Apparatus for permitting pass-through between vehicle compartment and trunk room

摘要

In an apparatus for permitting pass-through between a vehicle compartment (R) and a trunk room (T) of a motor vehicle, a first hook (24) is provided on a forward foldable portion (14) of a seat back (12) of the rear seat, and a second hook (28) that is engageable with the first hook (24) is provided on the seat back (12). The first (24) and second (28) hooks are normally biased by coil springs (25,29) in such a direction as to engage these hooks with each other. A vehicle-compartment-side strap (31) and a trunk-room-side strap (32) are provided for rotating the first hook (24) and the second hook (28), respectively, so as to release the engagement of these hooks. A lock device (33) is also provided for limiting rotation of the first hook (24) while the forward foldable portion (14) is in the upright portion, thus making it impossible to release the engagement of the first hook (24) with the second hook (28) by pulling the vehicle-compartment-side strap (31).
