Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention (industrial application field) This invention relates to a cool box used for refrigerating tea, coffee, soft drinks, fruits, etc. in vehicles such as automobiles, and in particular, This relates to a structure for mounting a water bottle inside a box.

(Prior Art) This type of vehicle cool box is designed to be able to removably attach a water bottle for keeping tea or coffee cool. Conventionally, the following three types of mounting structures or installation methods are known.

How to lay a water bottle on the bottom of the Cool Box.

A mounting hole is provided in the center of the water bottle, and a screw is passed through the hole and screwed onto the back of the Cool Box lid.

On both inner sides of the Coolbox internal case,
A structure in which multiple ribs are provided at intervals equal to the thickness of the water bottle, and the water bottle is fitted between these ribs.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the above method, the water bottle and its contents swell at the bottom of the cool box because the water bottle swells due to filling with the contents such as tea or freezing. It had the disadvantage of being unstable and wobbling.

Further, with the structure of , there was a problem that when the contents were frozen, the lid that was in close contact with the water bottle was cooled and dew condensed on the surface (upper surface) of the lid.

In the above structure, the water bottle could not be attached between the ribs due to the bulge, and the fitting became difficult. Furthermore, since the ribs protrude inside the inner case, there was a problem in that the ribs hit contents other than the water bottle and got in the way.

Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides grooves 11 to 13 on both inner walls of the inner case 9 and protrusions 16 on both sides of the water bottle 15. forming the groove 1
By fitting and removing the protrusion 16 into 1 to 13,
A measure was taken to removably attach the water bottle 15 inside the cool box.

(Function) Just by fitting and removing the protrusion 16 into the grooves 11 to 13,
The water bottle 15 can be easily attached and detached, and the detachment force is also light.

Further, even if the water bottle 15 swells a little due to filling with tea or other contents or freezing, the protrusion 16 will not deform, so the above-mentioned attachment and detachment will not become impossible or the attachment and detachment force will not increase.

Furthermore, since the water bottle is not in close contact with the lid, even if the contents freeze, there will be no condensation on the surface (upper surface) of the lid. In addition, since grooves 11 and 13, which are recesses, are formed in the inner case 9, even when contents other than a water bottle are put in, the grooves 11 to 13
doesn't get in the way in any way.

(Example) An example in which this invention is embodied in a cool box for an automobile will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The main body 1 is formed as a rectangular container with trapezoidal sides whose height increases toward the rear. An outer case 2 made of synthetic resin is disposed on the outer shell of the main body 1, and four legs 3 are integrally protruded from the back surface of the outer case 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, two elongated holes 4 are provided at the left and right ends of the lower rear surface of the outer case 2, and both elongated holes 4 communicate with a communication hole 1 inside the outer case 2.

After being pulled out and extending rearward, it is turned in one turn to form an annular portion 6 and fixed with rivets 7.

A block-shaped fastening body 8 is fastened within the annular portion 6. In this embodiment, the anchoring body 8 is made of an elastic body made of foamed polyethylene, and has a diameter of 30 mm and a length of 90 mm.
It is formed into a cylindrical shape.

Furthermore, the distance from the rear surface of the outer case 2 to the attachment body 8 is set to 50 mm by the extension member 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, an inner case 9 made of synthetic resin is attached to the inside of the main body 1 at a predetermined distance from the outer case 2.
A heat insulating material (not shown) is provided between the inner case 9 and the inner case 9.
is interposed. A first groove 11 and a second groove 1 are provided in both inner walls of the inner case 9 from front to back.
Three sets of grooves, ie, the second and third grooves 13, are provided so as to face each other. A partition plate 14 is removably inserted into one or both of the first groove 11 and the second groove 12.

Further, a thin water bottle 15 is removably inserted into one of the grooves 11 to 13. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the water bottle 15 is formed of synthetic resin as a thin rectangular container, and a spout cap 42 is disposed in a recess 41 provided at one corner of the water bottle 15. A concave portion 43 with the bottoms joined is provided at approximately the center of both sides of the water bottle 15 to prevent the water bottle 15 from swelling when filled with contents such as tea or frozen. ing. Further, curved protrusions 16 are integrally formed on both sides of the water bottle 15, and by fitting these protrusions 16 into the grooves 11 to 13,
The water bottle 15 is locked. At this time, the curved protrusion 16 is brought into contact with the inner surfaces of the grooves 11 to 13, or is elastically bent and pressed against the inner surfaces.

A flange 17 formed at the upper end of the inner case 9
The front end thereof is curved downward, and a slightly lower step 18 is formed at the front end. A synthetic resin front lid 19 curved to match the flange 17 is attached to the front end of the stepped portion 18 so as to be openable and closable via an integral hinge 20. The integral hinge 20 refers to a resin hinge that is integrally formed with the front lid 19 by utilizing the bending resistance of synthetic resin. A rear lid 21 is attached to the rear end of the flange 17 so as to be openable and closable by an integral hinge 22, and both lids 19 and 21 meet slightly in front of the center of the flange 17. Further, a magnet 23 is attached to the flange 17, and a magnetic plate 24 attached to both lids 19 and 21 is attached to the flange 17.
is attracted by magnetic force.

Next, a method for attaching the automobile cool box constructed as described above to the seat will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG.
Place the main body 1 on top of it. Although the seat 25 is often a rear seat, it may of course be a front seat. At this time, the seat portion 26 of the seat 25 is inclined and slightly lowered at the rear, but as described above, the height of the main body 1 increases toward the rear, so the upper surface of the cool box is approximately horizontal. Next, the attachment body 8 is connected to the seat portion 26 of the seat 25,
It is inserted between the back part 27 which is in pressure contact with this.
The fastening body 8 is sandwiched and fastened approximately at the center of the press-contact portion of the seat portion 26 and the back portion 27. Since the extending member 5 connects the anchoring body 8 and the main body 1, the main body 1 has its rear surface in contact with or close to the back portion 27, and the seat 2
5.

With the simple fixing process described above, the Coolbox can be attached to the seat 25 in a short time, and even if the car vibrates, stops suddenly, or goes down a steep slope, it will not move easily. There is no possibility of the user falling off the seat 25.

According to the present embodiment described above, the groove 1 of any one of the sets
The water bottle 15 can be easily attached and detached by simply fitting or removing the protrusions 16 to 1 to 13,
Its ability to put on and take off is also light. In addition, since the curved protrusion 16 contacts the inner surface of the grooves 11 to 13 or bends elastically to press the inner surface, there is no play between them, and even if the main body 1 vibrates, the water bottle 15 will not come off. I can't wait.

Further, even if the water bottle 15 swells a little due to filling with tea or other contents or freezing, the projection 16 will not deform, so the above-mentioned detachment will not become impossible or the detachment force will not increase.

In addition, since the water bottle 15 is not in close contact with the lids 19 and 21, even if the contents freeze, the lid
No condensation on the surfaces (upper surfaces) of 9 and 21. In addition, since grooves 11 to 13, which are concave portions, are formed in the inner case 9, even when contents other than the water bottle 15 are put therein, the grooves 11 to 13 do not get in the way at all.

Furthermore, a plurality of sets of grooves 11 to 13 are provided in the internal case 9.
Since the water bottle 15 is provided, the setting position of the water bottle 15 can be changed arbitrarily, and in particular, by always keeping the water bottle 15 close to the contents, the contents can be kept cold under optimal conditions. Moreover, since the water bottle 15 also serves as a partition, it is possible to suppress the contents from flopping around to a minimum.

It should be noted that this invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above, and can be embodied as follows, for example.

(1) The shape and dimensions of the protrusions provided on both sides of the water bottle 15 are not limited to the protrusions 16, and may be arbitrarily provided, such as small protrusions, protrusions, etc. However, as mentioned above, in order to prevent the water bottle 15 from wobbling, the groove 11
It is desirable that the shape and dimensions are such that it comes into contact with the inner surface of 13 or elastically bends and presses the inner surface.

(2) At least one set of grooves should be provided in the inner case 9, and the position thereof is not limited, but it is desirable to provide multiple sets in a distributed manner.

Effects of the invention As detailed above, the present invention not only allows the water bottle to be easily attached and detached from the Cool Box, but also has a light attachment and detachment force. However, it has the excellent effect of not making it impossible to attach or detach it, or increasing the detachment force, and that there is no condensation on the surface of the lid, and there is no problem when putting contents other than a water bottle into the Cool Box. play.
