Description

Locomotive, its seat cushion and pivoting device

The present invention relates to a pivoting device, and more particularly to a pivoting device for pivoting a seat cushion and a vehicle body.

Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a general locomotive 1 or other vehicle having a cushion 11 covering the storage compartment 121 requires the seat cushion 11 to be rotated relative to the vehicle body 12 and opened to expose the storage compartment 121 so that the rider can take it. Items placed in the storage compartment 121. Therefore, the general locomotive 1 requires the pivoting device 2 to pivot the seat cushion 11 and the vehicle body 12.

Referring to FIG. 1B, a conventional pivoting device 2 is disposed at the front end of the storage compartment 121 and the seat cushion 11, and pivotally connects the storage compartment 121 and the seat cushion 11. Thereby, the rider can pivot the seat cushion 11 upward and forward with respect to the storage box 121 with the pivoting device 2 disposed at the front end of the storage compartment 121 and the seat cushion 11 to open the seat cushion 11.

Please refer to FIG. 1C for the detailed structure of the conventional pivoting device 2. The pivoting device 2 includes a U-shaped member 21, two ribs 22, a pivot 23 and a plurality of screws 24. The U-shaped member 21 is fixed to the front end of the bottom of the seat cushion 11 by screws 24, and has two arm portions 211 and two through holes 212 respectively formed on the two arm portions 211. The two ribs 22 are integrally formed at the front end of the glove box 121 corresponding to the two arm portions 211 of the U-shaped member 21, and extend forward. The pivot shaft 23 passes through the two through holes 212 of the arm portion 211 of the U-shaped member 21 and the through holes on the two rib portions 22 at the front end of the glove box 12 to pivot the U-shaped member 21 and the rib portion 22. Thereby, the pivoting device 2 is adapted to pivotally connect the seat cushion 11 and the storage box 121 so that the seat cushion 11 can be opposite to the storage The box 121 is rotated upward and forward. When the locomotive 1 uses the conventional pivoting device 2, a schematic view of the opening angle of the seat cushion 11 is shown in Fig. 1D.

However, in a crowded locomotive parking lot, the left and right distances of the locomotive 1 are often quite close, and even the handle 13 of the locomotive 1 (see Fig. 1A) is often inserted into the area above the seat cushion 11 of the other locomotive 1. In this case, the seat cushion 11 and the storage box 121 are pivotally connected by the pivoting device 2 so that the seat cushion 11 can be rotated upward and moved apart relative to the storage box 121, and is easily grasped by the handle 13 of the other locomotive 1 Or the other part is obstructed, and the seat cushion 11 cannot be smoothly opened, so that the rider does not have enough space to take the items placed in the storage box 121.
