Description

  The present invention relates to an article suspending support device for suspending and supporting an article on a wall, and more particularly, to a plastic bottle holder for holding a beverage container on an inner wall of a passenger compartment of an automobile.

  Generally, an automobile vehicle is provided with a container holder or a drink holder that holds the bottom and sides of a beverage container such as a can that stores coffee drinks and other soft drinks.

  Conventionally, cans have been mainly used as beverage containers of this type, but so-called PET bottles have recently been used. Various types of PET bottles are used as PET bottles, and relatively tall or elongated PET bottles having an internal volume of 500 ml or the like are also used. With such a conventional bottle holder, there is a problem that the container falls or falls off while the automobile is running.

  In order to solve this problem, a container holder dedicated to PET bottles has recently been proposed. For example, in Patent Document 1, a plastic bottle is detachably held on various supports such as a headrest of a car seat, a car door, a car air conditioner outlet, a human body neck, or a bicycle handle. A plastic bottle holder is disclosed.

Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a plastic bottle holder that can hold the neck of the upper part of the plastic bottle by passing the lower part of the neck of the plastic bottle through a notch formed in a plate-like member for hooking the plastic bottle. . In the invention of Cited Document 2, the plate-like member can be stored in an opening formed on a side portion of the instrument panel or the door armrest portion when not in use.
Utility Model Registration No. 3066067 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-300891

  However, since the plastic bottle holder of Patent Document 1 is supported by the headrest, the door for an automobile, the air outlet of an automobile air conditioner, the neck of a human body, the handle for a bicycle, etc., the plastic bottle holder is always on the outside. The plastic bottle holder is exposed, particularly when the plastic bottle holder is not used, and there is a problem that the interior or interior design of the automobile is significantly impaired.

  In this regard, the plastic bottle holder of Patent Document 2 can store a plate-like member in an opening formed on the side of an instrument panel or a door armrest portion. Since the notch of the member and the opening are visible from the outside, there is still a problem that the interior of the automobile or the interior design of the automobile is significantly impaired.

  An object of the present invention is to solve such problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an article suspension support device that is housed and concealed in a wall when it is not in use and does not impair the indoor design.

  The present invention described in claim 1 has first and second side surfaces, an opening, a first space facing the first side surface, and a second surface facing the second side surface. In an article suspension support apparatus for hanging and supporting an article on a wall that divides the space, a predetermined rotation shaft is provided so as to be able to move between the first and second spaces through the opening. A rotating member that is pivotally attached to the wall as a center, and is provided on the rotating member. When the rotating member is in the first space, the rotating member is engaged with an article and the article is suspended from the wall. An engaging portion to be supported; and a decorative surface that is provided on the rotating member and is substantially flush with the first side surface of the wall and closes the opening when the rotating member is in the second space. A gist of the article suspension support device is provided.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In FIG. 1, the container holder 10 is attached to a wall that divides the first and second spaces 12 and 14, in this embodiment, a wall 50 that is arranged substantially vertically. The wall 50 is, for example, a part of a lining that surrounds a passenger compartment of the automobile, in which case the first space 12 is a passenger compartment of the automobile and the second space 14 is outside the passenger compartment, more specifically the lining. And the space between the car body. That is, the space in which the article is suspended is the first space, and the second space is the space on the opposite side of the outer surface 52 of the wall 50, and the first and second rotating members 20 as rotating members described later. , 30 is stored and concealed. The wall 50 has an outer surface 52 as a first side surface facing the cabin 12 as the first space, and an inner surface 54 as a second side surface opposite to the outer surface 52. An opening 56 penetrating from the inner surface 54 to the inner surface 54 is formed. The wall 50 may have an edge 56 a along the opening 56.

  The container holder 10 passes between the support member 40 attached to the inner surface 54 of the wall 50 so as to face the opening 56 and the opening 56 so that the container holder 10 can move between the first and second spaces 12 and 14. And a rotating member attached to the wall 50 via a support member 40 so as to be rotatable about a pin 60 as a rotating shaft. The rotating member includes first and second rotating members 20 and 30 that are rotatably connected to each other via a pin 62 as a sub rotating shaft. Thus, by forming the rotating member from the first and second rotating members 20 and 30, the pin 60 as the rotating shaft can be easily separated from the outer surface 52 of the wall 54 toward the inner surface 54 with a predetermined distance. The pin 60 can be hidden from view from the outside.

  The support member 40 includes a rectangular opening 42 disposed adjacent to the opening 56 of the wall 50, a pair of side walls 44 extending in the vertical direction with respect to the wall 50 from two vertical sides of the rectangular opening 42, and It has at least a back wall 46 that connects between the pair of side walls 44, and defines a storage space 49 for storing the first rotating member 20. Each of the side walls 44 is formed with a pin hole 44a through which the pin 60 fits in the horizontal direction and a guide groove 44b formed in an arc shape centering on the pin hole 44a. The support member 40 has mounting portions 48a and 48b provided above and below the opening 42. The mounting portions 48a and 48 include a fixing pin 58a, a boss 58b having a pin hole, and a boss. It is fixed to the inner surface 54 of the wall 50 by a fixing pin 58c fitted in the pin hole 58b.

  In the present embodiment, the pin 60 that pivotably connects the first rotating member 20 to the housing 40 forms a horizontal rotating shaft, and the first rotating member 20 is in the storage position (see FIG. 2) and a protruding position (see FIG. 1). A spring (not shown) as an urging means for urging the first rotating member 20 toward the protruding position, preferably a string spring, is disposed between the pin 60 and the first rotating member 20. ing. Furthermore, the pin 60 may include a damper (not shown) that cushions the rotation operation of the first rotating member 20.

  The first rotating member 20 has a main body member 22, an arm member 24, a pair of legs 26, and a pair of guide protrusions 28. The main body member 22 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. When the first rotating member 20 is in the projecting position, the main body member 22 is substantially flush with the wall 50 and closes the opening 56 and the side wall 44 of the housing 40. And a side surface 22b facing each other. The front surface 22a is preferably flush with the outer surface 52 of the wall 50 when the first rotating member 20 is in the protruding position. However, the front surface 22a does not necessarily need to be exactly flush with the outer surface 52. In relation to the border 56a, the wall 50 may be substantially flush with the wall 50 as long as the interior or design of the room defined by the wall 50 is not impaired.

  The arm member 24 is curved and extended so as to hang downward from the front surface 22a when the first rotating member 20 is in the protruding position, and a pin hole 24a into which the pin 62 is fitted is formed at the tip. ing. The pair of leg portions 26 are formed to extend downward from the lower end of the main body member 22 in parallel to the side surface 22b when the first rotating member 20 is in the protruding position, and receive the pin 62 at the tip end portion. For this purpose, a pin hole 26a is formed. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the pin hole 26 a is formed in a boss protruding in the horizontal direction from the side surface of the leg portion 26. The pair of guide protrusions 28 protrudes in the horizontal direction from the side surface 22 b and fits slidably into guide grooves 44 b formed in the side wall 44 when the first rotating member 20 is attached to the housing 40. It will be understood that the guide protrusion 28 stops at the retracted position and the protruding position of the first rotating member 20 by contacting each end of the guide groove 44b. A locking pin 64 for fixing the first rotating member 20 to the storage position is attached to the housing 40.

  The second rotating member 30 includes a main body member 32 that is rotatably connected to the tip of the arm member 24 of the first rotating member 20, and a cover 36 that is attached to the main body member 32. The main body member 32 has a pair of side walls 32a disposed substantially perpendicular to the wall 50 and a back wall 32b connecting the side walls 32a to each other, and is formed in a substantially U shape. Each has a pin hole 32 c for receiving the pin 62. Furthermore, the pin 60 may include a damper (not shown) that cushions the rotation operation of the first rotating member 20.

  At a portion adjacent to the lower end of the main body member 32, a substantially U-shaped engaging portion 34 that engages with the diameter portion 102 of the PET bottle 100 protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the main body member 32 and on the inner peripheral surface. It extends along. The cover 36 is attached to the outer surface of the back wall 32c of the main body member 32, and the first and second rotating members 20 and 30 as rotating members are accommodated in the second space 14, more specifically, the housing 40. When arranged in the space 49, it has a decorative surface 26 a that is substantially flush with the wall 50 and closes the opening 56. As with the front surface 22a, the decorative surface 26a is preferably flush with the outer surface 52 of the wall 50 when the rotating member is disposed in the storage space 49 of the housing 40, but is not necessarily flush with the outer surface 52. It does not need to be, and in relation to the design of the outer surface 52 and the edge 56a, it is only necessary to be substantially flush with the wall 50 as long as the interior or design of the room defined by the wall 50 is not impaired. Further, the decorative surface 26a may be formed directly on the main body member 32, more specifically on the back wall 32c, instead of being formed on the cover 26.

Hereinafter, the operation of the container holder 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
While the container holder 10 is not used, that is, when the container holder 10 is in the non-operating position, the first and second rotating members 20 and 30 as the rotating members are, as shown in FIG. More specifically, it is disposed in the storage space 49 of the support member 40. At this time, the first rotating member 20 is in the storage position, and the second rotating member 30 is in the bent position with respect to the first rotating member 20. In this manner, the rotating member is formed by the first and second rotating members 20 and 30 and is connected so as to be relatively rotatable, so that the rotating member is disposed when the rotating member is disposed in the second space 14. It is possible to reduce the volume of the storage space 49 for storage.

  When using the container holder 10, first, the user presses the decorative surface 36 of the second rotating member 30 toward the second space 14 with his / her finger to engage with the first rotating member 20. The engagement with the stop pin 64 is released. As a result, the first rotating member 20 rotates and moves with the second rotating member 30 from the storage position to the protruding position by the biasing force of the spring. During this time, the guide protrusion 28 moves along the guide groove 44b to guide the rotation operation of the first rotating member 20. Further, when the pin 60 includes a damper, the rotating operation of the rotating member 20 urged by the spring as the urging means becomes slow, and a high-class feeling can be produced in the operation of the rotating member. Thus, the first and second rotating members 20 and 30 as rotating members pass through the opening 56 of the wall 50 and move from the second space 14 (the storage space 49) to the first space 12.

  When the first rotating member 20 moves to the protruding position, the second rotating member 30 rotates about the pin 62 by gravity and moves to the deployed position indicated by the solid line in FIG. When the second rotating member 30 moves to the extended position, the neck portion 102 of the plastic bottle 100 can be hooked on the engaging portion 34 and suspended, and the container holder 10 occupies the operating position. Thus, the plastic bottle 100 is supported by being suspended from the wall 50 via the first and second rotating members 20 and 30 as the rotating members and the housing 40.

  When the rotating member is stored, first, the user operates the second rotating member 30 with his / her finger so that the first rotating member 20 in the protruding position is indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The second rotating member 30 in the bent position is further pressed toward the opening 56 together with the first rotating member 20 against the biasing force of the spring as the biasing means. . Accordingly, the first and second rotating members 20 and 30 as rotating members pass through the opening 56 and move from the first space 12 to the second space 14. At this time, the decorative surface 36 is substantially flush with the first side surface of the wall 50 and closes the opening 56.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described by taking a container holder that suspends and supports a plastic bottle on an automobile lining as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an umbrella instead of a plastic bottle is used as a building entrance. You may make it suspend and support on a wall surface. In this case, the engaging part 34 can be formed in a shape suitable for suspending the umbrella according to the shape of the handle of the umbrella to be suspended, for example, a hook shape.

  As described above, when the present invention is applied to a building wall rather than an automobile, the building wall is formed to be much thicker than the lining of the automobile. It is preferable to embed a portion adjacent to the opening 42 in the wall. Even in this case, the position of the pin 60 as the rotation axis is arranged at a position away from the outer surface facing the entrance on the wall of the building by a predetermined distance toward the inner surface, so that the rotation axis can be seen from the room such as the entrance. It is preferable not to do so. Moreover, the wall 50 may be a wall arranged horizontally such as a ceiling instead of vertical. The second space 14 may be formed by, for example, forming a hole or space having a required volume in a pillar, since the storage space for the rotating members 20 and 30 only needs to be formed.
