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

  First, the configuration of the table 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the table 10 according to the present embodiment has a configuration that is provided on the seat 1 of an automobile so that it can be unfolded and stored. Here, the seat 1 includes a seat back 2 that serves as a backrest for a seated person, and a seat cushion 3 that serves as a seating portion, and a support base that extends upward on a standing wall on the left and right sides of the seat cushion 3. 4 is provided. Each support base 4 has an armrest 5 on the upper surface thereof, so that a seated person can use it as an armrest.

  The table 10 described above includes a table main body 11 serving as an object table, and a table moving device 10M that connects the table main body 11 to a state in which the table main body 11 can be moved with respect to the support base 4 provided on the left side of the sheet 1 described above. It has a configuration. Here, the support 4 provided on the left side of the seat 1 corresponds to the “base” of the present invention. Specifically, the table moving device 10M described above is in a horizontal posture at the storage position (the position shown in FIGS. 4 to 6) in which the table body 11 is stored in the support base 4 and the front of the seated person. It can be moved between the use position (position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3) developed in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the table moving device 10 </ b> M described above includes a support arm 12 that supports the table main body 11 with respect to the support base 4. As shown in FIGS. 3, 6, and 9, the above-described support arm 12 is configured by a rectangular flat plate member, and an edge portion on one end side thereof is the first rotation inside the above-described support base 4. The shaft 12A is rotatably connected, and the edge on the other end side is rotatably connected to the bottom of the table body 11 by the second rotating shaft 12B.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the support arm 12 described above is in a state in which an intermediate portion near the tip side can be rotated in an out-of-plane direction by a third rotating shaft 12 </ b> C. It has a configuration. As a result, the support arm 12 pulls out the table main body 11 from the inside of the support base 4 at an oblique angle posture inside the support base 4 and then tilts the table main body 11 around the third rotation shaft 12C by turning it around. It is configured to be able to fall into the state of use position in a horizontal posture.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 8, the first rotating shaft 12 </ b> A described above is provided in the above-described support base 4 so that the axial direction thereof extends obliquely upward on the seat outer side. It is supposed to be in a state. In addition, the second rotating shaft 12B is in a state of being provided in an orientation that is parallel to the above-described first rotating shaft 12A in a flat plate state before the above-described support arm 12 is bent and rotated. . With such a configuration, the support arm 12 is tilted to the outside of the seat with respect to the support table 4 and is in a posture inclined about the first rotation shaft 12A. Rotating obliquely between the storage position (see FIGS. 4 to 6) housed inside and the unfolded position (FIGS. 7 to 9) drawn out to the inside of the seat of the support 4 It is in a state provided so that In addition, the support arm 12 described above includes the storage position (see FIGS. 4 to 6) stored in the support table 4 described above and the side surface inside the seat of the support table 4 with respect to the support table 4 described above. In order to be able to rotate only in an angle range of 90 degrees between the developed position (FIGS. 7 to 9) drawn out in the form of protruding from the opening 4A formed in the sheet to the inside of the sheet, The rotation range is regulated by a stopper structure (not shown) provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the support arm 12 described above has the first rotary shaft 12 </ b> A and the second rotary shaft 12 </ b> B arranged straight in the front-rear direction inside the support base 4 described above. As a state, the plate length direction is stored in a state in which it is directed straight in the front-rear direction. Then, the support arm 12 is rotated 90 degrees from the storage position inside the support base 4 toward the front inside the seat around the first rotation shaft 12A as shown in FIGS. The plate length direction is developed in a state in which the plate length direction is directed straightly and obliquely upward toward the inside of the seat. By this unfolding rotation, the support arm 12 is brought into a state where the third rotation shaft 12 </ b> C, which becomes a rotation shaft when the table main body 11 is dropped to a horizontal posture later, is pulled up to a position higher than the armrest 5. .

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the table main body 11 is constituted by a rectangular flat plate member, and is arranged around the third rotating shaft 12 </ b> C of the support arm 12 described above at an intermediate portion on the back surface side thereof. The front ends that can be folded are integrally connected. Thereby, the table main body 11 is in a state in which the table main body 11 can swing with respect to the support arm 12 described above around the third rotation shaft 12C. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the table main body 11 has an upper portion of the support arm 12 in the unfolded state in which the support arm 12 described above is pulled out obliquely upward from the inside of the support base 4. Swinging around the third rotating shaft 12C with respect to the support arm 12 between the inclined position where the shape is superimposed and the use position dropped from the inclined position to the horizontal angle. It is in a state where it can be rotated.

  Specifically, the table main body 11 described above is configured to be connected to the distal end portion of the support arm 12 at a position closer to the seat outer side than the central portion in the lateral width direction in a state where the table main body 11 is developed to the use position in the horizontal posture. Thereby, the table main body 11 is naturally dropped to the use position of a horizontal attitude | position by own weight, when the support arm 12 is expand | deployed to the diagonal angle attitude | position mentioned above. Further, the table main body 11 is configured to be easily maintained in a state in which it is difficult to be raised to the above-described tilted position by its own weight action even when the table body 11 is dropped into the use position of the horizontal posture by the above setting. .

  When the table main body 11 described above is dropped to the use position in the horizontal posture, the bottom surface of the distal end portion that is bent around the third rotation shaft 12C of the support arm 12 rotates to the main body portion of the support arm 12. When hitting the formed locking portion 12D, the rotation in the dropping direction is locked. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the table main body 11 described above has the second arm of the support arm 12 from the distal end of the support arm 12 around the second rotation shaft 12 </ b> B with respect to the support arm 12 described above. A rotation position in which the plate length direction extends in a direction opposite to the direction from the rotation shaft 12B toward the first rotation shaft 12A, and the tip of the support arm 12 as shown in FIGS. Provided between them so as to be rotatable only within an angular range of 180 degrees between the rotation position where the plate length direction extends in the direction from the second rotation shaft 12B toward the first rotation shaft 12A. The rotation range is regulated by the stopper structure (not shown).

  With such a configuration, the table main body 11 is configured such that when the above-described support arm 12 is stored in the support base 4 with the plate length direction in the front-rear direction, Each plate shape is overlapped in the height direction, and the plate length direction is oriented in the front-rear direction so as to be housed in the support base 4. At this time, the table main body 11 is also tilted obliquely outward of the seat because the support arm 12 described above is housed in a posture in which the support arm 12 is inclined obliquely outward of the seat inside the support base 4. As a state, it is accommodated in the support base 4. Thereby, the table main body 11 is accommodated in a compact posture state in the seat width direction inside the support base 4.

  Then, from the state in which the table main body 11 is housed in the support base 4 described above, the user operates the table main body 11 to pull in the seat inside, as shown in FIGS. The table body 11 itself rotates around the second rotation shaft 12B toward the inside of the seat with respect to the support arm 12, and the support arm 12 is supported around the first rotation shaft 12A by this movement. 4 to the inside of the seat. As a result, the support arm 12 rotates 90 degrees from the support base 4 around the first rotating shaft 12A so as to extend obliquely upward toward the inside of the seat, and the table body 11 is inclined obliquely upward above the seat. The support arm 12 is turned 180 degrees inward of the seat around the second rotation shaft 12B so as to extend further in the extending direction (upward inside the seat) from the tip of the support arm 12 that is directed. As a result, the table body 11 is unfolded from the support base 4 via the support arm 12 so as to protrude greatly into the seat.

  Then, the table main body 11 is expanded together with the support arm 12 to the position of obliquely projecting from the support base 4 to the upper side of the seat as described above, whereby the third support arm 12 is bent as described above. As the rotary shaft 12 </ b> C is pulled up to a position higher than the armrest 5, the rotary shaft 12 </ b> C is lifted to a position higher than the armrest 5. Then, the table main body 11 is unfolded to a horizontal angle around the third rotating shaft 12C of the support arm 12 by its own weight by being unfolded at a unfolding position that projects obliquely upward from the support base 4 to the inside of the seat. It is rarely locked (see FIGS. 1 to 3).

  In summary, the table 10 of this embodiment has the following configuration. That is, the table 10 according to the present embodiment includes a table main body 11 serving as an object table, and a table moving device 10M that connects the table main body 11 to the base (support base 4) via the support arm 12 in a movable state. Have. The support arm 12 is rotatably connected to the base (support base 4) by the first rotary shaft 12A and is rotatably connected to the table body 11 by the second rotary shaft 12B. The table body 11 is moved between a predetermined storage position and a deployment position in accordance with the rotational movement. The unfolding movement and storage movement of the table main body 11 are performed by rotating the support arm 12 around the first rotation axis 12A relative to the base (support base 4) and rotating around the second rotation axis 12B relative to the support arm 12 of the table main body 11. Are performed in directions opposite to each other, and the support arm 12 and the table main body 11 are bent and extended around the second rotation shaft 12B, and the table main body 11 and the base (support table 4 are supported) in the storage position. ) Are closed and closed in a storage state where the shapes are overlapped, and the table body 11 and the support arm 12 are in a deployed state in which the angle between the table body 11 and the support arm 12 is opened at the deployed position.

  With this configuration, when the table main body 11 is stored, the table main body 11 and the support arm 12 overlap each other, so that the storage space can be prevented from becoming bulky. In addition, in the unfolded state of the table main body 11, the support arm 12 and the table main body 11 open an angle between them, so that the table main body 11 can be unfolded and moved to a position far from the base (support base 4).

  In the state where the table main body 11 is housed in the base (support base 4), the second rotary shaft 12B is arranged in the front-rear direction on the rear side of the first rotary shaft 12A in the base (support base 4). It is set as the structure arranged. With this configuration, the table main body 11 supports the support arm 12 while rotating the support arm 12 around the first rotary shaft 12A on the front side from the storage position in the base (support base 4). The arm 12 is deployed so as to rotate around the second rotation shaft 12B on the rear side of the arm 12 inward of the seat. Therefore, the table main body 11 can be rotated and moved so as to pass through a trajectory far from the seated person, but can be deployed at a more forward position.

  Further, the table body 11 is stored in the base (support 4) in a posture inclined downward toward the outside, and is unfolded while being raised obliquely by the inward deployment movement in the sheet width direction. With this configuration, even if the support arm 12 is lengthened so that the table body 11 can be expanded from the storage position in the base (support base 4), the table body 11 can be stored. Space can be prevented from becoming bulky.

  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 table main body may be configured to rotate and move between a predetermined storage position and a deployment position with respect to the base only by horizontal rotation. Further, in the above embodiment, the base is set at the side portion of the vehicle seat, the table main body is configured to be deployed inward in the seat width direction from the position stored in the base, and the table main body is in the base. In the housed state, the second rotation shaft is arranged in the front-rear direction on the rear side of the first rotation shaft in the base. However, the second rotation shaft is the first rotation shaft. It may be configured to be arranged side by side in the front-rear direction on the front side of the rotation axis. Alternatively, the table main body may be stored in a state of being inclined inward and downward in the base, and may be deployed while being tilted downward by the inward movement in the seat width direction. Further, the table moving device may be configured such that the table main body is unfolded and stored at a rotation angle other than a right angle or 180 degrees rotation of the support arm or the table main body.
