Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to an armrest for a vehicle seat.
More specifically, it consists of an armrest support member and an armrest main body supported by the armrest support member, the armrest support member is provided along the side of the seat cushion, and the armrest main body is provided along the side of the seat back. The present invention relates to a vehicle armrest that is designed to be stored.

[Conventional technology]

Vehicle seats are provided with various armrests to improve the seating comfort of the occupant. However, among vehicle seats, seats for industrial and construction vehicles, such as forklifts, are rarely provided with armrests, and have the disadvantage that they may fall off during work.

In addition, among vehicle seats, many rear seats of automobiles are equipped with armrests, for example,
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-87337 proposes an armrest in which a separate cushion 6 and a separate back 7 are rotatably connected, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. .

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when forming an armrest on the seat of a conventional forklift or the like, there is a condition that it does not impede workability, so it is difficult to obtain an optimal armrest, and it has rarely been used. Further, in the armrest shown in the conventional example, the front end of the notch 4 of the seat cushion 2, the front end of the separate cushion 6, the rear end of the separate cushion 6, the lower end of the separate back 7, and the upper end of the separate back 7. and the upper ends of the notches 5 of the seat back 3 are rotatably connected by connecting parts 8, 9, and 10, respectively, so that they can be used as armrests, or the notches 4,
Moreover, the separate cushion 6 and the separate bag 7 tend to be deformed, and the armrest cannot reliably support the seated person.

The purpose of the present invention is to be applicable to seats for industrial and construction vehicles, so that when the seat bag is in the normal sitting position, it can be easily and quickly changed from being used as an armrest to being stored along the seat, and from being stored to being used. To provide an armrest for a vehicle seat which has excellent safety and economical efficiency, and which does not rattle or deform due to vibration etc., securely supports a seated person, and prevents the seated person from falling. It is something.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is composed of an armrest support member and an armrest main body supported by the armrest support member, and the armrest support member is attached to the side of the seat cushion. In the vehicle armrest, one end of the armrest support member is rotatably supported on the side of the seat cushion, and the other end of the armrest support member is rotatably supported on the side of the seat cushion. The side and one end of the armrest main body are rotatably supported, and the other end of the armrest main body is pivotally supported on the side of the seat bag via a moving means movable along the vertical direction of the side of the seat bag. , the moving means comprises a support bracket having a long groove extending in the vertical direction, which is fixed to the side of the seat back frame, and a pivot pin which is fixed to the upper end of the armrest body and inserted into the long groove of the support bracket. , the pivot pin is normally biased toward the lower side of the long groove by a spring member.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, when changing the armrest main body and the support member from the stored state to the used state, or from the used state to the stored state, the other end of the armrest main body is moved upward relative to the side of the seat back. The armrest support member and the armrest body can be brought into a straight line state without any difficulty, and from this state, by pressing the pivot between the armrest support member and the armrest body in the desired direction, the desired use can be easily achieved. At this time, the pivot pin on the upper end of the armrest body moves up and down along the long groove extending in the vertical direction of the moving means, and the upper end of the armrest body protrudes to the back side of the seat bag. There is no danger,
It does not require space at the rear. Further, since the pivot pin is normally urged downward of the long groove by a spring member, there is no risk of it shaking when the vehicle or the like vibrates.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the armrest of a vehicle seat according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 schematically show an embodiment of the present invention, in which the seat 21 includes a seat cushion 22 and a seat back 23 disposed behind the seat cushion 22. In this embodiment, the seat cushion frame 24 and the seat back frame 25 are shown in a fixed state, but the seat back frame 25 can also be provided so as to be tiltable forward.

A support bracket 26 is fixed to the side of the seat cushion frame 24, and a support bracket 28 having a longitudinal groove 29 formed in the vertical direction is fixed to the side of the seat bag frame 25 as a moving means 27.

The front end side of the armrest support member 31 is pivotally supported by a pivot pin 32 to a support bracket 26 fixed to the side of the seat cushion frame 24, and the rear end side of the armrest support member 31 and the lower end side of the armrest main body 33 are connected to each other. Similarly, pivot pin 3
It is rotatably supported by 4.

The upper end side of the armrest body 33 is provided with a moving means 2.
7, a pivot pin 35 is inserted, and the pivot pin 3
5 is inserted into the long groove 29 of the support bracket 28 to form a moving means 27. An E-ring 36 is fixed to the tip of the pivot pin 35 from inside the support bracket 28. Furthermore, the pivot pin 35 may be fixed to the side of the armrest main body 33. Further, the pivot pin 35 is normally urged downwardly by the long groove 29 by a spring member 37.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in Fig. 2, the armrest body 3
3 and the armrest support member 31 are stored in the sides of the seat back 23 and the seat cushion 22, from the first position A, to the second position B, where the armrest is in use as shown in FIG. In this case, the armrest main body 33 and the armrest support member 31 are moved by the moving means 27 to a third position C where they are in an inclined straight line. That is, the moving means 2 on the upper end side of the armrest main body 33
7 is moved above the long groove 29 against the bias of the spring member 37. Next, when the armrest main body 33 and the armrest support member 31 are pressed so that the pivot pins 34 of the armrest support member 31 are moved upward from the third position C, the pivot pins 35 are moved above the long grooves 29 by the bias of the spring members 37. The armrest main body 33 is pulled further downward to move to the second position B where it is supported by the armrest support member 31, and the armrest is ready for use.

Next, change the armrest from the used state to the stored state, that is, move the armrest main body 33 from the second position B to the first position.
When moving to position A, similarly move the pivot pin 35 above the long groove 29 and move it to the third position C.
If the pivot pin 34 is then pressed so that it moves below the third position C, it will move to the first position A, which is the stored state.

[Effects of the invention] The above is the configuration of an embodiment of the vehicle seat according to the present invention. According to this configuration, the armrest body can be used as an armrest and in the seat when the seat bag is in the normal sitting position. It can be easily and quickly changed to the storage state along the side of the armrest, and the upper end of the armrest body can be changed without protruding to the back side of the seat back, eliminating the rear space and making it difficult to change the armrest body. Since no force is applied, there is no risk of deformation of the armrest main body or armrest support member, and when used as an armrest, the seated person can be reliably supported without the risk of rattling due to vibrations of the vehicle, etc. It is possible to obtain an armrest for a vehicle seat which is excellent in safety and economy, and there is no risk of a seated person falling off during work.
