2. Description of the Related Art A cup holder provided in an instrument panel, a glove box or a console box for holding canned juice or the like in a vehicle interior is known. For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-103837 discloses a cup holder that can be used by passengers in the rear seats.
It is described that the console box is provided so as to be able to move in and out from the rear end surface.

In order to function as a cup holder, a bottom member that supports the bottom of the cup and a cup holding member that holds the side peripheral surface of the cup are required. Therefore, in the cup holder which is provided so as to be able to move in and out from the rear end surface of the console box, the bottom member is swingably held by the cup holding member, and the bottom member swings upward when being stored in the console box. In many cases, the storage space is made smaller by being substantially flush with the holding member, and when the cup holding member is pulled out at the time of use, the bottom member swings downward to reach the use position.

[0004]

At the rear end of the console box, an ashtray for the rear seat is generally provided so as to be freely drawn out. However, when the cup holder is used, the bottom member is swinging and lowered, so that the cup holder interferes with the use of the ashtray.

Further, in the above cup holder, there is a problem that the cup holding member occupies a large area in plan view when it is stored in the console box, and a space below the cup holding member becomes a dead space. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to use both the ashtray and the cup holder at the same time and to minimize the dead space.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A first method for solving the above problems is described below.
The cup holder of the present invention has a substantially box-shaped first drawer member that is inserted and withdrawn from the panel portion, and a first drawer member that is part of the panel portion when the first drawer member is housed in the panel portion. From a container-shaped second drawer member that relatively moves in and out relative to the second drawer member, and a plate-shaped cup holding member that is slidably held in the first drawer member above the second drawer member in the drawing direction and the storage direction. It is characterized by

The cup holder according to the second aspect of the present invention comprises a substantially box-shaped first drawer member that comes in and out of the panel portion, and one end surface that constitutes a part of the panel portion when the first drawer member is housed in the panel portion. It is composed of a container-shaped second drawer member that further comes in and out, a leg portion, and a plate-like portion that extends from one end of the leg portion in a substantially L-shaped cross section, and the other end of the leg portion can swing into the first drawer member. And a plate holding portion that is held by the cup holding member so that the plate portion is in a horizontal position and in a vertical position along the second drawer member by swinging the leg portion.

[0008]

In the cup holder according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the cup holder is used as the cup holder, the first pullout member is first pulled out from the panel portion. And slide the cup holding member,
The cup holder can be used by holding the cup between the inner surface of the end of the first drawer member and the cup holding member. The bottom of the cup is received on the bottom of the first drawer.

In this state, by pulling out the second drawer member from one end surface of the first drawer member, the second drawer device can be used as an ashtray or the like. Then, when housing the cup holder, the first drawer member is pushed into the panel portion. At this time, the cup holding member can be positioned above the second drawer member, and the cup holding member and the second drawer member can be accommodated in a stacked state in a plan view, so that the dead space in the panel portion can be saved. Can be made smaller.

In the cup holder according to the second aspect of the invention, when the cup holder is used, the first pullout member is first pulled out from the panel portion. Then, the legs are swung to bring the plate-like portion to a substantially horizontal position. Then, the cup can be used as a cup holder by holding the cup in the plate-shaped portion itself or between the plate-shaped portion and the inner surface of the front portion of the first drawer member and receiving the bottom of the cup by the bottom surface of the first drawer member.

In this state, by pulling out the second drawer member from one end surface of the first drawer member, the second drawer device can be used as an ashtray or the like. Then, when the cup holder is stored, the leg portion is swung to bring the plate-shaped portion to a substantially vertical position along the second drawer member, and the first drawer member is pushed into the panel portion for storage. At this time, since the length of the cup holding member in the storage direction of the first drawer member is substantially the length of the leg portion, the dead space in the panel portion can be reduced.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples. The present embodiment relates to a cup holder that is provided on the rear side of a console box so that it can be inserted and removed freely. (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a cup holder of this embodiment. This cup holder is composed of a first drawer member 2 which is provided in a panel portion 10 on the rear side end surface of the console box 1 so as to be able to move in and out, an ashtray device 3, and a cup holding member 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the front end of the first pullout member 2 has a panel portion 1 when it is stored in the console box 1.
One end face 20 forming a part of 0 is formed. A storage space 21 is formed behind the one end face 20, and the ashtray device 3 is stored in the storage space 21. The ashtray device 3 is pivotally supported on both side walls of the storage space 21 so as to be swingable, and is held in at least two positions, a use position protruding forward from the one end face 20 and a non-use position stored in the storage space 21. Is configured.

At the rear end of the first drawer member 2, there is formed a locking projection 22 which engages with the projection 11 of the console box 1 during withdrawal and restricts further withdrawal. In addition, a pair of left and right guide grooves 23 extending in the moving direction of the first drawer 2 are formed in the inner upper portions of both side walls, and a step portion 24 is formed in the upper portion of the storage space 21. This first
The drawer member 2 has a substantially U shape in a plan view, and a pair of left and right rear end portions 25 opposite to the one end surface 20 moves in the gap portions 15 on both the left and right sides of the console box 1 as shown in FIG. With this configuration, the interference with the box portion of the console box 1 is avoided, and the occurrence of dead space is avoided. The first pull-out member 2 is held in the console box 1 via a push-lock open device (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cup holding member 4 includes a top plate portion 40, a baffle plate 41 hanging downward from the top plate portion 40, left and right sides of the top plate portion 40, and a rear portion. It is composed of three curtain plates 42 extending downward to the side. Top plate 4

By engaging the rail 46 with the guide groove 23, the cup holding member 4 is slidably held by the first drawer member 2.

Now, FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing a state in which the cup holder of the present embodiment having the above-mentioned structure is not used. In this state, the cup holding member 4 has the projecting end portion 47 of the top plate portion 40 at the position of the step portion 24 in a plan view. Therefore, the dead space generated by the cup holding member 4 at the back of the storage space 21 is extremely small, only by the distance from the baffle plate 41 to the protrusion 44.

In this state, the ashtray device 3 can be swung in the direction of the arrow and pulled out and used as an ashtray as in the conventional case. When used as a cup holder, one end face 20 or the ashtray device 3 is pressed with a finger. Then, the lock of the push-lock opening device (not shown) is released, and the tip of the first pull-out member 2 projects from the panel portion 10, so that it is pulled out from the panel portion 10.
At this time, the cup holding member 4 is also pulled out together, but the projection 44 comes into contact with the locking projection 12 in the console box 1 to restrict the movement of the cup holding member 4.

After that, only the first pull-out member 2 is pulled out, and the locking projection 22 engages with the projection 11 to restrict the sliding movement. In that state, as shown in FIG. 2, a space 26 is formed between the cup holding member 4 and the front end surface 27 of the first drawer member 2, and if the space 26 holds the cup, the bottom of the cup is formed. Is supported by the bottom surface of the first drawer member 2 and the side peripheral surface is supported by the arcuate portion 43 and the front end surface 27 of the first drawer member 2, so that it can be used as a cup holder. When the cup is not held, the baffle plate 41 can be seen from the upper opening of the space 26, and
It is devised so that the back of the drawer member 2 cannot be seen.

Even when the ashtray device 3 is used as shown in FIG. 2, the ashtray device 3 can be swung to be used as the ashtray. When the use as a cup holder is stopped, after removing the cup from the space 26, the one end face 20 or the ashtray device 3 is pressed in the storage direction to push the first drawer member 2 into the panel portion 10. Then, after the front end surface 27 of the first drawer 2 comes into contact with the baffle plate 41, the cup holding member 4 also slides, and the first drawer 2 is locked by the push-lock open device in the state of FIG. (Embodiment 2) This embodiment has the same configuration as that of Embodiment 1 except that the configuration of the cup holding member 5 is different.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the cup holding member 5 is composed of a plate-shaped portion 50 and a leg portion 51 having an L-shaped cross section that hangs down from the plate-shaped portion 50. It is pivotally supported on the bottom surface of the first drawer member 2 so as to be swingable. Plate portion 50
Two arc portions 52 are formed in the same as in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, when not used as a cup holder, as shown in FIG. 8, the cup holding member 5 is swung so that the plate-like portion 50 approaches the front end face 27 of the first drawing member 2 and becomes substantially vertical. It stands up and has a small dead space.

When used as a cup holder, FIG.
As shown in FIG.
0 becomes a horizontal state, and the plate-shaped portion 50 and the front end surface 27 of the first drawer member 2 can hold the cup and can be used as a cup holder. Even in that state, the ashtray device 3 can be used as an ashtray as in the first embodiment. Further, since the leg portion 51 is L-shaped, one side of the L-shaped portion is in contact with the bottom surface of the first drawer member 2 when used as a cup holding member, so that the leg portion 51 is prevented from falling to the opposite side. Has been done.

[0022]

According to the cup holder of the present invention, the second drawer member can be used as an ashtray while the first drawer member is used as the cup holder. Further, since the cup holding member can be slidably moved or swung in the first drawer member, the dead space generated by the cup holding member can be reduced,
It is possible to effectively utilize the space of the portion for accommodating the cup holder of the present invention.
