[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a vehicle in which the vehicle loading seat according to the present invention is mounted; [Figure 2] 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an installation form of a vehicle loading platform seat according to the present invention, in which the front portion of the seat body is attached to a front frame wall of the loading platform; [Figure 3]1 is a perspective view showing an example of an installation form of a vehicle loading seat according to the present invention, in which the seat body is attached to loading side frame portions and loading rear frame portions; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] An example of the mounting configuration of the vehicle loading platform seat according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings (Figs. 1 to 3). The mounting configuration of the vehicle loading platform seat according to the present invention comprises a seat body 21 that is mounted to cover the loading platform 11 of the vehicle 10, utilizing the loading platform front frame wall 12, the loading platform side frame portions 13, 13, and the loading platform rear frame portion 14 that form the surrounding frame of the loading platform 11.

[0015] In the installation form of the vehicle cargo bed sheet of the present invention, the front frame wall surface 12a of the cargo bed front frame wall 12 facing the cargo bed 11 is provided with a clamping lateral groove 15 extending in a groove-like shape so that the sheet material can be clamped, and a plurality of fixing female screws 16 fixed and arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction on the front frame wall surface 12a below the clamping lateral groove 15.

[0016] In the installation form of the vehicle cargo seat of the present invention, a fixing bar 30 is provided with a rod-shaped portion 30a and a bracket portion 30b fixed to the fixing female screw 16 by a fixing bolt 35 so that the sheet material constituting the front portion 22 of the seat body can be clamped along the clamping lateral groove 15.

[0017] The installation configuration of the vehicle cargo bed seat according to the present invention provides the advantageous effect of appropriately utilizing the cargo bed front frame wall 12 and other components that form the surrounding frame of the cargo bed 11 of the vehicle 10, thereby enabling the vehicle cargo bed seat 20 to properly cover the cargo bed 11. That is, according to the present invention, the sheet material constituting the front portion 22 of the seat body 21 is clamped and fixed by the clamping lateral groove 15 on the vehicle 10 and the fixing bar 30 having the rod-shaped portion 30a that is arranged to overlap and fit along the clamping lateral groove 15, thereby enabling easy and secure installation and removal. By fixing the front portion 22 to the cargo bed front frame wall 12, the position of the seat body 21 is determined, which makes it easy to install the seat body 21 over the left and right cargo bed side frame portions 13, 13 and the cargo bed rear frame portion 14, thereby neatly and properly covering the cargo bed 11.

[0018] In this embodiment, raised edges 22a are provided to form inside corners at the left and right corners of the front part 22 of the seat body 21. As shown in Fig. 2, these raised edges 22a are arranged to cover and enclose half of the end of the fixing bar 30.

[0019] This prevents the front portion 22 of the seat body 21 from shifting left or right because the raised edge 22a of the front portion 22 of the seat body 21 is positioned so that its inner corner abuts the end of the fixing bar 30. This allows the seat body 21 to be securely and appropriately attached to the predetermined position of the cargo bed 11.

[0020] In this embodiment, the fixing bar 30 is divided into two parts, left and right, and each of the divided fixing bars 30 is provided with at least two bracket portions 30b corresponding to the plurality of female fixing screws 16. The rod-shaped portion 30a in this embodiment is made of a pipe (steel pipe) in the shape of a long cylinder, and the two bracket portions 30b are welded and fixed to the pipe.

[0021] This shortens the length of each fixing bar 30, improving workability and allowing the front portion 22 of the seat body 21 to be easily and appropriately fixed to the front frame wall portion 12 of the cargo bed. Furthermore, even when the fixing bars 30 are removed, the left and right fixing bars 30 are short, making them easy to store.

[0022] Next, a description will be given of how the seat body 21 is fixed to the left and right bed frame portions 13, 13. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a part of the upper edge of the left and right bed frame portions 13, 13 of the bed 11 of the vehicle 10 is provided by a pipe frame 13a.

[0023] Reference numeral 25 denotes sheet pieces, which are attached in tongue-like fashion to the inside of the left and right side portions 24 of the seat main body 21, and are provided so as to be wound around the pipe frame 13a by turning downward from the inside of the loading platform 11 (see FIG. 3). The sheet pieces 25 of this embodiment are rectangular sheet material, with one side fixed to the inside of the seat main body 21 so that a fixing margin (not shown) extends in a direction parallel to the edge of the seat main body 21, leaving the other side as a free end so that the sheet can be suitably wound around the pipe frame 13a. The fixing margin may be fixed by any known method, such as sewing, bonding, welding, or riveting.

[0024] Reference numeral 25a denotes a hook-and-loop fastener portion on one side of the sheet, which is attached to the tip end of the sheet piece 25 and is arranged so that it appears on the outside when wrapped. In this embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener portion 25a on one side of the sheet is formed in a horizontally long, rectangular shape that extends in the longitudinal direction of the pipe frame 13a and is sewn to the sheet piece 25. This ensures a large area for effective adhesion as a hook-and-loop fastener. Of course, other known methods can be used to fasten the hook-and-loop fastener portion 25a on one side of the sheet to the sheet piece 25.

[0025] Reference numeral 24a denotes a hook-and-loop fastener portion on the seat main body side, which is attached to the inside of the edge portion of the left and right side portions 24 of the seat main body 21 so as to correspond to the hook-and-loop fastener portion 25a on one side of the seat and adhere to each other. The hook-and-loop fastener portion 24a on the seat main body side in this embodiment is formed in a horizontally long, strip-like shape corresponding to the hook-and-loop fastener portion 25a on one side of the seat, and is sewn to the seat main body 21 with its length extending in the longitudinal direction of the pipe frame 13a. This ensures a large area for effective adhesion as a hook-and-loop fastener, just like the hook-and-loop fastener portion 25a on one side of the seat. Of course, other known methods can be used to fasten the hook-and-loop fastener portion 24a on the seat main body side to the seat main body 21.

[0026] According to this embodiment, the pipe frame 13a can be easily and appropriately attached to and detached from the pipe frame 13a arranged to form the upper edge of the surrounding frame of the loading platform 11 of the vehicle 10. Note that each pipe frame 13a in this embodiment is arranged horizontally on the left and right loading platform side frame portions 13, 13, and is provided to form the upper edges of the left and right loading platform side frame portions 13, 13.

[0027] Furthermore, the male and female hook-and-loop fastener portions 24a, 25a mentioned above may be provided so long as the corresponding hook-and-loop fastener portions 24a, 25a are provided with one male and the other female, and it goes without saying that the sheet body 21 and the sheet piece 25 are not limited to either male or female attachment.

[0028] Furthermore, the rear portion of the vehicle loading platform seat 20 of this embodiment is provided so that it can be attached to the vehicle 10 by a rubber rope 40 attached to the rear portion 23 of the seat body 21. As shown in FIG. 3, one side of the rubber rope 40 of this embodiment is attached to an eyelet 23a provided on the edge of the rear portion 23 of the seat body 21, and the other side is provided so that it can be hooked onto a hook portion 14a provided on the loading platform rear frame portion 14. This allows the vehicle loading platform seat 20 (seat body 21) to be attached to the vehicle 10 by pulling it rearward. A pair of rubber ropes 40 is provided in this embodiment.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rear portion 23 of the seat body 21 is provided with an adjustment belt 50 for adjusting the tension of the seat body 21 and a buckle 51, which is a fastener for adjusting and fixing the length of the tensioned portion of the adjustment belt 50. The adjustment belt 50 and the buckle 51 allow the seat body 21 to be fastened in order to prevent the seat body 21 from flapping or to make the inclination of the seat body 21 steeper so that rainwater can be easily drained.

[0030] Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
