Description

Armrest and sofa with storage function

The invention relates to a kind of furniture, in particular to an armrest and a sofa with a storage function.

Sofa is a very common and widely loved furniture in life. However, the indoor space occupied by sofas should not be underestimated. Especially in modern urban life, the indoor space that ordinary people can have is more limited. Therefore, under the condition of limited indoor space, the pursuit of efficient and simple space applications has become an important issue.

An existing sofa includes a seat for users to sit on, and two armrests respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the seat and fixed to the seat. The disadvantage of the existing sofa is that it only provides a riding function, and cannot meet the needs of modern life at the same time. For example, when using mobile phones, watching TV, reading books and other leisure activities on the sofa, there is a lack of space for sundries, which is quite inconvenient.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an armrest with a storage function that can effectively utilize indoor space and is convenient to use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a sofa using the armrest with storage function.

Therefore, the armrest with storage function of the present invention includes a hollow shell, a first partition arranged in the shell, and a sliding cover supported by the shell and located above the first partition. The shell and the first partition define a first storage space with an upward opening and a second storage space with an upward opening.

The sliding cover can slide between a first use position and a second use position in a forward and backward direction relative to the casing. When the sliding cover is in the first use position, the sliding cover shields the opening of the first storage space and exposes the opening of the second storage space. When the sliding cover is in the second use position, the sliding cover shields the opening of the second storage space and exposes the opening of the first storage space. Comparing the area shielded by the sliding cover in the first use position and the area shielded by the sliding cover in the second use position can define an overlapping area.

The sofa with storage function of the present invention includes the armrest with storage function and a base unit. The seat body unit has at least a seat portion and at least one backrest portion connected above the at least seat portion and located on the rear side along the front-rear direction. The armrest with storage function is arranged on one side of the seat unit along a left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

The effect of the present invention is that articles can be stored by the first storage space and the second storage space to effectively utilize the indoor space. In addition, the slide cover can not only provide The arm rests, and it can be pushed freely so as to freely take the items in the first storage space and the second storage space, which greatly improves the convenience.
