Abstract

The invention discloses a type of seat, including the seat baseplate, the soft cushion and the underframe assembly; wherein, the said soft cushion is arranged on the said seat baseplate; the said seat baseplate is connected to the framework through the said underframe assembly; the said seat baseplate adopts integrated injection molding. The seat baseplate in the present invention adopts integrated injection molding. The soft cushion is arranged on the seat baseplate to form the complete seat. Compared with the machining method in the prior art that the backrest and the base are separately machined and then the backrest and the base are assembled with each other; the machining procedure of the seat baseplate in the present invention is simple, thus the production efficiency is improved and the production cost is reduced. The invention also discloses a type of all-terrain vehicle provided with the above seat.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A seat for use in an all terrain vehicle, the seat comprising:
a seat baseplate formed as an integrated unit by injection molding;
a soft cushion provided as a plurality of separate cushion parts, each cushion part arranged on and connected to the seat baseplate; and
an underframe assembly, wherein the seat baseplate is connectable to a framework of the all terrain vehicle through the underframe assembly, wherein the underframe assembly comprises:
a slide rail which is inclined such that one end of the slide rail is higher than another end, with the slide rail being connectable to the framework of the all terrain vehicle;
a slider suitable for the slide rail arranged on the slide rail, with the slider being located under the seat baseplate and connected to the seat baseplate;
a clip tube connected to one end of the slide rail such that an extension direction of the clip tube is perpendicular to an extension direction of the slide rail; and
a clip slot member connected to the framework of the all terrain vehicle, wherein the clip slot member is provided with a clip slot suitable for the clip tube with the clip tube securing the underframe assembly to the framework of the all terrain vehicle by arranging the clip tube into the clip slot.

2. The seat according to claim 1 in which each cushion part of the soft cushion is connected to the seat baseplate by one or more screws.

3. The seat according to claim 1 in which the soft cushion includes a backrest cushion and a seat cushion, and in which the backrest cushion comprises:
a right backrest cushion part;
a left backrest cushion part; and
a middle backrest cushion part.

4. The seat according to claim 3 , wherein the seat cushion and each part of the backrest cushion are made by a polyurethane (“PU”) self-skinning process.

5. The seat according to claim 1 wherein the underframe assembly further comprises at least one bolt and at least one gasket, the bolt being arranged on the slider and the gasket being located on the seat baseplate with the bolt passing through the seat baseplate and the gasket.

6. The seat according to claim 1 , wherein the underframe assembly further comprises:
a clip hook connected to another end of the slide rail; and
a clip member which is suitable for the clip hook connected to the framework of the all terrain vehicle, with the clip hook securing the underframe assembly to the framework of the all terrain vehicle by hooking the clip hook on the clip member.

7. The seat according to claim 1 comprising two slide rails with a parallel arrangement.

8. A seat for use in an all terrain vehicle, the seat comprising:
a seat baseplate formed as an integrated unit by injection molding;
a soft cushion arranged on and connected to the seat baseplate; and
an underframe assembly, wherein the seat baseplate is connectable to a framework of the all terrain vehicle through the underframe, wherein the underframe assembly comprises:
a slider located under the seat baseplate and connected to the seat baseplate;
a slide rail suitable for the slider and arranged under the slider, the slide rail having a slide rail extension direction;
a clip tube connected to a forward end of the slide rail with a clip tube extension direction being perpendicular to the slide rail extension direction;
a clip slot member connectable to the framework of the all terrain vehicle, the clip slot member providing a clip slot suitable for the clip tube, such that when the clip tube is in the clip slot the clip slot member prevents raising or lowering of the clip tube;
a clip hook connected to a rearward end of the slide rail; and
a clip member connectable to the framework of the all terrain vehicle, the clip member being suitable for the clip hook, such that when the clip hook is hooked to the clip member, the clip member prevents raising or lowering of the clip hook;
wherein the clip tube arranged within the clip slot and the clip hook hooked to the clip member collectively secure the underframe assembly to the framework of the all terrain vehicle.

9. The seat of claim 8 , wherein the slide rail is inclined such that the forward end of the slide rail is higher than the rearward end of the slide rail.
