Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement of a cup holder device provided in a vehicle interior.

<Prior art and its problems> The interior of a passenger car or the like is sometimes equipped with a holder in which cans of beer, coffee, etc., or cups can be placed. To illustrate this, Figure 4 a~
Figure 3a shows a rotating type holder for a standing wall panel, etc., Figure 3b shows a pull-out type holder for a standing wall panel, etc., and Figure 3c shows a flat-standing type holder. Showing holder.

However, in the case of the standing wall type shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, only the cup holder can be used, and it is impossible to place other objects on the holder. In addition, in the case of the flat surface type shown in FIG. 3c, the cup holder occupies a large area and accumulates dust, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a configuration on a flat panel that allows objects to be placed on the cup holder.
Moreover, to provide an elevating type cup holder device in a vehicle interior that does not occupy only the cup holder and does not become a garbage accumulation.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention, which achieves the above-mentioned object, includes a push-lock cylinder that is embedded almost vertically in the center of a recess of a flat panel and has a structure in which a rod moves up and down, and an upper end portion of the rod. At least one through hole for holding the container is formed, and the rod can be stored in the recess of the flat panel at the lower limit position, and the container can be held above the container at the upper limit position of the rod. The cup holder is characterized by having a cup holder.

<Example> Here, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows a cup holder device provided on a flat panel 1 such as an instrument panel in a vehicle interior or the top surface of a center console. A recess 2 is provided in the flat panel 1, a hole is made in the center of the recess 2, and a push lock cylinder 3 is mounted and fixed substantially perpendicularly to the flat panel 1. A cup holder 5 is attached to the upper end of the rod 4 which moves up and down of the push lock cylinder 3, and the cup holder 5 can be accommodated in a recess in the flat panel 1.

The push lock cylinder 3 has a structure in which when the top of the rod is pushed and released, the rod 4 is extended by the spring force, and when the top of the rod 4 is then pushed and released, the rod 4 contracts against the spring force and the rod 4 is locked. There are various types of structures, such as the so-called heart cam structure shown in FIG. To explain an example of the heart cam structure with reference to FIG. 2, a long groove 3b is attached to a rod 4 supported by a spring 3a.
A heart-shaped groove 3c having a step in only one direction is formed, and a pin 3d is constantly pressed in the direction of the arrow in these grooves 3b and 3c.
It moves only in one direction, and the pin 3d held in the recess A at the top of the heart-shaped groove 3c moves to a lower step B by the downward pressure of the rod 4, and when the rod 4 is released, it is moved by the force of the spring 3a. The rod 4 rises and the pin 3d is located at the lower end of the long groove 3b. This state is the state shown in FIG. 1 in which the rod 4 is extended and the cup holder 5 is taken out.

Then, when the top of the rod 4 is pressed, the rod 4 descends and the pin 3d moves up inside the long groove 3b to the stepped portion C of the groove 3c. After this, when the rod 4 is released, the spring force will cause the rod 4 to rise slightly and pin 3d
stops at the step A of the heart-shaped groove 3c.
This state is the state in which the rod shown in FIG. 1 is contracted.

In this way, push locking becomes possible by utilizing the groove 3c which is deeper due to the heart-shaped step. Since the length of the stroke shown in FIG. 1 depends on the length of the long groove 3b, any adjustment can be made by reducing the length of the long groove 3b and the spring length.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the invention, the cup holder can be arranged integrally with the flat panel, and the flat panel and the cup holder can be at the same height in the stored state.
It doesn't become a garbage puddle and looks good.
