The floor console box 1 according to the present embodiment is disposed on the indoor floor of the vehicle at an intermediate position between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat in the vehicle width direction, and is provided along the vehicle front-rear direction.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the floor console box 1 includes a console box body 2 formed of resin or the like, and a vehicle front portion 3 of the console box body 2 has a curved shape rising toward the front of the vehicle. A parking brake lever mounting portion (not shown) is provided in the middle portion.
[0012]
The rear portion 4 of the console box body 2 has a flat upper surface at a height one step lower than the front portion 3 of the vehicle, and is integrally provided continuously from a mounting portion of the parking brake lever. ing. One storage recess 5 used as a cup holder is provided in the front-rear intermediate portion of the vehicle rear portion 4, and the storage recess 5 is sufficient to store and hold a cup 6 such as a beverage can. It has a vertical dimension and a diameter, and is formed in a cylindrical shape having a bottom surface 5a.
Further, on the upper surface of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box main body 2 and on the front and rear sides of the storage concave portion 5, as shown in FIGS. Fitting recesses (or fitting holes) 7 and 8 are provided. These fitting recesses 7 and 8 extend along the vehicle width direction with recesses of a predetermined depth, are formed in an elongated arc shape in plan view, have the same shape and the same direction (in this embodiment, the vehicle (Rearward).
In addition, on the rear surface side of the vehicle rear portion 4, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a front vertical wall surface of a later-described movable component storage recess, a vertical wall surface 4a for receiving and supporting the lower end thereof, and a seat surface portion 9 are provided. Is formed. The seat surface portion 9 is formed by gradually and substantially notching a vertical intermediate portion of the vertical wall surface 4a of the vehicle rear portion 4 downward, and is a flat surface that is concave toward the vehicle front side.
[0013]
On the other hand, in the vehicle cup holder according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, one storage recess 10 formed separately from the console box main body 2 and used as a cup holder is integrally formed. Movable part 11 is provided. The movable part 11 is configured to be attachable to and removable from the vehicle rear part 4 of the console box body 2. For this reason, the storage recess 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the same bottom as the storage recess 5 of the console box main body 2 for storing and holding a cup 6 a such as another beverage can, and the storage recess of the console box main body 2. It is formed in such a size that it can be inserted into the recess 5 and stored and arranged.
[0014]
At the upper end of the movable component 11, a flange portion 12 is formed to cover the upper surface of the vehicle rear portion 4 located around the storage recess 5 when the console box main body 2 is stored in the storage recess 5. . A front side portion 13 is formed at a front portion of the flange portion 12 of the movable component 11 so as to extend downward when it is inserted into the fitting recesses 7 and 8 of the console box body 2. In addition, a rear side portion 14 which is a rear portion of the flange portion 12 of the movable component 11 and slightly forward from the rear end has a shape in which the rear side portion 14 shaped to be pinched when fitted into the fitting concave portion 8 of the console box body 2 is downward. It is formed to extend.
Further, the movable part 11 has the front vertical wall surface 10 a and the lower end portion 10 b of the storage recess 10 with the front side portion 13 fitted in the fitting recess 8, and the vertical wall surface 4 a of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box body 2. In addition, it is formed in a size and a shape to be brought into contact with and placed on the seat surface portion 9, thereby eliminating an unstable posture due to cantilever support.
[0015]
When using the vehicle cup holder according to the embodiment of the present invention, when storing one cup 6, the storage recess 10 of the movable part 11 is inserted into the storage recess 5 of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box body 2. Meanwhile, the front side portion 13 and the rear side portion 14 are fitted into the fitting concave portions 7 and 8 of the console box main body 2, and are housed and placed on the upper surface of the vehicle rear portion 4. In this state, if the cup 6 is put into the storage recess 10 of the movable component 11 and placed, the cup 6 is stored and held in the storage recess 10 of the movable component 11 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).
When storing the two cups 6 and 6a, the console box body 2 is pulled out of the fitting recesses 7 and 8 of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box body 2 while the front side portion 13 and the rear side portion 14 are pulled out. The storage recess 10 of the movable part 11 is removed from the storage recess 5 of the rear part 4 of the vehicle. Next, the front side portion 13 of the movable component 11 is fitted into the fitting recess 8 of the console box body 2, and the front vertical wall surface of the storage recess 10 of the movable component 11 is fitted into the vertical wall surface 4 a of the vehicle rear portion 4 and the seat surface 9. The lower end 10a and the lower end 10a are brought into contact with each other and placed and supported. In this state, the cup 6 is placed in the storage recess 5 of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box body 2 and placed, and the cup 6a is placed in the storage recess 10 of the movable component 11 and placed. 6 and 6a are stored and held in the storage recesses 5 and 10 of the console box main body 2 and the movable component 11 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
[0016]
In the vehicle cup holder according to the embodiment of the present invention, when one cup 6 is used, the storage recess 10 of the movable component 11 separate from the storage recess 5 of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box body 2 is provided. Since it is inserted and stored, it is only necessary to provide a space for one cup in the vehicle rear part 4 of the console box main body 2, and it is not necessary to use the large floor console box 1. Moreover, in the vehicle cup holder according to the present embodiment, when the two cups 6 and 6a are used, the housing recess 10 of the movable component 11 is removed from the housing recess 5 of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the console box body 2, and the console box Since the front side portion 13 of the movable part 11 is fitted and attached to the fitting recess 8 of the vehicle rear portion 4 of the main body 2, the two cups 6, 6a can be easily operated without providing a complicated structure. It can be stored and held in the storage recesses 5 and 10, which is very convenient.
