Abstract
An embodiment is a swing armrest for a seat, the swing armrest including a fixation bracket fixed to a seatback frame or fixed to a seatback bracket that is fixed to the seatback frame, a rotation bracket rotatably fixed to the fixation bracket by a rotation pin, a return spring configured to elastically support the rotation bracket in a direction in which the rotation bracket rotates with respect to the fixation bracket, a fixing post protruding from the rotation bracket to a side of the seat, and an armrest coupled to the fixing post.
Claims12
A swing armrest for a seat, the swing armrest comprising:
- a fixation bracket fixed to a seatback frame or fixed to a seatback bracket that is fixed to the seatback frame;
- a rotation bracket rotatably installed on the fixation bracket;
- and
- an armrest fixed to the rotation bracket,
- wherein the fixation bracket comprises:
- two rotation support portions configured to rotatably support the rotation bracket at opposite sides of the rotation bracket, respectively,
- two fixed support portions configured to fix the two rotation support portions to the seatback frame, respectively,
- a stopper portion being rigidly fixed relative to the two rotation support portions and having a bridge shape that interconnects the two rotation support portions, the stopper portion being configured to restrict rotation of the rotation bracket;
- and
- a stopper fixing portion extending from the stopper portion in a circumferential direction of rotation of the rotation bracket and fixed to the seatback frame, and
- wherein the stopper fixing portion, together with the two rotation support portions, the two fixed support portions, and the stopper portion, forms a space that rotatably accommodates the rotation bracket.

A swing armrest for a seat, the swing armrest comprising:
- a fixation bracket fixed to a seatback frame or fixed to a seatback bracket that is fixed to the seatback frame;
- a rotation bracket rotatably fixed to the fixation bracket by a rotation pin;
- a return spring configured to elastically support the rotation bracket in a direction in which the rotation bracket rotates with respect to the fixation bracket;
- a fixing post protruding from the rotation bracket to a side of the seat;
- and
- an armrest coupled to the fixing post,
- wherein the fixation bracket comprises:
- two rotation support portions configured to support opposite ends of the rotation pin, respectively,
- a stopper portion being rigidly fixed relative to the two rotation support portions and having a bridge shape interconnecting the two rotation support portions in a state in which the fixing post protrudes from a space between the two rotation support portions so as to restrict lateral outward rotation of the rotation bracket away from a seating area of the seat,
- two fixed support portions each extending from a corresponding one of the two rotation support portions and fixed to the seatback frame, and
- a stopper fixing portion extending from the bridge-shaped stopper portion in a circumferential direction of rotation of the rotation bracket and fixed to the seatback frame, and
- wherein the stopper fixing portion, together with the two rotation support portions, the two fixed support portions, and the stopper portion, forms a cage-shaped space that rotatably accommodates the rotation bracket.
