Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for drinking water, such as a can, a cup, a paper pack, or the like (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as "cups"). The present invention relates to a vehicle cup holder for storing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of cup holders for vehicles are provided, but for luxury cars and the like, folding and drawer types that emphasize appearance and space are used. Among them, the present invention is directed to a drawer type exemplified in JP-A-9-48273 and JP-A-8-192669.

FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b) show Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-192.
No. 669 is shown in a storage mode and a usage mode. The cup holder includes a case 50 having an opening 50a on the front surface, a holder 51 which is placed in the case 50 and is switched between a storage mode shown in FIG. A tray 52 for receiving the lower surface of the cups k. Case 50
Is a container in which the holder 51 is placed, for example,
It is integrally attached to the instrument panel side in the vehicle interior. The holder 51 is located on the front side of the operation unit 51a on the front surface, and has a holding hole 51b for inserting the cups k and restraining the periphery. The rear end of the tray 52 is rotatably supported by the holder 51 and is accommodated in the case 50 in conjunction with the holder 51. In addition, the tray 52 hangs down from the holder 51 with the rear end as a fulcrum in a use mode and has a holding hole 51b.
The lower surface of the cups k inserted in is received. That is, in this structure, when the large and small cups k2 and k1 are inserted into the holding holes 51b of the holder 51 from above, the mounting portion 52a of the tray 52 hung directly below the holder 51.
And the upper part is restrained by the inner peripheral surface of the holding hole 51b, thereby preventing falling. For this reason, the cups k are smaller than the inner diameter of the holding hole 51b and the tray 52
If it is of a size that can be received by the mounting portion 52a, it is temporarily held.

[0004]

In the above-described conventional cup holder, the cups k are received by the mounting portion 52a of the tray 52 which can be hung down from the holder 51. Therefore, in order to receive the cups k more stably. It is preferable to secure a large width dimension L0 of the mounting portion 52a so as to use a plate material rather than a wire material. From that perspective,
Conventionally, the tray 52 is formed of a plate material, and the mounting portion 52a is provided on the tip side of the support arm portion 52b. By providing a large opening or notch 52c in the support arm 52b, the cups k placed on the mounting portion 52a
To ensure a stable lap fee for

However, in the conventional cup holder, the tray 52 is always moved in conjunction with the holder 51 and hangs down from the holder 51 in the process of being inserted into or pulled out of the case 50. In addition to being able to fit within the inside of the case 51 with a margin, the entire mounting portion 52 a is configured to be housed in the case 50. Therefore, in the conventional structure, the height of the case 50 must be ensured in proportion to the plate width of the mounting portion 52, and it is difficult to reduce the size. Further, since the tray 52 is directly pivotally supported by the holder 51, for example, in the storage mode, the mounting portion 52 is moved outside the case 50 or the operation portion 5.
It is impossible to fit within 1a, and the degree of freedom in design is lacking.

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problem. An object of the present invention is to provide a cup holder for a vehicle that can hold large and small cups more stably while suppressing the overall thickness, and that is more compact and has more freedom in design. Other objects will be clarified with the following description.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, as illustrated in the drawings, comprises a case 1 having a front opening 1a, a storage mode to be accommodated in the case 1, and a case 1 drawn out of the case front opening 1a. And a holder 2 forming a holding hole H for inserting cups and constraining the surroundings, and hanging from the holder 2 in the process of being housed in the case 1 together with the holder 2 and being pulled out. And a tray 4 for receiving the lower surface of the cups, the holder 2 is slidably moved back and forth, and a stopper 6 for restricting a movement range of the tray 4 is provided. A relief groove 28 that can be moved independently without the use of an operating section 20 at the tip and a storage section 2 provided in the operating section 20
2b, the tray 4 includes a plate-shaped mounting portion 41 which is put in and out of the storage portion 22b, and a support portion 42 provided on the rear side of the mounting portion 41. It is rotatably connected to the stopper 6 and is loosely fitted in the clearance groove 28 via a shaft portion 48. In the use mode, the holder 2 receives the locking operation of the stopper 6 from the middle of being pulled out. Leaving the tray 4,
When the storage mode is set, the holder 2 is pushed alone by the clearance groove 28 and then pushed together with the tray 4 when the storage mode is set.

According to the above structure, when the holder 2 is pulled out to the use mode, when the holder 2 is pulled out with the tray 4 a little before the use mode, the stopper 6 is pulled out.
Engages with the corresponding portion of the case 1 to prevent the tray 4 from moving,
Only the holder 2 is pulled out alone. The independent movement of the holder 2 corresponds to the length of the escape groove 28, and the shaft 4 of the tray 4
8 is performed while escaping in the escape groove 28. In the usage mode, the shaft portion 48 is fitted to the rear end of the escape groove 28, the tray 4 hangs down from the holder 2 via a connection portion with the stopper 6, and the cups inserted from the holding hole H of the holder 2. Take it. Also, if it is pushed into the storage mode,
In the initial stage, the holder 2 is moved rearward alone while escaping the shaft portion 48 by the escape groove 28, and is pushed in with the tray 4 from the time when the front end of the escape groove 28 is fitted to the shaft portion 48. In this case, the tray 4 is
However, the relative position with respect to the holder 2 in the use mode is changed by the single movement of the holder 2,
Is stored in the holder storage section 22b. Therefore, in this structure, in the storage mode, the mounting section 41 can be stored in the storage section 22b of the holder operation section 20. As a result, it is difficult to secure the mounting portion 41 widely without increasing the height of the case as in the related art, and it is difficult to restrict the relative position with respect to the case 1 and the like. This makes the present invention particularly suitable for applications where the overall thickness is to be reduced, for example, for instrument panels where more equipment is to be installed, and at the same time, the following developments or advantages are easily realized. Is done.

First, the stopper 6 is attached to the holder 2
Claw 63 that regulates the forward movement of the tray 4 while pulling the tray 4 forward from the use mode together with the tray 4, and the second claw that regulates the backward movement of the tray 4 in the initial stage of pushing the holder 2 out of the use mode And a portion 64. In this structure, when the holder 2 is pulled out to the front alone, the first claw 63 brings the tray 4 together, and when the holder 2 is pushed alone to the rear, the second claw 64 brings the tray 4 together. In any case, it can be surely prevented. Second, the stopper 6 is held by a support piece 24 protruding from the holder 2, and the first claw 63
Is disengaged from the rear end locking portion 17a of the case lower surface 11, and the second claw portion 64 is engaged with the locking concave portion 17b provided in front of the rear end locking portion 17a. It is a configuration that is released by using. In this structure, the locking portions 17a and the locking recesses 17b on the case 1 side corresponding to the first claw portions 63 and the second claw portions 64 can be easily formed, and at the same time, the second claw portions 64 can be formed.
The simplification associated with the use of the disengagement component by the support piece 24 is also realized. Since the engagement of the second claw portion 64 is released via the support piece 24 associated with the rearward movement of the holder 2, that is, the pushing movement when the holder 2 is in the storage state, the operability is also excellent. Third, the holder 2 is provided with a hole 21 having a side opening.
And the hole 35 of the ring member 3 to form the holding hole H. The ring member 3 is swung in the horizontal direction in conjunction with the switching between the use mode and the storage mode, and the hole of the ring member 3 is formed. The configuration is such that the portion 35 protrudes and retracts from the hole 21 of the holder 2. In this case, for example, when two holding holes H are formed, the plate width of the holder 2 can be reduced as in the embodiment,
The compactness of the product of the present invention described above can be realized including the entire width direction.

A shaft (not shown) is provided integrally with the shaft 6 in an intersecting state. The rib 47 is provided so as to be in contact with the corresponding guide rib 25 described above.

(Tray Assembly Procedure and Operation) The tray 4 described above is assembled from a state where the ring member 3 is assembled to the holder 2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the shafts 48 on both sides of the tray 4 are fitted into the corresponding clearance grooves 28, and the connecting pieces 46 on both sides are positioned inside both the mounting pieces 65 of the stopper 6, and the connecting pieces 46 Are fitted into the corresponding lateral holes of the mounting piece 65. At this time, both connecting pieces 46
The spring 9 is arranged by utilizing a shaft portion protruding inside the horn. The spring 9 urges the tray 4 in a direction away from the holder 21 with one end abutting on the tray 4 side and the other end abutting on the holder 2 side. In this structure, the ring member 3 and the tray 4 are assembled to the holder 2 in the manner described above, and then the case 1
Will be incorporated. At this time, from the state where the ring member 3 is in the use position, the pin 33 projecting from the upper surface of the holder 1 is passed through the concave groove portion 13d of FIG. 1
7, the rear side of the holder 2 projects from the rear end of the case 1 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the above-described locking member 7 is attached to the mounting portion 2.
When the holder 1 is assembled, the holding state of the holder 1 is maintained by the locking member 7, and the careless withdrawal from the case 1 is restricted, and the looseness is absorbed. Further, in this structure, when the holder 2 is pulled out to the front (2 cm) of the use mode (the pin 33 reaches the inclined groove 13b from the straight groove 13a), the above-described locking member 7 is connected to the opposite side surface 12 of the case 1. Is elastically passed over a tapered projection (not shown) provided inside (a portion that can be seen from the mold release hole 14b), and can be switched to a final use mode while generating a click feeling.

Therefore, in the above cup holder,
First, in the storage mode of the holder 2, the stopper 6 is in the non-locked state, the shaft portion 48 of the tray 4 is fitted to the front end of the escape groove 28 of the holder 2, and the mounting portion 41 of the tray 4 is It is housed in the storage section 22b. Then, when the holder 2 is pulled out to the use mode with the tray 4, the stopper 6 is engaged with the corresponding portion of the case 1 to prevent the tray 4 from moving when the holder 4 is pulled out to a position slightly before the use mode, and only the holder 2 is moved. Pulled out alone. Holder 2
Corresponds to the length of the escape groove 28, and is performed while the shaft portion 48 of the tray 4 escapes through the escape groove 28. In the usage mode, the shaft portion 48 is fitted to the rear end of the escape groove 28, and the tray 4 hangs down from the holder 4 via the connection portion with the stopper 6 and is inserted from the holding hole H of the holder 2. Take cups. Note that the tray 4 is restricted from being accidentally moved forward by the engagement state of the stopper 6. When the holder 2 is pushed into the storage mode, the holder 2 is independently moved backward while escaping the shaft portion 48 in the escape groove 28 in the initial stage, and the tray 4 is moved from the time when the front end of the escape groove 28 is fitted to the shaft portion 48. It is pushed in with it. In this case, the tray 4 enters the case 1 together with the holder 2, but the relative position of the tray 4 in the use mode is changed by the single movement of the holder 2.
That is, the operation unit 20 of the holder 2 approaches the mounting unit 41, and the mounting unit 41 is moved to the storage portion 22 b of the holder operation unit 20.
To be stowable. Therefore, in this structure, since the tray 4 is relatively moved with respect to the holder 2 by the dimension L of the clearance groove 28, in the storage mode, the tray 41 is placed in the storage portion 22 b of the distal end operation portion 20 of the holder 2. It is possible to store the whole (or part). This is because the holding portion 41 of the tray 4 is moved to the case 1 in the storage mode while the holding action of the tray 4 (the positional relationship with the holding hole H in the usage mode, the lower distance from the holder 2 and the like) is normally maintained.
As a result of being able to be disposed outside, it means that the mounting portion 41 is widely secured without increasing the height of the case as in the related art, and that the relative position with respect to the case 1 is hardly regulated. I do.

[0022]

As described above, in the vehicular cup holder according to the present invention, the tray is moved relative to the holder by the size of the clearance groove. The whole or a part of the mounting portion is stored in the storing portion, that is, the tray mounting portion can be arranged outside the case in the storing mode while maintaining the tray holding function normally. Without increasing the size of the tray, it is difficult to secure a wide tray mounting portion, and the length and the like are not easily regulated.
