Is urged to rotate in a direction to reduce the angle A formed by. The angle A does not become smaller than the predetermined angle because a part of the second support 32 and a part of the first support 31 come into contact with each other. Here, the predetermined angle is, for example, 90 ° or almost 90 ° (within 90 ° ± 20 °).

The light emitting member 60 is made of, for example, an LED, a light bulb, EL (electroluminescence, flat light emitter), or the like. However, the light emitting member 60 is not limited to these.
The light emitting member 60 is fixedly attached to the outer surface of the case 23. The light emitting member 60 is provided on the back side of the support 30. The light emitting member 60 is provided behind the support 30 in the stored / removed direction. The light from the light emitting member 60 enters the storage portion 21 through the light guide hole 23c.

Next, the operation of the stored item holding device for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
(A) When the stored item C is not stored in the storage part 21 The support 30 is located at the forward movement position 30a. As shown in FIG. 3, the first support 31 is located at the overhang position 31a. The second support 32 takes a posture of rising upward. The second support 32 is preferably stored in the side wall 21 a of the storage unit 21. The claw portion 32b cannot be caught by the catch portion 23b. The first cam portion 33 is in contact with the main body 20.

(B) When the stored item C is stored in the storage unit 21 When the stored item C is stored in the storage unit 21, the first support 31 at the extended position 31a is pushed down by the stored item C as shown in FIG. It is done. The second support 32 rotates with respect to the main body 20 together with the first support 31 while keeping the angle A constant by the urging force of the second spring 50.
After storing the stored item C in the storage unit 21 until the second support 32 hits the side surface of the stored item C, when the stored item C is further stored, the first support 31 is against the second support 32. It turns in the direction to increase the angle A. At this time, the first and second supports 31 and 32 try to rotate in the direction of decreasing the angle A by the urging force of the second spring 50, but are blocked by the stored item C. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the reaction force of the second spring 50 causes the pin 31c to move in the elongated hole 23a in the direction in which the support 30 moves from the advance position 30a to the retract position 30b.

(C) When the stored item C is stored in the storage unit 21 As shown in FIG. 6, the support 30 is positioned at the retracted position 30 b. The first support 31 supports the lower end of the side surface of the stored item C. The second support 32 supports a position above the position supported by the first support 31 on the side surface of the stored item C. The claw portion 32 b can be hooked on the hook portion 23 b of the main body 20. Since the claw portion 32b can be hooked on the catch portion 23b, even if the vehicle rolls and the stored item C is about to fall in the store portion 21, the stored item C is only stored until the claw portion 32b is hooked on the catch portion 23b. I can't fall down. The first cam portion 33 is separated from the main body 20.

(D) When the stored item C is removed from the storage unit 21 As shown in FIG. 7, as the stored item C comes out of the storage unit 21, the first support 31 rotates toward the protruding position 31a. Since the first support 31 rotates toward the overhang position 31a, the first cam portion 33 hits the main body 20, and the support 30 moves from the retreat position 30b toward the advance position 30a.
Since the support 30 moves toward the advance position 30a, the claw portion 32b cannot be caught by the catch portion 23b. Therefore, the support 30 can return to a state in which the stored item C is not stored in the storage unit 21 (the state (a)).

(E) When storing the large-diameter storage item C1 in the storage unit 21 to the extent that the side wall 21a of the storage unit 21 can directly support the side surface of the storage unit C When storing the large-diameter storage item C1 in the storage unit 21 The first support 31 at the overhang position 31a is pushed down by the large-diameter stored item C1. The second support 32 rotates with respect to the main body 20 together with the first support 31 while keeping the angle A constant by the urging force of the second spring 50.
After the large-diameter container C1 is stored in the storage unit 21 until the second support 32 comes into contact with the side surface of the large-diameter container C1, if the large-diameter container C1 is further stored, With the force, the support 30 moves from the forward movement position 30a to the backward movement position 30b. Since the support 30 moves to the retreat position 30b, the claw portion 32b can be hooked on the hook portion 23b of the main body 20.
Further, when the large-diameter storage item C1 is stored in the storage unit 21, the first support 31 is further pushed down by the large-diameter storage item C1 as shown in FIG. Hit. When the second cam portion 50 hits the main body 20, the support 30 moves from the retreat position 30b toward the advance position 30a.
Since the support 30 moves toward the advance position 30a, the claw portion 32b cannot be caught by the catch portion 23b. Therefore, when storing the large-diameter storage item C1, the large-diameter storage item C1 can be stored in the storage unit 21 without the claw portion 32b being caught by the catching portion 23b.
Since the large-diameter stored item C1 has a large diameter, the side surface of the large-diameter stored item C1 is supported by the side wall 21a of the storage unit 21 with no gap or a negligible gap. Therefore, even if the hook of the claw portion 32b is removed from the hook portion 23b, the large-diameter stored item C1 does not fall down in the storage portion 21.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the light emitting member 60 is arranged on the back side in the stored / removed direction from the support 30, the support 30 also functions as a shade. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the amount of light with the support 30 to create a high-class atmosphere.
Further, when the first support 31 is made of a light non-transmissive member, the light from the light emitting member 60 can be blocked by the first support 31. Therefore, the light that enters the storage unit 21 from the light emitting member 60 and is reflected by the bottom surface of the storage unit 21 comes out of the storage object holding device 10 (indirect illumination effect can be obtained). For this reason, it is possible to enhance the effect produced by the light.
Further, when the first support 31 is made of a light transmissive member, a part of the light from the light emitting member 60 can enter the first support 31 and cause the first support 31 to shine. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the effect of the light as compared with the case where the first support 31 does not shine. In addition, the position of the first support 31 is easy to see even at night, the operability of the stored item holding device 10 is increased, and the merchantability is improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the support 30 includes the first support 31 and the second support 32, the stored item C can be prevented from tilting in the storage unit 21 even when the vehicle rolls. In addition, since the first and second supports 31 and 32 support the side surface of the stored item C, the stored item can be supported regardless of the weight of the stored item C.
Since the second spring 50 is provided, when the first support 31 is pushed and rotated by the stored item C, the second support 32 is rotated together with the first support 31 with respect to the main body 20. Can do.

Since the claw portion 32b can be hooked on the catch portion 23b, even if the vehicle rolls and the stored item C is about to fall in the store portion 21, the stored item C is only stored until the claw portion 32b is hooked on the catch portion 23b. I can't fall down. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the stored item C from being inclined as compared with the case where the claw portion 32b is not provided.
The claw portion 32b can be caught on the main body 20 when the support 30 is located at the retreat position 30b, and cannot be caught on the main body 20 when the support 30 is located at the advance position 30a. By positioning the support 30 at the forward movement position 30 a when not stored, the second support 32 can be prevented from protruding into the storage unit 21 when the stored item C is not stored in the storage unit 21. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the second support 32 from interfering when storing the stored item C in the storage unit 21.
Since the first cam portion 33 is provided, the support 30 can be positioned at the forward movement position 30 a when the stored item C is not stored in the storage portion 21.
Since the second cam portion 34 is provided, the claw portion 32b is caught by the main body 20 and the second support 32 continues to protrude into the storage portion 21 when the large-diameter storage item C1 is stored in the storage portion 21. Can be prevented. Therefore, the second support 32 does not dent the side wall of the large-diameter storage item C1 when the large-diameter storage item C1 is stored in the storage unit 21.

  When the pivot axis P1 of the first support 31 is located above the pivot axis P2 of the second support 32, the pivot axis P1 of the first support 31 is the second support 32. Compared with the case where the rotary shaft core P2 is at the same position in the vertical direction, the point at which the first support 31 supports the stored item C can be moved upward.

Since the first and second springs 40 and 50 are provided, the first support 31 can be positioned at the extended position 30 a when the stored item C is not stored in the storage unit 21. Therefore, when the stored item C is stored, the first support 31 can be reliably pushed down by the stored item C.
Since the first and second springs 40 and 50 are provided, the first and second supports 31 can be simply inserted into the storage portion 21 without having to pull out the support to the side of the storage by hand. , 32 can support the stored item C at two points.
