FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tray 11 developed, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the tray 11 in a developed state, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the tray 11 in a folded state, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the tray 11 in a folded state. The tray 11 is formed by blow molding a synthetic resin material having heat resistance. The member 21 and the member 21 are integrally formed so as to be foldable via an integral hinge (hinge portion) 20.

The substrate member 12 integrally has a hollow portion 13 formed by blow molding, and is formed by a lower surface plate 14, a mating face plate 15 and four peripheral edges 16 in a predetermined outer shape, for example, a substantially rectangular shape. A recess 15 for accommodating small items in a predetermined shape is provided in the recess 15 as shown in the figure, and the lower surface plate 14 follows the upper surface 1a having the mounting recess 1c of the instrument panel 1 and is predetermined with the mating face plate 15. The bulging bottom portion 18 is formed with a space of. In addition, a container holder recess 19 that allows the container W to be placed is provided on the mating face plate 15 side. A lid member 21 is connected to one edge 16a side of the substrate member 12 thus formed via an integral hinge (hinge portion) 20.

The lid member 21 is integrally blow-molded at the same time as the substrate member 12 and integrally has a hollow portion 22. The outer shape of the lid member 21 is a substantially square shape that is substantially aligned with the substrate member 12, and is formed on the mating face plate 23 and the upper surface. The mating face plate 23 is formed by a face plate 24 and four peripheral edges 25. The mating face plate 23 has an edge portion 27 on its four circumferences, and has a substantially square shape and a flat bottom portion 26a on which light meal lunches, sandwiches and the like can be placed. The mounting recess 26 is recessed to form a tray shape. Further, the upper surface plate 24 is bulged and formed along the edge portion 25a on the hinge portion 20 side of the upper surface plate 24 side and the left and right edge portions 25b, 25c side (in this example, it is shown on one side portion 25b side). A raised edge 28 is formed on the hinge portion 20 side of the raised edge 28 and abuts against the front corner portion 1b of the instrument panel 1 when the lid member 21 is expanded via the hinge portion 20 as shown in FIG. The lid member 21 is formed so as to be held horizontally in a state where the lid member 21 is substantially flush with the mating face plate 15 of the substrate member 12. Further, the mounting recess 26 of the lid member 21 is provided with a container holder recess 29 that is aligned with the container holder recess 19 recessed in the substrate member 12. Further, for example, the magnet 30 is embedded in the edge 17a of the small recess 17 of the substrate member 12, and the iron piece 31 is embedded in the edge 27 of the mounting recess 26 of the lid member 21 corresponding to the magnet 30. Is provided so as to hold the folded state by suction.

In the tray 11 thus formed, the adhesive tape 32 is attached to a predetermined position of the bulging bottom portion 18 of the substrate member 12, and the upper surface 1 a of the instrument panel 1 is attached via the adhesive tape 32. For example, it is affixed and fixed in a mounting recess 1c formed at a predetermined position on the front side of the passenger seat.

The tray 11 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, and in this mounted state, the lid member 21 is folded over the substrate member 12 via the hinge portion 20 in a superposed manner as shown in FIG. The top plate 24 of the lid member 21 is trimmed by the raised edges 28 that are formed to bulge along the edges 25a and 25b of the four peripheral edges 25 so that the top plate 24 does not fall off even when an article is placed on the top plate 24. It is possible to prevent it, and it is possible to close the small member concave portion 17 of the closed substrate member 12 in a state where the small objects are accommodated.

Then, at the time of a light meal, the lid member 21 can be unfolded to the passenger seat side with one touch around the hinge portion 20 by releasing the adsorption of the magnet 30 and the iron piece 31 from the closed state of the lid member 21. As a result of this development, the lid member 21 is inverted and the raised edge 28 on the side of the top plate 24 is brought into contact with the front corner portion 1b of the instrument panel 1 so that the mounting face plate 23 is placed on the top side and the mounting recess 26 is placed. It is overhanged while being held horizontally. In this state, the mating face plate 23 of the lid member 21 is held on substantially the same plane as the mating face plate 15 of the substrate member 12, and a relatively wide flat face is formed by the both mating face plates 15 and 23 so that it can be used as a table.

As described above, normally, by folding the lid member 21 to overlap with the substrate member 12, small items can be placed on the upper surface plate 24, and the small item recess 17 of the substrate member 12 can be placed. Small items can be stored in the lid, and the lid member 21 is inverted and formed on the upper plate 24 side by unfolding the lid member 21 to the passenger seat side through the hinge portion 20 during a light meal. The raised edge 28 is brought into contact with the front corner portion 1b of the instrument panel 1, and the mounting concave portion 26 recessed in the mating face plate 23 with the mating face plate 23 as the upper surface side is made horizontal and is projected and held to hold the mating face plate 15. , 23 can be used as a table for light meals, there is no need to prepare a table set as an article as in the conventional case, and when the lid member 21 is not used, it can be folded in the substrate member 12 in a superposed manner so as not to interfere. Never.

In the above embodiment, the container holder recess 29 is provided in the lid member 21 in alignment with the container holder recess 19 of the substrate member 12. However, this container holder recess 29 is fitted. You may form in the holder hole for containers which let it pass.
