The present embodiment relates to a fixing member for a conveyance seat (fixing member), a conveyance seat, and a method for manufacturing a conveyance seat.

Incidentally, a side of a seat back (headrest) of the conveyance seat, on which a seated occupant is seated, becomes a seat front side.

<First Embodiment of Conveyance Seat>

As shown in FIG. 1, a conveyance seat S is a rear seat corresponding to, for example, a rear seat of a vehicle. Incidentally, the conveyance seat S can also be used as a second-row middle seat in a vehicle including three rows of seats in a vehicle front to back direction.

The conveyance seat S is a seat that can be in three types of seat arrangement modes: a “normal state” for an occupant to be seated, a “stored state” where a seat body is stored in a conveyance floor, and a “tip-up state” where the seat body (seat cushion) is flipped upward.

Specifically, when the occupant operates a back operating lever 52 located at an upper end portion of the seat body, the conveyance seat S is switched from the “normal state” shown in FIG. 1 to the “stored state” (not shown) in which the seat body is tilted forward, is folded, and is stored in the conveyance floor. Then, when the occupant manually raises the seat body upward, the conveyance seat S is switched from the “stored state” to the “tip-up state” shown in FIG. 2. Further, when the occupant operates a cushion operating lever located at a front end portion of the seat body (seat cushion), a part of the seat body (seat cushion) rotates downward, and the conveyance seat S returns to the “normal state” shown in FIG. 1 from the “tip-up state”.

Incidentally, when the occupant operates the cushion operating lever, the conveyance seat S is also switchable from the “normal state” shown in FIG. 1 to the “tip-up state”.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the conveyance seat S includes the seat body including a seat back 1, a seat cushion 2, and a headrest 3; a support leg 30 attached between the seat cushion 2 and the conveyance floor, and supporting the seat cushion 2; a support base 40 that rotatably supports the seat back 1; a switching device 50 that rotatably connects the seat back 1 to the support base 40; and a cushion lock device 60 that rotatably connects the seat cushion 2 to the seat back 1.

In addition, when the cushion operating lever is operated in the “normal state”, the cushion lock device 60 can release the lock state of the cushion frame 20, and raise the cushion frame 20 upward against the biasing force of the spiral spring 63 to move the cushion frame 20 to the “tip-up state” shown in FIG. 2. Then, when the cushion operating lever is operated again in the “tip-up state”, the cushion frame 20 can be rotated downward by the biasing force of the spiral spring 63 to return to the “normal state” shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the cushion cover 70 is a resin-molded product attached to the back surface of the seat cushion 2 (cushion frame 20) and covering the seat cushion 2.

The cushion cover 70 includes a cover body 71 corresponding to the external shape of the cushion frame 20, a leg insertion hole 72 which is formed in a front portion of the cover body 71 and into which the support leg 30 is inserted, the leg accommodation portion 73 that is formed in a central portion of the cover body 71 and that accommodates the support leg 30, and an attachment portion 74 that is formed in a rear portion of the cover body 71 and that is assembled to the cushion frame 20.

The attachment portion 74 is a portion in which the cushion frame 20 and the fixing member 80 are assembled.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the attachment portion 74 is an attachment hole, and is disposed at a position facing an attached portion 25 (attachment hole) of the pan frame 24.

In more detail, by attaching an attachment bolt 87 and an attachment nut 88 in a state where the attachment portion 74 and the attached portion 25 are in communication with each other, the cushion frame 20 (pan frame 24), the cushion cover 70, and the fixing member 80 are assembled together.

Incidentally, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, an accommodation recess 75 that accommodates the fixing member 80 (attachment portions 81 and 82) is formed in a portion of the cushion cover 70, in which the attachment portion 74 is formed, and in a portion therearound. For this reason, the fixing member 80 can be compactly disposed.

<<First Embodiment of Fixing Member>>

As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing member 80 is a fixing body (fixing grip) for attaching an object to the conveyance seat S when the conveyance seat S is in the “tip-up state”.

By using the fixing member 80, luggage can be fixed to the conveyance seat S in the conveyance or luggage can be hooked. For example, luggage (relatively large luggage) such as bicycle, motorcycle, and leisure goods can be fixed or hooked.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 to 9, the fixing member 80 includes the first attachment portion 81 and the second attachment portion 82 provided spaced apart from each other in the seat width direction, and attached to the back surface of the seat cushion 2; a connecting portion 83 connecting the first attachment portion 81 and the second attachment portion 82; and a hook portion 84 attached to an upper end portion of the connecting portion 83.

A plurality of through holes 85 for fixing an object are formed in the connecting portion 83. The through holes 85 are formed to penetrate through the connecting portion 83.

In addition, a plurality of reinforcement portions 86 extending across the connecting portion 83 are formed in portions of the connecting portion 83, in which the through holes 85 are formed. For this reason, the fixing member 80 can be reinforced while reducing the weight by forming the through holes 85.

Each of the first attachment portion 81 and the second attachment portion 82 is an attachment hole and is disposed at a position facing the attachment portion 74 of the cushion cover 70 and the attached portion 25 of the cushion frame 20.

In more detail, by attaching the attachment bolt 87 and the attachment nut 88 in a state where the first attachment portion 81 (second attachment portion 82), the attachment portion 74, and the attached portion 25 are in communication with each other, the cushion cover 70 and the fixing member 80 are assembled to the cushion frame 20.

Incidentally, a stepped portion 81a (82a) that accommodates a head portion of the attachment bolt 87 is formed in a portion around a portion of the fixing member 80, in which the first attachment portion 81 (second attachment portion 82) is formed. For this reason, the fixing member 80 can be compactly disposed.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the connecting portion 83 is disposed at a position where the connecting portion 83 linearly connects the first attachment portion 81 and the second attachment portion 82. For this reason, the connecting portion 83 can be compactly disposed.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the hook portion 84 is a portion onto which an object is hooked, and is disposed between the first attachment portion 81 and the second attachment portion 82. For this reason, the hook portion 84 can be compactly disposed.

A plurality of the hook portions 84 are provided on the upper end portion of the connecting portion 83, and are disposed spaced apart from each other in an extending direction of the connecting portion 83. For this reason, a plurality of luggage can be hooked. In addition, the rotation of one luggage can be suppressed by hooking the one luggage on the plurality of hook portions 84.

The hook portions 84 are disposed at positions not overlapping the reinforcement portions 86 in the extending direction of the connecting portion 83. For this reason, when luggage hooked on the hook portions 84 is removed, the fingers can be prevented from being caught on the reinforcement portions 86.

The hook portions 84 are provided on the connecting portion 83, and are disposed at positions separated from the back surface of the seat cushion 2 (cushion cover 70). For this reason, it becomes easier to visually confirm the hook portions 84.

Each of the hook portion 84 and the reinforcement portions 86 extends in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the connecting portion 83, and extends in the same direction. For this reason, the fixing member 80 can be compactly designed.

A central portion in the extending direction of the connecting portion 83 is disposed at a position separated farthest from the back surface of the seat cushion 2 (cushion cover 70). Furthermore, the hook portions 84 are disposed on the central portion of the connecting portion 83. For this reason, it becomes easier to hook luggage onto the hook portions.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the through holes 85 are portions for fixing an object using a string material or the like, and are disposed between the first attachment portion 81 and the second attachment portion 82. By implementing such a configuration, the through holes 85 can be compactly disposed.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the reinforcement portions 86 are provided in the connecting portion 83, and are disposed at positions separated from the back surface of the seat cushion 2. For this reason, the rigidity of the fixing member 80 located at a position separated from the seat cushion 2 can be increased.

The reinforcement portion 86 is disposed at a position interposed between the plurality of hook portions 84 in the extending direction of the connecting portion 83. For this reason, when luggage hooked on the hook portion 84 swings, a load applied to the fixing member 80 can be received by the reinforcement portions 86.

In this configuration, the fixing member 80 has a color different from that of a portion of the back surfaces of the seat cushion 2 and the cushion cover 70, the fixing member 80 being attached to the portion.

By implementing such a configuration, it becomes easier to visually confirm the fixing member 80.

In this configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, a part of the fixing member 80 or the entirety of the fixing member 80 is disposed at a position overlapping the support leg 30 in the seat width direction.

In addition, a part or the entirety of the hook portion 84 is disposed at a position overlapping the support leg 30 in the seat width direction.

By implementing such a configuration, the support leg 30 and the fixing member 80 (hook portions 84) can be compactly disposed in the seat width direction.

In this configuration, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the fixing member 80 includes a first attachment bolt 87a for attaching the first attachment portion 81 to the cushion frame 20 (first attached portion 25a), and a second attachment bolt 87b for attaching the second attachment portion 82 to the cushion frame 20 (second attached portion 25b).

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the first attachment bolt 87a is disposed inside the second attachment bolt 87b and is disposed at a position overlapping the support leg 30, in the seat width direction.

The second attachment bolt 87b is disposed at a position not overlapping the support leg 30 in the seat width direction.

By implementing such a configuration, the fixing member 80 can be attached to the back surface of the seat cushion 2 over a wide range.

In this configuration, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the reinforcement portions 86 include a first reinforcement portion 86a and a second reinforcement portion 86b extending across the connecting portion 83.

The first reinforcement portion 86a is disposed between the central portion of the connecting portion 83 and the first attachment portion 81. The second reinforcement portion 86b is disposed between the central portion of the connecting portion 83 and the second attachment portion 82.

By implementing such a configuration, the rigidity of the fixing member 80 can be efficiently increased.

In this configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the central portion in the extending direction of the connecting portion 83 is disposed at the position separated farthest from the back surface of the seat cushion 2 (cushion cover 70). Furthermore, the central portion of the connecting portion 83 and the support leg 30 are disposed at the same position in the seat width direction.

By implementing such a configuration, the protrusion-shaped components (the support leg 30 and the fixing member 80) attached to the seat cushion 2 can be collectively disposed in one place.

With this configuration, it is possible to realize the fixing member 80 and the conveyance seat S to which an object can be more suitably attached than in the related art.
