Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a storage case for storing coins and cards. The storage case of the present invention is particularly useful for storage in a car so that it can be pulled out horizontally.

[Prior Art 1] With the spread of various cards, a place to store the cards has become necessary in the interior of a car. Therefore, the interior spaces of console boxes, instrument panels, etc. are used as storage areas.

For this reason, the cards are placed in the storage section in a cluttered manner, and are placed horizontally or stacked.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When storing cards as described above, the card is in the form of a thin plate and is placed parallel to the mounting surface, so it is difficult to take out the card when it is used, and vibrations may cause damage to other cards. There are problems such as mixing with stored items (for example, coins, paper, etc.) and making it difficult to find.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it easy to take out cards, and to separate and store other stored items such as coins in a small-volume storage section.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A storage case of the present invention that solves the above problems includes: a box-shaped outer case having an opening on the -end side; The second inner case is made up of a first inner case having a storage section on the upper surface for storing stored items, and a second inner case held at the lower part of the first inner case so as to be relatively movable back and forth in the horizontal direction. The case has a card holder pivotably supported on the upper surface thereof, and when the second inner case is pulled out forward than the first inner case, the card holder is exposed and the second inner case is opened. The card holder is configured such that when stored in the lower part of the first inner case, the card holder swings and is stored between the first inner case and the second inner case in a substantially horizontal state. shall be.

[Operations and Effects] According to the storage case of the present invention, when the first inner case is pulled out from the outer case, the storage portion thereof is exposed to the outside of the outer case. Thereby, small items such as coins can be stored in the storage portion of the first inner case, and small items that are stored can be taken out. Further, when the second inner case is pulled out forward from the first inner case in a state where the first inner case is pulled out with respect to the outer case, the card holder is pivotably supported on the second inner case. appears between the first inner case and the second inner case. As a result, the card holder in the exposed state stands upright and is easy to see, making it easy to insert and hold a card, and to use and take out a card in a held state.

Therefore, coins and cards can be stored separately in the storage part of the first inner case and the card holder of the second inner case, and the cards can be stored neatly in the card holder, so that the cards can be stored in the storage area of other storage parts, unlike in the past. It can be quickly taken out as needed without being mixed with other materials.

Further, when the second inner case is stored in the lower part of the first inner case with a card held in the card holder, the card holder swings and the first inner case and the second inner case are held in a substantially horizontal state. It is stored between the inner cases. This reduces the space required to store the card holder itself, i.e.
The dedicated volume occupied by the card holder in the stored state is small, and the size of the storage case in the height direction can be made compact.

Furthermore, when the first inner case is stored inside the outer case, if the first inner case is fixed to the outer case using a locking mechanism, there will be no movement of the stored items due to friction or collision, and there will be no chance of them getting mixed up due to movement. This ensures an orderly storage condition. This makes it possible to maintain an easy-to-take-out state when taking out the items, and prevents the generation of abnormal noises due to collisions between stored items.

[Example] Hereinafter, a storage case of this example will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

The storage case of this embodiment is for storing coins and cards, and is mounted on the instrument panel of an automobile in a substantially horizontal state with the front side inclined downward by about 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

0 is set. The first inner case 2 is prevented from moving forward from the first drawer position 1 due to the contact between the locking convex portion 14 and the protrusion 220 . Further, the vertical wall portion 23 is provided with an insertion portion 122 that is detachably inserted into the catch 120. and the first
The inner case 2 forms a storage space 25 surrounded by the upper wall part 22, the vertical wall part 23, and the lower wall part 24, with most of the front and lower parts open. Further, an insertion portion 122 is formed in the vertical wall portion 23 at a position opposite to the catch 120 at the bottom of the outer case 1, and is detachably attached to the catch 120.

The second inner case 3 moves integrally with the first inner case 2 while reaching the first drawer position 1 from the position housed in the outer case 1 shown in FIG. In the storage space 25 while reaching the second drawer position L2 from the first drawer position L2,
It is held in the guide part of the flashing so that it can be moved in and out and relatively movable with respect to the first inner case 2 which is in a stopped state. The second inner case 3 is provided with a flashing connection to either the first inner case 2 or the second inner case 3 so that it can move integrally with the first inner case 2 or move relative to the first inner case 2. An engaging recess is provided, and one of the engaging recesses is provided with an elastic convex portion that can be attached to and detached from the engaging recess. Furthermore, the second inner case 3
, there is a locking protrusion of the flasher that comes into contact with a stopper of the flasher provided on the first inner case 2 so that the flasher can be stopped when it advances to the second drawer position L2 in front of the first inner case 2. The movement distance of the second inner case 3 is regulated.

Further, the second inner case 3 has a first upper surface 31 and a second upper surface 33 that are formed at different height positions, an inclined surface 32 that connects both upper surfaces 31 and 33, and a lower surface than the second upper surface 33. It consists of an upright front part 34 and an upper end part 35 that extends rearward from the upper part of the front part 34 and has a tip facing the other end of the upper wall part 22 of the first inner case 2 (FIG. 1, (See Figure 2)
. The first upper surface 31 has one end 36 of the coil spring 36.
A first locking portion 37 for engaging 0 is provided.

Further, on the inclined surface 32, three card holders 38 are provided, which are arranged at regular intervals and whose lower ends 38.1 are swingably supported by a support shaft 380. These three card holders 38 are open on the upper end 382 side, and the card holders 38 are open on the upper end 382 side.

Further, among the three card holders 3B, the one on the rear side is provided with a second locking portion 386 that engages with the other end 361 of the coil spring 36. Further, the coil spring 36 is
One end 360 is locked to the first locking part 37 and the other end 361 is locked to the second locking part 386, thereby constantly urging the three card holders 3B toward the first inner case 2 side. It works like this. The three card holders 38 are arranged so that the second inner case 3 is located in the second inner case 3 in front of the first inner case 2.
Coil spring 3 when pulled out to drawer position 2
6, it is exposed to the outside. Also, the second
The inner case 3 is in the second drawer position, and the inner case 3 is in the first drawer position L.
1 and stored in the lower part of the first inner case 2, the card holder 38, which moves together with the second inner case 3 in the direction of the arrow, is attached to a part of the upper wall part 22 of the first inner case 2. While in contact with each other, the coil spring 36 is rotated around the support shaft 380.
It is configured to swing in a direction to increase the biasing force and to be stored in the storage space 25 between the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3 in a substantially horizontal state.

In the storage case of this embodiment configured as described above, as shown in FIG.
When using the coin storage part 21 of the inner case 2, when the front part 34 of the second inner case 3 is pressed, the insertion part 122 of the push-lot open mechanism 12 is released from the catch 120, and the locked state of both is released. , the first inner case 2 is
Since the vertical wall portion 23 is biased in the direction of arrow a by the coil spring 121, both inner cases 2 and 3 are integrally moved in the same direction, so that the front portion 3 of the second inner case 3
4 protrudes to the front and outside of the outer case 1. The second inner case 3 and the first inner case 2 are in the first drawer position 1, and the protrusion 220 of the first inner case 2 is connected to the engagement protrusion 14 of the outer case 1.
It stops by locking it. At this time, the storage section 21 of the first inner case 2 is pulled out to the outside of the outer case 1, and can store the coin 210 or take out the stored coin 210.

Further, when the second inner case 3 held in the first inner case 2 is manually pulled out to the second drawer position 2 in front of the first inner case 2, the first inner case 2 cannot be moved because it is locked in the locking convex part 14 of the outer case 1, and the engagement concave part and the elastic convex part of the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3 engage with each other. is forcibly released and only the second inner case 3 moves. Therefore, the card holder 38 of the second inner case 3 swung around the support shaft 380 due to the biasing force of the coil spring 36, stood up, and came into contact with the other end of the upper wall portion 22 of the first inner case 2. The outer case 1 is formed by moving the tip of the upper end portion 35 of the second inner case 3 in the direction of the arrow a to open widely apart.
expressed in the external space.

In this state, each card holder 38 is placed at an oblique position.
It stands upright at different heights, making it easy to see and select the desired storage location.

By inserting the card 39 into the card storage section 383 of the card holder 38, it can be stored and held. Alternatively, the card 39 held in the card storage section 383 of the card holder 38 can be taken out.

Note that the card 3 is not inserted into the card holder 38 as shown in FIG.
9 is held and the second inner case 3 is pushed into the first inner case 2 as shown in FIG. is stored in. In this case, since the first inner case 2 is held stopped at the first pull-out position L1 by the biasing force of the coil spring 121, the second case 3 is moved to the first inner case 2.
2, and only the second inner case 2 can be pushed in. Further, as the second inner case 3 moves in the direction of the arrow, the upper end 382 of the card holder 38 comes into contact with a part of the earthen wall part 22 of the first inner case 2,
Since the lower end 381 moves in the same direction as the second inner case 3, it swings to the right in the drawing about the support shaft 380 against the biasing force of the coil spring 36, and the lower end 381 moves with the first inner case 2 in a substantially horizontal state. It is stored in the storage space 25 between the second inner cases 3.

At this time, the tip of the upper end portion 35 of the second inner case 3 abuts against the earthen wall portion 22 of the first inner case 2, thereby blocking the storage space 25 from the external space of the outer case 1. Then, the engagement recesses and elastic protrusions of the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3 engage, and both cases 2 and 3 are integrally moved in a direction resisting the biasing force of the coil spring 121. You will be able to move. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when the card holder 3B is stored in the storage space 25 in a substantially horizontal state, the card holder 38
A substantially triangular space 250 formed between the second inner case 3 and the second upper surface 33 of the second inner case 3 can be used to store paper such as a receipt.

Therefore, according to the storage case of this embodiment, the card 39 is stored in the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3, which are stored in the outer case 1.
It can be stored neatly in the small space between the two, making the whole thing more compact. Furthermore, when the second inner case 3 is pulled out, the card holder 3B changes its orientation from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position due to the biasing force of the coil spring 36, making it easier to insert and quickly remove the card. You can complete the operation.

Then, by moving the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3 shown in FIG. 3 together in the direction of the arrow and pushing them into the outer case 1 against the biasing force of the coil spring 121 as shown in FIG. An insertion portion 122 provided on the vertical wall portion 23 of the first inner case 2 engages with the catch 120 and is held fixed. Therefore, even if the automobile suddenly starts or brakes suddenly, there is no problem such as the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3 flying out ahead of the outer case 1. In addition, since the first inner case 2 and the second inner case 3 are fixed and held by the movement of the bush lock open mechanism 12, there is no rattling due to vibrations while the car is running, and no abnormal noise is generated due to friction or collisions. do not have.
