Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a housing with a coin holder for a motor vehicle provided with a coin holder in a console box or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various accessories have been provided in automobiles to enhance convenience. In particular, when a coin is used for payment on a toll road or a drive-through type store. In some cases, a coin holder is provided to facilitate payment by coins in such a case. As such a coin holder, there is one provided on a console provided between a driver's seat and a passenger's seat, for example, a bulging portion that projects into the box in a box-shaped console box that opens upward. Provided,
There is a coin holder having a shape in which a part of a bulging portion is provided by recessing a coin holder having a shape capable of accommodating a plurality of coins in a flat stack or side by side. However, since the swelling portion is provided in the box as described above, there is a problem that the capacity of the main housing of the console box is reduced. [0004] Further, there is a console box in which an openable and closable lid is attached to a main housing of the console box, and the lid can be used as an armrest. In some of the above, an intermediate storage body is provided between the main storage body and the lid, and a coin box is provided in the intermediate storage body. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 63-129648, a coin holder is formed by an inner lid and a slide member which are fixed and integrated on the back surface of a lid, so that the number of parts is reduced. In many cases, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases. Further, the intermediate storage body is formed in a dish shape and can be selectively opened and closed (tilted) together with the lid, so that when only the lid is opened, the intermediate storage body remains on the main storage body side. There is a case in which a concave coin storage portion for inserting coins into the intermediate storage body is formed. However, it is necessary to prevent the coin from moving to other parts when the intermediate storage body is opened together with the lid, and a lid that is spring-biased in the closing direction is provided in the coin storage part. However, similarly to the above, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the manufacturing cost increases. [0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and to realize a coin holder which can secure the storage capacity of the vehicle storage body and can be reduced in cost, the present invention provides: A lid is tiltably attached to a main storage provided in the interior of the vehicle, and an intermediate storage is disposed between the main storage and the lid, and the intermediate storage is tilted together with the lid. The lid is provided with a selective engagement means for selecting between a state in which the coin is left and a state in which only the lid is tilted while being left on the main storage body side. A coin receiving portion having a coin insertion slot facing the lid is provided in the intermediate storage, and the lid is inserted into the coin insertion slot with the lid closed with respect to the intermediate storage. The protrusions are integrally molded Only Rutotomoni, the coin receiving unit, the product of the coin
A slit extending in the layer direction;
The bottom surface was provided so as to be partially protruded . [0008] With this configuration, the intermediate storage is provided to secure the storage capacity of the main storage, and even if the coin storage is provided in the intermediate storage, the lid is opened together with the intermediate storage. The protrusion of the coin from the coin receiving portion can be prevented by the protrusion, and the protrusion is integrally formed on the lid, so that it is not necessary to use a separate component, so that the number of components is increased. Also, it is possible to prevent a rise in manufacturing cost due to an increase in the number of assembly steps. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a part of a front seat of an automobile to which the present invention is applied. A console box 2 as an automobile storage body is disposed between the left and right seats 1 (driver's seat and front passenger seat) of the front seat. As shown in FIG. 2, the console box 2 has a lid 3 that can be tilted so as to be pulled upward and rearward.
In the state of FIG. 1 in which the lid 3 is closed, the lid 3 can be used as an armrest. A cover 3 is provided on the upper rear end of the console box 2.
Is hinged, and the console box 2 is opened and closed as shown in FIG. 2 so as to be opened and closed by tilting the lid 3 as shown by an arrow A in the figure. A main storage body 4 is formed. And
A tray-like tray 5 as an intermediate storage is provided between the main storage 4 and the lid 3, and the tray 5 is
The console box 2 is hinged to the upper rear end so that the console box 2 can be tilted integrally with the console box 2. A first operating lever 6 as a selective engagement means is provided at a front end of the lid 3, and an elasticity of the first operating lever 6 in a state where the lid 3 is closed with respect to the tray 5 is provided. A stopper piece is provided at a corresponding front end of the tray 5 so that the claw portion of the engagement piece can be resiliently engaged. First
In a state where the elastic engagement piece of the operation lever 6 is engaged with the stopper piece of the tray 5, the lid 3 and the tray 5 are integrated with each other with respect to the console box 2 as shown in FIG. Can tilt. A second operating lever 7 similar to that described above is also provided at the front end of the tray 5, and when the tray 5 is closed with respect to the main housing 4, the second operating lever 7 A stopper is provided at a corresponding front end of the console box 2 so that the claws of the mating pieces can be resiliently engaged. Therefore, the tray 5 serves as a lid for the main storage body 4. At the front end inside the tray 5, a coin receiving portion 8 constituting a coin holder according to the present invention is provided. The coin receiving portion 8 may be integrally formed when the main tray 5 is formed into a dish shape by resin molding. In a used state as shown in FIG. 3, coins 9 are stacked and stored from above. Thus, the coin insertion slot 8a is formed in the shape of a vertical hole opened upward. In addition,
In the illustrated example, a plurality of types of hole diameters are formed so as to be able to accommodate coins of various sizes depending on the type. Further, in order to make it easier to take out the coin 9, a slit 8b having a width smaller than the diameter of the coin 9 is formed in the wall portion in front of the coin receiving portion 8 so as to extend in the coin stacking direction. The bottom surface 8c of the coin receiving portion 8 is inclined forward so that a part of the stacked coins 9 naturally protrudes slightly from the slit 8b. In the console box 2, as described above, small items can be stored in both the main storage body 4 and the tray 5, and the tray 5 can be selectively integrated with the lid 3. By opening and closing the body 3, small items can be put in and out of each of them. Therefore, the tray 5 is tilted together with the lid 3 as shown by the arrow A in FIG. 2 when the small items are put in and out of the main storage unit 4, and when the tray 5 is fully opened, the tray 5 becomes almost vertical. It is necessary to prevent the coin 9 from coming out of the unit 8. According to the present invention, as shown in the enlarged view of the main part of FIG. 4, the cover 3 is attached to the back cover 10 made of synthetic resin and In a closed (integrated) state, a protrusion 11 slightly protruding into a coin insertion slot facing the back surface of the lid 3 of the coin receiving portion 8 is provided by integral molding. Therefore, coin receiving section 8
When the lid 3 is opened, the coin 9 can be taken out by sliding the coin receiving portion 8 upward. However, when the lid 3 is closed, the inside of the coin receiving portion 8 can be removed. Even if it is movable, the protrusion 11
