DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rear seat for an automobile which can be freely changed to a wide luggage compartment as required.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, since outdoor leisure and the like have become popular, automobiles often carry large amounts of luggage, and in light vans and wagon-type automobiles, the rear seats are moved forward. Rear seats of a type that can be changed to a large luggage compartment have been proposed. As a specific arrangement method of this rear seat, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the rear seat is made up of a rear seat cushion 1a and a rear seat back 1b (usually in a dashed line state), and the rear seat cushion 1a is moved forward. After standing up, the rear seat back 1b is moved forward to form a luggage compartment following the rear deck 10, or as shown in FIG. 5, after the rear seat cushion 1a is detached, the rear seat back 1b is moved forward to move the rear deck 10 to the rear deck 10. There are types that form a subsequent luggage compartment.

[0003] However, in the former case, the trouble of removing the headrest 2 and the trouble of erecting the rear seat cushion 1a are required, and there is a problem that the operability is poor. In the latter case, there is a problem that an extra space for storing the separated rear seat cushion 1a is required.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can easily and quickly change the seat without the trouble of removing the headrest. It has been completed with the objective of providing an automobile rear seat that can be changed to a luggage compartment and that can accommodate a rear seat cushion and make the front seat in the rearmost state and create a vast space on the front seat side. is there.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a rear seat for an automobile according to the present invention is configured such that a rear seat back provided at a rear portion of a rear seat cushion supported on a high step portion of a stepped floor is tilted forward. In the rear seats for automobiles, the back side of which becomes the loading floor following the rear deck,
A storage room for storing a rear seat cushion is formed on the lower surface of the rear deck to form a seat for seating with the rear seat cushion and the rear seat back, and a rear seat cushion is stored in the storage room and the rear seat back is tilted forward. 2 of the state that constitutes the expanded luggage compartment
It is characterized in that the mode can be switched.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drawings show a rear seat cushion 1a and a rear seat back 1b in a wagon or the like.
A rear seat 1b provided at a rear portion of a rear seat cushion 1a supported by a high step portion 11 of a stepped floor is tilted forward, and a rear surface becomes a cargo floor surface following the rear deck 10. The configuration is basically the same as that of a conventional vehicle rear seat of this type. 2 is a headrest,
Numeral 3 is a reclining pin for pivotally pivoting the rear seat back 1b forward.

In the present invention, a storage chamber 20 for storing a rear seat cushion 1a is provided on the lower surface of the rear deck 10.
And a normal state in which the rear seat cushion 1a and the rear seat back 1b constitute a seat for seating, and a luggage compartment in which the rear seat cushion 1a is stored in the storage chamber 20 and the rear seat back 1b is moved forward to enlarge. The characteristic configuration is that the state can be switched between two modes.

That is, the lower surface of the rear deck 10 is a space, in which a storage chamber 20 capable of storing the rear seat cushion 1a is formed. A slide rail 21 is laid from the high step portion 11 to the storage room 20, and the rear seat cushion 1 a is guided by the slide rail 21 from the frontmost position where the rear seat cushion 1 a forms a seat. It can be freely slid to the rearmost position where it is completely housed in the box. The rear seat cushion 1a can be freely positioned and fixed at any position from the foremost position to the rearmost position by a lock mechanism (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 3, tire wheel houses 12, 12 are provided on both sides of the rear deck 10.
Is provided, a side seat cushion 4a and a side seat back 4b each having a width corresponding to the protrusion of the wheel house 12 are provided. It is configured so that it can be stored. Furthermore, if the side seat cushion 4a and the side seat back 4b are configured to be able to be divided into left and right at arbitrary positions (6: 4 ratio in the illustrated case), the seat arrangement can be efficiently performed according to the load to be loaded. You can do it.

[0010] The thus constructed vehicle is normally in a state in which a seat for seating is formed by a rear seat cushion 1a and a rear seat back 1b positioned at the forefront (see a dashed line in FIG. 1). Will be used as When it is necessary to enlarge the rear deck 10, the locking mechanism of the rear seat cushion 1a is released, and the rear seat cushion 1a is guided by the slide rails 21 and stored in the storage chamber 20, and then the rear seat back 1b is pivoted around the reclining pins 3. If the front seat is turned forward and lowered, the rear surface of the rear seat back 1b becomes a cargo floor surface following the rear deck 10, and a large space capable of storing large luggage is obtained. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the rear seat cushion 1b is left as it is,
If only a is stored in the storage room 20 and the seat 5 on the front side is guided by the slide rail 6 and moved rearward, a large space can be obtained on the front seat side. Further, when the rear seat cushion 1a is guided by the slide rails 21 and stored in the storage chamber 20, the rear seat cushion 1a can be stopped at an arbitrary position, and the cushion length can be freely changed according to the body shape of a seated person. It will also be possible to use it.

[0011]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the seat can be changed easily and in a short time without the trouble of removing the headrest, and the seat can be freely changed to a wide luggage compartment as needed. In addition, the rear seat cushion can be housed so that the front seat is in a rearmost state to create a vast space on the front seat side. Further, by storing the rear seat cushion by an arbitrary length, there is an advantage that the rear seat cushion can be used as a cushion length variable seat. Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to the development of industry as a rear seat for an automobile which has solved the conventional problems.
