Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rear seat device for a light truck, and more particularly to a rear seat device capable of ensuring a space suitable for storing long luggage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a small truck having a front seat and a rear seat provided in a passenger compartment, a seat back of a rear seat is often attached to a front surface of a back panel forming a rear wall of the passenger compartment. Further, conventionally, by attaching an upper trim along the upper edge of the seat back and a lower trim covering the lower edge of the seat back and the upper edge of the rear end of the seat cushion to the back panel, the appearance of the rear seat can be secured. There were many.

On the other hand, a small truck does not have a large trunk like a normal passenger car, and the storage space in the passenger compartment is provided in the glove box in front of the passenger seat, which is a part of the front seat, and in the center of the passenger compartment. It is limited to a console box that can be used, an accessory case provided under the seat cushion of the rear seat, and the like.

Therefore, since a large and long luggage cannot be stored in these storage cases, conventionally, it is unavoidable to place the luggage at an appropriate position in the luggage carrier or in the vehicle. Also,
Since a long jack bar and the like used for jacking up cannot be stored together with the main body of a jack in an accessory case, conventionally, a split type jack bar was often used at the expense of usability.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is suitable for storing a long luggage or the like by improving a rear seat device of a small truck having a limited storage space. The challenge is to secure vacant spaces.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention relates to a small truck having a front seat and a rear seat in a passenger compartment, and a seat back of a rear seat forms a rear wall of the passenger compartment. While mounted on the front surface of the back panel, the front surface of the back panel sandwiched between the lower edge of the seat back and the upper edge of the rear end of the seat cushion of the rear seat is covered with a trim to form a space between the back panel and the trim. is doing. The vacant space is opened to the vehicle compartment through an opening provided on the front surface of the trim, and a door is provided to cover the opening so that the opening can be opened and closed.

[0007]

[Function] When the door is opened and closed, the void formed between the back panel and the trim can be communicated with and cut off from the passenger compartment. Therefore, for example, a long void such as an integrated jack bar is trimmed. Can be stored and stored in. Also, when the door is closed, luggage stored in the empty space will not be visible in the passenger compartment, so the aesthetics of the passenger compartment will not be impaired. Since the storage compartment is configured by utilizing the clearance of, the habitability of the rear seat is not impaired.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a passenger compartment equipped with an embodiment of a rear seat device for a light truck according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.

In these figures, a front seat 1 and a rear seat 2 are provided in the passenger compartment of a small truck. A seat back 2a of a rear seat 2 is attached to the front surface of a back panel 3 which constitutes a rear wall of a vehicle compartment, and a rear end of a seat cushion 2b is attached so as to be capable of jumping up. The floor panel 4 is provided with a concave portion 5 which is openably and closably covered with the seat cushion 2b so that the concave portion 5 can be used as an accessory case.

An upper trim 6 extending along the upper edge of the seat back 2a is provided on the front surface of the back panel 3, and a lower trim 7 extending along the lower edge of the seat back 2a.
Is provided. The upper trim 6 and the lower trim 7 are both made of resin molding material.

The amount of protrusion of the lower trim 7 is made smaller than the amount of protrusion of the seat back 2a to eliminate the feeling of discomfort caused by providing the lower trim 7. Further, by making the lower edge of the lower trim 7 substantially coincide with the upper edge of the rear end of the seat cushion 2b, the space 8 is formed between the back panel 3 and the lower trim 7.
Is formed.

An opening 9 for opening the empty space 8 to the passenger compartment is provided on the front surface of the trim, and a lower edge of a door 10 for opening and closing the opening 9 is attached to the lower edge of the opening 9 via a hinge (not shown). ing. Therefore, when the door 10 is opened and the opening 9 is opened, the void 8 is opened to the passenger compartment through the opening 9, but when the door 10 is closed, the void 8 is shut off from the passenger compartment.

In the rear seat device of the small truck constructed as described above, when the door 10 is opened and closed, the void 8 formed between the back panel 3 and the lower trim 7 can be communicated with or cut off from the passenger compartment. Therefore, open the door and open 8
It can store a long object such as an integrated jack bar. Further, when the door 10 is closed, the contents stored in the empty space 8 become invisible from the passenger compartment, so that the aesthetic appearance of the passenger compartment is not impaired, and moreover, the lower edge of the seat back 2a and the rear end of the seat cushion 2b. Since the storage compartment can be configured using the gap between the upper edges, the comfortability of the rear seat 2 is not impaired.

The door 10 is held in a closed state by a lock mechanism 11 as shown in FIG. 3, for example. Reference numeral 12 is a knob of the lock mechanism 11, and 13 is a latch that is engaged and disengaged by the knob 12, and by attaching an edge protector 14 to the periphery of the door 10, the aesthetic effect is enhanced and the sealing effect of the void 8 is enhanced. I try to raise it.

As shown in FIG. 4, a clip-shaped holder 16 suitable for elastically holding a rod-shaped storage item 15 is attached to the rear wall surface of the void 8 (the front surface of the back panel 3).
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable to provide a holder 17 in which a pair of elastic pressure pinching pieces are arranged close to each other, but these holders 16 and 17 can be attached to the inner surface of the door 10. It should be noted that the form, the mounting position, or the mounting number of the holders 16 and 17 may be selected according to the load (article) stored in the empty space 8.

[0016]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the rear seat device for a small truck according to the present invention, the back panel sandwiched between the lower edge of the seat back of the rear seat and the upper edge of the rear end of the seat cushion. Since a space for storing goods is formed by using the trim that covers the front surface, and the door provided on the front surface of the trim can be opened and closed to allow goods to be taken in and out of the space, the conventional method is the exposed position in the luggage carrier or the passenger compartment. Since the long object that had to be placed in the vehicle can be stored in a state where it cannot be seen from the passenger compartment, the appearance of the passenger compartment is improved. Further, since the storage compartment is configured by utilizing the gap between the lower edge of the seat back and the upper edge of the rear end of the seat cushion, the comfortability of the rear seat is not impaired.
