[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a coin box provided on the instrument panel of the driver's seat of an automobile, the top surface of a console box, or the like.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as this type of coin box, a box base is provided on the instrument panel, and a plurality of coin storage slit pockets are formed in a row in a vertical direction on the box base, and the front of the box is provided with a box base. A coin box for an automobile (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 49-3236) has been proposed in which coins can be taken out by picking the coin or by inserting a finger from the rear side of the box and pushing out the stored coin.

In addition, as another coin box, a recess is bored on the top surface of the hole cover of the console box.
A hole cover (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1987-87737) has been disclosed which also serves as a storage for small items, in which the inside of the recess is partitioned by a partition wall.

In addition, as another coin box, a lid is provided at the coin entrance and a sliding plate is provided inside, and the stored coins can be stored by gradually moving the sliding plate to the coin entrance using the action of a coil spring and a stopper. A coin storage device for use in automobiles that allows coins to be taken out one by one from the coin entrance with an open lid.
96293) has been disclosed.

Furthermore, as a separate coin box, an opening for putting coins in and out is provided in the side wall, and a holding device is provided that can slide on the opening while standing upright against the wall surface, and the holding device holds the coins. discloses a cylindrical coin holder (Utility Model Publication No. 53-25594) that holds coins stored in a stack.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the automobile coin box disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-3236, it is difficult to take out coins when the spacing between the slit pockets is narrowed, and on the other hand, when the spacing is widened, the box base is There was a problem with the length and the need for a large space. Further, if the device is installed in a position where it is difficult to insert fingers into the rear side of an instrument panel, etc., there is a problem in that the effect of making it easier to take out the device is diminished.

In addition, the hole cover shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 48-87737, which also serves as an accessory case, has the advantage of preventing coins from falling sideways due to the partition wall, but when the coins are filled to the fullest extent in the recess, There was a problem that it was difficult to take out the coins.

Furthermore, unlike the above two coin boxes, the coin storage device for the interior of a car disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-96293 has a complicated mechanism, although it is easy to take out coins due to the pushing action of the spring on the sliding plate.
It was necessary to pull out the coin container from the instrument panel and then open the lid, which resulted in poor operability. Also, due to the mechanism, there was a problem that the coin could not be withdrawn from the top.

Furthermore, in the coin holder shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-25594, the holding tool only has the function of sliding and holding the coin, but does not have the function of taking out the coin, so it is difficult to place the coin inside the holder. Once fully filled, coins cannot be taken out. For this reason, this coin holder had the disadvantage that the amount of coins it could hold was small compared to its overall volume.

The purpose of this invention is to be able to store more coins without taking up more space than conventional ones, and to prevent coins from falling sideways when there are not enough coins with a simple mechanism.
To provide a coin box for an automobile from which coins can be easily taken out even when the box is filled with coins.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 4, which correspond to embodiments.

The present invention is provided in the driver's seat of a car, and is formed so that a plurality of coins C can be stacked and stored inside an open box body 1, and the coins can be taken in and out from the opening. This is an improvement to an automobile coin box equipped with a partition plate that separates multiple coins.

Its distinctive feature is that a coin removal piece 7 for taking out coins stored at the edge of the partition plate 2 is provided perpendicularly to the surface of the partition plate 2.
A handle 8 that protrudes from the stored coin is provided at the top of the box body 1, and a first groove 5 into which the edge of the partition plate 2 can be inserted and removed, and a second groove into which the coin removal piece 7 can be inserted and removed are provided on the inner surface of the box body 1. 6 are respectively formed, and the partition plate 2 is fixed upright on the inner surface of the box body 1 with its edge portion inserted into the first groove 5 and the coin takeout piece 7 inserted into the second groove 6. It is in.

[Function] When the number of stored coins C is small, the partition plate 2 prevents the coins from falling sideways. Further, when the box is filled with coins, by holding the handle 8 and pulling out the partition plate 2, the coins adjacent to the partition plate 2 are pulled out together with the partition plate 2 by the take-out piece 7.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a box body, 2 is a partition plate, and 3 is a claw for attaching the box. The box body 1 opens upward and is formed into a semi-cylindrical shape so that a plurality of coins C can be stacked and stored therein, and coins can be taken in and out from the opening. A first groove 5 and a second groove 6 are bored in the inner surface of the box body 1. The groove 5 is provided on the entire inner surface of the box body 1 on an imaginary plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the box body 1. The groove 6 is perpendicular to the groove 5 at the center of its bottom surface and has a length equal to the thickness of one coin.

The partition plate 2 has a thickness that allows it to be inserted into and removed from the groove 5,
Its outer shape is formed into a semicircular shape transverse to the box body 1. Coin removal pieces 7 are provided at the edge of the center of the bottom of the partition plate 2 perpendicularly to the surface of the partition plate, in this example on both the left and right sides of the figure. This extraction piece 7 has dimensions that allow it to be inserted into and removed from the groove 6, and is embedded in the groove 6 in the inserted state. Furthermore, a handle 8 is provided at the top of the partition plate 2 to protrude from the stored coins.

In a coin box having such a structure, the box mounting claw 3 is attached to a hole in an instrument panel (not shown), the partition plate 2 is inserted into the groove 5,
At the same time, the take-out piece 7 is aligned and inserted into the groove 6. As a result, the partition plate 2 is fixed upright on the inner surface of the box body 1. In this state, coin C is put into the box body 1. When the number of coins C stored is small, the coins C are
This prevents the machine from falling sideways. Furthermore, when the box body 1 is filled with coins C, by pulling out the partition plate 2, the coins adjacent to the partition plate 2 are caught in the take-out piece 7 and pulled out together with the partition plate 2. Figure 4).

FIG. 5 is an example of another coin box. In this example, the cross-sectional shape of the box body 11 is a semicircle and a rectangle formed by extending both end edges of the semicircle in the tangential direction. A first groove 15 is provided over the entire inner surface as in the embodiment described above, and a second groove 16 wider than that in the embodiment described above is provided perpendicular to the groove 15. The partition plate 12 is formed to correspond to the cross-sectional shape of the box body 11, and has a semicircular portion 12a and a rectangular portion 12b. In addition, a coin removal piece 17 that can be inserted into and removed from the groove 16 is provided at the edge of the bottom center of the partition plate 12.
is provided perpendicularly to the surface of the partition plate.

When the partition plate 12 is inserted into the groove 15, its rectangular part 12b is guided by the straight line part of the groove 15, and the take-out piece 17 of the partition plate 12 automatically comes to the center position of the box body 11, and the rectangular part 12b is guided by the straight part of the groove 15. alignment is performed. This allows the removal piece 17 to be easily inserted into the groove 16.
can be housed within. When the partition plate 12 is pulled out, the coins do not fall from the take-out piece 17 because the take-out piece 17 is wide.

FIG. 6 shows yet another example of a coin box. In this example, a coin removal piece 27 is provided perpendicularly to the surface of the partition plate 22 at the edge of the partition plate 22 except for the upper end. The protruding length of this take-out piece 27 has a thickness equivalent to, for example, three coins. Although the box body is not shown in the drawings, a groove is provided on its inner surface into which the take-out piece 27 can be inserted and removed, as in the previous embodiment.

By pulling out the partition plate 22, six coins can be taken out from the box body at once.

Note that the coin removal pieces 7, 17, shown in the above example
The protrusion length of 27 is just an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Further, although an example has been shown in which the extraction pieces are provided on both sides of the partition plate, they may be provided on one side.

[Effects of the invention] As mentioned above, the coin box of this invention can store more coins without taking up more space than conventional ones, and its simple mechanism prevents coins from falling sideways when there are few coins. , and has the excellent effect of allowing coins to be easily taken out even if the box is full of coins.
