Description

Arm rest having a pen holder in a motor vehicle}

The present invention relates to an arm rest for an automobile having a pen holder capable of holding a pen.

The car arm rest is a convenience device that allows the occupant to raise his arm to allow the occupant to take a comfortable position. Such arm rests are typically formed integrally with the door trim, or are installed in the center of the rear seat 1 as shown in FIG.

Among them, the arm rest 2 installed in the center portion of the rear seat 1 includes an upper case 10 and a lower case 20, as shown in FIG. 2, and an upper case 10 and a lower case. A predetermined space is formed between the 20's.

The upper case 10 is composed of a core 11, a lower cover 12 covering the lower side of the core 11, and a skin material 13 covering the upper portion of the core 11. The core 11 and the skin Between the ashes 13 is filled with a foam 14 of foam material.

The upper case 10 is hingedly connected to the rear end of the lower case 20. Therefore, the space between the upper and lower cases 10 and 20 can be opened by the upper case 10 being rotated backwards, and small sized objects can be stored in the space.

The upper case 10 is fixed so that the upper case 10 is not rotated with respect to the lower case 20 by inserting the insertion protrusion 15 installed at the front side of the upper case 10 into the insertion groove 21 of the lower case 20. do.

The lower case 20 is rotatably installed rearward through the rotating member 22 provided at the rear end thereof. Therefore, when three people ride on the rear seat, the lower case 20 is rotated rearward, so that the boarding space of the rear seat can be enlarged.

However, since the conventional arm rest does not have a separate mechanism for accommodating the pen, the pen is mixed with other objects in the storage space of the arm rest. Therefore, when the passenger wants to use the pen, there is a lot of inconvenience in removing the pen from the other objects in the storage space. In addition, since the objects of the small rest are generally accommodated in the storage space of the arm rest, the height of the stored objects is generally low, so there is a disadvantage that the space utilization of the upper portion of the storage space is low.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide an arm rest for a vehicle having a pen holder capable of holding a pen fixedly in a storage space.

In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle arm rest according to the present invention is the upper case is open lower case; An upper case hinged to an upper end of one side wall of the lower case to form a storage space together with a lower case, and an upper case on which an arm of a passenger is placed; And a pen holder for holding the pen fixedly in the storage space, wherein the pen holder extends downward from the lower surface of the upper case to define a pen holding groove into which the pen is inserted and inserted into the pen holding groove. The anti-separation jaw caught on the outer circumferential surface of the pen has a pair of retaining members formed at its lower end to prevent the pen from being detached. Preferably, the pen holder is provided along the pen retaining groove at the top of the pen retaining groove. It further has a support member accommodated so as to be movable, and an elastic member which is in close contact with an upper circumferential surface of the pen inserted into the pen holding groove and elastically supports the support member downward to fix the pen.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Automotive arm rests according to one embodiment of the invention are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

As shown, the arm rest according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an upper case 10, a lower case 20, and a pen holder 30. Among them, the configuration of the upper case 10 and the lower case 20 has the same configuration as the upper and lower cases of the conventional arm rest described above. Therefore, detailed description of the upper case 10 and the lower case 20 in the description of this embodiment will be omitted.

A pair of pen holders 30 are provided on the lower surface of the upper case 10, and the pen holders 30 are located in a straight line.

The pen holder 30 has a pair of holding members 32, a supporting member 34, and an elastic member 36.

The pair of holding members 32 are spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals and extend downward from the lower surface of the upper case 10. Thereby, the pen holding groove 31 into which the pen P is inserted is defined between the pair of holding members 32. The holding member 32 is formed at the lower end of the separation prevention jaw 33 to prevent the pen (P) inserted into the holding groove 31 is separated from the holding groove (31). Preferably, the lower width of the pen retaining groove 31, that is, the gap between the lower portions of the pair of retaining members 32, is the upper width of the pen retaining groove 31, that is, the upper portion of the pair of retaining members 32. Narrower than the gap between.

The support member 34 is accommodated in the pen holding groove 31 so as to be movable up and down. Preferably, the pen retaining groove 31 is in communication with the space between the cover 12 and the core 11 through a hole formed in the cover 12, the support member 34 is a flange 35 formed on the top Is placed on the upper surface of the cover 11, thereby preventing the pen holder groove 31 from completely falling out.

The elastic member 36 is provided in the space between the core 11 and the cover 12 of the upper case 10, and elastically supports the support member 34 downward. Preferably, this elastic member 36 is a leaf spring.

The occupant rotates the upper case 10 to the rear to open the inner space of the arm rest, and then inserts both sides of the pen P into the pen holding groove 31 of the pen holder 30, respectively. When the pen P is inserted into the holding groove 31, the pen P is held in the holding groove 31 without being separated from the holding groove 31 by the release preventing jaw 33 at the bottom of the holding member 32. . Then, when the lower surface of the pen support member 34 comes into contact with the support member 34, the support member 34 is moved upward while winning the elasticity of the elastic member 36. In this state, the support member 34 presses the pen P downward by the elasticity of the elastic member 35. Accordingly, the pen P inserted into the pen holding groove 31 is kept fixed so as not to move, and the phenomenon such as being separated from the holding groove 31 or noise is generated by vibration of the vehicle is prevented. .

In the arm rest according to the present invention as described above, a pen holder is provided on a lower surface of the upper case. Therefore, the pen can be fixedly stored in the arm rest, and the pen can be easily taken out and used when needed. In addition, it is possible to obtain an advantage that the utilization of the inner space of the arm rest is also increased.

In the above, the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to certain preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may vary without departing from the spirit of the technical idea of the present invention described in the claims below. It may be changed.
