BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile ashtray having a lid that can be opened and closed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of ashtrays have been attached to instrument panels and the like of automobiles. Among these ashtrays, those having a structure having a cover that can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. is there. This kind of automobile ashtray 51
Has an ashtray main body 52 mounted on an instrument panel side (not shown), and a lid 54 for opening and closing an opening 53 of the ashtray main body 52. The lid 54 is rotated around an upper end thereof. It is attached to both side surfaces of the main body 52, and is configured such that the upper end portion is disposed on the upper surface side of the ashtray main body 52 when fully opened.

A packing member 55 is provided on the inner wall surface 54a of the lid 54 so as to abut on the periphery of the opening 53 of the ashtray body 52 in the closed state. The packing member 55 is attached in order to make the inside of the ashtray body 52 airtight and to perform a fire extinguishing action, and has a function as a stopper cushion when the lid 54 is closed.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional ashtray 51 for automobiles, the lid 5 is used when the ashtray 51 is used.
When the cover 4 is opened, the upper end of the lid 54 comes into contact with the upper surface of the ashtray main body 52. Therefore, a cushion member 56 dedicated to a stopper is provided on the upper surface of the ashtray main body 52.
It was necessary to absorb the impact force against the ashtray body 52 so as not to cause damage. Therefore, the automobile ashtray 51 has disadvantages in that the number of parts and the number of assembling steps are increased, the parts cost is increased, and the efficiency of the assembling work cannot be improved.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to provide an ashtray for automobiles capable of reducing the number of parts and the number of assembling steps without lowering the quality and performance. To provide.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the problems of the prior art, according to the present invention, an ashtray main body mounted on a vehicle body side and an upper end portion rotatably attached to the ashtray main body are provided. A lid for opening and closing the opening of the ashtray main body, wherein when the lid is opened, the upper end of the lid is arranged on the upper surface side of the ashtray main body; At the periphery of the inner wall surface, a packing member is provided which comes into contact with the periphery of the opening of the ashtray body when the lid is closed, and the upper surface of the ashtray body comes into contact with the upper end of the packing member when the lid is opened. A projection is provided.

[0007]

[Operation] In the automobile ashtray of the present invention, a packing member is provided on the periphery of the inner wall surface of the lid, and the packing member is attached to the periphery of the opening of the ashtray body when the lid is closed, and the ashtray body when the lid is opened. Respectively, the three functions of the airtight function and the stopper cushion function at the time of opening and closing of the lid can be achieved by only one part of the packing member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

FIGS. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an ashtray for a car which is mounted in a vehicle interior. The ashtray 1 for a car is an instrument panel (not shown). An ashtray main body 2 detachably attached to the side and the like, and a lid 3 whose upper end is rotatably attached to the ashtray main body 2. Is configured to open and close.

The ashtray main body 2 is formed in a box shape having an opening 4 at one end side. The ashtray main body 2 is inclined obliquely downward toward the front of the vehicle body in a state where the opening 4 is located inside the vehicle compartment. Are located. A pivot pin 5 for supporting the lid 3 is attached to both left and right sides of the ashtray body 2.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a projection 6 extending in the width direction is integrally formed on the upper surface of the ashtray main body 2 over the entire width. Is provided at a position where it comes into contact with an upper end portion of a packing member to be described later at the time of opening. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a fire extinguishing plate
Is provided.

On the other hand, the lid 3 covers the opening 4 of the ashtray body 2 in a state where the ashtray 1 is not used.
The ashtray main body 2 is formed so as to be larger than the opening 4, and is arranged such that an upper portion protrudes upward from an upper surface of the ashtray main body 2 at the time of assembly. Also, the inner wall surface 3 of the lid 3
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, mounting pieces 8, 9 pivotally supported by the ashtray body 2 are integrally provided on the left and right sides located at the upper portion of the upper part a. Mounting holes 10 and 11 into which the support pins 5 are inserted are formed. Thus, the lid 3 is rotatably connected to the ashtray main body 2 via the mounting pieces 8, 9 and the pivot pin 5, and when opened, the upper end of the lid 3 is arranged on the upper surface side of the ashtray main body 2. It is configured to open upward. The lid 3 is constantly urged in the closing direction by a spring (not shown) except when it is fully opened.

A packing member 12 is attached to the periphery of the inner wall surface 3a of the lid 3 to make the inside of the ashtray body 2 airtight to extinguish the fire and to act as a stopper cushion when the lid 3 is opened and closed. I have. For this reason, the packing member 1
Numeral 2 is arranged in a shape corresponding to the opening 4 of the ashtray main body 2, and when the lid 3 is in the closed state, the entire peripheral end abuts on the periphery of the opening 4 of the ashtray main body 2. In the open state, the upper end is configured to abut on the protrusion 5 of the ashtray body 2.

In the ashtray 1 for a vehicle according to this embodiment, when the lid 3 is turned upward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2) to open the ashtray 1, the upper end of the lid 3 is closed. , As shown by the chain line in FIG. Accordingly, the upper end portion of the packing member 12 comes into contact with the protrusion 6, so that the packing member 12 functions as a stopper cushion of the lid 3 when the packing member 12 is opened.

After using the ashtray 1 for an automobile, the cover 3 is turned downward and closed to close the inner wall 3a of the cover 3.
Are arranged to cover the opening 4 of the ashtray body 2 as shown by the solid line in FIG. At this time, since the entire peripheral end of the packing member 12 abuts on the periphery of the opening 4 of the ashtray body 2, the packing member 12 functions as a stopper cushion of the lid 3 when the ashtray body is closed, and the inside of the ashtray body 2 is closed. It functions as a sealing material to make it airtight.

As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the protrusions 6 may be partially provided on the upper surface of the ashtray member 2 at intervals.

[0017]

As described above, the ashtray for automobiles according to the present invention has a packing member provided on the periphery of the inner wall surface of the lid whose upper end is disposed on the upper surface side of the ashtray body when opened. When the body is closed and opened, it comes into contact with the periphery of the opening of the ashtray body and the projection, respectively, so that the packing member fulfills three functions of a sealing function and a stopper cushion function when opening and closing the lid. Therefore, the stopper cushion member dedicated to opening the lid required for the conventional ashtray can be eliminated without lowering the quality and performance. Therefore, according to the automobile ashtray of the present invention, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, so that the parts cost can be reduced and the efficiency of the assembling operation can be improved.
