Rear-seat armrest locking apparatus

摘要

A rear-seat armrest locking apparatus includes a release lever installed in an armrest to generate a pulling force, a link guide connected with the release lever through a release cable to provide a pulling force, and installed inside the armrest to move up and down, a link connected with the link guide to turn an up-and-down linear movement to a lateral movement, a locking pin connected with the link to laterally move by means of the pulling force transferred from the link, and being released from a locking hole of a side fixing plate, and a spring installed on the locking pin to return the locking pin to an original position of the locking pin and insert the locking pin into the locking hole. The rear-seat armrest locking apparatus prevents the armrest from being unfolded forward in a forward collision, thereby preventing an accident.

主权项

1. A rear-seat armrest locking apparatus comprising:
a release lever installed in an armrest to generate a pulling force; a link guide connected to the release lever through a release cable to provide the pulling force, and installed inside the armrest to move up and down; at least one link connected to the link guide to turn an up-and-down linear movement to a lateral movement; at least one locking pin connected to the at least one link to laterally move by means of the pulling force transferred from the at least one link, and configured to be released from at least one locking hole of a side fixing plate, thereby unlocking the armrest; and at least one spring installed on the at least one locking pin to return the at least one locking pin to an original position of the at least one locking pin and insert the at least one locking pin into the at least one locking hole, thereby locking the armrest; wherein the link guide is a plate having a pair of arcuate guide openings coupled with the at least one link, the pair of arcuate guide openings being symmetric about the release cable.
