There is no.

  Next, a procedure for attaching / detaching the above-described monitor holder 1 to / from the horizontal louver 3 of the rectangular air conditioner outlet 2 will be described.

  When the monitor holder 1 is attached to the horizontal louver 3 of the air conditioner outlet 2, first, two belts 6 are inserted into the holder body 4, and the front ends of the belts 6 are loosened backward from the inner surface 8 of the holder body 4. In the state, the horizontal louver 3 is guided between the hook portion 30 of each stopper 23 and the louver guide piece 31. The louver guide piece 31 is elastically deformed downward by the front edge portion 25 of the horizontal louver 3 to create a gap between the hook portion 30 and the louver guide piece 31, and the horizontal louver 3 is guided to the louver guide piece 31 from the gap. However, it is inserted into the stopper 23. When the horizontal louver 3 is completely inserted into the stopper 23, the louver guide piece 31 returns to its original state, and the gap between the hook portion 30 and the louver guide piece 31 is smaller than the thickness of the horizontal louver 3. The stopper 23 is temporarily fixed to the horizontal louver 3. Therefore, there is no possibility that the stopper 23 is detached from the horizontal louver 3 during the subsequent mounting operation, so that the mounting operation of the monitor holder 1 can be easily performed. At this time, since the louver guide piece 31 is formed to extend from the hook portion 30 to the tip side, the horizontal louver 3 can be easily inserted between the hook portion 30 and the louver guide piece 31. Can do.

  Next, the base end portion of each belt 6 hanging from the lower end of the holder main body 4 is pulled downward while holding the holder main body 4. Then, since the latching portion 24 of the string-like body 22 has a sawtooth shape inclined upward and the lock pin latching portion 45 has a sawtooth shape inclined downward, the lockpin latching portion 45. Gets over the hooking portion 24 of the string-like body 22, and the lock pin 42 rotates with the movement over the hook. The rotation of the lock pin 42 is absorbed by the leaf spring-like member 41, and when the pulling operation of the belt 6 is stopped, the lock pin hooking portion 45 is hooked on the hooking portion 24 of the string-like body 22, and the string-like body 22. Is locked by the lock mechanism 39. Then, the hook portion 30 is hooked on the rear edge portion 29 of the horizontal louver 3, and the proximal-side curved portion 26 and the front edge portion 25 of the horizontal louver 3 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance. Further, the upper and lower contact tools 7 are elastically deformed and contact with the outer frame of the horizontal louver 3 of the air conditioner outlet 2 in an inclined posture, and the tips of the contact tools 7 enter the air conditioner outlet 2. In this way, the contact tool 7 is pushed by the outer frame of the horizontal louver 3 and elastically deforms inward, and in this state, the belt 6 is restrained from moving toward the tip side (right side in FIG. 1). Therefore, the monitor holder 1 is firmly fixed to the air conditioner outlet 2 in a predetermined posture. Then, the belt 6 extending downward from the lower end of the holder body 4 is folded back and stored in the belt storage unit 13. In general, a car stereo is disposed below the air conditioner outlet 2, and thus the belt 6 interferes with the operation of the car stereo by storing the lower end portion of the belt 6 in the belt storage portion 13 in this way. Can be prevented.

  Thereafter, the engaged portion of the monitor 20 is engaged with the fixed rail 37 of the monitor holding member 5, the monitor 20 is placed on the bottom surface support portion 17, and the monitor fixing screw 18 is monitored by rotating the operation portion 19. Then, the monitor 20 is fixed to the monitor holding member 5. Further, the monitor holding member tilt adjustment knob 15 is rotated, the monitor holding member 5 is tilted with the tilting shaft portion 21 as a fulcrum, and the monitor 20 is held in a predetermined posture. At this time, since the movement of the monitor 20 in the front-rear and left-right directions can be restricted by the fixed rail 37, the monitor 20 can be firmly fixed on the monitor holding member 5. Furthermore, since the monitor fixing screw 18 is screwed into the monitor 20 from below the bottom plate support portion 17, the monitor 2 can be fixed more reliably.

  On the other hand, when removing the monitor holder 1 from the horizontal louver 3 of the air conditioner outlet 2, after removing the monitor 20 from the monitor holding member 5 by the procedure opposite to the procedure described above, the belt latch release button 14 of the holder body 4 is pressed. While pressing, the holder body 4 is pulled forward. By pressing the belt latch release button 14, the lock pin 42 moves in the proximal direction against the inelastic force of the coil spring 43, and the lock pin latch portion 45 and the latch portion 24 of the string-like body 22 are moved. The belt 6 is allowed to move to the tip side (right side in FIG. 1), and extends from the inner surface 8 of the holder body 4 to the tip side, and is in a slack state. Thereafter, when the pressing operation of the belt latch release button 14 is stopped, the lock pin 42 returns to the original position due to the inactive force of the coil spring 43, and the lock pin latch portion 45 is moved to the latch portion 24 of the string-like body 22. Hang it again. At this time, an inclined surface 38 is formed on the side surface of the hook portion 24 of the string-like body 22, and an inclined surface 45 is formed on the side surface of the lock pin hook portion 45. Because of the contact, the return operation of the lock pin 42 is performed smoothly.

  In this state where the belt 6 is slackened, the stopper 23 is pushed into the horizontal louver 3 while holding the horizontal louver 3 and restraining the tilting of the horizontal louver 3, and the proximal-side curved portion 26 is moved horizontally. The base end side of the stopper 23 is moved downward by contacting the front edge 25 of the louver 3. Then, the distal end side of the stopper 23 is lifted upward, and the louver guide piece 31 is elastically deformed downward by the horizontal louver 3. When a gap greater than the thickness of the horizontal louver 3 is formed between the hook portion 30 and the louver guide piece 31, when the stopper 23 is pulled, the horizontal louver 3 is guided by the louver guide piece 31 and the hook portion 30. The monitor holder 1 can be removed from the air conditioner outlet 2 by being removed from the stopper 23 through the gap between the louver guide piece 31 and the louver guide piece 31.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the case where the monitor holder 1 was fixed to the rectangular air-conditioner blower outlet 2 was demonstrated, as shown in FIG. When the round air conditioner outlet 34 is rotatably provided, the contact tool 7 can be configured to be able to contact the outer peripheral portion of the outer frame 35 of the air conditioner outlet 34. .

  Further, as described above, the belt 6 is flexible, and even after the stopper 23 is temporarily fixed to the louver, even if a force is applied to the stopper 23 in the twisting direction, the belt 6 can be stopped. Since the tool 23 is configured not to fall off the louver, the present invention can be used without any trouble for an air conditioner outlet having a vertical louver.

  Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the monitor holder 1 described above, and can also be applied to a vehicle article fixture such as a drink holder 36 or a mobile phone holder as shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the contact tool 7 itself has elasticity. However, the contact tool 7 does not necessarily have elasticity. For example, the contact tool 7 may be provided via an elastic member. For example, the abutment angle of the abutment tool 7 with respect to the peripheral portion of the louver 3 may be variable, such as attaching the 7 to the holder body 4. In such a configuration, when the monitor holder 1 is attached, if the stopper 23 is hooked on the louver 3 and the belt 6 is pulled to the proximal end side, the contact of the contact tool 7 with the peripheral portion of the louver 3 By changing the angle, the abutment tool 7 abuts against the periphery of the louver 3 in an inclined posture without shaking, and the holder is firmly and stably fixed.

  In addition, the shape and the number of installation of the contact tool 7 are not limited to the above-mentioned shape and the number of installation, and various changes are possible. Furthermore, the inclination direction of the air conditioner outlet 2 with respect to the peripheral portion of the louver 3 is It may be outward.

  Furthermore, the number of belts 6 attached may be not only one or two, but also a plurality of three or more. When a plurality of belts 6 are provided, an article having a weight of about several hundred grams such as a monitor can be stably held without rotating.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip of one belt 47 may be bifurcated, and stoppers 48 and 49 may be provided at the respective tips.
