Abstract

An attachment structure and an interior component is capable of supplying electric power to a functional component even when a vehicle is stopped. The functional component includes a first functional component attached to a fitting portion of an interior member, the fitting portion capable of supplying electric power, and a second functional component attached to the first functional component. The first functional component includes a first power receiver receiving the supply of the electric power from the fitting portion, a power storage storing the electric power, a power supply supplying the electric power to the first functional component and the second functional component, and an opening for connecting the second functional component. The second functional component includes an insertion inserted into the opening, and a second power receiver that receives the supply of the electric power from the first functional component when the insertion is inserted into the opening.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An attachment structure for a functional component to be attached to an interior member of a conveyance,
wherein the functional component includes a first functional component to be attached to a fitting portion of the interior member, the fitting portion being capable of supplying electric power, and a second functional component to be attached to the first functional component,
the first functional component includes a first power receiver that receives the supply of the electric power from the fitting portion, a power storage that stores the electric power, a power supply that supplies the electric power to the first functional component and the second functional component, and an opening portion for connecting the second functional component, and
the second functional component includes an insertion portion to be inserted into the opening portion, and a second power receiver that receives the supply of the electric power from the first functional component in a state where the insertion portion is inserted into the opening portion.

2. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the power supply includes a first power supply circuit that supplies the electric power to the first functional component, and a second power supply circuit that supplies the electric power to the second functional component, and is switchable between the first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit.

3. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the power supply includes a power transmission coil, the second power receiver of the second functional component includes a power receiving coil, and the electric power is supplied from the power supply of the first functional component to the second power receiver of the second functional component in a non-contact manner by bringing the power receiving coil closer to the power transmission coil.

4. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second functional component includes a table portion and a power supply jack capable of supplying the electric power supplied from the first functional component, to an external component.

5. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 4 ,
wherein the table portion of the second functional component is foldable.

6. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first functional component has a speaker function.

7. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the interior member is a door trim for a conveyance.

8. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 ,
wherein the interior member is a conveyance seat.

9. The attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 8 ,
wherein the conveyance seat is a seat that is foldable by putting a seating portion upright, and includes a fitting portion to which the first functional component and/or the second functional component is attached and which is capable of supplying the electric power, on a back surface of the seating portion.

10. An interior member, comprising:
the attachment structure for the functional component according to claim 1 .
