[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a vehicle article support tool of this type, for example, disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2566783, there is a vehicle article support stand 1 shown in FIG. The article support stand 1 for a vehicle is roughly composed of a socket cap 3, a ball pin 5, a head 7, and a tightening screw ring 9.

The socket cap 3 has a substantially cylindrical gap, and is provided on a small diameter section 3a formed by narrowing the inner diameter near one side opening of the gap and on the outer peripheral surface near the other opening of the gap. And a notch 3c provided in a side wall surrounding the small diameter portion 3a along the axial direction from one side opening.

The ball pin 5 is housed in the socket cap 3 and has a sphere 5 a having a diameter that cannot be removed from one side opening, and extends from the sphere 5 a and projects out of the socket cap 3 from one side opening. And a supporting pin 5b.

[0005] The head 7 has a support portion 7a at the tip which enters the socket cap 3 from the other side opening and comes into contact with the sphere 5a, and has a screw portion 7b formed on one half of the outer peripheral surface exposed outside the socket cap 3. Is formed.

The tightening screw ring 9 is rotatably fitted to the socket cap 3 and is engaged with the protruding edge 3 b to be screwed into the screw portion 7 b of the head 7. The ball pin 5 and the head 7 are configured to be fixable to the article 15 side or the vehicle 17 side via attachment portions 11 and 13, respectively.

In the vehicle article support stand 1, when the direction of the article 15 is determined and the tightening screw ring 9 is tightened, the sphere 5 a is pressed by the support part 7 a and the small diameter part 3 a of the socket cap 3, Had to be fixed.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the above-described conventional vehicle article support (vehicle article support stand 1), the ball pin 5, the socket cap 3, the head 7, and the tightening screw ring 9 are arranged on the same rotation axis. When the tightening screw ring 9 is rotated to perform the tightening, the ball pin 5 and the socket cap 3 can be relatively rotated, and the tightening screw ring 9 and the socket cap 3 or the socket cap 3 and the ball pin 5 can be rotated. They move in the same direction due to friction. For this reason, in order to determine the direction of the article 15, it is necessary to rotate the tightening screw ring 9 with one hand while holding the article 15 with the other hand, which requires operation with both hands. There was a problem of poor operability.

Further, since the sphere 5a is clamped by the projecting support portion 7a and the small diameter portion 3a of the socket cap 3, a large contact area for clamping the sphere 5a cannot be secured, and a high fixing force is obtained. Could not get. Therefore, when an inertia force acts on the article 15 due to the vibration or impact of the vehicle 17 or a part of a body (a hand or the like) comes into contact with the article 15 carelessly, the pinch of the socket cap 3 and the support portion 7a is pressed. There is a risk that the sphere 5a slides against the object and the article 15 moves. In the case where a monitor such as a television or a navigation system is supported as the article 15, since the monitor has recently become large (about 6 inches), a secure fixing force can be obtained with a conventional vehicle article support. I can't.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and is intended for a vehicle in which the direction of an article is not changed by one-handed tightening and loosening operation, and the direction of the article can be fixed with a high fixing force. The object of the present invention is to provide an article support and improve operability and position fixing performance.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a vehicle article support according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle article support according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view taken along arrow AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a view taken along arrow BB of FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a side view showing the use state of the vehicle article support according to the present invention.

In the vehicle article support 21 of the present embodiment, a base plate 23 as a substrate is bonded and fixed to a support surface 22 (see FIG. 5) in the vehicle via a double-sided adhesive 25. . On the base plate 23, a column 27 having a cylindrical shape with a different diameter whose upper end is a large outer diameter portion 27 a is erected perpendicularly to the base plate 23. The support 27 has a bottom surface fixed to the base plate 23 with screws 29 penetrating the base plate 23.

As shown in FIG. 2, the support columns 27 are arranged to be offset to one end of the base plate 23. One end of the base plate 23 is a front portion 23a, and the opposite side of the support 27 is a rear portion 23b. Therefore, the area of the base plate 23 is formed so as to be larger on the rear portion 23b side than on the front portion 23a side with the support column 27 as a boundary.

A plurality of slits 23 c are formed in the rear portion 23 b of the base plate 23 radially around the support column 27. The periphery of the base plate 23 is divided by the slits 23c, so that some elevation of the support surface 22 can be absorbed. That is, the base plate 23 can be fixed to the support surface 22 other than the flat surface. A screw hole 23d is formed in the periphery of the base plate 23. The base plate 23 can be fixed to the support surface 22 by cooperating with a screw (not shown) inserted into the screw hole 23d and the double-sided adhesive 25, or by using only the screw.

On the other hand, a sphere 31 a is continuously provided at a base end of a shaft 31 used for attaching a vehicle article. Further, a support fixing portion 33 for attaching a vehicle article is provided at a tip of the shaft 31. Examples of the vehicle article include a monitor 35 (see FIG. 5) such as a television and a navigation system. The support fixing portion 33 includes a rail guide 33a screwed to the tip of the shaft 31, a knob 33b screwed into a male screw 31b formed on the outer periphery of the shaft end, and a knob 33b and the rail guide 33a. And a sheet plate 33c disposed therebetween.

The support fixing portion 33 inserts the rail guide 33 a into a rail groove 35 a formed in the monitor 35, and rotates the knob 33 b to tighten the rail guide 33 a in a direction approaching the monitor 35 so that the rail guide 33 a and the seat plate are The monitor 35 can be attached to the tip of the shaft 31 by sandwiching the opening edge 35b of the rail groove 35a between the monitor 35 and the shaft 33c.

The above-mentioned support column 27 and the sphere 31 a of the shaft 31 are arranged between a ball cap 37 as a pair of holding members. As shown in FIG. 4, the ball cap 37 is formed with a column accommodation recess 37a for accommodating a substantially semicircle of the large outer diameter portion 27a and a sphere accommodation recess 37b for accommodating a substantially hemisphere of the sphere 31a. It is formed.

The pair of ball caps 37 receive the large-diameter portion 27 a and the sphere 31 a in the column receiving recess 37 a and the sphere receiving recess 37 b, respectively, and face each other with a gap 39 therebetween. Therefore, the column 27 and the sphere 31a are held irremovably from each other via the ball cap 37. Before the pair of ball caps 37 is tightened with a predetermined force by a female screw built-in knob 43 described later, the ball caps 37 are rotatable around the axis of the support column 27, and the sphere 31a is It becomes movable within 37b.

The ball cap 37 has a notch 37c formed across the walls forming the sphere housing recess 37b. The notch 37c is formed with a width substantially equal to the diameter of the shaft 31 so that the shaft 31 can enter. In other words, the shaft 31 can be arranged horizontally by rotating the sphere 31a in the sphere housing recess 37b and entering the notch 37c, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

Further, in the ball cap 37, a plurality of linear projections 37 d (see FIG. 4) in the same direction as the axis of the column 27 are formed in the circumferential direction on the inner circumferential surface of the column accommodation recess 37 a. ing. The line convex strip 37d is partially formed on the inner peripheral surface of the column accommodating recess 37a in FIG. 4, but may be formed along the entire inner peripheral surface of the column accommodating concave 37a. A plurality of linear ridges 27b in the same direction as the axis of the column 27 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the large outer diameter portion 27a of the column 27 in the circumferential direction, forming a so-called knurl.

A male screw 41 penetrates a pair of ball caps 37 opposed to each other with the support 27 and the sphere 31 a interposed therebetween in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the support 27. The male screw 41 has a hexagonal head 41 a, for example, and its rotation is regulated by engaging with a hexagonal recess provided outside the ball cap 37. Note that the male screw 41 does not interfere with the sphere 31a when penetrating the pair of ball caps 37.

A female screw built-in knob 43 having a built-in female screw 43a is screwed into a tip of a male screw 41 protruding through the ball cap 37. The female screw built-in knob 43 is screwed to the male screw 41 to tighten the pair of ball caps 37, thereby clamping and fixing the large outer diameter portion 27a of the column 27 and the sphere 31a of the shaft 31 so as to be relatively immovable.

In the article support device 21 for a vehicle configured as described above, the pair of ball caps 37 includes a male screw 41 penetrated from a direction orthogonal to the axis of the support column 27, and a female screw built-in knob 43 screwed to the male screw 41. Tightened by. Therefore, the rotation axis of the female screw built-in knob 43 and the rotation axis of the shaft 31 to which the monitor 35 is attached and the ball cap 37 are arranged in the orthogonal direction. 31 does not rotate.

Therefore, the tightening with one hand can be performed without holding the monitor 35. In addition, the monitor 35 can be positioned and fixed with one hand by rotating the ball cap 37 with respect to the column 27 by holding the female screw knob 43.

The large-diameter portion 27a and the sphere 31a are accommodated in the column accommodation recess 37a that accommodates a substantially semicircle of the large-diameter portion 27a and the sphere accommodation recess 37b that accommodates a substantially hemisphere of the sphere 31a. As a result, a large contact area between the large outer diameter portion 27a and the sphere 31a and the ball cap 37 is secured, and a high fixing force is generated.

Further, when the ball cap 37 is tightened to the large outer diameter portion 27a, the linear ridge 37d of the support accommodating concave portion 37a and the linear ridge 27b of the large outer diameter portion 27a are engaged with each other. The relative rotation between the ball cap 27 and the ball cap 37 is reliably prevented, and the movement of the monitor 35 is reliably prevented.

Further, since it is larger on the rear portion 23b side of the base plate 23, as shown in FIG. 5, the base plate rear portion 23b generated by the load of the monitor 35 attached to the tip of the shaft 31 protruding toward the front portion 23a side. The adhesion holding force between the support surface 22 of the vehicle and the base plate 23 is secured as a sufficient adhesion holding force with respect to the large peeling force from the support surface 22 on the side of the vehicle.
