  The present invention relates to a holding device for a rod-shaped object that is provided in a vehicle interior and is suitable for easily holding a rod-shaped object such as an umbrella.

  FIG. 14 shows a holding structure disclosed in Patent Document 1, wherein (a) shows the overall configuration of the vehicle door, and (b) shows an enlarged sectional view taken on line 2-2 of (a). This holding structure has a retracted or stowed position that is pivotally supported in a recess provided in the vehicle door 10 via a shaft member 34 and enters the recess, and a holding or protruding state in which the tip end side protrudes from the recess. A holding arm 30 to be switched, an urging means (not shown) that urges the holding arm 30 toward the storage position, and an iron piece 38 and a magnet 40 that hold the holding arm 30 in the storage position are provided. The magnet 40 is attached to the bottom surface of the recess and holds the holding arm 30 in the storage position by attracting the iron piece 38 on the holding arm 30 side. Further, the iron piece 38 and the magnet 40 are a push / open type locking mechanism using a heart cam, that is, a pin (not shown) moves along the heart cam by an operation of pressing the holding arm 30 toward the door main body 12 side. It is described that a mechanism for unlocking is provided.

JP 2007-22201 A

  In the conventional holding structure, when holding the umbrella 22, both the hand holding the umbrella and the hand operating the holding arm 30 must be used. Further, the holding arm 30 swings when it receives traveling vibration or the like, and at that time, the umbrella 22 is easily detached from the opening between the door body 12 and the holding arm 30. As a countermeasure, for example, when the urging force of an urging means (not shown) that is urging in the direction A in order to suppress the swinging of the holding arm 30 is increased, the force between the holding arm 30 and the door body 12 is increased. It becomes difficult to put in and out the umbrella from the opening.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and particularly, it can be held by one-handed operation, and the operability of switching from the storage position of the arm to the use position and from the use position to the storage position, which is easy to use. An object of the present invention is to provide an excellent holding device. Other purposes will be clarified in the following description.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an arm that is pivotally supported in a recess provided in an interior member of a vehicle, and is switched between a storage position that enters the recess and a use position that protrudes from the recess toward the tip side. And a locking means for releasably locking the arm against the urging force in a retracted position, and a rod-like object is placed between the arm and the opening edge side of the recess at the use position. A holding device for holding the first and second arms, which are pivotally supported at left and right positions in the recess as the arm, and are arranged vertically in the recess at the storage position; An interlocking mechanism that enables each arm to be switched to at least the storage position and the use position in conjunction with each other, and a first biasing means that allows switching to a use position that is rotated by a predetermined angle from the storage position by the biasing force; The arm Serial use accumulates a biasing force in the process of switching further expand the use position or breakage preventing position increased angular from the position, and to be switched again to the position of use by its accumulated urging force from the expanded use position or breakage preventing position Second urging means having a spring load larger than that of the first urging means, and the arm rotates in a direction to further increase the angle from the use position against the urging force of the second urging means. The rod-like object can be transferred to the inner side of the arm, and the rod-like object can be held by being rotated in the direction of the use position by the urging force accumulated in the second urging means.

  In the above-mentioned present invention, the “recess provided in the interior member” includes a mode in which the recess is formed directly on the surface of the interior member and a mode in which the recess is formed by the case attached to the interior member. . “Stick” is not limited to umbrellas, but also includes canes and bats, and cases and containers that are elongated vertically. “The arm holds the rod-shaped object between the arm and the interior member at the use position” means that the surface of the interior member protrudes from the opening-side end surface of the recess, and the rod-shaped object extends to the opening-side end surface of the recess. It is the structure which becomes difficult to contact | abut. “The arm holds a rod-like object between the opening edge side of the recess at the use position” means that the opening side end surface of the recess protrudes from the surface of the interior member as shown in each form. The structure is such that the object comes into contact with the opening-side end surface of the recess.

  “Enlarged use position” and “breakage prevention position” are relative positions according to the maximum rotation angle in the opening direction of the arm, the diameter of the rod-like object, and the surrounding size, and are used as follows. doing. In the “expanded use position”, when the rod-shaped object cannot be held at the use position of the arm due to the diameter or the size of the circumference, the arm further increases the angle against the biasing force of the second biasing means from the use position. It is a position that can be held by being rotated in the direction. The “breakage prevention position” refers to a load in the direction of increasing the angle, that is, the opening direction from the use position or the extended use position where the arm holds or holds the rod-shaped object between the interior member or the opening edge side of the recess. It is the position when it is rotated in the opening direction or the direction of increasing the angle, which is effective for preventing breakage when received.

Above invention, and more preferably it is embodied as specified in claims 2-6.

(A) The locking means includes a striker and a latch device, and when the latch device switches the arm from the use position to the storage position against the biasing force, the striker is locked. After the arm is pushed in the storage direction, the push-push type is released in which the pushing force is released to release the lock (Claim 2) .
(A) Each of the arms is configured to be independently rotated from the use position toward the enlarged use position or the breakage prevention position (claim 3) . This is specified based on the second form.

(C) having a case that divides the recess and pivotally supports the arm, and the rod-like object can be sandwiched between the opening edge of the case and the arm. (Claim 4) .
(D) The interlocking mechanism is interposed between the tooth portions provided on the base sides of the first and second arms, and the tooth portions, and is capable of rotating the arms synchronously. It is the structure which has the gear to do (Claim 5) .
(E) A structure having a braking means for braking the movement of the arm (claim 6) .

  In the invention of claim 1, as shown in the usage examples of FIGS. 5B and 11B, when the rod-like object is pressed against the arm tip side from the use position of the arm, the arm is moved. As indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, the stress applied from the rod-like object rotates against the urging force of the second urging means to increase the angle further from the use position, and when passing through the arm tip, the urging force accumulated in the second urging means is accumulated. It is automatically switched to the use position again by the force, or when the diameter (periphery) of the rod-shaped object is large as shown in FIG. Also, when removing the rod-like object, the arm rotates against the urging force of the second urging means from the use position or the enlarged use position in a direction to further increase the angle by pulling the rod-like object outward from the inside of the arm. And can be easily pulled out. For this reason, the holding | maintenance apparatus of this invention can hold | maintain or remove a rod-shaped object by one-hand operation, and can improve operativity and a holding | maintenance characteristic.

In the present invention, the second urging means is set to be larger than the spring load of the first urging means , so that the arm can stably hold the rod-like object in both the use position and the expanded use position.

Further, according to the present invention, each arm is pivotally supported at a distant place in the recess, so that it is easy to provide stable holding characteristics as compared with the conventional configuration consisting of a single arm, and each arm is in the storage position. Since it is arranged above and below the recess, it is easy to miniaturize by suppressing the dimension in the width direction, and each arm becomes a mode of restraining the rod-like object inside the approximately C shape as in the embodiment, so the protrusion amount from the recess is suppressed. It becomes easy. At the same time, even if the holding performance is improved by each arm, each arm is linked by one switching operation via the interlocking mechanism, so that the good operability can be maintained.

In the invention of claim 2, since the locking means is a push-push type that is locked by the first pushing operation and is unlocked by the next pushing operation, good operability can be reliably maintained. On the other hand, in the invention of claim 3, since each arm is independently rotated from the use position to the enlarged use position or the damage prevention position as in the second embodiment, for example, a state where the rod-like object is held by one arm Thus, the impact load applied to the other arm can be relaxed and absorbed.

In the invention of claim 4, since the recess is defined by the case, the whole can be provided as a unitized assembly. On the other hand, in the invention of claim 5, since the interlocking mechanism consists of a tooth portion provided on each base side of the first and second arms as in each form, and a gear meshing with each tooth portion of both arms, It becomes easy to maintain a stable switching operation.

In the invention of claim 6, a high-class feeling can be given by braking the rotation speed of the arm. In this case, it is preferable from the viewpoint of simplification that a rotary damper is used as the braking means as in each embodiment, and the gear of the damper is used as the gear of claim 7.

The gap 42 includes one locking recess 43 (partitioned between the projection 44 and the projection 44) protruding to the inner peripheral side of the gear portion 40 and a plurality of surrounding positioning projections. Part 44 is provided. Further, the lower side of the gear portion 40 and the tooth portion 40a is formed as a large-diameter shaft portion that is slightly larger than the shaft portion 41 so that the second spring 6B can be regulated. As shown in FIG. 3B, a reverse concave notch is formed on the large-diameter shaft portion, and one end face (the corresponding end face side of the tooth portion 40a) of the notch is set to the spring contact portion 45. Yes.

  The first spring 6 </ b> A is incorporated in the interval 42 described above, and the second spring 6 </ b> B is incorporated in the shaft portion 41. The first spring 6A is a torsion coil spring, the lower end 6b is engaged and fixed to the recess 43, the coil portion is disposed inside the plurality of protrusions 44, and the upper end 6a is the working end. It extends outside and is locked to the corresponding part of the case 1. The second spring 6B is also a torsion coil spring. In the second spring 6B, the lower end 6b is engaged with the corresponding corner of the case 1, and the upper end 6a is disposed in the notch portion of the large-diameter shaft portion as a substantially U-shaped working end. The When the arms 2 and 3 are rotated from the storage position in FIG. 3 (b) to the use position in FIG. 4 (a), the second spring 6B has one end 6a that is the working end on the large shaft portion side. The abutting force is accumulated in the process of abutting on the abutting portion 45 and rotating the arms 2 and 3 from the use position to increase the angle in the opening direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the gear member 4 incorporating the springs 6A and 6B is located between the lower side wall portion and the support wall 16 connected to the upper side wall portion in the substantially left-right middle of the case side body portion 11. The shaft S3 is inserted into the shaft hole of the support wall 16 (not shown) provided coaxially with the escape hole 11c, the shaft hole 41a of the shaft portion 41, and the lower wall portion provided on the lower side wall portion. By being inserted into the illustrated shaft hole, the gear portion 40 is rotatably supported with the shaft S3 as a fulcrum in a state where the gear portion 40 is engaged with the first arm side tooth portion 23. At this time, the first spring 6A has the gear member 4 in the state shown in FIG. 4A, that is, the arms 2 and 3 are set to a predetermined angle, with the one end 6a serving as the working end locked to the corresponding portion of the case 1.

The arms 2 and 3 are pushed in the storage direction against the urging force of the first spring 6A from the use position, and are locked by the locking means (24, 55) in the storage position as shown in FIG. It is kept in the storage state.

  The damper 5 and the locking means described above are both well known. The damper 5 is preferably of a rotary type, and has a shaft portion 51 that protrudes from the case 50 and receives resistance such as hydraulic oil, and a gear 52 that is mounted around the tip of the shaft portion 51. Further, the damper 5 has a pair of claw portions 53 protruding from the outer periphery, and a case 50 and a recess 50 (not shown) provided on the corresponding lower side wall portion of the body portion 11 as shown in FIG. The claw portion 53 is engaged and fixed. The gear 52 meshes with the tooth portion 40a of the gear portion and the second arm side tooth portion 33 in a state where the damper 5 is mounted.

  The locking means includes a striker 24 provided on the first arm 2 and a latch device 55 provided on the case 1. The latch device 55 locks the striker 24 when the first arm 2 is switched from the use position to the storage position against the biasing force of the first spring 6A, and further pushes the first arm in the storage direction. It consists of a push-push type that releases the lock by releasing the pushing force. That is, the latch device 55 is disposed so as to be able to receive the striker 24 therein as shown in each circle in FIGS. 3B and 4A, and to be slidable on the housing 56. A sliding member 57 with a claw 57a, a spring member (not shown) that urges the sliding member 57 in a direction protruding from the housing 56, a substantially heart-shaped cam groove 58 and a cam provided on the sliding member 57 And a pin 59 that traces the groove 58 and is attached to a through-hole provided in the side portion of the case 1.

  When the first arm 2 is pushed against the urging force from the use position in the storage direction from the unlocked state of FIG. 4A, the striker 24 is moved to the corresponding portion of the sliding body 57. At the end, the sliding body 57 is pushed into the housing 56 against the urging force. In this state, the claw portion 57a restrains the striker 24 while retreating inside the housing 56, and is locked at the retreat position as shown in FIG. From this state, when the striker 24 is pushed inward of the housing 56 via the first arm 2, the locking is released, and the sliding body 57 is pushed by the urging force so that the claw portion 57a is mounted. It moves to the direction which protrudes from the body 56, and it switches to the latch release state which releases the restraint of the nail | claw part 57a with respect to the striker 24. FIG.

(Operation) The above-described holding device is installed in a buried state in, for example, a pillar provided between the front door and the rear door in the vehicle interior. Of course, the installation location is not limited to the pillar, and may be a door or the back of a seat. Further, the holding device may be used together with containers for receiving the tip of the umbrella A as disclosed in FIG. Hereinafter, the operation characteristics of the holding device will be clarified with reference to FIGS.

(1) Each of FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 (a) and FIG. 3 shows a storage position where the arms 2 and 3 are housed in the case 1 as an embodiment of the holding device. In this stowed position, the gear portion 40 of the gear member and the gear 52 of the damper that are meshed with each other are interposed between the tooth portion 23 on the first arm side and the second arm side tooth portion 33 so that each arm 2, 3 is connected. Actuated. Further, the gear member 4 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction against the urging force of the first spring 6A as compared with the use position (accumulating the urging force). Each of the arms 2 and 3 is held in the storage position by the striker 24 being locked to the latch device 55. Therefore, in this structure, the first arm 2 receives a biasing force in the use (protrusion) direction via the tooth portion 23 meshing with the gear portion 40, and the second arm 3 meshes with the gear portion 40. The urging force in the direction of use (protrusion) is received through the gear 52 on the side and the tooth portion 33 meshing with the gear 52. It is designed not to connect.

(2) When switching the arms 2 and 3 from the storage position to the protruding state, for example, the first arm 2 is pressed once (against the urging force of the first spring 6A) with the user's finger, and then the finger is released. . Then, the striker 24 is released from the latch device 55 as described above. For this reason, the arms 2 and 3 are connected to each other by the biasing force of the first spring 6A via the tooth portions 23 and 33 of each arm, the gear portion 40 of the gear member, and the gear 52 of the damper. The second arm 3 is also rotated in the opening direction in synchronization with the rotation in the opening direction. 1 (b), 4 (a), and 5 (b) are solid lines, and FIG. 6 (b) is an embodiment of the holding device. Each arm 2 and 3 is outside the case 1 by the urging force of the first spring 6A. The use position that protrudes automatically is shown. In this use position, the gear member 4 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, and the one end 6a which is the working end of the second spring 6B is in contact with the contact portion 45 described above.

(3) When holding the umbrella A or an umbrella A1 having a larger diameter or circumference than that of the umbrella A, in the state where the arms 2 and 3 are used, hold the target umbrella with one hand, as shown in FIG. When the umbrella A is pressed against the arm tips 21a, 31a as in the example, each arm 2, 3 resists the urging force of the second spring 6B due to the stress applied from the umbrella as indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, and the angle is further increased than the use position. It is rotated in the increasing direction. In this structure, when the umbrella A passes through the arm tips 21a and 31a and moves to the inside of the arms 2 and 3, the arms 2 and 3 are again urged by the biasing force accumulated in the second spring 6B as shown in FIG. When the umbrella A1 has a large diameter (periphery) as shown in FIG. 5C, the position is automatically switched to an enlarged use position corresponding to the diameter (periphery). As a result, the umbrellas A and A1 are securely held between the arms 2 and 3 and the opening edge (frame portion 10) of the case 1. Further, when removing the umbrella, by pulling the umbrella A or A1 outward from the inside of the arm, the arms 2 and 3 further increase the angle from the use position or the enlarged use position against the urging force of the second spring 6B. It can be easily pulled out by rotating in the direction.

(4) In this structure, in the above switching process, for example, the arms 2 and 3 are rotated in the opening direction via the interlocking mechanism by the biasing force of the first spring 6A, or the second spring 6B is attached. When it is rotated from the extended use position to the use position by the force in the direction of the use position via the interlocking mechanism, it is easy to use because it is braked by the damper 5 and slowly rotated. Further, the arms 2 and 3 are pivotally supported in the recess or in the case 1 respectively, and at least the tips (main portions 21 and 31) side excluding the base portions 20 and 30 are vertically arranged at the storage position so as to protrude. Since the two arms are used to improve the holding characteristics, the width of the entire apparatus can be suppressed. In addition, in this structure, as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 5B, in the holding state in which the umbrella A or the like is held, the first arm 1 or the second arm 2 moves in the direction of the arrow through the umbrella or the like. When the shock load is received, the arms 1 and 2 are further rotated in the opening direction and switched to the breakage prevention position, so that the usability and reliability can be improved.

(2nd form) Like the said 1st form, this holding | maintenance apparatus is the case 7 which divides the recess by the side of the vehicle interior member, as shown in FIGS. Arms 2 and 3 that are pivotally supported and housed in the case and can be switched to a projecting state in which the front end protrudes out of the case, and each arm 2 and 3 can be released to the storage position against the urging force. The striker 24 and the latch device 55 are provided, and the arms 2 and 3 are of a type that holds an umbrella or the like between the interior member or the opening edge side of the recess at the use position. The main part includes a first spring 6A that allows the arms 2 and 3 to be switched to a use position rotated by a predetermined angle from the storage position by an urging force, and an enlarged use position or an angle at which the arms 2 and 3 are further increased from the use position. The biasing force is accumulated in the process of independently switching to the breakage prevention position, and the first spring 6A having a larger spring load than the first spring 6A which can be switched from the extended use position or the breakage prevention position to the use position again by the accumulated biasing force. 11B, for example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the urging force of the second springs 6C and 6D is exerted by the stress when the arms 2 and 3 press the umbrella A against the arm tip side in the use position.
