Description

The subject of the invention is an accessory for vehicles,

  composed by a notepad holder associated with a holder

  change. Especially people who use the vehicle for work want sheets of paper to take notes and money for.

pay the highway toll.

  We already know notepad holders and

  change for vehicles.

  The former generally have a small plan-

  rigid che, on which a notepad is fixed, and are usually fixed by a suction cup to an internal part

  of the passenger compartment of a vehicle, for example on the underside

  dull windshield. These accessories are generally not very aesthetic and moreover it is known that the means of

  suction cup fixings lose their pro-

adhesive properties.

  Wallets, fixed for example to the switchboard

  edge by a tape with double adhesive surface, allows

  attempt to introduce or extract a single currency to the

  times, and therefore their use is inconvenient.

  There are no known accessories having the two tasks, and such an accessory is the subject of this invention. This accessory includes:

  - a first parallelepiped body, with substantial plane

  partially rectangular, which is hollow and open towards

  front and down and which has a main face

  blade which forms a support plane for a notepad and is associated with means for retaining this block, this first body being provided with means for fitting it into an element for fixing the accessory to a part of the vehicle interior; - a second parallelepiped body, hollow and open upwards, the cavity of which must accommodate coins or the like, this second body being housed in the cavity of the first body and sliding in this cavity like a drawer between a retracted position and an extracted position ; - A third hollow body, which constitutes the fixing element, has a lower base of a shape complementary to the part of the passenger compartment to which it must be fixed, and comprises means for joining the first body and means for supporting the second body, in its position

reentry and during sliding.

  Other characteristics of the invention will emerge

  clearly from the description. which follows, referring to

  attached drawings, o: - Figure 1 shows the object of the invention accessory mounted on the object holder plane of a car and in a condition of non-use; - Figure 2 shows the invention with the cover of the

  open notepad holder and wallet in its pocket

  sition extracted; and - Figure 3 shows the invention broken down into its three parts, and with the covers of the notepad holder

and the wallet open.

  As can be seen in the drawings, the accessory object of the invention, indicated overall by 1, in FIG. 1, essentially consists of three parts: the notepad holder 2, the purse 3 and an element 4 for fixing to a part of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The block holder 2 is fitted onto the element 4 and delimits with the latter a

wallet seat 3.

  The three parts are advantageously made in

rigid plastic, by molding.

  The block holder 2 has a parallelepiped body

  hollow 5, open in its anterior and inferior parts

  and a cover 6, connected by pivots to the ends

  rear mites of the side faces of the body 5. The body 5 and the cover 6 are each made in one piece. The upper main face 7 of the body 5 serves as a support for a notepad 8. This is retained for example by a small square 9, fixed to the body 5 by a screw 10 which engages with a seat 11 produced in the face 7. Ribs 12 near this seat prevent 4,

block 8 to block seat 11.

  The upper face 7 body 5 has on one side one or more straddle elements 13 (two advantageously) for retaining a pen or pencil 14. This face is connected to the side walls 15 and to the rear wall 'of the body 5 by a step 16 which serves support for the cover 6 in the closed position thereof. The step 16 is also present in the front part

body 5.

  In addition, in correspondence with the lower edge, the side walls 15 have teeth 17, projecting

  outwards, for fitting the body 5 of the holder

block 2 on element 4.

  The cover 6 is also formed by a hollow body, open below and whose section through a plane

  parallel to the side walls 15 of the body 5 is a tra-

  pèze or a rectangle. The height of the neck cavity

  circle 6 will naturally be such as to allow the closing

  measure in the presence of the pen 14 and the block 8.

  This cover comprises, in its rear part, two fins 18 projecting downwards, which are superimposed on the rear part of the side walls of the body 5 and are provided with pivots 19 by which the cover 6 is connected to the body 5. In its part front cover

  6 has a tooth 20, associated with a spring (not shown

  presented) which engages with the edges of an opening 21 of the upper face 7 of the body 5, to keep the cover closed. A lever 22 clears the tooth 20

to open the cover.

  The cavity 23 of the body 5 gives seat to the purse 3, which is introduced into this cavity like a drawer

  and is formed by a substantially parallel hollow body

  the elepiped 24, open upwards, and by a pivoting cover 25, mounted near the rear part of the

  body 24. Also the body 24 and the cover 25 are

each in one piece.

  The body 24 has a front wall 26, the height of which is

  slightly larger than the thickness of the remaining part

  aunt from the body of the wallet 3 and substan-

  tially at the level of the cavity 23 of the block holder 2.

  Also the width of the wall 26 is slightly larger

  than that of body 24 and corresponds to the width of the em-

  closure of the cavity 23. In this way, when the purse is completely inserted into the cavity

  23, the wall 26 is aligned with the front edges of the walls.

  side kings 15 and with the front side of the step 16

of the body 5 of the block holder 2.

  A handle 27, integral with the wall 26, allows the ma-

purse work.

  The side walls 29 of the wallet body include

  each carry a longitudinal rib 30. These nerves

  vures are the only element of contact with the inner side

  dull walls 15 of cavity 23, and allow a sliding of the wallet with reduced friction. In the rear part of these walls there are openings 31 o the pivots 32 of the cover 25 penetrate. These pivots are made in one piece with the cover and project outwards from a body base

  cylindrical 33, tangent to the underside of the neck

  circle 25, which penetrate into the rear part 34a of

the wallet cavity 3.

  The base of the bodies 33 opposite to that provided with the pi-

  vots 32 comprises two projecting cylindrical elements 33a, coaxial with the bodies 33 and having reduced diameter, on each of which is placed a spiral spring 35 which allows the automatic opening of the cover 25 of the purse as and as the holder change

  is extracted from the cavity 23 of the block holder.

  A transverse partition 36 separates the seat 34a for the pivots and the spring from the front part 34b of the cavity to prevent coins from becoming embedded under the spring 35 or the bodies 33, where they would be

  obstacle when opening the cover.

  The front part of the cavity is further divided by a vertical partition 37 into two parts 34b, 34c one of which can accommodate metal coins and the other bank notes. Above the game

  34b, the cover 25 will include an element 46, e.g.

  example of sponge, to prevent the movement of coins.

  The fixing element 4 is formed by a hollow body with a substantially rectangular and open plane.

  to the top. The upper part has a corresponding shape

  corresponding to that of the lower part of the block holder 2 and dimensions slightly smaller than this part,

  so that the holder can fit into the case

  vi.té 38 of the element 4. The side walls 39 of this element comprise, in the upper part of their internal face, recesses 40 with which the

  teeth 17 of the side walls of the body 5 of the block holder.

  Vertical ribs 41 extend from the bottom of the

  cavity 38 up to the level of the hollows 40, and their end

  upper half serves as a support for the lower edge of the side walls of the block holder 2, when the latter is joined to the element 4. The front wall 42 of the element 4 has a height substantially equal to that of the ribs 41 and its upper edge delimits below the mouth of the

wallet seat 3.

  Four walls 43, parallel to the walls of the element

  4 and having the same height as the front wall 42 of this

  it protrude up from the bottom of the cavity 38.

  The upper edges of these walls form the sup-

port for wallet 3.

  The lower part of the fixing element 4 has a shape complementary to the part of the passenger compartment where the accessory must be fixed. In FIG. 1, it has been assumed that the accessory is to be fixed on an object plane 50, slightly inclined downwards and having a front edge 51

  substantially cylindrical. Hence, the underside

  element 4 has a transverse cylindrical hollow 45 whose radius corresponds to that of the edge 51, and the side walls 39, at least in their part between the hollow and the rear part of the body, have substantially the shape of a trapeze

  rectangle, to adapt to the inclination of the plane 50.

  Advantageously, the axis of the hollow 45 is offset towards the front part of the element 4 relative to the line

  central cross section of element 4.

  The fixing of element 4 to the object-carrying plane can

  simply be done using an adhesive tape

sif with double adhesive surface.

  Even element 4 is made in one piece.
