[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a door armrest attached to a vehicle door trim, and more particularly to a door armrest structure that can move up and down and front and back.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, this type of door armrest 31 is fixedly attached to the door trim 32 of the door, and when the seat is seated, it is placed on the door armrest 31 from the elbow of the occupant to the lower arm, so that the seatability in the vehicle is improved. It is intended to improve the.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, the occupant's physique and riding posture are different for each person, and the seat cushion or seat back is provided so that the angle, height, and front / rear can be adjusted. Since the door armrest 31 is attached, the door armrest 31 is not always in a position where it is easy for the passenger to use. . Further, when the center armrest is attached to the seat and moves along with the forward and backward movement of the seat, the positions of the center armrest and the door armrest 31 are displaced forward and backward, which makes it difficult to use the door armrest 31. ..

In view of the above technical problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a door armrest structure capable of moving the door armrest to a preferable position.

[0005]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The door armrest 1 is composed of a cover member 4, a movable member 14, and an armrest member 21. The cover member 4 is composed of a cover main body 5 and a mounting reinforcing plate 6, and the cover main body 5 is formed into a substantially box shape that opens toward the door trim 2 side, and two holes 5a are formed at predetermined intervals on the upper surface. Has been done. In addition, locking pieces 5b that engage with the locking member 8 are formed at the corresponding positions of the left and right opening edges.

The mounting reinforcing plate 6 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape corresponding to the size of the opening of the cover body 5, and holes 6a are formed at predetermined intervals in the center thereof, and nuts are provided in the holes 6a. 6b is fixed by welding means, and the locking member 8 is attached through the nut 6b. The locking member 8 is formed in a horizontally long plate shape so as to be able to lock with the locking piece 5b of the cover body 5, and the locking member 8 is provided with a bracket corresponding to the hole 5a penetrating the cover body 5. G7 is attached. The bracket 7 is formed into a substantially hook shape by bending the support piece 7a horizontally from the upper ends of the attachment piece 7b and the attachment piece 7b. The support piece 7a corresponds to the hole 5a penetrating the cover body 5. A locking hole 7c for locking the support member 10 is provided through.

The mounting reinforcing plate 6 formed in this manner is attached to a predetermined position of the door trim 2 integrally with the locking member 8, and the hooks 5 b of the cover body 5 are attached to both ends of the locking member 8. It is hooked and locked, and in this locked state, the hole 5a of the cover body 5 and the locking hole 7c of the bracket 7 are aligned concentrically, and a pair of support members 10 are provided between the holes 5a and 7c. Inserted and locked.

The support member 10 is formed into a cylindrical shape that can be inserted into the holes 5a and 7c, and a head portion 10a that engages with the edge of the hole 5a is formed at the upper end of the support member 10. For example, a ball latch is built in, and its operation lever 12 is attached. Further, a locking portion 10b that locks with the locking hole 7c of the bracket 7 is formed at the lower end portion, and the support member 10 is inserted and locked into the holes 5a and 7c, respectively. An armrest member 21 is attached to the cover member 4 thus attached via the movable member 14.

The movable member 14 is composed of a slide stay 15, a slide guide 17 and a rail member 19. The slide stay 15 is formed in a substantially gate shape by a horizontal piece 15b and left and right leg pieces 15a. The left and right leg pieces 15a are provided so as to be inserted into the pair of support members 10 and one leg piece 15a is provided. The engaging recesses 16 are provided at predetermined intervals so that they can be engaged with the pole latches of the support member 10. A slide guide 17 is fixed along the horizontal piece 15a by welding means or the like. The slide guide 17 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a guide piece 17b is formed above and below the opening edge of the mounting portion 17a. The slide guide 17 has a substantially dish shape in cross section. Lock grooves 18 are provided at predetermined intervals. The slide stay 15 to which the slide guide 17 formed in this way is attached is inserted into the support member 10 and is provided so that the slide guide 17 can be vertically adjusted in position through the engaging recessed portion 16. An armrest member 21 is slidably attached via a rail member 19.

The rail member 19 is formed in a substantially C-shaped cross section that slidably fits in the slide guide 17, and a cutout portion 19 a is formed at a substantially central portion of a folded edge corresponding to the lock groove 18 of the slide guide 17. A lock claw 20 formed of a leaf spring or the like is attached to the lock groove 18 so as to be disengageable from the lock groove 18. Further, the armrest member 21 is formed into a substantially ship-like shape which is open to the door trim 2 side and can be mounted on the armrest. Brackets 25 for mounting the rail member 19 are attached to the left and right ends of the recess 24, which are formed by notching. The armrest member 21 formed in this manner is provided along the slide guide 17 via the rail member 19 so that the front and rear positions can be adjusted.

The door armrest 1 of this embodiment comprises a cover member 4 attached to the door trim 2 and an armrest member 21 attached to the cover member 4, and the cover member 4 is paired upright at a predetermined interval. A cylindrical support member 10 is provided, and a substantially gate-shaped slide stay 15 is vertically adjustable between the support members 10, and a slide having a plurality of lock grooves 18 is provided on an upper portion of the slide stay 15. The guide 17 is mounted horizontally, and the slide guide 17 is slidably provided with a rail member 19 having a lock groove 18 and a lock claw 20 that can be engaged and disengaged, and an armrest member 21 is provided via the rail member 19. It is configured to be attached. Therefore, the armrest member 21 can adjust its height position by vertically adjusting the slide stay 15, and can also adjust the position forward and backward along the slide guide 17, The position can be adjusted up / down / forward / backward according to the physique of the occupant, and the center armrest due to the sliding of the seat can be dealt with to ensure optimum seating comfort.

The vertical movement can be adjusted within the range of the width of the slide stay 15 in which the engaging recess 16 is formed, and further downward movement causes the slide stay 15 to bend and the support member. It is restricted by the fact that it cannot be inserted into 10, and the upward movement is restricted by forming the lowermost engaging recess 16 of the slide stay 15 so as not to come out from the ball latch. Further, the forward / backward movement can be adjusted within the range of the width in which the lock groove 18 provided in the slide guide 17 is formed, and the further forward / backward movement is caused by the slide guide 17 moving forward / backward of the rail member 19. It is regulated by abutting the mounting screw at the end. Since the movable member 14 having such a vertical and forward / backward sliding mechanism is hidden behind the armrest member 21 and the cover body 5 so as not to be seen from the outside, the interior of the vehicle is not damaged.

In this example, the up / down and front / rear slide movements are performed manually, but this slide movement can also be performed by an electric drive device.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 With the above configuration, the present invention allows the armrest on the outer side of the vehicle to be adjusted in the vertical and forward / backward directions according to the physique of the occupant, the riding posture, and the adjusted position of the seat. The seating ability at the time can be improved. Further, even when the center armless is movable as the seat moves, the left and right arm rests do not shift in the front-rear direction.
