Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily put a beverage can in a holder by comprising a canned beverage holder body opened in the upper surface part and front surface part, doors provided on both side wall front parts of the canned beverage holder body through shafts, and energizing springs provided on the door insides. SOLUTION: Doors 2, 2' mounted on both side wall front parts of a beverage holder through shafts 3, 3' from the opened front part of the beverage holder are pushed by the surface of a beverage can to insert the beverage can. The doors 2, 2' are extended outward through the grooves of both the side wall surfaces against energizing springs 4 in inserting the beverage can. Since the energizing springs 4 are situated between the surfaces between the grooves of both the side wall surfaces and the front surface part of the door, the doors 2, 2' are returned to the original closed state by the action of the contracted springs 4 after the beverage can is put on the inside.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an openable beverage holder provided with an openable door on a front surface of a beverage holder in a passenger car or the like so that a beverage can can be easily inserted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With respect to conventional beverage holders, various ideas have been devised for the shaping and mounting method. The most common type of holder has two annular parts (rings) of a size and diameter that can support the upper and lower parts of the beverage can, respectively, and is installed on the mounting shaft in a foldable manner. By tilting the closed (stored) annular part forward, a drinking can is inserted from above the annular part and temporarily stored. The colors can be chosen to suit your preference, and some examples of mounting methods include double-sided tape on the bottom to allow installation on unstable curved surfaces such as dashboards. However, there were not many ideas to make it easy to put drink cans that had been swallowed or finished drinking while driving.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to improve a beverage holder so that a beverage can can be more easily put into the holder.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems Now, the structure will be described. (A) A can beverage holder main body (1) having a size capable of being fixed in a vehicle compartment and having an open upper surface and a front surface. ) And (b) the canned beverage holder body (1)
Doors (2) and (2) 'are provided at the front portions of both side walls via shafts (3) and (3)', respectively.
(2) An openable / closable beverage holder having a structure in which biasing springs (4) and (4) 'are provided inside.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 by way of example. The front surface of both side walls of a canned beverage holder main body (1) which can be fixed in a vehicle cabin. From the part, an opening is provided in the upper part of the side wall, and the doors (2) and (2) 'are attached via shafts (3) and (3)' provided in the front part of the side walls. The canned beverage holder main body (1) has two parallel grooves from the front of both side walls (there is a gap), and when viewed from the outside, the letter "E" or "E" is inverted when viewed from the side. This side is formed into a letter. On the other hand, the inside of the door part, which is not visible from the outside, is vacant, and a fitted shaft and a biasing spring are provided at one corner of the substantially triangular prism shape, and the entire door part is a side wall of the main body. Is formed so as to narrow the horizontal bar portion at the middle position of the "E" and to rotate with this portion as a limit. A beverage holder comprising such doors (2), (2) ', a shaft (3) and a biasing spring (4). When using the present invention,
A door (2) attached via a shaft (3) to the front of both side walls from the front of the beverage holder body (1) which has become an opening;
(2) Push 'on the surface of the can and insert the beverage can. When the beverage can is inserted, the doors (2) and (2) 'are pushed outward through grooves on both side walls against the biasing spring (4). In the doors (2) and (2) ', the biasing spring (4) is located between the surface between the grooves on both side walls and the front surface of the door.
The doors (2) and (2) 'return to the original closed state by the action of the spring (4) which is compressed after the beverage can has entered the inside.

[0006]

As a result, there is the convenience that the plug can be inserted from the front as compared with the conventional one which is inserted only from the upper part of the holder. In addition, when used during driving, if the action can be reduced in a short time, it can be said that there is a good effect in terms of safety.
