Abstract

A structure of a seatback handle mounted at a seatback of a seat for the vehicle may include a module unit fixedly mounted at the seatback, the module unit exposing a charger terminal at a first side thereof, and a cover unit spaced from the module unit to be fixed at the seatback, wherein the charger terminal is electrically connected to an electrical device of the vehicle to supply power when the charger terminal is connected to a charging cable, and the cover unit may have a slidable part to cover or expose the charger terminal.

Claims (17)

1. A structure of a seatback handle mounted at a seatback of a seat for a vehicle comprising:

a module unit fixedly mounted at the seatback, the module unit exposing a charger terminal at a side thereof; and

a cover unit spaced from the module unit to be fixed at the seatback,

wherein the charger terminal is electrically connected to an electrical device of the vehicle to supply power when the charger terminal is connected to a charging cable, and

wherein the cover unit has:

a fixer fixed at the seatback, wherein a sliding groove is formed on the fixer; and

a slider to cover or expose the charger terminal, wherein a protrusion is formed on the slider and inserted into the sliding groove, and

wherein the slider is movable along the sliding groove while the protrusion is inserted into the sliding groove, and

wherein, when the slider covers the charger terminal, the slider has an open part such that a part of the charging cable connected to the charger terminal pokes out of the slider.

2. The structure of the seatback handle according to claim 1 , wherein

the module unit comprises a body having a linear bar shape and a support formed by bending both ends of the body to be fixed at the seatback, and

the cover unit is disposed to have a shape expanding from the body when the cover unit covers the charger terminal.

3. The structure of the seatback handle according to claim 1 , wherein

the protrusion includes a step protruding at a part inserted into the sliding groove, wherein the step extends vertically with respect to a longitudinal axis of the protrusion, and

the sliding groove, wherein the step of the protrusion is engaged to sliding groove to prevent the protrusion from being separated from the sliding groove.

4. The structure of the seatback handle according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding groove is mounted with a spring pressing the slider such that the slider is disposed to cover the charger terminal.

5. The structure of the seatback handle according to claim 1 , wherein, when the seatback is inclined at a predetermined angle, a first side of the fixer is disposed to be higher than a second side of the fixer to form an inclined interface between the fixer and the slider.
