[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mechanism for tilting the backrest of a rear seat forward in a vehicle having a luggage compartment at the rear of the vehicle, such as a passenger compartment or a pouch.

In automobiles that have a luggage compartment at the rear of the vehicle and load and unload luggage by opening the back door, the backrest of the rear seat is configured to be able to be folded forward, and the backrest must be folded forward when the rear seat is not in use. This allows the area of the rear luggage compartment to be expanded.

The backrest of the rear seat is usually rotatably pivoted on both sides of the vehicle body (or both sides of the rear of the seat cushion), and the engaging pieces provided on both sides of the upper side of the backrest are attached to both sides of the vehicle body. It is held in the upright position of use by engaging with the locking part of the backrest, and an operating mechanism for releasing the locked state by the engaging piece is usually provided in the backrest part. On this occasion,
Currently, it is very troublesome and inconvenient to have to enter the vehicle interior or luggage compartment, unlock the backrest unlocking mechanism, and fold the backrest forward before loading the vehicle. be.

The present invention is intended to address the above-mentioned conventional problems, and will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a backrest of the rear seat, 2 is a cushion, and the rear backrest 1 has brackets fixed to both rear sides of the vehicle body member 3 or the rear cushion 2 on both sides of the lower part thereof, as shown in FIG. 4 is rotatably mounted on a shaft 5, and a spring 6 is attached to the shaft 5.
is provided to apply rotational force in the direction of tilting the rear backrest 1 forward.

A retaining piece 7 is attached to the upper both sides of the rear backrest 1 via a slider 8 so as to be able to slide on both sides. ), the engaging piece 7 engages with an engaging portion (not shown) provided on the vehicle body 3 in the upright position of the rear backrest as shown in FIG. It has become.

For example, when an operating member (not shown) provided at the center of the rear surface of the rear backrest 1 is operated, the lever 9 rotates, and the slider 8 is drawn toward the center via the cable 10 such as a wire, and the engagement piece 7 is retracted to release the lock, and the rear backrest 1 can be tilted forward by the spring 6.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a remote control member provided at or near the back door opening frame, such as a rear skirt 15 serving as the opening frame of the back door 14, and the remote control member 11 is connected to the guide member 12.
The remote control member 11 is connected to the left and right retaining pieces 7 via a cable 12 such as a wire guided by 1 and a cable 13 such as a wire connecting both the left and right sliders 8. The engaging piece 7 can be operated in the unlocking direction by operating the engaging piece 7 as shown in FIG.

16 indicates a luggage compartment.

Therefore, when carrying out loading work, for example, when a cargo handling worker opens the back door 14 and operates the remote control member 11 on the spot, the left and right engaging pieces 7 are unlocked via the cables 12.13, and the rear The rest 1 is tilted forward by a spring 6 to expand the cutting chamber.

As described above, according to the present invention, the rear backrest can be tilted forward by operating the remote control member located close to the bank door, so it is extremely easy to tilt the rear backrest forward with one touch when loading cargo. This allows the luggage compartment to be expanded and cargo handling operations to be significantly simplified.

In the present invention, the engagement piece T that holds the rear backrest 1 in an upright position, its unlocking mechanism, etc. are not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and can be applied to any configuration. The spring 6 biased in the inverted direction is not limited to the illustrated spiral spring, but may be any other mechanism such as a torsion bar type.
