JPH068920Y2 - Vehicle leg rest - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a leg rest that is placed on the front floor of a vehicle seat and supports the legs and feet of an occupant.

<Prior Art> A leg support that can be placed on a front floor of a vehicle seat and foldable is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-169632.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> In the above-mentioned conventional leg support, both the legs and the feet of the occupant can be supported, but the legs are supported at the elevated position of the base plate by the horizontal movement of the base plate. The foot is supported at the lower position of the base plate. It is good to support the legs horizontally, but it is easier to support the foot at an angle of inclination rather than horizontal support.

Further, the above-mentioned conventional leg support has a structure connected to the support frame of the seat, and cannot be stored in a place where it does not get in the way when it is not needed.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides a leg rest that solves the above-mentioned problems, and has a structure in which a base is divided into front and rear parts and is integrally connected so as to be bendable by a hinge. A pan, a gate-shaped stay / carrying handle rotatably mounted on both sides of the rear base pan, and a clamp rotatably mounted on both sides of the front base pan for gripping both sides of the stay / carrying handle. With a shaft,
A cushion base that can be stored in the base pan and that has a clamp shaft on the other end that has a cushion on one side and an engaging groove that locks the front part of the stay and carrying handle on the other side And a lift arm having a rear end that is pivotally attached to both rear sides of the cushion base.

<Operation> With the above configuration, when the cushion base is stored in the base pan, it is thin, and the stay and carrying handle are easy to carry. Further, when the cushion base is stored, the front base pan is bent downward so that one side of the cushion base becomes an inclined surface to support the foot. Further, with the front and rear base pans on the same plane, the cushion base is inverted so that the cushion side faces upward, the lift arm engages with the clamped shaft, and the stay / carrying handle engages with the engagement groove provided in the cushion base. By fitting, the cushion is raised substantially horizontally and supports the leg.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a base pan. The base pan 1 is divided into a front base pan 1a and a rear base pan 1b, and both are integrally connected by a hinge 2 so as to be bendable.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a gate-shaped stay / carrying handle, which is rotatably attached to both sides of the rear base pan 1b.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a shaft that is integral with a clamp 5 that grips both sides of the stay / carrying handle 3, and is rotatably attached to both sides of the front base pan 1a.

6 is a cushion base. This cushion base 6
A cushion 7 is mounted on one side of the above, and an engaging groove 9 for locking the front portion of the stay / carrying handle 3 is provided on the other side 8.

Also, lift arms are provided on both rear sides of the cushion base 6.
Ten are pivoted. As shown in FIG. 5, a notch 11 that engages with and disengages from the shaft 4 is formed at the tip of the lift arm 10.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 12 denotes a rubber mat having a protrusion, which may be bonded to one surface 8 of the cushion base 6.

Since the present invention has the structure as described above, the lift arm 10
When the cushion 7 is pushed downward into the base pan 1 with the notch 11 at the tip of the seat 4 attached to the shaft 4, the cushion base 6 is stored in the base pan 1 as shown in FIG. It is stored in a small space such as the space below.

Further, by gripping the stay / carrying handle 3 with the clamp 5, this serves as a handle to facilitate carrying.

When the front base pan 1 is bent downward as shown in FIG. 2 when the cushion base 6 is in the retracted state, the front base pan 1 serves as a supporting leg, and one surface 8 of the cushion base 6 becomes an inclined surface, as shown in FIG. It is used as a footrest on a slope as shown on the left. At this time, when the rubber mat 12 with the protrusion is adhered to the one surface 8, the protrusion stimulates the sole of the foot to remove the fatigue of the body.

In addition, the front and rear base pans 1a and 1b are in a flat state, and the lift arm 10 is attached to the shaft 4 so that the third arm 3a
As shown in the figure, the cushion base 6 is lifted upward, and as shown in FIG. 4, the cushion base 6 is inverted with the pivot point of the lift arm 10 as a fulcrum, and the cushion 7 is directed upward. Clamp 3 3
By further detaching and standing up, the stay / carrying handle 3 is locked in the engaging groove 9 provided on one surface 8 of the cushion base 6 facing downward, as shown in FIG. The lift arm 10 and the stay / carrying handle 3 are used as supporting legs and are positioned above, and are used as leg rests on the cushion 7 as shown in the right side of FIG. If the lift arm 10 is made slightly shorter than the stay / carrying handle 3, the cushion base 6 leans slightly forward to obtain a more comfortable leg rest.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the cushion base is stored in the base pan, and the base is stored in a small space under the seat. Therefore, the seat can be moved from the front of the seat when not in use. In addition, the carrying handle makes it easy to carry. In addition to the leg rest that lifts and supports the cushion base,
In the case of a footrest, the cushion base becomes an inclined surface by bending the base pan, and a footrest in a comfortable posture can be obtained, and it can be used as a footrest at all times.
