Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure of a card holder provided on an instrument panel or the like of a vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In conventional vehicles, the instrument panel is provided with a glove box, a parcel box, a center accessory box, etc., and a center console box is also installed.In these boxes, the storage items are usually fixed. If you store small items such as cards, which have started to be used frequently at highway toll gates and gas stations, in the above box, there is an inconvenience that the position of the card is not fixed. As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 178234, there is an ashtray for an automobile in which a small article tray is mounted and a card holder is provided on the back surface of a heat resistant lid which covers the opening. Has a very complicated structure as a card holder, and as for the insertion and removal of the card, there are two operations: an ashtray withdrawal operation and a lid opening / closing Because it requires the operation, there has been a drawback that handling is troublesome.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention is intended to provide a card storage device for a vehicle, which has a simple structure and allows easy insertion and removal of cards.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, a vehicle card storage device according to the present invention is a plate that is housed in a recess of a vehicle body and is urged by a spring toward the inner surface of the recess so that its end portion can be freely inserted and removed toward the passenger compartment. Also, the card holder is provided at the end of the plate, and the card holder is configured to be inserted and removed from the inside of the recess toward the vehicle compartment side when the end of the plate is inserted and removed.

[0005]

[Action]

 Therefore, by pulling out the end of the plate housed in the recess of the vehicle body toward the passenger compartment, the card insert provided at that end can be pulled out from the recess of the vehicle to the passenger compartment. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove the card from the card slot or insert the card into the card slot, and because the card slot is provided at the end of the plate housed in the vehicle body recess, Their configuration can be very simple.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be specifically described. The instrument tray of the vehicle or the recess 1 of the center console is fitted with the ashtray 2, the plate 4 is attached to the upper end of the column 3 in the ashtray 2, and the spring 5 elastically acts on the upper cover 6. When the ash tray 2 is pulled out from the recess 1 toward the vehicle compartment 7 side as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the projection 8 of the plate 4 engages with the recess 9 of the cover 6. , The pull-out position of the ash tray 2 is restricted.

On the other hand, the resinous card holder 10 has a hollow portion 13 and a pocket 14 formed above and below the central groove 11 for accommodating the cards 12, respectively, and the central groove 11 is fitted to the end portion of the plate 4, The claw 15 protruding from the card holder 10 is elastically abutted on the lower surface of the plate 4 to be held at the end of the plate 4, and the ash tray 2 is pushed into the recess 1 as indicated by the chain line in FIG. When the ash tray 2 is pulled out to the vehicle compartment 7 side as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the card holder 10 is placed in the vehicle compartment 7 when it is pushed. Is becoming.

That is, when the ash tray 2 is pulled out to the passenger compartment 7 side, the protrusion 8 of the plate 4 engages with the recess 9 of the cover 6, so that the card holder 10 is flipped up inside the passenger compartment 7. The front seat occupant can easily insert the card 12 into the hollow portion 13 and the pocket 14 of the card holder 10 or can easily remove the card 12 from the hollow portion 13 and the ash tray 2. By pushing the card 12 into the recess 1, the card 12 is automatically accommodated in the recess 1 together with the card holder 10, which makes it very convenient to store the card 12 in the vehicle.

Further, when the ash tray 2 is pulled out to the vehicle compartment 7 side, the card holder 10 is flipped up as described above, so that a relatively large gap is formed between the card holder 10 and the ash tray 2. Since another small item can be easily stored in or taken out from the ash tray 2, it is easy for a person who does not smoke to use the ash tray 2 as a small item container, which is also convenient in this respect.

In addition, since the card insert 10 is held by using the plate 4 of the ash tray 2 already installed in the vehicle, the structure is very simple, and there is no particular cost increase, and it is practical. Is. Moreover, if the card holder 10 is no longer required, the card holder 10 can be easily removed from the plate 4 by floating the claw 15 from the lower surface of the plate 4, and the card holder 10 is removable. is there.

Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to the ash tray in the rear seat, and a mechanism similar to the above plate is installed in the recess of the vehicle body separately from the ash tray. , The card holder is attached to it, or when the plate with the card holder attached is pulled out toward the passenger compartment side, the end of the plate is located in the car body recess near the passenger compartment The storage portion may be arranged in the vehicle compartment, and the card holder of each of the above embodiments can be integrally formed with the plate as required.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 In the card storage device for a vehicle according to the present invention, by pulling out the end of the plate housed in the recess of the vehicle body toward the vehicle compartment, the card holder provided at the end of the plate is removed from the vehicle recess. Since it can be pulled out to the room side, it is possible to easily remove the card from the card insert or insert the card into the card insert, which is practically very convenient and stored in the car body recess. Since the card slot is provided at the end of the plate, the structure thereof can be made very simple without any increase in cost.
