Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a half seat cover for vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent vehicle seat backs from getting dirty or scratched, vehicle half-seat covers are sometimes fitted (installed) on the vehicle seat backs. These vehicle half-seat covers are components that cover the upper half of the seat back, hereinafter referred to as "half-seat covers".

[0003] Typically, seat backrests need to be able to stably support the upper body of the occupant. Specifically, when the vehicle is turning, the seat backrest should be able to stably support the upper body of the occupant, ensuring that the upper body of the occupant (especially the driver) does not sway significantly in the width of the vehicle.

[0004] To meet this need, one technical solution involves incorporating occupant support sections on the half-seat cover. When the half-seat cover is mounted on the seat back, these support sections are located on either side of the occupant, providing support for their upper body. These support sections are configured to bulge forward from the front of the half-seat cover and possess high rigidity. Using this type of half-seat cover equipped with occupant support sections provides relatively stable support for the occupant's upper body.

[0005] However, due to the high rigidity of the occupant support, these half-seat covers have poor longitudinal (vehicle height) flexibility. Therefore, when fitting the half-seat cover, if it is slipped down from the top of the seat back using the conventional method, a considerable amount of space is required above the seat back because the height cannot be shortened by bending the half-seat cover. Thus, if the vehicle does not have sufficient space above the seat back, it is difficult to fit a half-seat cover with occupant support onto the seat back. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above situation, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle half seat cover that can be easily installed on the seat back, even though it is equipped with a passenger support part.

[0007] As a technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a vehicle half-seat cover for covering the seat back of a vehicle seat. The half-seat cover is characterized by comprising a flexible strip-shaped covering body and an occupant support portion disposed on the covering body. The half-seat cover can be rolled up with the covering body in a horizontal direction to wrap around the seat back, and its two ends in the horizontal direction are connected to each other. The occupant support portion is mounted on the seat back in a state where it protrudes from the covering body toward the front of the vehicle and is located at the horizontal end of the seat back.

[0008] The advantage of this vehicle half-seat cover with the above-described structure is that it can be easily fitted onto the seat back even when equipped with an occupant support. Specifically, since the covering body is a flexible strip-shaped component, during the assembly of the vehicle half-seat cover, the covering body can be rolled horizontally around the seat back and the two ends connected to each other. Therefore, although the longitudinal flexibility is reduced due to the occupant support, since it does not need to be slipped on from top to bottom as with existing vehicle half-seat covers, it can be easily fitted onto the seat back even when the space above the seat back is small.

[0009] In addition, in the above-mentioned vehicle half-seat cover of the present invention, it is preferred that the occupant support part includes a support pad receiving part disposed on the back of the covering body and a support pad disposed in the support pad receiving part.

[0010] Based on this structure, when the vehicle half-seat cover is installed on the seat back, the support pad is covered by the main body, so it does not affect the aesthetics of the vehicle half-seat cover.

[0011] In addition, in the above-mentioned vehicle half-seat cover of the present invention, it is preferred that the support pad receiving portion is configured as a pocket shape with an opening at the top, and the support pad can be inserted or removed from the opening of the support pad receiving portion.

[0012] Based on this structure, the type of support pad disposed within the support pad holder can be easily changed. For example, various support pads can be prepared that can create different raised shapes or provide different levels of support on the front of the cover body, allowing occupants to select their preferred support pad and place it in the support pad holder according to their needs. Thus, the same half-seat cover can meet different requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is described as an example of a vehicle half-seat cover for a driver's seat, but the present invention is not limited thereto and is also applicable to half-seat covers for other seats (such as the front passenger seat).

[0019] Before describing the half-seat cover of this embodiment, the structure of the seat that requires the half-seat cover will be briefly described first.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a seat (vehicle seat) 1 equipped with the half-seat cover 2 of this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, seat 1 includes seat cushion 1a, seat back 1b, and headrest 1c, etc.

[0021] Seat 1 is mounted on the vehicle floor panel (not shown) via seat sliding unit 11. Seat sliding unit 11 consists of seat rail 11a and seat slider 11b. Seat rail 11a is fixed to the floor panel, and seat slider 11b engages with and slides along seat rail 11a. Seat slider 11b is mounted on seat cushion 1a via a lower arm (not shown). Furthermore, seat 1 is equipped with an angle adjustment device for adjusting the tilt angle of seat back 1b relative to the vehicle's length.

[0022] Next, the half-seat cover 2 assembled onto seat 1 will be described. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the half-seat cover 2 is a component that covers the upper part of the seat back 1b.

[0023] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the half-seat cover 2 in this embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the half-seat cover 2 includes a main body 3 and two occupant support parts 4.

[0024] The covering body 3 has a specified width dimension (the length dimension in the vertical direction when mounted on the seat back 1b) and can be mounted on the seat back 1b by wrapping around the upper part of the seat back 1b in the horizontal direction (vehicle width direction).

[0025] The covering body 3 is a flexible strip-shaped component made of, for example, synthetic resin or genuine leather. The length dimension of the covering body 3 (the circumferential dimension in the horizontal direction when assembled with the seat back 1b) is set to be slightly larger than the circumferential dimension of the seat back 1b in the horizontal direction, that is, a dimension sufficient to cover the seat back 1b in the horizontal direction.

[0026] More specifically, the covering body 3 includes: a front covering 31 located on the front side of the seat back 1b when it is mounted on the seat back 1b; a rear covering 32 located on the rear side of the seat back 1b; a left covering 33 located on the left side of the seat back 1b; a right covering 34 located on the right side of the seat back 1b; and a Velcro part 35 connected to the right covering 34.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the half-seat cover 2 can be fixed to the seat back 1b using Velcro fasteners. Specifically, the right side surface of the rear cover portion 32 of the half-seat cover 2 is the loop side of the Velcro fastener, and the back side of the Velcro portion 35 is the hook side. During assembly, the cover body 3 is wrapped around the upper half of the seat back 1b, and the back side of the Velcro portion 35 overlaps with the right side surface of the rear cover portion 32. Through the adhesion of the loop and hook sides, the Velcro portion 35 is connected to the rear cover portion 32, thus fixing the half-seat cover 2 to the seat back 1b. However, this is not a limitation; alternatively, the right side surface of the rear cover portion 32 can be a hook side, and the back side of the Velcro portion 35 can be a loop side.

[0028] Figure 3 This is a rear view of the half-seat cover 2 in its unfolded state, showing the back side of the half-seat cover 2 (i.e., the side that rests against the seat back 1b). Figure 3 As shown, a passenger support part 4 is provided at each of the two locations on the back of the front cover 31 of the half seat cover 2. The two passenger support parts 4 are located at the two ends of the seat back 1b in the horizontal direction when the half seat cover 2 is mounted on the seat back 1b, that is, exactly on both sides of the passenger and in a position that allows the passenger support parts 4 to stably support the upper body of the passenger.

[0029] Since the two occupant support parts 4 have the same structure, only one of the occupant support parts 4 will be described below.

[0030] The occupant support 4 includes a support pad receiving portion 41 and a support pad 42 disposed within the support pad receiving portion 41.

[0031] The support pad receiving portion 41 is constructed by sewing an approximately rectangular pocket fabric 41a onto the back of the front cover portion 31. The lower edge, right edge, and left edge of the pocket fabric 41a are sewn onto the front cover portion 31, thereby forming a space between the pocket fabric 41a and the cover body 3 for placing the support pad 42.

[0032] The support pad 42 is disposed within the support pad receiving portion 41, specifically, as Figure 3 As indicated by the arrow in the diagram, the support pad 42 can be inserted from above into the space between the pocket cloth 41a and the covering body 3.

[0033] The support pad 42 is made of rigid sponge made of polyurethane, polyethylene, rubber, etc., and has a certain supporting strength. The shape of the support pad 42 is, for example, an elliptical cylinder, but it is not limited to this and can be set arbitrarily according to the requirements.

[0034] In addition, various types of support pads 42 can be prepared in advance, for example, Figure 3 The thick support pad 42 shown has a larger thickness dimension. Figure 4 The thin support pad 42' shown has a smaller thickness dimension. The choice of which support pad 42 (42') to place in the support pad receiving part 41 depends on the needs of the occupant. If the occupant requires high support strength (to be able to support the upper body very stably), a thick support pad 42 can be selected to be placed in the support pad receiving part 41; if the occupant does not require high support strength, a thin support pad 42' can be selected to be placed in the support pad receiving part 41.

[0035] Next, the steps for assembling the half-seat cover 2 onto the seat back 1b will be explained.

[0036] First, according to the needs of the occupants, select the required support pad 42 (42') and place it into the support pad receiving part 41 of the half-seat cover 2 (see Figure 3 , Figure 4 ). Subsequently, as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 3 of the half-seat cover 2 is wrapped around the upper part of the seat back 1b, ensuring that the front cover 31 is located at the front of the seat back 1b. Then, as... Figure 2 As shown, the Velcro portion 35 overlaps with the surface of the right side of the rear cover portion 32, thereby connecting the right side of the rear cover portion 32 and the Velcro portion 35 in a fitted manner, thus fixing the half seat cover 2 to the seat back 1b.

[0037] As mentioned above, the existing method for assembling a half-seat cover involves slipping it down from the top of the seat back. However, half-seat covers equipped with occupant support are less flexible in the height direction and cannot be shortened by bending. Therefore, if there is not enough space above the seat back, it is difficult to assemble the half-seat cover.

[0038] In contrast, the half-seat cover 2 in this embodiment is assembled by rolling the half-seat cover 2 horizontally onto the seat back 1b. Therefore, even if the space above the seat back 1b is small, the half-seat cover 2 can be easily assembled onto the seat back 1b. That is, based on the structure of this embodiment, the half-seat cover 2 equipped with the occupant support 4 can be easily assembled onto the seat back 1b.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the occupant support 4 is constructed by placing the support pad 42 inside the support pad receiving portion 41 on the back of the covering body 3. Since the support pad 42 is covered by the covering body 3, it does not affect the aesthetics of the half seat cover 2.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, occupants can choose from a variety of support pads (42, 42') to select the type that best suits their desired support effect and place it into the support pad receiving part 41, thus the same half-seat cover 2 can meet different needs.

[0041] Next, a modified example of this utility model will be described. The only difference between this modified example and the above embodiment is the number of occupant support parts 4. The structure is the same as the above embodiment, so only the number of occupant support parts 4 will be described below.

[0042] Figure 5 This is a rear view of the half-seat cover 2 in its unfolded state, showing the rear side of the half-seat cover 2. Figure 5 As shown, in this modified example, the half-seat cover 2 is configured such that four occupant support portions 4 are provided on the back of the front cover portion 31.

[0043] With this structure, support pads of different shapes (42, 42') can be installed in the support pad receiving portion 41 of each occupant support portion 4, thereby achieving different support performance on both sides of the occupant's shoulders and both sides of the abdomen. Figure 5 The example shown is in which thin support pads 42' are installed in each support pad receiving portion 41.

[0044] However, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and can be appropriately modified according to needs. For example, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the support pad 42 can be removed from the support pad receiving portion 41 for replacement, but if it is not necessary to replace the support pad 42, the support pad 42 can also be fixed in the support pad receiving portion 41 so that it cannot be removed.

[0045] Furthermore, in the above embodiments and modifications, the support pads (42, 42') are configured such that their cross-sectional shape (the cross-section parallel to the horizontal direction) is uniform (i.e., the cross-sectional shape is the same at different height positions). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the support pads (42, 42') may also be configured such that their cross-sectional shape is not uniform.
