【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 is a partially omitted vertical sectional view of the console box 2 shown with the cup holder 1 according to the present invention mounted, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof.

First, the console box 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the console box 2 includes a box main body 2A and a lid 2B. Are formed. The accommodating recess 21 has a substantially quadrangular shape in a horizontal cross section and has four inner side surfaces 21a to 21d. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, each of the inner side surfaces 21a to 21d is inclined so that the cross-sectional area of the storage recess 21 gradually decreases downward.

The lid 2B is for opening and closing the accommodation recess 21, and is rotatably attached to the rear end of the box body 2A via a hinge 22. The lid 2B is restricted by the rotation restricting arm 23 so as not to rotate more than the state shown in FIG. On the other hand, a locking mechanism (not shown) is provided between the lid 2B and the box body 2A, and unless the locked state is released, the lid 2B is closed from the open state due to vehicle vibration or the like. It does not move. Also. A protrusion 24 is formed at the tip of the lid 2B, and the protrusion 24 is fitted into the engagement hole 25 of the box body 2A so that the lid 2B is held in the closed state.

The cup holder 1 is composed of a holder body 1A and a rotating arm 1B, and is detachably mounted near the opening of the accommodation recess 21. That is, the holder body 1A is made of resin and is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. The length of the holder main body 1A in the front-rear direction is substantially the same as the length of the holder main body 1A in the front-rear direction at the opening of the accommodation recess 21, but the width of the holder main body 1A is smaller than the width of the accommodation recess 21. Further, the four side surfaces 11a to 11d of the holder body 1A are inclined surfaces corresponding to the four inner side surfaces 21a to 21d of the accommodation recess 21.

Therefore, the holder main body 1A is supported horizontally and stably at a predetermined position of the accommodation recess 21 by bringing the side surfaces 11a and 11c into surface contact with the two inner side surfaces 21a and 21c of the accommodation recess 21 at the same time. Will be done. In this embodiment, an intermediate portion between the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13 of the holder body 1A is located at the same height as the upper surface 26 of the box body 2A.

In addition, convex portions 14 are formed on the side surfaces 11b and 11d of the holder body 1A, respectively. The convex portion 14 is arranged and formed so as to come into contact with the upper surface 26 of the box body 2A when the side surfaces 11a and 11c contact the inner side surfaces 21a and 21c simultaneously. Therefore, by inserting the holder main body 1A into the accommodating concave portion 21 so that the convex portion 14 contacts the upper surface 26, the side surfaces 11a and 11c can be brought into surface contact with the inner side surfaces 21a and 21c at the same time.

In addition, an insertion hole 15 that penetrates vertically is formed in a substantially central portion of the holder body 1A. The insertion hole 15 is for restricting the horizontal movement of the drinking container 3 such as a can of juice or a paper cup inserted therein, and its size is different from that of the beverage container 3 to be used. It is decided as appropriate according to the maximum one of them.

The rotating arm 1B is formed by forming a thin rod made of metal into a substantially U-shape, and has two arm portions 16 and 16 extending in the longitudinal direction of the holder body 1A, and arm portions 16 and 16. It is composed of a support portion 17 provided between the front end portions of 16. The base end of each arm 16 is supported by support walls 18 formed on the lower surface 13 of the holder body 1A so as to be vertically rotatable. When the arm portion 16 hits the lower surface 13 of the holder body 1A, the arm portion 16 becomes substantially parallel to the holder body 1A and cannot be further rotated upward (accommodation position). Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a stop wall 19 which is inclined obliquely downward is formed in the lower part of the support wall 18, and by hitting the stop wall 19, the arm portion 16 is further rotated downward. It is no longer possible (support position).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the support wall 18 is formed with an engagement protrusion 18 a. The engaging projection 18a fixes the arm 16 in the accommodation position by sandwiching the arm 16 between the engaging projection 18a and the lower surface 13 of the holder body 1A, while sandwiching the arm 16 between the engaging projection 18a and the stop wall 19. This is for fixing the arm portion 16 in the supporting position. Of course, if the arm portion 16 is forcibly rotated, the two arm portions 16 and 16 are deformed so that the space between them is widened, and the engagement protrusion 18a can be overcome.

The support portion 17 is formed to have a diameter that is substantially the same as or slightly longer than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 15. As shown in FIG. 1, when the arm portion 16 is rotated to the support position, the insertion portion of the insertion hole 15 is rotated. Located so that it intersects the center line. Therefore, at the supporting position, the bottom of the beverage container 3 can be supported by the supporting portion 17.

When the cup holder 1 having the above-mentioned configuration is used, the rotating arm 1B is mounted in the housing recess 21 of the console box 2 while being rotated to the supporting position. Then, the beverage container 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 15, and the bottom portion thereof is supported by the support portion 17.

When the cup holder 1 is not used, it is removed from the console box 2. Thereby, the accommodation recess 21 can be effectively used. Further, when the removed cup holder 1 is stored in an appropriate place, the rotating arm 1B is rotated to the accommodating position. Then, the entire rotating arm 1B becomes parallel to the holder body 1A, so that the space occupied for storage can be reduced. Therefore, even if the cup holder 1 is housed in the housing recess 21, the space of the housing recess 21 is not so narrow.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the front and rear side surfaces 11a and 11c of the holder body 1A are brought into surface contact with the inclined front and rear inner side surfaces 21a and 21c of the housing recess 21 so that the cup holder 1 is attached to the console box 2. Although the holder body 1A is mounted near the housing recess 21, the front and rear lengths of the holder body 1A are made shorter than the front and rear lengths of the housing recess 21, and the left and right side surfaces 11b and 11d are brought into surface contact with the inner side surfaces 21b and 21d. It may be attached depending on the situation. Further, the holder body 1 may be placed on the upper surface 26 of the box body 2A.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the vehicle console box cup holder of the present invention can be detachably attached to the opening of the accommodation recess, so that when the cup holder is not used, By detaching the housing from the console box, the housing recess can be used widely and effectively. In addition, the rotating arm for supporting the beverage container is made rotatable between the support position and the storage position, and is made substantially parallel to the holder body in the storage position. It is removed from the console box and stored. In this case, the effect that the occupied space for storage can be reduced can be obtained.
