Description:Field of the Invention

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of a vehicle seat(s). More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an armrest assembly for a vehicle seat.

Background of the Invention

[0002] Vehicle manufacturers are continually striving to include additional features in motor vehicles that provide greater convenience for a vehicle user. One such feature is a tray arrangement which can be used for holding/placing any articles such as laptops or books and the like. The tray arrangement has to be compact so that they can be accommodated in a compact space.

[0003] The table arrangement beside a vehicle armrest is a convenient feature that provides a flat surface for passengers to use for various activities such as eating, writing, or working on a laptop. The tray is typically designed to be adjustable and retractable or foldable, allowing passengers to easily store and access it when needed. Such types of trays are typically designed to be attached to the rear seat armrests. When not in use, the tray table can be easily folded and stored away, making it a great space-saving solution. This type of tray is typically designed to provide a larger surface area than a traditional armrest table, and it can be easily folded and stored away when not in use. The folding mechanism may consist of hinges or other types of connectors that allow the tray table to be folded flat against the vehicle seat.

[0004] However, the complexity of integration of such tray in armrest made it difficult to manufacture. Also, these retractable tables are often found in luxury vehicles or premium segment vehicles and may come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the vehicle model and the manufacturer's design. It is very expensive and there is no solution available for entry and value segment vehicles.

[0005] Therefore, there is a requirement of an armrest with tray tables which may partially or completely overcome the problems of the prior arts.

Objects of the Invention

[0006] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide an armrest assembly for a vehicle seat having a tray arrangement for holding/placing any articles or for variety of purposes, such as working on a laptop, eating a meal, or playing a game such as laptops or books and the like.

[0007] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a tray arrangement on the armrest wherein the tray arrangement can be arranged at one side or at two opposite side of the armrest that can enhance the comfort and functionality of the passengers, particularly for a passenger who need to work on the go.

[0008] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a tray arrangement on the armrest wherein the tray arrangement is removable allowing passengers to easily access it when needed within a vehicle or outside the vehicle as desired.

Also, the armrest (100) can be adjustable in height.

[0040] In the present embodiment, the armrest (100) includes a hollow portion (150) for releasably securing a portion of a tray (110) for configuring a first tray arrangement (110a) and a second tray arrangement (110b). The hollow portion (150) is configured at a side portion (152) of the armrest (100) such that the hollow portion (150) is extended in the width-wise direction of the armrest (100) as shown in figure 1. The tray (110) is a flat member or a shallow container or plate like structure that is used for carrying and/or holding items such as food, drinks, or small objects. In the present embodiment, tray (110) is a flat member which is likely to be inserted at least partially in the hollow portion (150) of the armrest (100) to configure a tray arrangement for holding various articles. More particularly, in the first tray arrangement (110a) the tray (110) is partially inserted into the hollow portion (150) (as shown in figure 1 and 1a-d) and in the second tray position (110b) the tray (110) is inserted through the hollow portion (150) (as shown in figure 2 and 2a-d). The hollow portion (150) can be of any size and shape and the size and shape of the tray (110) depends on the hollow portion (150). The tray (110) is adapted to (positively) fit within the hollow portion (150) of the armrest (100) such that the extended portion of the tray (110) can be utilised as a table for the occupants. In an embodiment, the tray is engageable within the hollow portion (150) to prevent relative movement of the tray (110) within the hollow portion (150).

[0041] Referring now to figures 1, 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d, the first tray arrangement (110a) corresponds to a position where the tray (110) is releasably secured to the armrest (100) such that the tray (110) is extending at only one side of the armrest (100). In such configuration, one of the occupants sitting on a seat can use the tray (110) or the occupants sitting face to face or beside the tray can use the tray (110) as a table for holding articles or to work on a laptop, eat a meal, or play a game and the like. In case of face to face, for example, if the front seat is adapted to rotate 180 degree facing rear seat of the vehicle, the tray (110) in between can be used by both the front seat occupant and the rear seat occupant.

[0042] The second tray arrangement (110b) corresponds to a position where the tray (110) is releasably secured to the armrest (100) such that the tray (110) is extending through the hollow portion (150) towards opposite sides of the armrest (100). In the second tray arrangement (110b), the tray (110) can be usable by at least two passengers sitting beside (side by side) one another. Specifically, in the second tray arrangement (110b), the tray (110) can be extended from the armrest (100) laterally towards the adjacent seats or the rear bench to configure a use position of the tray (110) for both the passengers sitting side by side on the adjacent seats or the rear bench/seat.

[0043] Referring now to figure 1 and 2, the tray (110) includes a first portion (112) and a second portion (114). The first portion (112) and the second portions (114) are flat portions. In the first tray arrangement (110a), both the first and second portions (112 and 114) are extending only one side of the armrest (100) (as shown in fig 1). In the second tray arrangement (110b), the first portion (112) is extending towards a first side of the armrest (100) and the second portion (114) is extending towards a second side opposite to the first side of the armrest (100) (as shown in fig 2).

[0044] In an embodiment, the first portion (112) and the second portion (114) are hingedly connected to each other along a hinge axis (115a) as shown in figure 3. A hinge arrangement (115) between the first portion (112) and the second portion enables a 180° movement along the hinge axis (115a) such that the first portion (112) and the second portion (114) can be folded along the hinge axis (115a) to configure a folded condition (120a). In an embodiment, the first portion (112) can be locked against the second portion (114) or vice versa by locking the hinge axis (115a) or by providing a locking arrangement or a magnetic arrangement to hold the first portion (112) and the second portion (114) in the folded condition (120a). In an embodiment, the first portion (112) or the second portion (114) of the tray (110) include a cup holder for holding beverages. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to modify or customize the usable area of the tray portions for holding various equipment’s or accessories such as laptops, books and the like.

[0045] In the first tray arrangement (110a), the tray portions (112, 114) are arranged in the folded condition (120a) which are releasably secured to the hollow portion (150) of the armrest (100) such that the tray portions (112, 114) in the folded condition (120a) extends at only one side of the armrest (100) as shown in figure 1. In the folded condition (120a), the first portion (112) and the second portion (112) are foldable along the hinge axis (115a) substantially parallel to each other or can be aligned or placed one above the other.
[0046] In the second tray arrangement (110b) as shown in figures 2, 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d, the first portion (112) and the second portion (114) are in unfolded condition (120b) and are substantially extending in a same plane. In the unfolded condition (120b) the first portion (112) and the second portions (114) are releasably secured to the hollow portion (150) of the armrest (100) such that the first tray portion (112) extends towards the first side of the armrest (100) and the second tray portion (114) extends towards the second side of the armrest (100), the first side being opposite to the second side as shown in figure 2.

[0047] In an embodiment, in unfolded condition (120b), the first portion (112) and the second portion (114) may lock each other in the same plane and stays in a flat straight position, thus the first and second portion (112 and 114) can be inserted into the hollow portion (150) to configure the second tray arrangement (110b). In another embodiment, in the unfolded condition (120b), the first portion (112) and the second portion (114) can be separated by each other and then the first portion (112) can be inserted into the hollow portion (150) from a first side and the second portion (114) can be inserted into the hollow portion (150) from a second side opposite to first side for configuring the second tray arrangement (110b).

[0048] Referring again to figures 1c, 2c and 3, the armrest (100) has a protrusion (130) substantially at a central region of the hollow portion (150) of the armrest (100). In the present embodiment, the protrusion (130) extends from a top central region of the armrest (100) and a bottom central region of the armrest (100).
