Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a safe mounting structure for a catch that can lock a lock pin protruding from a foldable rear seat bag.

In the case of a reclining type seat back in which the inclination angle of the rear seat back can be changed, or a folding seat back in which the rear seat seat back can be folded down onto the seat cushion, the seat back is adjusted to a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the vehicle body. A locking device is required to keep it in place. A typical locking device has a locking pin protruding from the side of the seatback that can be moved up and down, which can be engaged with the engagement groove of a catch fixed on the side wall of the vehicle body such as the rear quarter trim, and installed at the upper end of the seatback. The operating knob is operated to move a lock pin to change the inclination angle of the seat bag, whose lower end is pivotally attached to the vehicle body, or to fold it down onto the seat cushion.

However, as shown in FIG. 1, which shows an example of a conventional catch mounting structure, the catch 2 in which a plurality of locking grooves 1 for reclining are formed protrudes in front of the rear quarter trim 3. ing. Therefore, when the seat bag is folded down onto the seat cushion, the catch 2 is exposed inside the vehicle interior, which is undesirable as it gives the occupant a sense of danger. or,
There is a risk that the head form of the seat back will come into contact with this catch 2 protruding from the rear quarter trim 3, which poses a safety problem.

From this point of view, the present invention aims to provide a safe mounting structure for the catch.

The seatback catch mounting structure of the present invention that achieves this objective is constructed by forming a notch in the vehicle body that is recessed from the inner wall surface of the vehicle interior and into which a lock pin is inserted, and storing and fixing the catch within this notch. It is characterized by the fact that

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the seat back catch mounting structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 showing its appearance and FIG. 3 showing its sectional structure. A notch recess 7 is formed in the rear quarter trim 4 to guide the introduction of a lock pin 6 protruding from the seat back 5, and is recessed from the passenger compartment side surface of the rear quarter trim 4. A catch 9, which has a plurality of locking grooves 8 for reclining, is housed and fixed to a vehicle body panel (not shown) by fixing means such as bolts 10. In this embodiment, the notch 7 is formed in the rear quarter trim 4, but it may have any shape as long as it is a decorative material (interior material) that forms the interior wall of the vehicle. Further, it is sufficient that there is at least one locking groove 8 formed in the catch 9.

Therefore, the area around the cutout recess 7 of the rear quarter trim 4 functions as a protector for the catch 9, and the catch 9 is embedded inside the rear quarter rim 4 that forms the interior wall of the vehicle.
The sense of danger caused by the catch 9 can be eliminated even when the seat bag 5 is kept lying down on a seat cushion (not shown). Furthermore, there is no risk that the head form of the seat bag 5 will come into contact with the catch 9, so the structure is highly safe.
