[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a console box, and more particularly, to a console box with a cup holder which is compact and has good handling without rattling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various console boxes with a cup holder in which a lid is provided with a cup holder have been proposed.

[0003] For example, a part of a one-sided lid having a hinge at the rear end of the console is turned upside down to reveal a cup holder (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-276732), or a lid body is provided with a cup holder. (See Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-104331) in which a cup holder appears by sliding an upper cover that covers the cover.

However, each of these conventional examples has some problems. For example, in the contact surface between the cup holder and the console box body, which appear to be structurally inverted, not only is unavoidable rattling due to the vibration of the car, but also the appearance when deployed (when using the cup holder) is not good. There was a problem.

[0005] In addition, although there is less backlash, when the sliding lid is slid, the number of engagement portions with the guide is reduced, so that backlash is not eliminated, and the passengers in the rear seats can reach their hands or carry luggage. Or the like, it is liable to be damaged, and the rear seat space tends to be narrowed, and there is a problem in aesthetic appearance.

[0006] As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have come up with a console box with a cup holder which not only solves the problems of the prior art but also has excellent handleability.

[0007]

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a console pox that is compact, has excellent handling, is space-saving and has an excellent appearance even when the cup holder is used.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in a console box provided with a console lid having a built-in cup holder, the upper surface of the console lid includes a front non-reversing portion and a reversing portion having at least one cup holder on one rear surface. The moving member is slidably fitted to the lid body along a guide that is substantially horizontal in the rear seat direction, and when the reversing portion comes off the guide, the reversing portion moves in the guide extending direction with respect to the non-reversing portion. A console box (Claim 1) characterized in that the console box and the cup holder are pivotally connected by a support shaft extending along the axis so as to be able to rotate by about 180 °. A console box according to claim 1 (claim 2) is provided.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments.

[0010]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention when a cup holder is used, FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing the same operation process, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the embodiment when the lid is closed, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a plan view, FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

1 to 8, reference numeral 1 denotes a console box with a cup holder according to an embodiment, 2 denotes a console box body, 3 denotes a lid, 4 denotes a depression, 5 denotes a guide, 6 denotes a guide follower, 7 denotes a sliding member, 8 Is the sliding member non-reversing part,
9 is an inverted portion of the sliding member, 11 is a cup holder of the sliding member, 12 is a cup holder of the lid body, 14 is a locking claw,
Reference numeral 15 denotes a locking claw lever, 17 denotes a hinge, 20 denotes a hollow support shaft, and 30 denotes a constant load spring.

The external appearance of the embodiment when the lid is closed as shown in FIG. 4 is not different from the conventional console box with or without a holder, and is excellent in design.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view when the lid is opened. The front opening type in which the hinge 17 is provided at the rear end of the console box is excellent in handleability. A locking claw 14 is provided at the front end of the lid. When the lid is closed, it engages with a ratchet (not shown) at the front end of the console box body 2 and is firmly fixed, so that rattling does not occur.

When the lid is opened, the locking claw lever 15
The cover can be easily opened by pushing up with a fingertip.

The operation process when used as a cup holder is in the order of FIG. 3 → FIG. 2 → FIG.

A groove-shaped depression 4 is provided at the upper part of the lid body 3, and a pair of guides 5, 5 are provided on the inner walls of the banks on both sides thereof. Member 7
Guide followers 6 and 6 that fit into the guides 5 and 5 are provided on both side surfaces.

Therefore, first, the sliding member 7 is extracted in the X1 direction (FIG. 3) to a position where only the reversing portion 9 is disengaged from the guide. Then, the cup holder 11 provided on the lower surface of the reversing portion 9 appears. Then, when the sliding member 7 is pushed again in the X2 direction, it is stopped accurately at about half the stroke by a click stop mechanism (not shown).

At this time, a cup holder 12 previously provided on the upper surface of the lid body is left in the opening in the front. Therefore, in the state of FIG. 1, one cup holder is provided on the front seat side and two cup holders are provided on the rear seat side. Depending on the vehicle interior size, two cup holders can be provided on the front seat side and up to three cup holders can be provided on the rear seat side. Further, if a retractable cup holder is provided on both sides or one side of the reversing portion, the rear seat cup holder can be added.

The cup holder itself has a 250 ml can and 350 cups.
It is also possible to use the same as the ml can by a known means such as attaching a small-diameter ring in the cup holder.

In addition, to further improve the handleability, the lid 3
If a not-so-strong constant load spring 30 is provided at the lower portion and connected to a sliding member (non-reversing portion), a suitable restoring property is generated and the function as a balancer is advantageously achieved.

When returning to the original state after use, it is sufficient to reverse the direction of FIG. 1 → FIG. 2 → FIG. 3 → FIG. The means for attaching the lid to the console box body 2 is not attached by the rear hinge as shown in FIG. It may be a double-opening type using a pair of strikers and a detachable hinge shaft fitted to them.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a hollow support shaft 20 formed from the front center portion of the reversing portion 9 is fitted and pivoted into a support hole 21 formed in the non-reversing portion 8 of the sliding member 7. ing. Therefore, if the sliding member is pulled out in the X1 direction and the reversing portion 9 is disengaged from the guides 5 and 5, it can be turned 180 °. If a well-known click stop mechanism is applied between the support shaft 20 and the support hole 21, the positioning in the rotation direction is facilitated.

[0023]

According to the present invention, all of the above objects are achieved by implementing the present invention. That is, there is provided a console box which is small in rattling when using the cup holder, is compact, has excellent handleability, is space-saving, and has an excellent appearance.
