Abstract

A swivellable arm rest (7) for the front seat (3) of a motor vehicle is constructed in such a way that, in its position of use, it projects into the seating surface of the front seat in order to permit good access to a handbrake lever (13). So that it is still possible for the arm rest (7) to swivel into an out-of-use position between the front seat arm rests, measures are taken by means of which the arm rest is turned through approximately 90 DEG about its longitudinal axis at the same time as pivoting up. <IMAGE>

Description

Schwenkbare Armlehne für den Vordersitz eines Kraftfahrzeuges Swivel armrest for the front seat of a motor vehicle

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Armlehne für den Vordersitz eines Kraftfahrzeuges, welche um eine in Fahrzeugquerrichtung horizontal verlaufende erste Drehachse schwenkbar ist.The invention relates to an armrest for the front seat of a Motor vehicle, which is a horizontally extending in the vehicle transverse direction first Axis of rotation is pivotable.

Gattungsgemäße Armlehnen für Vordersitze von Kraftfahrzeugen weisen eine gleich breite Auflagefläche auf und nehmen relativ viel Raum in Fahrzeugquerrichtung ein, so daß oft nur eine Armlehne vorgesehen werden kann oder der Zugang zu einem zwischen den Vordersitzen angeordneten Handbremshebel erschwert ist, was besonders dann der Fall ist, wenn zutei Armlehnen montiert sind.Generic armrests for front seats of motor vehicles have an equally wide contact surface and take up a relatively large amount of space in the transverse direction of the vehicle one, so that often only one armrest can be provided or access to one arranged between the front seats handbrake lever is difficult, which is particularly is the case when the armrests are fitted.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Zugang zu Betätigungs~ organen des Kraftfahrzeuges zwischen den Vordersitzen bei abgesenkter /en Armlehne /en zu verbessern.The invention is based on the object of providing access to actuation ~ organs of the motor vehicle between the front seats with the armrest / s lowered / s to improve.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The task is defined by the characterizing features of the claim 1 solved.

Dadurch, daß die Armlehne nicht nur um eine Drehachse in ihre Nichtgebrauchs-Stellung schwenkbar ist, sondern um eine zusätzliche Achse außerdem noch um etwa 900 um ihre Längsachse gedreht werden kann, ist es möglich, die Armlehne in Richtung auf den Vordersitz zu verbreitern, wodurch auf der den Insassen abgewandten Seite der Armlehne Raum geschaffen wird, welcher den Zugang zu Betätigungsorganen des Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere zu einem zwischen den Vordersitzen angeordneten Handbremshebel, verbessert wird. Durch das Verdrehen der Armlehne um ihre Längsachse wird es möglich, daß die verbreiterte Armlehne trotz einer nahen Anordnung an der Rückenlehne des Vordersitzes nach oben in eine ichtgebrauchs-Stellung schwenkbar ist.Because the armrest is not only about an axis of rotation in its non-use position is pivotable, but also about an additional axis by about 900 about hers Can be rotated longitudinally, it is possible to move the armrest towards the To widen the front seat, creating on the side of the armrest facing away from the occupants Space is created, which gives access to actuators of Motor vehicle, in particular to a handbrake lever arranged between the front seats, is improved. By rotating the armrest around its longitudinal axis, it is possible to that the widened armrest despite a close arrangement to the backrest of the The front seat can be pivoted up into a non-use position.

Hinsichtlich der baulichen Ausführung der Schwenkmechanismen sind viele Lösungen denkbar. Die einfachste besteht wohl darin, daß zwei separate und voneinander unabhängig wirkende Schwenkzapfen vorgesehen werden. Diese Ausbildung erfordert allerdings vom Sitzbenutzer, daß er beim Betätigen der Armlehne diese zunächst um ihre Längsachse um etwa 900 drehen und dann verschwenken muß. Es sind jedoch auch Ausführungen möglich, bei denen der Sitzbenutzer alleinig die Armlehne nach oben bzw. nach unten bewegen muß. Solche Lösungen sind in den Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben.With regard to the structural design of the swivel mechanisms are many possible solutions. The simplest is probably that two separate and independently acting pivot pins are provided. This training however, requires the seat occupant to operate the armrest first rotate about its longitudinal axis by about 900 and then pivot. There are however, designs are also possible in which the seat user only uses the armrest must move up or down. Such solutions are in the exemplary embodiments described in more detail.

Vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Armlehne mit einer auf den Sitzbenutzer zu gerichteten Ausbuchtung versehen ist, wodurch die Armlehne bei ausreichender Breite trotzdem nicht störend in die Sitzfläche einragt.It is advantageous if the armrest with one on the seat user to directed bulge is provided, whereby the armrest with sufficient Width does not interfere with the seat.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigt Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf zwei Vordersitze eines Kraft fahrzeuges mit je einer Armlehne und Fig. 2 die Lagerung der Armlehne eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and described in more detail below. 1 shows a plan view of two front seats a motor vehicle, each with an armrest and Fig. 2, the storage of the armrest of a second embodiment.

Zwei in Fig. 1 in Draufsicht dargestellte Vordersitze 3 und 5 eines Personenkraftwagens sind an den einander zugewandten Seiten mit Armlehnen 7 bzw. 9 versehen, wobei die Armlehne 7 in ihrer Gebrauchsstellung und die Armlehne 9 in ihrer hochgeschwenkten Stellung dargestellt sind. Jede Armlehne ist auf der dem Sitzbenutzer zugewandten Seite mit einer Ausbuchtung 11 versehen, durch welche sichergestellt werden soll, daß die in die Sitzfläche des Vordersitzes einragende Armlehne den Sitzbenutzer nicht hindert. Die Fig. 1 zeigt außerdem einen Handbremshebel 13, angeordnet zwischen den beiden Vordersitzen 3 und 5 und durch den Abstand der Armlehnen 7 und 9 gut zugänglich.Two front seats 3 and 5, shown in plan view in FIG. 1 Passenger cars are on the facing sides with Armrests 7 and 9 provided, the armrest 7 in its position of use and the armrest 9 are shown in their pivoted up position. Every armrest is provided with a bulge 11 on the side facing the seat user, by which it is to be ensured that the in the seat of the front seat The protruding armrest does not prevent the user of the seat. Fig. 1 also shows one Hand brake lever 13, arranged between the two front seats 3 and 5 and through the distance between the armrests 7 and 9 easily accessible.

Die Armlehne 7 ist durch eine in Fahrzeuquerrichtung verlaufende erste Drehachse 15, gebildet durch einen Zapfen 17 von ihrer Gebrauchslage in die Ruhelage und umgekehrt schwenkbar. Der Zapfen 17 ist von einer Buchse 19 umschlossen, welche einen in der Armlehne 7 drehbar aufgenommenen Zapfen 21 trägt. Neben der Aufnahme für den Zapfen 21 weist die Armlehne 7 außerdem einen Führungsbolzen 23 auf, welcher in einer bogenförmigen Nut 25 geführt ist. Diese Ausbildung bewirkt, daß beim Hochklappen der Armlehne 7 aus der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Gebrauchslage nach oben die Armlehne um den Zapfen 21 um 900 verschwenkt wird.The armrest 7 is through a first extending in the vehicle transverse direction Axis of rotation 15, formed by a pin 17 from its position of use to the rest position and vice versa pivotable. The pin 17 is enclosed by a socket 19 which carries a pin 21 rotatably received in the armrest 7. In addition to the recording for the pin 21, the armrest 7 also has a guide pin 23, which is guided in an arcuate groove 25. This training causes that when you fold up the armrest 7 from the position of use shown in Fig. 1 upwards the armrest is pivoted about the pin 21 by 900.

Ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Lagerung der Armlehne 7 bzw.A second embodiment of the mounting of the armrest 7 or

9 zeigt Fig. 2. Dort ist ebenfalls ein feststehendes Zapfen 27 vorgesehen, um welchen die Armlehne 7 mittels einer Hülse 29 um eine horizontale, in Fahrzeugquerrichtung verlaufende Drehachse 31 verschwenkbar ist. Eine zweite, zur ersten Drehachse 31 senkrecht verlaufende Drehachse 33 wird durch einen zweiten Zapfen 35 gebildet, welcher im Gegensatz zum erstbeschriebenen Ausführungsbespiel nicht an der Hülse, sondern starr an der Armlehne 7 befestigt ist. Der Zapfen 35 wird schwenkbar in einer Bohrung 37 der Hülse 29 aufgenommen und ist mit einer Verzahnung 39 versehen, in welche eine am Zapfen 27 befestigte Zahnstange 41 eingreift. Bedingt durch die Zahnstange 41 in Verbindung mit der Verzahnung 39 wird erreicht, daß beim Hochschwenken der Armlehne 7 diese gleichzeitig verschwenkt wird. Die Verzahnung ist so abgestimmt, daß beim Hochschwenken der Armlehne 7 von ihrer Gebrauchslage in ihre Ruhestellung ein Schwenkwinkel von 900 um den zweiten Zapfen 35 erreicht wird.9 shows FIG. 2. A fixed pin 27 is also provided there, around which the armrest 7 by means of a sleeve 29 to a horizontal, in the vehicle transverse direction extending axis of rotation 31 is pivotable. A second axis of rotation 31 to the first perpendicular axis of rotation 33 is formed by a second pin 35, which, in contrast to the first example described, is not attached to the case, but is rigidly attached to the armrest 7. The pin 35 is pivotable in a bore 37 of the sleeve 29 and is provided with a toothing 39, in which a rack 41 attached to the pin 27 engages. Due to the Rack 41 in connection with the toothing 39 is achieved that when pivoting up the armrest 7 this is pivoted at the same time. The toothing is coordinated in such a way that that when swiveling up the armrest 7 of their Usage position in their rest position a pivot angle of 900 about the second pin 35 is reached.
