Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an armrest with an inner lid for an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The box type of armrests for automobiles is a box-shaped armrest body with a lid attached by a hinge. However, with the sophistication of automobiles, there are two lids, an outer lid and an inner lid. It is known that the table has a function as a table. The hinge structure of such an armrest with an inner lid is as shown in FIG. 4, and three joints 2, 3 and 4 are attached to a common hinge pin 1, and the first joint 2 is an armrest. It is fixed to the main body, the second combined body 3 is fixed to the inner lid, and the third combined body 4 is fixed to the outer lid.

In order to conceal such a hinge structure, it is also known to extend the rear end portion of the outer lid 5 around the hinge pin 1 to form a concealing portion 5a as shown in FIG. However, in the armrest with the inner lid, it is necessary to rotate the third combined body 4 supporting the inner lid 6 around the hinge pin 1 as described above, and therefore, the concealing portion formed at the rear end portion of the outer lid 5 is required. Since it is necessary to cut out 5a and the metal hinge structure can be seen from this cutout, there is a problem that the texture and appearance are impaired.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides an armrest with an inner lid in which the metal hinge structure is not exposed from the cutout portion of the concealing portion of the outer lid and the texture and appearance are not impaired. It was completed in order to do.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, has a box-shaped armrest main body with an inner lid in which an inner lid and an outer lid are pivotally attached by two coupling bodies pivotally attached to a common hinge pin. In the armrest, the surface of the combined body supporting the inner lid is covered with a soft covering member.

[0006]

[Action]

 Also in the armrest with the inner lid of the present invention, it is necessary to form a cutout portion in the concealing portion of the outer lid, but in the present invention, the surface of the second combined body supporting the inner lid is covered with a soft covering member. The hinge structure made of metal is not exposed from this cutout portion as in the conventional case because it is covered by. This does not impair the texture or appearance. Further, the appearance can be further improved by matching the shape of the covering member with the curved shape of the rear end portion of the outer lid.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. As described above, 1 is a hinge pin, 2 is a first coupling body attached to the hinge pin 1, and 3 is a first coupling body attached to the hinge pin 1. 2 is a conjugate and 4 is a third conjugate. The first combined body 2 is fixed to the armrest body 7, the second combined body 3 is fixed to the inner lid 6, and the third combined body 4 is fixed to the outer lid 5. Reference numeral 5a denotes a concealing portion formed at the rear end portion of the outer lid 5 for concealing the hinge structure. The concealing portion 5a has a notch portion 5b for the second coupling body 3. There is.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, a covering member 8 made of a soft resin is attached to the surface of the second combined body 3. The entire covering member 8 has a bag shape conforming to the outer shape of the second combined body 3, and is covered with the second combined body 3 by utilizing elasticity. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the second combined body 3 has a step around the screw fixing portion with the inner lid 6, and the edge portion of the covering member 8 is fitted to this step portion. Therefore, it is securely attached to the second combined body 3. As for the leg portion 3a where the second combined body 3 is connected to the hinge pin 1, a slit 9 is formed on the covering member 8 as shown in FIG. 3b so that the leg portion 3a is not exposed. . In order to improve the appearance, the shape of the rear end of the covering member 8 is preferably matched with the curved shape of the rear end of the outer lid 5.

The armrest with an inner lid of the present invention having such a structure can freely open and close the outer lid 5 and the inner lid 6 about the common hinge pin 1, and the rear end portion of the outer lid 5 It is the same as in the prior art that the second combined body 3, which is a part of the hinge structure, can be seen from the cutout portion 5b for the second combined body 3 formed in the concealing portion 5a. However, in the present proposal, since the surface of the second combined body 3 is covered with the soft covering member 8, the metal hinge structure is not exposed, and the appearance and texture suitable for a luxury car are provided. Obtainable.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the armrest with the inner lid of the present invention, the outer lid can be opened and the inner lid can be used as a table, and by covering the surface of the combined body supporting the inner lid with the soft covering member. Since the metal hinge structure is prevented from being exposed and the texture and appearance are enhanced, the armrest with inner lid that solves the conventional problems has an extremely great practical value.
