## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-006512 filed on Jan. 16, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle seat in which the mounting workability to a vehicle is excellent.
BACKGROUND
There has been known a vehicle seat like a second-row scat of a one-box car, which is capable of increasing a position adjustment range in a longitudinal direction by including a long-size slide rail. In such long-slide vehicle seat, it is typical to adopt a method of installing a slide rail on a vehicle floor in advance and mounting a vehicle seat on an upper rail of the slide rail. In such case, as disclosed in JP-A-2005-67557, there is a method of placing a vehicle seat so that bolts or positioning pins protruding upward on an upper surface of the upper rail are allowed to pass through holes provided on a lower surface of a cushion frame, and fixing them by bolts and nuts, or the like. In this method, there is a need for an operation of lowering the vehicle seat from above so as to allow the holes of the lower surface of the cushion frame to correspond to the bolts or the positioning pins while confirming the position of the bolts or the positioning pins on the upper rail from a lateral lower side of the vehicle seat.
In the vehicle seat adopting the mounting method as described above, there are cases where the weight of the vehicle seat is increased due to the vehicle seat having many functions, or a shield member is mounted to a seat cushion side in order to improve an outer appearance of the vehicle seat. In these cases, it is difficult to perform an operation of lowering the vehicle seat on the upper rail while adjusting the mounting position of the vehicle seat. Therefore. two people have to perform the operation or a special device is required for lifting or lowering the vehicle seat. As a result, there is a problem that the workability is poor.
SUMMARY
In view of these problems, aspects of the present disclosure aims to provide a vehicle seat including a slide rail, in which mounting workability of the vehicle seat is improved at a time of mounting the vehicle seat on a slide rail mounted to a vehicle floor in advance.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a vehicle seat including: a seat cushion, a cushion frame which forms a framework of the seat cushion; and a pair of slide rails on which the cushion frame is mounted and which is configured to support the cushion frame to be slidable relative to a floor, each slide rail including an upper rail, wherein two engaging portions are respectively provided to the upper rails in a state of being spaced apart along the upper rails, wherein four fitting portions which abut against and fit into the engaging portions are provided to the cushion frame, wherein each of the fitting portions includes at least two wall portions extending in a vertical direction, and wherein guide portions are provided at lower sides of the wall portions, the guide portions being configured to guide the fitting portions to be fitted into the engaging portions when the cushion frame comes close from above to the upper rails mounted on the floor to be mounted to the upper rails
Accordingly, in the vehicle seat including the slide rails, when mounting the vehicle seat on the slide rails disposed on the vehicle floor in advance, the fitting portions provided to the cushion frame are fitted into and mounted to the engaging portions provided to the upper rails. At this time, since the guide portions are provided to at least two wall portions forming the fitting portions, the cushion frame can be easily fitted into the engaging portions of the upper rails in a state of being aligned therewith. Thereby, it is not necessary to mount the vehicle seat on the vehicle while viewing from the lateral lower side of the vehicle seat, and therefore, it is possible to improve the mounting workability of the vehicle seat even when the weight of the vehicle seat is great or a shield is mounted to the vehicle seat.

Further, a rear surface of the plate 51c is abutted against a front surface of the rear surface portion 64c3 of the sub bracket 64c, and right surfaces of the plate 51c and the rear block body 51b are abutted against a left surface of the side surface portion 64a2 of the right main bracket 64a. In this way, the right bracket 64 is positioned relative to the right upper rail 51 so that the left bracket 64 cannot move in the longitudinal direction and to the left direction.
The present embodiment configured as described above provides the following operational effects. As shown in FIG. 1, when mounting the automobile seat 1 on the upper rails 51 of the pair of left and right slide rails 50 disposed on the floor F, first, the positions in the longitudinal direction of the left and right upper rails 51 are aligned. In this state, the fitting portions 63F, 63R, 64F, 64R of the automobile seat 1 come close from above to the front block body 51b and the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c of the left and right upper rails 51. At this time, on the seat left side, the guide portion 63b11 of the left front fitting portion 63F is abutted against a front upper corner portion of the front block body 51b of the left upper rail 51, or, the guide portion 63c31 of the left rear fitting portion 63R is abutted against a rear tipper corner portion of the plate 51c of the left upper rail 51. Further, the guide portion 63a21 of the left front fitting portion 63F is abutted against a left upper corner portion of the front block body 51b of the left upper rail 51, or, the guide portion 63c21 of the left rear fitting portion 63R is abutted against a rear upper corner portion of the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c of the left upper rail 51. As the automobile seat 1 is lowered in this state, the front block body 51b is guided while being in sliding contact with the guide portion 63b11 and the guide portion 63a21 of the left front fitting portion 63F. In this way, the front block body 51b is positioned relative to the left front fitting portion 63F. Further, the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c are guided while being in sliding contact with the guide portion 63c31 and the guide portion 63c21 of the left rear fitting portion 63R. In this way, the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c are positioned relative to the left rear fitting portion 63R. Similarly, also on the seat right side, the guide portion 64b11 of the right front fitting portion 64F is abutted against a front upper corner portion of the front block body 51b of the right upper rail 51, or, the guide portion 64c31 of the right rear fitting portion 64R is abutted against a rear upper corner portion of the plate 51c of the right upper rail 51. Further, the guide portion 64a21 of the right front fitting portion 64F is abutted against a right upper corner portion of the front block body 51b of the right upper rail 51, or, the guide portion 64c21 of the right rear fitting portion 64R is abutted against a left upper corner portion of the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c of the right upper rail 51. As the automobile seat 1 is lowered in this state, the front block body 51b is guided while being in sliding contact with the guide portion 64b11 and the guide portion 64a21 of the right front fitting portion 64F. In this way, the front block body 51b is positioned relative to the right front fitting portion 64F. Further, the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c are guided while being in contact with the guide portion 64c31 and the guide portion 64c21 of the right rear fitting portion 64R. In this way, the rear block body 51b and the plate 51c are positioned relative to the right rear fitting portion 64R.
