Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an arm cover used for an automobile seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent small cargoes and small wagons, the rear seat has a seat cushion incorporating a descending device, while the seat back is assembled to the seat cushion with both free hinges and stands up by a locking mechanism. When the seat back is fallen down onto the seat cushion, the entire seat sinks down with its lowering device to gain luggage compartment height when the seat back is fallen down onto the seat cushion. ing. There, both free hinges use arms on fixed hinge brackets located on the seat cushion, and
A cover is attached to the arm. The cover is
Equipped with snap action type nails and headed nails,
Then, the snap-action claw is hooked into the stop hole of the arm, and the claw with the head is hooked into the hook hole with the fool hole of the arm, and the arm is stopped by the arm.
Since the claw with the head is slid in parallel with the arm to be stopped in the hook hole, the cover has poor mounting workability.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an arm cover which can be easily mounted on an arm by improving the mounting workability.

[0004]

Means corresponding to the object and the operation thereof
The arm cover body has a surrounding flange protruding from the periphery except the lower end to the back surface, and the arm is fitted over the arm so that the back surface is aligned with the arm, and a snap action type claw is stopped at the distal end side of the arm A fool hole that is insertable into the hole and protrudes from its backside at the upper end side of the arm cover body, and a claw pocket with a guide lip is drilled at the base side of the arm to protrude the claw into the hole opening. At the lower end of the body of the arm cover, protruding from its back side, and
The structure of the fool hole is such that the claw can be fitted therein, and during installation, the claw is fitted in the claw pocket with the guide lip guiding the claw in three dimensions.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The arm cover of the present invention will be described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 4 show a small cargo having a structure capable of falling down and sinking. FIGS. 10 and 10 show embodiments 10 and 10 of the arm cover of the present invention as utilized in a rear seat 20 of the present invention, and the rear seat 20 comprises a seat cushion 21 incorporating a lowering device (not shown). The seat cushion 21 is provided by the free hinges 22, 22.
Seat back (not shown) that is removably supported on the seat back, a head restraint (not shown) removably assembled to the seat back, and the seat back in the upright position with the seat back in place. Assembled from a lock mechanism (not shown) for preventing the cushion 21 from falling down, and when a strap (not shown) is pulled, the lock mechanism is released and the seat back is placed on the seat cushion 21. It adopts a structure where it falls down and the whole sheet sinks down with its descending device.

The two free hinges 22, 22 are fixed to the fixed hinge brackets 23, 23 arranged on the seat cushion 21 and the fixed hinge brackets 23, 23 arranged on the seat back with pins. Assembled with a movable hinge bracket (not shown) that is rotatably connected. There, the fixed hinge brackets 23, 23 are made on an arm, and the arms 23, 23 are assembled with the arm covers 10, 10.

In the arm cover 10, the arm cover main body 11 is provided with a surrounding flange 13 protruding from the periphery except the lower end to the rear surface 12, and the rear surface 12 is fitted to the arm 23 so as to cover the arm 23. And the snap action claw 14 is
The arm cover body 11 is protruded from the back surface 12 at the upper end side of the arm cover main body 11, and a claw pocket 15 with a guide lip is formed at the base side of the arm 23. Nail 2 in the hole opening 26
7 can be inserted into a protruding hole 25 and protrudes from its lower surface 12 at its lower end side of the arm cover body 11 and its claw 27 of the fool hole 25 can be fitted. The arm cover 10 is molded from a resin by injection.

[0008] The snap-action pawl 14 is embodied in a notched pawl, while the pawl pocket 15 is
The guide lip 16 is embodied in a funnel shape so that the pawl 27 can be guided in three dimensions. Furthermore, the claw pocket 15 raises the rattling surface 17 inside. Of course, the claw pocket 15 may be embodied on one side of a half-bell mouse.

Therefore, the arm cover 10
The claw pocket 15 is inserted into the fool hole 25 of the arm 23.
When fitted and then moved in its proximal direction of the arm 23, the pawl 27 is guided in three dimensions by the funnel-shaped guide lip 16 and fits easily in the pawl pocket 15. Then, the rattle 27 is absorbed by the rattling surface 17 and the pawl 27 is fitted to the pawl pocket 15. The snap-action pawl 14 is then snapped into the stop hole 24 of the arm 23 and the arm cover 10 is
The arm 23 can be easily assembled. This arm
In the cover 10, such attachment is possible and the attachment workability is improved.

As will be apparent from the specific embodiments of the present invention described above with reference to the drawings, the subject matter of the present invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. , The nature of the invention (nat
ure) and essence (substance)
Then, they are easily embodied in another mode that is objectively recognized as including them. Of course, the content of this invention is
According to the subject of the invention (be commensura
te with), and is essential for the establishment of the invention.

[0011]

As can be understood from the above, the arm cover of the present invention has an arm cover body provided with an enclosing flange projecting from the periphery excluding the lower end to the back surface, and aligning the back surface with the arm. And a snap-action claw is inserted into a stop hole on the distal end side of the arm and protrudes from the rear surface at the upper end side of the arm cover body.
A claw pocket with a lip is drilled into the base side of the arm to be inserted into a fool hole that protrudes the claw into the hole opening, protrudes from its back side at its lower end side of the arm cover body, and Since the claw of the hole can be fitted, the arm cover of the present invention allows the claw of the fool hole to be easily accommodated in the claw pocket during installation by being guided in three dimensions by the guide lip. Thus, the installation is simplified and the mounting workability is improved, so that it is very useful and practical for automobile seats.
