``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, in such conventional automobile drink container holding devices, the former cup holder 1
, it simply holds the drink container;
The problem was that it was inconvenient because it could not be cooled or heated.

In addition, in the case of the latter type of cooler box, the installation of the cooler box and the piping of the cold air supply pipe are large-scale work, and for this reason, it is often installed in the car from the beginning, making it extremely difficult to install it later. There was a problem in that even if it was installed, it would be very difficult to remove it.

The present invention was created by focusing on these conventional problems, and it not only simply holds a drink container, but also efficiently cools and warms it, and has a simple structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a holding device for a drink container for an automobile, which can be attached and detached very easily using an attaching and detaching mechanism.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention for achieving the above purpose is to provide a drink container holding device for an automobile that is installed in a vehicle interior and holds drink containers, etc. in a vehicle. a wind tunnel-shaped holding device main body having an inlet facing the ventilator outlet formed on the rear surface and an outflow port formed on the front side; A gasket is sandwiched between the peripheral edge and the peripheral edge of the ventilator outlet to prevent air from escaping from the peripheral edge of the inlet to the outside, and a pair of latching protrusions are provided rearwardly from the inlet of the holding device main body. The pair of latching protrusions is biased in either a direction in which the distance between the two latching protrusions widens or narrows, and is elastically latched to the mouth edge of the ventilator outlet. A drink container for an automobile, comprising: an attachment/detachment mechanism that allows the holding device main body to be attached to and removed from the ventilator outlet side, and an insertion hole for a drink container is formed in an upper plate of the holding device main body. It consists of a holding device.

``Operation'' To cool a drink container, attach the holding device body to the ventilator outlet, open the opening/closing lid, and insert the drink container through the insertion hole of the drink container. The seal prevents air from leaking from the ventilator outlet to the outside from the periphery of the inlet, enters the wind tunnel-shaped holding device body from the inlet, hits the drink container, exchanges heat, and brings the drink to an appropriate temperature.
The blowout angle is adjusted by the louver, and the air blows out from the outlet.

If there is no need to cool the drink container, remove the entire drink container retainer from the ventilator outlet, or use the opening/closing lid to insert the drink container into the insertion hole without removing the entire retainer from the ventilator outlet. All you have to do is block it.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the holding device main body 20 is provided with an attachment/detachment mechanism 60. The attachment/detachment mechanism 60 includes arm members 62, 62 that intersect.
It has protrusions 64, 64 for latching at the tip. The latching protrusion 64 is coated with a resin member 64a.

The latching protrusions 64 spread laterally and press against the vertical walls 14, 14 on both sides of the ventilator outlet 10. That is, the intersecting portions of the arm members 62, 62 are pivotally attached to a vertical frame 25 that bisects the inlet 24 into left and right halves, and one arm is pivoted so that the latching protrusion 64 spreads left and right. The member 62 and the other arm member 62 form a tension spring 6
They are connected by 8. In the vicinity of the hooking projection 64 of the arm member 62, pinching projections 69, 69 are formed.

Next, the action will be explained.

In FIG. 4, in order to attach the holding device main body 20 to the ventilator outlet 10, a detachable mechanism 60 is used.
The pinching protrusions 69, 69 are pinched against each other so as to be narrowed against the biasing force of the tension spring 68. As a result, the span of the latching protrusions 64, 64 also becomes narrower. With the span narrowed, the latching protrusions 64, 64 are inserted into the ventilator outlet 10. The latching protrusions 64, 64 move along the inner surface 17 of the upper frame of the ventilator outlet 10, and are attached to the gasket 3 provided on the back surface 22 of the holding device main body 20.

If the holding device main body 20 is not in the way, the insertion hole 29 of the drink container can be closed with the opening/closing lid 50 without removing the holding device main body 20 of the drink container from the ventilator outlet 10. The cold air passes through the wind tunnel-shaped holding device main body 20 from the ventilator outlet 10, and is blown out from the outlet 28 after being changed direction by the louver 40 without leaking from the insertion hole 29 of the drink container. That is, it can be used as a general louver.

According to the holding device for a drink container according to the embodiment, regardless of the shape of the outlet of the ventilator, it can be easily attached and detached by widening or narrowing the latching protrusion 64 in the left-right direction. Easy to install and remove regardless of vehicle type.

In addition, when the drink container is not inserted, the insertion hole 29 is closed with the opening/closing lid 50, so that cold air does not leak outside through the insertion hole 29, and the outflow port 29 is closed.
It starts blowing up from 8 onwards. In addition, louver 4
0, the direction of the cold air blown out from the outlet 28 can be changed as appropriate.

In the above embodiment, the drink container holding device was used to cool the drink container, but it may also be used to warm the drink container. It can also be used for

``Effect of the invention'' The main body of the holding device is formed into a wind tunnel shape, the inlet of which faces the ventilator outlet, and the packing is provided around the periphery of the inlet, so that the packing is close to the ventilator outlet. It presses against the periphery and prevents cold air from leaking from the gap between the periphery of the inlet of the holding device body and the periphery of the ventilator's outlet, allowing drinks to be efficiently cooled or warmed. ,Also,
Cold air, etc. can be taken directly into the holding device main body without going through a duct member, etc., making it possible to have a simple configuration.In addition, the attachment/detachment mechanism allows the pair of latching protrusions to be attached to the ventilator outlet. Since the holding device main body is made detachable from the ventilator outlet side by being elastically hooked to the mouth edge of the ventilator, there is no need to install it from the beginning and it can be easily installed later. Also, when installing, it can be done regardless of the shape of the ventilator outlet.
