Abstract

A seat of a vehicle includes a foam pad in which a first hook part is installed and configured to slide on a rear surface opposite to a seating surface; a covering in which a wire is provided at an end portion and surrounds the seating surface of the foam pad to be caught and fixed to the first hook part of the rear surface of the foam pad; and a plate coupled to the rear surface of the foam pad and configured to slide the first hook part according to movement, wherein, when the covering and the foam pad are coupled, the hook part slides, and the wire is pulled by the first hook part so that the covering is fixed in a state of surrounding the foam pad.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seat of a vehicle, comprising:
a foam pad having a seating surface and configured to receive a hook part at a rear surface opposite to the seating surface, the hook part being configured to move on the rear surface;
a covering providing a wire at an end portion, the wire surrounding the seating surface of the foam pad to be coupled to the hook part; and
a plate coupled to the rear surface of the foam pad and configured to move the hook part,
wherein the hook part is configured to, based on the hook part being moved, pull the wire to thereby couple the covering to the foam pad in a state of surrounding the foam pad.

2. The seat of claim 1 , wherein the hook part is configured to move on the plate with respect to a center of the plate.

3. The seat of claim 1 , wherein the plate defines a guide space configured to guide the hook part.

4. The seat of claim 3 , wherein the guide space is provided in a parallelogram shape.

5. The seat of claim 1 , wherein:
the foam pad provides a plate cover,
the plate provides a plate fixing part, and
the plate cover provides a locking protrusion configured to receive the plate fixing part to thereby fix a position of the plate.

6. The seat of claim 1 , wherein the hook part includes (a) a first hook part configured to move on the rear surface of the foam pad and (ii) a second hook part provided at the plate and configured pull the wire of the covering.

7. The seat of claim 6 , wherein directions in which the first hook part and the second hook part pull the wire are different from each other.

8. The seat of claim 1 , wherein the hook part includes a third hook part provided at the rear surface of the foam pad and configured to receive the wire of the covering.

9. The seat of claim 1 , wherein the hook part includes:
a plurality of hooks configured to pull the wire of the covering in a first direction, and
a spring connected between the plurality of hooks and configured to push the hook in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

10. The seat of claim 9 , wherein the spring is connected between hooks facing each other among the plurality of hooks.

11. The seat of claim 1 , further comprising:
a seat frame configured to, based on pivoting of a lever, detach the foam pad,
wherein the lever is (is) configured to couple the foam pad to the seat frame and (ii) coupled to the rear surface of the foam pad, and
wherein the lever is configured to, based on the lever being locked, fix the foam pad to the seat frame.

12. The seat of claim 11 , wherein:
the foam pad provides a lever engaging protrusion protruding downward and extending from the rear surface of the foam pad,
the seat frame provides a lever engaging protrusion through groove through which the lever engaging protrusion passes, and
the lever is configured to, based on the lever engaging protrusion being passed through the lever engaging protrusion through groove, be coupled to the lever engaging protrusion.

13. The seat of claim 12 , wherein the seat frame is configured to receive an elastic part that is configured to:
based on the lever engaging protrusion being passed through the lever engaging protrusion through groove, push the lever engaging protrusion upward, and
based on the lever being opened, push the lever engaging protrusion upward to detach the foam pad from the seat frame.

14. The seat of claim 11 , wherein the covering is coupled to the foam pad, and the foam pad is attached to the seat frame after the covering is coupled to the foam pad.
