As described in detail above, the first aspect of the present invention
According to the in-vehicle monitor support structure described above, by rotating a rotating portion provided on one side of the other side of the seat so as to rotate around an axis line extending in the vertical direction, one side of the rotating side is provided. If the monitor is supported in a state in which the other side is extended to the side of the axis closer to the axis, the side extending side is positioned on the other seat side,
The monitor is widened in the lateral direction between both seats, so that the viewing in the rear seat is good. At this time, since the monitor is arranged between both seats, it is not necessary to look at the monitor while facing diagonally upward, and the monitor can be viewed almost facing the front. Further, since the monitor is arranged between both seats, a plurality of people in the rear seats can easily see one monitor. On the other hand, if the monitor is placed in a posture in which the laterally extending side is located, for example, on the rear seat side by rotating the rotating part, the monitor is separated from the other seat side and falls to the one seat side. A passage through which a person can pass is formed between both seats.

Therefore, even when the in-vehicle monitor is installed so that the user mainly watches while seated in the rear seat, the viewer can comfortably watch the image and the cost increase can be suppressed while moving between the front and rear seats. Walkthrough is easily possible.

Further, according to the in-vehicle monitor support structure of the second aspect of the present invention, since the cover of the support portion supporting the rotating portion is provided with the external output terminal for outputting the monitor sound, Headphones can be easily connected from the rear seat side.
