To function.

(Embodiment) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 11 is a rear seat of a vehicle, which is composed of a seat cushion 12 and a seat back 13, and the seat back 13 has a substantially central portion. A storage recess 14 is formed in the portion so that the armrest 17 can be stored therein, and armrest mounting brackets 15 are provided corresponding to predetermined positions on the left and right of the storage recess 14, and a shaft pin 16 is interposed between the brackets 15. An armrest 17 is attached so as to be rotatable.

This armrest 17 is a box type,
It is composed of a box body 18 and a lid body 19 that can store a telephone, a function switch, etc., and an electric wiring 20 of a storage device extends from the rear end of the box body 18 and is connected to the power supply side. . A laminate sheet member 21 capable of shielding the electric wiring 20 is attached between the rear end portion of the armrest 17 thus provided and the storage recess 14.

This laminated sheet member 21 has a urethane foam 23 having a predetermined plate thickness (about 3 to 5 mm) on the back surface of a skin material 22 made of, for example, a fabric or vinyl chloride leather of the same quality as the skin material of the rear seat 11 by an adhesive or the like. The laminated sheet is adhered and formed into an elastic laminated sheet, and the left and right sides of the sheet member 21 are provided with folding edges 25 in a folded shape with a predetermined width and are sewn 26 to form a sewing edge portion 24. The portion 24 is formed in a linear shape having a little rigidity as compared with the other seat portions, and even if elastically deformed by an external force, it can be restored to the original linear shape when the external force is released. An approximately V-shaped cut recess 27 is provided in the substantially central portion of 25.
Is formed to weaken the same portion, and is formed so that it can be folded in two around the line connecting the cut concave portions 27 as a center,
When the folding edge 25 is sewn on the back surface of the folded sheet 21a on the side of the half-folded armrest 17, a substantially rectangular thin-walled synthetic resin plate 28 is integrally sewn along the sheet 21a.
It has been 26. In addition, a strip-shaped member having a predetermined length is provided between the edges of the laminated sheet member 21 on the mounting side.
An elastic member 29, such as an elastic band, is sewn so that the 21 can be bent upward between the cut recesses 27. The edge of the folded sheet 21a of the laminated sheet member 21 formed in this manner is sewn to the rear end side of the armrest 17, and the edge of the other folded sheet 21b is a storage recess 14 by a surface fastener or the like. Is removably attached at a predetermined position of.

Now, in this embodiment, the seat back 13 of the vehicle rear seat 11 is used.
The armrest 17 is rotatably stored in a storage recess 14 formed in the armrest, and the electric wiring 20 and the like are connected to the rear end of the rotation center side.
And a width that can be inserted into and stored in the storage recess 14, and is sewn in a folded shape to the left and right of the same width, and has a sewing edge portion 24 that is elastically recoverable in a substantially linear shape The laminated sheet member 21 is interposed, and the folded-back edges 25 of the left and right sewn edges 24 are cut substantially in a V-shape at approximately the center.
27 is formed so as to be foldable, a synthetic resin plate 28 is attached to the back surface of one of the folded sheets 21a of the sheet member 21, and a predetermined length is provided between the mounting end portions of the laminated sheet member 21. The sheet member 21 having the left and right cut recesses 27
The elastic member 29 is arranged so that it can be folded up and down around the center of the elastic member 29 so as to be expandable and contractible. Therefore, when the armrest 17 is stored in the storage recess 14, the laminate sheet member 21 rises upward in two folds centering between the cut recesses 27 of the fragile portion and rises up in two arms.
Located between 14 bottoms. When the armrest 17 is rotated around the shaft pin 16 and pulled out from this state, the elastic member 29 is elastically extended substantially linearly, and the two-folded laminated sheet member 21 is unfolded, and the armrest 17 is expanded. The seat member 21 is spread on the seat cushion 12 in a substantially mountain-shaped cross section as shown in the drawing, and the upper portion of the electric wiring 20 is shielded. In this state, if the sheet member 21 expanded in a substantially mountain-shaped cross section is pressed by hand, it is deformed downward, but when the external force is released, the elastic force of the laminated sheet and the elastic restoring force of the left and right sewing edge portions 24 cause the original substantially mountain shape. It is restored to its shape. Further, since the resin plate 28 is attached to the bent sheet 21a of the armrest 17, wrinkles and the like are prevented from occurring and the appearance can be improved.
When the armrest 17 is retracted, the seat member 21
The elastic members 29 sewn at both ends of the elastic member 29 are elastically contracted, and the contracting force causes the sheet member 21 to bend upward from the cut concave portion 27 of the fragile portion, and the armrest 17 is stored in the storage concave portion 14. Then, the folding seats 21a, 21b maintain the seats in a substantially flat state by the left and right stitching edges 24, and in addition to the resin plate 28 being attached to the folding seat 21a on the armrest 17 side. Since it is not folded into a wrinkle, the generation of a recess on the surface side of the lid 19 of the armrest 17 is eliminated, and the appearance when pulled out can be improved. Further, by providing the elastic member 29, the operating force when the armrest 17 is stored can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the laminated sheet member 21
When it is deployed, it is illustrated as being deployed in a substantially mountain-shaped cross-section, but it is not limited to this, and for example, it may be configured to be deployed in a substantially horizontal shape. In this case, below the sheet member 21. The fall into the is regulated by the elastic member 29,
Further, when the armrest 17 is retracted, the sheet member 21 is bent upward by the elastic member 29 from the cut concave portion 27 and is stored in a folded shape as in the above embodiment. Further, although the resin plate 28 is attached to the side of the folding sheet 21a as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be omitted. In this case, the folding sheets 21a and 21b have left and right sewing edges 2
The flatness of 4 can be maintained and it is prevented from being folded into wrinkles. If necessary, the synthetic resin plate 28 may be attached to the side of the folded sheet 21b. Also, the cut recess 27 is formed in a substantially V shape in the example, but
However, the shape is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a rectangular cutout recess, and any shape may be used as long as it forms a fragile portion.

(Effect of the Invention) The present invention is an armrest that is rotatably stored in a storage recess formed in a seat back of a rear seat of a vehicle and has electrical wiring and the like connected to a rear end portion on a rotation center side. There is a sewn edge between the rear end of the armrest and the storage recess that has a width that allows it to be inserted into the storage recess and that is sewn in a folded shape on the left and right sides and elastically restored to a substantially linear shape. While interposing a laminated sheet member made of a synthetic resin material or the like having the above, a cut recess is formed substantially at the center of the folded edge of the left and right sewing edges, and between the mounting ends of the laminated sheet member. The laminated sheet member has a predetermined length and is foldable upward around the left and right cut recesses so as to be capable of expanding and contracting so that the laminated sheet member is cut from the cut recesses through the elastic member. The folding sheets on both sides are always folded in a fixed direction and are stored while maintaining a flat shape between the storage recess and the armrest without forming a wrinkle, thereby preventing the formation of a recess on the lid side of the armrest. As a result, the finishing quality of the seat can be maintained, and the elastic member can reduce the operating force when the armrest is stored.
