Description

[0001] The invention relates to a seating device for a motor vehicle and to a motor vehicle with such a seating device.

[0002] Seating devices for motor vehicles are known from the prior art in which a seat component can be moved from a seated position, in which a vehicle occupant can sit on the seat, to a release position in which the seat component is pivoted relative to the seated position. In this release position, a box located under the seat component is released, in which objects can be placed and removed.

[0003] Furthermore, folding seat devices are known in which a seat part is folded up towards the backrest when not in use, thereby freeing up additional storage space on the vehicle floor.

[0004] One object of an embodiment of the invention is to propose a seating device for a motor vehicle and a motor vehicle with such a seating device in which the possibility of storing and carrying additional objects is extended.

[0005] This problem is solved by a seating device for a motor vehicle, which has a vehicle floor and a vehicle console, with at least one backrest against which a user can be arranged with their back against it, with at least one seat section which is fixed to the vehicle floor and which can be converted from a seating position in which a seat surface of the seat section is arranged parallel or obliquely to the vehicle floor and a user can be arranged with their buttocks on it, by rotating or pivoting about a first axis of rotation and / or pivoting into a functional position in which a functional surface of the seat section, extending transversely or obliquely to the seat surface, runs parallel or obliquely to the vehicle floor and is spaced apart from the vehicle floor without contact, and with at least one storage means which can be fixed or is fixed in a storage arrangement on or at the functional surface of the seat section, at least in the functional position of the seat section.in which the storage device has a storage surface parallel or at an angle to the vehicle floor and extends at least from the seat section towards the backrest.

[0006] Because the storage tray extends towards the backrest with a surface running parallel or diagonally to the vehicle floor, items can be placed on it. This provides not only the space on the vehicle floor, which is freed up by moving the seat from the sitting position to the functional position, but also the storage surface of the tray itself. This offers an additional storage option.

[0007] The storage device can be attached exclusively to or on the functional surface of the seat cushion and must be positioned without contact with the vehicle console and / or the backrest of the seat. This reduces the risk of damage, particularly from abrasion, to the vehicle console and the backrest of the seat.

[0008] In certain embodiments of the seat device, the storage element may be designed to rest in contact with the vehicle console and / or the backrest, bearing the load, and in particular to be fixed to the vehicle console and / or the backrest. In such an embodiment, the storage element is supported not only by its connection to the functional surface of the seat but also by the vehicle console and / or the backrest of the seat device.

[0009] It proves advantageous if the seat part is spaced away from the back part without contact in the functional position and / or if the seat part is arranged with the seat surface facing towards or away from the back part in the functional position.

[0010] When the seat is in its functional position with the seat surface facing the backrest, the seat moves towards the backrest when transitioning from the sitting position to the functional position. Conversely, when the seat is in its functional position with the seat surface facing away from the backrest, the seat moves away from the backrest when transitioning from the sitting position to the functional position.

[0011] When the seat is positioned so that it does not touch the backrest, a space is formed between the seat and backrest.

[0012] In one embodiment of the seating device, this includes a storage section of the vehicle floor which, in the functional position of the seat part, is directly accessible from the outside or by means of a housing-like storage device, such as a box or crate, which, in the functional position of the seat part, is accessible from the outside and which, in the seated position, is covered by the seat part.

[0013] This provides additional storage space between the seat (in its functional position) and the backrest, supplementing the storage area of ​​the tray. This further increases the possibilities for transporting and storing items.

[0014] In order to guide the seat component from the seating position to the functional position and to be able to arrange the seat component in a load-bearing position in both the seating position and the functional position, at least one locking device is provided in one embodiment of the seat device, which includes at least one bearing unit by which the seat component is rotatably and / or pivotably fixed to the vehicle floor about the first axis of rotation and / or pivoting, and which includes at least one locking unit by which the seat component can be manually releasably locked or fixed to the vehicle floor in the seating position and / or by which the seat component can be manually releasably locked or fixed to the vehicle floor in the functional position.

[0015] The bearing unit guides the seat component, and the first pivot and / or swivel axis can be fixed to the vehicle floor in a rotatable and / or pivotable manner. The bearing unit can be designed in a hinge-like fashion.

[0016] The locking unit can be designed like a lock, whereby the seat part locks to the vehicle floor in the sitting position and can be manually released from the locking position in the functional position.

[0017] In order to secure the storage device to the seat part in a load-bearing manner, it proves advantageous if the seat device comprises at least one fastening device which includes at least one fastening means on the storage device or on the functional surface of the seat part and which includes at least one receptacle arranged on the functional surface of the seat part or on the storage device in or on which the fastening means can be detachably fixed in the functional position.

[0018] The word "beziehungsweise" is used here in its etymological sense. In this context, "beziehungsweise" does not mean "or," but rather "and in the other case."

[0019] The fastening element can, for example, be foot-shaped and secured in the receptacle by a positive fit. This allows the storage element to be fixed exclusively to the functional surface of the seat section and to be positioned in the storage arrangement without contact with the vehicle console and backrest.

[0020] The storage device can comprise a component stored separately from the seat. The storage device can be stored between the seat and the vehicle floor when the seat is in its upright position.

[0021] In one embodiment of the seating device, it proves advantageous if at least one of the at least one storage means is rotatably and / or pivotably fixed to the seat part about a second rotational and / or pivoting axis and can be transferred from a storage arrangement, in which the storage means rests on the seat part, in particular flatly, into the storage arrangement, in particular rotatably or pivotably, and fixed therein.

[0022] If the storage device is fixed to the seat part in a way that allows it to be rotated and / or pivoted about a second axis of rotation and / or swivel, it can be moved with the seat part from the sitting position to the functional position and there from the storage arrangement to the storage arrangement and fixed in place.

[0023] Alternatively or additionally, in an embodiment of the seating device, it may be provided that at least one of the at least one storage means is translationally movable, in particular telescopically movable, and is fixed in or on the seat part and can be transferred from a storage arrangement, in which the storage means is arranged at least partially within the seat part, into the storage arrangement, in particular translationally movable, and fixed therein.

[0024] In such a case, the storage device can be arranged entirely or at least partially within the seat part in the storage arrangement and, when the seat part is in the functional position, be moved out of the seat part and transferred to the storage arrangement.

[0025] In such a case, the storage device can be telescopically designed, in particular comprising a telescopic support structure. The storage surface can, for example, be formed by a textile or by support elements that can be folded out and stored again in a slatted or blind-like manner.

[0026] In particular, if the storage device comprises a component separate from the seat part and stored separately, it proves advantageous if at least one of the at least one storage device comprises a planar plate element and / or if at least one of the at least one storage device comprises a box-like container whose bottom surface is formed by the storage surface.

[0027] If the storage medium comprises a flat plate element, the storage medium can be designed in a table-like form.

[0028] If the storage device includes a box-like container, objects can be arranged inside it and held against movement from the storage device, for example by acceleration, braking or cornering of the motor vehicle at or in the storage device.

[0029] The seat component can, in principle, be designed in any way. In one embodiment of the seat device, it proves advantageous if the seat component comprises a seat structure that rests against the vehicle floor in the seated position, and if the seat component includes a seat cushion that, in the seated position, is fixed to the seat component on the side of the seat component facing away from the vehicle floor and that comprises the seating surface.

[0030] Because the seat includes a seat cushion that rests on the seat structure, a high level of seating comfort can be achieved when sitting on the seat.

[0031] Finally, the task is solved by a motor vehicle with a vehicle floor, a vehicle console and a seating device with at least one of the aforementioned features.

[0032] Further features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the attached patent claims, the graphic representation and the following description of a preferred embodiment of the seating device.
