Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention involves arranging two seat cushions adjacent to each other at an installation location, and flipping one of the two seat cushions up to an upright position. The present invention relates to a movably supported vehicle seat.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, as this type of vehicle seat, there is one disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 153144/1983.

That is, a driver seat and an assist seat are arranged adjacent to each other, and the assist seat is flipped up and displaced to an upright position, so that the installation location of the assist seat can be used as a storage space.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, with such conventional vehicle seats, although it is possible to place objects on the installation location of the assist seat, for example, the installation location can be used as a work table for writing, etc. What you do is
The installation location is low and unstable, making it difficult to use.
The problem was that it was not easy to use.

The present invention has been developed by focusing on these conventional problems.The table is stored on the underside of the seat cushion, and when the seat cushion is raised, the table member is placed at an appropriate height. The objective is to provide a vehicle seat that is superior in terms of usability by being made to unfold.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The gist of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to arrange two seat cushions adjacent to each other at the installation location, and to , a vehicle seat supported so as to be able to be flipped up and displaced to an upright position, comprising a cushion lock mechanism that locks the seat cushion in the upright position, and when the seat cushion is in the upright position,
The table member is pivotably pivoted approximately around the upper edge of the seat cushion between a storage position in which it is stored along the lower surface of the seat cushion and a use position in which the surface for use is unfolded approximately horizontally. A vehicle seat characterized by supporting the vehicle seat.

"Operation" When the seat cushion is in the seating position, the table member is in the storage position and is stored along the lower surface of the seat cushion.

To use the table member, the seat cushion is flipped up to the upright position, and the cushion locking mechanism locks the seat cushion in the upright position. At this time, the table member is still stored along the lower surface of the seat cushion.

Next, when the table member is raised up with the upper edge of the seat cushion approximately at the center, the table member is in the use position and its use surface is unfolded approximately horizontally.

In the use position, the use surface of the table member is approximately at the same height as the upper edge of the raised seat cushion, making it easy to use as a table.

“Embodiment” An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Each figure shows one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is a driver seat 2 on the vehicle body floor 10, which is the installation location.
0, an assist seat 20a, and a center seat 30a arranged side by side between both seats 20, 20a. The assist seat 20a and the center seat 30a are installed on an engine panel 15 that closes the upper opening of the engine room.

Seat cushion 30 of center seat 30a
is attached to the engine panel 15 by a hinge member 16 so as to be able to swing between a seated position placed on the engine panel 15 and an upright position raised laterally around the side edge 31 on the side of the driver seat 20. It is pivotally supported.

A cushion locking mechanism 40 is provided for restraining the seat cushion 30 in the upright position. The cushion lock mechanism 40 includes a lock plate 41 pivotably supported on the engine panel 15. A guide groove 42 is bored in the lock plate 41, and the seat cushion 3 is inserted into the guide groove 42.
A pin member 35 protruding forward from 0 is fitted so that it can be guided.

A restraining groove 43 is formed at the end of the guide groove 42, into which the pin member 35 is relatively indented and restrains the seat cushion 30 in the upright position so as not to be able to swing.

Assist seat 20a of seat cushion 30
A table member 50 is attached to the side edge 32 by a hinge member 36 between a storage position where the seat cushion 30 is stored along the lower surface 33 and a use position where the surface 51 for use is unfolded approximately horizontally. It is pivotably supported.

The table member 50 is arranged such that the surface 51 used thereof is maintained substantially horizontal when the table member 50 is swung to the use position.
Its base end 52 abuts against the side edge 32 of the seat cushion 30.

A locking mechanism for the table member 50 may be used to fully restrain the table member 50 in the position of use.

Next, the action will be explained.

In FIG. 3, when the seat cushion 30 of the center seat 30a is in the seating position, the table member 50 is in the storage position and is stored along the lower surface 33 of the seat cushion 30.

At this time, the center seat 30a can be used as a normal seat.

To use the table member 50, the seat cushion 30 may be flipped up. As a result, the seat cushion 30 is in the upright position,
Its side edges 32 now face upward.

At this time, the pin member 35 is attached to the lock plate 41.
The pin member 3 moves in the guide groove 42 of the pin member 3.
5 falls into the restraining groove 43. Thereby, the seat cushion 30 is restrained in the upright position.

Even at this time, the table member 50 is still stored along the lower surface portion 33 of the seat cushion 30.

Next, when the table member 50 is raised about the side edge 32 of the seat cushion 30, the table member 50 rotates approximately 270 degrees, and the surface 51 to be used is expanded approximately horizontally. Be in position.

When the table member 50 is in the use position, the base end 52 of the table member 50 is connected to the seat cushion 3.
Abuts against the side edge 32 of 0. As a result, the surface 51 of the table member 50 that is used becomes approximately at the same height as the side edge 32 of the seat cushion 30, and is maintained in that state.

In the embodiment, the seat cushion 30
Although the figure shows one that stands up to the side, it may also stand up by jumping forward.

According to the vehicle seat according to the embodiment, the base end portion 52 of the table member 50 is connected to the seat cushion 3.
Since the table member 50 is restrained in the use position by contacting the side edge 32 of the table member 0, a special locking mechanism for the table member is not required, and the device is simplified and manufacturing costs are increased. It will not happen again.

"Effect of the invention" According to the vehicle seat of the invention, the table member is stored on the lower surface side of the seat cushion, and when used, the seat cushion is erected and the table member is placed at an appropriate height. This makes it extremely easy to use.
