Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an armrest applied to automobile seats and the like.

This type of armrest may have a recess formed on its upper surface, for example, to place a cup or use it as an ashtray.

Conventionally, such a concave portion of the armrest 10 is formed by, for example, covering a part 1 with a concave portion 11 formed on the upper surface with a skin 2, and cutting an X-shaped incision in the concave portion 21 of the skin 2, as shown in FIG. The four pieces 21A, 21B, 21C, and 21D are each bent inside the recess 11, and the wire 3 buried near the bottom of the recess 11 in the part 1 and the bent piece 21 are bent.
A, 321B, 21C, and 21D near the vertices are fixed with clips 4 as shown in FIG. 2, and then the finisher 5 is fitted into the recess 11 as shown by the dotted line, or FIG. As shown in FIG.
A configuration is provided in which the finisher E and the skin bottom 21F are sewn together, and then the finisher 5 is fitted into the recess 11 as shown by the dotted line.

However, in the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pieces 21A, 21B, 21C, and 21D of the skin 2 are
In order to fix it to the part 1, it takes a lot of effort to bury the wire 3 in the part 1 and fix it with the clip 4, and the number of parts increases accordingly. Further, even with the configuration shown in FIG. 3, it takes time and effort to sew the skin side wall portion 21E and the skin bottom portion 21F, and the number of parts increases accordingly. A further problem is that in both cases, when the finisher 5 is fitted into the recess 11, wrinkles are formed in the outer skin 2 around the finisher. Since the finisher 5 usually has a small coefficient of friction, when the finisher 5 is fitted into the recess 11, the skin 2 will not be pulled inward by the frictional force to prevent wrinkles from forming on the skin 2.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, by covering a part with a recess formed on the upper surface with an epidermis, cutting out the part of the epidermis covering the recess, and attaching an elastic member to the opposing piece of the incision. The main idea is that the finisher is tightly fitted into the recess from above.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the opposing pieces of the incised portion of the epidermis are pulled by the rubber band when the finisher is fitted into the recess of the patch, thus preventing the formation of wrinkles in the epidermis around the periphery of the finisher. Furthermore, there is no need for the labor and means of fixing the incised portion of the epidermis to the recess of the pad or sewing the incised portion, and the number of parts is reduced accordingly.

The present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG.
A recess 11 is formed on the upper surface, and 2 is a skin 2 that covers the pad 1 and is made of leather, fabric, or the like. The concave portion covering portion 21 of the skin 2 is cut out in the center into a rectangular shape, and the concave portion 11 of the part 1 is cut out from each vertex of the rectangle.
The four trapezoidal pieces 21A, 21B, 21C, and 21D are formed by making incisions at each corner.
And opposing pieces 21A, 21C and pieces 21B, 2
Rubber bands 6, 6, which are elastic members, are passed to 1D. The pieces 21A, 21C, 21B, 21D and the rubber bands 6, 6 are fixed by gluing, sewing, welding, stapling, or the like. At this time, the rubber band 6,
6 needs to be long enough to apply tension when the pieces 21A, 21C, 21B, and 21D are bent inside the recess 11. Piece 21 like this
Rubber bands 6, 6 on A, 21C, 21B, 21D
Then, as shown in FIG. 6, a plastic finisher 5 is fitted into the recess 11. At this time, pieces 21A, 21C, 21B, 21D
are pushed into the recess 11 by the finisher 5, but the pieces 21A, 21C, 21B, 21
Since D is stretched by the rubber bands 6, 6, the formation of wrinkles in the skin 2 at the periphery of the recess 11 is prevented. In this way, the finisher 5 is attached to the armrest 10 as shown in FIG. 7, and no wrinkles are formed in the skin 2 around the periphery of the finisher 5.

In cases other than the above-described embodiments, the concave covering portion 21 of the epidermis 2 is cut open to form chevron-shaped pieces 21A, 2 as shown in FIG.
Opposed pieces 21 forming 1B, 21C, 21D
Rubber bands 6, 6 on A, 21C, 21B, 21D
You may give them to each other. In addition to rubber bands, all elastic members such as springs and elastic cloth can be used as the elastic member.
