Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a drawer-type container holder provided in a vehicle compartment.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of container holder, since the hole diameter of the container holding hole is unchanged, there is a problem that holding of cups having an outer diameter smaller than the hole diameter causes uncertain holding. It was

As a container holder improved in this respect, a holder body having a container housing hole is provided with a slidable panel for varying the opening area of the housing hole, and when a cup or the like is placed on a container receiver, the panel slides. A holder has been proposed in which the accommodation hole has a hole diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the cups (Shokai Sho 62-4436).

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, since the holder uses a pinion gear and a rack as a transmission means for narrowing the opening area of the container accommodation hole, the holder main body must be thicker than the outer shape of the pinion gear and the thickness of the rack. Therefore, there is a problem that the storage space of the container holder is increased.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle container holder that can always reliably hold the container in a very small storage space without being affected by the size of the outer shape of the container.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle container holder of the present invention is stored in a storage case mounted in a vehicle compartment and in the storage case so as to be horizontally drawn out from the storage case. A holder body in which elongated holes are provided on both sides in the vicinity of the drawer end in the housing direction, and a holder bar that is installed between the elongated holes and is movable in the drawer direction or the housing direction while being erected.
An arm having a base end attached to the holder bar, a container receiving member attached to the tip of the arm parallel to the holder bar, and each base end being pivoted on both sides of the holder main body on the storage side from the elongated hole position. And a pair of links each of which is attached to each end of the container receiver at both ends thereof.

[Operation] When the holder body is pulled out and the container is placed on the container receiver,
The holder bar is returned to the storage direction by the weight of the container and holds the container together with the holder body or the storage case. When the holder body is stored, the holder bar moves to the pull-out end side of the holder body, and the link and the arm extend in a substantially straight line.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the container holder 10 is a storage case attached to an instrument panel 11 in a vehicle compartment.
12 and a holder main body 13 housed in the case 12 so as to be drawn out in the horizontal direction.

On both sides of the main body 13 near the drawer end, there are long holes 13 in the storage direction.
a is provided (FIGS. 1 and 4), and a large-diameter container accommodating hole 13c is provided in the upper plate 13b (FIGS. 3 and 4).
Figure). Further, a handle 13d is provided at the drawer end of the main body 13,
At the storage end of the main body 13, a stopper 13e for preventing the main body 13 from falling off
Is provided. A holder bar 14 is installed between the long holes 13a, and the bar 14 is mounted so as to be movable in the drawing direction or the storage direction in the installed state (FIGS. 1 and 4).

The base ends of the arms 16 are integrally mounted near the both ends of the bar 14. A plate-shaped container receiving member 17 is pivotally attached to the tip of the arm 16 in parallel with the bar 14. The receiver 17 is mounted with its pivot point on the arm 16 positioned on a vertical line passing through the center of gravity above the center of gravity of the container receiver 17 so that the plane on which the container 18 is placed is always horizontal. Also, the main body 1 on the storage side from the position of the long hole 13a
The tip ends of a pair of links 19 are pivotally attached to both side surfaces of 3, and the tip ends of the link 19 are pivotally attached to both ends of the receiving member 17 (FIGS. 1 and 3).

The bar 14 is configured to hold the container 18 together with the hole edge of the container receiving hole 13c of the main body 13 in the state where the main body 13 is pulled out and the container 18 is placed on the receiving member 17 (see FIG. 1). The bar 19 and the arm 16 are configured to extend in a substantially straight line in a state where the bar 14 is moved to the pull-out end side of the main body 13 (FIG. 2).

A method of using the vehicle container holder thus configured will be described.

When the container holder 10 is used, the holder body 13 is pulled out from the storage case 12 by the handle 13d, the container 18 is inserted into the container storage hole 13c and placed on the container receiver 17 as shown in FIG. When the receiving member 17 is lowered by the weight of the container 18, the bar 14 moves in the storage direction along the elongated hole 13a and approaches the peripheral surface of the container 18. When the receiving tool 17 is further lowered, the container 18 becomes a bar 14 and a receiving hole.
It is clamped by the hole edge of 13c. As a result, the container 18 can always be reliably held without being affected by the size of the outer shape of the container 18.

Further, when the container holder 10 is not used, the container 18 is removed as shown in FIG. 4, and the main body 13 is pushed in the storing direction in this state. At this time, the link 19 is pushed to the lower edge of the case 12, and the bar 14 is inserted into the elongated hole 13a via the arm 16 connected to the link 19.
Move in the pulling direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the link 19 and the arm 16 extend in a substantially straight line in a state where the bar 14 is moved to the pull-out end side of the main body 13 and are accommodated within the thickness of the main body 13 and stored in the case 12. It

In the embodiment, the container receiving hole is formed in the upper plate of the holder body and the container is held between the hole edge of the container receiving hole and the holder bar, but this is an example, and the upper plate, that is, the container receiving hole is provided. Instead, the container may be held between the drawer end of the storage case and the holder bar.

Moreover, although the container holder for one is mentioned in the Example, it is not limited to this and the container holder for two or more may be sufficient.

In the case of a container holder for two pieces, the arm may be attached to the center of the holder bar. In the case of three pieces, the holder bar may be attached at a position where the holder bar is divided into three.

Further, this arm may be rotatably attached to the holder bar.

Furthermore, the container receiver is not limited to a flat plate shape but may be a rod shape, and in this case, the container receiver may be integrally formed with the arm or the link.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, since the holder bar pulls out the holder main body and puts the container on the container receiver, the holder bar clamps the container with the holder main body or the storage case.
It is possible to always reliably hold the container without being affected by the size of the outer shape of the container.

Further, since the link and the arm extend substantially in a straight line in a state where the holder bar is moved to the drawer end side of the holder body, the storage space for the container holder can be made extremely small unlike the conventional holder using the pinion gear and the rack.
