Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a container holder for an automobile, which is also suitable for a disposable type and which locks and holds a beverage container in an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when a person picks up a cup containing coffee, soup, soft drinks, etc. at a drive-through shop while riding in a car, it is impossible to take one's hands off the container while inside the car.

In order to solve this inconvenience, container holders have been devised that can be secured to the interior window frame portion and hold the container, but these have mostly been made of metal materials.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As described above, since conventional container holders for automobiles were made of metal, they were expensive, could not be disposed of, and were extremely inconvenient to store in the cramped interior of a car.

The present invention is an assembly type, and before assembly, it is almost flat, making it convenient to store without wasting space.It is easy to assemble and can securely hold the container, making it an ideal automotive container holder for disposable use that can be easily mass-produced. The purpose is to provide ingredients.

[Means to solve the problem]

To explain the structure specifically, the present invention has a belt-shaped support having a vertical surface in contact with the body of the container on the upper part of the frame, which has a locking member that is locked to the window frame in the automobile at the upper end. Holding in which both ends of the member are connected so as to be bendable at right angles, and the band-like member is elastically and forcefully passed over both ends and locked near the end of the band-like support member.

This container holder for an automobile is characterized in that the members are connected, and further, a container bottom tray that can be bent at right angles and a stopper that fits into the container are connected to the lower part of the frame.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the vicinity of the tip of the locking member is bent for convenience when locking to a window frame inside an automobile, and the other portion is stored flat. When in use, the saucer at the bottom of the lower container is bent approximately at right angles to the frame and is fitted into a stopper to maintain that position. In addition, the upper band-shaped support member is bent almost at right angles to the frame body and in the same direction as the saucer, but both sides of the band-shaped support member are forcibly pushed downward to elastically ride over both ends of the holding member and are locked. ,
Preventing the strip support member from returning upward.

After assembling in this way, the locking member can be locked to the window frame inside the car, and the container can be inserted from the band-shaped support member.
The body of the container is held in contact with the vertical surface of the strip support member;
The bottom of the container is held on a saucer. In addition, since the band-shaped support member is held at both ends of the holding member and the saucer is fitted into the stopper, their vertical position from the frame is ensured and they remain parallel to each other, ensuring that the container is held securely. be done.

Furthermore, the tray at the bottom of the container can also hold small-diameter containers or straight containers without a taper, such as canned beverages or canned beer.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an unassembled structure, in which a locking member L is bent in advance so that its upper end is locked to a window frame inside an automobile. Connected to the upper part of the frame 2 are both ends of a band-shaped support member 4 which can be bent at a nearly right angle and has a vertical surface 3 in contact with the body of the container C (see FIG. 3). A holding member 5 that is slightly wider than the distance between both ends is connected to the vicinity of the end of the band-shaped support member 4, and when the band-shaped support member 4 is bent at right angles, both ends are forced to elastically overcome the band-shaped support member 4 and the band-shaped support member 5 is The member 4 is prevented from returning upwards (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

Furthermore, a saucer 7 at the bottom of the container C can be bent at a substantially right angle in the same direction as the belt-shaped support member 4, and a stopper connected to the lower part of the frame 2 below the belt-shaped support member 4 and the holding member 5 is provided. The claw portion 7a of the saucer is attached to the fitting portion 9 formed in 8.
are connected so that they are fitted and locked.

As shown in Figures 1.3 and 5, there is one part where the saucer 7 is fitted and locked with the stopper 8, and there is one where the saucer 7 connects to the frame 2, and there are two parts on the stopper 8. The fitting part 9,
In addition to fitting and locking at 9, as shown in FIG. Good too.

It is preferable that such a container holder is integrally molded from plastic or the like.

Although not shown in the drawings, advertising characters 1 can be placed at an appropriate position 1 at the tip of the locking member l, for example, on the surface of a bent curved part.
It may also be desirable to form graphics or other indicia.

Furthermore, due to the structure of the present invention, when locking to the window frame inside the car, if the central door lock, power window operating device, etc. installed in the car come into contact, the length of the locking member l should be adjusted. Just make sure it looks a little short.

As shown in FIG. 2, the assembly consists of bending the lower tray 7 almost at right angles to the frame 2, fitting and locking it into the fitting part 9 of the stopper 8, and holding it in that position. While bending the upper band-shaped support member 4 at almost right angles to the frame body 2 in the same direction as the saucer 7, both sides of the band-shaped support member are forcibly pushed down, and both ends of the holding member 5 are elastically overcome and the locking part 6 This prevents the band-shaped support member 4 from returning downward.

Therefore, the belt-shaped support member 4 and the saucer 7 are maintained at approximately right angles to the frame 2.

Therefore, before or after locking the locking member 1 to the window frame inside the automobile, the container C is inserted from the upper band-shaped support member 4 side, and the container C is aligned with the vertical surface 3 of the band-shaped support member 4. saucer 7
It is securely held by the holder and is secured to the window frame, and is convenient for holding a straight container without a taper, such as when the container C is small in diameter, or a can of beer or a can of beer.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the following effects are achieved.

First, mass production is easy because it can be integrally molded from plastic. Therefore, compared to conventional container holders of this type that partially use metal materials, they can be supplied at an extremely low cost.

Second, before use, a large number of actual quantities of the present invention can be stacked and stored without occupying space, which is very effective in terms of product management.

Thirdly, during use, the container is easy to assemble and does not come out of shape, and the container can be held securely and safely for consumption.

Fourth, in the case of conventional holders, as mentioned above, some of the constituent members are made of metal, so for example,
If you encounter an unexpected accident such as a collision while driving,
There was a risk that the metal material would unintentionally turn into a deadly weapon, resulting in a type of secondary disaster. However, the actual flow rate of the present invention is as follows.

Since it is made entirely of thin plastic, there are no concerns mentioned above.

Fifth, since the locking members of conventional holders are usually made of metal, they are tightly attached to the window frame inside the car with force, so they are difficult to hold each time the window is opened or closed. When the device itself was attached and removed for cleaning etc., it caused damage to the attachment part and sometimes caused unpleasant noises.
In the case of the present invention, there is no such fear.

Sixthly, if a sign such as advertising characters is applied to the locking member, the band-shaped support member, etc., it can be used for advertising or other purposes.

There is something extremely appealing about it.
