  • Patent number: 11642989
    Abstract: A tilt structure to be provided allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. A link mechanism (a mechanism similar to a slider crank mechanism) composed of three turning pairs and one sliding pair is formed using a first frame 20, a second frame 25, a slider 37, and a connection member 30. The tilt structure includes a control member 40 or 47 for fixing or unfixing the tilt of the second frame 25. The control member 40 or 47 is provided controllably in order to lock or unlock motion of the link mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20220371649
    Abstract: A tilt structure allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. The tilt structure includes: a second frame attached to an upper portion of a first frame and is swingable upward and downward; and a control member attached to the second frame and is tiltable backward and forward through a tilting shaft. The control member includes a guide part with a groove housing a first frame pin. A locked and unlocked state switch to each other by causing the control member to tilt. The locked state includes a pin engaged with any of the engagement parts. The unlocked state includes the pin disengaged. The tilt of the second frame relative to the first frame is changed by engaging the pin with an arbitrary engagement part of any of the engagement parts and changing a distance between the tilting shaft and pin.

  • Publication number: 20220364325
    Abstract: A tilt structure to be provided allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. A control member 30 is coupled to a second frame 25 at a first coupling position P1 and is coupled to a first frame 20 at a second coupling position P2 provided below the first coupling position P1. Controlling the control member 30 makes the height of the first coupling position P1 adjustable. The tilt of the second frame 25 is changed in response to the height of the first coupling position P1.

  • Patent number: 11021088
    Abstract: An armrest structure for seat includes an armrest configured to move in a lateral width direction of the seat, a guide block configured to move in a front-rear direction of the seat, and an operation portion configured to be manually operated, such that the guide block moves in the front-rear direction. The armrest and the guide block are slidably engaged with each other in a direction inclined with respect to the lateral width direction and the front-rear direction of the seat. The armrest is configured to move in conjunction with the guide block in the lateral width direction, in response to an operation that the operation portion is operated to move the guide block in the front-rear direction. According to this armrest structure, an interval between the armrest on both sides can be adjusted in accordance with the physique and the posture of a seated person.
