1. 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 swingable upward and downward; and
a control member attached to the second frame in such a manner as to be tiltable backward and forward through a tilting shaft, wherein
the first frame includes a protruding pin,
the control member includes a guide part with a groove in which the pin is accommodated,
the groove includes a plurality of engagement parts to be engaged with the pin,
a locked state and an unlocked state are switchable to each other by causing the control member to make tilting motion, the locked state being a state where the pin is engaged with any of a plurality of the engagement parts, the unlocked state being a state where the pin is disengaged from the engagement part, and
the tilt of the second frame relative to the first frame is changed by engaging the pin with an arbitrary engagement part of a plurality of the engagement parts and changing a distance between the tilting shaft and the pin.
