Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a folding table for a vehicle.

[Prior Art] As a folding table of this type, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 145950/1983 discloses a table that is provided with foldable legs and is stored as a tonneau board by folding the legs.

On the other hand, with the increasing preference for outdoor living, there is a growing demand for tables that can be easily used inside the car as part of improving the comfort of one-box cars.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Here, when a conventional folding table is used in a one-box car that does not require a tonneau board, it is necessary to provide a storage section to store the folded table. However, since it requires a lot of effort to assemble during use, it has been difficult to use it flexibly in the vehicle interior.

In view of these problems, the object of this invention is to provide a folding table for a vehicle that can be easily used, especially in a one-box car, and does not require special storage space.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The configuration of this invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 1. Parallel guide rails 1A and 1B are arranged below the seat cushion S1 of the vehicle seat S in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and Base members 2A and 2B are provided so as to be guided by rails 1A and 1B and can be freely pulled out to the front of the seat, and two leg members 31 and 32 are provided at left and right positions on base members 2A and 2B, respectively, and rotated relative to each other at intermediate positions. An X-link 3 that is freely connected and expandable in the vertical direction is provided, a table board 4 is supported on the X-link 3, and the lower end of one leg member 31 of the X-link 3 is connected to the base member 2A, 2B. A guide groove 2 connected to the fixed shaft and extending rearward on the base members 2A and 2B at the lower end of the other leg member 32.
A spring member 33 is provided, which is connected to a moving shaft movable along 1 and connects the front and rear lower ends of the leg members 31 and 32 to urge them toward each other.

[Function] When using a folding table, when the base members 2A, 2B are pulled out from below the seat cushion S1 along the guide rails 1A, 1B, the Spring member 3
3 in the approach direction, the table plate 4 automatically extends and is raised to the use position (FIGS. 1 and 2). When storing the table, press the table plate 4 and the spring member 3
The lower end of the leg member 32 moves backward on the base members 2A, 2B against the urging force of the X-link 3, and the table board 4 descends to the storage position. In this state, attach the base members 2A and 2B to the guide rail 1.
A, 1B to the rear, and store the table board 4 below the seat cushion S1 (fifth
figure).

[Effects] The folding table of this invention can be quickly used by pulling out the table from below the seat cushion as needed without requiring any assembly effort. Furthermore, since it is stored below the seat cushion, no special space is required for storage.

1, a vehicle seat S is provided on a vehicle floor F with the four corners of the underside of a seat cushion S1 supported by support legs 51. Guide rails 1A, 1B are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction on the floor F between the support legs 51 at the left and right positions of the seat. The guide rails 1A, 1B have a U-shaped cross section, and are connected to each other and fixed to the floor F by front and rear cross members 52.

Base rails 2A and 2B having a U-shaped cross section are slidably fitted into each of the guide rails 1A and 1B, and these are guided by the guide rails 1A and 1B and pulled out toward the front of the seat S as shown in the figure. be done. Each base rail 2A, 2B is supported by an X-shaped link 3, and each X-link 3 has a pair of legs 31, 32 connected to a common bar 34 at the center with a pin. The lower end of 31 is pin-fixed to the front end of base rails 1A and 1B. The lower ends of the other leg members 32 are connected by pins to guide grooves 21 formed on the rear side surfaces of the base rails 2A, 2B, and are movable along the guide grooves 21. Note that the front end of the guide groove 21 is bent downward.

A spring member 33 is stretched between the leg members 31 and 32, and the X-link 3 is urged to extend upward. When the leg link 3 is fully extended, the lower end of the leg member 32 is connected to the guide groove 21.
Its movement is locked by being located at the bend of the

1 (only one is shown) is connected to and supported by the upper end of each of the leg members 31 and 32.

When the X-link 3 is fully extended, the stopper surface 411 is bent at the lower end of each connecting piece 41.
is in contact with the front or rear surface of the upper end of each of the leg members 31 and 32 to prevent the table board 4 from moving back and forth.

The table board 4 has a recess in the center to serve as an accessory case 42, and this accessory case 42 is covered with a lid plate 43 that is flush with the table surface. The left and right ends 4a, 4b of the table board 4 can be folded back by hinges, and each end 4a, 4b is provided with a hole 44 for holding a tip. In the figure, 45 is an embedded ashtray, which is held in a hole 46 in the table board.

When storing the table, the ends 4a and 4b of the table board 4 are folded back, the lower ends of the leg members 32 are released from the bent portions of the guide grooves 21, and the table board 4 is pressed downward. Accordingly, the lower end of the leg member 32 moves rearward within the guide groove 21 against the spring force of the spring member 33 (FIGS. 2 to 4),
The leg links 3 contract downward, and the table plate 4 becomes lower than the lower surface of the seat cushion S1. In this state, if you push the whole thing backwards, the base rail 2A,
2B is guided by the guide rails 1A and 1B and is stored on the floor below the seat cushion S1 (FIG. 5).

When using a table, if you follow the above process in reverse, the spring force of the spring member 33 will cause the X link to
