Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a vehicle armrest, and particularly to a vehicle armrest having a rotatable lid on the upper side and a memo holder provided on the back side of the lid.

In conventional vehicle seats, there is no special memo holder or the like when taking notes inside the vehicle, but ordinary memo paper can be placed in an accessory case on the back of the front seat or on the side of the vehicle door, or on a dash board. I kept it in storage and would take out this memo paper and use it as needed. Also,
When a console box or the like is installed between the front driver's seat and the passenger's seat, memo pads, writing instruments, etc. are stored in the console box and can be taken out as needed. Furthermore, in vehicle seats with armrests, the armrests are used as arm supports for comfort.

However, if you store memo paper in the existing storage compartment as in the past, the memo paper and other small items will be scattered inside the storage compartment, causing important memos to be lost, and where to store the necessary memos. This has the disadvantage that users often forget what they have done. Another disadvantage is that when storing memo paper in a dart board or console box, the paper tends to fold, making it difficult to use. In addition, in the limited space of a vehicle interior, it is desirable to eliminate wasted space and increase the number of functional storage areas for small items, and for this purpose, it is a good idea to use the armrest only as an armrest. It had the disadvantage that it was not carried out effectively.

The purpose of this invention is to close the recess provided on the upper side of the armrest, and to provide a plate-shaped binder on the back side of the lid which can be freely rotated using one end as a fulcrum. The above-mentioned drawbacks are eliminated by making the binder slidable along the belt, and will be explained in detail below using examples.

1 to 4 are simplified configuration diagrams showing one embodiment of a vehicle armrest according to the present invention, and in the figures, a vehicle seat 1 is a bench-type seat used as a rear seat of a passenger car, etc. Yes, this vehicle seat 1 has a seat cushion part 2.
and a seat back portion 3. A vertically elongated recess 4 is formed approximately in the center of the seat back portion 3, and an armrest 6 whose lower end side is rotatably supported by a pivot shaft 5 is provided in the recess 4.
is stored. As shown in FIG. 2, the armrest 6 has a main body 8 having a recess 7 opening on the upper side, and one end 9a of the main body 8 near the front end or center of the upper side is rotatable by a hinge 10. The lid body 9 is made up of a lid body 9. The back side of the lid 9 has a shallow recess 11, and a long protrusion 13 is formed on the longitudinal wall 12 of the recess 11, as shown in FIG. The convex portion 1 is located inside the concave portion 11.
A plate-shaped binder 14 is provided in a direction perpendicular to 3, and this binder 14 has an engaging piece formed in a concave shape so as to come into contact with the wall portion 12 and fit into the convex portion 13, as shown in FIG. 16 at both ends, the central part of the elongated paper restraining part 15 is bulged out in a curved manner toward the lower side, forming a spring part 17 having inherent elasticity.
The binder 14 can be easily attached to the recess 11 by bending the engagement piece 16 in the directions of arrows X and Y shown in FIG. 4 and engaging the protrusion 13 and the engagement piece 16. Like the armrest main body 8, the lid body 9 has a cushioning material 20 placed on the outer periphery of the recess 11, and the outer periphery thereof is covered with a skin 21.

In the above structure, when the binder 14 is attached to the recess 11 of the lid 9 by bending the engagement piece 16 in the directions of arrows X and Y in FIG. 4, the groove of the engagement piece 16 and the protrusion 13 are engaged. In addition, since this portion can slide on the convex portion 13 as a rail, the binder 14 can be used at a desired position. The memo paper M can be fixed in the recess 11 on the back side of the lid body 9 by such a binder 14. Furthermore, this binder 14 itself is
Since it is attached in a tensioned state due to the elastic force of 7, it will not move unnecessarily due to vibrations of the vehicle, etc., so it is highly reliable as a fixing device. By applying force, it slides in the direction of arrow A or B in FIGS. 2 and 3, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the binder 14, so that the memo paper M can be firmly held down at a desired location as necessary. You can keep it. Moreover, since the paper holding part 15 of the binder 14 has a spring part 17 that curves toward the center, even if the memo paper M is consumed due to use and the thickness of the memo paper M as a whole becomes thin, the elastic force of the spring part 17 keeps the paper It is possible to suppress the

In addition, in this embodiment, the binder 14 is 1
Although the present invention has been described as being used as a book, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. The memo paper M may be held down by a binder. By doing so, even when the lid body 9 is rotated toward the recess 7 of the armrest main body 8 to close the recess 7, one side of the memo paper M can be prevented from hanging down and getting in the way.

As explained above, according to the armrest for a vehicle according to the present invention, a spring curved at the center is attached to the back side of the lid body, which closes the recess provided on the upper side of the armrest and is rotatable about one end as a fulcrum. Since a plate-shaped binder having a section is provided and the binder is slidable along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the binder, the space inside the armrest can be used effectively. Memo papers that are easily scattered can be stored in an effective space using a binder that has inherent elasticity and is highly reliable as a fixing device, and can be firmly fixed to prevent it from scattering, so it can be stored in the car interior. You can get armrests that are useful for organizing things.
