A recess 12 is provided.

  FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the door trim main body 2 when it is cut between the connecting portion 6 and the armrest 7 and between the armrest 7 and the tail portion 8. An opening 10 is formed in the support wall 4 between the connecting portion 6 and the tail portion 8 and penetrating in a substantially square shape on the vehicle exterior side of the armrest 7. Protrusions 11 projecting outward from the vehicle are provided at approximately the center of the front and rear edges of the opening 10 in the vertical direction. The protrusions 11 are formed in a plate shape having a pair of front and rear and having main surfaces facing the front and rear.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a pair of plate-like links 13 extending in the vehicle width direction and connecting them are provided between the armrest 7 and the support wall 4 in the front-rear direction. Each link 13 is coupled to the surface on the opening 10 side of the protrusion 11 on one end side (the vehicle outer side) so as to be rotatable about an axis X extending in the front-rear direction.

It is coupled so as to be pivotable about the center. Further, a holding mechanism R that holds the link 13 with respect to the door trim main body 2 at an arbitrary angle is provided between the link 13 on the front side and the protrusion 11. As the holding mechanism R, for example, a known ratchet mechanism having a lock gear having a plurality of tooth portions and a lock claw that is biased toward the tooth portions and can be engaged with the tooth portions may be used. . The holding mechanism R can support the load of the armrest 7 so that the link 13 does not rotate due to the load of the armrest 7. Even if the holding mechanism R is provided only between the rear link 13 and the protrusion 11, the holding mechanism R is provided between the front link 13 and the protrusion 11 and between the rear link 13 and the protrusion 11. It may be provided in both.

  As shown in FIG. 3, between the armrest 7 and the support wall 4, an upper restriction member 15 </ b> U and a lower restriction member 15 </ b> D that restrict the displacement of the armrest 7 are paired symmetrically with each other. Is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper regulating member 15 </ b> U has a first coupling portion 16 </ b> U that extends upward in a plate shape along the side surface of the support wall 4 on the vehicle outer side. A locking portion 17 that engages with the first coupling portion 16U and restricts the movement toward the vehicle outer side is provided on the side surface of the support wall 4 on the vehicle outer side. In the present embodiment, the locking portion 17 is formed above the opening 10 so as to make a pair in the front-rear direction. The locking portion 17 includes a base portion 18A that protrudes outward from the support wall and a locking claw portion 18B that extends in a direction facing the protruding end of the base portion. Movement in the vehicle width direction is restricted by the first coupling portion 16U being sandwiched between the support wall 4 and the locking claw portion 18B. Further, the distance of the base portion 18A is set to be approximately equal to the width in the front-rear direction of the first coupling portion 16U. Therefore, the first coupling portion 16U is sandwiched from the front and back by the base portion 18A, and movement of the first coupling portion 16U in the front-rear direction is restricted. Therefore, the first coupling portion 16U is coupled to the support wall 4 so as to be slidable only in the vertical direction. The width in the front-rear direction of the first coupling portion 16U is set to be approximately equal to the width in the front-rear direction of the opening 10 so that the vehicle outer side of the door trim main body 2 is not exposed from the vehicle inner side through the opening 10. . Moreover, since the 1st coupling | bond part 16U is arrange | positioned so that it may extend along the vehicle outer side surface of the support wall 4, the upper end of the 1st coupling | bond part 16U is not exposed to the vehicle inner side, and the design property is improved. .

  The upper regulating member 15U further includes a plate-like second coupling portion 19U that passes through the opening 10 from the lower end of the first coupling portion 16U and protrudes substantially horizontally inside the vehicle and parallel to the upper surface of the armrest 7. Have. The second connecting portion 19U extends in the front-rear direction between the support wall 4 and the armrest 7, and the width in the front-rear direction is set to be approximately equal to the width in the front-rear direction of the recess 12. Therefore, the second coupling portion 19U covers the gap between the support wall 4 and the armrest 7 from above, and it is difficult for foreign matter to be caught in the gap. Further, since the gap is covered from above, it is not exposed to the eye, so that the design is improved. Projections 14A and 14B projecting in opposite directions are formed on the opposing surfaces of the front wall 7F and the rear wall 7B of the armrest 7, respectively. The second coupling portion 19U extends to the recess 12 of the armrest 7, is sandwiched between the protrusions 14A and 14B, and the upper wall 7U, and is accommodated so as to be slidable in the vehicle width direction with respect to the armrest 7. Therefore, the armrest 7 is coupled to the second coupling portion 19U so as to be slidable in the vehicle width direction.

  Thus, the first coupling portion 16U is coupled to the support wall 4 so as to be slidable up and down, and the armrest 7 is coupled to the second coupling portion 19U so as to be slidable in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the displacement of the armrest 7 is restricted by the upper restricting member 15U only up and down with respect to the door trim body 2 and parallel movement in the vehicle width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lower restriction member 15D is provided below the upper restriction member 15U. The lower regulating member 15D includes a first coupling portion 16D extending downward along the lower support wall 4 of the opening 10, and a second coupling portion 19D extending from the upper end of the first coupling portion 16D to the vehicle inner side. . Below the opening 10, similarly to the locking part 17 formed above the opening 10, a locking part 17 that forms a pair in the front-rear direction is formed. The first coupling portion 16D is coupled to the support wall 4 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, similarly to the first coupling portion 16U of the upper regulating member 15U, by a locking portion 17 provided below the opening portion 10. The second coupling portion 19D extends to the recess 12 formed in the armrest 7, and includes projections 14C and 14D provided on the front surface 7F and the rear wall 7B of the armrest 7 and the lower wall 7D of the armrest 7 It is sandwiched between. Therefore, the armrest 7 is supported so as to be slidable in the vehicle width direction with respect to the second coupling portion 19D of the lower regulating member 15D. Therefore, similarly to the upper restricting member 15U, the displacement of the armrest 7 is restricted by the lower restricting member 15D only in the vertical direction with respect to the door trim body 2 and in the parallel movement in the vehicle width direction.

  Next, the operation and effect of the door trim 1 will be described. When the armrest 7 is in the projecting position (the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4) that protrudes to the innermost side of the vehicle, when the occupant applies an upward load to the armrest 7, the link 13 It pivots upward about an axis X that extends forward and backward through the coupling portion. As the link 13 rotates, the end of the link 13 on the armrest 7 side moves upward and to the outside of the vehicle, so the armrest 7 moves upward and to the outside of the vehicle (solid line in FIG. 4). Therefore, the armrest 7 can be disposed so as to match the position of the elbow of the large passenger.

  The displacement of the armrest 7 is limited to parallel movement only by the upper regulating member 15U and the lower regulating member 15D. Therefore, the link 13 rotates about the axis Y (see FIG. 3) according to the displacement of the end of the link 13 on the armrest 7 side, and the armrest 7 is always maintained so that its upper surface is horizontal. Therefore, since the upper surface of the armrest 7 is kept horizontal regardless of the rotation angle of the link 13 with respect to the door trim main body 2, the occupant can easily place the elbow on the upper surface of the armrest 7, and the usability of the armrest 7 is improved. .

  Further, the rotation angle of the armrest 7 with respect to the door trim body 2 is held by the holding mechanism R. Therefore, the armrest 7 does not move regardless of the passenger's intention. Further, when the armrest 7 is moved downward from the protruding position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 5), the armrest 7 is displaced downward and to the vehicle outer side, and becomes the storage position (solid line in FIG. 5). At this time, since the armrest 7 is moved downward and to the outside of the vehicle, the armrest 7 does not interfere with the occupant.

  The gap between the armrest 7 and the support wall 4 is sandwiched from above and below by the upper regulating member 15U and the lower regulating member 15D, and is sandwiched by the connecting portion 6 from the front side and the tail portion 8 from the rear side. Therefore, the gap between the armrest 7 and the support wall 4 is covered from the front and the back and from the top and bottom by the upper regulating member 15U, the lower regulating member 15D, the connecting portion 6, and the tail portion 8. Therefore, the gap between the armrest 7 and the support wall 4 is not exposed to the outside, and it is difficult for foreign matter to be caught in the gap, and the gap is not exposed to the outside, so that the design is improved.

  This is the end of the description of the specific embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In the present embodiment, the opening 10 is formed so as to penetrate the support wall 4 in the vehicle width direction, but may be in any form that allows communication between the vehicle outer side and the vehicle inner side. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a bulging portion 50 in which a part of the support wall 4 bulges toward the inside of the vehicle is formed, and the opening 52 is formed as a hole penetrating vertically in the bulging portion 50. Also good. Even in this case, since the first coupling portions 16D and 16U are arranged along the outer wall surface of the support wall 4, the upper and lower ends of the first coupling portions 16D and 16U are not exposed to the inner side of the vehicle, The design is enhanced. Moreover, the protrusion part 11 is not limited to the aspect protruded to the vehicle outer side from the support wall 4, You may be provided so that it may protrude to the vehicle inner side.
