DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drawing shows a case in which the present invention is applied to an automobile seat provided in a third row, in which a seat 1 including a seat cushion 1a and a seat back 1b is directed toward a seating surface of the seat cushion 1a. The folded seat is stored in the storage recess 2 formed in the vehicle body floor 20 at the rear of the seat by being turned over by the link member 10 connecting the rear portion of the seat cushion 1a and the vehicle body floor 20 in the folded state. Although it is made possible, in the present invention,
A recess 3 is formed in the vehicle body floor 20 following the front wall 2 a of the storage recess 2, while the seat 1 and the vehicle body floor 2 are formed.
The link member 10 is connected to the rear of the seat cushion 1a at one end and the other end is connected to the recessed stepped portion 3. Such a configuration is a feature of the present invention. There is. With such a configuration, as described later, in a state where the sheet 1 is stored in the storage recess 2, the link member 10 and the like are connected to the step portion 3.
Therefore, there is no projection on the vehicle body floor 20 and a flat luggage compartment is formed to allow stable loading of luggage. Excellent appearance quality can be ensured.

The recess 3 is intended to completely house the link member 10 and the like, one end of which is connected to the rear portion of the seat cushion 1a, and to conceal it from the vehicle body floor 20. As shown in the figure, the recessed portion 3 is formed in a vertically elongated groove shape following the front wall 2a of the storage recess 2 formed on the vehicle body floor 20, and the depth of the recessed step 3 conceals the link member 10 and the like. It has a sufficient depth to be used. The other end of the link member 10 is connected to the recessed step 3 via a hinge 10a, and the seat 1 is turned around with the hinge 10b as a base point.

The link member 10 is provided such that the back surface of the seat cushion 1a is substantially flush with the vehicle body floor 20 when the seat 1 is stored.
A flat and vast luggage space can be formed on the vehicle body floor 20. In particular, when the seat 1 is stored, a gap is generated on the head side of the seat back 1b. Therefore, the seat 1 is turned down toward the seat surface of the seat cushion 1a behind the bottom of the storage recess 2. When the superposed sheet is inverted and stored inside the storage recess 2, the superposed sheet is supported and the back surface of the seat cushion 1 a is placed on the vehicle floor 2.
It is preferable to provide a support member 4 having a height substantially equal to 0.

The link member 10 has one end connected to a rear portion of the lower surface of the seat cushion 1a by a hinge 10a and is rotatable.
Are connected to each other and are pivotally attached to each other, and are formed integrally or connected to a U-shaped frame when viewed in a plan view. Therefore, since the link member is a rod-shaped body as in the related art, and is not simply a connection between the lower rear portion of the seat cushion 1a and the front lower portion of the storage recess 2, rotation or unevenness may occur when the seat 1 moves. In addition, it is possible to perform a lifting operation or the like in a stable state.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a front leg provided at a front portion of the lower surface of the seat cushion 1a. When used as a seat, the front leg 6 is engaged with and fixed to a hook 6a provided on a vehicle body floor 20.
It is configured to be folded into the seat cushion 1a so as not to be in the way when the seat is stored. The front leg 6 is connected to the hinge 10a via a link mechanism 7,
When the seat 1 is turned over and moved to the storage recess 2, the front legs 6 are automatically folded into the seat cushion 1a. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the front leg 6 can be configured to operate independently without being connected to the hinge 10a, and further to be folded toward the center of the seat cushion 1a. Can also.

[0011] In the above-described structure, a recessed step portion 3 is formed in the vehicle body floor 20 following the front wall 2a of the storage recess 2, and one end of the link member 10 is connected to the seat cushion 1a.
As shown in FIG. 1, the seat back 1 is connected to the rear surface of the seat cushion 1a.
When the seat 1 is folded down and stored in the storage recess 2, the link member and the like are completely concealed in the recessed step portion 3.
No projections appear on the zero, a flat luggage compartment is formed, and stable loading of luggage can be performed, and since there is no projection on the vehicle body floor 20, the appearance is good. Further, when the seat 1 in a state of being overlapped behind the bottom of the storage recess 2 is stored in an inverted state, the support member 4 which supports the seat 1 and makes the back surface of the seat cushion 1a substantially the same height as the vehicle body floor 20 is provided. If you set it up,
The body floor 20 will always form a flat luggage compartment,
It will be easy to use. The seat 1 is stored by falling down on the seat back 1b toward the seat surface of the seat cushion 1a, releasing the fixing of the front legs 6, and rotating the link member 10 rearward in this state. Further, the inverted sheet 1 is stored in the storage recess 2. On the other hand, when taking out the sheet 1 from the state stored in the storage recess 2, it is possible to easily return to the original state by performing the operation reverse to the above, and the operability is extremely excellent.
