[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In vehicles such as automobiles, since the indoor space is limited, storage of luggage is naturally limited. Therefore, for example, there is an automobile that uses a space under a seat.

FIG. 12 shows a seat structure in which a storage portion is provided by utilizing a space below the seat. In this seat structure, rails 101 facing each other in the front-rear direction are provided in a space below a seat cushion 100. Is provided with an under tray 102 that can slide along. According to this conventional technique, not only can the undertray 102 not be easily removed, but also cannot be removed from the rear seat.

Therefore, a prior art (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-61746) is known in which the cushion body of the seat on the passenger seat side of the automobile is rotated so as to rise forward to utilize the lower space of the cushion body. Have been. In this prior art, as shown in FIG.
3 has a front end rotatably mounted on a frame 104 and a box-like body 105 disposed inside the frame 104.

[0005] In this prior art, the inside of the box-shaped body 105 is used for storage, and the cushion body 103 is raised forward to open the upper surface of the box-shaped body 105.

[0006]

However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, it is difficult to take out the box-shaped body 105, and the box-shaped body 105 cannot be carried in place of a basket.
Further, there is a possibility that the box-shaped body 105 may rattle in the frame 104. Further, it was difficult to put the hand in the gap of the cushion body 103 to raise the cushion body 103.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a vehicle seat structure capable of reliably positioning a storage container with respect to a cushion frame.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a cushion frame and a cushion body are provided.
Seat cushion and the rear end of the seat cushion
With the seat back attached to the
With the cushion body facing forward with the front end as the center.
Rotatably attach to the cushion frame, and
Storage container in the cushion frame at the bottom of the housing body
In a vehicle seat structure with a detachably attached
The cushion frame is a pair extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
Side frame and the side frame
It is composed of a front pipe and a rear pipe
In both cases, the front pie is attached to the front end of the cushion body.
A hinge mechanism connected to the
The rear end of the housing body is engaged and disengaged with the rear pipe.
The storage container is provided with a latch mechanism for
Formed at the top of the side frame outward to the side
A flange portion is formed to engage with the upper end frame portion to be formed.
At the same time, insert the storage container into the cushion frame.
And insert the flange portion of the storage container into the side frame.
When engaging with the upper frame of
The cushion body behind the side frame
And the latch mechanism
When disengaging the side frame from the rear pipe
The belt is operated in accordance with
It is exposed on the upper surface of the rear end of the installation body .

[0009]

When the storage container is used, when the band of the cushion body is pulled, the latch body is pulled and the engagement with the striker is released. Then pull the band further to raise the cushion body. Thus, the cushion body is pivoted about the hinge and is raised forward. When the cushion main body is raised, the upper surface of the storage container is opened, so that shopping or other luggage can be stored in the storage container. The storage container can be removed from the fastening portion and pulled up, so that the storage container can be removed from the upper end frame portion of the side frame and carried around. Since the storage container is hung from the cushion frame via the flange portion having a semicircular cross section, the positioning with respect to the cushion frame can be reliably performed.

Are provided so as to be rotatable forward around a front end portion via a hinge mechanism 6 provided between the front end and the front end.

[0011] The cushion frame 4, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 constitute a quadrilateral, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle
A pair of side frames 7, 7 extending and a front pipe 8 bridged between upper front ends and upper rear ends of the side frames 7, 7 so as to form a top frame.
And a rear pipe 9. The cushion
The front end of the housing main body 5 is connected to the front pipe 8.
And a cushion mechanism 6 is provided and after the cushion body 5
At the end, after engaging and disengaging with the rear pipe 9
The latch mechanism 23 described below is provided. A buckle 10 for a seat belt is mounted on one side frame 7 of the cushion frame 4.

A bracket 11 is welded to a lower portion of the cushion frame 4, and the bracket 11 is attached to a slide rail 12. This slide rail 1
2 is a bolt 13 and a nut 14
And an upper rail 15 fixed via the upper rail 15 slidably supporting the upper rail 15 and the floor 1
Front and rear brackets 1 on brackets 17 provided on
8 and a lower rail 19 fixed through the lower rail 8. The bracket 18 is integrally formed with a bracket 18a provided at the front of the lower rail 19, a bracket 18b provided at the rear of the lower rail 19, and a bracket 18b at the rear indoor side of the lower rail 19, and at the center of the floor 16 It is composed of a bracket 18c fixed to a tunnel (not shown). The upper rail 15 and the lower rail 19 of the slide rail 12 are configured such that rail portions 15 a and 19 a having a U-shaped cross section are opposed to each other, and the upper flange portion 15 b of the upper rail 15 is formed by the upper flange portion 15 b of the lower rail 19. The lower rail 19 is formed in a U-shape in cross section so as to be located on the lower side, and the lower flange portion 15c of the lower rail 19 is positioned in an inverted U-shape so as to be located above the lower flange portion 15c of the upper rail 15.
It is formed in a character shape.

A cover 20 is provided on the outer surface of the cushion frame 4, and a lever 21 of a reclining device is provided outside the cover 20. At the rear end of the cushion main body 5, a band 22 for raising the cushion main body 5 is provided. This band 22 is for releasing a latch mechanism 23 provided on the cushion main body 5. As shown in FIG. 7, the latch mechanism 23 includes a spring (not shown) built in the latch case 24.
The latch main body 25 is urged, and a striker 26 engaging with the latch main body 25 is mounted on the rear pipe 9 of the cushion frame 4. Latch mechanism 23
When the band 22 is pulled, the latch body 25 operates against the spring, and the engagement between the latch body 25 and the striker 26 is released.

Reference numeral 27 denotes a storage container which is detachably disposed in the lower space portion of the cushion main body 5 and is formed of a soft material such as a synthetic resin.
It is configured as shown in FIGS. This storage container 27 is provided with a flange portion 28 having a semicircular cross section outward on both sides of the upper end and the front and rear portions.
Is hung on both sides and the front part of the upper end of the cushion frame 4 to suspend the storage container 27. The flange portions 28b on both sides of the flange portion 28 are engaged with the upper end pipe portions 7a of the side frames 7, 7 of the cushion frame 4, and the front flange portion 28a of the flange portion 28 is connected to the front pipe portion. 8 and is attached. Both ends of a wire-made handle 29 are rotatably attached to the upper end of both sides of the storage container 27. The handle 29 is provided with a fastening portion 30 integrally formed on the upper surface of the front end of the storage container 27. It is locked to. The retaining portion 30 is obtained by cutting and raising a part of the storage container 27 so as to form a slit 31 for retaining the handle 29 at the rotation position of the handle 29.

As shown in FIG. 11, the upper surface of the flange portion 28b of the storage container 27 is pressed between the upper end pipe portion 7a and the stopper rubber 32 attached to at least the lower surface of both sides of the cushion body 5.

According to the vehicle seat structure having the above structure, when the storage container 27 is used, the cushion body 5 is used.
When the band 22 is pulled, the latch body 25 is pulled and the engagement with the striker 26 is released. And band 22
