Abstract

The armrest (1) moves at right angles to its fastening surface, when subjected to pressure. It has a full-length structure (6,9), which is elastic at least under pressure. Rigidity is dimensioned, so that under a correspondingly high pressure, a deformation of the armrest takes place, so that a surface is formed, which is approx. flush with the fastening surface (13). The armrest has hinges or full-length rated breaking lines (9) on the inside (7). The lines are stepped relative to a hollow chamber (10), so that the armrest is telescopically moved at right angles to the fastening surface. USE/ADVANTAGE - Armrest in vehicle is of simple construction, and undergoes targetted deformation under pressure, otherwise is sufficiently rigid.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Armlehne gemäß dem Oberbe­ griff des Anspruchs 1, die insbesondere an einer Tür oder einer Seitenwand eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet ist.The invention relates to an armrest according to the Oberbe handle of claim 1, in particular on a door or a side wall of a motor vehicle is arranged.

Aus der DE-OS 30 08 166 ist bereits eine Armlehne be­ kannt, die einen Grundkörper aufweist, der sich bei einer entsprechenden Krafteinwirkung senkrecht zu seiner Be­ festigungsfläche unter Energieabsorption bleibend ver­ formt. Dieser Grundkörper weist stufenförmige Absätze auf, wobei die Verbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Ab­ sätzen bei Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen Stoßbelastung abscherbar sind, so daß sich die einzelnen Absätze des Grundkörpers teleskopartig ineinander schieben. Um eine ausreichende Steifigkeit bei einer Belastung auf Biegung und/oder auf Zug zu erhalten, sind zwei Grundkörper vor­ gesehen, die durch ein Verbindungselement miteinander verbunden sind. Dies hat den Nachteil einer relativ auf­ wendigen und damit teueren Bauweise.From DE-OS 30 08 166 an armrest is already be knows, which has a body that is in a corresponding force perpendicular to its loading strengthening surface remains under energy absorption forms. This base body has step-shaped shoulders on, with the connections between the individual Ab rates when a given shock load is exceeded are shearable, so that the individual paragraphs of the Push the main body into each other telescopically. To one sufficient rigidity when subjected to bending and / or to get on train, two basic bodies are in front seen through a connecting element with each other are connected. This has the disadvantage of being relatively agile and therefore expensive construction.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Armlehne zu schaffen, die sich bei einer Druckeinwirkung senkrecht zu einer Be­ festigungsfläche gezielt verformt und in den übrigen Be­ lastungsrichtungen eine ausreichende Steifigkeit auf­ weisen, wobei der Aufbau der Armlehne möglichst einfach sein soll.The object of the invention is to create an armrest, which are perpendicular to a loading when subjected to pressure reinforcement surface specifically deformed and in the other Be sufficient rigidity  point, the structure of the armrest as simple as possible should be.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer gattungsge­ mäßen Armlehne durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is inventively in a genus moderate armrest by the characteristics of the characteristic Part of claim 1 solved.

Durch die Ausbildung einer nachgiebigen Struktur, die sich zumindest über die gesamte Länge des Armauflagenbe­ reichs erstreckt, ist gewährleistet, daß sich die Arm­ lehne an jeder Stelle gleichmäßig verformt. Der Verfor­ mungsbereich ist so gewählt, daß sich die Armlehne maxi­ mal bis zur Befestigungsfläche bewegen kann und dort eine mehr oder weniger bündige Fläche mit der Befestigungsflä­ che, die ein Verkleidungsbauteil sein kann, bildet. Auf­ grund der Verformung der Armlehne erfolgt ein Energieab­ bau, so daß die Verletzungsgefahr verringert ist. Durch die nachgiebige Armlehne wird der Überlebensraum für den Insassen eines Kraftfahrzeuges vergrößert.By forming a compliant structure that at least over the entire length of the armrest Reichs extends, it is guaranteed that the arm lean evenly deformed at every point. The Verfor mungsbereich is chosen so that the armrest maxi times to the mounting surface and there one more or less flush surface with the fastening surface surface, which can be a cladding component. On due to the deformation of the armrest there is an energy loss construction so that the risk of injury is reduced. By the compliant armrest becomes the survival space for the Increased occupants of a motor vehicle.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform ermöglicht die teleskop­ artige Verschiebbarkeit der gesamten Armlehne eine gleichmäßige Verformung.In a first embodiment, the telescope like displacement of the entire armrest one uniform deformation.

In einer zweiten Ausführungsform ist durch das Wegklappen eines Großteils der in den Fahrzeuginnenraum vorstehenden Armlehne sowie durch das gleichzeitige Falten oder Knicken der Oberseite der Armauflage eine relativ unkom­ plizierte Bauweise möglich.In a second embodiment is by folding away much of the protruding into the vehicle interior Armrest as well as by simultaneously folding or Kinking the top of the armrest a relatively uncomfortable complicated construction possible.

Die Ausbildung der Armlehne in einer dritten Ausführungs­ form mit einem Kern in Form einer weichen Wabenstruktur, wobei die Waben oder Hohlprofile senkrecht stehen, so daß die Durchgangsöffnungen nach oben bzw. unten zeigen, wird einerseits eine hohe Steifigkeit in senkrechter Richtung und gleichzeitig eine gute Verformbarkeit in waagrechter Richtung, d. h. senkrecht zur Befestigungsfläche, er­ reicht.The formation of the armrest in a third version shape with a core in the form of a soft honeycomb structure, the honeycombs or hollow profiles are vertical so that the through openings point upwards or downwards on the one hand high rigidity in the vertical direction and at the same time good ductility in horizontal  Direction, d. H. perpendicular to the mounting surface, he enough.

Während bei den oben genannten drei Ausführungsformen eine bleibende Verformung entsteht, federt bei der vier­ ten Ausführungsform bis zu einem gewissen Verformungsgrad die eingedrückte Stelle der Armlehne wieder zurück. Dies ist dadurch möglich, daß die Struktur der Armlehne ein federndes Wellprofil aufweist, das beispielsweise aus ei­ nem geeigneten Kunststoff oder aus einem dünnen Feder­ stahl hergestellt ist.While in the above three embodiments a permanent deformation arises, springs with the four th embodiment up to a certain degree of deformation the indented position of the armrest back again. This is possible because the structure of the armrest has resilient corrugated profile, for example made of egg suitable plastic or from a thin spring steel is made.
