Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention mainly relates to an armrest used in a front seat of an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional example 1 is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 and 2 are body consoles 3 with front seats of a car.
It is installed on both sides of the body console 3 so as to be slidable back and forth, and an armrest 4 is mounted on the upper surface of the body console 3.

Conventional example 2 is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1, 2
are installed so as to be able to slide back and forth on both sides of a body console 3 with a front seat of an automobile, and armrests 4A and 4B are provided on the inner surfaces of the front seats 1 and 2, respectively, and are rotatable from the dotted line position to the solid line position. installed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In Conventional Example 1, the position of the armrest 4 is fixed, and when the front seats 1 and 2 are slid back and forth, the relative positions of the armrest 4 and the front seats 1 and 2 may shift, making it difficult to use.

In Conventional Example 2, the armrests 4A, 4B integrally follow the front and back sliding movement of the front seats 1, 2, but since the armrests 4A, 4B protrude from the sides of the front seats 1, 2, when the backrests are reclined, It is difficult to make it fully flat because it easily interferes with indoor parts such as the body console, and the angle of the armrests 4A and 4B becomes upward following the reclining of the backrest, making it difficult to use.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention, as a means to solve the above conventional problems, is an armrest 4C mounted on the upper surface of a body console 3 on which reclining front seats 1 and 2 are installed so as to be able to slide back and forth laterally. The rotation shafts 34, 34 extended laterally from the root end of the armrest 4C are connected to the body console 3.
By being rotatably attached to the brackets 33, 33, the armrest 4C is rotatably attached to the upper surface of the body console 3 in the front-rear direction,
By rotating back and forth, the armrest 4C
are storage recesses 31 and 3 provided in the front and/or rear parts of the upper surface of the body console 3.
The present invention provides an armrest that functions as a lid for the seat belt 2 and adjusts the front and rear positions of the armrest 4C in accordance with the sliding positions of the front seats 1 and 2.

[Effect]

The function of the present invention is as follows.

When the sliding position of the front seat is toward the front, the armrest is placed in such a state that the root end of the armrest, which is rotatably attached to the upper surface of the body console in the longitudinal direction, becomes the rear end. When the sliding position of the front seat is from the rear, the armrest is rotated rearward and the armrest is placed in such a state that the base end becomes the front end.

[Effect of idea]

Therefore, with this invention, the armrest can be placed in an easy-to-use position regardless of the sliding position of the front seat due to its extremely simple structure and operation. also serves as a lid for the storage recess.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. Reference numerals 1 and 2 denote front seats, which are slidably installed on both sides of a body console 3. An armrest 4C is mounted on the upper surface of the body console 3. The armrest 4C
has cushion parts 41C and 12C on both sides and a storage part 43C in the center, and a plastic frame 46C having storage recesses 44C and 45C is fitted from the upper surface of the storage part 43C, and the base of the frame 47C of the storage part 43C. From the end, a pair of arms 48C, 4
8C is extended, and the arms 48C, 48C are connected to a pair of brackets 33, 33 erected from the upper surface of the body console 3 via rotating shafts 34, 34. Further, storage recesses 31 and 32 are formed in the body console 3.

In the above configuration, when the sliding positions of the front seats 1 and 2 shown in FIG. 1 are from the front, the armrest 4C is placed in such a state that the root end of the armrest 4C becomes the rear end. Armrest 4C in this state
serves as a lid for the storage recess 31 of the body console 3. When the sliding position of the front seats 1 and 2 is from the rear as shown in FIG. 2, the armrest 4C is moved from the state shown in FIG. Rotate it to the solid line position. In this state, the armrest 4C serves as a lid for the storage recess 32 of the body console 3.

As mentioned above, the armrest of the present invention also functions as a lid if the body console has a storage recess.

In addition to this embodiment, in the present invention, the front seat may be slidably attached to only one side of the body console.
