2. A tilt structure to change the tilt of a console arranged at a lateral part of a seat, comprising:
a first frame arranged at the lateral part of the seat;
a second frame attached to an upper portion of the first frame in such a manner as to be pivotable upward and downward; and
a control member arranged between the first frame and the second frame, wherein
the control member is coupled to the second frame at a first coupling position and is coupled to the first frame at a second coupling position provided below the first coupling position,
controlling the control member makes the height of the first coupling position adjustable, and
the tilt of the second frame is changed in response to the height of the first coupling position, wherein
the first frame includes a plurality of engagement targets for engagement of the control member at the second coupling position,
the control member includes an engagement part, and
(i) rotation of the control member about a longitudinal axis of the control member in a first direction disengages the engagement part from one engagement target selected from the plurality of the engagement targets, and enables pivoting of the second frame relative to the first frame, and (ii) rotation of the control member about the longitudinal axis of the control member in a second direction opposite to the first direction engages the engagement part with another engagement target selected from the plurality of the engagement targets, and locks the second frame in position relative to the first frame.
