Of an instrument panel 30 of the vehicle or a member attached to the instrument panel 30, a second recessed portion 20, which when the lower portion of the goods 5 is arranged on the first recessed portion, can move the upper portion of the goods 5 and regulate the movement thereof, is formed at a position above or diagonally in front of the first recessed portion 10.

Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle console structure capable of suitably storing substantially flat articles such as documents and maps in a passenger compartment.

Conventionally, as an example of a console box, there is one described in Patent Document 1.
The console box described in this document is a floor console provided between two front seats of a vehicle, and has a recess that extends in the vehicle front-rear direction by opening a front portion, a rear portion, and an upper portion. If the lower part of a substantially flat article such as a document is placed in the recess, the document can be held upright.

However, in the prior art, since the lower part of the substantially flat article is only disposed and supported in the recess, the support state of the article is unstable, and the upper part of the article is particularly likely to shake greatly. Since the vehicle often shakes greatly in various directions during its travel, it is desirable to stabilize the support state of the article.
Note that if the concave portion is formed deeply, the stability of the article support can be improved, but it is not very realistic to form the concave portion so deep that it can deal with a large article such as an A4 notebook. Further, if the concave portion is formed deeply, for example, when a small article falls into the concave portion, there arises a problem that it is difficult to take out the accessory.

Japanese Patent No. 4681364

  The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances as described above, and even if it is a substantially flat article having a relatively large size, without forming the recess of the floor console too deeply, An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle console structure that can be stably supported.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

  According to the vehicle console structure provided by the present invention, a floor console is provided between two front seats of the vehicle, and the floor console holds the article in an upright state by disposing a lower part of a substantially flat article. A console structure of a vehicle having an upper opening-shaped first recess for making the instrument panel of the vehicle or a member attached to the instrument panel of the first recess A second recess is provided at an upper or obliquely upper front position that allows the upper part of the article to enter and restrict movement when the lower part of the article is placed in the first recess. It is characterized by being.

According to such a configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
That is, when the lower part of the substantially flat article is placed in the first recess and is in a standing state, the upper part of the article can enter the second recess and the movement can be restricted. The support state of is stable. Therefore, even when the vehicle is greatly shaken, it is possible to stabilize the entire article so as not to be shaken greatly.
Further, it is not necessary to form the first concave portion considerably deeply for the purpose of improving the stability of the article. Even when the first concave portion is formed relatively shallow and small items or the like enter the first concave portion, the first concave portion can be easily taken out.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is a principal part perspective view which shows an example of the console structure of the vehicle which concerns on this invention. It is use condition explanatory drawing equivalent to the II-II sectional drawing of FIG.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  The vehicle console structure C shown in FIG. 1 includes a first recess 10 provided in the floor console 1 and a second recess 20 provided in a center cluster portion 31 located in the center of the instrument panel 30. ing.

  The floor console 1 is provided near the front of the vehicle between two front seats 4 of the vehicle (only the driver's seat is shown in the drawing and the passenger seat is omitted). The 1st recessed part 10 is provided in the position near a driver's seat among this floor console 1, for example. The first concave portion 10 has an upper opening shape and is defined by the front wall portion 10a and both side wall portions 10b facing each other in the vehicle width direction. As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the bottom surface 10 c of the first recess 10 is inclined downwardly. The inner side surface of the front wall portion 10a is inclined so that the crossing angle with the bottom surface 10c is substantially a right angle.

  The second concave portion 20 is provided in the center cluster portion 31 at a position above the first concave portion 10 or at an obliquely upper front position. This 2nd recessed part 20 is the slit shape which the lower part and the vehicle rear side opened. As shown in FIG. 2, when the lower part of the substantially flat article 5 such as a document is arranged in the first recess 10, the upper part of the article 5 can enter the second recess 20. It has become. Preferably, the 2nd recessed part 20 is provided so that the case where the articles | goods 5 are A4 size can also be coped with. The second recessed portion 20 is defined by a front wall portion 20a and an upper wall portion 20c, in addition to both side wall portions 20b facing in the vehicle width direction. As described above, since the bottom surface 10c of the first concave portion 10 is inclined in a front-lowering manner, the upper wall portion 20c of the second concave portion 20 is also inclined in a front-lowering manner corresponding thereto. . The front wall portion 20a is inclined at a direction and an angle substantially the same as the inner surface of the front wall portion 10a of the first recess 10. Preferably, the inner side surfaces of the front wall portions 10a and 20a are set so as to be positioned on the same plane. Such a configuration is convenient when the article 5 has a rectangular shape in a side view, and for example, the front portion of the article 5 can be brought into contact with the front wall portions 10a and 20a without any deviation.

  Next, the operation of the above-described vehicle console structure C will be described.

When the article 5 is, for example, an A4 size document, the lower portion of the article 5 is disposed in the first recess 10 and the upper portion of the article 5 is allowed to enter the second recess 20 as shown in FIG. That's fine. As a result, the article 5 is in a state where the upper and lower parts are appropriately supported, and the support state in the standing posture is stabilized. Even if the vehicle is slightly shaken, it is possible to prevent the article 5 from shaking greatly and not to easily escape from the first and second recesses 10 and 20. In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since the article 5 can be supported in a state tilted toward the front side of the vehicle, the article 5 is the first when the vehicle is suddenly stopped.
In addition, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is difficult to jump out from the second recesses 10 and 20 to the rear of the vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of separately providing a stopper for preventing the article 5 from jumping out to the rear of the vehicle.

  The article 5 can be easily taken in and out of the first and second recesses 10 and 20, and the handleability is also good. Further, since the support state of the article 5 is stabilized due to the presence of the second recess 20, it is not necessary to form the first recess 10 too deeply. About the 1st recessed part 10, even if a depth is shallow and small goods enter into the inside, this can be set as the structure which can be taken out easily.

  The present invention is not limited to the contents of the above-described embodiment. The specific configuration of each part of the vehicle console structure according to the present invention can be varied in design in various ways within the scope of the present invention.

  In the present invention, the width of the first and second recesses 10 and 20 in the vehicle width direction can be made relatively large so that a plurality of documents can be held in a state of being arranged in the vehicle width direction. In this case, a means for providing a partition (for example, a partition protruding with a small dimension from the bottom surface of the first recess 10) for suppressing the document from moving in the vehicle width direction may be employed. The first and second recesses 10 and 20 are preferably configured to accommodate an A4 size article, but are not limited to this.

  The position where the second concave portion is provided is not limited to the center cluster portion. You may provide a 2nd recessed part using the other part of the instrument panel, or the member separately added and provided in the instrument panel. The first recess is provided in the floor console, but the floor console only needs to include at least the first recess. Therefore, the floor console referred to in the present invention can be configured as having only the first recess. The bottom surface of the first recess does not necessarily have to be a front-declining inclined surface, and may be a substantially horizontal surface, for example.
