Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a vehicular pot holder for holding a container such as a pot.

[Conventional technology]

Vehicles are sometimes provided with means for holding containers, such as containers.

Conventionally, as such a means, a seating surface for holding a container is provided on the upper surface of the glove door or the upper surface of a front console when the glove door is opened, and the container is placed on this seating surface.
However, with such means, if the seating surface is shallow, the container may fall over if a relatively large shake occurs in the vehicle body while the vehicle is running. However, in order to deepen the seat surface, the grab door must be made thicker, resulting in a problem in that the effective space in the grab box or the passenger compartment is reduced, and the operability of the grab door is also deteriorated.

Additionally, if a container is placed on the top of the front console, the container will overlap with devices such as the ashtray and radio that are attached to the instrument panel above the front console, impairing the usability and operability of these devices. There was a problem. For this reason, conventionally, a pot stand as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 57-114737 has been considered. In this tip holder, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the tip holder 10 is attached to a mounting panel 12 (for example, an instrument panel or a front console).
It is designed to be used by being pulled out from the inside in a substantially horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 7, when this push holder 10 is used, the second holding member 14 is rotated around the bearing part 16, and the first holding member 14 is rotated.
8 and substantially form a deep seating surface, so that the container 20 can be held in a stable state with a compact configuration.

However, in the above pot holder 10, the container 20
is inserted into the insertion hole 22 formed in the first holding member 18 and held, but depending on the outer diameter of the container, it may not be possible to insert it into the insertion hole 22, or the inside Because of the looseness, the size of containers that can be held is limited.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention takes the above facts into account, and is capable of stably holding various containers with different outer diameters.
It is an object of the present invention to obtain a vehicle cup holder capable of suppressing rattling occurring in the cup holder main body or holder during storage operations, drawer operations, and vibrations of the vehicle in the stored state.

[Means to solve the problem]

The vehicle top holder according to the present invention is a vehicle top holder that can be stored in a drawer type in a mounting hole in the vehicle interior, and the holder main body that can be stored in the mounting hole and the side part of the holder main body are cut. When the holder body is between the drawn out state and the retracted state, and when the holder main body is between the drawn out state and the retracted state, includes a biasing means that presses the holding body into contact with the mounting hole and forms an expandable and contractible tip insertion hole of a predetermined size between the holding body and the holding part when the holder main body is in the drawn-out state. It is characterized by having

[Effect]

In the vehicle tip holder configured as described above, when the holder main body is in the drawn-out state, when the holder is moved in the direction of expanding the diameter of the tip insertion hole, the biasing means reduces the diameter of the tip insertion hole. is biased in the direction of Therefore, the tip inserted into the tip insertion hole is held between the tip holding part and the holder, and the tip is prevented from shaking.

Furthermore, when the holder is moved in a direction that reduces the diameter of the tip insertion hole, it is urged by the biasing means in a direction that expands the diameter of the tip insertion hole. For this reason, the tip insertion hole is maintained at a predetermined size, making it easier to insert the tip into the tip insertion hole.

On the other hand, when the holder main body is between the drawn-out state and the retracted state, or when it is in the retracted state, the holder is pressed into contact with the attachment hole by the biasing means. Therefore, it is possible to suppress rattling that occurs in the holder main body or the holding body during the storage operation and the drawer operation, as well as rattling due to vibrations of the vehicle in the stored state.

In this embodiment, the bottom of the tip 53 is inserted into the tip insertion hole 42 by rotating the holder 30 in the direction of arrow A in FIG.
Since the holding body 30 is urged by the torsion coil spring 32 and the holding parts 36 and 38 are pressed into contact with the circumferential wall of the tip, the holding body 30 is held without wobbling. Moreover, the tip insertion hole 42 is opened when the holder 30 is rotated in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3A.
Since the diameter is enlarged, it is possible to insert the tip 53 of different size, and even in this case, the holder 30 of the tip 53 is biased by the torsion coil spring 32 and the holding parts 36 and 38 press against the circumferential wall of the tip. It will be held without rattling. Therefore, it is possible to hold tips 53 of different sizes.

Further, in this embodiment, when the top holder 24 is housed in the mounting hole 50, the holder 30 is urged by the torsion coil spring 32 and presses into contact with the guide plate 48, so that there is no wobbling.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the tip holder 24 is accommodated in the mounting hole 50 and pulled out from the mounting hole 50 with the holding body 30 being urged by the torsion coil spring 32 and pressed into contact with the guide plate 48. , there is no wobbling during storage or drawer operations,
The operational feeling is improved.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the tip holder 24 is pulled out, the holder 30 is urged by the torsion coil spring 32 and rotated, so that it protrudes from the holder body 28 in the left-right direction, resulting in a compact structure. This allows the distance between the tip insertion holes 42 to be set large. This prevents the tip 53 from overlapping the operating section of the radio 54 when the tip holder 24 is used, and improves the operability of the radio 54.
