The engagement state with the engagement projection provided at the front end is a shallow engagement state in which the tips of both projections contact each other with a small area. Then, by strongly pulling out the tray body and the support body in the engaged state, the elastic piece on which the engaging projection is projected is elastically deformed, and the engaged state between the locking projection and the engaging projection is released. The tray body and the support body are pulled out further forward than in normal use.

As described above, since the tray body is pulled out forward from the normal use state, the regulation of the upward rotation of the support body by the upper wall of the unit main body is released or relaxed, and the front of the support body is released. The portion is greatly jumped up from the upper surface of the tray body, and the upper surface side of the tray body is open. Therefore, the inside of the tray body can be cleaned with good workability without the support body being in the way. In a state where the tray body is further pulled out from the normal use state, the tray body is separated from the unit body by engaging the projection formed on the tray body with the projection formed on the unit body. It is possible to prevent slipping out.

In a normal use state in which the tray body is pulled out, when the support body is simply pushed down, as described above, the locking projections and the engagement projections are still engaged, although they are shallow. When the support body is accidentally depressed when the tray body is used, the tray body is not pulled out suddenly and the support body does not jump up.

Further, as described above, the cup holder unit of the present invention is provided with an elastic piece at the front end of the unit main body, and an engaging projection is provided at the distal end of the elastic piece so that the engaging projection and the support base are provided. It is a relatively simple structure that engages with a locking projection protruding from the end and has improved cleanability. As in the case where the body is configured to be detachable from the slide body arranged in the unit body and the tray body can be removed from the unit body, the number of parts, space, There is no inconvenience such as rattling.

Further, the cup holder unit of the present invention is provided with an urging means for urging the tray body forward, as in the embodiment described later, and is provided with a push lock / push-off type latch and the like. By providing the locking means in the unit main body, the tray is automatically advanced by the urging means to protrude from the front end open surface of the unit main body by releasing the locked state by the locking means.

Claims (2)

(57) [Scope of request for utility model registration] 1. A rectangular box-shaped unit body having an open front end surface, a substantially square tray-shaped tray body is movably accommodated in the front-rear direction, and a support through which a held object such as a canned beverage is inserted at the front. The base end of the plate-shaped support body having the hole is rotatably attached to the rear end of the tray body, and the support body is urged upward. The support body is rotated by the biasing force, and the front part of the support body is lifted by a predetermined angle, and the held object is placed on the tray through the support hole of the support body in this state. Thus, in the cup holder unit in which the support body prevents the object from falling down and holds the object to be held on the tray body, a locking projection is provided on the upper surface side of the base end of the support body, and An elastic piece is provided on the inner surface side of the front end of the main body, and an engaging projection for engaging with the locking projection is formed at the tip of the elastic piece. The forward movement of the tray body is stopped by the engagement of the stop projection and the engagement projection, and the support body is held in a state where it is lifted by a predetermined angle, and the support body is pushed down from this state to pull out the tray body strongly. As a result, the elastic piece is elastically deformed to release the engagement state between the locking projection and the engagement projection, and the tray body is further pulled out, and the front end side of the support body is further lifted by the urging force, and the upper surface of the tray body is lifted. Wherein the cup holder unit is configured to be open. 2. An urging means for urging the tray body forward and a locking means for locking the tray body in the unit main body are provided, and by releasing the locked state by the locking means, the urging means is used. 2. The cup holder unit according to claim 1, wherein the tray body is automatically advanced so as to protrude from the front end open surface of the unit body.
