Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention is a device for preventing finger jamming in a vehicle seat, particularly for preventing finger jamming when the legs foldably provided at the bottom of the seat cushion are rotated in the upright direction. It relates to a device for preventing this.

Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, for example, in automobiles used for both cargo and passenger purposes, the first
As shown in the figure, a vehicle in which a foldable seat 2 is installed in a rear luggage compartment 1 is known. This foldable seat 2 is constructed by folding a seat bag 3 onto a seat cushion 4, and then rotating the seat cushion 4 toward the front seat 8 using the lower end of the front legs 5 as a fulcrum, as shown by the dashed line. , and rear leg 6
It has a structure in which the seat cushion 4 is folded inward along the lower surface of the seat cushion 4.

However, when trying to pull up the rear legs 6 to pull out the seat 2 from the folded state,
There was a risk that a finger would be caught between the leg 6 and the mounting bracket 7 that rotatably supported the leg 6, resulting in injury.

Purpose of the invention The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat that prevents the fingers from being pinched between the mounting bracket and the legs when the legs are pulled up. An object of the present invention is to provide a jamming prevention device.

Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the invention attaches a spacer made of an elastic material to the mounting bracket,
The spacer is integrally provided with an elastic piece for restricting finger insertion, which substantially covers the lower opening of the mounting bracket provided in the rotation range of the leg.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 2 and the following diagrams show an example of the present invention applied to the foldable seat shown in FIG. ,1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a leg body foldably attached to the mounting bracket 11 via a hinge pin 13. A spring mounting pin 14 is fixed to the back of the mounting bracket 11, and by providing a tension spring 15 between this pin 14 and the leg 12, the leg 12 can be moved to the upright position (dotted chain line in FIG. 3) and folded. It is designed so that it can be held in two positions: (indicated by the two-dot chain line in Figure 3).

16 is a spacer made of an elastic material such as soft vinyl chloride, rubber, or a thin metal plate, and this spacer 16 is attached to the hinge pin 1 inside the mounting bracket 11.
3, it is unrotatably attached. An elastic piece 16a for restricting finger insertion is integrally formed at the lower end of the spacer 16 in the opposite direction, and this elastic piece 16a is attached to a mounting bracket provided in the rotation range of the leg 12 as shown in FIG. 11 lower opening 11
It almost covers a.

In the above configuration, when the leg 12 is folded, the leg 12 and the elastic piece 16a are not in contact with each other, so the elastic piece 16a almost covers the opening 11a, and a finger may be accidentally inserted into the opening 11a. There is no risk of being exposed. When the legs 12 are rotated in the standing direction, the elastic pieces 16a are pushed open to both sides by the legs 12, allowing the legs 12 to be rotated to the standing position without resistance. Therefore, when the leg body 12 is pulled out in the standing direction, there is no risk of fingers being caught between the mounting bracket 11 and the leg body 12, and since the elastic piece 16a is easily bent, the leg body 12 can be moved smoothly. It does not impair rotation.

In the above embodiment, the spacer 16 is attached to the inside of the mounting bracket 11, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the spacer 16 may be attached to the outside of the mounting bracket 11.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the elastic piece of the spacer almost covers the lower opening of the mounting bracket when the legs are folded.
When the leg is pulled out, the fingers will not be accidentally inserted into the opening, and finger jamming can be prevented. Furthermore, since the elastic pieces are easily bent by the legs, they do not hinder the smooth rotation of the legs.
