Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an automobile seat device suitable for use in, for example, a one-box car.

(Prior Art) In recent years, many automobiles have been designed not only for mere passenger use but also for leisure use or commercial use. In other words, for example, when there are three rows of seats in the front, middle, and rear, as is often seen in one-box cars, in order to effectively use the rear cabin space for purposes other than passenger use, the three rows of seats occupy almost the entire surface. It is possible to make a so-called full flat sheet, or use the
As shown in the above publication, there is a seat which can be tilted forward using its lower front end as a fulcrum.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) As mentioned above, by changing the state of the sheet as appropriate,
If we push forward with optimizing the use of the vehicle interior depending on the purpose, it would be possible to make the seat itself portable outside the vehicle.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a seat device for an automobile, which allows the seat to be normally fixed in the vehicle interior and used for riding, but which allows the seat to be easily taken out of the vehicle when necessary. It is about providing.

(Means and effects for solving the problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the seat device is removably attached to a floor panel constituting the floor surface of a vehicle interior, a striker is fixed to the floor panel, and a lock is provided at the lower end of the seat to be engaged with the striker. A mechanism is provided, and a pair of left and right handles for carrying the seat are provided on both sides of the seat, and at least one of the pair of left and right handles is located in a storage position stored in the seat. The handle is freely displaceable between a use position protruding from a side surface of the seat, and the displaceable handle and the lock mechanism lock when the handle is displaced from the storage position to the use position. The structure is such that the striker is linked by a linking member such that the striker is released from engagement with the striker.

With this configuration, when the seat is used for general passenger use, it is sufficient to lock (fix) the seat to the striker on the floor panel using the locking mechanism. In order to take the seat out of the vehicle, the handle is operated to release the lock on the striker of the locking mechanism, and then the seat itself is carried out of the vehicle using the handle.

(Embodiments) Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings.

In Fig. 1, a car A, which is a one-box car type, has three rows of seats S, front, middle, and rear, on a floor panel 1 that constitutes the floor surface of the cabin.
1, S2, and S3. Of course, each seat S1, S2, S3 is composed of a seat cushion 2 and a reclinable seat back 3, respectively.

Among the three rows of seats S1 to S3 described above, in the embodiment, the middle and rear two rows of seats S2 and S3 can be removed from the floor panel 1 as appropriate. The removable sheets S2 and S3 will be explained below with reference to FIG.
Since all three sheets are the same, the description will focus only on sheet S2.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the sheet S2 is
The seat cushion 2 has a pair of left and right pedestals 4 integrated with both side ends of the seat frame (not shown), and this pedestal 4 has a base 5 and two front and rear legs extending downward from the base 5. 6, and such a pedestal 4 is constructed by joining a plurality of appropriately shaped plates.

A handle 7 is held at the top of the pedestal 4 so as to be slidable in the vehicle width direction. This handle 7
For example, it is a molded product made of plastic,
As shown in FIG. 6, it has a gripping part 7a and a pair of holding parts 7b extending in the front-rear direction from the inner end of the gripping part 7a in the vehicle width direction. It is fitted and held in a slide groove 8 provided in the base 5 of the pedestal 4 so as to be slidable in the vehicle width direction but not displaceable in the vertical direction. Such a handle 7 can take a storage position shown by a solid line in FIGS. 4 and 5 and a use position shown by a dashed line in FIGS. 4 and 5 depending on its sliding position. In this storage position, the handle 7
is retracted inward in the vehicle width direction from the side end surface of the seat cushion 2, and conversely, in the use position,
The seat cushion 2 is in a state in which it slightly protrudes outward from the side end surface in the vehicle width direction.

The floor panel 1 is formed with four recesses 9 at the front, rear, left and right sides corresponding to the number of the legs 6 (the two front and rear recesses on the right side are not shown), and the recesses 9 are arranged so as to straddle the recesses 9. A striker 10 extending in the vehicle width direction is fixed to the floor panel 1 with bolts 11. And on the bottom of each leg 6,
When the leg portion 6 is seated on the bottom surface of the concave portion 9, an engagement notch portion 6a is formed that tightly fits into the striker 10 from the front and rear directions to restrict movement in the front and rear direction. .

Each of the legs 6 corresponds to the striker 10.
are each provided with a locking mechanism R.
This lock mechanism R has a pin 12 extending in the vehicle width direction.
The locking claw 13 is rotatably attached to the leg portion 6 with a return spring 14, which is a spiral spring that biases the locking claw 13 in the locking direction, that is, in the clockwise direction in FIG. Rotation of the lock pawl 13 by the lock pawl 14 beyond a predetermined value is restricted by a stopper 15 protruding from the leg portion 6.

The lock claw 13 has a claw portion 13a at its lower end.
With the leg portion 6 seated on the bottom surface of the recess 9 as described above, the claw portion 13a engages with the striker 10, and the sheet S2
0, that is, it is locked to the floor panel 1. To explain this point in detail, the claw portion 1
3a has a lower end surface as an inclined guide surface 13b, and when the lock pawl 13 is in contact with the stopper 15, this inclined guide surface 13b closes the engagement notch 6a. From this state,
When the striker 10 is fitted into the engagement notch 6a and the seat S2 is slightly pressed downward so that it is seated on the leg 6 or the bottom of the recess 9, the striker 10 eventually comes into contact with the inclined guide surface 13b and is locked. The claw 13 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2, and finally,
The claw portion 13a of the lock claw 13 is rotated back clockwise by the return spring 14 and engaged with the striker 10 from below. As a result, the seat S2 is brought into a locked state in which its forward and backward movement and upward movement are restricted.

The handle 7 and the lock mechanism R described above are linked via a wire 16 as a linking member, and two wires 16 are provided for one handle 7 for the two lock mechanisms R, front and rear. . That is, a total of four lock mechanisms are provided, corresponding to the number of lock mechanisms R, on the left, right, front and rear. Each wire 16 consists of an inner cable 16a and an outer cable 16b, and the handle 7 and the lock claw 13 are connected via the inner cable 16a, and each end of the outer cable 16b is connected to the pedestal 4 in the vicinity of the connection part. is fixed. And a wire 16 like this
The linkage by the inner cable 16a is set so that when the handle 7 is in its use position, the lock pawl 13 is rotated counterclockwise in Figure 2, that is, the lock is released. . In addition,
As shown in FIG. 4, the handle 7 is normally urged toward the storage position by a tension spring 17.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, the sheet S2 is fixed to the floor panel 1 and from the state shown in FIGS.
To remove the seat S2, the handle 7 can be pulled out to the use position to release the lock by the locking mechanism R, and the seat S2 can then be carried out of the vehicle using the pulled out handle 7 as it is. Sheet S3
The removal is done in the same way. The seats S2 and S3 carried out of the vehicle are used as outdoor chairs at a campsite, for example. Also,
On the other hand, car A with seats S2 and S3 removed
This makes it possible to load large items and large amounts of items using the large space available.

In order to reattach the removed seats S2 and S3 to the automobile A, as is already clear from the above description, the seats S2 and S3 are attached to the floor panel 1 so that their legs 6 are seated on the bottom surface of the recess 9. When placed on the floor panel 1 and pressed, the sheets S2 and S3 are automatically locked to the floor panel 1.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above, the invention has the following effects:
Since handles are provided on both sides of the seat, the seat can be easily carried using the handles, and the seat can be unlocked from the floor panel in accordance with the operational displacement of the handle 7. Therefore, this lock release, which is a prerequisite for removing the seat, can be easily performed, and the work from removing the seat to taking it out of the vehicle can be easily performed.

In addition, the handle connected to the locking mechanism is in the stowed position when the seat is fixed to the vehicle body, so the handle does not get in the way and is useful for making effective use of the vehicle interior space. It becomes desirable.
