A notch member 18 is fixed on the shaft member 9 which is the rotation center of the armrest 5A. In FIG. 3, a pressed protrusion 19 is formed on the movable member 17 on the cup holder 10 side. A hook portion (that is, a hook portion) 23 is formed on the opposite side of the movable member 17 from the cup holder 10. The pressed protrusion 19 is a protrusion protruding toward the cup holder 10. The hook portion 23 has a shape that can suspend a handle of an object (for example, a bag with a handle).

  A lock member 24 is provided to face the notch member 18 fixed on the shaft member 9 that is the rotation center of the armrest 5A. The lock member 24 is rotatably attached to a shaft member 25 that spans the side frames 15a and 15b. The connecting terminal of the movable member 17 and the connecting terminal of the lock member 24 are connected by a connecting rod 26 as a connecting member. The connecting rod 26 is a wire formed of a steel material, a hard resin, or an equivalent material thereof, and is a member that does not expand or contract.

  The armrest 5A is formed by providing a pad 30 around the side frames 15a and 15b, which are skeleton structures, and further covering the pad 30 with a skin 31. The pad 30 also enters between the side frames 15 a and 15 b, and is also present around the movable member 17, the connecting rod 26, the lock member 24, and the notch member 18. The pad 30 is formed of an elastic member (for example, urethane foam). The skin 31 is made of a material having air permeability, for example, fabric, leather, synthetic leather or the like.

  The cup holder 10 is formed of a soft member. The soft member is, for example, an elastomer, a soft resin, a molded nonwoven fabric, or an equivalent thereof, and is a soft material having a shape maintaining property that is a property of maintaining a specific shape in a natural state. The shape maintenance characteristic mentioned here is not a characteristic that is hard and does not deform at all, but it is a characteristic that maintains a specific shape but has a soft property that exhibits some deformation due to its own weight when placed on a desk. That is.

  In this embodiment, since the cup holder 10 is formed of a soft member, the cup holder 10 is raised at a portion where the pressed protrusion 19 of the movable member 17 protrudes into the cup holder 10. The cup holder 10 can be formed of a synthetic resin that is hard and does not deform. In this case, the protrusion 19 for pressing of the movable member 17 is formed with a hole in the portion of the cup holder 10 that protrudes into the cup holder 10, and the protrusion 19 for pressing passes through this hole. It is desirable.

The movable member 17 of the present embodiment is linearly movable in a direction H-H ′ perpendicular to the linear movement direction G-G ′ of the linear movement member 38. That is, the movable member 17 is linearly movable between the surface of the skin 31 on the side where the cup holder 10 opens and the surface on the opposite side. The movable member 17 has a pressing portion 40 on the surface facing the linearly moving member 38. The pressing portion 40 has an inclined surface facing the linear moving member 38.

  The linear movement member 38 is elastically urged in a direction away from the shaft member 9 (G ′ direction) by a spring 32 as an elastic urging member. At this time, the movable member 17 is pushed by the linear moving member 38 and disposed at the first position indicated by the solid line. The first position of the movable member 17 is a position where the pressed protrusion 19 protrudes into the cup holder 10, and the hook portion 23 is located near the skin 31.

  When the container 11 is inserted into the cup holder 10 and the pressed projection 19 is pushed down, or when the seated person picks the hook portion 23 and pulls it out of the outer skin 31, the movable member 17 is shown by a second broken line. Move to the position. The second position of the movable member 17 is a position where the pressed protrusion 19 is located outside the cup holder 10 and the hook 23 is located outside the skin 31. When the movable member 17 moves to the second position indicated by the broken line, the linearly moving member 38 is pushed by the pressing portion 40 of the movable member 17 and moves to the right (G direction) against the spring force of the spring 32. . When the linear moving member 38 moves in the G direction, the locking member 24 at the tip thereof engages with the notch member 18 on the shaft member 9. When the lock member 24 is engaged with the notch member 18, the side frames 15a and 15b are fixed to the shaft member 9 and cannot move, so that the armrest 5C is locked.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the armrest 5C including the cup holder 10, the surface of the skin 31 opposite to the surface on which the cup holder 10 opens (that is, the armrest standing in a non-use position). As shown in FIG. 7, the object 43 can be hung by the hook portion 23 on the front surface instead of the back surface of FIG.

  In addition, even when the object is suspended, the movement of the armrest 5C can be locked by the engagement of the lock member 24 and the notch member 18, so that the safety of the suspended object can be ensured.

  Furthermore, the armrest 5C is locked when the container 11 is housed in the cup holder 10 at the armrest use position (the horizontal position shown in FIG. 1), and when the armrest is not used (position extending in the vertical direction shown in FIG. 3). It is possible to realize the locking of the armrest 5C at the time of suspending an object on the hook portion 23 with a single movable member 17. For this reason, the armrest 5C of this embodiment has a simple structure and is very cheap.
