[0018] A vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Note that the arrows FR, UP, LH, and RH shown in the figures indicate the front, upper, left, and right sides of the seat as seen by an occupant seated in the vehicle seat, respectively. Hereinafter, when the terms "front-rear," "up-down," and "left-right" are used in the description, they will refer to the front-rear direction of the seat, the up-down direction of the seat, and the left-right direction of the seat, unless otherwise specified.

[0019] 1, a vehicle seat 10 of this embodiment includes a seat cushion 12 that supports the buttocks of a seated occupant from below the seat, a seatback 14 that supports the back of the seated occupant from the rear side of the seat, and a headrest 16 that supports the head of the seated occupant from the rear side of the seat. The vehicle seat 10 also includes an ottoman 18 that supports the legs of the seated occupant from below the seat, and a movement limiting device 20 provided on the ottoman 18.

[0020] The seat cushion 12 is formed by attaching a seat cushion pad 22 covered with a skin material to a seat cushion frame that forms the skeleton of the seat cushion 12. As an example, the seat cushion 12 is fixed to a floor 30 of the vehicle body.

[0021] The seat back 14 is formed by attaching a seat back pad 24 covered with an upholstery material to a seat back frame that forms the framework of the seat back 14. As an example, the seat back 14 is supported at the rear end of the seat cushion 12 via a reclining mechanism (not shown). This allows the seat back 14 to tilt in the front-to-rear direction relative to the seat cushion 12.

[0022] The headrest 16 is formed by attaching a headrest pad 26 covered with a skin material to a headrest stay 28. The headrest stay 28 is engaged with the upper end of the seat back 14, thereby supporting the headrest 16 on the seat back 14.

[0023] The ottoman 18 is provided at the end of the seat cushion 12 on the front side of the seat. The ottoman 18 is formed, for example, by attaching a cushion member 32 covered with a skin material to a base member formed in a plate shape. The ottoman 18 shown in FIG. 1 is positioned at a storage position C. When the ottoman 18 is positioned at the storage position C, the ottoman 18 is prevented from coming into contact with the legs of an occupant seated on the seat cushion 12. The ottoman 18 can be tilted upward from the storage position C to a support position where it can support the legs of the seated occupant from below the seat. The ottoman 18 may be tilted manually or electrically from the storage position C to the support position. The ottoman 18 is also provided with a holding mechanism that holds the ottoman 18 in a desired position.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, the movement limiting device 20 includes a storage section 34 fixed to the end of the ottoman 18 opposite the seat cushion 12, a winding member 36 supported by the storage section 34, and a movement limiting member 38, the majority of which is stored within the storage section 34.

[0025] The storage section 34 is formed in a box shape, for example. A pair of left and right bolt insertion holes 42, through which a pair of bolts 40 are respectively inserted, are formed at both left and right ends of the storage section 34. The pair of bolts 40, which are respectively inserted into the pair of left and right bolt insertion holes 42, are screwed into a base member of the ottoman 18, thereby fixing the storage section 34 to the ottoman 18. The storage section 34 also includes a pair of left and right winding member support portions 44 arranged at an interval in the left-right direction.

[0026] The winding member 36 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with its rotation axis extending in the left-right direction. Both left and right ends of the winding member 36 are supported by a pair of left and right winding member support portions 44 of the storage section 34. As a result, the winding member 36 is supported in the storage section 34 so as to be rotatable with the rotation axis extending in the left-right direction. The winding member 36 is also biased to rotate in one direction by a biasing member (not shown).

[0027] The movement limiting member 38 includes a movement limiting member main body 46 and a locking member 48 fixed to an end of the movement limiting member main body 46 .

[0028] The movement limiting member main body 46 is formed in a rectangular shape when stretched out flat. The width dimension W of the movement limiting member main body 46 in the left-right direction is set to correspond to the dimension of the winding member 36 in the rotational axis direction. The length dimension of the movement limiting member main body 46 is set to be several times to several tens of times the width dimension W. One end of the movement limiting member main body 46 is engaged with the winding member 36. As a result, the movement limiting member main body 46 is wound around the winding member 36 from one end side and stored in the storage section 34. A locking member 48 is fixed to the other end of the movement limiting member main body 46. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the movement limiting member main body 46 may be formed in a mesh shape. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the movement limiting member main body 46 may be formed in a sheet shape without holes. As an example, the movement limiting member main body 46 may be formed using a water-repellent sheet that has been treated with a water-repellent finish.

[0029] 2, the locking member 48 includes a locking plate portion 50 that is locked to the other end of the movement-restricting member main body 46, and a pair of locking portions 52 supported by the locking plate portion. The pair of locking portions 52 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and each is formed in a hook shape (J-shape).

[0030] (Actions and Effects of This Embodiment) Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.

[0031] In the vehicle seat 10 shown in FIG. 1, the ottoman 18 is located in the storage position C. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, after luggage 54 is placed on the seat cushion 12, the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is pulled out from the storage portion 34, and the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked with the headrest stays 28. As a result, the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 is covered from the front and top by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. As a result, the movement of the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 to the front and top can be restricted by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38.

[0032] In the vehicle seat 10 shown in FIG. 5 , the ottoman 18 is positioned to protrude upward relative to the upper surface of the seat cushion 12. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 2 , after luggage 54 is placed on the seat cushion 12, the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is pulled out from the storage portion 34, and the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked with the headrest stays 28. This causes the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 to be covered from the front and top by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. As a result, the forward and upward movement of the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 can be restricted by the ottoman 18 and the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. In addition, because the ottoman 18 is positioned to protrude upward relative to the upper surface of the seat cushion 12, the forward movement of the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 can be more reliably restricted compared to when the ottoman 18 is located in the storage position C.

[0033] In the vehicle seat 10 shown in FIG. 6, the ottoman 18 is located at the support position D. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 2, after placing luggage 54 on the seat cushion 12 and the ottoman 18, the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is pulled out from the storage portion 34, and the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked with the headrest stays 28. As a result, the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 and the ottoman 18 is covered from the front and top by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. As a result, the movement of the luggage 54 placed on the seat cushion 12 and the ottoman 18 to the front and top can be restricted by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. Furthermore, since the luggage 54 can also be placed on the ottoman 18, a larger luggage 54 can be placed thereon than when the ottoman 18 is located at the storage position C, etc.

[0034] In the vehicle seat 10 shown in FIG. 7, the ottoman 18 is located in the storage position C. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 2, the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is pulled out from the storage portion 34, and the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked with upper locked portions 56 provided on the upper side of the ottoman 18. Note that the upper locked portions 56 are provided on the roof 58 of the vehicle body, for example. When the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked with the upper locked portions 56, a space 60 above the seat cushion 12 and a space 62 on the front side of the seat cushion 12 are separated in the front-rear direction by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. As a result, the movement of luggage 54 (see FIG. 1, etc.) placed on the seat cushion 12 toward the space 62 on the front side of the seat cushion 12 can be restricted by the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. Furthermore, when the movement restricting member body 46 is formed using a sheet-like member without holes, the effectiveness of air conditioning in the space 62 on the seat front side of the seat cushion 12 can be improved.

[0035] As described above, in the vehicle seat 10 of this embodiment, by adjusting the amount by which the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is pulled out from the storage portion, the locking position of the locking portion 52 of the movement limiting member 38, and the tilting angle of the ottoman 18, the luggage 54 can be appropriately supported depending on the size, shape, etc. of the luggage placed on the seat cushion 12.

[0036] In the vehicle seat 10 shown in FIG. 8, the seat back 14 is tilted forward to a position where the seat back 14 overlaps the seat cushion 12 in the vertical direction. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 2, the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is pulled out from the storage portion 34, and the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked with rear locking portions 64 provided on the vehicle body floor 30 behind the seat cushion 12. When the pair of locking portions 52 are locked with the rear locking portions 64, the seat cushion 12 and the seat back 14 are covered with the movement limiting member main body 46 of the movement limiting member 38. This prevents the seat back 14 from getting dirty when luggage 54 (see FIG. 1, etc.) is placed on the seat back 14. Furthermore, if the movement limiting member main body 46 is made of a water-repellent sheet, the space above the seat back 14 can be used as a water-repellent luggage storage area.

[0037] In the example described above, the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked to the headrest stay 28, the upper locked portion 56, and the rear locked portion 64, but the present invention is not limited to this. The positions of the locked portions to which the pair of locking portions 52 of the movement limiting member 38 are locked may be set appropriately taking into consideration the usability of the movement limiting device 20.

[0038] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the movement limiting member body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is stored in the storage section 34 in a state where it is wound around the winding member 36, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a configuration in which the movement limiting member body 46 of the movement limiting member 38 is stored in the storage section 34 in a folded state may also be used.

[0039] The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above, and it goes without saying that it can be implemented in various other modified forms within the scope of the gist of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
