Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cup holder attached to a vehicle body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a cup holder attached to a vehicle body, a cup holder as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-138250 has been known. In this conventional cup holder, a flat plate-shaped holder member having a plurality of cup accommodating holes is provided so as to be drawn out into a horizontally long storage case with the planes thereof facing upward and downward. A frame is rotatably supported by the holder member, and when the holder member is pulled out from the storage case, the frame can be held at a position below the cup storage hole. The bottom of the cup is supported by this frame when the cup is inserted into the cup receiving hole.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, when assembling the above-mentioned conventional cup holder to the vehicle body, it is necessary to secure a horizontally long installation space in which the storage case can be attached to the vehicle body, and the holder member is pulled out from the storage case to the panel on the indoor side. It is necessary to form a horizontally long hole. Therefore, this cup holder cannot be installed in places where it is not possible to secure a horizontally long installation space in the vehicle body or where it is difficult to make horizontally long holes in the panel inside the room. In addition, since the planar shape of the holder member is increased in accordance with the number of cup storage holes, if there are a plurality of cup storage holes, the horizontally long space is required accordingly.

In particular, conventionally, devices around the instrument panel, for example, audio devices and operating devices for air conditioners are designed to be horizontally long, and it is difficult to secure many such horizontally long spaces.

Therefore, the conventional cup holder installation space is limited to a horizontally long space, and further improvement in layout flexibility has been demanded.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and provides a cup holder that does not require a horizontal installation space when it is mounted on a vehicle body, and can secure a horizontally long installation space in the vehicle body. The purpose is to improve the layout flexibility of the cup holder by allowing the cup holder to be attached to a place where it could not be installed without it.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, the above-described object is achieved by storing the cup holder in the vertically long mounting hole.

Therefore, in the cup holder of the present invention, the support body mounted in the vertically long mounting hole formed on the indoor side panel of the vehicle body is a drawer position in which the support member is arranged at the back of the mounting hole and near the mounting hole. The movable member is formed so as to be movable to a position, and a plurality of movable members are attached to the support member along a vertical axis at a gathering position where the movable members are close to or in contact with each other and a deployed position where the movable members are laterally expanded. The movable member is rotatably supported around the movable member, and the movable member is provided with a holder member capable of changing the state between a vertically standing non-used state and a usable state capable of holding the cup. The member is a means that is formed so that the mounting hole can be put in and taken out while the holder member is held in an unused state and the movable members are arranged at the gathering position.

[0009]

[Action]

 When the cup holder is not used, each holder member is not used, and each movable member is stored in the mounting hole with the movable member arranged at the gathering position with respect to the support. At this time, the support is arranged in the storage position.

Therefore, when the cup holder is used, the movable members and the holder members are pulled out from the above state until they are arranged at the pulling-out position together with the support body. Next, the movable members arranged at the gathering position are rotated about the vertical axis to the deployed position, and the movable members are arranged apart from each other. After that, the holder member in the unused state is changed to the used state. Thereby, the plurality of cups can be supported by the plurality of cup holders.

When storing the cup holder, the procedure is the reverse of the above, that is, the holder member in the used state is first changed to the unused state, and then the unused state is changed. The movable member supporting the holder member in the stationary state is moved from the deployed position to the gathering position. After that, the movable member and the holder member together with the support body are put into the mounting holes until the support body is located at the storage position, and the storage is completed.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 are perspective views showing a cup holder H of this embodiment, FIG. 4 is a side view showing the cup holder H, and FIG. 5 is a front view showing an instrument panel to which the above cup holder is attached.

As shown in FIG. 5, an instrument panel 10 is arranged in a portion arranged in front of a driver's seat of an instrument panel P to which a cup holder H of the embodiment is attached, and an instrument 10 is arranged on the left and right sides thereof. The air outlet 20 is arranged. An audio operating device 30 is arranged below the air outlet 20, and an air conditioner operating device 40 is arranged below the audio operating device 30. The cup holder H according to the present embodiment is arranged on the left side of the vertically arranged outlets 20, the audio device 30, and the air conditioner device 40, and extends vertically in a vertically long mounting hole 50 formed in the instrument panel P. It is installed.

Next, the structure of the cup holder H according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In FIG. 1, 1 is a support. The support body 1 is supported by the vehicle body so that it can move in and out of the mounting hole 50. As shown by the dotted line in FIG. 1, the support body 1 is deepest with respect to the finisher 3 fixed in the mounting hole 50. It is slidably attached to the vehicle body at a retracted position, which is a position, and as shown in a solid line, at a drawn-out position projecting from an in-out hole 31 of the finisher 3.

Further, the support 1 is provided with a shaft member 11 extending in the vertical direction, and two movable members 12 face each other around the shaft member 11 as shown in FIG. It is rotatably supported within a range from the combined gathering position to a deployed position where it is deployed at about 180 ° as shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, this gathering position will be referred to as a closed position and the unfolding position will be referred to as an open position. Each movable member 12 is formed in a vertically long panel shape, and vertically long slide grooves 121 are formed on both side edges of the movable member 12 in a range from an upper end portion to a middle portion and a shaft hole 122. Is formed at the lower end. Further, each movable member 12 is held in the open position and the closed position based on the frictional force between the movable member 12 and the shaft member 11. A stopper (not shown) is provided between the support 1 and the finisher 3 to restrict the support 1 from being pulled out further.

A holder member 2 is provided for each movable member. The holder member 2 is an integrally molded product made of resin, in which an upper plate portion 21 having a cup receiving hole 211 and a lower plate portion 22 having a recess 221 serving as a cup receiver are joined via a thin portion 23. The upper plate portion 21 and the lower plate portion 22 can be bent up and down by the thin portion 23.

Further, shaft members 212 and 222 extending in the horizontal direction are provided at the upper end portion of the upper plate portion 21 and the lower end portion of the lower plate portion 22, respectively, and the upper shaft member 212 of the movable member 12 is provided. The slide groove 121 is slidably fitted, and the lower shaft member 222 is rotatably fitted in the shaft hole 122 of the movable member 12. When the upper shaft member 212 is located at the upper end of the slide groove 121, the upper plate portion 21 and the lower plate portion 22 are in a standing state in which they stand upright along the movable member 12. This state is called a non-use state (Fig. 2). When the holder member 2 is pulled by hooking a finger into the cup receiving hole 211, the upper shaft member 212 slides downward along the slide groove 121, and the lower plate member 222 is centered around the lower plate member 222. The portion 22 is configured to rotate, whereby the holder member 2 is configured such that the upper plate portion 21 and the lower plate portion 22 fall down and are bent at the hinge portion 23. Further, the holder member 2 bends to the maximum when the upper shaft member 212 is located at the lower end of the slide groove 121, and at that time, the lower plate portion 22 tilts almost horizontally and the upper plate portion 21 tilts. Then, the use state in which the cup C can be inserted from above into the cup accommodation hole 211 of the upper plate portion 21 is completed (FIGS. 3 and 4).

Further, both movable members 12 can be rotated to the closed position shown in FIG. 1 when the holder member 2 is not in use, and the both movable members 12 are thus closed. The support body 1 and the movable members 12 and 12 are formed in a shape that allows the insertion / removal holes 31 to be inserted / removed.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

When the cup holder H is used, the support 1 and the movable members 12, 12 are pulled out until the support 1 reaches the pull-out position in FIG. Then, the movable member 12 supported by the support 1 in the closed position is laterally rotated to the open position (see FIG. 2). That is, one movable member 12 is rotated toward the driver's seat, and the other movable member 12 is rotated toward the passenger seat. Next, the holder member 2 supported by the movable member 12 in an unused state is pulled by hooking a finger into the cup housing hole 211 or the like, and the lower side of the holder member 2 is bent until the holder member 2 is maximally bent. The lower plate portion 22 is rotated around the shaft member 222 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Then, the lower plate portion 22 falls substantially horizontally and the upper plate portion 21 largely falls obliquely to complete the use state. In this usage state, when the cup C is inserted into the cup accommodation hole 211 from above, the bottom of the cup C is supported by the recess 221, so that the cup C can be kept in a stable state. It should be noted that the holder member 2 may be pulled out for only one of the two, or for both of them, depending on the number of cups C.

Further, when the cup holder C is stored, the cup member C inserted into the cup accommodation hole 211 is removed, and then the holder member 2 is brought into the non-use state shown in FIG. After that, the movable member 12 is rotated to a closed position in which the movable member 12 and the movable member 12 oppose each other, and the support 1 and the movable member 12 are arranged in the retracted position inward of the insertion / removal hole 31 (mounting hole 50). And slide it to the inside of the instrument panel P.

As described above, the cup holder H of the present embodiment can be used by mounting it in the vertically long mounting hole 50 formed in the instrument panel P 1 of the vehicle body, and when it is mounted on the vehicle body, it can be moved laterally. Does not require long installation space. In other words, it is not possible to secure a horizontally long installation space in the vehicle body, and it is possible to install the cup holder in a place where it could not be installed until now. Accordingly, when considering the layout of the unit mounted on the instrument panel P, a pattern for vertically mounting the cup holder is added as compared with the conventional case, so that the degree of freedom in the layout of the unit is increased.

Further, since the cup holder H can be stored with the cup holder H facing each other by closing the movable member 12, the shape of the entire cup holder H at the time of storage becomes compact and the installation space can be reduced.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there are design changes and the like within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. Also included in the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the example in which the cup holder is attached to the instrument panel P is given, but the attachment position of the cup holder may be another place as long as it is the panel on the indoor side of the vehicle body. It may be the part to be formed or the rear surface of the console box. Further, in the embodiment, the example in which the movable member is formed in the shape of a flat door is shown, but if the movable member is capable of supporting the holder member, the movable member may be formed only by the frame or other structure. It may be formed into a shape. In addition, although an example in which two movable members are provided is shown in the embodiment, three or more movable members may be provided.
