Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a simple table device that is attached to the steering wheel of an automobile, and more specifically, to a device that can be used in any case, although the installation angle of the steering wheel differs depending on the type of car.

(Prior Art) The above-mentioned simple table device for automobiles is conventionally known, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-26770. According to this, a retainer (corresponding to the hook part 4 in the above publication) is hooked on the surface of the handle,
A table is pivotally supported on this retainer so as to be movable up and down. Furthermore, the retainer is provided with a plurality of positioning pins, and if a part of the table is engaged with any of these positioning pins, the angle that the table makes with respect to the retainer can be arbitrarily changed and adjusted. It is now possible to hold.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) By the way, although the above table is used simply, a cup containing documents and drinks is placed on top of it, and it also protects the hands and arms of the person using it. A pressing force is applied. Therefore, the positioning pins for fixing this table are required to have sufficient strength.

However, since there are multiple positioning pins, if each of these pins has sufficient strength,
This has the disadvantage that the configuration for holding the table becomes complicated.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and even if the angle that the table makes with respect to the retainer can be changed and adjusted, it is possible to easily hold the table. The purpose is to make it stronger and stronger.

(Structure of the invention) The first invention for achieving the above object is characterized by a first hook attached to the upper end of the retainer placed on the surface of the handle. At the same time, a second hooking section is formed at the lower end of the retainer, so that when the retainer is turned upside down, the second hooking section is hooked to the upper part of the handle. A first pivot means that allows the table to be pivotally supported is provided at the upper part, and a second pivot means that allows the table to be pivoted is provided at the lower part of the retainer, and the table is pivoted by the second pivot means. The second hook part prevents the retainer from rotating downward beyond a predetermined level, and the table pivoted by the first pivot means is prevented from rotating downward beyond a predetermined level when the retainer is turned upside down. The table is prevented from rotating by the first and second hooking portions, and the angles that the tables make with respect to the retainer are made different from each other in each posture in which rotation is prevented by the first and second hooking portions. .

Further, the second invention is characterized in that the upper end of the retainer placed on the surface of the handle is formed with a first hook part that is hooked to the upper part of the handle, while the lower end of the retainer is A second hooking portion is formed in the retainer, a pair of upper and lower pivot holes is formed in the retainer, and a pivot shaft that is inserted into both of the pivot holes is provided, and a pivot shaft that is inserted into either of the pivot holes is provided. The table is pivotally supported around a support shaft so as to be vertically movable, and the second hook part prevents the table from rotating downward beyond a predetermined value.

(effect) The effects of the above configuration are as follows.

That is, according to the first invention, the second pivot means 11
When the retainer 2 is turned upside down, the first pivot means 1
The table 6, which is pivotally supported by the retainer 2 by the retainer 2 and whose rotation is prevented by the first hooking part 3, makes different angles α and β with respect to the retainer 2, respectively. Therefore, if the posture of the retainer 2 is selected, such as by turning the retainer 2 upside down, and the pivot position of the table 6 with respect to the retainer 2 is appropriately selected, the table 6 can be held at a desired angle with respect to the retainer 2. In other words, it is possible to obtain the table 6 in a desired posture.

Further, according to the second invention, the retainer 2 is provided with a pair of upper and lower pivot holes 21 and a lower pivot hole 22, and the table is mounted around the pivot shaft 14 that is fitted into either of these pivot holes. 6 is pivoted so as to be vertically movable, and the second hook part 4 prevents the table 6 from rotating downward beyond a predetermined level, so that the pivot hole into which the pivot shaft 14 is inserted is Pivot hole 2
1 and the lower pivot hole 22, the table 6 can be held at a desired angle with respect to the retainer 2. In other words, it is possible to obtain the table 6 in a desired posture.

That is, to put the effects of the above-mentioned devices in other words, the angle of the surface of the handle 1 with respect to the horizontal plane (installation angle)
Even if γ and δ are different, if the angle that the table 6 makes with respect to the retainer 2 is appropriately selected as described above, the table 6 can be in a nearly horizontal position with respect to the handle 1 at any installation angle. This can be held by the retainer 2.

In particular, according to the first invention, when the table 6 is held by the retainer 2 as described above, each of the hooks 3 and 4 is also used as a stopper for the table 6, which is advantageous in terms of simplifying the structure. Each of the hooks 3 and 4 has sufficient strength to hold the retainer 2 on the handle 1, and is used as the stopper. Therefore, the table 6 is held firmly.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First example) 1 to 4 show a first embodiment.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a round steering wheel of an automobile, and a retainer 2 is placed on the surface of the steering wheel 1. As shown in FIG. This retainer 2 is formed by bending a single elastic metal wire rod into a rectangular frame shape, and includes a pair of left and right vertical wire rods 2a, 2.
a, and a pair of upper and lower horizontal wire rods 2b, 2b.

The upper end of the retainer 2 is bent toward the front of the vehicle so as to embrace the upper part of the steering wheel 1, and this serves as a first hook 3. This first hooking part 3 is detachably hooked to the upper part of the handle 1, and thereby the retainer 2 is supported on the handle 1. Further, the lower end of the handle 1 is connected to the first
It is bent backwards in the opposite direction to the hooking portion 3, and this serves as a second hooking portion 4, which has the same shape as the first hooking portion 3 described above. and,
When the retainer 2 is turned upside down and the front and back sides of the retainer 2 are reversed, the second hook 4 can be detachably hooked to the upper part of the handle 1 in the same way as the first hook 3. It's getting old.

6 is a table, and this table 6 includes a table body 7 molded from a resin plate, and this table body 7.
It has a pair of left and right brackets 8, 8 attached to the front end of the bracket.

On the other hand, a first pivot means 10 and a second pivot means 11 are provided on the retainer 2 vertically apart from each other, for pivotally supporting the table 6 to the retainer 2 in a detachable and vertically movable manner.

The first pivot means 10 includes left and right vertically oriented wire rods 2a,
1st pivot holes 12, 12 respectively formed in 2a.
have. Further, the second pivot means 11 has second pivot holes 13, 13 formed in the left and right vertically oriented wire rods 2a, 2a, respectively.
A pivot shaft 14 that is removably inserted into the second pivot hole 13 is welded to each of the second pivot holes 13. and,
The pivot shaft 14 is rotatably supported in the second pivot hole 13, that is, the table 6
is pivoted to the retainer 2 by a second pivot means 11 so as to be vertically movable.

The further downward rotation of the table 6, which is pivotally supported by the retainer 2 by the second pivot means 11 from the time when it assumes a substantially horizontal position, means that the lower surface of the table 6 comes into contact with the second hooking part 4. This holds the table 6 at a predetermined angle. That is, the second hook part 4 for hooking the retainer 2 to the handle 1 also serves as a stopper for the table 6.

In addition, there is a clip 16 on the table body 7.
is provided so that documents can be held on the table body 7. In addition, the table body 7 has a fitting hole 1 for supporting the tip 17.
8 is formed. In addition, when fitting and removing the second pivot hole 13 and the pivot shaft 14, the left and right vertically oriented wire rods 2a, 2a may be elastically deformed so as to be spread apart as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. .

FIG. 4 shows the retainer 2 having the above structure turned upside down and the second hooking part 4 hooked to the upper part of the handle 1 with its front and back reversed.
A retainer 2 is pivotally supported on the table 6 by a first pivot means 10. At this time, further downward rotation of the table 6 from its almost horizontal position is prevented by the lower surface of the table 6 coming into contact with the first hooking part 3, and as a result, the table 6
is held at a predetermined angle. That is, the first hooking portion 3 for hooking the retainer 2 to the handle 1 also serves as a stopper for the table 6.

In particular, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4, the length L from the first hook 3 to the first pivot hole 12 is the length L from the second hook 4 to the second pivot hole 13. It is larger than the size l. Therefore, the angle α between the retainer 2 and the table 6 in the case shown in FIG. 2 is smaller than the angle β between the retainer 2 and the table 6 in the case shown in FIG.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the surface of the handle 1 makes a large angle γ with respect to the horizontal plane, as is the case with passenger cars, the table 6 is pivoted to the retainer 2 by the second pivot means 11. If the downward rotation of the lever is prevented by the second hook portion 4, the table 6 can be placed in a desired substantially horizontal position. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the angle δ that the surface of the handle 1 makes with respect to the horizontal plane is small, such as in a one-box car, the table 6 is pivoted to the retainer 2 by the first pivot means 10. By blocking the downward rotation by the first hooking portion 3, the table 6 can be placed in a desired substantially horizontal position.

(Second Embodiment) FIGS. 5 to 8 show a second embodiment.
This embodiment has the same basic structure and operation as the first embodiment. Therefore, the common configurations will be designated by reference numerals in the drawings and their explanations will be omitted, and only the different configurations will be explained.

5 to 7, each vertically oriented wire rod 2a constituting the retainer 2 has a pair of upper and lower pivot holes 2a.
1 and a lower pivot hole 22 are respectively formed.
A pivot shaft 14 that can be fitted into either of the pivot holes 21 and 22 is provided. This pivot 1
4 is a bolt 23 and a nut 2 that are screwed together;
It consists of 4. By pivoting the bracket 8 to this pivot shaft 14, the table 6 can freely move up and down about this pivot shaft 14. In the illustrated example, the pivot shaft 14 is fitted into the lower pivot hole 22. In the above case, the positions where the bolt 23 and nut 24 of the pivot shaft 14 are inserted into the fitting hole 18 may be opposite to each other.

Further, the table 6 is prevented from further rotating downward from the time when it is in a substantially horizontal position because the lower surface of the table 6 comes into contact with the second latching part 4, so that the table 6 is held at a predetermined angle. protected.

In addition, an elastic rubber ring 25 is fitted around each horizontal wire rod 2b to prevent the retainer 2 from coming into direct contact with the handle 1. In addition, the middle part of the lower horizontal wire rod 2b among both the horizontal wire rods 2b, 2b has been deleted,
As a result, this horizontal wire rod 2b and the tip 17
This prevents interference between the lower part of the tip 17 fitted into the holder and the lower part of the tip 17.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the pivot shaft 14 is fitted into the upper pivot hole 21. The pivot shaft 14 is inserted into the upper pivot hole 21.
In order to insert the bolt 23 and the nut 24, first, as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG.
Then, these are fitted into the upper pivot hole 21 and screwed together, and at this time the bracket 8 is pivoted to the nut 24. Other structures and functions are the same as those shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 above.

In particular, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, since the upper pivot hole 21 and the lower pivot hole 22 are vertically separated, the retainer 2 and table 6 in the case shown in FIG. The angle α formed is smaller than the angle β formed between the retainer 2 and the table 6 in the case shown in FIG.

Therefore, when the angle γ of the surface of the handle 1 with respect to the horizontal plane is large as shown in FIG. The table 6 can be placed in a desired substantially horizontal position. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the angle δ that the surface of the handle 1 makes with respect to the horizontal plane is small, the table 6 can be pivoted on the pivot shaft 14 fitted into the upper pivot hole 21. 6
can be brought into a desired almost horizontal position.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, when holding the table relative to the retainer, the table can be held at a desired angle. Moreover, since the table is held using the strong hook, the table can be held firmly with a simple structure, and is therefore extremely useful.
