Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a card and coin holding device that is most suitable for storing cards and coins in an automobile interior in a state where they can be easily taken out.

<Prior art> A conventional holding device of this type, as seen in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-2071, has a holder that is pulled out and rotatably stored in a recess provided in a panel, and is normally kept in the recess. The holder stored and held inside the coin can be pulled out to the passenger compartment and rotated as needed to take out the coin. however,
Since this conventional example only holds coins, it was necessary to provide a separate card holder for holding cards.

Furthermore, if a clip is attached to the surface of the coin holder, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-18851, the card can be held using this clip. However, in this case, there is a problem that the coin holder and the clip protrude into the vehicle interior, or if the clamping force of the clip decreases, the card or the like easily falls out.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and although cards and coins can be reliably stored and retained in a common space, It is an object of the present invention to provide a holding device for cards and coins that can be easily taken out.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a panel with a recess having a semicircular cross section along the horizontal direction that opens toward the passenger compartment, and has a recess that is approximately the same as the surface of the panel. A holder is provided to cover the opening of the recess in the plane, and a coin receiving groove having a semicircular cross section along the horizontal direction is provided on the back surface of the holder. Further, a horizontally expandable holding belt is attached to the surface of the holder, and a support shaft is provided that supports the holder rotatably around a horizontal axis within the opening of the recess. Then, a stopper is provided for locking the holder at a storage position where the surface to which the holding belt is attached is located approximately in the same plane as the surface of the panel, and at a use position where the back surface provided with the coin receiving groove is exposed to the passenger compartment. In addition, the holder is characterized in that protrusions projecting forward are provided on the upper and lower edges of the surface of the holder, respectively.

<Function> In the holding device configured as described above, the coin is stored in the coin receiving groove provided on the back surface of the holder, and the card is inserted and held between the surface of the holder and the holding belt. By the way, when the holder is rotated and held in the storage position, the coin receiving groove formed on the back side of the holder is stored in a recess in the panel, and this recess is formed with a semicircular cross section. ing. For this reason, the coins stored in the coin receiving groove and the recess are reliably held in the coin receiving groove by contact with the inner circumferential surface of the recess. This prevents them from falling off due to such reasons. Further, since the surface of the holder is held in substantially the same plane as the surface of the panel, the card can be easily removed from the holding belt or inserted into the holding belt as necessary. Note that since the protrusions are provided on both upper and lower edges of the surface of the holder, the protrusions prevent the card from slipping off even when the holding force by the holding belt is reduced.

On the other hand, when you rotate the holder to the usage position,
Since the back side of the holder is exposed to the passenger compartment, coins can be freely taken in and out of the coin receiving groove provided on the back side. Note that when the holder is rotated to the use position in this manner, the surface of the holder is stored in the recess of the panel.

In other words, by switching the holder between the storage position and the use position as necessary, either the card or the coin can be exposed in the passenger compartment for use, and the card and coin can be placed in the same space. Because it can be held, cards and coins can be taken out and stored in the same way.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the card and coin holding device according to the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 3 shows an instrument panel 10 provided in all of the driver's seats of an automobile. A holding device 12 according to the present invention is provided on a panel 11 that constitutes a part of this instrument panel 10.

FIG. 4 shows a panel 11 on which a retaining device 12 is provided.
A recess 14 is formed in the panel 11 and has a semicircular cross section along the horizontal direction and opens toward the passenger compartment. The recess 14 includes a peripheral wall 16 formed of a cylindrical surface and a pair of left and right side walls 18 formed of a flat surface. Further, a guide groove 20 extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner surface of the circumferential wall 16, and a shaft hole 22 is formed at the front end of the center of each side wall 18, respectively.

5 and 6 show the holder 24 attached to the recess 14.
By attaching a horizontally extendable holding belt 26 to the center of the surface of the holder 2,
A card 28 is inserted and held between the surface of the card 4 and the holding belt 26. Also, holder 2
By providing projections 25 projecting forward as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 on the upper and lower edges of the surface of the card 4, the card 28 can be accidentally inserted between the holder 24 and the holding belt 26. I try to prevent it from falling off. Although the holding belt 26 is made of a rubber band in the embodiment, it may be any belt that allows the card 28 to be inserted and removed easily and that has the function of holding the card 28 between it and the surface of the holder 24. However, the specific structure of the holding belt 26 is arbitrary.

Further, a protrusion 3 that slidably engages with the guide groove 20
0 is provided on the lower surface of the holder 24, and a shaft 32 that fits into the shaft hole 22 is provided on both outer surfaces of the holder 24, respectively. Note that by providing a slit 34 curved in an arc shape surrounding the shaft 32 on the side wall of the holder 24, the shaft 34 can be elastically deformed inward.

On the other hand, on the back surface of the holder 24, coin receiving grooves 36 having a semicircular cross section along the horizontal direction are provided in two stages, upper and lower. By providing a partition 38 in the middle of each coin receiving groove 36, coins stored in the coin receiving groove 36 are prevented from falling.

FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the shaft hole 22 and the shaft 34 when the holder 24 is installed in the recess 14 of the panel 11. By tilting the side wall 18 toward the front side of the shaft hole 22,
A wedge-shaped gap 40 is formed between the holder 24 and the side wall of the holder 24. Therefore, when assembling the holder 24 into the recess 14, the shaft 32 is elastically displaced inward under the guidance action of the side wall 18.
When the shaft 32 aligns with the shaft hole 22, it automatically projects back and engages with the shaft hole 22. For this,
After assembling the holder 24, the peripheral wall 1 of the recess 14
The holder 24 is rotatably held within the recess 14 within the range regulated by the guide groove 20 provided in the recess 6 and the protrusion 30 provided in the holder 24.

1 and 2 are cross-sectional views showing the state in which the holder 24 is rotated and held in the storage position and the state in which it is rotated and held in the use position. In both cases, the card 28 is connected to the surface of the holder 24 and the holding belt. 26 to hold the coin, and the coin receiving groove 36
It stores 42 coins. In addition, the guide groove 20
Protrusions 44 that function as stoppers are provided near both ends of the holder 24, and when the protrusion 30 provided on the holder 24 climbs over these protrusions 44, the holder 24 can be moved to the storage position shown in FIG. 1 and the use position shown in FIG. They are held in their respective positions.

That is, if there is no need to take out or take out the coin 42, rotate the holder 24 to a position where the protrusion 30 passes over the lower protrusion 44 and place the surface of the holder 24 into the compartment as shown in FIG. By exposing the coin 42, the coin 42 is not directly visible, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and preventing theft. Note that by forming the recess 14 to have a semicircular cross section, the peripheral wall 16 thereof has a cylindrical surface. For this purpose, a coin receiving groove 36 stored in the recess 14
Since the coin 42 inside is supported by this peripheral wall 16, the coin 42 will not fall out from the coin receiving groove 36 even if vibrations are applied due to driving of a car or the like. Further, when the holder 24 is rotated and held in the storage position in this way, the surface of the holder 24 is located in almost the same plane as the surface of the panel 11, so the holder 24 does not get in the way. The card 28 can be freely inserted and removed by utilizing the elasticity of the holding belt 26. Further, convex portions 25 are provided on the upper and lower edges of the surface of the holder on which the card 28 is held by the holding belt 26, respectively. Therefore, even when inserting with one hand, this protrusion 25
The card 28 can be reliably inserted into a predetermined position on the surface of the holder 24 using the guide as a guide, and even if the holding force of the holding belt 26 decreases, the interference with the protrusion 25 prevents the card 28 from falling off. .

On the other hand, when it is necessary to take out or put in coins, the holder 24 is rotated in the direction of arrow 46 shown in FIG. When the holder 24 is rotated to a position where the protrusion 30 passes over the upper protrusion 44 as shown in FIG. A coin receiving groove 36 is exposed to the passenger compartment as shown in FIG. Therefore, the driver can take coins 42 in and out of the coin receiving groove 36 as necessary. If it is no longer necessary to take out or put in the coin 42, the holder 24 may be rotated in the direction of the arrow 48 shown in FIG. 2 to switch to the storage position shown in FIG. 1.

In the above embodiment, the instrument panel 10
Although a recess 14 is formed in a part of the
It is also possible to form a recess in the armrest of the console box or door.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, by holding a card on the front side of the holder and holding a coin on the back side of the holder, the card can be inserted by reversing the front and back sides of the holder. Since cards and coins can be selectively used, cards and coins can be stored and held in a common space, and cards and coins can be accurately taken out and stored with the same feeling using one hand. . In addition, when the holder is rotated and held in the storage position, the surface of the holder that holds the card is held in almost the same plane as the surface of the panel, so the holder does not get in the way. The beauty of the vehicle interior is not impaired. Furthermore, by providing convex parts on the upper and lower edges of the surface of the holder,
In addition to stabilizing the holding of the card by the holding belt and stabilizing the holding position of the card, the recess into which the holder is attached is formed with a semicircular cross section to prevent coins stored in the coin receiving groove from falling out. Since this is prevented by the surrounding wall, both cards and coins can be held stably even though the holder is a rotary type.
