Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a vehicle seat suitable as a rear seat of a one-box car, a station wagon, or the like.

(Prior Art) An example of a conventional vehicle seat of this type is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, 01 is a front seat and 02 is a rear seat, which includes a seat cushion 03, a seat back 04, front legs 05, and rear legs 06. 07 is a floor, and 08 is a recess provided on the floor 07.

A lower end of a seat back 04 is pivotally attached to a rear end of the seat cushion 03 about a shaft 09 extending in a vehicle width direction so that the seat back can be locked at an arbitrary angle. The lower end of the front leg 05 fixed to the lower surface of the front end of the seat cushion 03 and extending downward is pivotally attached to the bracket 011 fixed to the rear wall 010 of the recess 08 so as to be rotatable around a shaft 012 extending in the vehicle width direction. , Can be locked at a predetermined angle. Further, the rear leg 06 is pivotally attached to a bracket 013 provided on the lower surface of the rear end of the seat seat 03 so as to be rotatable around a shaft 014 extending in the vehicle width direction, and can be locked at a predetermined angle.

When the passenger sits in the rear seat 02, the state shown in FIG. 5 is occupied. When luggage is loaded behind the rear seat 02, as shown in FIG.
Folds by pivoting around, then front legs
The front part of the seat cushion 03 and the seat back 04 is housed in the recess 08 by rotating the 05 around the shaft 012. Then, the rear leg 06 is rotated around the axis 014 and folded to be attached to the lower surface of the seat cushion 03. In addition, the panel 015 covers the recess 08 behind the seat cushion 03 to cover the floor 07.
And the same.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned conventional vehicle seat, this cannot be completely stored in the recess 08, and the panel 015 is installed to use the upper portion of the recess 08 as a flat floor. There was a problem that I had to do.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat that can be used not only above the recess formed in the front of the seat but also inside the recess as a loading space.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat capable of easily and smoothly carrying out a seat storage operation and a seat withdrawal operation.

Another purpose is to prevent the stays and brackets from being exposed at the feet of the occupants when the seat is in a seated state, improving the view inside the passenger compartment and at the same time hindering the passengers getting on and off. The purpose is to provide a vehicle seat that is not used.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the gist of the present invention is to provide a seat back with a pivot axis in the vehicle width direction at the rear end of the seat cushion. A vehicle seat in which a lower end of the seat is rotatably pivoted, a floor having a recess formed in front of the seat, a vehicle body side surface extending downward from both end portions in the vehicle width direction of the floor, and a vehicle body side surface. A gap formed between the door and the front end is pivotally attached to the front side of the vehicle body with the vehicle width direction as a rotation axis, and the rear end is pivotally attached to the front end of the seat cushion with the vehicle width direction as a rotation axis. A stay having a substantially L-shape that is worn and has a horizontal portion that is stored in the gap existing below the recess when lying down and a rising portion that rises along the rear wall in the recess when lying down. Vehicle sea that is characterized by There is

(Operation) Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the seat back is folded by rotating about the axis of the lower end thereof, and then the seat cushion is rotated about the axis of the front end thereof. Also, the seat back is housed in the recess, and the lower surface of the seat cushion is continuous with and flush with the floor.

The seat cushion, the seat back, and the stay are stored in a state of standing upright in the front portion of the recess by rotating the stay around its base end axis.

When the stay falls, its horizontal portion is stored in the gap, and its rising portion rises along the rear wall in the recess.

(Embodiment) One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.

1 to 4, 1 is a front seat, 2 is a rear seat,
It has a seat cushion 3 and a seat back 4. 5
Is on the floor, 6 is on the floor 5 so that it is located in front of the rear seats 2.
It is a recess formed in.

At the rear end of the seat cushion 3, a lower end of a seat back 4 is pivotally mounted around a shaft 7 extending in the vehicle width direction so that it can be locked at an arbitrary angle. The front end of the seat cushion 3 is rotatably attached to the upper end of the rising portion 8a of the substantially L-shaped stay 8 about a shaft 9 extending in the vehicle width direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the horizontal portion 8b of the stay 8 is located on the step 10 formed below the recess 6 and extends downward from the inner surface of the door 11 and both ends of the floor 5 in the vehicle width direction. It is arranged in a gap 13 formed between the vehicle body 12 and its base end so as to be rotatable around a shaft 14 extending in the vehicle width direction.
It is pivotally attached to the front of 12 and can be locked at a predetermined angle.

When an occupant is seated in the rear seat 2, as shown in FIG. 1, the stay 8 has its horizontal portion 8b laid back horizontally and stored in the gap 13, and the rising portion thereof rises. 8a occupies a state where it rises almost vertically along the rear wall in the recess 6, the shaft 9 is located above the rear end of the recess 6, and the seat back 4
Is locked with respect to the seat cushion 3 at a predetermined inclination angle.

When the rear seat 2 is stored, as shown in FIG. 3, the seat back 4 is rotated forward about the shaft 7 to be folded, and then the seat cushion 3 is rotated forward about the shaft 9 by about 180 °.
° Rotate. Then, the lower surface of the seat cushion 3 is continuous with and flush with the floor 5. In this state, not only the appearance is improved, but also the luggage can be placed on the lower surface of the seat cushion 3, and the luggage can be taken in and out easily.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, when the stay 8 is rotated forward about the shaft 14 by about 90 °, the stay 8, the seat cushion 3 and the seat back 4 are located in the front portion of the recess 6 in the front seat 1.
Stand up along the seat back. In this state, the recess 6 at the rear of the seat back 4 can be used for placing a tall luggage or the like. Further, unlike the conventional one shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, since no bracket or the like projects from the rear wall of the recess, the luggage can be easily stored in the recess 6.

(Effect of the Invention) When the seat back is rotated around the lower end axis to be folded and then the seat cushion is rotated around the front end axis, the seat cushion and the seat back are housed in the recesses, and the seat cushion is retracted. The bottom surface is continuous with and flush with the floor. Therefore, not only the appearance in the passenger compartment is improved, but also the luggage can be placed on the lower surface of the seat back and the luggage can be easily taken in and out.

Further, since the seat cushion, the seat back, and the stay are stored in a state of standing up in the front part of the recess by rotating the stay around the axis of the base end, a tall luggage is stored in the recess behind the seat back. Etc. can be loaded.

When the seat is seated, the horizontal part of this stay is stored in the gap and the rising part of this stay stands up along the rear wall of the recess, so the feet of the occupant seated on the seat are refreshed. At the same time, the passenger does not trip on the horizontal part of the stay when getting on and off.

In addition, a series of operations for operating the seat from the seated state to the inverted storage state or vice versa can be performed easily and smoothly.
