Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a footrest construction for a seater to put his/her foot on a footrest.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Conventionally, a vehicular seat has been provided with a footrest.
- This footrest comprises a footrest plate on which a seater puts his/her foot and support pipes for supporting the footrest plate. The support pipes are supported on holding pipes in a bracket provided under the seat so as to be capable of being freely pulled out.
- Thereby, at a normal time, a storage state can be formed in which the support pipes are inserted in the holding pipes to move the footrest plate toward the seat. Also, when the footrest is used, a pulling-out state can be formed by pulling the support pipes out of the holding pipes to arrange the footrest plate on the front side of the seat.
- However, such a footrest has a problem in that the support pipes are positioned by slidable contact resistance with the holding pipes, and therefore the footrest in the storage state cannot be held surely.
- To overcome this problem, it can be thought that the slidable contact resistance between the support pipe and the holding pipe is increased. In this case, however, there arises a problem in that the pulling-out operability is deteriorated.
- The present invention has been achieved in view of the above conventional problems, and accordingly an object thereof is to provide a footrest construction capable of surely holding a footrest without impairing the pulling-out operability.
- To solve the above problems, the present invention as set forth in
claim 1 provides a footrest construction in which a support bar of a footrest is supported so as to be capable of being freely pulled out of a support portion, wherein a lock mechanism is provided in which when a storage state is formed by moving the footrest toward the support portion, movement of the support bar in a pullout direction from the support portion is blocked. - That is to say, when the storage state is formed by moving the footrest toward the support portion, the movement of the support bar of the footrest in the pullout direction from the support portion is blocked by the lock mechanism.
- Therefore, the footrest in the storage state can be held surely.
- Also, in the footrest construction as set forth in claim2, an engagement groove is provided in a side face of the support bar, and the lock mechanism is formed by providing a locking claw which is urged toward the side face of the support bar and engages with the engagement groove in the support bar in the storage state and a release lever for releasing an engagement state of the locking claw with the engagement groove at operation time thereof.
- That is to say, when the footrest is made in the storage state, the locking claw urged toward the side face of the support bar is engaged with the engagement groove formed in the side face of the support bar, whereby the movement of the footrest in the pullout direction is blocked.
- When the footrest is used, the engagement state of the locking claw with the engagement groove is released by operation of the release lever.
- Further, in the footrest construction as set forth in claim3 and claim 4, a handle for operation is provided in one side portion of the footrest; the support bar is formed by a first bar extending from one side portion in which the handle is provided and a second bar extending from the other side portion; the support portion is provided with a first holding portion for holding the first bar so as to be capable of being freely pulled out and a second holding portion for holding the second bar so as to be capable of being freely pulled out; and the slidable contact resistance between the second bar and the second holding portion is set so as to be lower than the slidable contact resistance between the first bar and the first holding portion.
- That is to say, the handle for operation is provided in one side portion of the footrest, and the footrest is pulled out or stored by using this handle.
- At this time, the slidable contact resistance between the second bar and the second holding portion that are distant from the handle is set so as to be lower than the slidable contact resistance between the first bar and the first holding portion that are close to the handle. Therefore, the sliding motion of the second bar at which the operating force from the handle is low can be performed smoothly.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of an essential portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a lever component of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a holding construction of a footrest of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
- One embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG.1 is a view of a
footrest 1 having a footrest construction in accordance with the embodiment. - The
footrest 1 comprises afootrest plate 11 on which a seater puts his/her foot andsupport bars 12 for supporting thefootrest plate 11. Ahandle 13 for pulling out/pushing in thefootrest 1 extends to the right from the right-hand side portion of thefootrest plate 11. Thesupport bars 12 are made up of afirst bar 14 extending to the rear R from the right-hand side portion of thefootrest plate 11 provided with thehandle 13 and asecond bar 15 extending to the rear R from the left-hand side portion of thefootrest plate 11. Both thebars support bars 12 made up of both thebars bracket 16 for fixing a seat as a support portion provided under the seat. - On a
first box 21 provided in the right-hand side portion of thebracket 16, afirst holding pipe 22, which is a first holding portion, is fixed in a state of being inclined downward to a front, and in thefirst holding pipe 22, thefirst bar 14 is inserted so as to be capable of being freely inserted and drawn. Also, on asecond box 23 provided in the left-hand side portion of thebracket 16, asecond holding pipe 24, which is a second holding portion, is fixed in a state of being inclined downward to the front, and in thesecond holding pipe 24, thesecond bar 15 is inserted so as to be capable of being freely inserted and drawn. - Both the
bars holding pipe bars holding pipes footrest plate 11 toward the seat. Also, they are configured so that when thefootrest 1 is used, a pulling-out state (not shown) can be formed by pulling both thebars holding pipes footrest plate 11 on the front side of the seat. - As shown in FIG. 2, in the
first box 21, there is provided alock mechanism 31 for blocking the movement of thefirst bar 14 in a pullout direction from thefirst holding pipe 22 when the storage state K is formed. - Specifically, on the upper face of the
first bar 14, alinear engagement groove 41 extending transversely is formed on the upper face side, and in thefirst holding pipe 22, anotch 42 is formed just above a position at which theengagement groove 41 in thefirst bar 14 is located in the storage state K. Also, on the front F side of thenotch 42 is fixed asupport bracket 43, and alever component 45 is rotatably supported on a rotatingshaft 44 at the upper part of thesupport bracket 43 as shown in FIG. 3. - The
lever component 45 is formed by bending a metal sheet, and alocking claw 52 that is bent transversely and extends downward is provided at the rear end of the left-hand side portion 51. As shown in FIG. 2, thelocking claw 52 passes through thenotch 42 in thefirst holding pipe 22 and engages with theengagement groove 41 in thefirst bar 14, which is in the storage state K, in a state of being inserted. - In a right-
hand side portion 61 of the lever component 45 (see FIG. 3), aprotrusion 62 protruding upward is formed. To the tip end of theprotrusion 62, one end of acoil spring 63 is locked. The other end of thecoil spring 63 is locked to anupright wall 64 in thefirst box 21. For thelever component 45, thelocking claw 41 is urged toward the upper face of thefirst lever 14 by thecoil spring 63. - From a left-
hand side portion 51 of the lever component 45 (see FIG. 3), atongue 71 extending toward the front F is formed. Thetongue 71 passes through an opening 73 in afront wall 72 of thefirst box 21. A resin-madeknob 74 is fitted on thetongue 71, and there is formed arelease lever 75 for releasing an engagement state with theengagement groove 41 by displacing thelocking claw 52 upward when theknob 74 is pressed downward by a finger. - As shown in FIG. 4, at the front and rear ends of the
first holding pipe 22, resin-madefirst bushes 82 through which thefirst bar 14 passes are inserted, and at the front and rear ends of thesecond holding pipe 24, resin-madesecond bushes 83 through which thesecond bar 15 passes are inserted. - The
first bush 82 consists of a circular ringshaped collar portion 91 and acylindrical portion 92 extending from thecollar portion 91, and thecylindrical portion 92 is formed with anengagement hole 94 with which aclaw 93 formed by cutting and raising a part of thefirst holding pipe 22 engages. At a tip end of thecylindrical portion 92, a diameter-decreasingportion 95 narrowed toward the center is formed so that the diameter-decreasingportion 95 is in slidable contact with the whole circumferential surface of thefirst bar 14. - On the other hand, the
second bush 83 consists of a circular ring shapedcollar portion 101 andextensions collar portion 101 so as to face each other. Eachextension engagement holes claw 103 formed by cutting and raising a part of thesecond holding pipe 24 engages. At tip ends of theextensions bent portions bent portions second bar 15. - Thereby, the slidable contact resistance between the
second holding pipe 24 in which thesecond bushes 83 are fitted and thesecond bar 15 is set so as to be lower than the slidable contact resistance between thefirst holding pipe 22 in which thefirst bushes 82 are fitted and thefirst bar 14. - In this embodiment configured as described above, when the storage state K is formed by moving the
footrest 1 toward thebracket 16 under the seat, thesupport bars 12 of thefootrest 1 are prevented by thelock mechanism 31 from moving in the direction such as to be pulled out of thebracket 16. Therefore, thefootrest 1 in the storage state K can be held surely without increasing holding force of thesupport bars 12 even if a great force is produced, for example, at vehicle collision. - Thus, the
footrest 1 can be prevented from projecting unexpectedly without impairing pulling-out operability. - Also, merely by storing the
footrest 1, thelocking claw 52 of thelock mechanism 31 urged toward the upper face of thefirst bar 14 can be engaged with theengagement groove 41 in the upper face of thefirst bar 14. Thereby, a locked state in which the movement of thefootrest 1 in a pullout direction is blocked can be formed. - On the other hand, when the
footrest 1 is used, while thehandle 13 in the right-hand side portion of thefootrest plate 11 is gripped by one hand, therelease lever 75 of thelock mechanism 31 is pressed downward by the thumb of the hand. Thereby, the lockingclaw 52 is moved upward, and an unlocked state in which the engagement state of the lockingclaw 52 with theengagement groove 41 is released can be formed. - Thus, at the storage time, merely by storing the
footrest 1, the locked state can be formed. Also, at the pullout time, the unlocked state can be formed by a hand operating thehandle 13 of thefootrest 1. - Also, by operating the
handle 13, thefootrest 1 can be pulled out or stored. Therefore, the hand can be prevented from being soiled at the operation time. - At this time, the slidable contact resistance between the
second bar 15 and thesecond holding pipe 24 that are distant from thehandle 13 is set so as to be lower than the slidable contact resistance between thefirst bar 14 and thefirst holding pipe 22 that are close to thehandle 13. Therefore, the sliding motion of thesecond bar 15 at which the operating force from thehandle 13 is low can be performed smoothly. - Accordingly, both the
bars footrest 1 can be performed easily. - As described above, in the footrest construction as set forth in
claim 1, the movement in the pullout direction of the support bars of the footrest in the storage state can be blocked by the lock mechanism. Therefore, the support bars can be held surely without increasing the holding force of the support bar. - Thus, the footrest can be prevented from projecting unexpectedly without impairing the pulling-out operability.
- Also, in the footrest construction as set forth in claim2, merely by making the footrest in the storage state, the locking claw urged toward the support bar is engaged with the engagement groove in the support bar, by which the movement in the pullout direction of the footrest can be blocked. When the footrest is used, the engagement state of the locking claw with the engagement groove can be released by the operation of the release lever.
- Thereby, the locked state and the unlocked state of footrest can be formed easily.
- Further, in the footrest construction as set forth in claim3 and claim 4, the footrest can be pulled out or stored by operating the handle provided in one side portion of the footrest. Thereby, the hand can be prevented from being soiled at the operation time.
- At this time, the slidable contact resistance between the second bar and the second holding portion that are distant from the handle is set so as to be lower than the slidable contact resistance between the first bar and the first holding portion that are close to the handle. Therefore, the sliding motion of the second bar at which the operating force from the handle is low can be performed smoothly.
- Accordingly, both the bars can be moved in parallel, and hence the pullout and storage operations of the footrest can be performed easily.
