DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a trim cover protector for use in a vehicle seat on which a child seat can be mounted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, child seats have tended to adopt a structure in which a lock device protrudes from a lower end of the back and is attached to a seat cushion of an automobile seat with the lock device. The vehicle also opens a pair of anchorage openings at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction in a rear portion of the seat cushion corresponding to the locking device on the rear surface of the seat cushion. The child seat anchorage protrudes from the opening to the seating surface, and the locking device engages the child seat anchorage to enable attachment of the child seat to the seat cushion. Thus, if the locking device is forcibly inserted into the gap between the seat cushion and the seat back and engages with the child seat anchorage, the trim cover around the anchorage opening. However, there is a fear that the locking device may be caught by the locking device and the workability may be deteriorated.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a child seat with an opening at a rear portion of a seating surface of a seat cushion.
In providing a trim cover protector in which a trim cover around an anchorage opening that protrudes the anchorage is protected from a child seat locking device.
