Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

Industrial Applicability The present invention is arranged at the outlet of an air conditioner installed in an automobile or the like, and uses hot or cold air from the outlet to heat a beverage in a container placed there. The present invention relates to a beverage container holder to be cooled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a holder of this kind has been arranged in front of an outlet, and is used for placing a beverage container such as a can on the holder and cooling or warming the beverage. As shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 3-82232, the holder includes a mounting fixture for hanging on a fin of an air-conditioning outlet, and a holder body for positioning the mounting fixture on the rear surface and connecting the mounting fixture in and out. And warm air or cold air was introduced from the rear opening of the holder body.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the holder described above, the air in the holder body where the beverage container is placed is easily retained, and the warm air or the cool air from the outlet is hard to enter the holder body. There was an inconvenience of becoming. Also, in general, even when the beverage container is not used and not used, the holder is not removed from the outlet and remains attached. For this reason, the flow of the blown hot air or cold air is likely to be greatly disturbed, and it is necessary to provide an opening / closing member that can open the front surface of the holder body and close the opening, and have to open the opening / closing member.

[0004] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention makes it possible for hot and cold air from the air outlet to flow smoothly after entering the holder main body, and for the air to be blown even when the holder is not used. It is an object of the present invention to make the beverage flow out of the holder without largely disturbing, and to obtain a better beverage container holder.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is provided at a front portion of an air-conditioning outlet in a vehicle compartment, and a mounting fixture attached to the air-conditioning outlet. A beverage container holder comprising a holder body to which an attachment fixture is connected so as to be able to be taken in and out, wherein the front opening part is provided at a front opening part of the holder body so as to be rotatable around a lower part to a lower front part of the holder body. Louvers biased in the closing direction of
A beverage container holder characterized in that the louver and the holder body are provided so as to be able to hold the beverage container placed on the holder body in a sandwiched state, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem.

[0006]

In the present invention, the beverage container is held by the holder body and the louver located at the front opening of the holder body. Then, the warm air or cool air entering the holder body flows forward from the opening of the louver.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on one embodiment shown in FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a beverage container holder. As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 1 has a mounting fixture 2 attached to the air-conditioning outlet A and this mounting fixture 2.
And a holder main body 3 which is connected so as to be able to be taken in and out. The mounting fixture 2 has a pair of clips 20 at the rear for sandwiching the fins B of the air-conditioning outlet A, and left and right arms 21 bent downward in an L-shape are integrated at a bottom 22. A locking plate 23 extends forward, and a locking portion 24 is provided on the distal end side of the locking plate 23.

On the other hand, the holder body 3 has a rear side, an upper side,
The front side is open, warm air and cold air enter from the rear opening 30, and a beverage container such as a can enters from the upper opening 31. The louver 4 is attached to the front opening 32. The louver 4 has a plurality of fins 40 in the upper and lower stages, and the space between the fins 40 is a ventilation port.
The lower portion of the louver 4 is pivotally supported by the holder body 3 and is provided to be rotatable forward and lower. Further, a spring 5 is disposed in front of the pivot portion between the bottom plate portion 41 of the louver 4 and the holder main body 3 so that the louver 4 is urged in a direction to close the front opening 32 (FIG. 1).
1). Due to the urging of the louver 4, the beverage container C placed on the holder main body 3 from the upper surface open portion 31 is sandwiched between the upper edge of the louver 4 and the upper edge of the upper surface open portion 31, as shown in FIG. When the beverage container C is a thick can, the beverage container C is received and held with the louver 4 inclined forward as shown in FIG.

Since the louver 4 is provided in the front opening 32 of the holder body 3 as described above, even when the beverage container is placed or not used, warm air entering from the back opening is used. The cool air does not stay in the holder main body and escapes from the ventilation hole of the louver 4 to the front. In the illustrated embodiment, each of the fins 40 of the louver 4 is fixed, but a configuration in which the fins are rotated up and down is also possible.

The inclination of the outlet to which the holder 1 is attached varies depending on the vehicle. To make the holder 1 disposed at the outlet substantially horizontal, the mounting fixture 2 is inserted and removed as described above. Then, the fins B are gripped by the clips 20, and the lower rear portion of the holder body 3 is brought into contact with the outlet A (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 5, the locking portion 24 on the distal end side of the locking plate 23 is locked in one of the plurality of locking recesses 33 provided on the back surface of the holder main body 3, and is attached to the holder main body. 2 is performed, and a rib 21a protruding inward along the upper end of the arm portion 21 is slidably in contact with the upper end of a guide wall 34 inside the holder body 3, and the rib 21a The guide body 34 holds the holder body 3 from above and below so as not to rattle.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, a mounting fixture which is disposed in front of an air-conditioning outlet in a vehicle cabin and is attached to the air-conditioning outlet is connected to the mounting fixture so that the mounting fixture can be taken in and out. In the beverage container holder comprising the holder main body to be provided, the holder main body is rotatably provided to the front lower part of the holder main body with the lower part as the center of rotation at the front opening part of the holder body and is urged in the closing direction of the front opening part. Since the louver is arranged and the louver and the holder body are provided so as to be able to hold the beverage container placed on the holder body in a sandwiched state, regardless of the use or non-use of the holder, from the air outlet of the air conditioner. Hot and cold air that has entered the holder body will flow forward through the louver, and at the time of its use, it will warm the beverage efficiently,
As well as being able to cool, it does not greatly disturb the flow of hot or cold air when not in use,
This is an effect that is excellent in practicality.
