- Such a seat back provided with a television monitor is described in Document JP 11-151986. That seat back is provided with a complex mechanism for moving the television monitor between a folded-away position and an in-use position in which the viewing screen is disposed facing an occupant sitting behind said seat back on a second row of seats of a vehicle. When the occupant wishes to view the screen of the television monitor, said occupant firstly brings the table into the deployed position, and then extracts the television monitor from the setback in the seat back by means of a displacement mechanism which comprises rails mounted to pivot relative to the seat back and on which the television monitor is also mounted to pivot. That displacement mechanism thus requires the television monitor to be pivoted about two different axes in order to be brought into its in-use position, which complicates extracting it from the setback provided in the seat back. Furthermore, since that displacement mechanism is relatively voluminous, it is essential to overdimension the setback so that it can receive both the displacement mechanism and the television monitor when said monitor is in the folded-away position.
- A particular object of the invention is to mitigate those drawbacks by proposing a vehicle seat back that enables the television monitor to be moved simply and effectively into the in-use position.
- To this end, according to the invention, in a vehicle seat back of the type in question, the television monitor is mounted to pivot about an axis that is fixed relative to the seat back through an angular range of not less than 180° between firstly a folded-away position in which said monitor is received in the setback, the viewing screen being disposed facing the rear face of said seat back, and secondly an in-use position in which the viewing screen is designed to face a user disposed facing said rear face of the seat back.
- In preferred embodiments of the invention, it is optionally possible to use one or more of the following provisions:
- the angular range through which the table pivots between the closed position and the deployed position is not less than 180°;
- the seat back is provided with angular indexing means adapted to enable the table to be held in predetermined angular positions relative to the closed position;
- the predetermined angular positions of the table relative to the closed position are substantially equal to 15°, 90°, 135°, and 180°;
- the television monitor is pivotally mounted directly on a module mounted in fixed manner in the setback provided in the rear face of the seat back, the module being provided with a recess serving to receive the television monitor when it is in the folded-away position;
- the module is also equipped with a camera adapted to film a zone facing the rear face of the seat back, the camera being disposed so that the field of vision is not obstructed by the television monitor when said monitor is in the folded-away position and is not obstructed by the monitor when it is in the in-use position;
- the module is provided with lighting means for lighting a zone facing the rear face of the seat back;
- the table is pivotally mounted on a bottom portion of the module; and
- said seat back extends between a bottom end and a top end, and, when in the in-use position, the television monitor extends beyond the top end of the seat back.
- In addition, the invention also provides a motor vehicle seat comprising a seat proper pivotally receiving a seat back as defined above.
- Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description of an embodiment thereof, given by way of non-limiting example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- In the drawings:
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side elevation view partially in section showing a vehicle seat equipped with a seat back of the invention;
- FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the vehicle seat shown in FIG. 1, when the table is in the closed position;
- FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of the vehicle seat when the table is in the deployed position, and when the television monitor is in the folded-away position;
- FIG. 4 is a rear perspective view of the vehicle seat when the table is in the deployed position and the television monitor is in the in-use position; and
- FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic side view of the vehicle seat when the seat back is in folded-forwards position, the television monitor being in the in-use position and the table being in the deployed position.
- In the various figures, like references designate elements that are identical or similar.
- FIG. 1 shows a front seat1 of a motor vehicle, which seat comprises a seat proper 2 extending between a
front end 21 and arear end 22, and aseat back 3 mounted to pivot on therear end 22 of the seat proper 2. Theseat back 3 extends substantially vertically between abottom end 31 and atop end 32. - The
seat back 3 also has afront face 33 which co-operates with the seat proper 2 to define a space for receiving the occupant of the front seat, and arear face 34 having a top portion which receives atelevision monitor 4 and a pivotally mounted table 5. - In the example shown in FIGS.1 to 4, the top portion of the
rear face 34 has asetback 35 defined by anend wall 35 a, abottom edge 35 b and twoside edges 35 c which extend to thetop end 32 of theseat back 3. Thesetback 35 is adapted to receive amodule 36 on which thetelevision monitor 4 and the table 5 are pivotally mounted directly. Themodule 36, which, for example, can be made of a plastics material, has outside shapes that are complementary to the shapes of thesetback 35 formed in the top portion of therear face 34 of theseat back 3. Themodule 36 is fixed in thesetback 35, e.g. by means of fixing members (not shown) which can be constituted by catch members serving, for example, to be clipped into notches provided in theend wall 35 a of thesetback 35 of theseat back 3. - The table5 is pivotally mounted directly on the bottom portion of the
module 36. The table 5 can, in particular, be mounted to pivot between a closed position, as shown in FIG. 2, and in which it covers themodule 36 entirely, and a deployed position making it possible for a user to have access to thetelevision monitor 4. In its deployed position, the table 5 can form an angle of about 90° relative to themodule 36, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4. However, the table 5 can also be pivoted beyond this position to form an angle of 135° relative to themodule 36 so as to serve as a support for reading or writing for the user of the rear bench seat, or else an angle of 180° so that said table is disposed substantially parallel to therear face 34 of theseat back 3. In addition, the table 5 can also be pivoted through an angle of about 15° relative to its closed position so as to enable its free end to form a coat hook on which to hang clothes. Advantageously, the table 5 can also be pivotally mounted on themodule 36 with angular indexing means enabling in particular said table 5 to take up predetermined angular positions, e.g. at 15°, 90°, 135°, or 180° relative to its closed position. - The
television monitor 4 is pivotally mounted on the top potion of themodule 36 to pivot between a folded-away position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and an in-use position shown in FIGS. 4. The television monitor has anuninterrupted face 4 a that forms the rear face of the monitor and a viewingface 4 b which includes aviewing screen 41. - More precisely, the
television monitor 4 is pivotally mounted on themodule 36 by means of twosupport arms 6, each of which extends between a first end fixed to the television monitor and a second end mounted to pivot about an axis X (FIG. 1) which is horizontal and fixed relative to themodule 36 and thus relative toback 3 of the seat. The second ends of thearms 6 are received directly and snugly innotches 36 a provided directly in the top portion of themodule 36 so as to hold the television monitor in a position chosen by the user. Thus, the television monitor can pivot firstly between a folded-away position in which the television monitor is housed in arecess 36 b provided directly in themodule 36, theviewing screen 41 then being disposed facing therecess 36 b and thus facing therear face 34 of theback 3, and secondly an in-use position in which the television monitor pivots through an angular range of not less than 180° so that saidviewing screen 41 is disposed facing away from therear face 34 of the seat back 3, the occupant sitting behind the seat 1 thus being able to view theviewing screen 41. In said in-use position, thetelevision monitor 4 advantageously extends beyond thetop end 32 of theseat back 3, thereby offering the user comfortable viewing. Therecess 36 b can also be provided with a well 36 c for removably receiving a remote control box for remotely controlling thetelevision monitor 4. - The
television monitor 4 can also be connected to anelectronic device 7 making it possible to display information such as a still or motion video image, text, or menus, or the like on saidviewing screen 41. In particular, the electronic device can comprise a reader for reading a digital disk for storing video and/or audio information, which reader is disposed directly, for example, under the seat proper 2 of the seat 1. - In which case, respective wires can connect the
electronic device 7 to thetelevision monitor 4, which wires then pass via thesupport arms 6 that connect thetelevision monitor 4 to theseat back 3. Thetop end 32 of theseat back 3 can also be provided with a head rest disposed optionally so as to limit the extent to which thetelevision monitor 4 can pivot into its in-use position in which it forms at least an angle of 180° relative to themodule 36. In addition, themodule 36 can also be equipped with acamera 8, e.g. disposed between the twosupport arms 6 which support thetelevision monitor 4, whichcamera 8 is adapted to film the occupant in the zone disposed facing therear face 34 of theseat back 3. Advantageously, saidcamera 8 is in no way obstructed by thetelevision monitor 4 when said monitor is in its folded-away position as shown in FIG. 3 or when the monitor is in its in-use position as shown in FIG. 4. Thecamera 8 can, in particular, be connected to a viewing screen disposed on the dashboard of the motor vehicle so that, for example, the driver can see what the user of theviewing screen 41 is doing. - The
camera 8 can also be connected to the television monitor so that theviewing screen 41 acts as a mirror for the user, with all the appropriate adjustments such as magnification or brightness adjustments. - In addition, the
module 36 can also be provided with lighting means 9, in particular when the table 5 is used as a work support and in particular a support for reading or writing. - In addition, as can be seen in FIG. 4, when the
television monitor 4 is in the in-use position, the operator can fold the table 5 away into its closed position so that is substantially flush with therear face 34 of theseat back 3, thereby offering optimum comfort for the user of saidtelevision monitor 4. - In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, it is also possible to fold the seat back2 forwards so that its
front face 33 is disposed substantially parallel to and against the top face of the seat proper 2, it then being possible for an operator to deploy the table 4 so that it forms an angle of at least 180° relative to themodule 36, the operator then merely having to extract thetelevision monitor 4 from itsrecess 36 b by pivoting it through an angle substantially equal to 90° in order for it to be possible to view theviewing screen 41 of thetelevision monitor 4. - In a variant embodiment (not shown in FIGS.1 to 4), the
television monitor 4 can also be pivotally mounted directly on therear face 34 of theseat back 3 which, for this purpose, is provided with asetback 35 of shape substantially complementary to the shape of the television monitor. Similarly, if themodule 36 is omitted, the table 5 can be pivotally mounted directly on saidrear face 34 of theseat back 3.
