Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a table suitable for use by rear seat occupants in a vehicle such as an automobile, and particularly relates to a table that is attached to the seat back of a front seat.

When traveling long distances by train, car, or other vehicle, it is convenient to have a table near the seat so that you can eat a simple meal or play cards in the car. Therefore, in trains, long-distance buses, etc., simple tables such as foldable tables are often fixed to the vehicle body or seats. However, if such a table were to be installed as standard in a vehicle that is used for multiple purposes, such as a passenger car, it would not only increase costs for vehicles that do not require a table. , the space inside the car will be squeezed.

For these reasons, a vehicle table that can be easily installed and removed is desired, and various types have already been proposed. For example, some automobiles were designed to be used as a table by being hooked onto a portion of the door for support. However, this type of table requires a place to store the table when not in use, and there is a problem in that it is troublesome to handle. In addition, the upper end of the table support is hooked onto the upper shoulder of the seat back of the front seat, and the table body is rotatably supported by the table support, so that when the table is not in use, the table body is attached to the back of the seat back. Some were designed to be stored along the same lines. However, although this type of table support is easy to handle, it not only causes discomfort as the table support hits the back and shoulders of the front seat user, but also causes the table support to come off and fall off the seat back. There was a problem with how easy it was.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its main purpose is to attach the seat back of the front seat so that it does not come into contact with the user, and without the risk of it falling off. To obtain a table for a rear seat of a vehicle that can be reliably and easily attached and can be folded and stored when not in use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle table whose height can be adjusted to suit the user's physique and purpose of use.

In order to achieve these objectives, this invention:
A suspension support part is provided at the upper end of the table pillar through which the head rest pillar of the seat back of the front seat is inserted, and a pillar stay is provided at the lower end of the table pillar to be removably fixed to the frame of the seat back. The table is arranged vertically along the rear surface of the seat bag, and the front end of the table body can be slid onto the table pillar.
The table main body is supported so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and the table main body can be fixedly supported substantially horizontally at an appropriate height position.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The figure shows an example in which the table according to the present invention is attached to the front seat of a passenger car.
