DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for supporting a container such as a vehicle, a house, furniture or the like disposed on a vertical wall of a cup.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As this kind of technology, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application
As shown in JP-A-167935, a housing capable of being housed in an instrument panel in a vehicle interior, a holding body such as a cup formed in the housing and protruding left and right when pulled out from the instrument panel, and an instrument And a cup support that is lowered downward with the holder pulled out from the panel.

[0003]

However, since such a cup support is merely lowered by its own weight, there is a possibility that rattling may occur while the housing and the holder are being pulled out or in a state where they are completely drawn out. . Further, since the housing and the holding body are not protected at all while being stored in the instrument panel, an improvement in design is desired. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to improve the design without rattling of the housing while the holding body is being pulled out of the housing or when the holding body is completely pulled out.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a container support device comprising a hollow decorative member which faces a mounting hole of a vertical wall and is provided in the mounting hole and has an opening formed on the mounting hole side. A housing having a push plate having an insertion hole for inserting cups and covering the opening of the decorative member, and a slidable holder that can slide in and out of the housing, and an opening that is not covered by the push plate of the housing. The cover comprises a lid and a spring which urges the lid in a direction to close the lid. The urging force on the lid is applied to the rotating shaft of the cup support in such a manner that the urging force is applied to the lid in a state where the holder protrudes out of the housing. It is characterized by the following.

[0005]

According to this structure, while the holder is being pulled out of the opening of the housing, the holder is always pushed by the spring of the lid covering the opening of the housing, so that no play is caused. In addition, in a state where the holder is completely pulled out from the opening of the housing, the rotation shaft of the cup support is pressed through the holder, so that no play occurs. In addition, since the opening of the decorative member is covered by the lid and the push plate in a state where the holder is stored in the housing, an improvement in design can be obtained.

[0006]

The stopper 5 is a so-called heart cam pivotally supported by a plate 81 projecting toward the opening 10 from the back portion 11 of the lower member 7 of the housing 2.
Are engaged, the holding position of the holding body 3 in the housing 2 is maintained, and the push plate 51 is pressed to release the engagement, and the urging force of the conston spring 4 causes the holding body 3 to move out of the housing 2. Is protruding.

The opening 10 of the decorative member 40 has a lid 82
Covered by Then, the lid 82 and the boss 37
A coil-shaped spring 86 is stretched between the first and second members, and the lid 82 is constantly biased in a direction to close the opening 10. A first horizontal shaft 83 protrudes from one of upper portions of the lid 82, and a hole 84 is formed in the other.
3 is rotatably supported by the decorative member 40, and the second horizontal shaft 85 arranged in the decorative member 40 enters the hole 84, and the other upper part of the lid 82 is rotatably supported by the decorative member 40. ing. Rib 87 projecting from the back of lid 82
Engages with the concave portion 88 of the housing 2 to enable the right and left alignment of the lid 82.

Since the present invention has such a structure, the second groove 23 and the third groove 24 of the upper member 6 and the lower member 7
The second longitudinal axis 42 and the seventh longitudinal axis 72 of the left member 13 and the right member 14 of the holder 3 are slidably engaged with the sixth groove 32 and the seventh groove 33, respectively. First of upper member 6
The groove 22, the fourth groove 25, and the eighth groove 34 of the lower member 7
The first longitudinal axis 41 and the eighth longitudinal axis 73 of the left member 13 and the right member 14 of the holding body 3 are slidably engaged respectively. A tooth 48 of a damper 49 is rotatably meshed with the rack 35 of the fifth groove 31 of the lower member 7. Fifth longitudinal axis 4 of first body 15 of left member 13 of holder 3
The second main body 16 is movable with the movement of the first main body 15 by engaging the long hole 70 of the right side member 14 of the holding body 3 with 5.

According to this structure, the groove 1 of the housing 2
2, the holding member 3 is moved by the conston spring 4.
Is moved from the housing 2 to the room side through the opening 10 and spreads right and left, and the insertion hole 17 for inserting cups is held at an appropriate position. At this time, since the lid 82 presses the left member 13 and the right member 14 of the holding member 3 from above by the spring 86, the back member 13 and the right member 14 of the holding member 3 do not rattle.

Left member 13 and right member 14 of holder 3
When the push plate 51 is in the housing 2, the opening 10 of the decorative member 40 of the housing 2 is closed by the push plate 51 and the lid 82,
The design is improved. If the third longitudinal axis 43 is released from the stopper 5 by pushing the push plate 51,
The holding body 3 is pulled out toward the opening 10 by the conston spring 4. That is, the conston spring 4 is
In the left-right direction and the pull-out direction.

Further, since the conston spring 4 is wound around the fourth longitudinal axis 44 at the center of the opening 2 of the housing 2 of the holder 3, there is an effect of damping the deployment speed when the holder 3 is deployed. Reference numeral 93 denotes an operating device for performing a gear change of a transmission (not shown) such as an automatic transmission. The left-hand member 13 and the right-hand member 14 of the holding body 3 spread left and right when pulled out, so that the frontmost parking position. (FIGS. 5 and 6) do not interfere with the container support device 1. Further, the distance from the push button 94 to be pressed in controlling the operation device 93 to another position also has a distance of about 15 mm.

Reference numeral 89 shown in FIG. 6 denotes a center console box formed continuously with the instrument panel 8, and opens and rotates (two-dot chain line) the lid 91 of the storage section 90 provided in the center console box 89. Even
It does not interfere with the cup support 55. Reference numeral 92 denotes an electronic unit disposed in a dead space formed by the housing 2 and the storage unit 90.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, the container support device has a hollow shape facing the mounting hole of the vertical wall and disposed in the mounting hole and having an opening formed on the mounting hole side. A housing having a decorative member, a holder having an insertion hole for inserting cups and having a push plate covering an opening of the decorative member, a holding member capable of sliding in and out of the housing;
A lid that covers an opening of the housing that is not covered by the push plate, and a spring that urges the lid in a direction to close the lid, and that supports the urging force on the lid with the holder protruding out of the housing. Since the pressing force is applied to the rotation axis of the body, the holding body is pushed by the spring of the lid that always covers the opening of the housing while the holding body is being pulled out from the opening of the housing, and the backlash is generated. Does not occur. In a state where the holder is completely pulled out from the opening of the housing, by pressing the rotation axis of the cup support via the holder,
There is no play, and the lid and the push plate cover the opening of the decorative member in a state where the holder is stored in the housing, so that an improvement in design can be obtained.
