Abstract

The present invention provides an ISOFIX interface structure of a vehicle seat. The ISOFIX interface structure of the vehicle seat comprises a shroud mounting base and two ISOFIX shrouds. Two mounting holes are formed in the shroud mounting base, and the mounting holes are penetrated from front to rear. The two ISOFIX shrouds can correspondingly be inserted into the corresponding mounting holes and can be detachably mounted on the shroud mounting base. According to the ISOFIX interface structure of the vehicle seat, the structure is novel, neat, attractive, and easy to realize. The problem is that conventional ISOFIX interfaces collapse surrounding seat foam when being installed. Here, consistency of the two ISOFIX interfaces on the same vehicle seat is guaranteed, the subsequent installation of a child safety seat is convenient, and the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the child safety seat can be effectively improved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle seat ISOFIX interface structure, comprising: a mounting seat and two mounting covers, said mounting seat defining two longitudinal through-mounting holes, said two mounting covers adapted to be inserted into the two through-mounting holes and detachably mounted on the mounting seat, wherein said mounting seat has two forwardly projecting portions corresponding to and surrounding said two through-mounting holes.

2. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein said mounting seat has a support connecting portion, said two forwardly projecting portions located at end portions of said support connecting portion.

3. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 2 , wherein the mounting seat has a protruding portion at each end corresponding to the locations of the two mounting covers and said support connecting portion disposed therebetween.

4. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 2 , wherein said support connecting portion is configured to be covered with seat foam.

5. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a front portion and rearwardly extending insert portion, the rearwardly extending insert portion adapted to engage the corresponding through-mounting hole.

6. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 5 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has a connector to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

7. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 6 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an elastic plate structure to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

8. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 6 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an outwardly extending engagement boss to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

9. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging portion disposed around its periphery.

10. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging structure disposed therein.

11. A vehicle seat, comprising:
a vehicle seat ISOFIX interface structure, comprising: a mounting seat and two mounting covers, said mounting seat defining two longitudinal through-mounting holes, said two mounting covers adapted to be inserted into the two through-mounting holes and detachably mounted on the mounting seat, wherein said mounting seat has two forwardly projecting portions corresponding to and surrounding said two through-mounting holes.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein said mounting seat has a support connecting portion, said two forwardly projecting portions located at end portions of said support connecting portion.

13. The vehicle seat according to claim 12 , wherein the mounting seat has a protruding portion at each end corresponding to the locations of the two mounting covers and said support connecting portion disposed therebetween.

14. The vehicle seat according to claim 12 , wherein said support connecting portion is configured to be covered with seat foam.

15. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a front portion and rearwardly extending insert portion, the rearwardly extending insert portion adapted to engage the corresponding through-mounting hole.

16. The vehicle seat according to claim 15 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has a connector to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

17. The vehicle seat according to claim 16 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an elastic plate structure to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

18. The vehicle seat according to claim 16 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an outwardly extending engagement boss to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

19. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging portion disposed around its periphery.
