Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a transverse seating device installed in a pan-type automobile.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The scope of use of pan-shaped automobiles is rapidly expanding, with one vehicle recently being used for baggage delivery, passenger transportation, and various recreational purposes.

Conventional pan-type vehicles generally have a rear seat behind the driver's seat that faces forward in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and when loading luggage into the rear passenger compartment, the rear seat must be folded forward. This forms the cargo space.

However, even if the rear seats are folded down, the thickness of the seat cushions and seat backs will inevitably become useless space, and especially if there are multiple rear seats, it will not be possible to secure enough cargo space in the front and rear directions. Ta.

For this reason, cargo with large longitudinal dimensions could not be loaded onto this type of pan-shaped vehicle, and a vehicle specifically designed for cargo had to be used.

In addition, some seat devices were installed sideways, and when loading luggage, the cushion was raised to overlap with the seat back to expand the cargo space; however, such devices were used for people to sit on. Because the member that supports the cushion horizontally is fixed at the required height from the floor, even if the cushion is erected, the space occupied by the support member cannot be used as cargo space. .

In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a foldable seat device that can secure sufficient cargo space in the rear passenger compartment.

That is, the seat device according to the present invention includes a cushion and a seat back, and is placed horizontally in the rear passenger compartment of a pan-type automobile, with the seat back erected near the side wall of the rear passenger compartment and the cushion placed almost horizontally. position, move the cushion forward from the seated position (toward the side wall opposite to the side wall above, based on the rear passenger compartment), and move the seat back horizontally in almost the same plane as the cushion. The seat device is capable of taking a horizontal position in which the cushion and the seat back are erected almost vertically near the side wall of the rear passenger compartment, and a retracted position in which the cushion and the seat back are erected almost vertically near the side wall of the rear passenger compartment. a rear leg body 31 protruding from the rear leg body 31; a support member 42.60 pivotally attached to the upper end of the rear leg body 31;
The support member has a front leg 35 pivotally connected to the front end thereof and an auxiliary leg 43.62 pivotally connected to the cushion, so that in the horizontal and seated positions, the support member is substantially horizontal and the front leg is free. The support member is held substantially horizontally by locking the end on the floor, and the cushion in the seated position is placed on the support member, and at least the rear end of the cushion and the seat back in the horizontal position are placed on the support member, In the horizontal position, the front part of the cushion extending from the front end of the support member supports the free end of the auxiliary leg by locking it on the floor, and in the retracted position, the front part of the cushion extends from the front end of the support member. Each seat is characterized by being in a substantially vertical standing position together with the cushion and seat back.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire cabin of a pan-type automobile equipped with the seat device of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 11.22 is the front door, 13
14 represents the driver's seat, 14 represents the passenger seat, 15 represents the rear door, and 16 represents the back door.

According to the invention, the rear seat 21 consisting of a cushion 23 and a seat back 25 is arranged laterally.

FIGS. 2 and 3 each show an embodiment of the seat posture changing mechanism according to the present invention.

In each embodiment, the seat is convertible into a sitting position A, a horizontal position B, and a stowed position C, and in each figure, the cushion and seat back are denoted by A, B, and C to distinguish the positions. In addition, the seating position A is shown by a solid line, the horizontal position B is shown by a dashed line, and the retracted position C is shown by a broken line.

In the second embodiment, two pivot points 50 and 51 are provided at the upper part of the rear leg body 31 fixed to the floor surface 17, and one end of the support member 42 that supports the cushion 23 is attached to the lower support point 50. The seat back 25 is pivoted to the upper fulcrum 5.
It is pivoted to 1.

A front leg 35 is pivotally attached to the other end of the support member 42, and in position A, the support member 42 is horizontal and the free end of the front leg 35 is fixed to the floor surface 17 using a locking bracket 39.
The cushion 23 is horizontally supported.

Further, the seat back 25 is engaged and held by a locking bracket 37 attached to the side wall surface 18 near its upper end.

In this device, in order to convert the seat from position A to position B, the cushion 23 is reversed in the D1 direction about the fulcrum 52, and the seat back 25 is moved in the D1 direction about the fulcrum 51.
Rotate in the ZJ direction.

As a result, the back surface of the cushion 23 and the back surface of the seat back 25 both become upper surfaces, and both form substantially the same plane to provide a bed for the passenger.

At that time, the auxiliary leg 4 attached to the side of the cushion 23
3 engages with a locking bracket 40 on the floor to support the load on the cushion.

The support member 42 remains stationary at position A, and the seat back 2
5 and supports the load with the auxiliary legs 35.

To convert the seat from position A to position C, use cushion 2
5, the support member 42 is rotated in the E direction about the fulcrum 50 to stand up vertically.

At this time, the auxiliary legs 35 also stand up in conjunction with each other. As a result, the cushion and seat back are integrally stored near the side wall surface.

Next, the seat apparatus according to the embodiment of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the seat apparatus in position A.

In this embodiment, the support member 42 pivotally connected to the rear leg body 31 supports the cushion 23 in a slidable manner in the front and rear directions, and the seat back 25 is attached to the cushion via a reclining mechanism 55. connected.

An auxiliary leg 62 is pivotally attached to the front end of the cushion 23, and its free end is removably engaged with a fixing bracket 64 on the floor 17.

In this device, in order to convert the seat from position A to position B, the cushion 23 is first slid in the D1 direction, and the free end of the auxiliary leg 62 is removably locked with the locking bracket 65 on the floor. .

At this time, the seat back 25 also comes to the F position.

Next, the seat back 25 is reclined in the D2 direction to make it horizontal.

As a result, both the cushion and the seat back form substantially the same plane with their surfaces facing upward.

To convert the seat from position A to position C, first tilt the seat back 25 in the E1 direction so that it is stacked on the cushion 23, and then move the cushion and seat back together in the E21J direction around the fulcrum 30. Rotate it to stand up vertically.

As a result, the cushion and seat back are stored as one near the side wall surface.

As explained in detail above, according to the transverse seating device of the present invention, the rear seat can be folded and stored against the side wall, so that sufficient longitudinal cargo space is secured in the rear passenger compartment. This structure is particularly advantageous for loading long items.

In particular, in the retracted position, the support member that supports the cushion is also retracted together with the cushion, so a much larger cargo space can be obtained than in the conventional case.
