Or, the shape maintenance characteristic is a property that maintains a specific shape when hanging in the air and collapses a little by its own weight when it is placed on a desk and released, but generally maintains the original specific shape. is there.

The skin 12 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has an upper surface 12x that is a surface on which a seated person puts an arm and

side surfaces

12y and 12y that are surfaces that hang downward on both sides. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B,

article accommodating recesses

16a and 16b are formed in the front portion of the armrest 5A. These

article accommodating recesses

16a and 16b are formed by forming recess shapes in the pad 11 and the second skin 12b. That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, the

article housing recesses

16 a and 16 b are formed by the peripheral surface 17 of the recesses and the bottom surface 18 of the recesses formed in the pad 11 and the skin 12.

In the present embodiment, the

article housing recesses

16a and 16b are formed by integral molding with the second skin 12b using a soft material having shape maintaining characteristics. The integral molding is to produce the second skin 12b and the

article accommodating recesses

16a and 16b by a molding process simultaneously using one mold. Instead of integral molding, the second skin 12b and the

article housing recesses

16a and 16b can be separately manufactured and then bonded together by stitching or stitching.

The article

accommodating recesses

16a and 16b have a shape D obtained by cutting the columnar shape C along a plane P1 parallel to its central axis X0, as shown in FIG. 3A. 2A and 2B, the

article accommodating recesses

16a and 16b have

open portions

19a and 19b that continuously exist from the upper surface 12x to the side surface 12y of the second skin 12b. Both end portions of the belt-like member 23 are bonded or stitched to the side surface 12y of the skin 12 and to the left and right portions of the side regions of the

article accommodating recesses

16a and 16b.

The belt-like member 23 is formed of a soft material having a shape maintaining characteristic like the second skin 12b. The belt-like member 23 may be manufactured separately from the second skin 12b and then joined to the second skin 12b by bonding, sewing, or the like. Alternatively, the belt-like member 23 may be integrally formed with the second skin 12b. It may be formed. The integral molding means that the second skin 12b and the belt-like member 23 are produced simultaneously by a molding process using one mold.

2A and 2B, the belt-like member 23 is located inside the

article receiving recesses

16a and 16b (internal position), and as shown in FIGS. 4, 5A and 5B, the

article receiving recesses

When the belt-like member 23 is formed of a soft material having a shape maintaining characteristic, the belt-like member 23 is moved to an inner position (FIGS. 2A and 2B) and an outer position (FIGS. 4 and 5A) by a relatively small force resulting from the shape maintaining characteristic. 5B). This stationary state is a relatively loose stationary state that can be solved by a relatively small force by a human finger.

The belt-like member 23 may be formed of a hard synthetic resin having flexibility and elasticity, for example, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PC (polycarbonate), instead of a soft material having shape maintaining characteristics. When the belt-like member 23 is formed of a hard synthetic resin having flexibility and elasticity, the belt-like member 23 is moved to an inner position (FIGS. 2A and 2B) or an outer position (FIGS. 4, 5A, and 5B) by a large elasticity. 5B) selectively stays in any position. The belt-like member 23 staying at these positions moves to the position of the other party by its own elastic force when a person applies a relatively large force with a finger, and stays at the position of the other party by its own elastic force. .
