Description

[0001]
[Field of the Invention]
The present invention relates to an arm cover used for a hinge bracket of a vehicle seat.
[0002]
[Background]
In general, a hinge bracket of an automobile seat is assembled by hinge-connecting a seat back bracket to a seat cushion bracket with a shaft and covering them with a cover. In particular, in free hinge brackets, the seat cushion bracket is generally covered with an arm cover and an arm boss cover that are joined together in a flush manner, and the arm covers are separated from each other. In addition, since a plurality of hooks are integrally formed and fixed to the arm of the seat cushion cushion bracket by the hooks, separation and disassembly is very difficult, and recycling is labor intensive and troublesome. Of course, the arm boss cover is the same.
[0003]
[Problems of the Invention]
The object of the present invention is that the arm of the hinge bracket can be firmly and securely assembled, and can be easily detached from the arm when dismantling, facilitating separation and disassembly, and easy recycling. The provision of an arm cover used for a hinge bracket of a vehicle seat.
[0004]

[Explanation of specific examples]
Hereinafter, an arm cover used for a hinge bracket of a vehicle seat according to the present invention will be described based on a specific example shown and illustrated. FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate a free cover in a third seat of a wagon. 10 shows an embodiment 10 of an arm cover used for a hinge bracket of a vehicle seat of the present invention, which is utilized for a hinge bracket, the arm cover 10 being molded from a hard resin, and the arm cover 10, the cover wall 11 has a splice end 19 and is shaped to cover the surface of the arm of the seat cushion bracket at its free long bracket, and the side wall 12 has a splice end. Is projected from the periphery of the cover wall 11 except 19 to the back surface 18 side of the cover wall 11, and a pair of Sides 13, 14 are projected toward the back surface 21 facing the side wall 12 near the joining end 19, and can be hung on the peripheral edge of the arm on the back surface side of the arm, and a pair of inner claws 15 and 16 are protruded at a predetermined distance from the back surface 18 of the cover wall 11 so as to face each other in the vicinity of the outer claws 13 and 14, and from the front surface side of the arm, a pair of holes of the arm It is fitted through the arm and can be hooked to the opening edge of the hole on the back side of the arm.
[0006]
The cover wall 11 is formed such that the joining end 19 is formed on the stepped surface 20 and overlapped with the joining end of the arm boss cover so that the arm cover 10 is flush with the arm boss cover. It can be connected.
[0007]
The side wall 12 extends long enough to fit the arm inside the arm cover 10 and protrudes from the periphery of the cover wall 11 excluding the joining end 19 to the back surface 18 side of the cover wall 11. The
[0008]
One of the outer claws 13, 14 is aligned with the joining end 19 and protrudes to the back surface 21 of the side wall 12. Specifically, the outer claw 13 is protruded from the back surface 21 of the side wall 12 with the barb 22 matched to the thickness of the arm and the barb 22 facing the back surface 18 of the cover wall 11. As such, the outer claw 13 that is aligned with the connection end 19 is utilized for positioning when the arm cover 10 is overlapped and connected to the arm boss cover.
[0009]
The other 14 of the outer claws 13 and 14 is appropriately separated from the joining end 19 and protrudes to the back surface 21 of the side wall 12. Specifically, the outer claw 14 is protruded from the back surface 21 of the side wall 12 with the barb 23 adjusted to the thickness of the arm and the barb 23 facing the back surface 18 of the cover wall 11.
[0010]
The pair of inner claws 15 and 16 has the barbs 24 and 25 matched to the thickness of the arm, and the barbs 24 and 25 face each other in the vicinity of the outer claws 13 and 14 so that the The rear surface 18 protrudes at a predetermined interval. In particular, the inner claws 15 and 16 are arranged in the vicinity of the outer claws 13 and 14 so that the barbs 24 and 25 are aligned with the barbs 22 and 23 of the outer claws 13 and 14. When the side wall 12 of the outer claws 13 and 14 is opened while pressing the surface 17 of the cover wall 11 near the outer wall, the outer claws 13 and 14 and the inner claws 15 and 16 are opened in the detaching direction. It easily disengages from the arm and the arm cover 10 is disassembled from the arm.
[0011]
The arm cover 10 projects a bolt-and-pin receiver 26 to the back surface 18 of the cover wall 11 at the tip, and projects a rib 27 to the back surface 18 of the cover wall 11 in the vicinity of the bolt-pin receiver 26. The side wall 12 is reinforced by the lever rib 27.
[0012]
Therefore, the arm cover 10 is pressed against the arm by pressing the outer claws 13 and 14 against the joining end of the arm boss cover to fit the side wall 12 to the arm. Then, the outer claws 13 and 14 are hung on the peripheral edge of the arm on the back side of the arm, while the inner claws 15 and 16 extend from the surface side of the arm to the pair of holes in the arm. The arm cover 10 is fixedly assembled to the arm so as to cover the arm by being fitted through and hooked to the opening edge of the hole on the back side of the arm.
[0013]
For removal, the side wall 12 at the outer claws 13 and 14 is opened while pushing the surface 17 of the cover wall 11 near the inner claws 15 and 16. Then, both the outer claws 13 and 14 and the inner claws 15 and 16 are opened in the disengagement direction, that is, opened outward and detached from the arm, and the arm cover 10 is easily removed from the arm. .
[0014]
As will be apparent from the specific embodiments of the present invention described above with reference to the drawings, for those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, It is easily embodied in another embodiment that derives from the nature and the nature of the invention and is objectively recognized as having them inherent. Of course, the content of this invention corresponds to the problem of the invention (be recommend with) and is essential for the establishment of the invention.
[0015]
[Benefits of the invention]
As understood from the above, the arm cover used for the hinge bracket of the vehicle seat according to the present invention has a joining end, and a cover wall covering the surface of the arm of the hinge bracket, and the joining cover. A side wall protruding from the periphery of the cover wall excluding the mating end to the back side of the cover wall, a side wall protruding near the joining end and facing the opposite side of the side wall, and the periphery of the arm on the back side of the arm A pair of outer claws that are hung on the edges, a pair of holes in the arm projecting from the front side of the arm and protruding from the front surface of the arm at a predetermined interval, facing each other in the vicinity of the outer claws A pair of inner claws that are fitted through the arm and hooked to the opening edge of the hole on the back surface side of the arm. -The arm cover used for the bracket ensures secure assembly, and can be easily disassembled, making it easy to separate and disassemble, enabling easy recycling, and effective use of scarce resources. As a result, it is very useful and practical for hinge brackets of vehicle seats.
