Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automobile seat having a footrest, and particularly for an automobile in which the footrest is screwed to the front end of the seat portion so that it can be locked in any of a plurality of angular positions. Regarding the seat.

When riding in a car for a long time or stopping to rest, there is a desire to stretch out one's legs in the rear seat. You can stretch your legs by sitting sideways in the back seat, but since you can't use the backrest, it's not comfortable enough, and you can't do that if there are more than one passenger.

Conventionally, therefore, a cushion block 4 made of air cushion or foamed urethane, as shown in FIG. 1, has been used. That is, the cushion block 4 closes the space where the feet should be placed between the front seat 1 fixed to the floor 5 of the automobile via a frame 6 and the rear seat 2 fixed directly to the rear floor 3. A person sitting in seat 2 can put his/her feet onto this cushion block 4.

However, such a cushion block 4
If the cushion block 4 is made of an air mat, it is not sufficient in terms of strength and comfort, and if the cushion block 4 is made of urethane foam, it requires a storage space. Furthermore, considering the space required for its installation and removal, it is impossible to realize a cushion block 4 that completely fills the space between the front and rear seats.

In view of these shortcomings of the conventional cushion blocks, the main purpose of the present invention is to have a suitable footrest, which does not require special space for storage, and which can be used not only in the interior of the car. Another object of the present invention is to provide an automobile seat that is suitable even when used outside the vehicle.

The object of the present invention is to provide an automobile seat that is attachable to and detachable from the vehicle body and that can be stopped in any of a plurality of angular positions including a substantially horizontal position with respect to the seat surface. has a footrest screwed onto the front end of the seat, and foldable or removable rear legs provided near the rear end of the seat, and when the seat is removed from the vehicle body. This is achieved by providing an automobile seat characterized in that the seat can be used even outside the vehicle by using the footrest as the front legs together with the rear legs.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the interior of a vehicle in which a vehicle seat based on the present invention is attached to the rear seat. The front seat is of a conventional type, and the front seat 1 is fixed to the floor surface 5 of the automobile via a frame 6. The backrest portion of the rear seat 7 directly fixed to the rear floor surface 3 is of the conventional type, but a footrest 9 is screwed into the front end of the seat surface portion 8 at a portion 10.

As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the seat portion 8 consists of a frame 11 covered by a cushion 10a, and a footrest frame 12 is attached to the front end of the frame 11.
is screwed with a pivot pin 13. This footrest frame 12 is covered with a cushion 10b that is integrated with a cushion 10a that covers the frame 11 of the seat portion 8. Further, a gear 14 is fixed to the rear end of the footrest frame 12. On the other hand, a latch 15 is pivotally attached to the front end portion of the frame 11 of the seat portion 8 by means of a pivot pin 16, and the latch 15 is attached to the gear 1 by operating a handle 17.
4 can be engaged and disengaged as appropriate.

That is, after pulling up the handle 17 in the direction of arrow A, the frame 12 is rotated to a desired angular position, the handle 17 is returned, and the latch 15 is engaged with the gear 14, thereby moving the footrest 9 to the desired angular position. can be fixed to.

Since the footrest 9 can be fixed at a desired position in this manner, the person sitting on this car seat can support his or her feet as needed, making it extremely comfortable. Furthermore, if this footrest 9 is fixed vertically downward, it will not be an obstacle in normal use. Also, the cushion 10a,
By integrally constructing 10b using foamed urethane or the like, there is no discontinuity or gap between the footrest 9 and the seat surface 8, making it extremely comfortable and maintaining a desirable appearance. be able to.

The automobile seat constructed in this manner is also suitable for use outside the vehicle. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the rear seat 7 can be removed from the rear floor surface 3 and used on the floor surface 19 outside the vehicle. At this time, by fixing the footrest 9 in an appropriate downward position, using it as the front leg, and using the rear leg 18 separately, it is also possible to use it as a suitable chair for use outside the vehicle. In this case, it is preferable that the rear legs 18 be folded under the seat portion 8 when the automobile seat is used inside the vehicle.

As described above, according to the automobile seat based on the present invention, it is possible to easily provide a footrest inside the vehicle without using any other tools or equipment, and the seat can also be suitably used outside the vehicle. An extremely convenient and highly practical automobile seat is provided.
