An example of a conventional automobile tip holder is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-7042. As shown in FIG. 4, an annular protruding edge 31 is provided on the inside of a lid plate 30 that closes an opening of a glove box provided in an instrument panel (not shown), and inside this annular protruding edge 31, canned food, Vertical container 32 such as a pot
It stands up and holds it. 33
is a support shaft that rotatably supports the lid plate 30 in the opening of the glove box.

However, in such a conventional cup holder, if the height of the annular convex edge 31 is low, the vertically long container 32 may fall over due to vibrations of an automobile or the like. Therefore, in order to prevent the vertically long container 32 from falling over, the height of the annular protruding edge 31 should be increased, but in this case, when the lid plate 30 is closed, the height of the annular protruding edge 31 is increased. Because of the height, the annular convex edge 31 protrudes into the glove box, which restricts the size of items stored in the glove box. There was a problem in that the convex edge 31 became an obstacle and prevented taking in and out of stored items.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed by focusing on these conventional problems, such as preventing things from being put in and taken out,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pot holder for an automobile that can stably hold a vertically long container such as a pot without restricting the storage size of stored items.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 designates a glove box provided in an instrument panel 2 of an automobile, and the lower end of a lid plate 3 that closes an opening of the glove box is connected to the lower part of the opening via a hinge 4. 5 is an arc-shaped stopper whose one end side is fixed to the inner end of the cover plate 3;
When the cover plate 3 is tilted toward the front, the cover plate 3 is stopped at a horizontal position. Reference numeral 6 denotes a resin undulating plate which is bored in the width direction with a through hole 7 into which a vertically long container 32 such as a pot is inserted, and two undulating plates made of resin in the approximately central part in the length direction, and a width direction which divides the through hole 7 into approximately two equal parts. It is constituted by a first bending plate part 9 and a second bending plate part 10 which are successively arranged on the left and right with a first thin hinge 8 formed at the position as a boundary. The first bending plate portion 9 is rotatably connected to the inner end of one side of the outer peripheral frame 11 surrounding the undulating plate 6 via a second thin hinge 12. 13 is the second part of the undulating plate 6;
Engagement protrusions connected to both sides of one side of the second bending plate 10 via a third thin hinge 14 so as to protrude outward from the sides of the second bending plate 10; A first engagement step, a second engagement step, and a third engagement step, which will be described later.
It is designed so that it can be engaged with the engagement stepped portion of the holder. As shown in FIG. 2, the first thin-walled hinge 8 has a substantially V-shaped cross section, and the first thin-walled hinge 8 is used as a bending point to connect the first bent plate portion 9 and the first bent plate portion 9. The second bending plate part 10 can stand up in a mountain shape. Reference numeral 15 denotes first engaging step portions formed on both sides of the other inner end of the outer peripheral frame 11, and the undulating plate 6
The engaging stepped portion 13 is adapted to engage when the undulating plate 6 is in the lying state. Reference numeral 16 denotes a second engagement step formed on the inner side of the outer peripheral frame 11, and when the engagement protrusion 13 engages with the second engagement step, the first
The folding plate part 9 and the second folding plate part 10 can be held upright in a chevron shape.
Reference numeral 17 denotes a third engagement step portion formed on the inner side of the outer circumferential frame 11 apart from the second engagement step portion 16, and when the engagement protrusion 13 engages with the third engagement step portion 16, the first engagement step portion 17 The vertical height of the folding plate portion 9 and the second folding plate portion 10 can be made higher than when engaged with the second engagement step portion 16. Reference numeral 18 denotes a knob cut out at the side end of the second bending plate 10, on which the undulating plate 6 can be raised by hooking the fingertip 19. 20 is the cover plate 3
A fitting recess formed inside the outer peripheral frame 13
The outer peripheral frame 11 connected to the undulating plate 6 is fitted so that the surface of the cover plate 3 matches the surface of the cover plate 3. Numeral 21 is a screw for screwing the outer peripheral frame 11 to the cover plate 3. Reference numeral 22 denotes a recess for holding the bottom of the container, which is provided inside the lid plate 3, and allows the undulating plate 6 to stand up, thereby preventing the bottom of the vertically long container 32 fitted into the through hole 7 of the undulating plate 6 from shifting laterally. It is designed to hold.

That is, by lifting up the knob 18 of the undulating plate 6 from the lying state shown in FIG.
1 from the first engagement step 15 of the undulating plate 6 and further engages the engagement protrusion 13 with the second engagement step 16 formed on the outer peripheral frame 11. The curved plate portion 9 and the second bent plate portion 10 are
As shown in the figure, it is held upright in a mountain shape with the first thin hinge 8 as the bending point. Therefore, the through holes 7 formed in the undulating plate 6 are formed approximately in half each in both the first bending plate 9 and the second bending plate 10 with the first thin hinge 8 as the boundary. Therefore, when the undulating plate 6 is in an upright state, the through holes 7
is located at the top of the chevron formed by abutting the first bent plate part 9 and the second bent plate part 10, and a vertically long container 32 such as a pot that fits into the through hole 7 can be supported at a high position, so when the cover plate 3 is used as a horizontal table,
Lid plate 3 without overturning a vertically long container such as a pot
The effect can be obtained that it can be placed on the inner surface side.

Furthermore, when the undulating plate 6 is not in use, the undulating plate 6 can be stored in a lying state on the inner surface of the lid plate 3 without protruding from the inner surface.
The size of the stored items stored in the glove box 1 is not restricted by the undulating plate 6, and the effect that stored items can be taken in and out of the glove box 1 smoothly can be obtained.

In this embodiment, the undulating plate 6 is provided on the cover plate 3 of the glove box 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may also be attached to a cover plate of a console box or the like installed in the interior of an automobile. good.

Further, the engagement protrusion 13 provided at one side end of the second bending plate portion 10 is rotatably connected via the third thin hinge 14, but the invention is not limited to this. Instead, the engaging protrusions or the like may be directly extended outward from both sides of one side of the second bent plate portion 10. In short, when the undulating plate 6 is in the lying state, the inner surface of the lid plate 3 Any material may be used as long as it can engage with the first engagement step 15 without protruding from the surface, and can further engage with the second engagement step 16 and the third engagement step 17.

[Summary of the invention] As explained above, the present invention has a central part and both ends on the inside of the lid plate 3 that closes the opening of the storage box 1 such as a glove box or console box provided in the interior of an automobile. One end of the undulating plate 6, which is deformed into a flat plate shape and a gable roof shape, is fixed by thin hinges 8 and 12 provided at three locations, and the other end of this undulating plate 6 and the lid plate 3 are engaged with each other. Engagement portions 13, 1 that removably engage to secure the undulating plate 6 in a flat plate-like state and a gable roof-like state, respectively.

[Effect of the invention] Therefore, according to the automobile cup holder according to the invention, the undulating plate provided on the inside of the lid plate can be changed from a flat plate-like state stored in the lid plate to a gable roof on the inside of the lid plate. By making the container stand upright and fitting a container such as a pot into a hole formed in the undulating plate, the container can be supported at a high position. Therefore, when using the lid plate as a horizontal table, containers such as pots can be placed thereon without tipping over.

In addition, since the undulating plate assumes a gable roof-like state when erected, even if an external force is applied to the undulating plate standing up in a gable roof shape,
The erected undulation plate does not easily deform or fall down, and therefore the pots can be stably erected without tipping over.

In addition, since the undulation plate can be stored in a flat state on the lid plate, the undulation plate does not protrude into the storage box when the lid plate is closed, so that the size of the items stored in the storage box is smaller than that of the undulation plate. In addition to being free from restrictions, it also has the effect of allowing you to smoothly take in and take out stored items.
