c as shown in FIG. By attaching it across the seat cushion 5, the notch 4 is completely covered. According to this example,
As shown in FIG. 13, the legs of the rear seat occupant are
It is completely hidden by D and cannot be seen from the side. In this example, the use of an airtight material for the skin material 8D has the effect of blocking odors and the like. On the other hand, for rear seat passengers, it can be expected to have a foot warming effect in winter.

As explained above with various examples,
According to this invention, a skin material is provided on the front of the seat back to cover the notch formed in the front seat back, and the skin material hides the feet of the rear seat occupant who has thrown it out onto the front seat cushion. It does not cause any discomfort to the person sitting next to the front seat, and it does not cause any discomfort.Especially when this seat is installed on the passenger seat of a passenger car, it has the effect of ensuring a comfortable driving experience for the driver. be.
