Preferably, the leg support is pivotally connected to the seat cushion. With this arrangement, the stowing operation of the leg support becomes simple.

Preferably, the leg support can also be turned or stretched in the upturned position.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the leg support includes a main body portion and an extension portion connected thereto, the extension portion can extend from the main body portion and extend toward the seat cushion. Preferably, the extension portion can be folded inside the main body portion. With this arrangement, the volume of the leg support can be made smaller, saving the use space in the vehicle compartment.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the leg support includes a main body portion and a turning portion connected thereto, the turning portion can be bent toward the seat cushion relative to the main body portion.

According to an embodiment of the invention, in the upturned position, the body portion extends substantially perpendicular to the seat cushion.

According to an embodiment of the invention, in the upturned position, the overturned portion or the extended portion can extend substantially parallel to the seat cushion.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the upturned position, the turning portion or the extending portion can be substantially 90 degrees relative to the main body portion.

The leg support of the present invention can not only support the legs of passengers, but also protect the articles placed on the seat cushion of the vehicle seat and prevent the articles from slipping and falling. Moreover, the mechanism that provides the retention function is integrated into the leg support of the vehicle seat, without affecting the original structural design of the vehicle seat. Preferably, the leg support can be hidden when stowed, and can be made smaller in size, saving space in the vehicle compartment. In addition, it is easy for the driver to easily retract and open the leg support of the front passenger seat during driving, in order to pick up and place items on the seat cushion.

detailed description.

The vehicle seat according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle seat 100 includes a seat back 110, a seat cushion 120 and a leg support 130. The seat back 110 is connected to the seat cushion 120 and the leg support 130 is pivotally connected to the seat cushion. In addition, the vehicle seat 100 may further include a frame to support the seat back 110 and the seat cushion 120.

The leg support 130 can be moved between the stowed position and the use position (not shown) shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, in the stowed position, the leg support 130 is retracted under the seat cushion 120. The leg support 130 can also be moved to the upturned position shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, in the upturned position, the leg support is located above the seat cushion 120 and extends. In particular, the leg support 130 includes a main body 131 and an extension 132 connected thereto. In the stowed position and the use position, the extension portion is folded in the body portion, while in the upturned position, the body portion 131 is substantially perpendicular to the seat cushion 120, and the extension portion 132 extends from the body portion 131 and unfolds.

In FIG. 2, the extending portion 132 is approximately 90 ° toward the seat cushion 120 relative to the main body portion 131, and thus is substantially parallel to the seat cushion 120. In this way, a storage space is defined between the seat cushion 120, the main body portion 131, and the extension portion 132, so as to place items. The angle formed by the stretched portion 132 relative to the main body portion 131 toward the seat cushion 120 enables the stretched portion 132 to bear against the article placed on the seat cushion 120, thereby protecting the article and preventing it from falling.

The leg support 130 can also be moved between the stowed position and the upturned position by means of maneuvering.

Instead of the extendable leg support 130 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the leg support is reversible, which can be turned in the upturned position. The leg support includes a body portion and a flip portion connected thereto, the flip portion can be bent toward the seat cushion with respect to the body portion, so that the flip portion can abut against the article placed on the seat cushion, thereby protecting the article and preventing Its drop function.

Through the above description of the disclosed embodiments, those skilled in the art can implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to the embodiments will also be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. For example, in the embodiment, the body portion of the leg support and the flip or extension form approximately 90 degrees from each other, but other angles are also possible, as long as the flip or extension can abut on the seat cushion article. In addition, the connection between the leg support and the seat cushion may not be a pivotable connection, but may be other ways. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein, but covers the widest scope consistent with the principles disclosed herein.
