It is characterized by the following: or Mats are laid on the backrest and seat members of the additional sofa which have been made flat, as well as on the backrest and seat of the pair of sofas. It is characterized by the following: [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The present invention provides an excellent feature: even in campervans that are not large and do not have much interior space, a pair of sofas can be installed behind the driver's seat while driving, and when parked, they can be reassembled into an extra sofa behind the driver's seat where a large number of people can relax. Furthermore, when it is time to sleep, the extra sofa can be reassembled into an extra bed with a large floor surface, thus providing an extra sofa and bed for campervans that can be equipped with both an extra sofa and an extra bed simultaneously.

[0008] In other words, according to the present invention, the vehicle can be reassembled from a "driving position" during normal operation, that is, a position with a pair of sofas in the space behind the driver's and passenger's seats, to an "extra sofa position" where, for example, an additional sofa can be assembled and added behind the driver's and passenger's seats during relaxation time when the vehicle is stopped, forming an extra sofa that forms a roughly U-shape with the aforementioned pair of sofas. From this "extra sofa position," it can be reassembled into an "extra bed position" where it can be reassembled into an extra bed with a large floor surface behind the driver's and passenger's seats.

[0009] In other words, in the "Extra Bed Position," similar to the "Extra Sofa Position," the backs of the driver's and passenger's seats are tilted slightly forward, and the backrest and seat components of the additional sofa used in the "Extra Sofa Position" are placed flat against the backs of these seats. Furthermore, the backrests and seats of the pair of sofas, which are arranged facing each other in the width direction of the vehicle, are unfolded flat using a separate mechanism. As a result, all surfaces, including the backrests and seats of the facing pair of sofas, the backrest and seat components of the additional sofa, and the upper surfaces of the armrests of the facing pair of sofas, become flat, creating a spacious extra bed area that can be used as a bed.

Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

[0012] The present invention employs a gimmick that can be assembled and changed to the driving position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the extra sofa position shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, and the extra bed position shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, respectively.

[0013] That is, the present invention provides a predetermined mechanism in a pair of sofas 3 and the like to change the positions of the driver's seat 1 and the passenger seat 2, the backrests 4 of the pair of sofas 3, and the seat surfaces 7, so that even within the limited space of the camping car, the layout can be changed to suit various uses. This is the central feature of the present invention.

[0014] First, the layout of the basic driving position will be described based on FIG. 1.

[0015] In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 indicates the driver's seat, and reference numeral 2 indicates the passenger seat. Note that in some countries, the positions of the driver's seat 1 and the passenger seat 2 may be reversed.

[0016] And in the space behind the driver's seat 1 and the passenger seat 2, a pair of sofas 3 are installed on both sides in the width direction of the vehicle body, and the respective sofas 3 are equipped so as to face each other.

[0017] Also, as understood from FIGS. 1 to 3, a predetermined interval is provided between the back surfaces of the backrests 4 of the driver's seat 1 and the passenger seat 2 and the pair of sofas 3. Within this interval, a small table 10 for the pair of sofas 3 is locked to the locking portions 14 (see FIG. 4) provided on the holding member 11 and the armrest members 12 of the pair of sofas 3, held horizontally, and attached respectively.

[0018] Next, we will explain the state when the layout has been changed from the drive position layout during normal operation, as described above, to the extra sofa position layout, based on Figures 4 to 7. Note that when the layout is changed to the extra sofa position, it is usually used when the campervan is parked.

[0019] As can be seen from Figures 4 to 7, the backrests 4 of the driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2 are tilted forward at a predetermined angle. Here, the backrest members 5 and seat members 13 used for the additional sofa 6, which will be described later, are pre-attached to the back of the backrests 4 of the driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2, overlapping them. The backrest members 5 and seat members 13 overlapping the back of the backrests 4 are configured to become the backrest and seat of the additional sofa 6, respectively. In other words, the backrest members 5 and seat members 13 are pivotally connected at their lower ends in the width direction so that they can rotate. When changing to the extra sofa position, the pivotally connected parts can be rotated around the pivot axis, allowing the additional sofa 6 shown in Figure 4 to be easily installed on the back of the driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2.

[0020] Reference numeral 8 indicates a mat, which, when laid on top of the backrest member 5 and seat member 13 of the additional sofa 6, creates an additional sofa 6 with a comfortable backrest and seat. As shown in Figures 4 to 6, by forming the additional sofa 6, a large U-shaped extra sofa where many people can relax can be easily assembled behind the driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2.

[0021] Next, the state in which the unit can be reassembled from the extra sofa position to the extra bed position will be explained with reference to Figures 8 to 10.

[0022] First, as shown in Figure 8, the backrest member 5 and seat member 13 to be used for the additional sofa 6 are formed into a flat shape and installed horizontally, straddling the locking portion 9 provided on the back of the backrest 4 of the driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2 and the locking portion 9 provided on the holding member 11 that holds the table 10 as shown in Figure 5. Then, as shown in Figure 8, the surfaces of the flat backrest member 5 and seat member 13 used for the additional sofa 6, which are installed on the locking portion 9 provided on the back of the backrest 4 of the driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2 and the locking portion 9 provided on the holding member 11 as shown in Figure 5, become flush with the surface of the table 10 and the top surface of the armrest 12. In other words, this is the first stage of forming the floor surface of the large extra bed.

[0023] Next, the backrests 4 and seats 7 of the pair of sofas 3, which are positioned opposite each other, are removed and formed into a flat shape similar to the backrest member 5 and seat member 13 used in the additional sofa 6. Then, the flattened backrests 4 and seats 7 of the pair of sofas 3 are placed between the armrests 12 on both sides, which are components of the pair of sofas 3. Here, if locking notches are provided in advance on the sides of the opposing armrests 12, the ends of the flattened backrests 4 and seats 7 of the pair of sofas 3 can be placed on these locking notches, and the surfaces of the backrest member 5 and seat member 13 used in the additional sofa 6, the surface of the table 10, and the top surfaces of both armrests 12 can be made flush, allowing the backrests 4 and seats 7 of the pair of sofas 3 to be installed horizontally.

[0024] However, in the present invention, the method for horizontally installing the backrests 4 and seats 7 of the flattened pair of sofas 3 is not limited to using the aforementioned locking notches. Alternatively, locking holes may be formed on the sides of both armrests 7 and on the sides of the backrests 4 and seats 7 of the pair of sofas 3 that are attached to these sides, and connecting pins may be inserted into these locking holes to horizontally install the backrests 4 and seats 7 of the flattened pair of sofas 3.

[0025] In summary, the present invention provides a way to create a U-shaped extra sofa 3 that allows for comfortable living within the limited space of a camper van, and allows for the instantaneous and simple arrangement of a large, comfortable extra bed from the roughly U-shaped extra sofa 3 when it is time to sleep.

[0026] Therefore, all surfaces, including the flat backrest member 5 and seat member 13 of the additional sofa 6 installed on the backs of the flat-shaped driver's seat 1 and passenger seat 2, as well as the surface of the table 10 and the top surfaces of both armrests 12, become flush and flat, allowing for the provision of an extra bed that can be used as a comfortable, large bed space with simple assembly and modification.
