  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated using drawing.

  First, the configuration of the table 10 (vehicle table) according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the table 10 of the present embodiment is provided by being attached to a vertical plate-like base 4 that is erected on the left side of a seat 1 of an automobile. Here, the above-described seat 1 is configured to include a seat back 2 serving as a seat back portion and a seat cushion 3 serving as a seat portion. A vertical plate-like base 4 is attached to the left side of the seat cushion 3 so as to rise from the same side. The base 4 described above is provided in a state where it rises obliquely from the left side of the seat cushion 3 toward the outside (left side) in the seat width direction. And the upper edge part of the said base 4 is provided in the state by which one side of the base side of the table 10 mentioned above was hinge-connected.

  Specifically, the above-described table 10 is configured by three flat plate-like divided tables 11A to 11C that are joined in a form that is aligned in the sheet width direction. The divided tables 11A to 11C are hingedly connected to each other by the connecting members 12A to 12C having a lock function including a pair of front and rear hinges whose axial directions are the front and rear directions. It is set as the structure. With the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the table 10 is unfolded so that the divided tables 11 </ b> A to 11 </ b> C are arranged straight and horizontally from the upper edge of the base 4 to the inner side (right side) in the sheet width direction. It can be made into the state made to do. In the unfolded state, the table 10 can lock the connecting positions 12A to 12C and lock the rotation positions of the divided tables 11A to 11C.

  2 to 3, the table 10 is left in the middle of the split table 11B in the middle and the tip side of the split table 11A connected to the base 4 as described above. The partition table 11C is unlocked and the hinges are rotated to the front side so as to be folded back to the outside of the seat after unlocking the corresponding couplers 12B and 12C, so that the middle partition table 11B is placed on the root partition table 11A. The split table 11C on the front end side can be folded into an inverted L-shape that is folded on the outer surface of the base 4. In the folded state, the table 10 can lock the connecting positions 12B and 12C again to lock the rotation positions of the divided tables 11B and 11C.

  As described above, the table 10 is folded in an inverted L shape so that it can be locked, so that the middle divided table 11B provided in a state in which the top plate surface is formed on the upper edge of the base 4 It can function suitably as armrest A / R. Further, as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4, even when the table 10 is unfolded so as to be arranged in a straight line from the upper edge of the base 4 to the inner side (right side) in the sheet width direction, The split table 11A on the base side provided in a state where the top plate surface is formed on the upper edge portion can function as the armrest A / R as described above.

  Further, the table 10 can be arranged in various forms as shown in FIGS. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the table 10 is configured such that the base-side split table 11 </ b> A is hinged to the front side so that the base-side split table 11 </ b> A rises straight from the upper edge of the base 4, and the remaining split table 11 </ b> B Only the side division table 11C can be horizontally expanded inward (right side) in the sheet width direction. With the above arrangement, the use height of the table 10 can be raised by starting up the divided table 11A on the base side. Moreover, the use height of armrest A / R comprised by the division | segmentation table 11B of the center can also be raised by said arrangement.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the table 10 is further hinged to the front side so that the middle divided table 11B rises straight from the divided table 11A on the base side from the state of FIG. Only the division table 11C can be horizontally expanded inward (right side) in the sheet width direction. With the arrangement described above, the use height of the table 10 can be further increased by starting up the middle divided table 11B. Moreover, the use height of armrest A / R comprised by the division | segmentation table 11C of the front end side can also be raised further by said arrangement.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the table 10 is hinged to the front side so that the split table 11C on the front end side also rises straight from the middle split table 11B from the state of FIG. The division tables 11A to 11C can be formed to rise from the upper edge of the base 4. With the arrangement described above, the table 10 can function as a partition that forms a high standing wall on the left side of the seat cushion 3, not as an object.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the table 10 has only the middle division table 11B in a state in which the division table 11A on the base side and the division table 11C on the tip side are horizontally expanded from the state of FIG. Can be switched to a form in which a stepped table surface is formed by rotating the hinge so as to rise upward. With the arrangement described above, the split table 11C on the tip side can be pulled up to a higher position while using the split table 11A on the base side as an armrest A / R. The table 10 can lock the rotation positions of the divided tables 11A to 11C by locking the couplers 12A to 12C in the respective states shown in FIGS.

  By the way, the size of each of the division tables 11A to 11C described above has the following relationship. That is, the base-side division table 11A and the middle division table 11B have a narrow shape having substantially the same lateral width. Further, the tip-side split table 11C has a wide shape with a wider width than the root-side split table 11A and the middle split table 11B. The thickness and front / rear length of each of the divided tables 11A to 11C are substantially the same.

  Since each of the divided tables 11A to 11C described above has the size relationship as described above, when these are folded into an inverted L shape as described above with reference to FIGS. The base-side split table 11A and the middle split table 11B can form an armrest A / R having an appropriate overhang width (horizontal width) that does not disturb the seated person. In addition, the split table 11C on the front end side having a wide width can be compactly folded on the base 4 at a position where the split table 11C is approached without being greatly separated from the base 4 to the outside.

  Further, as described above with reference to FIGS. 5 to 6 and 8, the rising width when raising the use height of the table 10 by raising the base side split table 11 </ b> A and the middle split table 11 </ b> B is not too large. The use height can be adjusted with a relatively fine adjustment range. In addition, since the split table 11C on the front end side has a wider width than the other split tables 11B and 11A, even if the other split tables 11B and 11A are raised to adjust the height, A wide table surface can be secured only by the side division table 11C.

  As shown in FIG. 9, each of the couplers 12 </ b> A to 12 </ b> C that hinge-connect the edges of each of the divided tables 11 </ b> A to 11 </ b> C adjacent to each other has substantially the same basic structure. Yes. Specifically, each of the couplers 12A to 12C is configured to include a pair of front and rear hinges, but only the rear hinge is configured to have a lock function. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, each of the above-described rear connection tools 12 </ b> A to 12 </ b> C includes a male plate HA coupled to the above-described hinge-connected member, and the other The female plate HB coupled to the side member, the shaft bar HC that couples the female plate HB to each other so as to be axially rotatable in the height direction, and the moving bias to push the shaft rod HC back in the axial direction (backward direction). And a compression spring HD.

  Specifically, the male plate HA and the female plate HB described above are arranged side by side with each other, and the shaft bars HC are arranged from the rear side in the axial direction so that the adjacent edge portions straddle between the edge portions. By being inserted through, the shafts are connected so as to be relatively rotatable in the height direction. The above configuration will be described in detail. On the right edge connected to the female plate HB of the male plate HA described above, a partially protruding convex portion HA1 is formed at the middle portion in the front-rear direction. Yes. Further, the left edge portion connected to the male plate HA of the female plate HB described above is recessed in a shape in which the convex portion HA1 described above can be received and fitted in the middle portion in the front-rear direction. A recess HB1 is formed. The above-described convex portion HA1 and concave portion HB1 are formed with square holes HA2, HB2 that are assembled in a line aligned in the axial direction in the region portion that is fitted to each other and overlapped in the front-rear direction. Yes.

  The male plate HA and the female plate HB described above include the shaft rod HC described above in each of the square holes HA2 and HB2 formed by fitting the convex portion HA1 described above into the concave portion HB1 and penetrating them in the axial direction. Are inserted from the rear side in the axial direction, thereby being connected to each other via the coaxial rod HC. The above-described shaft rod HC is a square rod-shaped square rod portion HC1 that is inserted into a state in which a substantially front half region, which is the leading end side of the insertion, matches the shape of each of the square holes HA2 and HB2. The substantially half of the rear half is formed as a round bar portion HC2 having a round bar shape that is inserted into the above-described square holes HA2 and HB2 so as to be relatively rotatable.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the shaft rod HC having the above-described configuration has a rectangular hole HB2 when the above-described square rod portion HC1 on the distal end side is inserted into the square hole HB2 on the back side of the recess HB1 of the female plate HB. The square bar portion HC1 straddles the square hole HA2 of the male plate HA and the square hole HB2 on the back side of the female plate HB by receiving a force pushed back in the axial direction by the compression spring HD incorporated therein. Are held in the inserted state. In this state, the round bar HC2 is projected from the front (rear) square hole HB2 on the front side (rear side) of the female plate HB to the rear, and the square bar HC1 fitted over both the square holes HA2 and HB2 described above. Through this, the relative rotation between the male plate HA and the female plate HB is held in a stopped state.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the shaft rod HC is operated by pushing the round rod portion HC2 protruding from the front (rear) square hole HB2 of the female plate HB into the square rod portion. The HC1 is moved so as to pass through the square hole HA2 of the male plate HA and enter only into the square hole HB2 on the back side of the female plate HB. As a result, the round bar portion HC2 of the shaft bar HC is inserted between the square hole HB2 on the near side (rear side) of the female plate HB and the square hole HA2 of the male plate HA, and the round bar portion HC2 is Thus, the relative rotation between the male plate HA and the female plate HB is switched to a permitted state.

  Accordingly, the corresponding division tables 11A to 11C can be rotated in the height direction by the above operation. At this time, if the corresponding divided tables 11A to 11C are rotated and moved in the height direction as much as possible, the square holes HA2 on the male plate HA and the square holes HC1 on the back side into which the square bar portion HC1 of the female plate HB is inserted. Since the rotational positional relationship with HB2 is shifted, even if the operation of pushing in the shaft rod HC is stopped, the rotational operation of the corresponding divided tables 11A to 11C can be continued to the next locked position. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform an operation of changing the rotation positions of the corresponding division tables 11A to 11C.

  Further, if the corresponding divided tables 11A to 11C are rotated to the next lock position, the square hole HA2 of the male plate HA and the square hole HB2 on the back side into which the square bar portion HC1 of the female plate HB is inserted, So that the square bar portion HC1 is pushed back to the position where it enters the square hole HA2 of the male plate HA by the spring biasing force of the compression spring HD. It has become. With the above-described configuration, the corresponding divided tables 11A to 11C can be brought into the rotation-stopped state again at the positions where the rotation operations have been performed. Therefore, the operation of locking each of the corresponding divided tables 11A to 11C at the previous position after the rotational movement can be easily performed. The lock positions at which the rotation of each of the divided tables 11A to 11C is stopped are the rotation positions described above with reference to FIGS.

  In addition, you may extend the movable range of each division | segmentation table 11A-11C to the range beyond the movable range shown above. By expanding the movable range of each of the divided tables 11A to 11C, the divided tables 11A to 11C can be arranged to form an armrest A / R on the outside of the base 4, or each divided table 11A to 11C can be used as a base. It can arrange so that it may be folded in the state piled up on the outer side of the stand 4. Moreover, you may make it narrow the pitch of angle adjustment of each division | segmentation table 11A-11C from the pitch shown above. The angle adjustment pitch and lock position are the same as the shape of the square hole HA2 of the male plate HA, the square hole HB2 of the female plate HB, and the square bar portion HC1 of the shaft rod HC, respectively. Can be narrowed or changed. 10 to 13 and the configuration of each of the coupling tools 12A to 12C and the shaft rod HC are merely schematic representations of these basic structures, and each of the square holes HA2 and HB2 and the square rod portion. The exact shape of the HC1 is different for each lock position.

  In summary, the table 10 of this embodiment is configured as follows. That is, a vehicle table (table 10) supported in a cantilever manner, which is a plurality of divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C) arranged in a cantilever extending direction and a plurality of divided tables (divided table 11A). 11C), the angle of the second and subsequent specific divided tables (divided tables 11A and 11B) excluding the cantilevered tip side (divided table 11C) can be adjusted in the height direction with respect to the adjacent members in the row. And a connector (connectors 12A to 12C) that are hinge-connected so as to become.

  By adopting such a configuration, by adjusting the angle of the specific division table (division table 11A, 11B) in the height direction, another division table (division table 11C) connected to the front end side thereof. The height of the can be adjusted. Thus, the usage height of the table (table 10) can be adjusted by a rational configuration using the specific division table (division table 11A, 11B) itself as a member for height adjustment.

  The arrangement direction of the plurality of division tables (division tables 11A to 11C) is the vehicle width direction. With such a configuration, the use height of the table (table 10) can be adjusted without changing the front-rear position of the table (table 10).

  Further, the plurality of divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C) are composed of three or more, and each of them is hinge-connected so that the angle can be adjusted in the height direction with respect to the adjacent members in the line. Yes. With such a configuration, the usage height of the table (table 10) can be adjusted more effectively. Moreover, the usage form of the table (table 10) can be arranged in various forms.

  Of the plurality of divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C), a cantilever base-side divided table (divided table 11A) is erected on the side of the vehicle seat (sheet 1) (base). It is configured to function as an armrest (armrest A / R) connected to the base 4). With such a configuration, a part of the table (table 10) can function reasonably as an armrest (armrest A / R).

  In addition, a plurality of divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C) can be folded in a double manner by hinge rotation around the coupling tools (coupling tools 12A to 12C). With such a configuration, a plurality of divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C) can be switched to a compactly folded state.

  Further, a plurality of divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C) are folded so as to close each table surface inward. With such a configuration, each of the divided tables (divided tables 11A to 11C) can be folded into a shape in which each table surface is difficult to get dirty.

  As mentioned above, although the embodiment of the present invention has been described using one example, the present invention can be implemented in various forms in addition to the above example. For example, the vehicle table of the present invention may be used for other vehicles such as railways, aircrafts, ships and the like in addition to automobiles. In addition to the vehicle table attached to the vehicle seat, the vehicle table may be attached to a vehicle equipment other than the vehicle seat, such as a center console.

  In addition, the vehicle table may be composed of two divided tables, or may be composed of four or more divided tables. Further, the coupling tool may be configured so that the angle adjustment in the height direction of each divided table can be performed steplessly using a stepless angle adjustment mechanism such as a gear. Moreover, the structure which performs rotation stop of each division | segmentation table using the ratchet mechanism and the other rotation stop mechanism which stops rotation by frictional resistance may be sufficient as a connection tool. Moreover, the arrangement direction of each division table may be the front-rear direction. The vehicle table does not necessarily have to be a type that can be unfolded and stored, and may be configured such that only the angle adjustment in a state where it is unfolded at the use position can be performed.
