In this embodiment, a guide portion 14 for the tip portion 3b of the rod 3' is provided on the rear surface 2d of the table body 2 between the recess 8 and the circular hole portion 11. is formed.

In the illustrated example, the rod 3' includes a left rod portion 3d and a right rod portion 3e along the front-rear direction y (see FIGS. 1 and 5), and one end of the left rod portion 3d and one end of the right rod portion 3e. A connecting rod portion 3f extending along the horizontal direction x, a left shaft portion 3g projecting leftward from the other end of the left rod portion 3d, and a right shaft portion 3h projecting rightward from the other end of the right rod portion 3e. Equipped with The left rod portion 3d and the right rod portion 3e constitute the side portion 3c of the rod 3', the connecting rod portion 3f constitutes the tip portion 3b of the rod 3', and the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h constitute the rod 3'. constitutes the base 3a.

The rod support bracket 13 has a mounting surface 13a for the seatback S and a front surface 13b opposite to the mounting surface 13a, and is attached to the seatback S through through holes 13d formed in the left and right ears 13c. It is fixed to the seat back S by screws or the like.

Bearing portions 13e for the rods 3' are formed on the left and right sides of the rod support bracket 13 on the front surface 13b side. The bearing portion 13e has a wall-like shape protruding forward, and the left bearing portion 13e is formed with a shaft hole 13f for the left shaft portion 3g of the rod 3', and the right bearing portion 13e is formed with a shaft hole for the right shaft portion 3h of the rod 3'. 13f is formed (see FIG. 4).

The left bearing portion 13e has an eaves portion 13g projecting rightward from its projecting end, and the right bearing portion 13e has an eaves portion 13g projecting leftwardly from its projecting end. Then, the rod 3' moves along with the left rod portion 3d and the left rod portion 3d during the rotation process following the rotation of the table main body 2 in a state where the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h are accommodated in the corresponding shaft holes 13f. The left and right rod portions 3d and 3e are brought into sliding contact with the eaves portion 13g while elastically deforming in a direction f (see FIG. 9) that narrows the distance from the right rod portion 3e.

The guide portion 14 of the tip portion 3b of the rod 3' is provided with a guide gap 14a having an interval substantially equal to the thickness of the tip portion 3b, and is formed on the back surface 2d of the table body 2 by a member indicated by reference numeral 14b in FIG. It is formed along y.

Specifically, when the table body 2 is in the non-deployed position, the tip portion 3b of the rod 3' is positioned at a portion 14c of the guide portion 14 located on the free end 2b side of the table body 2 (FIG. 7). , The left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h of the rod 3' are located above the tip portion 3b, and the left rod portion 3d and the right rod portion 3e of the rod 3' enter below the eaves portion 13g between them. (In FIGS. 7 and 9, the rod 3' at this time is indicated by a chain double-dashed line). Thereby, the state where the table body 2 is in the non-deployed position is maintained.

When the table body 2 in the non-deployed position is rotated toward the deployed position, the tip portion 3b of the rod 3' moves toward the portion 14d of the guide portion 14 located on the table base portion 2a side of the table body 2, The right shaft portion 3h of the rod 3' is elastically deformed in the direction indicated by symbol f in FIG. 3g is elastically deformed in the opposite direction to the right shaft portion 3h and slidably contacts the protruding end of the eaves portion 13g).

In the illustrated example, the eaves portion 13g is formed with two recesses 13i and 13j that are recessed toward the root 13h of the eaves portion 13g with a vertical interval therebetween.

When the rod 3' is rotated to a position where the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h of the rod 3' enter the lower recess portion 13i, the elastic return of the rod 3' causes the rod 3' to move into the lower recess portion 13i. A portion of the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h on the sliding contact side with respect to the eaves portion 13g enters, thereby maintaining the state where the table body 2 is in the intermediate position (FIGS. 8 and 9).

When the table body 2 is rotated from the intermediate position to the extended position, the rod 3' is elastically deformed again, and the left shaft portion 3g of the rod 3' moves out of the recess 13i on the lower side. and part of the right shaft portion 3h. Thereafter, when the rod 3' is rotated to a position where the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h of the rod 3' enter the upper concave portion 13j, the rod 3' is moved back into the upper concave portion 13j by the elastic return of the rod 3'. A portion of the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h of the left shaft portion 3g and the right shaft portion 3h on the sliding contact side with respect to the eaves portion 13g enters, thereby maintaining the state in which the table body 2 is in the unfolded position (in FIGS. 5 and 9, at this time of rod 3' is indicated by a dashed line).

That is, in this embodiment, the eaves portion 13g and the two concave portions 13i and 13j provided in the eaves portion 13g provide a plurality of portions that engage with the rod 3' due to the elastic restoring force of the rod 3'. An engaging portion 12a is formed.

When the table body 2 is not used, the support 3 positions the table body 2 at a non-developed position that does not interfere with the table body 2. When the table body 2's mounting surface portion 2c is used, the table body 2 is supported by the support 3. It is positioned at the unfolded position in which the mounting surface portion 2c is positioned substantially horizontally. The support 3 allows the table body 2 to be positioned at an intermediate position with the table base 2a facing up and the free end 2b facing the table base 2a facing down, with the mounting surface 2c being slanted. As a result, various articles can be placed on the placement surface portion 2c in an oblique state at this intermediate position. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, a plate-shaped portable terminal T, such as a smartphone or a tablet, having one side as a display surface and an operation surface Ta can be easily viewed and operated. It can be placed on the table body 2 in a possible state. Since the article supporting portion 7 is attached to the placing surface portion 2c so as to be able to move up and down, by raising the article supporting portion 7 with the table main body 2 positioned at the intermediate position, oblique placement can be performed. An article such as a portable terminal T placed on the surface part 2c is prevented from slipping down by the article supporting part 7, and an article such as a plate-like portable terminal is stably placed on the table body 2 in an oblique state. can be done. Typically, when the table apparatus 1 described above is provided on the back surface Sa of the seat back S, the portable terminal T as described above is mounted on the table body 2 in such a manner that it can be easily accessed from the back seat side of the automobile. can be stably placed on the
