One of the protrusions 41 and 83 is formed. Here, the under panel 80 has a recess 83 However, each tray 40 has a convex portion 41 formed thereon. The recess 83 is located on the left and right sides of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80, as shown in FIGS. The tray 40 is located approximately at the center in the width direction and extends along the sliding direction of the tray 40. Yo Specifically, the recess 83 extends from the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80 to the slider of the tray 40. A pair of left and right guide rails that are raised along the guide direction and are located a little apart on the left and right. 84, 84 and both guide rails 84, into which the convex portion 41 of the tray 40 fits. It is composed of a guide groove 85 into which the guide groove 85 is inserted.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the front frame 110 has a tray approximately in the center of its lower edge. A concave slit 111 is formed through which the convex portion 41 of -40 passes. The width of slit 111 is The width of the guide groove 85 of the under panel 80 is approximately the same as that of the guide groove 85 described above. Additionally, a guide is provided on the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80, as shown in FIGS. 2, 7, and 8. A rack 86 is formed parallel to the drain rail 84 and engages with the gear 71 of the rotary damper 70. There is. Note that both the rack 86 and the guide rails 84 described above are attached to the under panel 80. Acts as a reinforcing rib for the bottom wall 81, preventing underpants from shrinking or warping of the resin during molding. Deformation of the flannel 80 is prevented.

0012 As shown in FIGS. A cross section extending approximately horizontally along the sliding direction of the tray 20 is placed on the lower side of each inner surface. Concave slide grooves 91 are respectively formed. In this slide groove 91, as shown in FIG. 6, a locking step 92 is formed in the middle of the length, and the locking step 92 becomes shallower. With the locking step 92 as the border, there is a shallow first groove 93 on the front side, and a second groove 94 that is deeper on the back side. is formed. The locking step portion 92 has a rubber material that fits into the second groove 84. An elastic member 95 is attached, and the maximum protrusion position of the tray 20 is determined by this elastic member 95. Regulated.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the tray 40 includes a tray body 42 and a tray body 42 attached to the front surface thereof. It consists of a front panel 43 that can be Above tray body 42 and front panel 43 is individually molded from resin.

It is composed of a storage section 44 and a mechanism section 45 formed on the back side of this storage section 44. has been done.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 6, 8 to 10, there is a A sloped surface 46 with an upward slope is formed so that it is easy to take out items stored inside the surface. There is. In addition, a flocked decorative sheet 47 is attached to the bottom of the storage portion 44, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 10. It is worn to enhance the sense of luxury.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 2, 6, 7, and 10, the mechanism section 45 includes a constant pressure spring 50 and a rotary damper. A par 70 is installed. First, the constant pressure spring 50 has a flat spring shape as shown in FIGS. 2, 6, 7, and 10. Due to the force of A hook member 52 is fixed to the end.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 10, the hook member 52 of the constant pressure spring 50 is inserted from below the mechanism part 45. It is pulled out, and then pulled out to the front side along the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80. In addition, it is hooked and locked onto the front edge of the bottom wall 81. Therefore, the constant pressure spring 50 is torsioned by the curling force that tries to wrap it around the spool 51. The ray 40 is biased in a direction to protrude from the opening front surface 31 of the housing 30.

[0017] In addition, an oil damper is used as the rotary damper 70, as shown in FIGS. 2, 6, and 7. uni, the gear 71 is fixed so as to protrude from below the mechanism part 45, and The protruding gear 71 is engaged with the rack 86 on the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80. There is. Therefore, when the tray 40 slides, the rotary damper 70 also moves integrally. When the gear 71 rotates due to meshing with the rack 86, the viscous resistance of the oil is reduced. Braking force due to resistance works.

[0018] In addition, as shown in FIGS. Two strips protrude toward each slide groove 91 on both side panels 90 of the tag 30. Ride pins 47 and 48 are attached to the left and right sides of the mechanism section 45, respectively. 2 pieces The slide pins 47 and 48 are made of metal and are fixed at the front and rear of the mechanism section 45, respectively. The diameter of the slide groove 91 is made to almost match the groove width of the slide groove 91.

[0019] The slide pin 47 on the front side protrudes relatively short, and its protrusion length is set at the side panel 90. The depth is made to match the depth of the shallower first groove 93. Also, the slide pin 48 on the back side is long. The length of the protrusion matches the depth of the deeper second groove 94 of the side panel 90. There is. Therefore, the two slide pins 47 and 48 fit into the slide groove 91 of the side panel 90. The slide pin 48 with the longer protrusion length slides along the shallower first groove. By colliding with the elastic member 95 located in front of the tray 20, the maximum protrusion position of the tray 20 is set to the standard. be controlled.

[0020] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 6, and 9, there are also integrally protrudes from toward each slide groove 91 of both side panels 90 of the housing 30. A pair of left and right guide protrusions 49, 49 are formed. Both guide protrusions 49 The protrusion length is made to match the depth of the shallower first groove 93 of the side panel 90. On the bottom surface of the tray 40, an under panel 80 is provided as shown in FIGS. A protrusion 41 that fits into a recess 83 on the top surface of the bottom wall 81 is integrally formed. The convex portion 41 is , a front rib 41 formed at the front and rear of the tray 40 and located at the front part of the tray 40. a, and a rear rib 41b located at the rear part of the tray 40.

[0021] The front rib 41a is used for storing the tray body 42, as shown in FIGS. It is located on the lower surface of the section 44 and extends relatively short toward the back from its front edge. stop The thickness of the front rib 41a is approximately the width of the guide groove 85 of the recess 83 of the under panel 80. It almost matches. The rear rib 41b is used for storing the tray body 42, as shown in FIGS. It is located across the lower surfaces of both the section 44 and the mechanism section 45, and extends toward the front from the rear edge of the mechanism section 45. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the tray 40 extends relatively long. It is set so that it protrudes slightly toward you from the opening front surface 31 of the housing 30. There is. The thickness of the rear rib 41b is equal to the thickness of the guide groove 85 of the recess 83 of the under panel 80. The width of the groove is approximately the same as that of the groove.

[0022] In addition, grease or the like (not shown) is contained in the guide groove 85 of the recess 83 of the under panel 80. is coated to reduce the frictional resistance between the ribs 41a and 41b, and also to reduce the frictional resistance in the guide groove 85. This reduces the looseness of both ribs 41a and 41b. The front panel 43 is attached to the housing 30 as shown in FIGS. It is set to be one size larger than the opening of the front frame 110. Then, the opening of the front frame 110 The inner edge has a recessed stepped receiving edge 11 into which the front panel 43 fits. 2 is formed, and when the rear surface of the front panel 43 comes into contact with this receiving edge 112, the tray 40 most retracted positions are regulated. Also, the locking position of the tray 40 by the locking device 60 The position is set to the front side of the above-mentioned most retracted position, and the tray 40 is further moved from the locked position. I'm trying to push it in a little bit.

[0023] The locking device 60 is vertically installed from the bottom surface of the tray 40, as shown in FIGS. 2, 6 to 9. Lock the lock pin 61 and the lock pin 61 in the storage position of the tray 40. At the same time, when the tray 40 is pushed in a little from the storage position, the lock state When the state is released, the shaft is rotatably fixed on the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80. It consists of a hook-shaped lock plate 62.

[0024] The lock pin 61 is made of metal, and as shown in FIGS. It is fixed to the lower surface of the section 45. The lock plate 62 is located at the bottom of the under panel 80, as shown in FIGS. It has a circular shaft hole 63 that is shafted on the top surface of the wall 81, and a lock for the tray 40 is provided in front of it. A hook portion 64 that is hooked on the pin 61 also has a tongue-like extension at the rear of the shaft hole 63. Tail portions 65 are respectively formed and are integrally molded, for example, from resin.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the outer surface of the tip of the hook portion 64 engages with the lock pin 61. A cam surface 64a curved in an arc shape is formed. Also, inside the hook part 64 is a concave locking groove 64b into which the lock pin 61 fits, and a groove adjacent to this locking groove 64b. A rotor with one end deep inside the hook part 64 and the other end open midway on the cam surface 64a. An escape path 64c for the lock pin 61 is formed.

[0026] In addition, in Fig. 2, 66 indicates a coil spring, and the compression restoring force of this coil spring 66 and its It takes advantage of the restoring force of the material that tries to twist back. In other words, the compression and decompression of the coil spring 66 Due to the original force, the lock plate 62 is moved to the bottom of the under panel 80 as shown in Figures 7 and 8. It is raised slightly from the top of wall 81. Also, the coil spring 66 is twisted back. Due to the original force, the lock plate 62 is moved around its bearing part 63 in the opening direction of the hook part 64. That is, in FIG. 6, the force is applied clockwise.

[0027] Furthermore, on the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80, as shown in FIGS. A cylindrical protruding shaft 87 that fits into the bearing part 63 of the lock plate 62 and the lock plate 62 The tail part 65 of the coil spring 66 is in contact with the tail part 65 of the coil spring 66 to regulate its turning angle. A stopper 88 having an arcuate protrusion for latching is integrally formed. As shown in FIG. 7, a coil bar is attached to the protruding shaft 87 of the under panel 80. through the screw 66, then through the bearing part 63 of the lock plate 62, and then screw the screw 67 onto the protruding shaft 87. By pushing in, the lock plate 62 is prevented from coming off.

[0028] The coil spring 66 is connected to the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80, as shown in FIGS. It is compressed between the lock plate 62 and the bottom surface of the lock plate 62, and the lock plate is compressed by the compression restoring force. The seat 62 is floated upward from the upper surface of the bottom wall 71. And one end of the coil spring 66 As shown in FIG. One end of the stopper 88 and the other end of the coil spring 66 are connected to the flap of the lock plate 62. are respectively latched to the side edges of the hook portion 64.

[0029] Therefore, the lock plate 62 has a restoring force that causes the coil spring 66 to twist back. 6 is biased clockwise around the protruding shaft 87 of the under panel 80. Ru. Then, the tail portion 65 of the lock plate 62 is in contact with the other end of the stopper 88. , the spring force of the coil spring 66 is absorbed. Finally, the assembled drawer device 10 having the above configuration is shown in FIG. A pair of left and right side panels 90 are attached to the outer surface of the left and right side panels 90 of the housing 30. Fix the metal fittings 120 with screws and attach them to the instrument panel via both mounting metal fittings 120. 20 is fixed in a buried manner.

[0030] Next, the operation of the drawer device 10 will be explained below. First, as shown in Figures 3 to 9, the tray 40 stored in the housing 30 is pulled out. For use, insert the front of the front panel 43 of the tray 40 into the housing 30. Just push it in. When the tray 40 is pushed into the housing 30, the tray 40 moves back inside the housing 30. At this time, the lock pin 61 is also retracted integrally. Therefore, lock pin 61 , from the locking groove 64b by relatively retreating within the hook portion 64 of the lock plate 62. Disconnect.

[0031] When the lock pin 61 is disengaged from the locking groove 64b, the lock plate 62 can be rotated. Becomes Noh. Therefore, the lock plate 62 tries to twist the coil spring 66 back. Due to the restoring force, it rotates clockwise in FIG. 6 around its bearing portion 63. When the lock plate 62 rotates, the lock pin 61 becomes the hook of the lock plate 62. It moves relatively within the section 64 and faces one open end of the escape route 64c.

[0032] On the other hand, when the tray 40 is pushed into the housing 30, its front panel 43 When the rear surface comes into contact with the stepped receiving edge 112 recessed into the front frame 110, the Tray 40 cannot be pushed in any further. For this reason, when the pushing force of the tray 40 is released, the tray 40 will move as shown in Figures 1 and 10. As shown, the constant pressure spring 50 tries to wrap around the spool 51, causing the housing to tighten. forward toward the opening front surface 31 of the ring 30.

[0033] At this time, the lock pin 61 also moves forward, opening the escape path 64c of the lock plate 62. and escapes from the inside of the hook part 64 to the outside, and the locked state of the lock plate 62 is changed. It comes off. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the tray 40 is The housing 30 moves further forward and protrudes into the vehicle interior through the opening front surface 31 of the housing 30.

[0034] At this time, each slide pin 47, 48 located at the front and rear of the tray 40 They slide along a pair of left and right slide grooves 91 inside. And both slides Of the dowel pins 47 and 48, the slide pin 48, which is located at the rear and has a longer protrusion length, is It elastically collides with the elastic member 95 located in front of the shallow first groove 93 of the idle groove 91. As a result, the spring restoring force of the constant pressure spring 50 is absorbed, and the tray 20 stops at this position. Ru.

[0035] Furthermore, when the tray 40 moves forward inside the housing 30, the rotary damper 70 also moves forward integrally. proceed. Therefore, the gear 71 of the rotary damper 70 is attached to the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the housing 30. By engaging with the rack 86 and rotating, the braking force due to the viscous resistance of the oil is increased. work. Therefore, the tray 40 is opened by the braking force of the rotary damper 70. It protrudes slowly and silently from the front side of the mouth 31 toward the front side.

[0036] Furthermore, as the tray 40 moves forward, a convex portion 41 is formed which integrally projects from the bottom surface of the tray 40. The front rib 41a and the rear rib 41b forming the recess in the upper surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80 Slide along the guide groove 85 of 83. Therefore, the tray 40 moves forward smoothly. That is, tray 40 When attempting to move in the width direction perpendicular to the direction of the The rear rib 41b located on the left and right sides of the guide groove 85 By hitting the guide rail 84, the tray 40 is prevented from moving in the width direction.

[0037] On the other hand, in order to store the tray 40 in the housing 30 again, The front surface of the top panel 43 can be pushed into the housing 30. When the front panel 43 is pushed in, the tray body 42 moves back inside the housing 30. Ru. When the tray 40 retreats, the lock pin 61 also retreats together, and eventually the housing cam surface 64a of lock plate 62 in lock plate 30.

[0038] Furthermore, when the tray 40 is pushed in, the cam surface 64a of the lock plate 62 Pushed by the pin 61, the lock plate 62 is centered around the protruding shaft 87 of the under panel 80. , is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 6 against the spring force of the coil spring 66. stop Then, the lock pin 61 reaches the open end of the hook portion 64 of the lock plate 62. On the other hand, the rear surface of the front panel 43 of the tray 40 is retracted to the back of the front frame 110. By contacting the solder stepped receiving edge 112, the tray 40 cannot be pushed in any further. .

[0039] Therefore, when the pushing force of the tray 40 is released, the tray 40 is moved by the constant pressure spring 50. Due to the curling force that tries to wrap around the spool 51, the I was pushed back.

[0040] At that time, the lock plate 62 is activated to prevent the coil spring 66 from twisting back. The force causes it to pivot back counterclockwise in FIG. For this reason, lock plate 62 The lock pin 61 that had reached the open end of the hook portion 64 of the As the plate 62 rotates, it advances relatively into the hook portion 64 and the concave engagement It fits into the stop groove 64b.

[0041] Therefore, the winding force of the constant pressure spring 50 to wind around the spool 51 is reduced by the lock pin. By being received by the locking groove 64b of the lock plate 62 through the lock plate 61, the training -40 is re-locked into the retracted position within the housing 30, as shown in Figures 3-9. Ru. Also, as the tray 40 moves backward, each of the seats located at the front and back on both the left and right sides of the mechanism section 45 The ride pins 47 and 48 are respectively aligned along the pair of left and right slide grooves 91 inside the housing 30. slide. Furthermore, both guide protrusions located on both the left and right sides of the storage section 44 of the tray 40 are provided. The slider 49 enters the pair of left and right slide grooves 91 in the housing 30 from the middle of the tray 40 retraction. They fit into each other and slide along each slide groove 91, respectively.

[0042] Therefore, when the tray 40 is retracted, there is no vertical wobbling in the storage position. effectively prevented. Furthermore, as the tray 40 moves backward, the rear rib 41b protrudes from the rear of the lower surface of the tray 40. , slides along the guide groove 85 in the recess 83 on the top surface of the bottom wall 81 of the under panel 80 . In addition, a front rib 41a protruding from the front of the lower surface of the tray 40 is located at the rear of the tray 40. On the way back, it passes through the slit 111 at the lower edge of the opening of the front frame 110 and the under panel 80. It fits into the guide groove 85 and slides along the guide groove 85.

[0043] For this reason, when the tray 40 is retreated and in the storage position, there is no wobbling in the left and right direction. effectively prevented. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the biasing means is composed of a constant pressure spring 50. In addition to the constant pressure spring 50, a coil spring, a mainspring, etc. may be used. Further, the locking means is composed of a lock pin 31 and a hook-shaped lock plate 62. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a latch device or the like that operates in a similar manner may be used.

[0044] Furthermore, as the uneven parts 41 and 83, the recessed part 83 is placed on the under panel 80 side, and the convex part 41 is placed on the under panel 80 side. Although formed on the tray 40 side, the convex portion is not limited to this, and conversely, a convex portion may be formed on the under panel 80 side. A recess may be formed on the tray 40 side. Further, the convex portion 41 is connected to the front rib 41a located at the front part of the tray 40 and the front rib 41a located at the rear thereof. However, the ribs are aligned along the sliding direction of the tray 40. It may be consecutive.

[0045] Furthermore, although the rotary damper 70 was used as a braking means, it is not limited to this. Alternatively, an air-type piston-cylinder type damper may be used.

[0046]
