The compression spring 36 is compressed with (Figs. 6 and 7).

As a result, the tip of the movable pin 19 slightly projects upward from the holder 29, and the roller 35 is rotatably held around the movable pin 19 by the holding portion 31 of the holder 29.
Partially exposed from one side of opening 31.

The compression spring 36 is provided so that when the depth of the cam groove 18 changes, the movable pin 19 moves up and down following the change.

The roller 35 serves to reduce the sliding resistance between the movable pin 19 and the cam groove 18, and is provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 outside the third groove 23 of the cam groove 18. along,
A sliding contact piece (38) with which the roller (35) is in sliding contact extends downward.

In this way, the pair of assembled holders 29 are mounted on the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 via the guide plate 39. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 has a front-rear width into which a portion above the protruding portion 33 of the holder 29 is fitted, and a pair of left and right laterally long fitting holes 40, 40. And a shallow guide groove 41 into which the protruding portion 33 of the holder 29 is fitted is provided at the lower edge of each fitting hole 40 (FIG. 7). Further, the guide plate 39 has a guide hole 42 that extends in a single letter laterally into which a portion below the overhanging portion 33 of the holder 29 fits, and is integrally formed of plastic.

Then, the two holders 29, 29 are arranged so that the hooking portions 34 face each other inward, and the portions above the projecting portions 33 are inserted into the fitting holes 40 of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 from below. Insert the guide plate 39 from below and insert the guide hole 42
The portion of each holder 29 below the overhanging portion 33 is fitted in and the guide plate 39 is screwed to the lower surface of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 (FIG. 5). As a result, the protruding portions 33 of the left and right holders 29 are held between the bottom of the guide groove 41 of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 and the upper surface of the guide plate 39, and the holder 29 of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 is held. It is movably held along the insertion hole 40 (FIG. 7).

Next, by locking both ends of the tension spring 20 to the hooking portions 34 of the left and right holders 29 facing each other,

The locking means 5 is composed of a heart groove 43 and a locking pin 44 that traces the heart groove 43.
Is formed at the rear end of the lower surface of the slider 3 and approximately at the center in the width direction of the slider 3, and the locking pin 44 is axially fixed to the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, the heart groove 43 is formed so as to surround a heart-shaped heart island 45.
A forward path 46 along one side of the 45, a locking portion 47 that is continuous with this forward path 46 and that follows the heart-shaped recess at the upper end of the heart island 45, and is adjacent to this locking portion 47, and the other of the heart island 45 It consists of a return path 48 along one side, and by changing the depth of each groove, the outward path 46, the locking part
The direction is 47 and then 48, which is unidirectional.

Also, at the lower end of Heart Island 45, the beginning of outgoing route 46 and the return route 48
Of the introduction groove 49 continuous to the end of the slider and opened at the rear end of the slider 3.
By making the end of the return path 48 shallower than the introduction groove 49,
The locking pin 44 introduced from the open end of the introduction groove 49 is prevented from entering the return path 48.

The locking pin 44 is fixed to the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 via the lock base 50. The lock base 50 is
As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the shaft hole through which the shaft portion 44a of the locking pin 44 passes.
51 and a relatively large rectangular opening 52 through which the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 moves, and are integrally molded of plastic.

Then, the shaft portion of the locking pin 44 is inserted into the shaft hole 51 of the lock base 50.
By passing 44a from below, the trace part 44 longer than the shaft part 44a
b projects upward from the opening 52 of the lock base 50. Next, the retaining pin 44 is retained on the lock base 50 by screwing a presser spring from below onto the lower surface of the lock base 50.

On the other hand, the lock base 50 is provided with a safety device 54 that is activated by inertial force during a vehicle collision, sudden braking, or the like. The safety device 54 is composed of a weight 55 held by the lock base 50 so as to be movable back and forth, and a coil spring 56 that normally urges the weight 55 toward the opening front surface 2 ′ of the housing 2. . As shown in FIG. 9, the weight 55 is always located outside the movement range of the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 due to the urging force of the coil spring 56. As shown in FIG. 10, the coil spring 56 is retracted against the urging force to prevent the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 from moving.

The lock base 50 in the assembled state is the locking pin.
The trace portion 44b of 44 is turned upward and screwed to the upper surface of the rear end portion of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10 (FIG. 8).

The braking means 6 includes an oil type rotary damper 57, a pinion 58 fixed to a rotary shaft of the rotary damper 57,
A rack 59 is provided along the sliding direction of the slider 3 with which the pinion 58 meshes. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the rotary damper 57 is fixed to the upper surface of the rear end portion of the bottom wall 7 of the housing body 10, and the rack 59 is vertically provided on the lower surface of the slider 3 along the sliding direction.

Next, an operation of the assembled storage device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described.

First, when the slider 3 is in the retracted state, as shown in FIG. 1, since the movable pin 19 is located in the middle of the third groove 23 of the cam groove 18, the tension spring 20 is in the extended state. There, the restoring force stored in the tension spring 20 at this time when the P ₃ is, for the third groove 23 through a movable pin 19, the driving force F ₃ of the P ₃ tan .theta ₃ This driving force F ₃ tries to move the slider 3 out of the housing 2 (FIG. 12 (c)). On the other hand, since the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 is located at the locking portion 47 of the heart groove 43, the restoring force of the tension spring 20 receives the force to push the slider 3 out of the housing 2. ing.

To pull out the slider 3 in the retracted state,
It suffices to push the front surface of the collar portion 13 toward the housing 2 a little.

In this way, when the slider 3 is pushed in, the position of the heart groove 43 is relatively displaced, whereby the trace portion 44 of the locking pin 44 is moved.
b advances from the locking portion 47 of the heart groove 43 to the return path 48, and the slider 3 is free to move.

Therefore, the slider 3 is paid out from the housing 2 by the driving force F ₃ , and at this time, the movable pin 19 relatively advances in the direction of arrow c on the third slope (FIG. 12 (c)).

As the slider 3 moves forward, the rack 59 moves forward integrally with the slider 3, whereby the pinion 58 meshing with the rack 59 rotates, and the braking force of the rotary damper 57 acts, so that the slider 3 is quietly and slowly drawn out.

Then, the movable pin 19 relatively advances in the third groove 23,
When the first intersection point 24 is reached, the first intersection point 24 is closest to the center line 1 of the slider 3, so that the first intersection point 24 is reached.
It stops at 24, and this position becomes the most advanced position of the slider 3 (Fig. 11).

On the other hand, the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44, which has advanced to the return path 48 of the heart groove 43, comes off from the return path 48 through the introduction groove 49 due to the displacement of the heart groove 43 due to the forward movement of the slider 3.

In order to store the extended slider 3 in the housing 2, the front surface of the flange portion 13 of the slider 3 may be pushed toward the housing 2.

As a result, the slider 3 retracts and the cam groove 18 is displaced, so that the movable pin 19 advances from the first intersection point 24 of the cam groove 18 to the first groove 21, and moves the first groove 21 in the direction of arrow a. It moves forward relatively (Fig. 12 (a)). Since the first groove 21 gradually moves away from the center groove of the slider 3, the movable pins 19 on both sides are
Move in directions away from each other, and the tension spring 20 gradually expands. At this time, in order to advance the movable pin 19 located at the first intersection point 24 to the first groove 21, when the spring force of the tension spring 20 is P ₁ , the driving force F ₁ of P ₁ tan θ ₁ is counteracted. Then, it is necessary to push the slider 3 in. In addition to this, as the slider 59 moves backward, the rack 59 also moves forward, the pinion 58 meshing with the rack 59 rotates, and the braking force of the rotary damper 57 acts. You need to push it in.

At this time, the pushing force of the slider 3 can be reduced by preventing the braking force of the rotary damper 57 from acting.

When the slider 3 is pushed in about 1/3, the movable pin 1
9 reaches the second intersection 25 of the cam groove 18 (Fig. 12 (b)). When the restoring force accumulated in the tension spring 20 is P ₂ , the movable pin 19 located at the second intersection 25 has P ₂ tan θ _{2 in the same} direction as the direction in which the slider 3 is pushed.
The action of the driving force F ₂ is, draw slider 3 in the housing 2 by the driving force F _2.

At that time, the rack 59 is also retracted integrally, so that the pinion 58 meshing with the rack 59 is rotated, the braking force of the rotary damper 57 is exerted, and the slider 3 is retracted quietly and slowly.

Then, as the slider 3 moves backward, the position of the heart groove 43 is displaced, so that the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 is
Since the return path 48 enters from the introduction groove 49 and the return path 48 is shallower than the introduction groove 49, it is guided to the outward path 46 and abuts against the terminal end portion 46 ′ of the outward path 46, so that the backward movement of the slider 3 is limited.

At this position, the movable pin 19 reaches the third intersection 26 of the cam groove 18, and the tension spring 20 tries to contract further, so that it moves from the third intersection 26 to the third groove 23. Therefore, the slider 3 is extended by the driving force F ₃ in the opposite direction.

As a result, the position of the heart groove 43 is displaced, so that the trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 moves backward at the terminal end portion 46 'of the forward path 46, and when the forward path 46 is further reversed, the forward path 46 is in the middle. since it is shallow from the forward path 46 can not reverse, the process proceeds to the engaging portion 47 adjacent to the end portion 46 of the forward path 46 ', stop clicks, receiving the driving force F _3.

Therefore, the slider 3 stops at a position slightly advanced from within the housing 2 (Fig. 11).

On the other hand, when the slider 3 is in the retracted state and an inertial force acts at the time of a vehicle collision or sudden braking, the slider 3 is pushed in, the lock means 5 is unlocked, and the slider 3 is removed from the housing 2. Although there is a risk of projecting, the safety device 54 operates at this time to prevent the locking means 5 from being unlocked. That is, the weight 55 retracts against the biasing force of the coil spring 56 by the inertial force,
The trace portion 44b of the locking pin 44 is prevented from moving from the locking portion 47 of the heart groove 43 to the return path 48. Therefore, the slider 3 does not project out of the housing 2 when the vehicle collides or is suddenly braked.

On the other hand, when removing the slider 3 from the housing 2,
The slider 3 may be pulled out by the above-described procedure, and the collar portion 13 of the slider 3 may be held at this position and pulled out to the front.

In this way, when the slider 3 is pulled, the movable pin 19 located at the first intersection point 25 moves along the steep angled front sloped surface 28a of the limiting portion 28, and is disengaged from the open end of the attachment / detachment groove 27.

When mounting the slider 3, the slider 3 may be pushed rearward in accordance with the opening front surface 2'of the housing 2, whereby the movable pin 19 is introduced from the open end of the attachment / detachment groove 27, and the limiting portion 28 is formed. Since the slider 3 moves along the relatively gentle rear slope 28b, it can be mounted with a lighter force than when the slider 3 is removed.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the storage device 1 for storing small articles such as coins for a vehicle is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can be widely used as a storage device for sliding trays of equipment, electric equipment, etc.

Further, although the cam groove 18 is provided on the slider 3 side and the movable pin 19 is provided on the housing 2 side, respectively, they may be reversed.

Further, although the tension spring 20 is used as the biasing means, the compression restoring force of the spring may be used, or a leaf spring or the like may be used instead of the spring.

The locking means 5 includes a heart groove 43 and the heart groove 43.
Although it is composed of the locking pin 44 for tracing the above, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to use an embossing latch and a strike that operate in the same manner, a hook and a pin, or the like to perform the unlocking operation. The release switch may be attached externally. Although the heart groove 43 is provided on the slider 3 side and the locking pin 44 is provided on the housing 2 side, the reverse may be applied.

Further, the braking means 6 is replaced with an oil type rotary damper 57.
And a pinion fixed to the rotary shaft of this rotary damper 57.
Although it is composed of the rack 58 and the rack 59 with which the pinion 58 meshes, the present invention is not limited to this, and a governor may be used instead of the oil damper 57. Alternatively, a piston-cylinder type damper may be used, and the piston rod is attached to the housing 2
The cylinder may be directly fixed to either one of the slider 3 and the slider 3, or a link mechanism may be interposed in the middle.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention is configured as described above, and has the following effects.

According to the storage device of claims 1 to 3, since the pushing device and the retracting device, which have been conventionally required, can be integrated into one mechanism, not only can the device be made compact, but also the structure can be simplified, so that the storage device can be manufactured.
