Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage device for an automobile.

In a cabover vehicle, as shown in Fig. 1, the upper part of the heater unit a is fixed to the instrument panel b, and the lower part of the heater unit a is fixed to the cabin floor c. There is no gap between the two, but with a small cab floor, the engine, radiator, etc. are also smaller,
If the vehicle interior floor c is lowered as shown in Fig. 2 and the heater unit a is of the same shape and size, a gap s will be formed between the heater unit a and the vehicle interior floor c. The problem is that the lower part of the heater unit a must be supported by a support member d attached to the vehicle interior floor c or the torch board e, and the portion of the support member d becomes a dead space, making it impossible to use the vehicle interior space effectively. was occurring.

This proposal addresses the above-mentioned problem, and is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems in automobiles in which the upper part of the heater unit is attached to the instrument panel and a gap is formed between the lower part of the heater unit and the cabin floor. A support member supported on the vehicle body side, a bracket attached to the support member and extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and a storage container supported by the bracket so as to be pulled out in a substantially horizontal direction and stored in the gap; A first pin having a substantially oval cross section extending in the pulling direction and extending substantially perpendicularly to the drawing direction on both sides of the item container, and a first pin extending in the same direction as the first pin behind the first pin. A second pin with a circular cross section protruding from the bracket and a guide portion formed at the front portion of the bracket to guide the first pin in a substantially horizontal direction elastically clamp the first pin at the retracted position. a first elastic tongue having a clamping portion;
a second elastic tongue formed at the rear of the bracket to elastically clamp the second pin in the storage position; when the storage case is pulled out, the second pin is removed from the second elastic tongue An object of the present invention relates to a storage device for an automobile, characterized in that the first pin is brought into contact with the second elastic tongue after the pin has been pulled out, so that the storage container can be rotated around the abutting position. In this way, the support member supporting the lower part of the heater unit can also be used as a support member for the storage compartment, and the space in the vehicle interior below the heater unit can be used effectively without increasing weight or cost. Another object of the present invention is to provide a storage device for an automobile that allows storage of items in and out of the storage without being obstructed by a change lever or the like located nearby.

Next, the automobile storage device of the present invention will be explained using an embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 7. In FIG. 3, 1 is a heater unit, 2 is an instrument panel, and the upper part of the heater unit 1 is the instrument panel 2. Fixed. 3 is a toe board, 4 and 4 in FIGS. 3 and 4 are cantilever support members fixed to the toe board 3, and 5 is a bridge connecting each of the support members 4, and the lower part of the heater unit 1 is the same. It is fixed to the bridge 5. Also, 6 and 6 in Figures 4 and 5 are brackets, 6a
6b is the first elastic tongue provided at the front of each bracket 6, and 6b is the second elastic tongue provided at the rear of each bracket 6.
Each bracket 6 has an elastic tongue piece 6.
A and 6b are integrally molded from a synthetic resin material. It may also be made of sheet metal. Further, 7 is a screw for fixing each bracket 6 to the inner surface of the support member 4, 8 in FIGS. 4, 6, and 7 is a storage container, and 8a is a screw having an approximately oval cross section provided at the front of both sides of the storage container 8. The first pin 8b is a second pin with a substantially circular cross section provided at the rear of both sides of the item holder, and the item holder 8 is integrally formed with the pins 8a and 8b. Third
In the figure, 9 is a floor of the vehicle interior, and s is a gap formed between the floor 9 of the vehicle interior and the heater unit 1.

The solid line in FIG. 7 indicates the storage position of the storage compartment. On the other hand, the vicinity of the lower end of the change lever (not shown) is located to the right (rear) of the storage compartment 8 and is bent in a dogleg shape toward the storage compartment 8. Therefore, the storage compartment 8 cannot be inserted horizontally between the brackets 6 and 6 from the change lever side,
Although it is not possible to horizontally take it out between the brackets 6 and 6 in the direction of the change lever, the present automobile storage device is constructed as described above, and when inserting it from the change lever side into between the brackets 6, 6. As shown by the two-dot chain line, insert the first pin 8a between the brackets 6, 6 diagonally from above without interfering with the change lever, and insert the first pin 8a into the first elastic tongue piece 6a.
Then, the second pins 8b are respectively engaged with the second elastic tongues 6b and held in the retracted position shown by the solid line. In addition, when taking out the storage compartment 8 after that, pull it diagonally downward from the storage position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the broken line → to the position indicated by the dashed dotted line so as not to interfere with the change lever.
The pin 8a is brought into contact with the back of the second elastic tongue piece 6b and held at the extracted position indicated by the same dotted chain line, and when the object has been taken out and put in, the second elastic tongue piece 6b is inserted again.

The automobile storage device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and can achieve the following effects. That is, () A bracket 6 is provided on the support members 4 and 5 that support the lower part of the heater unit 1, and the first elastic tongue piece 6a and the second elastic tongue piece 6b provided on the bracket 6 are connected to the storage case 8. The formed first pin 8a and second pin 8b are removably engaged to attach the storage compartment 8, and the space between the lower part of the heater unit 1 and the compartment floor 9 is saved. The storage space of storage compartment 8 can be effectively used.

() When the storage compartment 8 is pulled out, the first pin 8a formed on the storage compartment 8 comes into contact with the back of the second elastic tongue piece 6b formed on the bracket 6, and the storage compartment 8 is rotated around the contact position. The amount of horizontal withdrawal into the vehicle interior is regulated to a predetermined amount, and then it rotates downward and comes into contact with the upper surface of the vehicle interior floor 9, and is held in that state.
Since the storage compartment 8 faces downward, even if a change lever etc. is installed in the passenger compartment near the storage compartment 8,
You can easily take things in and out without being obstructed by a change lever or the like.

() The first pin 8a formed at the front of both side walls of the storage compartment 8 is formed into an oval cross-sectional shape that is long in the pulling direction, and the first pin 8a is
Since the first elastic tongue piece 6a is formed with a guide portion that guides the storage space 8 in the horizontal direction, the storage space 8 can be easily positioned in the horizontal direction when the storage space 8 is stored. There are effects that can be done.
