Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a door armrest for an automobile.

An armrest is attached to the inside of a car door, but this armrest is generally fixed and its position cannot be adjusted. At present, passengers who use armrests are unable to adjust the armrests in the longitudinal direction to find a position that suits their preference, and are unsatisfied with the use of the armrests.

Some armrests are attached using a parallel link mechanism, but the purpose of this is to adjust the armrest's position in two levels, up and down. Changing the up-down position also changes the front-back position, but it is not possible to move it up and down. Since it can be obtained at the end, it is not possible to determine the front and rear positions according to your preference.

The present invention provides an armrest whose position in the front and back direction can be adjusted in several stages, and which is also easy to operate.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 is an automobile door, 2 is a door trim, and 3 is an armrest.

In the present invention, a steel plate 9 is attached to the door inner panel 4 at the position where the armrest 3 is to be attached, and a guide plate 11 facing the steel plate 9 with a gap is attached using bolts 14.
The guide plate 11 has a guide slot 13 that is long in the front-rear direction of the door 1, and guide slots 1 are formed along the guide slot 13 at required intervals in the front-rear direction of the door 1.
3 and a plurality of grooves 12 in a direction perpendicular to the groove 12,
A slide plate 5 is interposed in the gap between the iron plate 9 and the guide plate 11 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the door 1, and the slide plate 5 engages with a groove 12 provided on the guide plate 11. the convex shape 10 and the iron plate 9
a plate spring 6 that presses the slide plate 5 in a direction in which the convex shape 10 is engaged with the grooved line 12;
A boss 7 is provided protruding from the armrest 3, and a bolt 8 is inserted into the slide plate 5 by passing through the boss 7 through a guide slot 13 provided in the guide plate 11 and leaving a gap between the armrest 3 and the door trim 2. It is connected by.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, normally the armrest 3 is pressed against the guide plate 11 by the elasticity of the plate spring 6 of the slide plate 5 that contacts the surface of the iron plate 9, and the protruding strip 10 is pressed against the guide plate 11. It engages with the opposing grooves 12 to restrict movement in the front-rear direction.

When the armrest 3 is moved in the front-rear direction, when the armrest 3 is pushed toward the door trim 2, the leaf spring 6 is compressed, the protruding strip 10 is disengaged from the grooved strip 12, and the lock is released. In this state, when the armrest 3 is moved back and forth and the pressure on the armrest 3 is released at a desired position, the slide plate 5 is pressed against the guide plate 11 by the elastic action of the leaf spring 6, and the concave line 12 where the convex line 10 is mated It is engaged and locked.

In addition, when the armrest 3 moves in the front-rear direction, the boss 7 slides and guides the guide slot 13 of the guide plate 11, and when the guide slot 13 is formed into an arc shape as described above, the armrest 3 It can have an inclination angle.

As described above, according to the present invention, the armrest can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction by pushing the armrest toward the door trim and moving it in the longitudinal direction.
This is achieved by the pitch of the protrusions on the slide plate and the numerous concave lines provided on the guide plate with which it engages, allowing for fine adjustments to the front and rear positions according to your preference, and also a sense of moderation in the adjustment operation. It has the advantage of being easy to hold and use. In addition, since it is normally held in a locked state by being pressed by a leaf spring, it is reliably positioned at a predetermined position without generating vibration noise due to resonance.
