Vehicle seat

Abstract

A vehicle seat S comprises: a pad P into which a wire member W is inserted; and a cover member 1 covering an anchor A for connecting a prescribed object. The cover member 1 is installed on the vehicle seat S in a state in which at least a part of the cover member 1 is embedded in the pad P. For example, an inside cover member 10 forming a portion of the cover member 1 is provided with convex-shaped projecting parts 13 (a first projecting part 131, a second projecting part 132), and the projecting parts 13 are embedded and wedged into the pad P, and thus the cover member 1 does not easily move on the contact surface with the pad P, thereby suppressing the movement of the cover member 1. Therefore, the cover member 1 is not easily displaced from the pad P, and the cover member 1 is less likely to be detached from the installation location thereof.

Description

Vehicle seat

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle seat.

[0002] Conventionally, a vehicle seat capable of attaching an ISOFIX type child seat corresponding to an international standard for fixing a child seat is known. In a vehicle seat corresponding to this standard, an ISOFIX anchor for receiving a pair of left and right engaging members provided on the child seat is disposed in a through hole provided at the rear end of a seat cushion of the vehicle seat. In order to protect the edge and inner wall of the through hole of the seat cushion, a vehicle seat in which a cover member is installed in the through hole is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-79708

[0004] However, in the case of the vehicle seat of Patent Document 1 described above, the cover member is attached to an insert wire extending in the left-right direction within the through hole, but is not fixed to the pad material of the seat cushion. Therefore, the cover member is likely to slide in the extending direction of the insert wire within the through hole, and there is a risk that the cover member may come off when a strong impact acts on the vehicle seat.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat in which a cover member installed at a predetermined location is difficult to come off.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a vehicle seat including a pad as a cushion material, an anchor for connecting a predetermined object, and a cover member covering the anchor, wherein at least a part of the cover member is installed in a manner buried in the pad.

[0007] The invention according to claim 2 is the vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the cover member is provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion is buried in the pad.

[0008] The invention described in claim 3 is a vehicle seat as described in claim 2, wherein the cover member has a frame-shaped base having an opening on the inside and an edge extending outward from the base, and the projection is provided on a portion that spans the side surface of the base and the edge.

[0009] The invention described in claim 4 is a vehicle seat as described in claim 3, wherein the vehicle seat comprises a wire member inserted in the pad, and the wire member is arranged along the side surface and edge of the base.

[0010] The invention described in claim 5 is characterized in that, in the vehicle seat described in claim 4, the projection is provided so as to be located between the base and the wire member.

[0011] The invention described in claim 6 is characterized in that, in the vehicle seat described in claim 4, the projection is in contact with the wire member.

[0012] The invention described in claim 7 is a vehicle seat according to any one of claims 3 to 6, characterized in that the projection includes a first projection provided on one end of the side surface of the base and a second projection provided on the other end of the side surface of the base.

[0013] The invention described in claim 8 is a vehicle seat according to any one of claims 3 to 6, wherein the cover member is provided with a lid fixing portion for attaching a lid member to the opening portion of the base, and the lid fixing portion is provided at a position closer to the opening than the projection portion.

[0014] The invention described in claim 9 is a vehicle seat as described in claim 7, wherein the cover member is provided with a lid fixing portion for attaching a lid member to the opening portion of the base, and the lid fixing portion is provided between one end and the other end of the side surface of the base.

[0015] The invention described in claim 10 is a vehicle seat according to any one of claims 4 to 6, characterized in that the cover member is provided with a claw portion for locking the wire member to the front side of the edge.

[0016] The invention described in claim 11 is a vehicle seat according to any one of claims 4 to 6, characterized in that the vehicle seat is inserted into the pad and is arranged along the edge portion which extends from one side to the other side of the base portion.

[0017] The invention described in claim 12 is a vehicle seat according to claim 11, characterized in that the cover member is provided with a claw portion for locking the second wire member to the front side of the edge.

[0018] According to the invention described in claim 1, the cover member that covers the anchor for connecting predetermined objects is installed in such a manner that at least a part of it is embedded in the pad, so that the cover member is difficult to move at the contact surface with the pad, and the movement of the cover member is suppressed, so that the cover member is difficult to shift away from the pad and is difficult to detach from its installation location.

[0019] According to the invention described in claim 2, the projections provided on the cover member are embedded in and bite into the pad, and the movement of the cover member is suitably suppressed, so the cover member is less likely to shift from the pad and less likely to come off its installation location.

[0020] According to the invention described in claim 3, the projection provided on the portion of the cover member that spans the side surface and edge of the base is embedded in and bites into the pad, and the movement of the cover member is suitably suppressed, so that the cover member is less likely to shift from the pad and less likely to come off its installation location.

[0021] According to the invention described in claim 4, since the wire member inserted in the pad is positioned along the side surface and edge of the base of the cover member, even if the cover member is about to shift and move, the wire member comes into contact with the cover member and restricts its movement, making it difficult for the cover member to shift or detach from the pad.

[0022] According to the invention described in claim 5, since the projection is positioned between the base and the wire member, the cover member can be easily miniaturized, making it possible to make the cover member more compact. For example, if the projection is provided in an area outside the wire member, the cover member will become larger, which is undesirable.

[0023] According to the invention described in claim 6, the contact between the projection of the cover member and the wire member effectively restricts the movement of the cover member, making it difficult for the cover member to shift or detach from the pad.

[0024] According to the invention described in claim 7, the protrusions include a first protrusion provided on one end of the side surface of the base and a second protrusion provided on the other end of the side surface of the base. Therefore, compared to the case where, for example, one protrusion is provided between one end and the other end of the side surface of the base, the movement of the cover member is further suppressed by the two protrusions, making it more difficult for the cover member to shift away from the pad and less likely to come off its installation location.

[0025] According to the invention described in claim 8, the lid fixing portion for attaching the lid member to the opening portion of the base is provided at a position closer to the opening than the projection portion, which makes it easier to miniaturize the cover member and makes it possible to make the cover member more compact.

[0026] According to the invention described in claim 9, the lid fixing portion for attaching the lid member to the opening portion of the base is provided between one end and the other end of the side surface of the base, so that the lid fixing portion can be suitably provided within a limited area of ​​the cover member. Furthermore, by providing the lid fixing portion in such a position, it becomes easier to miniaturize the cover member, making it possible to make the cover member more compact.

[0027] According to the invention described in claim 10, a claw portion is provided for locking the wire member to the front side of the edge, so that the wire member is sandwiched between the edge and the claw portion. With the wire member sandwiched between the edge and the claw portion in this way, the cover member becomes even less likely to shift or come off the pad.

[0028] According to the invention described in claim 11, the second wire member inserted in the pad is positioned along an edge that extends from one side to the other side of the base of the cover member. Therefore, even if the cover member is about to shift or move, the wire member and the second wire member come into contact with the cover member, restricting the cover member from moving in two directions. This makes it difficult for the cover member to shift or detach from the pad.

[0029] According to the invention described in claim 12, a claw portion is provided for locking the second wire member to the front side of the edge, so that the wire member is sandwiched between the edge and the claw portion. With the second wire member sandwiched between the edge and the claw portion in this way, the cover member becomes even less likely to shift or come off the pad.

[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the vehicle seat according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various technically preferred limitations for carrying out the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and illustrated examples below. In the following, the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction will be defined and described. Here, the backrest side of the seat will be referred to as "rear," the opposite side as "front," the left side when seated in the seat and looking straight ahead as "left," and the right side when seated in the seat and looking straight ahead as "right." The up-down direction corresponds to the vertical direction. That is, the width direction of the seat corresponds to the left-right direction.

[0032] The vehicle seat S of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, for example, comprises a seat cushion S1 as a seating area and a seat back S2 as a backrest. Inside the seat cushion S1 is a cushion frame (not shown) which serves as a framework. A pad P (see Figure 2) made of urethane foam or the like is placed over the cushion frame, and a surface material made of fabric or leather is placed over that to form the seat cushion S1. Similarly, the seat back S2 is constructed by placing a pad and surface material over a back frame which serves as a framework.

[0033] The rear end of the seat cushion S1 of this vehicle seat S is equipped with an anchor A (see Figure 3) for connecting a predetermined object, which is a child seat, and a cover member 1 that covers the anchor A is provided on the rear end of the seat cushion S1 (see Figure 1). Since the seat cushion S1 is equipped with two pairs of anchors A, four cover members 1 are provided on the seat cushion S1 as shown in Figure 1. The anchors A are fixed to a cushion frame (not shown).

[0034] The pad P, which serves as the cushioning material inside the seat cushion S1, has, for example, a wire member W and a pad reinforcing member Pr embedded in it as insert members, as shown in Figure 2. The wire member W shown in Figure 2 includes wire members W1 and W2, which will be described later. The cover member 1 provided on the seat cushion S1 is installed in such a manner that at least a part of it is embedded in the pad P, and is also installed in such a manner that it is constrained by the wire member W, as will be described later. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the wire member W is connected to support the cover members 1 which are provided side by side on the left and right of the seat cushion S1. The cover members 1, which are arranged side by side on the left and right, are connected by the wire member W.

[0035] The cover member 1 is composed of three resin members, for example, as shown in Figure 3: an inner cover member 10, an outer cover member 20, and a lid member 30. The inner cover member 10 is a member that is placed inside the seat cushion S1, and the outer cover member 20 is a member that is exposed on the surface side of the seat cushion S1. The lid member 30 is a member that is rotatably attached to the opening portion of the cover member 1, and is closed as shown in Figure 1 when the child seat is not in use, and is opened when the child seat is connected to anchor A.

[0036] The inner cover member 10 is provided with, for example, a locking groove 10a to which the outer cover member 20 is locked, and a support hole 10h to which the lid member 30 is attached, as shown in Figure 3. The inner cover member 10 is also provided with a rotation restricting portion 10s to restrict the rotation of the opened lid member 30 from moving any further. The outer cover member 20 is provided with, for example, a locking claw 21 for locking onto the inner cover member 10, as shown in Figure 3. The outer cover member 20 is also provided with a first protrusion 22a for maintaining the closed state of the lid member 30 and a second protrusion 22b for maintaining the open state of the lid member 30. The lid member 30 is provided with, for example, a pivot shaft 31 for pivotally attaching to the inner cover member 10, as shown in Figure 3, and a lid-side protrusion 32 for maintaining the closed and open states of the lid member 30. The inner cover member 10, outer cover member 20, and lid member 30 are all symmetrical in shape.

[0037] Here, the procedure for installing the cover member 1 on the seat cushion S1 will be explained with reference to Figure 3. Note that the wire member W embedded in the pad P and the surface material of the seat cushion S1 are not shown in Figure 3.

[0038] First, the inner cover member 10 is inserted into the through-hole H provided in the pad P from the rear, thereby attaching the inner cover member 10 to the pad P. Specifically, the frame-shaped base portion 11 of the inner cover member 10 is pushed into the through-hole H of the pad P. Since the outer dimensions of the base portion 11 of the inner cover member 10 are larger than the inner dimensions of the through-hole H of the pad P, the base portion 11 expands the through-hole H portion of the pad P, and the base portion 11 presses against the pad P, so that the base portion 11 and the pad P are attached in a tightly fitted state.

[0039] Next, the outer cover member 20 is attached to the inner cover member 10, which is attached to the pad P, from the front of the pad P. Specifically, the locking claws 21 of the outer cover member 20 are fitted into the locking grooves 10aA of the inner cover member 10, thereby attaching the outer cover member 20 to the inner cover member 10.

[0040] Next, the lid member 30 is attached to the inner cover member 10, which is attached to the pad P, from the front of the pad P. Specifically, the pivot shaft 31 of the lid member 30 is inserted into the support hole 10h of the inner cover member 10, and the lid member 30 is attached to the inner cover member 10 so that the lid member 30 rotates around the pivot shaft 31. The lid member 30 here is smaller and shorter than the opening 20a of the outer cover member 20, and there is a gap between the lower edge of the lid member 30 and the outer cover member 20 (see Figure 8, which will be described later). A finger can be inserted into this gap and the lid member 30 can be rotated to pull the lower edge of the lid member 30 towards the user, thereby opening the lid.

[0041] When the lid member 30 is closed (see Figure 8, described later), the lid-side projection 32 of the lid member 30 engages with the first projection 22a of the outer cover member 20, thereby maintaining the closed state of the lid member 30. Also, when the lid member 30 is open, the lid-side projection 32 of the lid member 30 engages with the second projection 22b of the outer cover member 20, thereby maintaining the open state of the lid member 30.

[0042] In this manner, the outer cover member 20 and the lid member 30 are attached to the inner cover member 10 which is attached to the pad P, and the cover member 1, which is formed by integrating these three members, is installed on the seat cushion S1 (vehicle seat S). The vehicle seat S of this embodiment comprises a pad P into which a metal wire member W is inserted, an anchor A for connecting a child seat, and a cover member 1 that covers the anchor A, and the cover member 1 of this vehicle seat S is installed in such a manner that at least a part of it is embedded in the pad P.

[0043] The following describes the specific configuration of the cover member 1 of the present embodiment and the vehicle seat S provided with the cover member 1. FIGS. 4 and 5 show the inner cover member 10 of the cover member 1, FIGS. 6 and 7 show the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P, and FIGS. 8 and 9 show the cover member 1 installed on the vehicle seat S. In FIGS. 6 to 9, in order to show the wire members W1 and W2 inserted into the pad P, the illustration of the urethane foam and the skin material of the pad P is omitted.

[0044] The inner cover member 10, which is a part of the cover member 1 of the present embodiment, has, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, a frame-shaped base portion 11 having an opening 11o on the inner side, and an edge portion 12 provided so as to project outward from the base portion 11. Although the base portion 11 of the inner cover member 10 has complex concavities and convexities including grooves and small holes, it is generally formed in a substantially rectangular frame shape. Further, the edge portion 12 of the inner cover member 10 is a portion that projects from the upper side and the left and right side surfaces of the base portion 11 in three directions, and has a substantially U-shaped form. This edge portion 12 projects outward from the edge on the proximal end side of the base portion 11 (the edge closer to the rear of the base portion 11). Note that no edge portion is provided on the lower side of this base portion 11.

[0045] The inner cover member 10 is provided with a protruding portion 13 in a convexly raised manner. Specifically, a convex protruding portion 13 is provided at a portion straddling the side surface of the base portion 11 and the edge portion 12. The inner cover member 10 has, as the protruding portion 13, a first protruding portion 131 provided at the upper end side of the side surface of the base portion 11 and a second protruding portion 132 provided at the lower end side of the side surface of the base portion 11. Note that since the inner cover member 10 is a member having a bilaterally symmetric shape, the protruding portion 13 (the first protruding portion 131 and the second protruding portion 132) is provided on each of the left side surface (left side surface) and the right side surface (right side surface) of the base portion 11.

[0046] The inner cover member 10 is attached to the pad P in such a manner that its projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) are embedded in the pad P. Specifically, the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P is pressed tightly against the pad P, and the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) of the inner cover member 10 are embedded in and bite into the urethane foam of the pad P. When the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) of the inner cover member 10 are embedded in the pad P, the inner cover member 10 becomes less likely to move at the contact surface with the pad P, and its movement is suppressed, making it less likely for the inner cover member 10 to shift or detach from the pad P.

[0047] In particular, the inner cover member 10 has projections 13, a first projection 131 provided on one end of the side surface of the base 11, and a second projection 132 provided on the other end of the side surface of the base 11. The projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) provided at the four corners of the inner cover member 10 are embedded in the urethane foam of the pad P, thereby effectively suppressing the movement of the inner cover member 10.

[0048] Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the vehicle seat S includes wire members W1 and W2 inserted into the pad P, and the wire members W1 and W2 are arranged along the side surface of the base portion 11 and the front surface side of the edge portion 12 of the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P. Here, since the wire member W1 is arranged on the left side surface side of the base portion 11 and the wire member W2 is arranged on the right side surface side of the base portion 11, the left and right movement of the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P is restricted by the wire members W1 and W2. Further, since the wire members W1 and W2 are along the front surface side of the edge portion 12, the forward movement of the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P is restricted by the wire members W1 and W2. Thus, the inner cover member 10 is constrained by the wire members W1 and W2 inserted into the pad P, and the movement of the inner cover member 10 is restricted, so that it becomes even more difficult for the inner cover member 10 to shift or come off from the pad P.

[0049] In particular, claw portions 15 for locking the wire members W1 and W2 to the front surface side of the edge portion 12 are provided on the side surface of the base portion 11 of the inner cover member 10, and the wire members W1 and W2 are sandwiched in the front-rear direction between the edge portion 12 and the claw portions 15. Thus, since the wire members W1 and W2 are sandwiched between the edge portion 12 and the claw portions 15, it becomes even more difficult for the inner cover member 10 to shift or come off from the pad P. When the inner cover member 10 is attached to the pad P, the claw portions 15 of the base portion 撞上 the wire members W1 and W2, but by strongly pushing the inner cover member 10 into the pad P, the claw portions 15 and the wire members W1 and W2 elastically deform mutually, and the claw portions 15 fit over the wire members W1 and W2 and are in a state where the claw portions 15 lock the wire members W1 and W2.

[0050] Furthermore, one of the wire members W2 has a bent shape and has a portion that extends vertically and a portion that extends horizontally. The portion of the wire member W2 that extends vertically is positioned on the right side of the base 11, and the portion of the wire member W2 that extends horizontally is positioned on the upper side of the base 11. The portion of the wire member W2 that extends horizontally is positioned on the upper side of the base 11 and is also positioned along the front surface of the edge 12 that extends from the left side to the right side of the base 11. The portion of the wire member W2 that extends horizontally, which is positioned along the front surface of the edge 12 that extends from the left side to the right side of the base 11, restricts the upward movement of the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P. In other words, the movement of the inner cover member 10 is further restricted by this wire member W2, making it even more difficult for the inner cover member 10 to shift or detach from the pad P.

[0051] Here, if we define the wire member positioned on the left side of the base 11 as the first wire member W1, and the wire member positioned on the right side of the base 11 and above the base as the second wire member W2, then the first wire member W1 and the second wire member W2 intersect at the upper left portion of the base 11 of the inner cover member 10. The inner cover member 10 is provided with a claw portion 16 for engaging the second wire member W2 with the front side of the edge portion 12 above the base 11, so that the second wire member W2 is sandwiched vertically between the edge portion 12 and the claw portion 16. In this way, the second wire member W2 is sandwiched between the edge portion 12 and the claw portion 16, making it even more difficult for the inner cover member 10 to shift or detach from the pad P. When attaching the inner cover member 10 to the pad P, the claw portion 16 abuts against the second wire member W2. However, by firmly pressing the inner cover member 10 onto the pad P, the claw portion 16 and the second wire member W2 elastically deform relative to each other, causing the claw portion 16 to fit over the second wire member W2, thereby locking the claw portion 16 into place.

[0052] Furthermore, the claw portion 15 provided on the side surface of the base portion 11 and the claw portion 16 provided on the edge portion 12 are engaged with the wire members W1 and W2, and since the claw portions 15 and 16 are embedded in the pad P in the same way as the projection portion 13, the claw portions 15 and 16 also have the function of suppressing the movement of the inner cover member 10.

[0053] Furthermore, the protrusions 13 (first protrusion 131, second protrusion 132) are positioned between the base 11 itself and the wire members W1 and W2. By positioning the protrusions 13 (first protrusion 131, second protrusion 132) in this manner, it becomes easier to miniaturize the inner cover member 10, and thus possible to make the cover member 1 more compact. For example, if the protrusions 13 were to be placed in an area outside the wire members W1 and W2, the inner cover member 10 would become larger, resulting in a larger cover member 1, which is undesirable.

[0054] Furthermore, the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) positioned between the base 11 itself and the wire members W1 and W2 may be in contact with the wire members W1 and W2. When the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) are in contact with the wire members W1 and W2, the inner cover member 10 is sandwiched between the wire members W1 and W2, and the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P will not move in the left-right direction, which is preferable for restricting the movement of the inner cover member 10.

[0055] Furthermore, the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) positioned between the base 11 itself and the wire members W1, W2 do not need to be in contact with the wire members W1, W2. Even if the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) and the wire members W1, W2 are not in contact and there is a gap between them, if the urethane foam of the pad P is compressed and sandwiched in that gap, the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P will not move in the left-right direction, which is preferable for restricting the movement of the inner cover member 10. For example, when attaching the inner cover member 10 to the pad P, the urethane foam of the pad P can be compressed and sandwiched between the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) and the wire members W1, W2 during the process of pushing the inner cover member 10 onto the pad P. When the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) of the resin inner cover member 10 come into contact with the metal wire members W1, W2, a contact noise may be generated as hard members collide. However, if compressed urethane foam is sandwiched between the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) and the wire members W1, W2, it is preferable that the noise is less likely to occur than when the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132) and the wire members W1, W2 are in contact.

[0056] Furthermore, the inner cover member 10 is provided with a lid fixing portion 14 for rotatably attaching the lid member 30 to the opening 11o portion of the base 11. As mentioned above, the lid member 30 is attached to the inner cover member 10 after the outer cover member 20 has been attached to the inner cover member 10.

[0057] The lid fixing portion 14 is provided on the side surface of the base portion 11, and a support hole 10h is formed in the lid fixing portion 14 into which the pivot shaft 31 of the lid member 30 is inserted.

[0058] The lid fixing portion 14 is positioned closer to the opening 11o than the projections 13 (first projection 131, second projection 132). By positioning the lid fixing portion 14 in this manner, it becomes easier to miniaturize the inner cover member 10, and thus the cover member 1 can be made more compact.

[0059] Furthermore, the lid fixing portion 14 is provided between one end and the other end of the side surface of the base portion 11. In other words, the lid fixing portion 14 is provided so as to be sandwiched between the first projection 131 and the second projection 132. This allows the lid fixing portion 14 to be suitably provided within a limited area of ​​the inner cover member 10. In addition, by providing the lid fixing portion 14 in this position, it becomes easier to miniaturize the inner cover member 10, making it possible to make the cover member 1 more compact.

[0060] As described above, the vehicle seat S of this embodiment is provided with an anchor A for securing a child seat at the rear end of the seat cushion S1, and a cover member 1 is installed on the seat cushion S1 so as to cover the anchor A. This cover member 1 is composed of an inner cover member 10 attached to the seat cushion S1, and an outer cover member 20 and a lid member 30 attached to the inner cover member 10. Since the inner cover member 10 is attached to the pad P of the seat cushion S1 in a way that makes it difficult for it to shift or come off, the cover member 1, which is composed of three members, is difficult to remove from the vehicle seat S.

[0061] Specifically, the protrusions 13 (first protrusion 131, second protrusion 132) provided on the inner cover member 10 are embedded in and bite into the pad P of the seat cushion S1, making it difficult for the inner cover member 10 to move at the contact surface with the pad P, thereby suppressing the movement of the inner cover member 10. As a result of suppressing the movement of the inner cover member 10 attached to the pad P of the seat cushion S1, the inner cover member 10 is less likely to shift or detach from the pad P, and therefore the cover member 1 is less likely to detach from the vehicle seat S.

[0062] In particular, the wire members W1 and W2 inserted into the pad P restrict the movement of the inner cover member 10, thereby restraining the inner cover member 10 to the pad P, making it even more difficult for the cover member 1 to come off the vehicle seat S.

[0063] Thus, with the vehicle seat S of this embodiment, it is possible to effectively prevent the cover member 1, which is installed in a predetermined location, from coming off.

[0064] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, as shown in Figure 10, the lid member 30 of the cover member 1 may have approximately the same size as the opening 20a of the outer cover member 20. This makes it difficult for foreign objects to enter the cover member 1 that covers the anchor A. In this case, the outer cover member 20 is provided with a recess 20b on the lower edge of the lid member 30 for gripping with a finger, so that the lid can be opened by inserting a finger into this recess 20b and rotating the lid member 30 so that the lower edge of the lid member 30 is pulled forward.

[0065] In the embodiments described above, a vehicle seat S equipped with an anchor A at the rear end of a seat cushion S1 and a cover member 1 covering the anchor A was used as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a vehicle seat S equipped with an anchor A at the lower end of a seat back S2 and a cover member 1 covering the anchor A may also be used.

[0066] Furthermore, it goes without saying that other specific structural details can be modified as needed.

[0067] This disclosure can be used as a vehicle seat.
