[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-102421 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, there is room for improvement in terms of improving the appearance quality, since the gap between the inner side shield and the frame cover may be visible to vehicle occupants.
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an inside finisher that can improve the appearance quality of a vehicle seat, and a vehicle seat equipped with the inside finisher. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The first type of inside finisher is an inside finisher installed in a vehicle seat in which a bracket connected to the lower end of a back side frame via a recliner is fixed on the inside in the seat width direction relative to the rear end of a cushion side frame, and is equipped with a front finisher part that covers the bracket and the rear end from the inside in the seat width direction and the front side of the seat, and a rear finisher part that is separated from the front finisher part and covers the bracket and the rear end from the inside in the seat width direction and the rear side of the seat, and the gap between the front finisher part and the rear finisher part is covered from the upper side of the seat by the seat back.
[0007] In a vehicle seat equipped with a first aspect of the inside finisher, a bracket connected to the lower end of a back side frame of the seat back via a recliner is positioned inward in the seat width direction relative to the rear end of the cushion side frame of the seat cushion. The inside finisher is divided into a front finisher portion and a rear finisher portion. The front finisher portion covers the rear end of the bracket and cushion side frame from the inner side in the seat width direction and the front side of the seat, while the rear finisher portion covers the rear end of the bracket and cushion side frame from the inner side in the seat width direction and the rear side of the seat. The gap between the front finisher portion and the rear finisher portion is covered from above the seat by the seat back. This improves the appearance quality of the vehicle seat.
[0008] The inside finisher of the second aspect is the same as that of the first aspect, in that the front part of the finisher has a hooking portion that is hooked onto the rear end part from above the seat, an engaging portion that engages with the rear pipe of the seat cushion from above the seat, and an abutting portion that abuts against the rear end part from the inside in the seat width direction.
[0009] In the second embodiment of the inside finisher, the front portion of the finisher has a hook portion, a fitting portion, and an abutment portion. The hook portion is hooked onto the rear end portion of the cushion side frame from above the seat, the fitting portion fits onto the rear pipe of the seat cushion from above the seat, and the abutment portion abuts against the rear end portion of the cushion side frame from inside in the seat width direction. This allows the front portion of the finisher to be temporarily fixed to the cushion side frame without using screws, for example.
[0010] The inside finisher of the third aspect is the first or second aspect, wherein the rear portion of the finisher is fixed to the rear end portion of the sheet with screws from the rear side of the sheet.
[0011] In the inside finisher of the third aspect, the rear part of the finisher is fastened to the rear end of the cushion side frame from the rear side of the seat with screws, so that the assembly work of the rear part of the finisher is easy.
[0012] A fourth aspect of the vehicle seat includes a seat back in which a bracket is connected to the lower end of a back side frame via a recliner, a seat cushion in which the bracket is fixed on the seat widthwise inner side relative to the rear end of the cushion side frame, and an inside finisher of any one of the first to third aspects in which the front part of the finisher covers the bracket and the rear end from the seat widthwise inner side and the front side of the seat, and the rear part of the finisher covers the bracket and the rear end from the seat widthwise inner side and the rear side of the seat.
[0013] In a fourth aspect of the vehicle seat, a bracket connected to the lower end of a back side frame of the seat back via a recliner is fixed to the inside in the seat width direction relative to the rear end of the cushion side frame. The bracket and the rear end of the cushion side frame are covered from the inside in the seat width direction and the front side of the seat by the front part of the inside finisher, and are also covered from the inside in the seat width direction and the rear side of the seat by the rear part of the inside finisher. This inside finisher is any one of the first to third aspects, so the above-mentioned effects can be obtained. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] As described above, according to the present invention, the appearance quality of a vehicle seat can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] First Embodiment A vehicle seat 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 11. Note that in each figure, some reference numerals may be omitted to make the drawings easier to understand. Arrows FR, LH, RH, and UP, which are appropriately depicted in each figure, respectively indicate the front, left, right, and top of the vehicle seat 10. Hereinafter, when the front-rear, left-right, top-bottom directions are used in the description, they will indicate directions relative to the vehicle seat 10.
[0017] 1 to 4, a vehicle seat 10 according to this embodiment includes a seat cushion 12 on which an occupant sits, a seat back 14 that supports the occupant's back, and a headrest (not shown) that supports the occupant's head. The vehicle seat 10 is, for example, a front seat located on the left side of the front part of the passenger compartment of a vehicle. The front-rear, left-right, up-down directions of the vehicle seat 10 coincide with the front-rear, left-right, up-down directions of the vehicle.
[0018] The seat cushion 12 has a seat cushion frame 16 which is a skeletal member, a seat cushion pad 18 which is a cushion material supported by the seat cushion frame 16, and a seat cushion skin 20 which is a skin material covering the seat cushion pad 18.
[0019] The seat cushion frame 16 includes left and right cushion side frames 22 extending in the front-to-rear direction on the left and right sides of the seat cushion 12, a front frame (not shown) connecting the front portions of the left and right cushion side frames 22 in the left-to-right direction, and a rear pipe 24 (see FIG. 7) connecting the rear ends of the left and right cushion side frames 22 in the left-to-right direction. The left and right cushion side frames 22 and the front frame are made of, for example, press-formed metal plate material, and the rear pipe 24 is made of, for example, a metal pipe material. The seat cushion frame 16 is connected to the floor of the vehicle body (not shown) via a well-known lifter mechanism 26 and a well-known slide mechanism 28.
[0020] The seat cushion pad 18 is made of a foam such as urethane foam, and is attached from above to the seat cushion frame 16. The seat cushion cover 20 is made into a bag shape by sewing together multiple cover pieces made of, for example, cloth, leather, synthetic leather, etc., and is placed over the seat cushion pad 18 from above.
[0021] The seat back 14 has a seat back frame 30 which is a skeletal member, a seat back pad 32 which is a cushioning material supported by the seat back frame 30, and a seat back skin 34 which is a skin material covering the seat back pad 32.
[0022] The seatback frame 30 has left and right backside frames 36 that extend in the up-down direction on the left and right sides of the seatback 14, an upper frame (not shown) that connects the upper ends of the left and right backside frames 36 in the left-right direction, and a lower frame (not shown) that connects the lower parts of the left and right backside frames 36 in the left-right direction. The left and right backside frames 36 and the lower frame are made of, for example, press-formed metal plate material, and the upper frame is made of, for example, bent metal pipe material.
[0023] The seatback pad 32 is made of a foam such as urethane foam, and is attached to the front and upper sides of the seatback pad 32. The seatback skin 34 is made into a bag shape by sewing together multiple skin pieces made of, for example, cloth, leather, synthetic leather, etc., and is placed over the seatback pad 32 from above.
[0024] Left and right B brackets 40 are attached to the lower ends of the left and right backside frames 36 via left and right recliners 38 (the right recliner 38 and the right B bracket 40 are not shown). The left and right B brackets 40 each correspond to the "bracket" in this invention.
[0025] The left and right recliners 38 are disk-shaped with their axes aligned in the left-right direction, and are disposed outward in the left-right direction (seat width direction) from the lower ends of the left and right backside frames 36. The left and right recliners 38 are fixed to the left and right backside frames 36 by means such as welding.
[0026] The left and right B brackets 40 are made of, for example, press-formed metal plate material and are disposed on the outside in the left-right direction of the left and right recliners 38. The left and right B brackets are disposed with the left-right direction as the main direction of plate thickness, and are fixed to the left and right recliners 38 by means such as welding.
[0027] The lower ends of the left and right B brackets 40 are overlapped with the rear ends of the left and right cushion side frames 22 from the inside in the seat width direction, and are fixed to the rear ends of the left and right cushion side frames 22 using two front and rear bolts 42 and two front and rear nuts (not shown). In this way, the left and right back side frames 36 (i.e., the seatback frame 30) are connected to the left and right cushion side frames 22 (i.e., the seat cushion frame 16) via the left and right recliners 38 and the left and right B brackets 40.
[0028] The left and right recliners 38 are connected via a reclining rod (not shown), and an operating lever (not shown) is attached to one end of the reclining rod. When this operating lever is operated, the left and right recliners 38 are unlocked, allowing the seatback frame 30 (i.e., the seatback 14) to rotate (tilt) around the axis of the left and right recliners 38 relative to the seat cushion frame 16 (i.e., the seat cushion 12).
[0029] 1 and 2, an outside finisher 44 is provided on the left side of the seat cushion 12, and an outside finisher 46 is provided on the right side of the seat cushion 12. The outside finishers 44, 46 are manufactured by, for example, resin injection molding, and are fixed to the left and right cushion side frames 22 by means of claw fitting or the like. The left and right cushion side frames 22 are covered from the outside in the seat width direction by the outside finishers 44, 46.
[0030] The left outside finisher 44 has a front-to-rear dimension that is approximately the same as the front-to-rear dimension of the seat cushion 12. A protrusion 44A that protrudes upward is provided at the rear end of the left outside finisher 44, and this protrusion 44A covers the left B bracket 40 from the left side. The right outside finisher 46 has a shorter front-to-rear dimension than the left outside finisher 44, and is disposed at the rear of the seat cushion 12. This right outside finisher 46 covers the right B bracket 40 from the right side.
[0031] The rear ends of the left and right B brackets 40 and the left and right cushion side frames 22 are covered from the inside in the seat width direction by left and right inside finishers 50 (see FIGS. 3 to 6; the right inside finisher 50 is not shown). The left and right inside finishers 50 are manufactured by, for example, resin injection molding, and are divided into a finisher front part 52 and a finisher rear part 60.
[0032] The left-side finisher front section 52 and the left-side finisher rear section 60 are fixed to the left-side outside finisher 44 by claw engagement, and the right-side finisher front section 52 and the right-side finisher rear section 60 are fixed to the right-side outside finisher 46 by claw engagement. Note that the left and right inside finishers 50 are formed approximately symmetrically, so the following description will mainly focus on the left-side inside finisher 50.
[0033] As shown in Figures 3 to 7, the finisher front portion 52 has a frame covering portion 52A that covers the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from the front side and the inside in the seat width direction, and a bracket covering portion 52B that covers the B bracket 40 from the front side and the inside in the seat width direction.
[0034] The frame covering portion 52A has a generally triangular shape when viewed in the seat width direction. A hook portion 54 that is hooked from above onto the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 is provided at the front portion of the frame covering portion 52A. A fitting portion 56 that fits onto the rear pipe 24 from above is provided at the rear portion of the frame covering portion 52A. A contact portion 58 that abuts against the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from the inside in the seat width direction is provided at the middle portion of the frame covering portion 52A in the front-to-rear direction.
[0035] The hook portion 54 extends outward in the seat width direction from the upper end of the front portion of the frame covering portion 52A and has a generally inverted U-shape when viewed from the front-rear direction. The fitting portion 56 has a semicircular notch 56A into which the rear pipe 24 fits. The abutting portion 58 is, for example, formed of a plurality of ribs 58A arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. These ribs 58A are provided in positions so as not to interfere with the sector gear 27 of the lifter mechanism 26 or the B bracket 40. The abutting portion 58 may be boss-shaped.
[0036] The bracket covering portion 52B extends upward and rearward from a middle portion of the frame covering portion 52A in the front-rear direction. The bracket covering portion 52B has a generally arcuate shape that is curved forward and upward when viewed in the seat width direction.
[0037] The finisher rear portion 60 has a frame covering portion 60A that covers the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from the rear side and the inside in the seat width direction, and a bracket covering portion 60B that covers the B bracket 40 from the rear side and the inside in the seat width direction.
[0038] A frame fixing portion 62, which protrudes forward in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, is provided in the vertical middle of the frame covering portion 60A. A screw insertion hole 62A (see FIG. 10) penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the bottom wall of this frame fixing portion 62. A screw 64 (see FIG. 10) is inserted into this screw insertion hole 62A and threadedly engages with a screw hole 22A (see FIG. 10) formed in the rear end of the cushion side frame 22, thereby fixing the frame covering portion 52A (i.e., the finisher rear portion 60) to the cushion side frame 22.
[0039] The bracket covering portion 60B extends upward and forward from the upper end of the frame covering portion 60A. The bracket covering portion 60B has a generally arcuate shape that is curved upward and rearward when viewed in the seat width direction.
[0040] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, a small gap 66 is provided between the bracket covering portion 52B of the finisher front portion 52 and the bracket covering portion 60B of the finisher rear portion 60. This gap 66 is located slightly rearward of the center of the recliner 38. This gap 66 is located below a step portion 14A formed in the lower portion of the side surface of the seat back 14, and is covered from above by the seat back 14. The seat back 14 tilts forward and backward relative to the seat back 14 when the recliner 38 is unlocked, and the gap 66 is configured to be covered from above by the seat back 14 throughout the entire tilting range of the seat back 14.
[0041] When the vehicle seat 10 having the above configuration is manufactured, for example, the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14 are each sub-assembled separately on a sub-line, and these sub-assemblies are assembled on a main line. When the sub-assembly of the seat cushion 12 is manufactured, the finisher front portion 52 is temporarily fixed to the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 of the seat cushion frame 16, as shown in Fig. 7. Specifically, the hook portion 54 of the finisher front portion 52 is hooked onto the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from above, the fitting portion 56 of the finisher front portion 52 is fitted into the rear pipe 24 from above, and the abutment portion 58 of the finisher front portion 52 is abutted against the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from the inside in the seat width direction.
[0042] 8, the seat cushion pad 18 is attached to the seat cushion frame 16, and the seat cushion cover 20 is placed on the seat cushion pad 18. As a result, the seat cushion pad 18, covered with the seat cushion cover 20, urges the finisher front portion 52 outward and downward in the seat width direction (see arrows E1 and E2 in FIG. 8), and the finisher front portion 52 is restrained by the cushion side frame 22.
[0043] Next, as shown in Fig. 9, the subassembly of the seat back 14, in which the recliner 38 and the B bracket 40 are attached to the lower end of the backside frame 36, is assembled to the subassembly of the seat cushion 12 from the rear side (see arrow A in Fig. 9). At this time, the recliner 38 is inserted from the rear side between the rear end of the cushion side frame 22 and the bracket covering portion 52B of the finisher front portion 52, and the lower end of the B bracket 40 is overlapped with the rear end of the cushion side frame 22 from the inside in the seat width direction. Then, the B bracket 40 is fastened and fixed to the cushion side frame 22 using two front and rear bolts 42 and two front and rear nuts.
[0044] As described above, when the subassembly of the seat back 14 is assembled to the subassembly of the seat cushion 12, the finisher front part 52 is properly positioned with respect to the cushion side frame 22 by the abutment part 58, so that the occurrence of wrinkles in the seat cushion skin 20 is prevented and the subassembly of the seat cushion 12 does not need to be reworked.
[0045] 10, the finisher rear portion 60 is fixed to the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 using screws 64 (see arrow F in FIG. 10). Thereafter, the outside finisher 44 is attached to the cushion side frame 22, and the finisher front portion 52 and the finisher rear portion 60 are fixed to the outside finisher 44 by claw engagement. Note that the same assembly as above is performed on the right side of the vehicle seat 10.
[0046] Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described. In the vehicle seat 10 configured as described above, the B bracket 40, which is connected to the lower end of the back side frame 36 of the seat back 14 via the recliner 38, is fixed to the inside in the seat width direction relative to the rear end of the cushion side frame 22. This makes it difficult for the B bracket 40 to deform due to the load applied to the seat back frame 30 during a vehicle collision, and makes it possible to efficiently distribute the load toward the seat cushion frame 16. As a result, deformation of the seat back frame 30 and the seat cushion frame 16 can be easily suppressed.
[0047] Furthermore, in this vehicle seat 10, the rear ends of the B bracket 40 and the cushion side frame 22 are covered from the inside and front side in the seat width direction by the finisher front portion 52 of the inside finisher 50, and are also covered from the inside and rear side in the seat width direction by the finisher rear portion 60 of the inside finisher 50. A gap 66 between the finisher front portion 52 and the finisher rear portion 60 is covered from above by the seat back 14. This makes it possible to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle seat 10.
[0048] Furthermore, with this vehicle seat 10, the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14 can be sub-assembled on separate sub-lines, and then these sub-assemblies can be assembled on the main line. On each sub-line, the seat cushion upholstery 20 and the seat back upholstery 34 can be finished while they are fixed to the seat cushion frame 16 and the seat back frame 30 and under tension. This allows finishing to be applied to areas that are difficult to finish in the assembled state of the vehicle seat 10, improving the level of the appearance finish of the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14. This also improves the appearance quality of the vehicle seat 10 and makes it possible to reduce the overall number of finishing steps.
[0049] The above-mentioned effect will be further explained with reference to Figs. 11 to 14. Note that arrow A shown in Figs. 12 and 14 indicates the assembly direction of the B bracket 40 to the cushion side frame 22. In the comparative example shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the B bracket 40 is fixed to the rear end of the cushion side frame 22 on the outer side in the seat width direction. Therefore, the B bracket 40 is deformed by the load applied to the seat back frame 30 during a vehicle collision, and it becomes impossible to efficiently distribute the load toward the seat cushion frame 16. As a result, the deformation amounts of the seat back frame 30 and the seat cushion frame 16 become large.
[0050] In this comparative example, the inside finisher 70 is divided into an upper finisher section 72 and a lower finisher section 74. The upper finisher section 72 is attached to the seat cushion frame 16 to which the lower finisher section 74 is attached, after which the seat back frame 30 is attached. The seat cushion pad 18 and the seat back pad 32 are then attached to the seat cushion frame 16 and the seat back frame 30, and the seat cushion cover 20 and the seat back cover 34 are then placed over the seat cushion pad 18 and the seat back pad 32. This makes it impossible to sub-assemble the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14 on separate sub-lines, making it difficult to improve the appearance of the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14. Furthermore, any gaps or unevenness between the upper finisher section 72 and the lower finisher section 74 are visible to passengers, resulting in a deterioration in the appearance quality.
[0051] In this regard, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the B bracket 40 is fixed to the rear end of the cushion side frame 22 on the inner side in the seat width direction, so that the collision load can be distributed efficiently. Also, the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14 can be sub-assembled on the sub-lines, so that the appearance quality of the vehicle seat 10 can be improved. Furthermore, the gap 66 between the finisher front portion 52 and the finisher rear portion 60 is covered by the seat back 14, so that the gap 66 is not visible to the occupant, which also improves the appearance quality of the vehicle seat 10.
[0052] In this embodiment, the finisher front section 52 has a hook portion 54, a fitting portion 56, and an abutment portion 58. The hook portion 54 is hooked onto the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from above, the fitting portion 56 is fitted onto the rear pipe 24 from above, and the abutment portion 58 abuts against the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from the inside in the seat width direction. This allows the finisher front section 52 to be temporarily fixed to the cushion side frame 22 without changing the shape of the cushion side frame 22 or adding special parts, and without using screws or the like. On the other hand, the finisher rear section 60 is fastened to the rear end portion of the cushion side frame 22 from the rear side with screws, making assembly of the finisher rear section 60 easy.
[0053] <Second embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 15 to 18. Note that the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are used for configurations and operations that are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.
[0054] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the abutment portion 58' of the finisher front portion 52' includes a rib 58B extending substantially in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, a rib 58C is also formed between the frame covering portion 52A and the bracket covering portion 52B in the finisher front portion 52'. After the subassembly of the seat back 14 is assembled to the subassembly of the seat cushion 12, the finisher front portion 52' is inserted from above between the cushion side frame 22, the B bracket 40, and the seat cushion pad 18 (see arrow P1 in FIG. 16), and then slid rearward (see arrow P2 in FIG. 16). At this time, the insertion of the finisher front portion 52 is guided by the sliding contact between the bracket 76 (see FIG. 17) attached to the cushion side frame 22 and the rib 58B.
[0055] When the above insertion is completed, the seat cushion pad 18 covered with the seat cushion cover 20 urges the finisher front portion 52' toward the cushion side frame 22 (see arrow E3 in FIG. 18), so that the rib 58B abuts against the cushion side frame 22 from the inside in the seat width direction, and the rib 58C abuts against the B bracket 40 from the inside in the seat width direction. This positions the finisher front portion 52' in the seat width direction. In this way, the assembly of the finisher front portion 52' is performed after the subassembly of the seat back 14 is assembled to the subassembly of the seat cushion 12, making the assembly work easier.
[0056] Although the present invention has been described above using two embodiments, the present invention can be practiced with various modifications within the scope of the gist thereof. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
