FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the outer appearance of a parcel tray according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The feature of this embodiment is that the size of the opening of the parcel tray is made substantially the same as that of the tray currently used, and the cassette tape inserted from such opening is fixedly held by rotating inside the tray. There is a point in doing so.

That is, the parcel tray 1 has an inclined surface as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 in order that the edge portion 1a in the opening formed on the passenger compartment side allows temporary placement of the cassette tape described later. The bottom surface, which is continuous with this inclined surface, has a range 1A for storing articles other than the cassette tape and a range 1B for storing the cassette tape CST, which are partitioned by the frame plate 1b. Tape cs
In the range 1B for accommodating T, there is provided a cassette tape accommodating portion 2 constituted by arranging groove portions formed toward the opening edge 1a in the vehicle width direction.

The cassette tape accommodating portion 2 is a second part of which is shown.
In the figure, the partition wall 2a has a groove 2A having a width corresponding to the width (CB) of the cassette tape.
Is engaged by the recess 2A1 that sets the temporary placement position of the cassette tape in cooperation with the opening edge 1a of the parcel tray 1, the locking piece 2A2 that locks the side edge of the cassette tape, and the locking piece 2A2. A pressing piece (2A3) for pressing and supporting the side edge of the cassette tape opposite to the side edge to be stopped is provided.

That is, the recess 2A1 described above, in the bottom of the groove 2A,
When the cassette tape CST is obliquely inserted, it is for stopping the corner of the cassette tape CST. As shown in FIG. 3, when the cassette tape CST is obliquely inserted, the cassette tape CST is rotated. Also that tape CST corner CS
T1 is formed at a position where it can be pressed against a pressing piece 2A3 described later without protruding from one end in the longitudinal direction of the groove 2A, and the depth thereof is the locking piece 2A2 described below and the opening edge 1a of the parcel tray 1.
The size is such that the corner CST2 of the cassette tape CST can be located on the straight line connecting the and.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the locking piece 2A2 described above is formed in a horizontal portion that is continuous with the inclined piece that extends from the position of the maximum depth of the recess 2A1 to the height of the bottom surface of the groove 2A. In the embodiment, the top portion 2A20 is formed of a right-angled triangular piece having an extremely small arc portion. The locking piece 2A2 has a top portion 2A20 whose position is, as shown in FIG. 3, a cassette tape C whose corners are stopped by the above-described recess 2A1.
The side surface of the ST is set to be located on a line extending from the inclined surface of the opening edge 1a of the parcel tray 1.

Then, the pressing piece 2A3 described above is provided in a part of the partition wall on the side facing the locking piece 2A2 in the longitudinal direction of the groove 2A, and the base end is a swingable elastic piece hinge-coupled,
The plain sheet bulges and projects toward the locking piece 2A2 side.
Parcel tray 1 located on the free end side of this pressing piece 2A3
A hole 1c is formed in the bottom portion of the as a relief portion when the pressing piece 2A3 is pushed back from the flat ecological position by the side edge of the cassette tape CST.

Since the present embodiment has the above-mentioned structure, when the cassette tape CST is inserted into the parcel tray 1, the third tape
The cassette tape CST is inserted in a slanted state as indicated by the symbol α in the figure.

In other words, when the size of the opening in the parcel tray 1 is less than the length of the cassette tape CST in the longitudinal direction, the cassette tape CST is inserted with its long side not facing the opening of the parcel tray 1. I have no choice but to do this.

Then, the cassette tape CST inserted into the parcel tray 1 has its corner CST2 on the leading end side in the insertion direction stopped by the recess 2A1 of the groove 2A in the cassette accommodating portion 2, and the locking piece 2A2 and pressing piece 2A3. The temporary placement state is set by holding the side edge on the straight line obtained by.

In this state, when the position indicated by reference character P in FIG. 3 is pressed with a finger, the cassette tape CST is in a state in which the corner CST1 opposite to the corner CST2 that is stopped by the recess 2A1 abuts the pressing piece 2A3. After that (the position indicated by the symbol β in the figure), the pressing piece 2A3 is pushed back from the normal state and the position indicated by the symbol γ in the figure, that is, the label affixed to the side surface of the cassette tape CST is upright. It is set so that it can be viewed from the room. At this time, the pressing piece 2A3 presses the side surface of the cassette tape CST by its own habit, and the surface opposite to this surface is engaged with the locking piece 2A3.
It is fixed by holding it against A2.

According to this embodiment, even when the cassette tape is inserted in a state where the label cannot be seen due to the size of the opening of the parcel tray 1, the label can be viewed by simply rotating the cassette tape after the insertion. Since it can be set to, even if the parcel tray has a narrow opening in order to secure a space for the feet in the vehicle, it is possible to insert the cassette tape and identify the label.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the cassette tape can be stored in a constant position at all times, which can facilitate the tidying of the tape and also when selecting the tape. Since all the cassette tapes are arranged evenly, the label can be easily read and the cassette can be easily selected.
