In the closed position where the opening 20 is closed, the pair of opening / closing members 24 are provided so that one end portions thereof face each other. (See FIG. 3). Further, the other end side of the opening / closing member 24 is pivotally supported by the storage member 22 by a pivotal support portion 26. As a result, the pair of opening / closing members 24 is in a closed position (see FIG. 3) for closing the opening 20 and an open position (see FIG. 1) in which the opening 20 of the storage member 22 is opened and rises from the opening 20. It can be turned.

  Further, first interlocking means 30 for interlocking the opening / closing operations of the pair of opening / closing members 24 are provided on both ends of the storage member 22 in the longitudinal direction (the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 10, hereinafter simply referred to as the longitudinal direction).

  Specifically, a fan-like plate member 32 is provided integrally with the opening / closing member 24A on the shaft support portion 26 of one opening / closing member 24A so as to be orthogonal to the rotational direction of the opening / closing member 24A. The plate member 32 is formed with a first rotation gear 34 that rotates along with the rotation operation when the one opening / closing member 24A is rotated along an arc centered on the shaft support portion 26. ing.

  Further, when the first rotation gear 34 is engaged with the first rotation gear 34 and rotated, the opening 20 of the storage member 22 moves in the opening direction (in this embodiment, the same direction as the vertical direction as an example). A first moving gear 36 is formed on the plate-like connecting member 40.

  Similarly, a fan-like plate member 42 is provided integrally with the opening / closing member 24B on the shaft support portion 26 of the other opening / closing member 24B so as to be orthogonal to the rotational direction of the opening / closing member 24B. Further, the plate member 42 is formed with a second rotation gear 44 that rotates along with the rotation operation when the other opening / closing member 24B is rotated along an arc centered on the shaft support portion 26. ing.

  Further, the second moving gear 46 that engages with the second rotating gear 44 and moves in the opening direction (vertical direction) when the second rotating gear 44 is rotated is connected to the connecting member similarly to the first moving gear 36. 40. That is, the first moving gear 36 and the second moving gear 46 are connected by the connecting member 40.

  The first moving gear 36 and the second moving gear 46 are formed on the inner surface (the surface facing the inner side in the longitudinal direction) of the plate-like connecting member 40.

  Further, a concave vertical groove 48 extending in the vertical direction is formed on the outer surface of the connecting member 40, and the vertical groove 48 is provided on the inner wall surface of the storage member 22 and is movable to the convex rail portion 52. It comes to fit. That is, the connecting member 40 is configured to be movable in the vertical direction with respect to the storage member 22.

  With the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8A, in the closed position of the opening / closing member 24, the first rotation gear 34 and the second rotation gear 44 are connected to the first movement gear 36 and the second movement gear 36, respectively. The movable gear 46 is engaged with the upper part in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 8 </ b> B and 8 </ b> C, for example, when one of the opening / closing members 24 </ b> A is rotated in the opening direction, the first rotation gear 34 is rotated. Thus, the first moving gear 36 engaged with the first rotating gear 34 moves upward in the vertical direction. As a result, the second moving gear 46 connected to the first moving gear 36 by the connecting member 40 also moves upward in the vertical direction. As the second moving gear 46 moves upward in the vertical direction, the second rotating gear 44 rotates and the other opening / closing member 24B rotates in the opening direction. Then, the pair of opening / closing members 24 moves to an open position where the opening 20 of the storage member 22 is opened and rises from the opening 20, and stops by hitting a stopper (not shown).

  Thus, by providing the first interlocking means 30, the opening and closing operations of the pair of opening and closing members 24 are interlocked. The first interlocking means 30 includes a first rotation gear 34, a first movement gear 36, a second rotation gear 44, a second movement gear 46, and a connecting member 40.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, a holding member 50 that holds a container such as a cup stored in the storage member 22 is provided so as to be sandwiched between connecting members 40 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction.

  The holding member 50 is formed with two circular holes 50A into which the cup is inserted side by side in the longitudinal direction. Further, a pressing member 53 that presses the cup inserted into the circular hole 50A to stabilize the posture of the cup and a biasing member 51 that biases the pressing member 53 toward the cup are provided in each circular hole 50A. (See FIGS. 11A and 11B).

  Further, when the opening / closing member 24 is moved to the closed position, the holding member 50 is moved to the storage position (see FIG. 9A) stored in the storage member 22, and the opening / closing member 24 is moved to the open position. When this is done, there is provided second interlocking means 54 for moving the holding member 50 from the opening 20 of the storage member 22 to a protruding position (see FIG. 9C) that at least partially protrudes to the outside.

Specifically, the second interlocking means 54 is provided on both ends of the holding member 50 in the longitudinal direction, is formed on outer wall surfaces provided at both ends of the holding member 50 in the longitudinal direction, and intersects the vertical direction. A long groove 56 extending in a direction (a direction orthogonal in the present embodiment) is provided. Further, a convex portion 58 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the center side of the long groove 56, and the long groove 56 is divided into a first long groove 56 </ b> A and a second long groove 56 </ b> B by the convex portion 58.

  Further, the plate member 32 of the one opening / closing member 24A is provided with a first engagement pin 60 which is disposed away from the shaft support portion 26 and slidably engages with the first long groove 56A. Similarly, the plate member 42 of the other opening / closing member 24B is provided with a second engagement pin 62 which is disposed away from the shaft support portion 26 and slidably engages with the second long groove 56B.

  Further, the inner surface of the connecting member 40 is provided with a concave portion 64 into which a convex portion 58 formed on the outer wall surface of the holding member 50 and extending in the vertical direction is fitted. That is, the holding member 50 is configured such that the movement direction of the holding member 50 is restricted to the vertical direction with respect to the connecting member 40. Further, as described above, the connecting member 40 is restricted in the movement direction in the vertical direction with respect to the storage member 22 by the vertical groove 48 and the rail portion 52 engaging with each other. In other words, the movement direction of the holding member 50 is restricted to the vertical direction with respect to the storage member 22.

  With the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9A, in the closed position of the opening and closing member 24, the holding member 50 is disposed at the storage position stored inside the storage member 22, and the first engagement. The pin 60 is engaged with the first long groove 56A, and the second engagement pin 62 is engaged with the second long groove 56B.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 9 </ b> B and 9 </ b> C, for example, when one opening / closing member 24 </ b> A is rotated in the opening direction, the other opening / closing member 24 </ b> B is also interlocked by the first interlocking means 30. And rotate in the opening direction.

  When the pair of opening and closing members 24 are rotated in the opening direction in conjunction with each other, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 are similarly moved in the vertical direction while being rotated. Then, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 move the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B vertically upward while sliding in the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B.

  Thus, by moving the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B upward in the vertical direction, the holding member 50 protrudes at least partially from the opening 20 of the storage member 22 to the outside (FIG. 4, FIG. (See FIG. 9C).

  As described above, the second interlocking means 54 includes the first engagement pin 60, the second engagement pin 62, the first long groove 56A, and the second long groove 56A.

  The outer shape of the connecting member 40 described above is determined so as to prevent the first interlocking means 30 and the second interlocking means 54 from being visually recognized from the outside. That is, when the opening / closing member 24 is moved between the open position and the closed position, the moving range in which the first interlocking unit 30 and the second interlocking unit 54 move and the moving range of the connecting member 40 are considered. The outer shape of the member 40 is determined.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, a torsion coil spring 66 (hereinafter simply referred to as a spring) as an example of an urging member in which one end 66A is attached to the side wall of the storage member 22 and the other end 66B is fixed to the connecting member 40. Is provided on one end side of the holding member 50 in the longitudinal direction. That is, the other end 66 </ b> B of the spring 66 is attached to the opening / closing member 24 through the first interlocking means 30 including the connecting member 40 as a component.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A, at the closed position of the opening / closing member 24, the other end 66B of the spring 66 is disposed vertically downward with respect to the one end 66A. Thereby, the connecting member 40 is urged downward in the vertical direction (see the arrow in FIG. 7A), and a moment in the closing direction is generated in the opening / closing member 24 via the first interlocking means 30.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7B, at a predetermined opening / closing position (hereinafter referred to as an intermediate position) between the closing position and the opening position of the opening / closing member 24, the spring 66 rotates and the spring 66 rotates. The other end 66B and the one end 66A are disposed at the same position in the vertical direction. As a result, the connecting member 40 is urged in the horizontal direction (see the arrow in FIG. 7B), so that a moment in the opening direction or the closing direction is not generated in the opening / closing member 24.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 7 </ b> B, and 7 </ b> C, when the pair of opening / closing members 24 are rotated from the intermediate position toward the open position, the spring 66 is rotated and the other end of the spring 66 is rotated. 66B is disposed vertically above one end 66A. As a result, the connecting member 40 is biased upward in the vertical direction (see the arrow in FIG. 7C), and a moment in the opening direction is generated in the opening / closing member 24 via the first interlocking means 30.

  As described above, when the opening / closing member 24 is moved in the opening direction from the intermediate position of the opening / closing member 24, a moment in the opening direction is generated in the opening / closing member 24 by the biasing force of the spring 66, and the opening / closing member 24 is moved from the intermediate position of the opening / closing member 24. When moved in the closing direction, a moment in the closing direction is generated in the opening / closing member 24 by the urging force of the spring 66.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, dampers 70 are provided that rotate and brake the opening / closing speed of the opening / closing member 24, and the dampers 70 are attached to the outer wall surfaces provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the holding member 50. A concave mounting portion 76 is formed.

  An engagement gear 70 </ b> A is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the damper 70, and an engaged gear 72 that engages with the engagement gear 70 </ b> A extends in the vertical direction and is formed on the inner surface of the connecting member 40.

(Action / Effect)
First, an operation of opening the pair of opening / closing members 24 arranged at the closed position will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, in the closed position of the opening / closing member 24, the opening / closing member 24 closes the opening 20 of the storage member 22, and the spring 66 is connected to the opening / closing member 24 via the first interlocking means 30. Is generating a moment in the closing direction (see FIG. 7A). That is, the opening / closing member 24 is biased in the closing direction. Further, the holding member 50 is housed inside the housing member 22.

  When using the cup holder 12, the user first holds, for example, one end of one opening / closing member 24 </ b> A and rotates the one opening / closing member 24 </ b> A in the opening direction against the urging force of the spring 66.

  When one of the opening / closing members 24A is rotated, as shown in FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C, the first rotation gear 34 is rotated about the shaft support portion 26, and accordingly, the first rotation gear 34 is rotated. The first moving gear 36 that engages with the one rotation gear 34 moves upward in the vertical direction. As a result, the second moving gear 46 connected to the first moving gear 36 by the connecting member 40 also moves upward in the vertical direction. That is, the connecting member 40 moves upward in the vertical direction.

  Then, as the second moving gear 46 moves upward in the vertical direction, the second rotating gear 44 engaged with the second moving gear 46 rotates, and the other opening / closing member 24B rotates in the opening direction. The open / close member 24 moves to an intermediate position (see FIGS. 2 and 5) in conjunction with each other.

  Further, when the connecting member 40 moves upward in the vertical direction, the engaged gear 72 formed in the connecting member 40 also moves upward in the vertical direction. And the damper 70 provided with the engaging gear 70A engaged with the to-be-engaged gear 72 rotates, and it brakes by rotating the opening-and-closing speed of the opening-and-closing member 24.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when the pair of opening and closing members 24 are rotated from the closed position to the intermediate position, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 are similarly rotated. Moves vertically upward while moving. Then, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 move the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B vertically upward while sliding in the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B. Then, by moving the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B upward in the vertical direction, the holding member 50 moves upward in the vertical direction.

  The amount of movement of the connecting member 40 in the vertical direction is such that the first rotation gear 34 and the second rotation gear 44 are closer to the shaft support portion 26 than the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62. Since it is arranged at a position, the holding member 50 is configured to be smaller than the amount of vertical movement of the holding member 50. That is, the connecting member 40 does not protrude above the holding member 50.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the pair of opening / closing members 24 reach the intermediate position, the spring 66 rotates and the other end 66B and the one end 66A of the spring 66 are arranged at the same position in the vertical direction. The Thereby, since the connecting member 40 is urged in the horizontal direction, a moment in the opening direction or the closing direction is not generated in the opening / closing member 24 (dead point).

  Furthermore, when moving the pair of opening / closing members 24 arranged at the intermediate position toward the opening position, the user holds, for example, one end of one opening / closing member 24A and rotates it in the opening direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the pair of opening / closing members 24 rotate from the intermediate position toward the open position. Thereby, the spring 66 rotates and the other end 66B of the spring 66 is disposed vertically above the one end 66A. Thereby, the connecting member 40 is urged upward in the vertical direction, a moment in the opening direction is generated in the pair of opening / closing members 24 via the first interlocking means 30, and the pair of opening / closing members 24 moves to the opening position.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, when the connecting member 40 moves upward in the vertical direction, the first moving gear 36 and the second moving gear 46 move upward in the vertical direction. As a result, the first rotation gear 34 and the second rotation gear 44 that engage with the first movement gear 36 and the second movement gear 46 rotate about the shaft support portion 26. Then, the pair of opening / closing members 24 moves from the intermediate position to the opening position (see FIGS. 1 and 4) that opens the opening 20 of the storage member 22 and rises from the opening 20, and hits a stopper (not shown). Stop.

  Further, as the connecting member 40 moves upward in the vertical direction, the engaged gear 72 formed in the connecting member 40 also moves upward in the vertical direction. And the damper 70 provided with the engaging gear 70A engaged with the to-be-engaged gear 72 rotates, and the opening-and-closing speed of the opening-and-closing member 24 is braked.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, when the pair of opening and closing members 24 is rotated from the intermediate position to the open position, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 are similarly rotated. Moves vertically upward while moving. Then, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 move the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B vertically upward while sliding in the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B. Then, by moving the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B vertically upward, the holding member 50 moves vertically upward, and the holding member 50 moves to the protruding position. As a result, the cup can be stored in the cup holder 12.

  In addition, when moving a pair of opening-and-closing member 24 from an open position to a closing position, the opening-and-closing member 24 moves from an opening position to a closing position by performing the reverse process of the process mentioned above.

  As described above, since the opening / closing member 24 rises from the opening 20 at the open position of the opening / closing member 24, the opening / closing member 24 that opens and closes the opening 20 of the storage member 22 is stored in the storage member 22. It is possible to prevent a container such as a cup from falling.

  Moreover, since the external shape of the connecting member 40 is determined so as to prevent the first interlocking means 30 and the second interlocking means 54 from being visually recognized from the outside, the appearance quality can be improved.

  When the opening / closing member 24 is moved to the open position, the second interlocking unit 54 causes the holding member 50 to protrude from the opening 20 of the storage member 22. Thereby, it can suppress effectively that containers, such as a cup accommodated in the storage member 22, fall down. That is, the upper part of the container can be supported at a higher position.

  Also, the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62, and the first long groove 56A and the second long groove 56B in which the first engagement pin 60 and the second engagement pin 62 are slidably engaged are provided. Thus, the holding member 50 can be moved to the storage position or the protruding position with a simple configuration.

  In addition, the spring 66 generates a moment in the opening direction or the closing direction in the opening / closing member 24, so that the opening / closing member 24 can be easily moved to the opening / closing position or the closing position.

  Further, since the damper 70 brakes the opening / closing speed of the opening / closing member 24 that is opened or closed by the urging force of the spring 66, the texture of the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 24 can be improved.

  Further, the amount of movement of the connecting member 40 in the vertical direction is smaller than the amount of movement of the holding member 50 in the vertical direction. Thereby, even if the holding member 50 moves to the protruding position, the connecting member 40 can be prevented from protruding from the holding member 50.

  Although the present invention has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. It is clear to the contractor. For example, in the above embodiment, the spring 66 is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the holding member 50, but may be provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated as an example the case where the opening direction of the opening part 20 of the storage member 22 became a perpendicular direction, it is not limited to this in particular, The opening direction of an opening part is a vertical direction. May be different.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the other end 66B of the spring 66 was attached to the opening / closing member 24 via the 1st interlocking means 30 and the holding member 50, it does not specifically limit but the other end of a spring is directly opened and closed. You may attach to a member.
