Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a seat installed inside a vehicle such as an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a configuration has been provided in which, for example, to change the height of the seat portion of the seat, the entire seat is moved up and down. Alternatively, a configuration is also provided in which the child seat is placed on the seat as a separate member from the seat, such as a child seat.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the configuration in which the entire seat is moved up and down requires a complicated mechanism, leading to increased costs.
Separate parts such as child seats require a storage space when not in use, and also require a mechanism for placing and fixing them on the seat.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention, as a means to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, pivots one corner of a bracket 3 having a longitudinal groove 3A on the upper edges of both sides or the upper edge of one side of the seat portion 2 of the seat 1. A configuration is provided in which a rotating shaft 5B disposed on a part of the cushion member 5 is rotatably fitted into the groove 3A.

[Effect]

Rotate the bracket to the outside of the seat seat,
When the cushion member is held vertically and the rotation axis of the cushion member is positioned at the lower end of the vertical groove of the bracket,
The cushion member stands up on the side of the seat and functions as an armrest.

When the cushion member is rotated downward by 180 degrees in the above-mentioned state of the bracket, and the rotation axis of the cushion member is positioned at the upper end of the vertical groove of the bracket, the cushion member becomes a part of the seat, and the width of the seat becomes smaller. It is expanded substantially by the thickness of the cushion member.

When the bracket is rotated 180 degrees to the upper surface of the seat and the cushion member is stacked on the upper surface of the seat, the seat becomes higher by the thickness of the cushion member.

When the cushion member is rotated upward by 90° in the above-mentioned state of the bracket, it functions as an armrest that is one step higher than the armrest.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention allows the cushion member attached to the seat portion to be used to adjust the height of the seat portion.
Moreover, the cushion member can be used as an armrest or as a part of the seat, and the structure is extremely simple and does not increase costs.

〔Example〕

One embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. A bracket 3 is pivotally mounted on the side edge of a seat portion 2 of a seat 1 via a hinge 4. A vertical groove 3A is formed in the bracket 3. Reference numeral 5 designates a cushion member, which has a notch 5A formed in its side edge, and a rotary shaft 5B extending through the notch 5A is rotatably fitted into the vertical groove 3A of the bracket 3.

In the above configuration, the bracket 3 is rotated to the outside of the seat portion 2, the cushion member 5 is rotated via the rotating shaft 5B to be vertical, and the rotating shaft 5B is positioned at the lower end of the vertical groove 3A of the bracket 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the cushion member 5 stands up on the side of the seat 2 and functions as an armrest. With the bracket 3 as it is, the cushion member 5 is rotated downward by 180° to hang down, and the rotation axis 5B is positioned at the upper end of the vertical groove 3A of the bracket 3, so that the cushion member 5 is moved as shown in FIG. As a part of the seat part 2, the width of the seat part 2 is expanded by the thickness of the cushion member 5.

Next, when the bracket 3 is rotated 180 degrees to the upper surface of the seat 2 and the cushion member 5 is stacked on the upper surface of the seat 2, the seat 2 becomes higher by the thickness of the cushion member 5, as shown in FIG. Further, when the cushion member 5 is rotated upward by 90° while the bracket 3 remains as it is, it functions as an armrest that is one step higher than the armrest shown in FIG.

It goes without saying that the present invention may be applied not only to one side edge of the sheet but also to both side edges.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Figures 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention, with Figure 1 being a perspective view of the installation part, Figure 2 being a partially cutaway front view when used as an armless device,
Figure 3 is a partially cutaway front view when the width of the seat is expanded, Figure 4 is a partially cutaway front view when the seat is raised, and Figure 5 is when it is used as another armrest. FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view. In the figure, 1... Seat, 2... Seat portion, 3... Bracket, 3A... Vertical groove, 5... Cushion member,
