The first movable clamping piece 124 includes a base end portion 130 received in the main guide groove 114 and a free end portion 132 extending from the base end portion 130. The base end portion 130 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and both left and right side surfaces slide on both side walls of the main guide groove 114. The free end portion 132 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, the length in the left-right direction is longer than that of the main guide groove 114, and is connected to the base end portion 130 at the center in the left-right direction. The first movable clamping portion 32 is normally guided by the main guide groove 114 and slides in the vertical direction. Such a position of the 1st movable clamping part 32 is called an operation position. The cushioning material 112c is attached to the surface facing the basic clamping piece 122 in the posture when the first movable clamping portion 32 is in the operating position, and the concave portion 134 is provided on the opposite surface. When the first movable holding portion 32 is in the operating position, the surface of the free end portion 132 facing the mounting plate 28 slides on the surface of the first support portion 110 in which the locking groove 118 is formed. As described above, when the first movable holding portion 32 slides, the left and right side surfaces of the base end portion 130 are guided by the both side walls of the main guide groove 114, so that the first movable holding portion 32 is rotated around the axis orthogonal to the placement surface 26. It does not rotate, and since one surface of the free end portion 132 abuts on the surface of the first support portion 110, it does not rotate around the rotation shaft portion 126. That is, the 1st movable clamping part 32 can be slid and moved to the vertical direction in the state which maintained the attitude | position.

  The rotation shaft portion 126 extends from the base end portion 130, and both ends thereof are accommodated in the sub guide groove 116. When the first movable clamping portion 32 is in the operating position, both ends of the rotation shaft portion 126 slide in the sub guide groove 116 as the base end portion 130 slides in the main guide groove 114. This prevents the first movable clamping part 32 from being detached from the first support part 110. When the first movable clamping piece 124 is disposed at the upper end side of the slidable movable range, that is, at the maximum separation position from the basic clamping unit 30, the free end portion 132 is at least vertically above the rotary shaft portion 126. Since the portion located at is not in contact with the surface of the first support portion 110, the surface of the first support portion 110 does not restrict the rotation of the first movable clamping piece 124 around the rotation shaft portion 126. Therefore, the first movable clamping piece 124 can be rotated so that the free end portion 132 is immersed in the mounting surface 26 above the first support portion 110. Note that the groove width is widened at the upper end in the vertical direction of the sub-guide groove 116 so that this rotation is not hindered.

  The locking claw member 128 includes an operating portion 136 that is received in the concave portion 134 of the free end portion 132 of the first movable clamping piece 124, and a left and right that extends from the operating portion 136 and is selectively locked in the locking groove 118. A pair of locking claws 138. The operation unit 136 is attached to the first movable holding piece 124 so as to be rotatable about the horizontal direction of the mounting plate 28 as an axial direction. The pivotable range is determined at a position where the proximal end side and the free end side of the rotation come into contact with the proximal end portion 130 and the free end portion 132 of the first movable holding piece 124, respectively. The locking claw member 128 is urged by a torsion coil spring (not shown) so that the base end side comes into contact with the base end portion 130 of the first movable holding piece 124. When the first movable sandwiching portion 32 is in the operating position and the operation portion 136 is not operated, the pair of left and right engaging claws 138 are a pair of engaging grooves aligned with any left and right of the plurality of engaging grooves 118. The first movable clamping piece 124 is locked by 118. When the free end side of the operation portion 136 is pushed toward the first movable clamping piece 124 against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring, the pair of locking claws 138 are separated from the locking groove 118, and the first movable clamping is performed. The part 32 can be slid in the vertical direction.

  The second movable sandwiching portion 34 includes a pair of left and right leg portions 140 supported by the pair of second support portions 120 so as to be slidable along the vertical direction, and a mounting surface from the upper end in the vertical direction of the pair of leg portions 140. The second movable holding piece 142 that extends to the 26 side and holds the article placed on the placement surface 26 in cooperation with the basic holding part 30 is connected to the upper end side in the vertical direction of the pair of leg parts 140. The connecting piece 144 and a buffer material 112d attached to the lower surface side in the vertical direction of the second movable holding piece 142 are provided.

  The pair of leg portions 140, the pair of second movable holding pieces 142, and the connecting piece 144 are integrally formed using resin as a material. The longitudinal length of the pair of leg portions 140 is substantially equal to the longitudinal length of the mounting plate 28. The position where the second movable holding piece 142 is locked to the upper edge of the mounting plate 28 is the position where the second movable holding piece 142 is closest to the basic holding piece 122, and the lower ends of at least one of the pair of leg portions 140. The position where the stopper (not shown) such as a screw attached in the vicinity is locked to the lower edge of the wall provided at the upper portion in the vertical direction on the back surface side of the second support 120 is the second movable clamping piece 142. The position is farthest from the base clamping piece 122. Therefore, the maximum clamping width between the second movable clamping piece 142 and the basic clamping piece 122 is about twice the maximum clamping width between the first movable clamping piece 124 and the basic clamping piece 122. In order to assist the sliding movement of the leg portion 140 and slow down the sliding movement speed, the leg portion 140 is engaged with a rack (not shown) provided in the second support portion 120 and has a damper function (see FIG. (Not shown) is attached. In addition, a pair of tension coil springs (not shown) are arranged along the pair of leg portions 140, and one end of the tension coil spring is attached to the upper surface in the vertical direction of the cover 36 that contacts the lower end of the second support portion 120. The other end is attached to the upper end side of the leg 140. The pair of tension coil springs urge the second movable clamping portion 34 downward in the vertical direction. Since the pair of tension coil springs has a total length substantially equal to the length of the leg portion 140 in the longitudinal direction, fluctuations in the urging force due to the extension length of the leg portion 140 can be suppressed.

  The protruding length of the second movable holding piece 142 from the mounting surface 26 is longer than the protruding length from the mounting surface 26 when the first movable holding piece 124 is in the operating position. When the second movable sandwiching piece 142 is closest to the base sandwiching piece 122 and the first movable sandwiching piece 124 is in the retracted position, the first movable sandwiching piece 124 is interposed between the pair of second movable sandwiching pieces 142. To position. In this state, the upper edge in the vertical direction of the pair of second movable holding pieces 142 is located above the upper edge in the vertical direction of the first movable holding piece 124.

  Next, a procedure for the user to use the holding device 2 will be described.

  When the holding device 2 is not used, the holding device 2 is stored as shown in FIG. From this state, the cover 36 is gripped and the support base 22 is pulled out toward the rear of the vehicle 4. When the support base 22 is pulled out to the protruding position where the backward movement is restricted by the stopper 50, the slide lock member 54 is displaced, and the convex portion 68 engages the bulging portion 84 of the upper wall 80 of the case 16. Therefore, the support base 22 is also restricted from moving forward and becomes locked.

  When the ball joint 24 is locked, the lever 96 is moved to the left of the mounting plate 28 to release the lock of the ball joint 24. The mounting plate 28 is adjusted to an arbitrary angle with respect to the support base 22 via the ball joint 24. For example, when the driver wants to see the article placed on the right-hand drive vehicle 4, the angle may be as shown in FIG. Further, the placement surface 26 may face the passenger seat side. In order to prevent the article from dropping from the placement plate 28 due to gravity between the time when the product is placed on the placement plate 28 and the time when the product is sandwiched, at least one of the placement plate 28 and the base clamping unit 30 is provided. It is desirable to set the angle to support from below. Next, the lever 96 is moved to the right of the mounting plate 28 to lock the ball joint 24, and the angle of the mounting plate 28 with respect to the support base 22 is fixed.

  When the longitudinal length of the article placed on the placement plate 28 is relatively short, specifically when it is generally smaller than the longitudinal length of the placement surface 26, the base clamping portion 30 and the first movable clamping The article is held between the parts 32. In this case, the article is placed on the mounting surface 26 so as to abut on the base clamping portion 30, the operation portion 136 of the locking claw member 128 is pushed, and the locking claw 138 is detached from the locking groove 118, so that the first movable clamping The part 32 is slid. If the hand is released from the operation unit 136 at a position where the first movable clamping unit 32 and the basic clamping unit 30 clamp the article, the locking claw 138 is locked to the locking groove 118 at or near that position. 1 The movable clamping part 32 is locked. When the longitudinal length of the article placed on the placement plate 28 is relatively long, specifically when it is generally larger than the longitudinal length of the placement surface 26, the basic clamping portion 30 and the second movable clamping The article is held between the parts 34. In this case, first, the operating portion 136 of the locking claw member 128 is pushed in to disengage the locking claw 138 from the locking groove 118, and the first movable clamping portion 32 is slid to the maximum separation position within the slidable range. At that position, the first movable holding portion 32 is rotated around the rotation shaft portion 126 so as to be immersed in the mounting surface 26. By displacing the first movable sandwiching portion 32 to the immersive position in this manner, the first movable sandwiching portion 32 can be prevented from becoming an obstacle when a relatively large article is placed. Next, in a state where the second movable sandwiching portion 34 is pulled up in the vertical direction, the article is placed on the placement plate 28 so as to contact the placement surface 26 and the foundation sandwiching portion 30. When the hand is released from the second movable holding portion 34, the second movable holding portion 34 moves downward in the vertical direction by the urging force of the tension coil spring, and the article is held in cooperation with the basic holding portion 30. Since the clamping width is expanded by sliding the leg portion 140, the size of the mounting plate 28 can be set according to the size of a relatively small article, and it is possible to prevent the storage space from becoming excessive and to be used. It is possible to prevent the time arrangement space from becoming excessive with respect to the size of the article actually placed.

  If the angle of the mounting plate 28 is to be readjusted, the lever 96 is moved to the left of the mounting plate 28 to unlock the ball joint 24, the angle of the mounting plate 28 is adjusted, and the lever 96 is mounted. The ball joint 24 is locked again by moving it to the right of the mounting plate 28.

  When removing the article, the article is removed from the mounting plate 28 after the first movable holding part 32 or the second movable holding part 34 is moved upward in the vertical direction. In addition, when the article is held by the first movable clamping unit 32, the article is pressed against one of the cushioning members 112b and 112c of the basic clamping unit 30 and the first movable clamping unit 32, so that the other and the article are Since a gap is generated between them, the article can be taken out without moving the first movable clamping part 32. Thereafter, the lever 96 is moved to the left of the mounting plate 28 to release the lock of the ball joint 24, the angle of the mounting plate 28 is adjusted, the mounting plate 28 is overlaid on the support base 22, and the main body 14 is moved. Set to the stowed position. At this time, the second movable clamping portion 34 is in a position where the second movable clamping piece 142 is in contact with the upper edge of the mounting plate 28 by the urging force of the tension coil spring and is closest to the basic clamping piece 122, and is compact. Can be stored in a state. Further, the first movable clamping part 32 does not become an obstacle to storage even if it is located at either the operating position or the immersion position. When in the operating position, the protruding length of the first movable clamping piece 124 from the mounting surface 26 is smaller than the protruding length of the second movable clamping piece 142, and when in the immersive position, the first movable clamping piece This is because the vertical upper edge 124 is positioned below the vertical upper edge of the second movable clamping piece 142. Note that the shape and movement of the first movable sandwiching portion 32 are such that the upper edge in the vertical direction of the first movable sandwiching piece 124 is positioned higher than the upper edge in the longitudinal direction of the second movable sandwiching piece 142 when in the immersion position. Even if the range is set, the first movable clamping part 32 rotates until it is arranged below the upper edge of the second movable clamping piece 142, so that the storage is not hindered.

  When the mounting plate 28 is moved so as to press the connection piece 144 of the upper portion of the main body portion 14, that is, the second movable holding portion 34 against the extension portion 70 of the slide lock member 54 in the storage posture, the convex portion of the slide lock member 54 is moved. 68 moves downward so that the engagement with the bulging portion 84 of the case 16 is released, and the restriction of the sliding movement of the support base 22 forward of the vehicle 4 is released. In this state, the main body 14 can be accommodated in the case 16 by pushing the support base 22 forward of the vehicle 4.

  Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the description, the description of the configuration common to the first embodiment is omitted, and the same reference numerals are given. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the holding device 202 and shows a state in which the main body portion 204 protrudes from the case 16 and an article can be placed thereon. In the second embodiment, the mounting plate 206 is mainly divided into an upper mounting plate 206a and a lower mounting plate 206b, and the upper mounting plate 206a is slidable in the vertical direction. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the portion 208 and the second movable sandwiching portion 210 include a common movable sandwiching piece 212.

  The mounting plate 206 includes an upper mounting plate 206a formed on the upper side in the vertical direction and a lower mounting plate 206b formed on the lower side in the vertical direction. The placement surface 214 on which the article is to be placed includes an upper placement surface 214a formed on the main surface of the upper placement plate 206a, and a lower placement surface 214b formed on the main surface of the lower placement plate 206b. Consists of.

  A foundation clamping unit 30 is provided on the lower edge of the lower mounting plate 206b. The upper mounting plate 206a is provided with a first support portion 216 that supports the movable holding piece 212 so as to be slidable. The first support portion 216 has a structure similar to that of the first support portion 110 of the first embodiment, but the vertical direction of the main guide groove 218 is such that the movable clamping piece 212 is locked so as not to rotate at the maximum separation position. The upper end in the direction is defined by a wall, and a surface that supports the movable holding piece 212 when placed at the maximum distance between the upper end in the vertical direction of the main guide groove 218 and the upper end of the upper mounting plate 206a. Is formed.

  The 1st movable clamping part 208 has the structure substantially the same as the 1st movable clamping part 32 of 1st Embodiment. The movable clamping piece 212 corresponds to the first movable clamping piece 124 of the first embodiment. In the movable clamping piece 212, a portion corresponding to the rotation shaft portion 126 of the first embodiment does not have a function for rotating the first movable clamping portion 208, and the first movable clamping portion 208 has the first support. The separation from the portion 216 is prevented.
