Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle cup holder device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional vehicle cup holder device is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-109740).

The center console 1 is provided with a shift lever 2, and a recess 3 for accommodating small articles is provided in front of the shift lever 2. Further, the front side of the center console 1 is a rising portion 4, and on the surface of the rising portion 4 on the vehicle compartment (passenger compartment) R side, a small container 5, a cup holder device 6, and an ashtray 7 are arranged in this order from the top. It is equipped. The cup holder device 6 includes a storage portion 9 formed in the rising portion 4 with the opening 8 facing the vehicle compartment R side, and an upward U-shaped cross section stored in the storage portion 9 so as to be slidable back and forth. Holder base 10 and a base end portion 11 of the holder base 10.
It is mainly composed of a pair of left and right holder main bodies 11 which are attached so as to be opened to the right and left around the center a and to be rotatable. The peripheral edge of each base end portion 11a of each holder main body 11 has gear teeth meshed with each other, and each holder main body 11 is opened to the left and right sides at the same angle.
Further, a spring 12 for urging each holder body 11 outward is provided between the one holder body 11 and the holder base 10. As described above, since the base end portions 11a are in the meshed state, the urging force of the spring 12 extends to the other holder body 11 as well.

A front flange 13 is formed at the tip of the holder body 11 in consideration of appearance when not in use. That is, when not in use, the front flange 13 covers the opening 8 of the housing 9 when the holder body 11 is housed in the housing 9.

When the holder base 10 is pulled out toward the front passenger compartment R side during use, both holder bodies 11 expand to the left and right due to the urging force of the spring 12 to form a V shape when viewed from above. The receiving portion 14 at the tip of 11 is the storage portion 9
Are located on the outer sides of the openings 8. Then, a container C such as a can is placed on the receiving portion 14 and used as a cup holder. In that way, looking at each holder body 11 from above, V
The reason why it is expanded in a letter shape and an empty space is secured between both holder main bodies 11 is to avoid interference with the shift lever 2 and to enable use of the ashtray 7 directly below the cup holder device 6. This is because.

[0006]

However, in the conventional cup holder device 6 as described above, the holder body 11 must be extended to the left and right sides at the same time as it is pulled out to the use position, and the cup lever device 6 and the shift lever 2 cannot be opened. Since there is a risk of causing interference problems and the like, the structure of the gear toothed base end part 11a and the spring 12 for expanding the holder main body 11 to the left and right is inevitably inevitable, and the overall structure of the device itself is inevitably complicated. I have no choice.

Moreover, the holder base 1 of the holder body 11
Since the base end portion 11a, which is the base portion for 0, serves as a rotation fulcrum, the attachment strength of both holder main bodies 11 to the holder base 10 is low, and the holding of the container C may become unstable.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional technique, and provides a vehicle cup holder device having a simple structure and a high container holding rigidity.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle cup holder device according to the present invention includes a case fixed to a vehicle with an opening facing the passenger compartment, and a case inner part. A pair of left and right holder bases respectively provided in the case in a horizontally movable state from the storage position to the use position on the side of the case opening, and a side surface of the container at the use position that protrudes from the case opening toward the passenger compartment and at the outer end. A first curved edge that supports a part of each of the holder bases is integrally formed at a position separated from the inner end of the holder base at the opening-side end of each holder base; A second curved edge that is horizontally rotatably attached to a rotation fulcrum set on the first holder piece and that cooperates with the first curved edge to support the side surface of the container is formed at the inner end. From the opening The second holder piece, which is in a state of being expanded to the outside and which is vertically overlapped with the first holder piece inside the case opening at the storage position, and the holder base at the storage position are constantly urged toward the case opening side. It comprises a first urging means, and a locking means for blocking the horizontal movement of the holder base toward the case opening side with a stronger force than the first urging means and for releasing the blocking by the releasing means. It is a thing.

Here, the "vehicle" may be an automobile, a railway vehicle, a ship, an airplane or the like. The term "fixed to the vehicle" refers to the case where the vehicle is fixed to the vehicle itself (the vehicle body if it is a car), and the equipment (instrument panel, seat, etc.) assembled to the vehicle. When fixed, it means both. Also, "horizontal"
Does not mean that levelness is strictly required,
It is sufficient if the level is such that the container can be held without hindrance.
Furthermore, "container" means a broad concept including cans, bottles, cups, and other containers.

[0011]

According to the vehicle cup holder device of the present invention,
Since the first holder piece is integrally attached to each holder base at a position separated from the inner end of the holder base at the opening-side end of the holder base, the holder base is horizontally moved to the use position, The first holder piece has already been offset to the outer position where it cannot interfere with the shift lever or the like when the piece is projected toward the passenger compartment. In other words, even if both the left and right first holder pieces are projected toward the passenger compartment, an empty space corresponding to the separated length is always secured between the both first holder pieces. , It is not necessary to open the holder piece to the left and right sides and rotate it at the same time as when pulling out the holder piece to the use position as in the conventional case. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to provide the meshing mechanism by the gear teeth and the spring mechanism as an essential structure, and the structure is simplified.

Since the first holder piece or the holder base horizontally moved to the use position is provided with the second holder piece in a horizontally rotatable state, after the first holder piece is projected into the passenger compartment, , Open this second holder piece to the outside,
The side surface of the container can be supported by each curved edge of the holder piece and the second holder piece. It is preferable that the second holder piece automatically expands to the outside when the holder base is pulled out, but it is not always necessary to expand the second holder piece to the outside simultaneously with the drawing. Further, of the first and second holder pieces, the first holder piece is integrally fixed to the holder base, so that the attachment strength to the holder base is high and the container can be stably held.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, X is the left-right direction and Y is
Will be described as the front-back direction.

1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 15 denotes a case, which is not shown, but is horizontally mounted in the rising portion of the center console of the automobile as in the conventional example. A pair of left and right openings 16 is formed on the front surface of the case 15, and a flange 17 is formed around the opening 16 so as to project vertically and horizontally. The upper side of the case 15 has an open structure in which only the upper surface portion 18 is left on the front side and the left and right sides thereof, and the upper surface portion 18 is formed with symmetrical long guide holes 19. The elongated guide holes 19 are linear along the front-rear direction at the left and right outer positions of the upper surface portion 18, but are curved inward on the front side thereof. In addition, on the upper surface portion 18 of the case 15, the pin 2 is provided near the end of the front curved portion 20 of the elongated guide hole 19.
1 is projected.

At the center of the bottom surface of the case 15, a rack 22 having gear teeth at the left and right ends is attached. Further, behind the bottom surface portion, a hook body 23 is provided with its tip vertically raised. The central portion of the hook body 23 is sandwiched between the rear end portion 22a of the rack 22 and the protrusion 24, and the upper ends of both end portions arranged on the rubber base 25 provided on the bottom surface portion of the case 15 are provided. It is pressed down by a claw portion 26 integrally formed on the bottom surface portion. Further, a guide convex portion 27 is provided on the side surface of the case 15 along the front-rear direction (see FIG. 3).

The left and right openings 16 of the case 15
Inside, a holder base 29 with a first holder piece 28 and a second holder piece 30 are provided so as to be horizontally movable in the front-rear direction. Since the shapes and structures of the holder base 29 and the holder pieces 28, 30 provided in the left and right openings 16 are bilaterally symmetrical, only the left side structure will be described below as a representative.

At the center of the rear end of the holder base 29,
A winding roller 31 is provided. This winding roller 31
A rear end portion of the mainspring spring 32, which is a "first urging means" having a front end portion fixed to a front position of the upper surface portion 18, is connected to the rear end portion of the mainspring spring 32. It can be wound up from the club. Since the mainspring spring 32 has an elastic force that allows it to be wound, the holder base 29 is pushed into the back of the case 15,
When the mainspring spring 32 is extended, a forward biasing force resulting from the elastic restoring force of the mainspring spring 32 acts on the holder base 29.

A stopper 33 is formed on the outer side of the winding roller 31. The stopper 33 is surrounded by notches on the rear three sides.
The stopper 33 projects upward and is configured to abut and engage with the front end of the upper surface portion 18 of the case 15 when horizontally moving toward the opening 16.

On the lower surface of the holder base 29 further outside of the stopper 33, there is a heart cam 34 having a heart-shaped groove. The tip of the hook body 23 is inserted into the heart cam 34 when the holder base 29 is pushed inward. When the holder base 29 is first pushed in, the tip of the hook body 23 has a heart cam 34
After wrapping around from the rear end to the outside, it enters the pocket part corresponding to the bottom of the front V-shaped part. The state in which the tip is in this pocket portion is the locked state at the storage position, and the forward horizontal movement of the holder base 29 is restricted. Then, when the holder base 29 is pushed again, the tip of the hook body 23 comes out of the pocket, goes around the inside of the heart cam 34, then comes out from the rear end, and the locked state is released.

The reason why the tip of the hook body 23 wraps around the inside of the heart cam 34 only in such a fixed direction is that the engraving depth of the heart cam 34 is changed. That is, at the rear end of the heart cam 34, the outside is carved deeper than the inside, and in the front pocket, the inside part is deeper than the outside part. Also, heart cam 34
In the outer part, the depth is initially deeper but gradually becomes shallower toward the front side, and in the inner part, the vicinity of the first pocket is deeper but gradually becomes shallower toward the rear side. Therefore, when the front end of the hook body 23 tries to enter the heart cam 34 from the rear end portion, it always wraps around to the outside portion, and when it comes out of the pocket portion, it always wraps around to the inside portion. Therefore, when the holder base 29 is first pushed in, it is locked, and when it is pushed next, the locked state is released. In other words, the heart cam 34 and the tip of the hook body 23 that moves along the heart cam 34 constitute a so-called push-push type "locking device" that also serves as a releasing device.

As shown in FIG. 3, the inner portion of the holder base 29 is in a state of wrapping around downward, and the damper 35 is fixed to this portion. The damper 35 is provided around the periphery thereof with gear teeth that rotate with a constant resistance force slightly smaller than the biasing force of the mainspring 32, and these gear teeth are engaged with the gear teeth of the rack 22. ing.
Therefore, a certain resistance force is applied to the horizontal movement of the holder base 29 by the damper 35. On the other hand, on the outer side of the holder base 29, a concave portion 36 that slidably engages with the guide convex portion 27 of the case 15 is formed. Therefore, the holder base 29 has a storage position on the back side of the case 15 and a use position on the opening 16 side in a state where the recess 36 and the damper 35 are engaged with the corresponding guide protrusions 27 and the rack 22. The space between them can be moved back and forth horizontally.

The front side portion of the holder base 29 is lowered by one step, and the front end portion (opening side end portion) 37 is integrally provided with a first holder piece 28 projecting from the opening 16 toward the vehicle compartment R side in a use position. It is formed on. A first curved edge 38 that supports a part of the side surface of the container C is formed on the outside of the first holder piece 28. Further, the first holder piece 28 is formed at a position separated from the inner end portion 39 of the holder base 29 by a certain length D. Furthermore, on the upper surface of the first holder piece 28, near the rear end of the first curved edge 38,
A pin 40 as a "rotational fulcrum" is provided in a protruding manner.

On the other hand, the second holder piece 30 is horizontally rotatably attached to the pin 40. This second holder piece 3
The front end of 0 is provided with a front flange 41 for covering the opening 16 during storage and for pushing operation.
At the inner end of the second holder piece 30, a second curved edge 42 for supporting the side surface of the container C in cooperation with the first curved edge 38 is provided.
Are formed. In addition, the second of the second holder piece 30
A hole 43 into which the pin 40 is inserted is formed near the rear end of the curved edge 42, and the rear end is engaged with a guide long hole 19 formed in the upper surface 18 of the case 15. The guide pin 44 is projected.

The tip of the guide pin 44 protruding upward from the elongated guide hole 19 and the upper surface 1 of the case 15
A spring 45 as a "second biasing means" is applied between the pin 21 and the pin 21 protruding from the guide 8, and the guide pin 44 at the rear end of the second holder piece 30 is connected to the guide slot 1.
It always urges forward in position 9.

Further, a pair of left and right mounting pieces 46 with holes are provided on the lower surface of the front side portion of the holder base 29 which is one step lower.
Is formed downward. The base pin 48 of the bottom support piece 47 is rotatably inserted into the hole of the mounting piece 46. The bottom support piece 47 is tilted downward by its own weight at the position where the holder base 29 is used, and the horizontal receiving surface portion 49 at the front end can support the bottom surface of the container C. Since the second holder piece 30 spreads outward and holds the container C substantially outside the opening 16 of the case 15, the receiving surface 49 of the bottom support piece 47 is bent outward in an L shape. The corner portion 49a is set so as to be positioned at the center of the bottom portion of the container C that is just held.

Next, a method of using the cup holder device according to this embodiment will be described. When not in use, the holder base 29 is locked in the storage position inside the case 15, as shown in the right half of FIG. This locked state is maintained by the engagement of the heart cam 34 and the tip of the hook body 23. In this stored state, the guide pin 44 of the second holder piece 30 is located at the rear end of the guide elongated hole 19, and
The holder piece 30 itself is in a state of overlapping on the first holder piece 28.

When using, first of all, the second
The front flange 41 of the holder piece 30 is pushed. Then, the holder base 29 is slightly pushed into the back side of the case 15, so that the tip of the hook body 23 is disengaged from the pocket portion of the heart cam 34, and the locked state between the heart cam 34 and the tip of the hook body 23 is released. Then, the mainspring spring 32, which was forcibly stretched in the stored state, is wound around the take-up roller 31 in an attempt to return to the wound state, so that the holder base 29 exerts a biasing force due to the restoring force of the mainspring spring 32. Thus, it starts to move horizontally toward the opening 16 side. At this time, since the gear teeth of the damper 35 fixed to the holder base 29 mesh with the gear teeth of the rack 22, the strong restoring force of the mainspring 32 is appropriately reduced by the resistance force of the damper 35, and the front flange Even if the hand is released immediately after pressing 41, the holder base 29 itself slowly moves horizontally at a constant speed.

The horizontal movement of the holder base 29 to the front side is
The stopper 33 formed on the upper surface of the holder base 29 stops when it comes into contact with and engages with the front end of the upper surface portion 18 of the case 15. When the holder base 29 horizontally moves to the use position on the side of the opening 16 as described above, the first holder piece 28 is in a state of protruding toward the vehicle compartment R side and the bottom support piece 47.
Falls down to the optimum tilt angle due to its own weight. The bottom support piece 47 contacts the lower side of the opening 16 at an intermediate position, and further downward tilt is restricted.

Further, the second holder piece 30 is also the holder base 2
Along with the movement of 9 forward, it automatically expands outward. That is, the guide pin 4 of the second holder piece 30
Since 4 is engaged in the elongated guide hole 19 of the case 15, the guide pin 44 moves forward in the elongated guide hole 19 as the holder base 29 moves forward, and then the front side of the elongated guide hole 19 moves. Move inward along the curved portion 20.
The movement of the guide pin 44 is smoothly performed by the spring 45 spanned between the guide pin 44 and the pin 21. When the guide pin 44 moves to the extreme end of the front curved portion 20, the second holder piece 3 is rotated about the pin 40 serving as a pivot.
On the contrary, the main part of 0 is rotated to a position projecting outward from the opening 16. Even in the state where the second holder piece 30 is expanded outward, the outer end of the second holder piece 30 is pressed against the side end of the opening 16 by the urging force of the spring 45. To be prevented.

When the second holder piece 30 is rotated to the outermost position in this way, the second curved edge 42 of the second holder piece 30 and the first curved edge 38 of the first holder piece 28 are substantially circular. The container C is placed between the first curved edge 38 and the second curved edge 42 because they are opposed to each other in the state of forming
By placing the bottom portion on the receiving surface portion 49 of the bottom portion support piece 47, the container C can be held perfectly. In this embodiment, since the first holder piece 28 is integrally formed with the holder base 29, the attachment strength of the first holder piece 28 to the holder base 29 is very high, and as a result, the container C is stably held. Is possible.

As described above, even when the container C is held, the first holder piece 28 is formed at a position separated (offset) by the length D from the inner end portion 39 of the holder base 29. An empty space having a length corresponding to twice the length D is always formed between both first holder pieces 28, and there is no possibility of causing a problem of interference with the shift lever or the like. It is also possible to use an ashtray (not shown) that is usually provided in the. Therefore,
Unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to forcibly open the first holder piece 28 to the outside at the same time as it horizontally moves, and the structure becomes very simple.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, parts that are basically the same as those of the previous embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the first urging means by the mainspring 32 in the above embodiment is changed to a leaf spring 50 provided at the back of the case 15, and the second holder piece 30 is automatically opened to the outside. The structure (guide pin 44, guide elongated hole 19, spring 45) is omitted, and a cup holder device having a simple structure is provided with a mechanism for changing the expansion angle of the second holder piece 30.

That is, the recesses 36 are formed on both the left and right sides of the holder base 29, and the recesses 36 on the left and right are formed on the outer guide protrusion 27 and the central guide rail 51.
The holder base 29 can be moved back and forth in the state of being engaged with. A central portion of a leaf spring 50 having a bilaterally symmetrical shape is attached to the back of the case 15 in a state of being sandwiched between a main pin 52 at the center of the case 15 and left and right sub-pins 53, and in a stored state. The rear surface of the holder base 29 is pushed by both ends of the leaf spring 50.

Further, the first holder piece 28 and the holder base 2
A curved step-down portion 54 is formed at the base portion of the second holder piece 55, which is attached to the pin 40 as a rotation fulcrum formed at the center thereof. Has been. The outer side wall of the step-down portion 54 is formed one step deeper than the inner side wall, and a step portion 56 is formed at the boundary. Also, the step 56 is formed on the outer side wall.
Two protrusions 57a and 57b are formed at positions in the vicinity. On the other hand, one protrusion 58 corresponding to the protrusions 57a and 57b is formed at the side end of the base end portion of the second holder piece 55. Although not shown, the holder base 29
Stopper 33 and heart cam 34 formed on the upper surface 18 of the
The locking means by the hook body 23 is also provided as in the previous embodiment.

Next, a method of using the cup holder device according to this embodiment will be described. First, the front flange 41 of the second holder piece 55 locked in the storage position is pushed to release the locked state as in the previous embodiment. When the locked state is released, the holder base 29 is pressed by the urging force of the leaf spring 50.
Moves toward the opening 16 side, and the front surface flange 41 of the second holder piece 55 jumps out from the opening 16 toward the vehicle compartment R side by a certain amount. Therefore, after that, the front flange 41 is pulled out to the front side by hand, the first holder piece 28 is projected toward the vehicle compartment R side, and the bottom support piece 47 is tilted downward by its own weight. The bottom support piece 47 tilts downward and hits the lower side of the opening 16, whereby the backward movement of the holder base 29 is restricted.

The second holder piece 55 is not yet opened to the outside only by pulling out the holder base 29 toward the opening 16 side, and therefore the second holder piece 5 is manually opened.
Rotate 5 to the outside. When the second holder piece 55 is rotated outward, the projection 58 provided on the base end portion of the second holder piece 55 first comes into contact with the projection 57a on the outer side of the side wall of the step-down portion 54. , The second holder piece 55 is further rotated to get over the projection 57a, and the projection 58 on the second holder piece 55 side is inserted between the two projections 57a and 57b. The expansion angle of the second holder piece 55 to the outside at this time is exactly 250 in cooperation with the first holder piece 28.
The cc size can container C ₁ can be held. Then, in the case of holding the can container C ₂ of 350 cc size, the second holder piece 55 is further rotated outward, and the protrusion 58 at the base end thereof is inserted between the inner protrusion 57b and the step portion 56. The outward expansion angle of the second holder piece 55 at this time is exactly 350 in cooperation with the first holder piece 28.
It can hold a cc size can container C ₂ .

In the above description, a pair of holder bases 29 that can be moved separately to the left and right has been taken as an example. However, the left and right holder bases 29 are integrated left and right, and the opening side of the integrated holder base 29 is Left and right pair of first holder pieces 2 at the ends
8 may be provided in a state of being separated in the left-right direction.

In the above embodiment, the bottom support piece 47 is used.
Although an example in which the bottom supporting piece 47 is provided is shown, the first holder piece 28 and the second holder piece 28
It is possible to hold the holder piece 39 alone.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the case 15 and the holder base 29 which are straight in the horizontal direction are also shown as an example, but the whole shape of the case 15 is curved in the front-rear direction. Is also good.
