Description

  The present invention relates to a rod-like object holding device, and more particularly to a rod-like object holding device that is attached to a glove box or an instrument panel or the like in a vehicle compartment and holds a rod-like object such as an umbrella.

  As an umbrella holder for holding an umbrella in the interior of a vehicle, it is provided with a grip body provided so as to be able to protrude and retract in a recess formed in a corner portion on the back of a passenger seat, and the grip body is elastically biased with a fixed claw. There has been proposed one that can hold an umbrella between both claws by providing the movable claws (see Patent Document 1). According to this umbrella holder, since the gripping main body can be accommodated in the recess when not in use, the vehicle compartment space can be widely used.

In this umbrella holder, the urging means urges the gripping body in the retracting direction when housed, and urges it in the protruding direction when used. Arranged at an angle. In the same document, in order to reduce the installation space, a configuration in which the fixing claw can be folded and the case for accommodating the gripping main body is made small is also disclosed.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-203284

  However, in the umbrella holder according to Patent Document 1, since it is necessary to provide a movable claw on the grip body, the number of parts is large and the structure is complicated. For example, even if the fixed claw can be folded, there is a limit in reducing the installation space because the gripping main body includes the movable claw.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a holding device that has a simple structure by reducing the number of parts and can reduce the installation space.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a holding device for holding a rod-like object in a vehicle interior member, and a first angle in a state of being accommodated in the vehicle interior member and protruding from the vehicle interior member An oscillating body that is pivotally supported between the second angle and a claw portion, an urging means that urges the oscillating body toward the first angle, and the oscillating body. Locking means for releasably locking in a state of being accommodated in the vehicle interior member, and the rocking body is clamped between the vehicle interior member while hooking the rod-like object with the claw portion. To be configured.

  In the holding device, the urging means urges the rocking body to a third angle between the first angle and the second angle, and the rocking body moves between the second angle and the third angle. It is good to comprise so that the said rod-shaped object may be clamped between the said vehicle interior members when it exists in between. The locking means is configured to lock the swinging body at an angle that is substantially flush with the vehicle interior member, or the locking means is configured so that the swinging body is on the first angle side. It is preferable that the push-lock device repeats alternately the locking of the rocking body and the unlocking of the rocking body by being pressed to the right.

  According to the present invention, since the rod-like object is sandwiched between the vehicle interior member and the rocking body, it is not necessary to provide another member such as a movable claw on the rocking body, and the number of parts can be reduced. Further, since it is possible to accommodate the oscillating body if only the oscillating body is accommodated in the vehicle interior member, it is possible to reduce the installation space of the holding device by reducing the shape of the oscillating body. In addition, since the swinging body is locked by the locking means in a state where it is accommodated in the vehicle interior member, the holding device does not compress the passenger compartment space during the accommodation.

  Further, the urging means urges the oscillating body to a third angle between the first angle and the second angle, so that the oscillating body protrudes from the vehicle interior member when the locking means is released. As a result, it becomes easy to grip the rocking body, and it is not necessary to provide an unevenness for placing a finger between the rocking body and the vehicle interior member to grip the rocking body as in the conventional example. Therefore, it is possible not only to avoid a decrease in the aesthetics of the part where the holding device is provided, but also because it is not necessary for the user to manually pull out the rocking body from the vehicle interior member during use, especially in cold regions and in cold seasons. At this time, even if the user is wearing a glove, it is possible to eliminate the troublesomeness of removing the glove to pull out the gripping body.

  Further, by configuring the locking means so that the rocking body is locked at an angle that is substantially flush with the vehicle interior member, the aesthetics of the vehicle interior member during housing can be further improved. On the other hand, by using a push-lock device as the locking means, it is possible to switch between the use state and the accommodation state with one push, and the operation becomes easy.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an automobile will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which a holding device according to the present invention is arranged in a glove box 4 of an automobile. As shown in the figure, a glove box 4 (vehicle interior part) is disposed at the lower part of the passenger seat side on the dashboard 3 disposed in front of the passenger compartment 2 of the automobile 1. An opening / closing knob 5 is disposed at the upper center portion of the glove box 4, and an umbrella holder 10 (a rod-shaped object holding device) as a rod-shaped object holding device is disposed on the driver's seat side. The umbrella holder 10 is provided so as to be able to protrude and retract with respect to a holder case 6 which is a constituent member of the glove box 4. In FIG. 1, an umbrella holder 10 in a state where the umbrella 7 is not used and is used, which will be described later, is shown, and a holding part 11 as a swinging body protrudes from the surface 4 a of the glove box 4.

  Next, the umbrella holder 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 shows a perspective view of the umbrella holder 10, FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the umbrella holder 10 in the accommodated state where the holding part 11 is locked, and FIG. 4 shows that the holding part 11 holds the umbrella 7 in use. The cross-sectional view of the umbrella holder 10 in the state which is not carried out is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella holder 10 includes a pin 11 a on the base end side, a resin-made pinching portion 11 pivotally supported by the holder case 6, and the holder case 6 and the pinching portion 11. A torsion coil spring 12 as an urging means that is interposed therebetween and urges the clamping part 11 to a predetermined third angle d3 (see FIG. 4) with respect to the holder case 6, and the clamping part 11 and the holder case 6; And a push lock device 20 for engaging the device as a constituent element.

  The sandwiching portion 11 has a rod shape having a substantially semi-elliptical cross section, and is provided with a claw portion 11b which is bent at a substantially right angle toward the holder case 6 at the tip. The cylindrical surface on the arc side of the semi-elliptical cross section is disposed on the holder case 6 side (the side on which the claw portion 11b bends), and the planar surface 11c formed on the string side extends over the entire length of the sandwiching portion 11. ing. The clamping part 11 is pivotally supported with respect to the holder case 6 so as to be swingable in an angle range from a first angle d1 indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 to a second angle d2 indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Has been.

  The holder case 6 defines a concave portion 6a. The concave portion 6a defines the holding portion 11 when the holding portion 11 is in an angle range from the angle d0 (see FIG. 3) when housed to the first angle d1. In addition to forming a space necessary to be accommodated inside, a space necessary for allowing the swinging portion 11 to swing to the second angle d2 (see FIG. 4) is formed on the proximal end side of the sandwiching portion 11. Yes.

  One end of the torsion coil spring 12 is fixed to the holder case 6, and the other end is fixed to the clamping part 11, and the clamping part 11 is biased to the third angle d <b> 3 (see FIG. 4). That is, the torsion coil spring 12 urges the holding part 11 in a direction in which the tip is away from the holder case 6 when the holding part 11 is closer to the first angle d1 than the third angle d3. When it is on the second angle d2 side with respect to the third angle d3, the clamping part 11 is urged in a direction in which the tip approaches the holder case 6.

  The push lock device 20 is attached to the holder case 6 and is locked to the holder case 6 in a state where the holding portion 11 is swung to an angle d0 (see FIG. 3) when housed. Specifically, a concave portion 11d is formed in a circular cross-section portion of the holding portion 11 on the holder case 6 side, and a striker 11e is protruded into the concave portion 11d. When the striker 11e is gripped in a state where the 4a and the glove box 4 are flush with each other, that is, in a state where the clamping unit 11 and the glove box 4 are flush with each other, the swinging of the clamping unit 11 is restricted.

  Next, the push lock device 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the push lock device 20 in the locked state, and FIG. 6 shows a plan view of the push lock device 20 in the locked state. As shown in the figure, the push lock device 20 is formed with a latch body 21 having a rectangular box shape, and a guide hole 22a that slidably receives the latch body 21 and extends along the sliding direction of the latch body 21. The latch case 22 and a coil that is interposed between the latch case 22 and the latch body 21 so as to be received in the rectangular box of the latch body 21 and bias the latch body 21 in a direction protruding from the latch case 22. A spring 23 and a hook 25 provided on the distal end side of the latch main body 21 so as to be tiltable are provided.

  The latch body 21 is integrally formed with a plate-like portion 21a extending along the sliding direction. A stopper 21b that slides into the guide hole 22a is formed on the end surface of the plate-like portion 21a, and restricts sliding of the latch body 21 in the protruding direction. On the other hand, the insertion direction of the latch main body 21 is regulated by the proximal end of the latch main body 21 coming into contact with the back wall of the latch case 22. When the base end of the latch main body 21 comes into contact with the inner wall of the latch case 22, the clamping unit 11 is swung to the first angle d1 (see FIG. 3).

  A cam 21c is formed on the side surface of the plate-like portion 21a. With respect to the cam groove formed by the cam 21c, the middle portion of the U-shaped lever 22b rotatably supported by the latch case 22 moves while being engaged, so that the latch body 21 is latched. The first position on the insertion side and the second position on the protrusion side can be taken each time the case 22 is pushed. In addition, this 2nd position is a position where the stopper 21b contact | abutted to the end surface of the guide hole 22a, and the sliding of the latch main body 21 was controlled.

  A hook 25 is tiltably provided at the tip of the latch body 21 via a flexible piece 24. The hook 25 has a tilt angle different between when the latch body 21 is in the first position and when it is in the second position. Thus, when the hook 25 is pushed in the direction of the holder case 6 together with the latch main body 21 and the latch main body 21 is held at the first position, the hook 25 engages with the striker 11e, and the hook 25 is again engaged with the latch main body 21. When the latch main body 21 is held in the second position, the push lock device 20 releases the engagement with the striker 11e. In addition, when the latch main body 21 is in the first position and the push lock device 20 is engaged with the holding unit 11, the holding unit 11 is held at an angle d0 (see FIG. 3) when stored. For details on the push lock device 20, refer to Japanese Patent No. 3338578 filed by the present applicant.

  In the umbrella holder 10 configured as described above, the holding portion 11 is locked by the push lock device 20 at the angle d0 when stored with respect to the glove box 4 when stored, and the occupant presses the surface 11c of the holding portion 11 when used. By doing so, the lock of the push lock device 20 is released, and the clamping portion 11 swings to the third angle d3 by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 12. In this state, in particular, since the sandwiching portion 11 has a semi-elliptical cross section, it becomes easy to grip the sandwiching portion 11, so that the occupant grips the sandwiching portion 11 and biases the torsion coil spring 12. If the pinching part 11 is swung against this, the pinching part 11 can be swung to the second angle d2.

  Then, in a state where the holding part 11 is swung to an angle between the third angle d3 and the second angle d2, an umbrella 7 (rod-like object) is provided between the glove box 4 (holder case 6) and the holding part 11. Is inserted and the clamping part 11 is released, the clamping part 11 is urged toward the third angle d3 by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 12. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the umbrella 7 is held between the holding part 11 and the holder case 6 while being held by the claw part 11 b and is held by the glove box 4.

  The third angle d3 is an angle at which the occupant can easily grip the clamping portion 11 and does not create a gap with the glove box 4 when viewed from the swing axis direction, or between the glove box 4 and the third angle d3. It is sufficient that the generated gap is an angle smaller than the diameter of the umbrella 7.

  In this umbrella holder 10, since the umbrella 7 is clamped by the clamping part 11 provided with the claw part 11b and the glove box 4, there is no need to provide a movable claw or the like made of a separate member in the clamping part 11, and the number of parts can be reduced. It is possible. Moreover, if the space which accommodates the clamping part 11 with a semi-elliptical cross section is ensured in the glove box 4, the umbrella holder 10 can be accommodated in the glove box 4, and the installation space of the umbrella holder 10 is reduced. Yes. Furthermore, since the clamping part 11 is latched by the push lock device 20 in a state where it is accommodated in the glove box 4, the umbrella holder 10 does not press the compartment 2 during the accommodation.

  In addition, since the push lock device 20 locks the clamping part 11 at the angle d0 at the time of accommodation, and the clamping part 11 is substantially flush with the glove box 4, an excellent aesthetic feeling of the glove box 4 at the time of accommodation is realized. In addition, the use state and the accommodation state can be switched by one push, and the operation is facilitated. Further, the push lock device 20 is employed as the locking means, and the holding body 11 is biased to the angle d3 in a state where the locking is released, so that it is not necessary to provide unevenness or the like for pulling out the holding portion 11. For this reason, even when the umbrella holder 10 is installed, the glove box 4 has a clean shape, which contributes to improving the aesthetics of the space in the passenger compartment 2.

  Although the description of the specific embodiment is finished as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be widely modified. For example, in the above embodiment, the umbrella holder 10 is taken as an example of the holding device, but the holding object is not limited to the umbrella 7, and any object may be held as long as it has a rod shape. Depending on the object to be held, the shape of the rocking body, the rocking angle, the biasing force of the biasing means, and the like may be changed as appropriate. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the umbrella holder 10 is attached with respect to the glove box 4, interior parts, such as a dashboard 3, an instrument panel, a roof, an interior member of a door, a structural member of a seat seat, etc. It may be attached to the vehicle interior member. Further, in the above embodiment, the clamping part 11 is installed in the glove box 4 via the holder case 6, but the glove box 4 has an opening or a recess, and the clamping part 11 is accommodated in this opening or the like. It may be installed directly on the glove box 4. Other modifications may be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention.
