However, when the rear seat is slid forward as described above, the foot space of the rear seat is relatively reduced, and the livability is deteriorated.
It was difficult to achieve both the comfort of the rear seats and the securing of luggage loading space.

[0005] In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a so-called walk-through system in which a passenger can move between a front seat and a rear seat. The driver's seat and the passenger seat cannot be arranged in parallel at a sufficient interval to allow the occupants to slip through,
It was difficult to adopt the walk-through method.

[0006] The present invention has been devised to solve such disadvantages of the prior art, and its main objects are as follows.
An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat configured to be able to enlarge a luggage loading space behind a rear seat without impairing the livability of the rear seat. A second object of the present invention is to configure a seat so that walk-through is possible even in a relatively small vehicle.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a driver's seat 5, a passenger seat 6, and a rear seat 7 behind the passenger seat are provided in an automobile. A guide rail 12 is provided so that the seat can be moved back and forth between a lower position of the dashboard 10 and a normal position parallel to the driver's seat, and the rear seat is divided into two right and left parts. Of one of the divided bodies (the left divided body 7b in the embodiment of the present invention) immediately after the front passenger seat, and the front and rear direction of the other divided body (the right divided body 7a in the embodiment of the invention) and the driver's seat The guide rail 13 is provided so as to be movable back and forth between the intermediate position and the normal position.

With this configuration, the passenger seat is usually arranged at a position parallel to the driver's seat, and the slidable rear seat division is aligned with the fixed rear seat division. By arranging in the position, the capacity riding is possible. Then, the front passenger seat is slid forward to fit in the foot space below the dashboard, and the rear slidable rear seat split body behind the front passenger seat is moved forward, thereby forming the rear seat split body. A luggage loading space is newly formed at the rear. At this time, a total of three occupants can ride on each of the driver's seat, the slidable rear seat split body, and the fixed rear seat split body, and a total of three occupants can ride on each seat, and the occupant's livability is sufficient. Is secured.

Further, the slidable rear seat divided body is moved to the vicinity of an intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body between the driver seat and the fixed rear seat divided body behind the driver seat, and the respective seats are staggered. Then, since the backrests of the respective seats are displaced in the front-rear direction, the seat between the driver's seat and the slidable rear-seat seat divided body behind the seat, or the rear-seat seat divided body and the fixed rear obliquely behind the seat. The occupant can move smoothly between the divided seat and the seat, and a walk-through is realized.
