JPH1033306A - Chair with accommodation part - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely accommodate a manual and the like in a good appearance in a part of a chair by forming an opening in an outer shell formed on the rear surface of a cushion body, and attaching one side edge of a cover plate where a manual and the like is kept at its inner surface to one side edge of the opening by a hinge. SOLUTION: An opening 6 is formed at an outer shell 5 on the rear surface of a cushion body 4, and the upper surface is covered with an accommodation case 7. To a rear end of both walls 7a of the case 7 a rear end of a cover plate 8 closing the opening 6 is pivoted. The plate 8 has at both sides of its rear end lug pieces 8a, and a pin 8b fixed to each lug piece 8a is pivotally fitted in a bearing hole 7b in a rear end of the side wall 7a of the case 7. At a central part of a front end of the plate 8 an elastic locking piece 8c shaped in the form of inverted letter V viewed from the side is formed. The piece 8c serving as support means for the plate 8 preventing it from being opened is turned upward and locked to a front edge of the opening 6 from the below to thereby prevent the plate 8 from being opened unnecessarily when the opening 6 is closed being flush with the outer shell 5.
