Japanese Patent No. 4406306 Japanese Patent No. 4986133

For example, each storage device described above is often attached to an instrument panel as a part to be attached in a room such as an automobile. In that case, in the structure of Patent Document 1, if there is a protrusion that protrudes into the interior of the room on the upper side of the portion where the storage device is installed in the attached portion, there is a risk that the held article will hit the protrusion when the lid is in use. Therefore, there are restrictions on the shape of the installation portion and the vicinity of the upper side thereof. A countermeasure is to position the container holding portion away from the attached portion as in Patent Document 2. However, the structure of Document 2 not only becomes complicated and expensive, but also the depth dimension of the case becomes large, and the depth dimension of the back side of the mounting part is restricted.

The present invention solves the above problems. The object is to make it easy to hold an article at a position further away from the mounting surface of the mounting part to make it easier to use while maintaining compactness, and to make the shape of the mounting part unrestricted. Other objects will become apparent in the following description.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a case 2 fixed to a mounting portion 18, a lid 3 rotatably supported by the case for opening and closing the case opening, and the lid In the storage device 1 provided with a holder 5 for preventing an article placed on the lid from falling down, the holder 5 is interlocked with the operation of switching the lid 3 from the open state to the closed state and from the closed state to the open state. It is characterized in that it can be switched between a non-use position in which it falls down on the lid and a use position in which it stands on the lid.

In the above invention, the case defines a recess that is open on the front side. The lid is rotatably supported by the case to open and close the case opening. The holder holds a part of the peripheral surface of the article placed on the lid to prevent the article from falling. Here, the lid of the invention is the same as the conventional lid in that it receives articles in an open state, but has a plate portion, both side portions, and a back portion for opening and closing the opening of the case as in the form. It preferably lacks the front wall facing the back portion. In this configuration, the holder can be switched between a non-use position in which the holder rotates about its lower end and falls down on the lid and a use position in which it stands on the lid. This is because, in the upright position, it is possible to come to the near side of the lid (left side in FIG. 7) as much as possible so that it is easy to separate from the mounted portion.

It is more preferable that the present invention as described above is embodied as in claims 2-7. i.e.
(a) The structure has a link 6 that connects the holder 5 and the case 2 and interlocks the switching of the position of the holder with the switching of the open/closed state of the lid 3 (claim 2).
(a) In Claim 2, one end of the link 6 is rotatably supported by the case 2, and the other end is rotatably supported by the holder 5 through a groove 39 provided in the lid 3. (Claim 3).

(c) The holder 5 is pivotally supported on the free end of the lid 3 when the lid 3 is open, and falls on the lid when the lid is closed (claim 4).
(d) In the use position where the holder 5 stands on the lid 3, the holding portion 50 that abuts on the peripheral surface of the article 17 is arranged to protrude outward from the free end side of the lid 3. Item 5).

(e) In claim 5, the holder 5 has a pair of leg portions 51 extending downward from the holding portion 50 and pivotally supported by the lid, and an opening is provided between the leg portions. 52, the lower part of the article can be exposed (claim 6).
(f) a reversal spring member 12 for deadlock that can be reversed between the lid 3 in the open state and the closed state to bias the lid 3 in the opening direction and the closing direction, and a backlash provided between the case and the link; It is the structure which has the spring member 11 for additional absorption (Claim 7).

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the storage device includes a case, a lid for opening and closing the case opening, and a holder for preventing an article placed on the lid from falling. Since it can be switched between the non-use position in which it falls on the lid and the use position in which it stands on the lid in conjunction with the switching operation, it has the following advantages compared to Patent Documents 1 and 2.
First, when the lid is closed, the holder falls down on the lid and is compact, so the clearance between the case and the lid can be easily reduced. Compared to Patent Document 1, it is not necessary to provide a notch for allowing the holder to escape from the back wall of the case, and the external appearance of the lid in the open state can be maintained.
Secondly, when the lid is open, the holder can be switched to the use position where it stands upright on the inner surface of the lid. Compared to the structure in which the holder is rotated horizontally with respect to the lid, as in the form example, it is composed of a holding part and a leg part, and the leg part side is opened, and the lower part of the article is placed on the lid through the opening. It becomes easy to make it visible and to give novelty.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the holder can be reliably switched between the use position and the non-use position by the link in conjunction with the opening and closing of the lid. In this case, in the third aspect of the invention, one end of the link is rotatably supported by the case, and the other end is rotatably supported by the holder through a groove provided in the lid. By arranging it on the outer surface of the lid as in the form, it is possible to eliminate the risk of hitting the article and maintain the appearance.

In the fourth aspect of the invention, the holder is pivotally supported on the free end side of the lid when the lid is open, and falls on the lid when the lid is closed. It is difficult to get in the way at the non-use position.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, when the holder is in the position of use in which the holder stands on the lid, the holding portion that abuts on the peripheral surface of the article protrudes outward from the free end side of the lid. Even if there is a projecting portion that greatly protrudes to the near side, the article can be held without being restricted by the projecting portion. In this case, according to the sixth aspect of the invention, the holder has a pair of legs extending downward from the holding portion and pivotally supported by the lid, and the legs are opened to expose the lower part of the article. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a part of the article is held in a state where it escapes from the lid to the front side due to the existence of the opening, and as a result, the article is held at a place further away from the attached part. As a result, it becomes possible to be released from the restriction by the protrusion as described above.

In the seventh aspect of the invention, the lid is urged in the opening direction in the open state and urged in the closing direction in the closed state by the reversing spring member for deadlock. There is no longer any risk of sagging. At the same time, since the link is always biased by the spring member, there is no fear of the link rattling.

Both side portions 31 are provided on the rear upper side and are fitted to the guide groove 23a of the case, and the pin 9 is provided on the lower side of the protrusion 35 and inserted into the support hole 28 via the collar 8. A hole portion 37 to be fitted, an engaged portion 36b provided on the rear side of the hole portion 37 and engaged with the claw-shaped engaging portion 46a of the face 4, and a coaxial It has a through shaft hole 38 , an arcuate groove 39 centered around the shaft hole 38 , and an engaged portion 36a provided below the arcuate groove 39 and engaged with the engaging portion 46b of the face 4 . ing. On the right side portion 31, as shown in FIG. 7(c), a rectangular receiving portion 31b protruding approximately in the front-rear direction and on which a looseness absorbing spring member 11 is arranged, and a spring member 11 located below the rectangular receiving portion 31b. A locking hole 31c for locking one end 11a of the member 11 is provided. A cushioning material 16 (see FIG. 5) such as felt that facilitates movement of the spring member 11 is adhered to the receiving portion 31b as necessary. Reference numeral 30c denotes a pair of restricting pieces 30c projecting from the front side of the lower surface of the plate portion 30. As shown in FIG. When the face 4 is assembled to the lid 3 , the regulation piece 30 c abuts on the rib 44 c on the face side to position the face 4 on the lid 3 .

That is, the face 4 includes a plate portion 40 covering the lower surface side of the lid 3, an operation portion 41 protruding from the front side of the plate portion 40, a rear wall portion 42 protruding to the rear side of the plate portion 40, and a plate Side portions 43 projecting from both sides of the portion 40 and extending from the front to the rear; a plurality of reinforcing ribs 44b, ribs 44c projecting from the inner surface of the inner surface of the plate portion 40 to the left and right of the front side and fitted to the restriction pieces 30c of the lid, and projections projecting from both sides of the rear wall portion 42 to the side surface side. a portion 47; In addition, claw-like engaging portions 46a are provided to face the projecting portions 47 on both sides. Both side portions 43 are provided with a shaft-like engaging portion 45 on the upper front side, and a piece-like engaging portion 46 b is provided on the lower side of the engaging portion 45 .

The face 4 described above is positioned with respect to the lid 3 by fitting the ribs 44a into the openings 33 and the ribs 44c into the restricting pieces 30c. The front and left engaging portions 46b are engaged with the engaged portion 36a on the lid side, and the shaft-like engaging portion 45 on the lid side is engaged with the corresponding portion of the face. At that time, the shaft portion 6a provided at the other end of the links 6A and 6B is loosely inserted into the arcuate groove 39 on the lid side and is further fitted into the fitting hole 54 provided in the leg portion 51 of the holder 5. . One end 11a of the winding portion of the spring member 11 is locked in the locking hole 31c, and the other end 11b is locked in the locking hole 6c of the link 6A against the biasing force.

Here, the holder 5 has a semi-cylindrical shape, the upper side of which is formed as an arcuate holding portion 50 , and the lower side of which is formed as left and right leg portions 51 protruding from both lower sides of the holding portion 50 . The holding portion 50 has a shape for receiving and holding the surrounding portion of the article 17 so that it does not fall down. The leg portion 51 is rotatably supported on the front side of the side wall 31 of the lid. More specifically, on the outer surface of each leg 51, a shaft 53 with a groove 54 pivotally supported in a lid-side shaft hole 38 and a hole 57 fitted with a link-side shaft 6b, which will be described later, are defined. A cylindrical portion 56 is provided. That is, the shaft portion 53 has a plurality of grooves 4, and a claw portion 54 is formed at the tip of the shaft portion between the grooves. This configuration prevents the shaft portion 53 from being accidentally released due to the presence of the pawl portion 55 when the shaft portion 53 is fitted in the shaft hole 38 . An arc-shaped receiving portion 58 connected to the outer circumference of the cylindrical portion is provided on the lower side of the cylindrical portion 56 (see the enlarged view of FIG. 5). This configuration allows the tip of the shaft portion 6b to be supported by the receiving portion 58 when the tip of the shaft portion 6b protrudes outward from the hole portion 57 of the cylindrical portion.

In other words, the holder 5 falls down on the lid 3 in a state where the shaft portion 53 is rotatably pivoted in the shaft hole 38 of the side wall of the lid 3 as shown in FIGS. It is assembled so as to be switchable to a use position in which it stands substantially vertically on the lid. The holder 5 is rotatably supported on the free end side of the lid 3 by fitting the shaft hole 38 and the shaft portion 53, and the holder 5 is interlocked with the opening and closing operation of the lid 3 via the links 6A and 6B. to switch between the non-use position and the use position. When the holder 5 is in the use position standing on the lid 3 , the holding portion 50 abutting on the peripheral surface of the article 17 protrudes outward from the free end side of the lid 3 . In addition, since the holder 5 has an opening 52 between the pair of legs 51 extending downward from the holding portion 50 and pivotally supported by the lid, the lower portion of the article 17 is exposed to the naked eye.

The links 6A and 6B are members that connect the holder 5 and the case 2 and interlock the position switching of the holder 5 with the switching of the open/closed state of the lid 3 . Both are provided with a plurality of ribs on the inner and outer surfaces to facilitate sliding, and one end forms a fitting hole 6a for fitting the shaft portion 29 on the case side, and the other end forms an arc-shaped groove portion 39 on the lid side. It is the same in that the shaft portion 6b that is loosely inserted into is protruded. As shown in FIG. 5, the link 6A is provided with an engaging hole 6c substantially midway between the front and rear thereof for engaging the other end 11b of the spring member that is not provided in the link 6B.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 10, the flap 7 is in the form of a relatively small rectangular plate arranged between the lid portions 34, and is provided on both rear sides of the plate portion 7a. A hole portion 7b to be fitted to 34a, a recess portion 7c for engraving an article to be held or affixing a print sheet on the upper surface of the plate portion 7a, and protruding on both sides of the rear end surface to hit the corresponding portion of the opening 33. A rib 7d, a projection 7j projecting from one side to the other on the lower surface of the plate portion 7a, a recess 7e provided in the projection 7j for locking one end 12a of the spring member 12, and a recess 7e provided on the front side. It has a recess 7f for locking the other end 12b of the spring member 12 against the biasing force. The flap 7 is fitted with a hole portion 7b corresponding to a pair of shaft portions 34a on the lid side. , and the other end 12b is engaged with the recess 7f while exerting an urging force, and is urged and held substantially horizontally. The flap 7 restrains and holds the article 17 between itself and the holding portion 50 while being pushed by the article 17 and inclined downward.

In the above structure, for example, the holder 5, the links 6A and 6B, the spring member 11, the flap 7, and the spring member 12 are assembled to the lid 3, and then assembled into the case 2. FIG. In this case, the lid 3 fits the protrusions 35 on both sides of the case 2 into the corresponding guide grooves 23a, the fitting holes 6a of the links 6A and 6B are fitted into the shafts 29 of the case, and the holes on both sides are fitted. By fitting the collar 8 and the screw 9 into the support hole 28 and the hole 37 from the outside of the case while the portion 37 is overlaid on the corresponding support hole 28 of the case, the lid can be rotated between the use state and the non-use state. to be assembled.

Then, the lid 3 becomes rotatable about the screw 9 as a fulcrum, and is rotated along the trajectory of the guide groove 23a. The guide groove 23a rotates the lid 3 by approximately 90 degrees. Further, in this structure, the reversing spring member is assembled in such a state that one end 10a is locked to the shaft portion 27 of the case and the other end 10b is locked to the lid shaft portion 32b. As can be inferred from FIG. 4, the produced storage device 1 is incorporated in a recess 19 provided in an instrument panel 18, which is a portion to be attached, and mounting portions 25a to 25d are provided in the recess 19 (not shown). It is fixed to the fixed portion using screws or the like.

(Operation) Next, the operation and advantages of using the storage device 1 described above will be clarified.
(1) When holding the article 17 in the storage device 1, the lid 3 is held from the closed state shown in FIGS. to rotate. Then, while the lid 3 is rotating in the opening direction, the reversing spring member 10 reverses the biasing direction and is switched to the open state by the biasing force, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4(a). In the open state, the projection 35 is in contact with the upper end face of the guide groove 23a. In this example, the rotation range of the lid 3 is regulated by the arc of the projection 35 and the guide groove 23a, but the lid 3 is set to be obliquely downward with respect to the instrument panel 18, which is the mounting portion. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the bottom surface of the article 17 is received by the plate portion 30 of the lid, and the peripheral portion of the article is received by the arc-shaped holding portion 50 of the holder 5, so that the article 17 is held at a predetermined inclination angle. retained. That is, the article 17 assumes a posture in which the upper side is further away from the instrument panel 18 than the lower side. This configuration provides more maneuverability than if the item 17 is held vertically when the occupant retrieves the item 17 .

(2) When holding an article, the flap 7 is pushed by the article and rotated downward against the urging force of the spring member 12 to restrain the periphery of the article 17 between it and the holding portion 50 . That is, the flap 7 is always in a substantially horizontal posture due to the biasing force of the spring member 12, and is pushed by the article 17 or the like against the biasing force of the spring member 12, so that the flap 7 assumes an obliquely downward posture and the pushing force is released. Then, it returns to the original substantially horizontal posture. When the lid 3 is to be switched from the open state to the closed state, the operating portion 41 is manually pushed in the closing direction against the urging force of the reversing spring member 10 . Then, while the lid 3 is rotating in the closing direction, the reversing spring member 10 reverses the biasing direction and is switched to the closed state by the biasing force. Since the lid 3 receives the urging force of the reversing spring member 12 both in the open state and the closed state, there is no inadvertent backlash, and locking means such as that disclosed in Cited Document 2 is not required.

(3) In the storage device 1 described above, the holder 5 can be reliably and smoothly switched between the use position and the non-use position in conjunction with the opening and closing of the lid 3 by the links 6A and 6B. The lid 5 is rotatably supported in a state in which the hole 6a provided at one end of the link is fitted to the shaft 29 of the case, and the shaft 6b provided at the other end of the link is inserted into the groove 39 of the case. It is rotatably supported while being fitted in the hole 57 of the holder. The tip of the shaft portion 6b protrudes from the hole portion 57 and is stably supported by the receiving portion 58. As shown in FIG. In addition, in this structure, the links 6A and 6B are arranged on the outer surface of the lid 3 and are rotatably supported by the holder 5 through the grooves 39. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the risk of hitting the article and maintain the appearance. .

(4) In addition, in this storage device 1, the holder 5 is pivotally supported on the free end side of the lid 3 when the lid 3 is open, and falls on the lid when the lid 3 is closed. Even if it is secured, the holder 5 hardly becomes an obstacle when the lid 3 is closed, that is, when the holder 5 is not in use. Further, in the storage device 1, when the holder 5 is in the use position in which the holder 5 stands on the lid 3, as shown in FIG. do. For this reason, in this structure, even if the instrument panel 18 has, for example, a projecting portion that protrudes greatly toward the near side as an attached portion, the article can be held without being restricted by the projecting portion.

(5) Moreover, in this structure, the holder 5 has a pair of leg portions 51 extending downward from the holding portion 50 and pivotally supported by the lid 3 as shown in FIG. The opening 52 allows the lower portion of the article 17 to be moved onto the plate portion 30 of the lid and exposed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4(a), a part of the article 17 can be held in a state where it escapes from the lid 3 due to the presence of the opening 52, and the article 17 is used as a mounting portion to be more easily removed from the instrument panel 18. It can be held at a remote location. As a result, even if the instrument panel 18 has a shape having protrusions as described above, the holding of articles is not restricted.

(6) Furthermore, in this structure, the lid 3 is biased in the opening direction by the reversing spring member 10 for deadlock in the open state, and is biased in the closing direction in the closed state. No locking means is required, and the lid 3 is free from the risk of unintentional looseness. On the other hand, since the link 6A is always biased by the spring member 11, there is no risk of the link 6A rattling. These also improve usability and quality of the storage device 1 .

It should be noted that the above embodiment is a basic example of the present invention, and the detailed configuration can be modified and developed in various ways. For example, the link 6 (6A, 6B) is not limited to the configuration using two as in the example of the form, but can be a single link. It is also possible to omit the flap 7 and hold an article 17 such as a plastic bottle or a mobile phone between the holding portion 50 of the holder and the lid 3 . In particular, as can be seen from FIG. 4(a), the lid 4 is tilted downward at a predetermined tilt angle with respect to the instrument panel 18, which is the portion to be attached, in the state of use. Since the article is held by the arcuate surface of the holding portion 50 while being received by the inner surface of 3, the article can be stably held even if the flap 7 is omitted. Further, even if the lid is not configured to be biased in the opening direction and the closing direction in the open state and the closed state by the reversing spring member, the lid is closed through the lock means in place of the reversing spring member as in Patent Document 2. may be kept.
