[0027] In the following description, the X axis shown in the accompanying drawings is the front-to-rear direction of the seat back, the Y axis is the left-to-right direction of the seat back, and the Z axis is the up-and-down direction of the seat back.

[0028] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, the components included in the seat back 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0029] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the state in which a seat belt V is fastened to the vehicle seat of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the seat back 20 of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the seat back 20 of FIG. 3 in an exploded state.

[0030] The vehicle seat may include a seat frame 10 and a seat back 20 .

[0031] A cushion is mounted on the seat frame 10 to support the buttocks of the occupant, and a seat back 20 to support the back of the occupant.

[0032] The seat back 20 is connected to the seat frame 10, and the seat back 20 may be installed so that its angle with respect to the seat frame 10 is adjustable. Specifically, the first side frame 200 of the seat back 20 may be connected to the seat frame 10 so that its angle with respect to the seat frame 10 is adjustable.

[0033] The upper frame 100 is formed to extend in the left-right direction, and may be disposed spaced apart in the up-down direction from a lower frame 400, which will be described later. The upper frame 100 may connect the first side frame 200 and the second side frame 300 at their upper parts in the left-right direction.

[0034] The first side frame 200 may be coupled to one side of the upper frame 100, and may be formed to extend in the vertical direction.

[0035] The first belt bracket 500 is coupled to a connecting portion of the upper frame 100 and the first side frame 200, and can guide the seat belt V. The first belt bracket 500 can be installed at the upper end portion of the seat back 20.

[0036] The first belt bracket 500 can support the load of the seat belt V passing through the front and rear of the first belt bracket 500. The first belt bracket 500 is connected to the upper frame 100 and the first side frame 200 and can serve to reinforce the upper frame 100 and the first side frame 200.

[0037] The first belt bracket 500 may include a front bracket 510 and a rear bracket 530 .

[0038] The front bracket 510 may be disposed in front of a connecting portion between the upper frame 100 and the first side frame 200. The rear bracket 530 may be manufactured separately from the front bracket 510, coupled to the front bracket 510, and disposed behind the connecting portion between the upper frame 100 and the first side frame 200.

[0039] A belt guide G1 for restricting left-right movement of the seat belt V may be installed on an upper portion of the rear bracket 530. A ring-shaped space through which the seat belt V passes may be formed in the belt guide G1.

[0040] A seat to which the seat back 20 of the present invention is applied is fitted with a three-point seat belt V (see FIG. 2), and the seat frame 10 is configured to rotate, so that all three points, including the first point P1, the second point P2, and the third point P3, which regulate the path of the seat belt V, can be installed on the seat itself.

[0041] One of the three points that regulate the path of the seat belt V may be formed on the first belt bracket 500, and two and three of the three points may be formed on the left and right sides of the seat frame 10, respectively.

[0042] The upper surface of the upper frame 10 may have a straight section at a portion where it enters the first belt bracket 500, and one side surface of the first side frame 200 may have a straight section at a portion where it enters the first belt bracket 500.

[0043] This allows the size of the first belt bracket 500 to be reduced, making it possible to reduce its weight. Furthermore, since the top surface of the upper frame 100 has a straight section, the weight of the upper frame 100 can be reduced.

[0044] The upper surface of the upper frame 100 around the first entry point where the upper frame 100 enters the first belt bracket 500 may have a straight section, and one side of the first side frame 200 around the second entry point where the first side frame 200 enters the first belt bracket 500 may have a straight section.

[0045] For example, the upper frame 100 may be formed to extend in the left-right direction, and the upper surface of the upper frame 100 may be configured with a straight section for half or more of the length of the upper frame 100 in the left-right direction.

[0046] For example, the first side frame 200 may be formed to extend in the vertical direction, and one side of the first side frame 200 may be formed of a straight section for more than half of the vertical length of the first side frame 200.

[0047] Here, the straight section may be a concept including a perfect straight line and a general straight line section including a slight bend in the straight line direction.

[0048] The front bracket 510 may include a front bracket body 511 , a first front flange 513 , and a second front flange 515 .

[0050] The first front flange 513 is formed to extend rearward from one side surface of the front bracket body 511 and may be coupled to the first rear flange 533 of the rear bracket 530. The first front flange 513 may be coupled to the first rear flange 533 and the upper frame 100 simultaneously. The top surface of the upper frame 100, the first front flange 513, and the first rear flange 533 may be coupled to each other in an overlapping state from bottom to top.

[0051] The first front flange 513 may include a first front rearward plate 513a extending rearward from one side of the front bracket body 511 and coupled to the first rearward forward plate 533a of the first rear flange 533, and a first front coupling plate 513b extending from the underside of the first front rearward plate 513a in a direction intersecting with the right side and coupled to the upper surface of the upper frame 100.

[0052] The second front flange 515 may be formed to extend rearward from one side of the front bracket body 511 and may be coupled to the upper frame 100. The second front flange 515 may be coupled to the front surface of the upper frame 100.

[0053] The first front flange 513 may be coupled to the top surface of the upper frame 100 , and the second front flange 515 may be coupled to the front surface of the upper frame 100 .

[0054] The first front flange 513 may include a first front / rearward plate 513a formed to extend rearward from one side of the front bracket body 511 and coupled to the first rear flange 533, and a first front coupling plate 513b formed to extend from the underside of the first front / rearward plate 513a in a direction intersecting with the right side and coupled to the upper surface of the upper frame 100.

[0055] As an example, the second forward flange 515 may be coupled to both the front and lower surfaces of the upper frame 100 .

[0056] The upper frame 100 may have a reinforcing back plate 110 that is installed around the portion connected to the first side frame 200 and reinforces the rear of the upper frame 100. The reinforcing back plate 110 may also be installed around the portion connected to the second side frame 300 and reinforce the rear of the upper frame 100.

For example, two second rear flanges 535 may be disposed spaced apart, and one first rear flange 533 may be disposed.

[0062] The first rear flange 533 may include a first rear advancement plate 533a formed to extend forward from one side of the rear bracket body 531 and coupled to the first front rearward advancement plate 513a, and a first rear connecting plate 533b formed to extend from the underside of the first rear advancement plate 533a in a direction intersecting to the right and coupled to the first front connecting plate 513b of the first front flange 513.

[0063] The first rear connecting plate 533b may be connected to an upper side of the first front connecting plate 513b connected to the upper surface of the upper frame 100. For example, the upper surface of the upper frame 100, the first front connecting plate 513b, and the first rear connecting plate 533b may be connected by welding or the like in a state where they are stacked in the thickness direction from bottom to top.

[0064] The second rear flange 535 is formed to extend forward from one side of the rear bracket body 531 and can be coupled to the reinforcing back plate 110 of the upper frame 100 .

[0065] The second rear flange 535 may include a second rear forward-moving plate 535a formed by extending forward from one side of the rear bracket body 531, and a second rear connecting plate 535b formed by extending outward from the second rear forward-moving plate 535a in a direction intersecting the second rear forward-moving plate 535a and connected to the reinforcing back plate 110.

[0066] An open space is formed between the adjacent second rear flanges 535 and between the second rear flanges 535 and the first rear flange 533, thereby making it possible to reduce the weight of the first belt bracket 500.

[0067] The third rear flange 537 is formed to extend downward from the lower portion of the rear bracket body 531 and can be coupled to the rear of the first side frame 200.

[0068] The front bracket 510 and the rear bracket 530 may have longitudinal reinforcing ribs L protruding from their outer surfaces.

[0069] The vertical reinforcing ribs L may be formed to protrude from the front bracket 510 and the rear bracket 530 and extend in the up-down direction. A plurality of vertical reinforcing ribs L may be installed spaced apart in the left-right direction. For example, three vertical reinforcing ribs L may be arranged spaced apart in the left-right direction.

[0070] The vertical reinforcing ribs L are formed to protrude from the outer surfaces of the front bracket 510 and the rear bracket 530, thereby enabling the rigidity of the front bracket 510 and the rear bracket 530 to be reinforced.

[0071] Furthermore, the vertical reinforcing rib L formed on the rear bracket 530 can not only serve to reinforce the rigidity but also to prevent the seat belt V from slipping in the left-right direction.
