Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the support arm 12 is retracted with respect to the slider 13 described above in a direction extending forward in the support base 4 around the rotation shaft 12 </ b> A. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the rotation is between the position and the unfolded position that is directed to the inside of the sheet from the opening 4 </ b> B formed on the side surface inside the sheet of the support 4. It can be configured.

  Specifically, the support arm 12 described above is unfolded from its retracted position (see FIGS. 4 to 7) by being connected to the upper portion of the slider 13 attached to the above-described guide rail 4 </ b> A at an oblique angle. Along with the rotational movement to the position (see FIGS. 8 to 9), the sheet is unfolded so as to project at an oblique angle posture above the inside of the seat. More specifically, the support arm 12 has a plate shape with a bent middle portion, and a bent shaft 12A is vertically bent in the out-of-plane direction on the same piece 12D. It is the structure connected with the upper part so that rotation was possible (refer FIG.2, FIG6 and FIG.8).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the rotary shaft 12A has an inclination angle inclined further outward than the inclination angle In from the vertical direction Ve in which the slider 13 described above is mounted on the guide rail 4A at an oblique angle. It is in a state of being attached to the slider 13 at A1. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotary shaft 12A is attached to the slider 13 at an inclination angle A2 that is also inclined forward from the vertical direction Ve.

  With such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, the support arm 12 has the following posture in the retracted position in a direction extending forward in the support base 4. Thus, the slider 13 is supported on the slider 13. That is, the support arm 12 has a posture in which the whole is inclined to the outside of the seat, the root-side piece 12D is inclined rearward from the bent middle portion, and the piece 12C ahead of the bent middle portion is The posture is such that the surface extends straight in the front-rear direction, which is the sliding direction of the slider 13, and is supported on the slider 13.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the support arm 12 is rotated from the internal position (retracted position) of the support base 4 to the unfolded position where the support arm 12 protrudes to the inside of the seat of the support base 4 around the rotating shaft 12A. In addition, the piece 12C ahead of the bent middle portion is bent up above the root-side piece 12D and lifted up to a position higher than the armrest 5. As described above, the support arm 12 is connected to the slider 13 by the rotary shaft 12A provided to be inclined at the above-described oblique angle, and as described above with reference to FIG. Even if 12C is housed in a state where the surface extends straight in the sliding direction inside the support base 4, as described above with reference to FIG. It can be moved to lift.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the table main body 11 is constituted by a flat plate member, and the upper end portion of the tip piece 12 </ b> C of the support arm 12 described above is a rotation shaft at the middle portion on the back surface side. 12B is connected in a rotatable manner. Thereby, the table main body 11 is in a state in which the table main body 11 can swing with respect to the distal end portion of the support arm 12 around the rotation shaft 12B. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the table main body 11 described above has the support arm 12 in the unfolded state in which the support arm 12 described above is pulled out obliquely from the inside of the support base 4 to the inside of the seat. 1 to 3 and the use position dropped from the tilt position to the horizontal angle as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the height with respect to the support arm 12. The head can be swung in the direction (up and down rotation).

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the table main body 11 described above has the shape superimposed on the support arm 12, and the slider 13 is moved backward together with the support arm 12 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the slider 13 is moved forward together with the support arm 12 while moving the slider 13 forward and obliquely upward on the inner side of the seat of the support table 4 while being moved. It is designed to be pulled out. The table main body 11 is integrated with the support arm 12 with respect to the above-described support arm 12 with respect to the rotation in the turning direction about the rotation shaft 12A connecting the support arm 12 and the slider 13. It is designed to rotate. Therefore, the table main body 11 is stored in a state in which the front-side piece 12C of the support arm 12 extends straight in the front-rear direction as described above in a state where the support arm 12 is stored in the support base 4. According to the shape, the surface extends straight in the front-rear direction and is stored.

  Specifically, the table main body 11 is stored in a posture inclined to the outside of the seat in accordance with the shape in which the tip piece 12C of the support arm 12 described above is stored in a posture inclined to the outside of the seat inside the support base 4. It has come to be. As a result, the table body 11 is housed in a state where the table body 11 is tilted so as not to be bulky in the sheet width direction inside the support base 4. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the table main body 11 is unfolded from the support base 4 together with the above-described support arm 12 to a position protruding obliquely upward from the inside of the seat. The 12 pieces 12C on the front side are lifted to a higher position by rotation around the oblique rotation shaft 12B, and are raised to a position higher than the armrest 5.

  At this time, the table main body 11 has a configuration in which the above-described oblique rotation shaft 12A is provided at an angle inclined to the front side (inclination angle A2), so that the rotation shaft 12A is in the stored state. Even if it is set to an angle inclined outward from an angle perpendicular to the top plate surface, the top surface of the table main body 11 changes to a front-up shape as the table main body 11 is pulled out to the unfolded position. It is designed to be deployed so that it does not move, and it is deployed in an angular posture with the surface extending straight in the front-rear direction. And the said table main body 11 is dropped to the horizontal angle centering | focusing on the rotating shaft 12B with the support arm 12 by self-weight by expand | deploying to the expansion | deployment position which protrudes diagonally from the said support stand 4 inside a sheet | seat. It will be in the locked state (refer FIGS. 1-3).

  Here, the rotary shaft 12B that connects the table main body 11 and the support arm 12 is set at a position closer to the seat outer side than the central portion of the table main body 11 in the lateral width direction (rotational radius direction). By setting in this way, the table main body 11 is dropped to the use position of the horizontal posture by its own weight by being developed to the oblique angle posture shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 together with the support arm 12. It is supposed to be. 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 is dropped to the use position in the horizontal posture, the locking portion 12E formed at the tip of the support arm 12 hits the bottom of the table main body 11, and the rotation in the dropping direction is performed. It is designed to be locked.

  In summary, the table 10 of this embodiment has the following configuration. That is, the table 10 of the present embodiment includes a table main body 11 on which the object is placed, 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 base (support base 4). The table moving device 10M connects the table main body 11 to the base (support base 4) so as to be rotatable by a rotation shaft 12A, and rotates the table main body 11 between a predetermined storage position and a deployment position. ing. The rotary shaft 12A is in a state in which the axial direction thereof is directed to an oblique angle that is inclined less than a right angle in any direction (outside of the seat) from the out-of-plane direction of the top surface of the table body 11 at the storage position. The main body 11 is rotated and moved in such a manner that the inclination of the top plate surface is changed between the storage position and the deployed position.

  With such a configuration, even when the table body 11 is moved by rotation around one rotation shaft 12A, the table body 11 is changed in the standing angle of the top surface in a small movement space. It can be developed and stored in a manner.

  Further, the table main body 11 is stored in the base (support 4) in a posture inclined downward toward the outside, and is unfolded obliquely upward from the storage position to the inside in the seat width direction. The rotating shaft 12A is set in a direction inclined outward from the out-of-plane direction of the top surface of the table body 11 at the storage position. With such a configuration, the table main body 11 can be developed to a higher position toward the deployed position while being housed in a compact state in the seat width direction inclined outward at the housed position.

  Further, the table moving device 10M connects the table main body 11 to the base (support base 4) via a support arm 12 connected to the base (support base 4). The support arm 12 is located on the rear side of the table main body 11 in a state where the table main body 11 is housed in the base (support base 4), and is connected to the base (support base 4 (slider 13)) by the rotating shaft 12A. It is supposed to be in a state. The rotating shaft 12A is set in a direction of front side inclination. With such a configuration, the table body 11 can be lifted forward even if the rotary shaft 12A is set to an angle inclined outward with respect to an angle perpendicular to the top plate surface of the table body 11 in the stored state. It is possible to prevent the table body 11 from being unfolded in the inclined posture, and the table body 11 can be unfolded in such a manner that the surface is extended straight in the front-rear direction appropriately toward the unfolded position.

  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 is developed from a storage position to a use position (deployment position) in a horizontal posture that can be used as an object by only rotating a rotation shaft set obliquely with respect to the base. It may be. Specifically, for example, from the state in which the table body is stored in a posture inclined in either the inner or outer direction in the seat width direction with respect to the base, from the out-of-plane direction of the top surface of the table body in the stored state There is a configuration in which a rotation position around a rotation axis provided in a gentle inclination direction is deployed in a horizontal posture angle state at a deployment position. With such a configuration, the table main body can be stored in a compact posture inclined at an angle with respect to the base, and the table main body can be deployed in a horizontal posture by rotating around the rotation axis. . In that case, in order to prevent the table body from being unfolded in a forward or rearward tilted posture due to rotation to the unfolded position, the rotation axis may be set to be tilted forward or backward.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the axis | shaft in which the rotating shaft was set to the area | region of the table main body was illustrated, the rotating shaft may be set to the area | region of the front side of a table main body. Further, the table moving device only needs to be configured so that the table main body can be moved between predetermined positions including the oblique rotation shaft, and the moving mode is not limited to the mode shown in the above embodiment. Various implementations are possible. For example, the table moving device may be a device in which the table main body is flipped sideways with respect to the base and is dropped and stored, or a table main body is swiveled forward and outward with respect to the base to be dropped and stored. .
