Reference numeral 1 denotes an armrest storage section provided in a backrest 2, and an armrest main body 3 is provided at the lower end of the armrest storage section 1. The armrest is pivoted so that it can be raised freely with its lower end, and the armrest body 3 can be seen in two states: the original state in which it extends forward, and the state in which it is stored in the armrest storage section 1 and forms part of the backrest 2. It is something that can be harvested. The armrest main body 3 includes a main body 5 with cushioning properties having a recessed step 4 formed on the lower surface of the front end, a sub-body 6 with cushioning properties that is large enough to fit into the recessed step 4, and a skin material covering both. 7, the skin material 7 is folded back from the lower edge of the recessed step 4 so that the lower surface of the sub-body 6 contacts the lower surface of the main body 5 to form a support leg. Assuming that the main body covering part 7a and the sub body covering part 7b are connected at the connecting part 7c using the skin material of the object, the sewing line is the main body covering part 7.
It is assumed that it appears only at the front end of a. Further, a lateral slit 8 is provided in the main body 5 from the inner corner 4a of the recessed step 4 into the flesh of the main body 5, and this slit 8 has a hard chloride layer along the upper surface 4b of the recessed step 4. An insertion portion 10 following the tip of a shape-retaining plate material 9 such as a thin vinyl resin plate is inserted. Then, the upper end of the portion of the skin material 7 that covers the rising surface 4c of the recessed step portion 4 is fixed to the shape-retaining plate material 9 by sewing or welding in the vicinity of the position corresponding to the inner corner portion 4a, and the armrest main body 3 is It is constructed so that no sewing lines appear on the outer surface except for the sewing lines seen at the front end of the main body covering portion 7a described above. In addition, 11 in the figure is the front end of the main body 5 of the armrest main body 3, that is, the main body covering part 7a of the skin material 7.
A puller 12 is a fastener for fixing the secondary body 6 to the puller 11, which is provided by simultaneously sewing the proximal end to the only sewing line at the front end of the handle.

With this structure, the armrest main body 3, which normally extends forward, is supported by the seat cushion 13 by the sub-body 6 folded back from the connecting part 7c at the lower edge of the recessed step part 4. Therefore, it has sufficient pressure resistance to withstand the considerable load applied to the armrest body 3, and moreover, the skin material 7 covering the armrest body 3 is formed on the rising surface of the recessed step 4. The upper end of the part covering 4c is aligned with the upper surface 4b of the concave stepped portion 4 of the main body 5 at a position corresponding to the inner corner 4a, and the insertion portion 1 at the tip
0 is fixed to the shape-retaining plate material 9 inserted into the slit 8, so there is no wrinkling even though the recessed step 4 is formed on the main body 5, and the recessed step 4 that is easy to sag during use. The part corresponding to the inner corner 4a is also maintained in a tensioned state at all times, allowing sewing without the sewing line appearing on the outside, resulting in an extremely good appearance. When not used as an armrest, the fastener 1 is fitted by fitting the secondary body 6 folded back from the connecting part 7c into the recessed step part 4.
2 to the pull handle 11, and in this state, the armrest main body 3 is pivoted upright and stored in the armrest storage part 1 of the backrest 2, so that the armrest main body 3 constitutes a part of the backrest 2. Just do it.
Therefore, in order to manufacture such an armrest for a car seat, a shape-retaining plate material 9 is attached to the upper surface 4b of the recessed step part 4, and the insertion part 10 at the tip thereof is inserted into the slit 8 of the main body 5. A skin material 7 made of a single piece of skin material is coated on the secondary body 6 so that the main body covering part 7a and the secondary body covering part 7b are continuous at the connecting part 7c. Since the upper end of the part covering the rising surface 4c of 4 can be fixedly connected to the shape-retaining plate material 9 by sewing or welding through the part of the skin material 7 that covers the upper surface 4b, the manufacturing work is also extremely simple. becomes.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention allows the main body with the recessed step constituting the armrest and the sub-body that can fit into the recessed step to be properly formed by the skin material without wrinkling or sagging. Since it will be covered, an extremely good-looking finish can be obtained, and to prevent wrinkles and sagging, the insertion part at the tip of the shape-retaining plate material is mainly provided on the top surface of the recessed step. This is done by inserting it into a slit and fixing the upper end of the part of the skin material that covers the rising surface of the concave step to this shape-retaining plate material, which has the advantage of being simple in structure and easy to manufacture. , it has great practical value as it solves the problems of conventional armrests for automobile seats.
