invention

Object of the present invention is to provide a motor vehicle with a mounted in the body of the motor vehicle rear seat module, the rear seat module can be easily mounted in the body and also good accessibility of the located below the rear seat module cargo space of the vehicle is guaranteed.

The invention proposes a motor vehicle which is designed according to the features of patent claim 1.

In the motor vehicle, the rear seat module on a frame and mounted in the frame, collapsible and unfoldable rear seat assembly with at least one rear seat. The frame is mounted at the front by means of several pivot bearings about a front axis pivotally mounted in the body and the rear, in a pivoted-down position of the frame, connected via detachable locking arrangements with the body. The pivot bearings are designed such that they automatically engage when inserting the frame into the body.

The seat assembly with the at least one rear seat, for example a rear seat or a plurality of individual rear seats, are preassembled on the frame. In an advantageous manner, the preassembled rear seat module can thus be delivered as a pre-tested module to the assembly line in the manufacture of the motor vehicle. The rear seat module can be easily connected to the body, the concept of the body being understood to mean that it is a component or a component arrangement of the rear seat module stationary region of the motor vehicle, for example, a side wall or a Body floor acts.

The design of the motor vehicle makes it possible, when the motor vehicle is being mounted, for the rear seat module to automatically engage in the region of the pivot bearings when it is lowered into the body, which are placed on the frame front side. At the rear of the frame are the releasable locking arrangements, which are formed for example as snap locks. When lowering the rear seat module rastieren between rear seat module and body effective locking arrangements.

The design of the motor vehicle in the area of the bodywork and of the rear seat module mounted therein allows the assembly time of the vehicle to be reduced by quickly and easily connecting the pretested rear seat module to the bodywork. The seat assembly is simplified because it takes place outside the vehicle directly on the frame. Since the frame is pivotable about the axis of the pivot bearing, the frame can be pivoted upward after releasing the latching connection of the latching arrangements, so that the cargo space below the frame or rear seat module is accessible. This hold preferably serves to receive a spare wheel. Due to this arrangement, easy access to the spare wheel is possible.

The effort required to pivot the rear seat module can be reduced by providing a spring to assist in the pivoting movement of the rear seat module to the raised position of the frame.

The rear seat assembly can be designed differently. In particular, it is formed as a rear seat or by a plurality of juxtaposed rear seats. With multiple rear seats, it is considered preferable if two or three rear seats are arranged side by side. The respective rear seat has a seat part and a back part. The rear seat arrangement is in particular the third row of seats in a motor vehicle. This third row of seats is assigned to a loading space of the motor vehicle.

A structurally simple design of the pivotal connection between the frame and the body results when three pivot bearings are provided. A first pivot bearing is arranged in the region of one side of the frame, a second pivot bearing in the region of the side facing away from this side of the frame and a third pivot bearing approximately in the middle between the first and second pivot bearings. Structurally particularly simple is the respective pivot bearing, if this has a first and a second bearing module, wherein the first bearing module has a guide sleeve, two of these recorded bearing pin and a spring element for biasing the bearing pin away from each other against a stop of the guide sleeve. The bearing bolts protrude into the stop position of the guide sleeve. The second bearing module has insertion bevels for retracting the bearing pin in the guide sleeve upon contact of bearing pin and insertion bevels and recordings for axially receiving the bearing pin after passing the insertion bevels. This structurally simple design of the pivot bearing allows automatic engagement of the rear seat module in the body when mounting the vehicle.

Regardless of this, the motor vehicle can also retrofit easily retrofitted and equipped with the easy-to-install rear seat module.

The first bearing module is preferably connected to the frame and the second bearing module to the body.

With regard to the arrangement of the latching arrangements, thus those component arrangements, which are arranged in the region of the pivot bearings facing away from the end of the frame, it is considered advantageous if a latching arrangement is provided in the region of each side of the frame. In particular, the respective latching arrangement has a first latching element and a second latching element, wherein the first latching element is formed as a counter to the force of a spring axially displaceable latching pin with insertion bevel and the second latching element as a projection. When contacting the projection by the locking pin in the region of the insertion bevel of the locking pin is moved against the force of the spring and it moves, after passing the projection, the locking pin in a rear grip position of the projection.

Preferably, the first detent element is connected to the frame and the second detent element to the body. In order to be able to transfer the latching arrangements into their respective disengaged position, an actuating element for the respective latching arrangement or for all latching arrangements is expediently provided. This is, for example, an actuating handle or actuating lever with which the latching arrangements, in particular the snap lock, can be opened, so that the rear seat module can be pivoted about the pivot axis of the pivot bearing so far that the loading space located below the frame, in particular a in this cargo space located spare wheel, can be handled easily.

The invention thus enables a mounting of the complete row of seats in one operation. An automatic engagement of the rear seat module is due to its own weight without additional assembly operation. The shorter assembly time allows optimized line balancing, which frees up an assembly line length.

Belt buckles of the rear seat assembly can be integrated into the rear seat module. Thus, a pre-assembly of the buckles on the rear seat module can be done. It is not necessary to make lateral seat fittings, which would be difficult to access.

Reinforcements in the body floor to accommodate seat and belt loads can be omitted. This reduces the weight of the vehicle. This is particularly advantageous from the aspect that the vehicle is not to be equipped with the third row of seats, thus equipped as a five-seat vehicle.

Regardless of whether the vehicle as a five-seater, that is, two rows of seats or as a seven-seater, that is to be equipped with three rows of seats, the same body can be used, the body of the five-seater / latching devices for the loading floor the body-side recordings / snaps the rear seat module correspond to the seven-seater.

If no spare wheel is carried along, there is an additional possibility of using the storage space below the frame. If the rear seat module can be raised completely to a vertical position, the load compartment height can be increased considerably.

A simple, retrofitting the third row of seats in the aftersales business is easily possible.
