Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent interference with an occupant in the drawing state by holding a holding body in a housing by a stopper by way of energizing the holding body having a hole for insertion of cups to guide in a groove of the housing having an outward bend in the neighborhood of an installation hole in the lateral and drawing directions. CONSTITUTION:Left and right side members 13, 14 constituting a holding body 3 are connected with first and second main bodies 15, 16 and a pin 64 and are formed with first and second holders 18, 19 having holes 17 to insert cups, and both of the members 13, 14 are energized in the lateral and drawing directions by an energizing spring 4 of the first main body 15. Additionally, the holding body 3 is held in a housing 2 by a vertical shaft 43 and a stopper 5, and when it is guided and drawn by a groove part 12 having a part 26 bent outward in the neighborhood of an installation hole, the left and right side members 13. 14 open to the left and the right. Consequently, the hole 17 to insert cups is held at a specified position, easily drawn to the opening side by the conston spring 4 as the stopper 5 is released, and it is possible to prevent interference with an occupant in the drawn state.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for supporting a container for cups arranged on a vertical wall of a vehicle, a house, furniture or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Examples of this type of technology include, for example, Shokai Sho 6
As shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-66833, a main holder that can be housed in a mounting hole in a vehicle compartment, a first insertion hole for inserting cups formed in the main holder, and a mounting hole together with the main holder. There is a sub-holding body that can be stored in the sub-holding body, and a second insertion hole for inserting cups formed in the sub-holding body. The sub holding body is biased by the biasing means in the direction in which the second insertion hole is separated from the first insertion hole.

[0003]

However, such biasing means biases the second insertion hole of the sub-holding body, which is pulled out as the main holding body is pulled out from the mounting hole, in a direction away from the first insertion hole. However, it is necessary to manually pull out the main holding body from the mounting hole.

Further, when the auxiliary holding body is pulled out, the side surface of the mounting hole is used as a guide wall, and therefore the momentum that spreads horizontally in the pulled out state, that is, in the state where the side surface is lost, is large. It may interfere with. Therefore, the present invention provides added value to the biasing means,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container support device which prevents interference with an occupant in a pulled-out state.

[0005]

As a container supporting device of the present invention, a hollow housing facing a mounting hole of a vertical wall and disposed in the mounting hole and having an opening on the side of the mounting hole, and the housing Has a first vertical axis which is formed in each of the inner walls of the upper and lower walls from the opening toward the inner part and which is engaged in a groove portion having a portion bent outward in the vicinity of the mounting hole and mounted. A holder having an insertion hole for inserting cups, which is slidable while being guided to the groove from the hole, and a second longitudinal axis on the housing opening center side of the holder and one end of the housing. Is supported to urge the holding body in the left-right direction and the drawing direction, and the holding body is inserted into the housing to prevent the urging force of the urging means in the drawing direction. With a stopper to hold the holder inside And wherein the Rukoto.

[0006]

[Operation] According to this structure, the holder is spread to the left and right by the biasing means only by being guided in the groove of the housing, and the insertion hole for inserting cups is held at an appropriate position.
Further, when the stopper is released, the holding body is pulled out to the opening side by the biasing means. That is, this urging means urges the holder in the left-right direction and the pull-out direction. Further, since the biasing means is wound around the vertical axis on the center side of the housing opening of the holder, there is an effect of damping the deployment speed when the holder is deployed.
