FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the mounting structure of the armrest, FIGS. 5 and 6 show a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the mounting structure of the armrest. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the armrest mounting structure.

  1 and 2, a door trim 10 is molded into a desired curved surface shape, and is mounted on the indoor surface of a door panel (not shown), and is bulged indoors at the center of the surface of the door trim main body 20. The armrest 30 is generally composed of an armrest 30 attached to the upper surface of the armrest support portion 21 to be formed.

  More specifically, the door trim main body 20 is composed of an injection molded body of a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene (PP) resin, polyethylene (PE) resin, ABS resin, or a mold press molded body. A bonded structure in which a fabric sheet such as a woven fabric or a nonwoven fabric is attached to the entire surface or a part of the surface can also be applied. A door pocket opening 22 is formed below the armrest support portion 21 of the door trim main body 20, and a speaker grille 23 is formed integrally or separately from the door trim main body 20 on the front side thereof. Further, the door trim main body 20 on the upper side of the armrest 30 may be affixed with a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric or the like as the inscribed portion 24 if desired.

  On the other hand, the armrest 30 is also composed of a general-purpose synthetic resin injection molded body such as PP resin, PE resin, ABS resin, etc., and a switch portion 31 in which operation switches such as a power window switch are integrated is set on the front side. On the rear side, a pull handle portion 32 is integrally formed in a case shape having an upper surface opened.

  And the attachment structure which attaches this armrest 30 to the door trim main body 20 is demonstrated below. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of locking pieces 33 project on the inner surface of the armrest 30 with their tips directed downward so as to engage with the edge of the opening 25 formed on the upper surface of the armrest support portion 21 of the door trim body 20. The armrest 30 can be easily attached with one touch by locking the locking piece 33 to the edge of the upper surface opening 25.

  By the way, in the present invention, when the armrest 30 is attached to the door trim body 20, the surface of the contact portion 24 of the door trim body 20 is in a position where it interferes with the mounting direction of the armrest 30. It is to provide. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the vertical wall flange 26 is erected along the vehicle interior side of the upper surface opening 25 of the armrest support portion 21 of the door trim main body 20, and the inner wall is located at two left and right sides of the vertical wall flange 26. On the side, a contact surface 27 is formed which falls in a stepped shape and becomes an inclined surface. The inclined contact surface 27 may be provided over the entire length of the vertical wall flange 26.

  On the other hand, a guide rib 34 is formed on the inner surface of the armrest 30 at a position corresponding to the abutment surface 27. The leading edge 34 a of the guide rib 34 substantially coincides with the inclination direction of the contact surface 27. Moreover, when the contact surface 27 is provided over the full length of the vertical wall flange 26, the formation location of the guide rib 34 can be set arbitrarily.

  Therefore, in order to attach the armrest 30 to the armrest support portion 21 of the door trim main body 20, as shown in FIG. 4, the armrest 30 is moved from the dotted line position to the solid line position in the figure. The sliding direction of the provided guide rib 34 to the contact surface 27 provided on the vertical wall flange 26 in the armrest support portion 21 can restrict the mounting direction of the armrest 30 in the direction of the arrow P in FIG. The armrest 30 can be attached to the door trim main body 20 easily and neatly while protecting the product surface of the door trim main body 20 without interfering with the intermediate portion 24. In this embodiment, the contact direction 27 on the door trim main body 20 side and the guide rib 34 of the armrest 30 constitute an attachment direction restricting structure A of the armrest 30.

  Further, as a detailed structure, a 0.5 mm gap (indicated by reference numeral d1 in the figure) is set between the inner inner edge 30A of the armrest 30 and the door trim body 20, and between the contact surface 27 and the guide rib 34. If a 0.2 mm gap (indicated by reference sign d2 in the drawing) is set, a 0.3 mm gap can be secured at a minimum.

  5 and 6 show a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In this modification, instead of the guide rib 34 provided on the armrest 30, a guide boss 35 is projected at the same location. Therefore, in this modification, the mounting direction restricting structure A of the armrest 30 is configured by the contact surface 27 of the door trim body 20 and the guide boss 35 of the armrest 30. Then, the tip end surface 35a of the guide boss 35 is slidably contacted in the direction of the arrow P along the contact surface 27 of the armrest support portion 21, so that the armrest 30 can be easily removed without interfering with the intermediate portion 24 of the door trim main body 20. It can be attached and the same effect as the above-mentioned embodiment can be obtained. Also in this modification, the contact surface 27 may be provided over the entire length of the vertical wall flange 26.

  7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 7 and 8 are explanatory views of the mounting structure of the armrest 30, and FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which the form of the armrest 30 is changed.

  In the second embodiment, as a configuration on the door trim main body 20 side, a vertical wall flange 26 is erected on the front side edge portion of the upper surface opening 25 of the armrest support portion 21, and two left and right positions on the front surface of the vertical wall flange 26 are provided. On the other hand, an abutting rib 28 having an inclined edge portion which inclines toward the inner back side as it goes downward is erected. On the other hand, the armrest 30 is provided with a flange 36 extending inward along the lower edge of the front side edge portion 30B by eliminating the standing of the guide rib 34 and the guide boss 35 on the inner surface.

  Therefore, the mounting direction restricting structure A of the armrest 30 includes the contact rib 28 of the door trim body 20 and the flange 36 of the armrest 30. And in order to attach this armrest 30 to the armrest support part 21, as shown in FIG. 8, the flange 36 of the armrest 30 is brought into sliding contact from the upper part to the lower part of the abutting rib 28 provided on the door trim main body 20, As shown by an arrow P in FIG. 8, the mounting direction of the armrest 30 can be regulated from the dotted line position to the solid line position, without touching the middle part 24 of the door trim body 20, while protecting the middle part 24 surface, The armrest 30 can be easily and smartly attached. As a modification, instead of forming the abutment rib 28, the same effect can be obtained by forming the vertical wall flange 26 in an inclined shape over the entire length of the vehicle interior side edge.

  Further, the armrest 30 used in the first and second embodiments is a single resin molded body in which the switch portion 31 and the pull handle portion 32 are integrated, but as shown in FIG. 9, the armrest core material 30a.
