Description

  The present invention relates to an accessory case, and more particularly, to an accessory case that can be contracted and extended, can appropriately partition a storage space therein, and can be used as a bottle holder by being disposed in a vehicle interior.

  Conventionally, as an accessory case used in a vehicle interior, one having various forms and functions has been proposed. Among them, there are a large number of accessory cases that can be used particularly as bottle holders, such as a type that is provided in the vehicle interior in advance and a type that is provided later. Recently, the number of bottle holders set is one of the user's concerns and is becoming an indispensable item described in the vehicle sales catalog, increasing the number of cases that become large parts including each car setting space. Yes.

  As such a conventional bottle holder 201, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a bottle holder 201 integrally formed on the side portion of the seat cushion 203 of the passenger seat 202 can be cited. This type of drink holder 201 is made of hard resin, and includes a holder part 222 that can store two lower drink bottles 221 and 221 in an upright state and a lower half part thereof, and a substrate 223 that supports the holder part 222. Has been. One end of the substrate 223 is formed integrally with the seat cushion 203 so that the substrate 223 extends from the side portion of the seat cushion 203 in a substantially horizontal direction.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a hard resin bottle holder 301 formed integrally in advance on a center console 324 between a driver seat and a passenger seat is also known. The bottle holder 301 of this type has a box 308 having a lid 325 attached to the front of the upper end of the center console 324 so as to be opened and closed. Inside the box 308, drink bottles 321 and 321 are provided. Two holders 322 are arranged in an upright state, and a holder portion 322 capable of storing the lower half portion is configured.

  However, the conventional container holders such as the bottle holders 201 and 301 require a large setting space even when they are not in use, and the configuration is large and the manufacturing cost increases. There's a problem.

  The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has a simple structure, but can be used as a bottle holder or other accessory case at a low cost and is not likely to break, and is disposed in a desired space. The purpose is to provide an accessory case.

  In order to achieve the above object, the means used in the accessory case of the present invention are: a box having side plates on the left and right sides, a bottom on the bottom, and an opening on the top, and a plate for appropriately partitioning the inside of the box. In the state where the partition member is not provided, the box shrinks in the width direction so that the side plates overlap with each other, and extends in the width direction to extend the partition member between the left and right side plates. It is characterized in that a storage space is defined by handing over to. Preferably, the box is made of a flexible resin material.

  The partition member has a substrate and a partition plate hinged to each other, and the substrate constituting the partition member is fixed inside the box. Moreover, the partition plate which comprises a partition member equips an edge part with the engaging part, and the side plate has the to-be-engaged part which can engage an engaging part. As a result, the engagement portion formed at the end portion of the partition plate provided between the opposing side plates is changed to the engaged portion formed on the side plate on the side where the end portion of the partition plate abuts. By engaging, the storage space inside the box can be partitioned into a stable size.

  The accessory case of the present invention has a simplified structure, and the box can be formed at an inexpensive manufacturing cost, and is formed to be stretchable and foldable, so that it can accommodate small to somewhat larger items. It is possible.

  Since the box itself is flexible, there is no risk of breakage and it is safe and excellent in durability. Since this box can be folded, it can be installed in a relatively small space and can be arranged in a desired space.

  The accessory case of the present invention can partition the storage space inside the box appropriately by a partition member that can be manufactured at low cost, and can also store drink bottles etc. in an upright state, so it can also be used as a bottle holder. Is possible.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the accessory case 1 of the present embodiment is located below a seat cushion 3 constituting the passenger seat 2 in the passenger compartment, and is a space between the passenger seat 2 and the driver seat (not shown). The lower cover 4 is disposed on the side of the lower cover 4 and is used. The box 8 has a side wall 6 and a bottom (not shown), and has an opening 7 at the top. A storage space 5 for storing a desired article is defined by the side wall 6 and the bottom. Moreover, the accessory case 1 includes partition members 9 and 109 for appropriately partitioning the storage space 5 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 inside the box 8. Of course, the accessory case 1 is not limited to the passenger seat 2 and its seat cushion 3, but can be arranged on a required part of the interior wall or interior material such as a seat back, armrest, side trim, door trim, The installation location is not particularly limited.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the side wall 6 has a first side plate 6 a and a second side plate 6 b formed in a substantially flat shape that are respectively disposed on the left and right sides, and a substantially horizontal cross section disposed on the front and rear sides. It comprises a third side plate 6c and a fourth side plate 6d formed in a letter shape. The box 8 is made of a synthetic resin having flexibility, and contracts in the width direction so that the first side plate 6a and the second side plate 6b are superposed in a state where no partition member is provided.

  The left and right first side plates 6a and the second side plates 6b of the box 8 are formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape whose outer shapes are substantially congruent to each other, and are arranged in parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. Is done. The first side plate 6a has mounting holes 10 and 10 penetrating through the front and back of the plate surface at two positions that divide the height direction in the middle in the width direction of the plate surface into three equal parts. . The outer surface of the first side plate 6a abuts on the mounting target, screws 11 and 11 are inserted into the two mounting holes 10 and 10 of the first side plate 6a, respectively, and the screws 11 and 11 are screwed onto the mounting target. It is fixed and attached by doing.

  The second side plate 6b is formed at a center position in the height direction on the plate surface, and at two points that divide the width in the width direction into approximately three equal angles, penetrating the front and back of the second side plate 6b. It has hole-shaped engaged parts 12 and 12. The engaged portions 12 and 12 are for engaging a later-described engaging portion formed on the partition member 9 and stably partitioning the storage space 5 inside the box 8 by the partition member 9.

  The third side plate 6c and the fourth side plate 6d on the front and rear sides of the box 8 are substantially congruently formed in a substantially “<”-shaped plate shape, and their tops face each other. And facing each other with a predetermined interval. The third side plate 6c and the fourth side plate 6d are configured so that they can be compressed and deformed so that the plate surfaces formed in a substantially “<” shape are brought close to each other and folded in half.

  That is, the side wall 6 is formed such that one end of the third side plate 6c is continuously formed at one end of the first side plate 6a, and one end of the second side plate 6b is continuously formed at the other end of the third side plate 6c. Because one end of the fourth side plate 6d is formed continuously with the other end of the second side plate 6b, and the other end of the fourth side plate 6d is formed continuously with the other end of the first side plate 6a. The first side plate 6a and the second side plate 6b can be brought close to each other and superimposed while the third side plate 6c and the fourth side plate 6d are compressed and deformed.

  The bottom of the box 8 is formed in a flat plate shape that is substantially congruent with the planar shape of the side wall 6, and is formed integrally with the side wall 6 at the lower end of the side wall 6, and the first and second side plates 6 a and 6 b are formed. When folded so as to be in contact with each other, it is configured to be folded following these. An upper portion of the box 8 has an opening 7 that is opened in a shape almost congruent with the planar shape of the side wall 6 described above, and a desired article can be taken in and out of the opening 7.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the partition member 9 includes a substrate 13 and a partition plate 14 that are hinged to each other. The substrate 13 is made of a relatively hard synthetic resin and has a substantially flat plate shape. At approximately the center of the plate surface of the substrate 13, two insertion holes 15, 15 corresponding to the two attachment holes 10, 10 drilled in the first side plate 6 a constituting the box 8 extend over the front and back of the substrate 13. And penetrated. At both left and right ends of the substrate 13, there are connecting portions 16, 16 formed in a groove shape from the upper end to the lower end, and a substantially flat partition plate 14 is connected via the connecting portions 16, 16. The connecting portions 16 and 16 are integrally configured as an integral hinge, and the substrate 13 and the partition plate 14 can be swung with each other.

  The partition plate 14 is made of a relatively hard material synthetic resin and is formed in a substantially flat plate shape. The partition plate 14 extends in a trapezoidal shape at a substantially central portion in the height direction of the end opposite to the connecting portions 16 and 16. The protruding engagement portions 17 are formed. The engaging portions 17 and 17 are fitted into square hole-like engaged portions 12 and 12 formed in the second side plate 6 b constituting the box 8, and the partition plate 14 is attached to the first of the box 8. It is intended to extend stably between the side wall 6 and the second side wall 6.

  The partition plate 14 is hinged so as to be freely bent or straightened with respect to the substrate 13 through the connecting portions 16 and 16. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a board 13 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the first side plate 6 a forming the box 8 inside the box 8 with screws 11, 11 and connected to the board 13. The left and right partition plates 14 are bent perpendicularly to the substrate 13, and their engaging portions 17, 17 are engaged with the engaged portions 12, 12 of the second side plate 6 b. The internal storage space 5 can be defined in three small spaces 18, 19, 20. The defined small spaces 18, 19, and 20 are each configured such that the planar shape thereof is a substantially square shape.

  Thus, when the storage space 5 inside the box 8 is defined in three small spaces 18, 19, and 20, for example, the drink bottle 21 can be stably stored in an upright state. Of course, it is preferable that the drink bottle 21 is set in advance so that the planar shape thereof is an inscribed figure of the planar shape of the small spaces 18, 19, 20, so that a more stable storage state can be obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the partition member 9 does not require that the partition plates 14 be hinged on the left and right sides of the substrate 13, but the partition member 109 shown in FIG. The partition plate 114 may be attached to only one of them. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage space 5 inside the box 8 constituting the accessory case 1 is defined with a relatively small space 118 and a relatively small space 118. It can be partitioned into two spaces, a middle space 119 to be formed. In this way, when the interior of the storage space 5 is divided into two, for example, the small space 118 is used as a space for stably storing the drink bottle 21 in an upright state, and the middle space 119 is used as a container for storing other articles. Can be used.

  As described above, the accessory case of the present invention includes a box made of a flexible material having a storage space and a partition member made of a hard material that appropriately partitions the storage space. The present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention.
