Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of armrest components, and more particularly to a retractable multifunctional armrest component for sofas. Background Technology

[0002] A sofa, a multi-seat chair with cushions, is the soul and core of the living room. It not only provides comfortable seating and reclining but is also an important expression of home style. Originating from the luxurious life of European nobles in the 17th century, it has evolved over hundreds of years to become an indispensable companion in modern families.

[0003] In the furniture industry, sofas, as common home furnishings, are mostly limited to sitting and resting. The armrests of existing sofas typically only serve a supporting and decorative purpose, offering limited functionality. In some scenarios, such as when users want to place items close to the sofa but have limited space, the traditional sofa and coffee table combination is inconvenient and has low space utilization. This is especially true for small apartments where there is a significant need for sofa functionality and space utilization. Some products use plug-in or hanging small tables, fixing them to the side of the sofa or the edge of the armrest. However, these tables are often exposed for extended periods, occupying passageway space, and their connection stability, load-bearing capacity, and overall aesthetics are insufficient. Particularly when the user does not need the tabletop function, these tables cannot be easily hidden, affecting the overall appearance.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a retractable multi-functional armrest assembly for sofas to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a retractable multi-functional armrest assembly for sofas. When not in use, the main body of the functional assembly can be placed inside the fitting groove of the armrest body, thereby reducing the space occupied by the main body of the functional assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a retractable multi-functional armrest assembly for a sofa, comprising an armrest body, the armrest body being adapted to be installed on one side of the sofa seat, and the side of the armrest body being provided with a fitting groove extending along the length direction of the armrest body and opening outward; The functional component body is disposed in the fitting groove and includes: a support surface for holding an item; a support portion disposed below the support surface; a fitting portion disposed on the side of the functional component body and cooperating with the inner wall of the fitting groove; and an external positioning structure disposed on the outside of the handrail body. Wherein: the functional component body is connected by a sliding fit between the fitting part and the fitting groove, and can reciprocate between a storage position and an external position along the length direction of the fitting groove; in the storage position, the functional component body is basically completely stored in the fitting groove, and the outer surface of the functional component body facing outward is basically flush with the side of the armrest body; in the external position, the functional component body is pulled out of the fitting groove, and the supporting part extends at least partially out of the fitting groove and cooperates with the external positioning structure, so that the support surface is located outside the armrest body and forms a usable platform.
