"Armlehne für Fahrzeuginsassen""Armrest for vehicle occupants"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Armlehne für Fahrzeuginsassen, insbesondere zur Befestigung an einer Tür oder Seitenwand eines Kraftwagens, die einen vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden, von einer Polsterung umgebenen Grundkörper aufweist, der bei entsprechender Krafteinwirkung in Richtung senkrecht zu seiner Befestigungsfläche unter Energieabsorption bleibend verformbar ist.The invention relates to an armrest for vehicle occupants, in particular for attachment to a door or side wall a motor vehicle, which has a base body preferably made of plastic and surrounded by upholstery, with the corresponding force applied in the direction perpendicular to its mounting surface with energy absorption is permanently deformable.
Eine derartige Armlehne ist bereits der DE-AS 12 67 II6 als bekannt zu entnehmen. Die dort dargestellte Armlehne weist einen Grundkörper mit im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden, oberen und unteren Schenkeln auf, die wellenförmig ausgebildet sind und die. bei entsprechender Belastung, wie sie z. B. bei einem Unfall ein gegen die Armlehne geschleuderter Fahrzeuginsasse ausübt, bleibend verbogen werden. Nachteilig bei einer derartigen Ausbildung einer Armlehne ist jedoch, daß diese aufgrund der gewählten Ausbildung ihrer Biegeschenkel auch in einer Richtung, die senkrecht zu der vorstehend geschilderten Belastungsrichtung steht, während ihrer normalen bestimmungsgemäßen Benutzung nachgeben und dadurch einen labilen Eindruck erwecken kann.Such an armrest is already the DE-AS 12 67 II6 as known to be taken. The armrest shown there has a base body with essentially horizontal, upper and lower legs, which are wave-shaped and the. with appropriate load, like them z. B. exerts a vehicle occupant thrown against the armrest in an accident, be permanently bent. Disadvantageous with such a design of an armrest, however, is that this is due to the chosen design of its flexural legs also in a direction which is perpendicular to the loading direction described above, during their normal can give in to intended use and thus create an unstable impression.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden und eine Armlehne insbesondere für die Insassen von Kraftwagen zu schaffen, die auf senkrecht zu ihrer Befestigungsfläche gerichteten Druck zwar unter Energieabsorption gezielt nachgibt, auf Biegung und Zug jedoch den während des normalen Fahrbetriebes zu stellenden Anforderungen genügt.The present invention was therefore based on the object of avoiding this disadvantage and an armrest in particular for the occupants of motor vehicles that apply pressure perpendicular to their mounting surface deliberately yields under energy absorption, but on bending and pulling it is the one to be set during normal driving Requirements are sufficient.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Armlehne der vorstehend beschriebenen Gattung dadurch erreicht, daß der Grundkörper stufenförmige Absätze aufweist, und die Verbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Absätzen bei Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen Stoßbelastung abscherbar sind, so daß sich die einzelnen Absätze des Grundkörpers teleskopartig ineinanderschieben. According to the invention, this is the case with an armrest of the above described type achieved in that the base body has stepped shoulders, and the connections between the individual paragraphs can be sheared off when a predetermined shock load is exceeded, so that the individual Slide the paragraphs of the main body telescopically into one another.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Grundkörper dabei auf seiner Innen- und Außenseite von einem Kunststoffschaum umgeben, der bei einem Unfall an der Energieabsorption teilnimmt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the The base body is surrounded on its inside and outside by a plastic foam that absorbs energy in the event of an accident participates.
Weiterhin ist es im Interesse eines gezielten Verformungsablaufs vorteilhaft, wenn die abzuscherenden Sollbruchstellen so bemessen sind, daß zuerst die dem Fahrzeuginnenraum am nächsten liegenden, den Absätzen mit der größten lichten inneren Veite zugeordneten Sollbruchstellen zerstört werden und das Abscheren danach fortlaufend auf die weiteren Stufen übergreift.Furthermore, in the interests of a targeted deformation process, it is advantageous if the predetermined breaking points to be sheared off are dimensioned in such a way that the paragraphs with the largest clearness are the ones closest to the vehicle interior first inner Veite associated predetermined breaking points are destroyed and the shearing then continuously on the other stages overlaps.
Nach einer bevorzugten praktischen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist schließlich vorgesehen, daß der Grundkörper zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordnete deformierbare Bereiche aufweist, die durch ein Verbindungselement miteinander verbunden sind. According to a preferred practical embodiment of the invention Finally, it is provided that the base body has two deformable areas arranged at a distance from one another which are connected to one another by a connecting element.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Armlehne 1 weist einen Grundkörper 2 auf, der aus zwei deformierbaren Bereichen 2a. und 2b besteht, die durch ein Verbindungsstück 3 miteinander verbunden sind. Die deformierbaren Bereiche 2a, 2b weisen stufenförmige Absätze 4 auf, wobei die einzelnen Absätze 4 durch Sollbruchstellen 5> die etwa senkrecht zu den Wandungen der Absätze 4 verlaufen, verbunden sind, wie dies insbesondere aus Fig. 5 der Zeichnung zu entnehmen ist. Das Abscheren im Falle einer unfallbedingten Stoßbelastung beginnt dabei aufgrund der Auslegung der Sollbruchstellen 5 im Bereich der Absätze 4, die die größte lichte Weite aufweisen, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bei den Ab- ' sätzen 4, die dem Fahrzeuginnenraum am nächsten liegen. Auf diese Art wird ein gezieltes Verkürzen des Grundkörpers ohne Gefährdung der Fahrzeuginsassen erreicht.The armrest 1 shown in the drawing has a base body 2, which consists of two deformable areas 2a. and 2b, which are connected to one another by a connecting piece 3. The deformable areas 2a, 2b have stepped paragraphs 4, the individual Paragraphs 4 are connected by predetermined breaking points 5> which run approximately perpendicular to the walls of paragraphs 4, such as this can be seen in particular from FIG. 5 of the drawing. Shearing in the event of an accident-related impact load begins due to the design of the predetermined breaking points 5 in the area of paragraphs 4, which have the largest clear width, in the illustrated embodiment in the ab- ' sentences 4, which are closest to the vehicle interior. In this way, a targeted shortening of the base body without Endangerment of the vehicle occupants reached.
