[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an armrest with an inner lid for an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Among automobile armrests, a so-called box type is one in which a lid is attached to a box-shaped armrest body by a hinge. It is known that the sheet is made into sheets and the inner lid has a function as a table. The hinge structure of such an armrest with a middle lid is as shown in FIG. 4, in which three joints 2, 3, 4 are attached to a common hinge pin 1, and the first joint 2 is an armrest body. , The second combination 3 is fixed to the inner lid, and the third combination 4 is fixed to the outer lid.

In order to conceal such a hinge structure, it is also known to extend the rear end of the outer lid 5 around the hinge pin 1 to form a concealing portion 5a as shown in FIG. However, in the armrest with the inner lid, since the third coupling body 4 supporting the inner lid 6 needs to be rotated around the hinge pin 1 as described above, the concealing portion formed at the rear end of the outer lid 5 is required. 5a needs to be cut out, and since the metal hinge structure can be seen from the cutout portion, there is a problem that the texture and appearance are impaired.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the metal hinge structure is not exposed from the cutout portion of the concealing portion of the outer lid, which may impair the texture and appearance. It was completed to provide an armrest with no inner lid.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. According to the present invention, an inner lid and an outer lid are connected to a box-shaped armrest body by three joints pivotally connected to a common hinge pin. In the armrest with the inner lid, the surface of the coupling supporting the inner lid is formed in a bag shape that conforms to the outer shape of the coupling, and the shape of the rear end is a curved surface at the rear end of the outer lid. It is characterized by being covered by the combined soft covering member.

[0006]

[Function] In the armrest with the inner lid according to the present invention, it is necessary to form a notch in the concealing portion of the outer lid.
In the present invention, since the surface of the second coupling member supporting the inner lid is covered with the soft covering member, the metal hinge structure is not exposed from the notch portion as in the related art. For this reason, there is no possibility that the texture and appearance are impaired. In addition, by adjusting the shape of the covering member to the curved shape of the rear end of the outer lid, the appearance can be further improved.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to embodiments. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. As described above, reference numeral 1 denotes a hinge pin, 2 denotes a first assembly attached to the hinge pin 1, and 3 denotes a second joint attached to the hinge pin 1. Conjugate 4 is the third conjugate. The first combination 2 is fixed to the armrest body 7, the second combination 3 is fixed to the inner lid 6, and the third combination 4 is
It is fixed to. Reference numeral 5a denotes a concealing portion formed at the rear end of the outer lid 5 for concealing the hinge structure. The concealing portion 5a is formed with a cutout portion 5b for the second combined body 3. .

As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, a covering member 8 made of a soft resin is attached to the surface of the second combination 3. The entire covering member 8 has a bag shape that conforms to the outer shape of the second combined body 3 and is covered with the second combined body 3 using elasticity. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the second joint body 3 has a step around the screwed portion with the inner lid 6, and the edge of the covering member 8 is fitted to the step. , Are securely attached to the second combined body 3. In addition, as for the leg 3a connecting the second joint 3 to the hinge pin 1, a slit 9 is formed in the covering member 8 as shown in FIG. 3b so that the leg 3a is not exposed. In order to improve the appearance, it is preferable that the shape of the rear end of the covering member 8 conforms to the curved shape of the rear end of the outer lid 5.

The armrest with the inner lid thus constructed according to the present invention has the outer lid 5 centered on the common hinge pin 1.
And the inner lid 6 can be freely opened and closed. The notch 5b for the second coupling body 3 formed in the concealing portion 5a at the rear end of the outer lid 5 allows a part of the hinge structure. The fact that a certain second combined body 3 is visible is the same as in the prior art. However, in the present invention, the surface of the second coupling body 3 has a soft covering member 8.
Since the metal hinge structure is not exposed, the appearance and texture appropriate for a luxury car can be obtained.

[0010]

As described above, the armrest with the inner lid according to the present invention can open the outer lid and use the inner lid as a table, and also, the surface of the combined body that supports the inner lid is covered with a soft covering member. Since the cover prevents the metal hinge structure from being exposed and enhances the texture and appearance, there is a very large practical value as an armrest with an inner lid that solves the conventional problems.
