A belt anchor comprises an anchor portion which changes the extending direction of a belt body toward a vehicle front, a bolt which supports the anchor portion, and a nut which fastens the bolt. The belt anchor is fixed to a lift gate inner and a second reinforcement at a position which is located near a pivotal axis of a hinge. Accordingly, a seatbelt device of a vehicle which can ensure both the properly-large slant angle of the belt body and the support strength of the belt anchor, keeping appropriate flexibility of the vehicle layout, can be provided.

Seatbelt device of vehicle

There is provided a seat device for a vehicle comprising a pair of main seats disposed in the vehicle width direction including respectively a main seat cushion and main seat back, and a sub seat back disposed between the main seat backs, wherein the sub seat back is configured so as to be in an arranged position in which the sub seat back is located above the main seat cushion and before the main seat back, and the main seat backs are configured so as to be moved inward when the sub seat back is in the arranged position. Accordingly, the width of the seat can be adjusted variably, without improperly affecting spaces behind or before the seat, thereby attaining both the movement of seat and the improvement of space utility.

Seat device for vehicle

Disclosed is a fuel tank arrangement structure for a vehicle, which is designed to position a fuel tankunder a floor panelforming a floor of a passenger compartment of the vehicle. In the fuel tank arrangement structure, at least a laterally inward portion of the floor panelis formed as a convex floor portionprotruding upward from a general surfaceof the floor panel, and at least a laterally inward portion of the fuel tankis formed as a convex fuel-tank portionprotruding upward. The convex fuel-tank portionis positioned within a space defined by the convex floor portionwhile positioning the remaining portion of the fuel tankat a height position lower than the general surfaceof the floor panel, and a seat() is positioned inside the passenger compartment and above the convex floor portion

In a seat device for a vehicle comprising a front-row seat including a driver seat and an assistant seat and a rear-row seat provided behind the front-row seat, respective front-row and rear-row seats being provided in a cabin which includes an ingress and egress opening, at a side face, the rear-row seat is configured so as to be located in a normal use position and in a stored position where a longitudinal thickness thereof is made short, and the assistant seat is configured so as to be moved rearward from a position beside the driver seat to a position which corresponds to the normal use position of the rear-row seat. Accordingly, a space in the cabin properly can be utilized, by effectively enlarging a rearward-movement range of the front-row seat including the assistant seat with a simple structure.

There is provided the seat device for a vehicle, which is disposed on the rear floor panel in the cabin equipped with the ingress and egress opening at the side, comprising the first seat being provided so as to be folded, the second seat being provided beside the first seat, and the second-seat moving mechanism (the seat slide rails) to move the second seat laterally to the space of the original existing location of the first seat before the first seat has been folded. Accordingly, there can be provided a storage space beside the seat to allow an easy loading (easy access) from the outside of the vehicle, thereby improving facilities of the vehicle.

There is provided the fuel tank disposition structure of the vehicle, in which a plurality of passenger seats are disposed longitudinally in the cabin, comprising the tunnel portion provided so as to project upward toward the inside of the cabin at the central portion of the floor panel forming the lower face of the cabin, the tunnel portion including the wide portion and the narrow portions, the fuel tank disposed in the tunnel portion below the floor panel, the fuel tank including the wide portion and the narrow portion so as to correspond to the tunnel portion, wherein the front seat is disposed above the wide portion of the tunnel portion, and the rear seat is disposed above the narrow portions.

Fuel tank disposition structure of vehicle

A third row seat of a vehicle includes a seat back which can be folded down onto a seat cushion, and a headrest which can be pivoted rearward with respect to the seat back. The seat cushion is mounted on the vehicle floor so as to be pivotable rearward. A recess is formed in the floor of the vehicle behind the third row seat. The recess stores the third row seat, with the seat back being folded down, the headrest being pivoted rearward, and the third row seat being pivoted rearward. The headrest is located within a path of the pivotal motion of the seat back and the seat cushion, without increasing the path of the pivotal motion.

Seat storing structure for a vehicle

A seat device of a vehicle including a substantially flat floor surface substantially extending across a full cabin space of the vehicle, front row seats, center row seats and a rear row seat disposed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle on the floor surface, a seat storage pan extending rearward the rear row seat and downward a level of the floor surface, the front row seats being disposed with a space, the center row seats including a plurality of seats in which at least one of the seats is movable in a lateral direction of the vehicle. When the rear row seat is received in the seat storage pan, a substantially flat and continuous surface of a substantially same level as the floor surface is formed rearward the center row seats to a rear end of the cabin space with a substantially full width of the cabin space. When the center row seats are disposed offset to one side of the vehicle with regard to the lateral direction, a substantially flat and continuous surface of a substantially same level as the floor surface is formed rearward the front row seats to a rear end of the cabin space. When the center row seats are disposed to produce a space at a central portion of the vehicle in the lateral direction, a substantially flat and continuous surface of a substantially same level as the floor surface is formed rearward the front row seats to a rear end of the cabin space at a central portion of the cabin space in the lateral direction.
