Patent number: 11230209Abstract: An armrest device is provided in which deformation of an armrest frame is suppressed. The armrest device includes an armrest frame, and a bracket by which the armrest frame is rotatably supported. The armrest frame has, at lengthwise extremities thereof, a base end closer to an axis of rotation and a distal end farther from the axis of rotation. The bracket includes a deformation restriction portion provided protrusively toward the armrest frame, the deformation restriction portion being a portion which faces toward the armrest frame in a direction of the axis of rotation of the armrest frame and which is located on one side of the axis of rotation on which the base end is located, when an armrest is in a use position.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: TS TECH CO., LTD.Inventor: Hidetsune Nonaka

Patent number: 10906441Abstract: An armrest is fixed to a shaft (20) of a one-way clutch (1) that is provided on a seat frame, and is rotatable together with the shaft (20) relative to the seat frame. The armrest is configured to be switchable by the one-way clutch (1) between a locked state in which rotation of the armrest in a downward direction is restricted and an unlocked state in which rotation of the armrest in upward and downward directions is allowed. The armrest includes a main frame (100) constituting a framework of the armrest, and a reinforcement frame (200) having a thickness larger than that of the main frame (100), the reinforcement frame (200) and the main frame (100) lying one over another. The reinforcement frame (200) is fixed to the shaft (20).Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: TS TECH CO., LTD.Inventor: Hidetsune Nonaka
