Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An armrest includes a frame, a mounting portion included in the frame and having a mounting surface with which the mounting portion is mounted on a bracket of a seat, an armrest-side wire harness arranged in the frame, and an armrest-side connector connected to the armrest-side wire harness and being open in a direction from the mounting surface toward the bracket.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An armrest comprising: a frame; a mounting portion included in the frame and having a mounting surface with which the mounting portion is mounted on a mount member; an armrest-side wire harness arranged in the frame; and an armrest-side connector connected to the armrest-side wire harness and being open in a direction from the mounting surface toward the mount member, wherein the frame further includes a protector that projects from the mounting surface toward the mount member, the armrest-side wire harness is arranged in the protector, and the armrest-side connector is attached to a projecting end portion of the protector. 2. The armrest according to claim 1 , wherein the protector is made of metal. 3. The armrest according to claim 1 , wherein the protector has a cross-sectional area taken along a surface thereof that is perpendicular to a projecting direction of the protector and the cross-sectional area of the protector is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the armrest-side connector. 4. The armrest according to claim 1 , wherein the protector includes a bottom wall and two side walls extending upward from side edges of the bottom wall, respectively, and one of the two side walls includes a stopper piece extending from a distal end of the one of the two side walls toward another one of the two side walls and the stopper piece is configured to hold the armrest-side wire harness. 5. An armrest to be mounted on a seat of a vehicle, the armrest comprising: a frame; a mounting portion included in the frame and having a mounting surface with which the mounting portion is mounted on a bracket of the seat; an armrest-side wire harness arranged in the frame; and an armrest-side connector connected to the armrest-side wire harness and being open in a direction from the mounting surface toward the bracket, wherein the frame further includes a protector that projects from the mounting surface toward the bracket and is inserted in the seat while the mounting surface is being attached to the bracket, the armrest-side wire harness is arranged in the protector, and the armrest-side connector is attached to a projecting end portion of the protector. 6. The armrest according to claim 5 , wherein the protector is made of metal. 7. The armrest according to claim 5 , wherein the protector has a cross-sectional area taken along a surface thereof that is perpendicular to a projecting direction of the protector and the cross-sectional area of the protector is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the connector. 8. The armrest according to claim 5 , wherein the protector includes a bottom wall and two side walls extending upward from side edges of the bottom wall, respectively, and one of the two side walls includes a stopper piece extending from a distal end of the one of the two side walls toward another one of the two side walls and the stopper piece is configured to hold the armrest-side wire harness.
