DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle cup holder device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional vehicle cup holder device, there is one shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-109740).

[0003] The center console 1 is provided with a shift lever 2, and a recess 3 for storing small items is provided in front of the shift lever 2. The front side of the center console 1 is a rising portion 4, and a small case 5, a cup holder device 6, and an ashtray 7 are arranged in this order on the surface of the rising portion 4 on the R side in the passenger compartment (occupant compartment). Provided. The cup holder device 6 has a storage portion 9 formed in the rising portion 4 with the opening 8 facing the interior R side of the vehicle, and a U-shaped cross section stored in the storage portion 9 so as to be slidable back and forth. Holder base 10 and a base end 11
and a pair of left and right holder bodies 11 which are respectively opened to the left and right around the center a and are rotatably mounted. The peripheral edge of each base end 11a of each holder main body 11 is formed with gear teeth meshing with each other, so that each holder main body 11 is opened to the left and right sides at the same angle.
Further, a spring 12 for urging each holder body 11 outward is provided between one holder body 11 and the holder base 10. Since the base ends 11a are in the meshing state as described above, the urging force of the spring 12 extends to the other holder body 11.

A front flange 13 is formed at the tip of the holder body 11 in consideration of the appearance when not in use. That is, when not in use, when the holder main body 11 is stored in the storage section 9, the front flange 13 covers the opening 8 of the storage section 9.

In use, when the holder base 10 is pulled out to the vehicle interior R side in front, both holder main bodies 11 are expanded right and left by the urging force of the spring 12 to form a V-shape as viewed from above, The receiving part 14 at the tip of the storage part 9
Are located outside of the opening 8 of each. Then, a container C such as a can is placed on the receiving portion 14 and used as a cup holder. Thus, when each holder body 11 is viewed from above, V
The opening in the shape of a letter and the securing of an empty space between the two holder bodies 11 prevent interference with the shift lever 2 and enable the use of the ashtray 7 directly below the cup holder device 6. That's why.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional cup holder device 6, the holder body 11 must be expanded to the left and right sides at the same time as it is pulled out to the use position. Since there is a possibility of causing an interference problem or the like, the structure of the base end portion 11a with gear teeth and the spring 12 for expanding the holder body 11 to the left and right is indispensable, and the overall structure of the device itself is inevitably complicated. I have to do it.

In addition, the holder base 1 of the holder body 11
Since the base end portion 11a, which is the base portion with respect to 0, is a pivot point, the mounting strength of both holder bodies 11 to the holder base 10 is low, and the holding of the container C may be unstable.

Further, since the diameter of the receiving portion 14 is determined, the container C having a size corresponding to the diameter of the receiving portion 14 can be reliably held, but the container C whose size does not match the receiving portion 14 is held. In this case, the container C rattles in the receiving portion 14 and becomes unstable.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional technique, and provides a vehicle cup holder device having a simple structure and capable of securely holding according to the size of a container. It is.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle cup holder device according to the present invention includes a case fixed to a vehicle with an opening facing an occupant compartment, and a case back. The pair of left and right holder bases provided in the case and the holder base at the storage position are constantly urged toward the case opening side in a state in which the holder base can be horizontally moved from the storage position to the use position on the case opening side. First biasing means, and a first curved edge projecting from the case opening toward the passenger compartment at the use position and supporting a part of the side surface of the container at an outer end are formed, and a holder base is formed at an open end of each holder base. A first holder piece integrally attached at a position separated from an inner end of the first holder piece, and a vertically movable and horizontally rotatable attachment to a pivot base set on the holder base or the first holder piece; A second curved edge supporting the side surface of the cup or the like is formed in cooperation with the first curved edge, and a part thereof abuts on the first vertical surface set on the holder base or the first holder piece at the time of ascending in the use position. In the first expanded state in which the angle is expanded to the outside of the case opening by a certain angle, and at the time of descending, a part of the second vertical surface set in a stepped state at a position inside the first vertical surface is contacted with the second vertical surface. A second expanded state having a wider angle than the first expanded state, and a second holder piece that is vertically overlapped with the first holder piece inside the case opening at the storage position,
A second urging means for urging the holder piece in a direction to expand the holder piece outward from the case opening, a third urging means for urging the second holder piece upward, and the first urging means. A locking means for preventing horizontal movement of the holder base to the case opening side by a strong force and releasing the blocking by a releasing means.

Here, the "vehicle" may be an automobile, a railway vehicle, a ship, an airplane or the like. The term “fixed to a vehicle” refers to the case where the vehicle is fixed to the vehicle itself (a vehicle body in the case of an automobile) and the case where the equipment (e.g., an instrument panel or a seat in the case of a vehicle) is attached to the vehicle. When fixed, it means both. Also, "horizontal"
This does not mean that strict levelness is required,
It is sufficient that the degree of horizontality is such that the container can be held without any trouble.
Further, "container" refers to the broad concept including cans, bottles, cups, and other containers.

[0012]

According to the vehicle cup holder device of the present invention,
Since the first holder pieces are integrally mounted at positions on the opening side ends of the respective holder bases and separated from the inner ends of the holder bases, the holder bases are horizontally moved to the use position and the first holder pieces are moved. By the time the piece is projected into the passenger compartment, the first holder piece has already been offset to an outside position where it cannot interfere with the shift lever or the like. That is, even if both the left and right first holder pieces are projected into the passenger compartment, an empty space corresponding to the separated length is always secured between the first holder pieces. It is not necessary to pull out the holder piece to the use position and open and rotate it to the left and right sides at the same time as in the related art. Therefore, unlike the related art, there is no need to provide a meshing mechanism using gear teeth and a spring mechanism as essential structures, so that the structure is simplified.

When the second holder piece is raised by the third urging means, a part of the second holder piece abuts on the first vertical surface set on the holder base or the first holder piece and is expanded by a predetermined angle. Since the first expansion state is set, the container corresponding to the expansion angle can be held. Then, when trying to hold a container of a large size that cannot be held in the first expanded state, the container is placed on the second holder piece, and the second holder piece then descends against the third urging means. Then, a portion of the second holder piece abuts on a second vertical surface set in a stepped state inside the first vertical surface this time, and the second expanded portion has a wider angle than the first expanded state. Since the container is opened, the large container can be held. As described above, since the angle of expansion of the second holder piece at the use position can be changed, reliable holding according to the size of the container becomes possible.

Further, since the second holder piece is provided on the first holder piece or the holder base horizontally moved to the use position so as to be horizontally rotatable, the first holder piece is projected into the passenger compartment. After that, the second holder piece is opened outward, and the curved edges of the first holder piece and the second holder piece can support the side surface of the cup or the like. It is preferable that the second holder piece be automatically expanded outward when the holder base is pulled out. However, unlike the conventional case, the second holder piece does not necessarily have to be expanded outward at the same time as the drawer is pulled out. In addition, since the first holder piece of the first and second holder pieces is integrally fixed to the holder base, the mounting strength to the holder base is high, and the container can be stably held.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, X is the horizontal direction, Y is
Is described as the front-back direction.

1 to 8 show an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 15 denotes a case, which is not shown, but is horizontally mounted in the rising portion of the center console of the vehicle as in the conventional example. A pair of left and right openings 16 are formed on the front surface of the case 15, and a flange 17 is formed around the opening 16 so as to protrude vertically and horizontally. The upper part of the case 15 has an open structure in which only the upper surface part 18 is left on the front side and the left and right sides,
A left-right symmetric guide slot 19 is formed in the upper surface portion 18. The guide elongated holes 19 are linear in the front-rear direction at the left and right outer positions of the upper surface portion 18, but are curved inward at the front sides thereof. A pin 21 protrudes from the upper surface portion 18 of the case 15 near the extreme end of the front curved portion 20 of the elongated guide hole 19.

At the center of the bottom surface of the case 15, a rack 22 having gear teeth at the left and right ends is attached. In addition, a hook body 23 is provided behind the bottom surface in a state in which the tip is vertically formed upright. The center portion of the hook body 23 is sandwiched between the rear end portion 22a of the rack 22 and the projection 24, and a rubber base 25 is provided below both end portions. 15 are held down by claw portions 26 integrally formed on the bottom surface portion. Furthermore,
A guide projection 27 extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the side surface of the case 15.
(See FIG. 3).

The left and right openings 16 of the case 15
Inside, a holder base 29 with a first holder piece 28 and a second holder piece 30 are provided so as to be horizontally movable in the front-rear direction. Since the shape and structure of the holder base 29 and the holder pieces 28 and 30 provided in the left and right openings 16 are symmetrical, only the structure on the left side will be described below as a representative. The reference numerals of the respective parts in FIG. 1 are also given only to the structure on the left side.

Near the center of the rear end of the holder base 29,
A take-up roller 31 is provided. This winding roller 31
Is connected to a rear end of a spring 32 as a "first biasing means" having a front end fixed to a front position of the upper surface portion 18. The winding roller 31 causes the spring 32 to move to the rear end. It can be wound from the department. Since the mainspring 32 has an elastic force so as to be wound, the holder base 29 is pushed into the inner side of the case 15,
When the spring 32 is extended, a forward biasing force is exerted on the holder base 29 due to the elastic restoring force of the spring 32.

At the outer position of the winding roller 31, a stopper 33 is formed which is surrounded by cutouts on the three rear sides.
The stopper 33 projects upward and abuts and engages with the front end of the upper surface portion 18 of the case 15 during horizontal movement toward the opening 16.

On the lower surface of the holder base 29 further outside the stopper 33, there is a heart cam 34 having a heart-shaped groove. The tip of the hook body 23 is inserted into the heart cam 34 when the holder base 29 is pushed inward. When the holder base 29 is first pushed in, the tip of the hook body 23
After going around from the rear end to the outside, it enters the pocket portion corresponding to the bottom of the front V-shaped portion. The state in which the tip enters the pocket portion is the locked state in the storage position, and the horizontal movement of the holder base 29 forward is restricted. Then, when the holder base 29 is pushed again, the tip of the hook body 23 comes out of the pocket, goes around the inside of the heart cam 34, then comes off from the rear end, and the locked state is released.

The reason why the tip of the hook body 23 wraps around the inside of the heart cam 34 only in the determined direction is that the cutting depth of the heart cam 34 is changed. That is, at the rear end of the heart cam 34, the outer side is engraved deeper than the inner side, and in the front pocket part, the inner side is deeper than the outer side. In addition, heart cam 34
In the outer part, the first part is deeper, but gradually becomes shallower toward the front side, and in the inner part, the vicinity of the first pocket part is deeper, but gradually shallower toward the rear side. Therefore, when the tip of the hook body 23 tries to enter the heart cam 34 from the rear end, it always goes to the outside part, and when it goes out of the pocket part, it always goes to the inside part. Therefore, when the holder base 29 is first pushed in, the locked state is established, and in the next pushing, the locked state is released. In other words, the heart cam 34 and the tip of the hook body 23 that moves along the heart cam 34 constitute a so-called push-push type "locking means" which also has a releasing means at the same time.

As shown in FIG. 3, the inner portion of the holder base 29 is in a state of being turned downward, and a damper 35 is fixed to this portion. The damper 35 is provided with gear teeth that rotate in a state where a certain resistance force slightly smaller than the urging force of the mainspring spring 32 is applied. The gear teeth are engaged with the gear teeth of the rack 22. ing.
Therefore, the damper 35 applies a certain resistance to the horizontal movement of the holder base 29. On the other hand, a concave portion 36 is formed outside the holder base 29 so as to slidably engage with the guide convex portion 27 of the case 15. Therefore, the holder base 29 is configured such that the concave portion 36 and the damper 35 are engaged with the corresponding guide convex portions 27 and the rack 22 respectively, and the storage position on the back side of the case 15 and the use position on the opening 16 side are different. It can be moved back and forth horizontally between

The front part of the holder base 29 is one step lower, and a front end (opening end) 37 of the holder base 29 is integrally formed with a first holder piece 28 projecting from the opening 16 to the vehicle interior R side at the use position. It is formed in. A first curved edge 38 that supports a part of the side surface of the container C is formed outside the first holder piece 28. The first holder piece 28 is formed at a position separated from the inner end 39 of the holder base 29 by a predetermined length D. Further, on the upper surface of the first holder piece 28, near the rear end of the first curved edge 38,
A pin 40 as a “rotation fulcrum” protrudes.

The first curved edge 3 is formed between the front portion 20 of the holder base 29 and the outer portion of the first holder piece 28.
A portion other than 8 is provided with a first vertical surface 71 and a second vertical surface 72 formed in a downward step shape. The second vertical surface 72 is located inside the first vertical surface 71 and at a position lower than the first vertical surface 71.

On the other hand, the second holder piece 30 is attached to the pin 40 so as to be horizontally rotatable. This second holder piece 3
A front flange 41 for covering the opening 16 during storage and for performing a push operation is provided at the front end of the zero.
A second curved edge 42 for supporting the side surface of the container C in cooperation with the first curved edge 38 is provided at an inner end of the second holder piece 30.
Are formed. The second holder piece 30 has a second
A hole 43 into which the pin 40 is inserted is formed in the vicinity of the rear end of the curved edge 42, and the rear end of the hole 43 is engaged with the elongated guide hole 19 formed in the upper surface 18 of the case 15. A guide pin 44 protrudes. The pin 40 is provided with a spring 73 as a “third urging means”, and urges the second holder piece 30 upward, so that the second holder piece 3
0 is raised above the first holder piece 28.

Further, below the portion of the second holder piece 30 where the hole 43 is provided, a horizontal part 74 as a “part” which enters under the holder base 29 and the first holder piece 28 is provided. The provided contact piece 75 having an L-shaped cross section is integrally formed. At the rear end of the horizontal portion 74 of the contact piece 75, an oblique side 74a is formed so as to freely contact the first vertical surface 71 and the second vertical surface 72 described above.

The tip of the guide pin 44 projecting upward from the guide slot 19 and the upper surface 1 of the case 15
A spring 45 as “second urging means” is applied between the pin 21 and the pin 21 protruding from the second holder piece 8.
It is always urged forward in 9.

[0029] As the expanded state of the second holder member 30, the second expansion for holding a first expanded state for holding the can container C ₁ in 250cc size, the can container C ₂ of 350cc size Two states, an open state, are obtained. In the first expanded state, the oblique side 74 a of the contact piece 75 of the second holder piece 30 raised by the spring 73 abuts on the first vertical surface 71 and is fixed outside the opening 16 of the case 15. This is a state where the angle is expanded. In addition, the second expanded state refers to the contact piece 7 of the second holder piece 30 in which the second holder piece 30 has been pushed down and brought into a lowered state.
5 is a state in which the oblique side 74a is in contact with the second vertical surface 72 and is expanded to the outside of the opening 16 at a wider angle than in the first expanded state. That is, the first holder member 28 at a suitable expansion angle in a first expansion state holds the can container C ₁ in 250cc
Opposed to, so that the second expanded state is opposed by suitable spreading angles to the first holder member 28 to hold the can container C ₂ of 350 cc.

Further, a pair of left and right perforated mounting pieces 46 are provided on the lower surface of the front portion, which is one step lower than the holder base 29.
Is formed downward. The base pin 48 of the bottom support piece 47 is rotatably inserted into the hole of the mounting piece 46. The bottom support piece 47 falls down by its own weight at the position where the holder base 29 is used, and can support the bottom surface of the container C with the horizontal receiving surface portion 49 at the front end. Since the second holder piece 30 expands outward and holds the container C at a position substantially outside the opening 16 of the case 15, the receiving surface portion 49 of the bottom support piece 47 is bent outward in an L shape. It is set so that the corner 49a is located at the center of the bottom of the container C which is just held.

Next, a method of using the cup holder device according to this embodiment will be described. When not in use, as shown in the right half of FIG. 1, the holder base 29 is locked in the storage position at the back of the case 15. This locked state is maintained by engagement between the heart cam 34 and the tip of the hook body 23. In this stored state, the guide pin 44 of the second holder piece 30 is located at the rear end of the guide slot 19,
The holder piece 30 itself is in a state of being overlapped on the first holder piece 28. An extended spring 45 extends between the guide pin 44 of the second holder piece 30 and the pin 21 of the upper surface 18 of the case 15 in this state,
In addition, the second holder piece 30 is in a state of being raised by a spring 73 provided on the pin 40 which is a rotation fulcrum.

Now, when using, first, the second
The front flange 41 of the holder piece 30 is pushed. Then, since the holder base 29 is slightly pushed into the inner side of the case 15, the tip of the hook body 23 comes off the pocket portion of the heart cam 34, and the locked state between the heart cam 34 and the tip of the hook body 23 is released. Then, the spring 32 that has been forcibly stretched in the retracted state is wound around the winding roller 31 in order to return to the winding state. As a result, horizontal movement to the opening 16 side starts. At this time, the gear teeth of the damper 35 fixed to the holder base 29 mesh with the gear teeth of the rack 22, so that the strong restoring force of the mainspring 32 is appropriately reduced by the resistance force of the damper 35, and Even if the user immediately releases his hand after pressing 41, the holder base 29 itself moves horizontally forward at a constant speed.

The horizontal movement of the holder base 29 to the front side is as follows.
The stopper 33 formed on the upper surface of the holder base 29 stops when it comes into contact with the front end of the upper surface portion 18 of the case 15. When the holder base 29 is horizontally moved to the use position on the opening 16 side in this way, the first holder piece 28 is in a state of protruding toward the vehicle cabin R side, and the bottom support piece 47 is provided.
Falls down to the optimum inclination angle due to its own weight. An intermediate position of the bottom support piece 47 abuts on the lower side of the opening 16, and further downward tilting is restricted.

The second holder piece 30 is also the holder base 2.
With the movement of 9 forward, it is automatically expanded outward. That is, the guide pins 4 of the second holder piece 30
Since the guide pin 44 is engaged in the guide elongated hole 19 of the case 15, the guide pin 44 moves forward in the guide elongated hole 19 with the forward movement of the holder base 29, and then the front side of the guide elongated hole 19. It moves inward along the curved portion 20.
The movement of the guide pin 44 is smoothly performed by the spring 45 extended between the guide pin 44 and the guide pin 44. When the guide pin 44 moves to the end of the front curved portion 20, the second holder piece 3 is moved around the pin 40 serving as a rotation fulcrum.
On the other hand, the main part of “0” starts to rotate to a position protruding outside the opening 16.

Since the second holder piece 30 is lifted by the spring 73, the oblique side 74 a of the contact piece 75 of the second holder piece 30 that has turned outward is aligned with the first vertical surface 71 of the holder base 29. Contact first. This first vertical surface 71
When the oblique side 74a comes into contact with the second holder piece 30, the horizontal rotation of the second holder piece 30 to the outside is stopped, and the first holder piece 30 enters the first expanded state. This first
In the expanded state, the second curved edge 42 of the second holder piece 30 and the first curved edge 38 of the first holder piece 28 face each other in an approaching state that forms a non-circular contour. Rim 38
When placed in the can container C ₁ in 250cc between the second curved edge 42, by placing the bottom on the receiving face 49 of the bottom support piece 47, the holding is made containers of this size. In this embodiment, since the first holder piece 28 is formed integrally with the holder base 29, the mounting strength of the first holder piece 28 to the holder base 29 is high, and as a result,
It is possible to stably hold containers such as cups.

As described above, even when the container C is held, the first holder piece 28 is formed at a position separated (offset) by the length D from the inner end 39 of the holder base 29. An empty space having a length twice as long as the length D is always formed between the two first holder pieces 28, and there is no risk of causing an interference problem with the shift lever and the like, and the lower position of the case 15 It is also possible to use an ashtray (not shown) which is usually provided in the apparatus. Therefore,
There is no need to forcibly open the first holder piece 28 to the outside simultaneously with the horizontal movement as in the conventional case, and the structure becomes very simple.

Next, a 350 cc can C_TwoHold
However, as described above, the first
The holder piece 28 and the second holder piece 30 each have a capacity of 250 cc.
Container C ₁Because it comes out at an expansion angle that matches
