Moreover, the guide part with respect to the rod part 29 for opening / closing operation, and the axial support part with respect to the rotating shaft of the pinion 31 are provided in the space variable member 7b. That is, the opening / closing operation rod portion 29 and the pinion 31 are installed on the space variable member 7b side.

  The bifurcated branch portion 33 on the distal end side of the operation rod portion 19 is inserted and arranged so as to be movable in and out of the space variable member 7b from the opening on the rear end surface side in the protruding and storing direction. .

  The space variable member 7b and the bifurcated branch portion 33 are connected via a differential mechanism 34 for operating the variable flap device 9 first and projecting the space variable member 7b later. Has been.

  The differential mechanism 34 includes a slide shaft portion 35 extending substantially in the vertical direction, and a slide long hole 36 that supports the slide shaft portion 35 so as to be slidable in the projecting and storing direction. The slide shaft portion 35 protrudes in the vertical direction from the both end portions of the bifurcated branch portion 33, and the slide long holes 36 are both end portions of the bifurcated branch portion 33 on the upper and lower surfaces of the space variable member 7b. Are formed at portions corresponding to the upper and lower slide shaft portions 35 provided respectively. The slide long hole 36 is set to have a position and a length corresponding to the operating range of the opening / closing mechanism 13.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, when the space variable member 7b is stored and the variable flap device 9 is opened, the operation rod portion 19 is located on the farthest side, and the opening / closing operation rod portion 29 is closest to the front. By being located on the side, the worm wheel 17 meshes with the front side portion of the rack gear portion 18 formed on the operation rod portion 19, the slide shaft portion 35 is located at the far end of the slide long hole 36, and the pinion 31 Is engaged between the front side portion of the rack gear portion 32 and the back side portion of the rack gear portion 30, and the tip of the bifurcated branch portion 33 is maximally separated from the inner surface of the front wall of the space variable member 7 b. Is set.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, when the space variable member 7b is stored and the variable flap device 9 is closed, the operation rod portion 19 is positioned in the middle of the moving range, and the opening / closing operation rod portion 29 is By being located on the farthest side, the worm wheel 17 meshes with an intermediate portion of the rack gear portion 18 formed on the operation rod portion 19, and the slide shaft portion 35 is located at the front end portion of the slide long hole 36. 31 is engaged between the rear portion of the rack gear portion 32 and the front portion of the rack gear portion 30, and the tip of the bifurcated branch portion 33 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the front wall of the space variable member 7b. Is set to Although it is structurally possible to prevent the tip of the bifurcated branch portion 33 from coming into contact with the inner surface of the front wall of the space variable member 7b, in this case, the slide shaft portion 35 receives all loads. This is disadvantageous in terms of strength, and will be described as being abutted.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, when the space variable member 7b is in the protruding state and the variable flap device 9 is closed, the operating rod portion 19 is located on the most front side, and the opening / closing operating rod portion 29 is on the farthest side. By being positioned on the side, the worm wheel 17 meshes with the rear side portion of the rack gear portion 18 formed on the operation rod portion 19, the slide shaft portion 35 is located at the front end portion of the slide long hole 36, and the pinion 31 Is engaged between the rear portion of the rack gear portion 32 and the front portion of the rack gear portion 30, and the tip of the bifurcated branch portion 33 is in contact with the inner surface of the front wall of the space variable member 7b. Is set.

  The space variable member 7b is divided into two parts, an upper member and a lower member, so that the above-described variable flap device 9 and the opening / closing mechanism 13 can be assembled. It can be assembled and disassembled.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, 16, and 17, the space variable member 7 b can be slid in the projecting and storing direction while being accommodated in the slide guide case 43. It is attached to the drive mechanism accommodating portion 10. The slide guide case portion 43 has a substantially cover shape that covers the space variable member 7b from above so that the drive mechanism housing portion 10 is nail-fitted and screwed. Furthermore, the drive mechanism accommodating portion 10 has slide guide portions 44 and 45 for the space variable member 7b and the partition member 4 at positions corresponding to the lower portions on both sides. Between the space variable member 7b and the slide guide case 43, a return spring 46 for biasing the space variable member 7b toward the back side is interposed. The return spring 46 is locked to spring locking portions 47 and 48 provided on the space variable member 7b and the slide guide case portion 43, respectively.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  When accommodating multipurpose articles (mainly small items brought into the vehicle), as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition member 4 is accommodated to ensure a wide article accommodating space 2 ( Article accommodation form). At this time, the space variable members 7a and 7b are stored, and the variable flap device 9 is opened, so that the article storage space 2 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view with no irregularities.

  In order to use it as such an article accommodation form, the protruding storage mechanism is driven to automatically store the partition member 4 and the space variable member 7a. Similarly, the projecting storage mechanism 11 is driven to automatically store the space variable member 7b. Further, the opening / closing mechanism 13 is driven to automatically open the left and right flap pieces 8 of the variable flap device 9. Thereby, the front-end | tip part of the partition member 4, the front-end | tip part of the space variable member 7a, and the surface of the right and left flap piece 8 of the variable flap apparatus 9 will be in the state of the inner wall surface of the articles | goods accommodation space 2. .

  When the beverage container 6 is accommodated, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 and the like, the partition member 4 is protruded and the article accommodation space 2 is divided into two beverage container accommodation spaces 5. Alternatively, the beverage container housing space 5 is made to appear by partitioning the article housing space 2 with the protruding partition member 4 (beverage container housing form). At this time, the space variable members 7 a and 7 b and the variable flap device 9 are configured according to the beverage container 6.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the case of a relatively large beverage container 6, the space variable members 7 a and 7 b are not projected, and the variable flap device 9 is opened, so that the beverage container housing space is open. 5 is used in a form that is used in a substantially square shape in the largest plan view so as to fit a relatively large drink container 6 (large drink container accommodation form).

  Further, as shown on the right side of FIG. 8, in the case of a medium-sized beverage container 6, the space variable members 7 a and 7 b are not projected and only the variable flap device 9 is closed, and the beverage container storage space 5 is defined. It is used in a form that is slightly narrowed to fit the medium-sized beverage container 6 (medium-sized beverage container accommodation form). The left beverage container storage space 5 is kept in the large beverage container storage form.

  As shown on the right side of FIG. 9, in the case of a small beverage container 6, the space variable members 7 a and 7 b are projected, and the variable flap device 9 is closed, so that the beverage container housing space 5 is small. It is made the smallest form so as to fit the beverage container 6 (small beverage container accommodation form). The left beverage container storage space 5 is kept in the large beverage container storage form.

  In order to use it as such a beverage container accommodation form, first, the protruding storage mechanism is driven so that the partition member 4 automatically protrudes. Further, depending on the form, the projecting and storing mechanism 11 is driven to automatically store the space variable members 7a and 7b, or the opening and closing mechanism 13 is driven to automatically move the left and right flap pieces 8 of the variable flap device 9. Or close.

  That is, when the partition member 4 and the space variable member 7a are provided with a projecting and storing mechanism similar to the projecting and storing mechanism 11, the operation rod portion 19 of the projecting and storing mechanism 11, the partition member 4 and the space variable member 7a. Therefore, a drive device such as the motor 15 is driven, and the worm 16 and the worm wheel 17 attached to the output shaft of the motor 15 are driven. By transmitting the driving force to the rack gear portion 18 and moving the operation rod portion 19 in the protruding and storing direction, the partition member 4 and the space variable member 7a can be protruded and stored.

  Further, the space variable member 7b is provided with the protruding storage mechanism 11 and the opening / closing mechanism 13, and the differential mechanism 34 is provided between them, and thus operates as follows.

  That is, first, when the space variable member 7b is accommodated and the variable flap device 9 is opened, as shown in FIG. 10 (see also FIG. 13 and FIG. 16), the operation rod portion 19 is the deepest. The opening / closing operation rod portion 29 is located on the most front side.

  From this state, a driving device such as the motor 15 is driven to transmit the driving force to the rack gear portion 18 via the worm 16 and the worm wheel 17 attached to the output shaft of the motor 15, and the operation rod portion 19 protrudes. When moved in the direction, as shown in FIG. 11 (see also FIG. 14 together), the space variable member 7b does not move, and the slide shaft portion 35 moves to the near side along the slide long hole 36. Accordingly, only the operating rod portion 19 moves in the protruding direction with respect to the space variable member 7b. By this relative movement, the meshing position of the rack gear portion 32 and the rack gear portion 30 with respect to the pinion 31 moves, the opening / closing operation rod portion 29 moves to the back side, and the left and right flap pieces 8 of the variable flap device 9 move. The closing operation is performed. Then, when the slide shaft portion 35 reaches the front side end portion of the slide long hole 36 and the tip of the bifurcated branch portion 33 comes into contact with the inner surface of the front wall of the space variable member 7b, the operation rod portion 19 And the space variable member 7b cannot be moved relative to each other, and the closing operation of the variable flap device 9 is stopped.

  Thereafter, when the operating rod portion 19 is further moved in the projecting direction, as shown in FIG. 12 (see also FIGS. 15 and 17), the tip of the bifurcated branch portion 33 is located at the space variable member 7b. The space variable member 7b protrudes by pushing the inner surface of the front wall. At this time, the variable flap device 9 is held closed. Further, the protruding operation of the space variable member 7b is performed against the biasing force of the return spring 46 interposed between the space variable member 7b and the slide guide case 43.

  On the other hand, when the space variable member 7b is stored, the driving device such as the motor 15 is reversed. Then, in a procedure almost opposite to the above, the space variable member 7b is protruded as shown in FIG. 12, and the variable flap device 9 is closed, as shown in FIG. Then, the variable flap device 9 is closed, the space variable member 7b is accommodated, and the variable flap device 9 is returned to the open state as shown in FIG. The storing operation of the space variable member 7b is assisted by the urging force of the return spring 46 interposed between the space variable member 7b and the slide guide case 43.

  In this way, by inserting the return spring 46 between the space variable member 7b and the slide guide case portion 43, the variable flap device 9 can be reliably closed before the space variable member 7b protrudes. At the same time, the variable flap device 9 can be reliably opened after the space variable member 7b is stored.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the article storage device body 3 having the article accommodation space 2 is provided, and the partition member 4 that can project and accommodate is provided in the article accommodation space 2. Since the storage space 2 can be partitioned into two beverage container storage spaces 5, when the partition member 4 is stored, the product storage space 2 can be widened and used for storing multipurpose products. When the partition member 4 is protruded, the article storage space 2 can be partitioned into two beverage container storage spaces 5 and used to store the beverage containers 6. Therefore, it is possible to obtain multi-functionality of the container body 3.

  Moreover, while providing the storage container main body 3 which has the drink container accommodation space 5, the drink container accommodation space 5 is provided with the space variable members 7a and 7b which can be projected and accommodated with respect to the drink container accommodation space 5, and this space. By configuring the beverage container housing space 5 to be deformable into a form corresponding to the beverage container 6 by the variable members 7a and 7b, when the space variable members 7a and 7b are housed, the beverage container housing space 5 is enlarged. It becomes possible to correspond to the larger beverage container 6, and when the space variable members 7a and 7b are projected, the beverage container housing space 5 can be made smaller to correspond to the smaller beverage container 6. Thereby, it becomes possible to always make the drink container accommodation space 5 an appropriate size irrespective of the size of the drink container 6.

  And by providing the variable flap device 9 having the left and right flap pieces 8 that can be opened and closed at the front ends of the space variable members 7a and 7b, the left and right flap pieces 8 can be opened and closed to have various sizes and shapes. It is possible to just fit the beverage container 6. Such a variable flap apparatus 9 can obtain a remarkably high retainability unlike a conventional movable flap that does not deform itself.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the embodiments are only examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the embodiments. Needless to say, design changes and the like within a range not departing from the gist of the invention are included in the present invention. For example, when each embodiment includes a plurality of configurations, it goes without saying that possible combinations of these configurations are included. In addition, when a plurality of embodiments and modifications are shown, it is needless to say that possible combinations of configurations straddling these are included.
