Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an armrest for a vehicle, and more particularly to an armrest that is detachably attached to a side wall of a vehicle interior.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, an armrest attached to a door panel of a vehicle interior is fixedly attached by means such as a snap stopper, and is in a state of protruding toward the vehicle interior.

However, armrests that are fixedly attached to the door panel side occupy a small space in the passenger compartment, which is an important problem for cars that are becoming smaller and smaller these days. .

In addition, there is a risk that your body, such as your head, may hit this armrest when the vehicle suddenly stops while driving at high speed.Furthermore, conventional armrests have the disadvantage that small items cannot be stored inside. had.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a storage space for small items on a wall such as a door panel of a vehicle, and to enable the lid that closes the space to be used as an armrest, thereby eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks. This will be explained in detail using examples.

1 to 4 are simplified configuration diagrams showing one embodiment of a vehicle armrest according to the present invention.
is a rear seat, and on the side of the door panel 2 corresponding to the side of this rear seat 1, there is a vehicle armrest 3 of the present application.
is provided.

The armrest 3 forms an accessory storage section 4,
The accessory storage section 4 includes a concave accessory storage space 5 provided in the door panel 2, a rotating arm 6 attached to both side walls of this accessory storage space 50, and a lid attached to the rotating arm 6. The arm 6 is composed of a substantially triangular rotating piece, and its lower end side is pivotally connected by a shaft 8.
As a result, the arms 6 can freely rotate from the outside of the storage space 5 toward the bottom, and a closing plate 9 is attached to the front wall 6m of each rotating arm 6 so as to bridge the front wall 6m. The front side of the arm 6 is closed, and the lid body 7 serving as an armrest consists of a plate-shaped cushion body and a skin material covering the surface of this cushion body.
The lid 7 is configured to have cushioning properties on both sides of the back surface, and one end of the lid 7 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the front side of the arm 6 by a shaft 10, so that the lid 7 can be attached to the rotating arm 6 from the closing plate 9 side. It can freely rotate in the direction of the upper wall 6a, and is held in a substantially horizontal state by a stopper f3b provided on the upper wall 6a.

According to the above configuration, when storing small items in the small item storage space 5, the rotating arm 6 is rotated to the front side to open it, and after storing the small item from this opening portion S, the arm 6 is opened. space 5
By rotating toward the bottom of the storage space 5, the storage space 5 can be closed by the closing plate 9, allowing small items to be stored.

In addition, when the lid body 7 is used as an armrest, the rotation arm 6 is rotated in the front direction, and after the upper wall 6a is rotated in a horizontal position, the lid body 7 is rotated upward. By moving and placing this lid 1 on the stopper 6b, it becomes possible to use this lid I as an armless I.

In addition, when using it as an armrest, the opening part S
This can prevent small items inside from being seen from the outside and being shuffled around, resulting in a good appearance.

In this embodiment, the height of the accessory storage space 5 is kept high, so that the arm 6 can be moved into the accessory storage space 5 with the lid 7 tilted toward the upper wall 6a of the rotating arm 6. It can also be stored by rotating it toward the bottom.

Further, the closing plate 9 may be omitted and the cover portion 7 may be used instead.

As explained above, according to the vehicle armrest according to the present invention, an arm that can be freely taken in and taken out is rotatably attached to the concave small item storage space provided on the side wall of the vehicle compartment, and the small item can be placed on this arm. A lid that blocks the storage space is rotatably attached, and this lid can be locked in a horizontal position, so that small items stored in the storage space can be covered with the lid. , it can be used as an armrest when necessary.

Therefore, the vehicle interior space can be used widely without occupying the space of the vehicle interior as in the conventional case, and when driving at high speeds, the vehicle can be folded down to the side wall such as the door panel, thus ensuring safety. becomes possible.
