At the intermediate withdrawal position of the inner case (40) (see FIGS. 9 to 11), the moving pin (53) of the cup pressing member (50) has a through groove (44) as shown in FIG. 9, for example.
The bent portion (44B) moves to the parallel portion (44A). At this time,
Parallel part (44A) of through groove (44) and slanted part of slide groove (36)
(36B) is at the intersecting position, so the cup retainer
The movement of the moving pin (53) of the (50) is due to
It is possible to prevent the cup pressing member (50) from being retracted from the inside of the cup insertion opening (41) of the inner case (40) by being blocked by the (36B).

Further, when the inner case (40) is pulled out from the intermediate pull-out position (see FIGS. 9 to 11), the moving pin (53) of the cup pressing member (50) causes the through-groove to move, as shown in FIG. By moving along the parallel portion (44A) of (44), only the inner case (40) is pulled out while the cup holding member (50) remains stationary with respect to the outer case (30). At this time, the cup pressing member (50) slides in from the inside of the cup insertion opening (41) of the inner case (40) and retracts.

According to the invention described in claim 3, in addition to the operation described in claim 2, the following operation is achieved. That is, the storage position of the inner case (40) (see FIGS. 7 and 8)

The cup pressing member (50) rotates around 3).

At the intermediate withdrawal position of the inner case (40) (see FIGS. 9 to 11), the guide pin (54) moves from the bent portion (45B) of the guide groove (45) as shown in FIG. 9, for example. Since it moves to the parallel portion (45A), the cup pressing member (50) becomes parallel to the inner case (40). Furthermore, the inner case
When pulled out from the intermediate pull-out position (see FIGS. 9 to 11) of (40), the guide pin (54) moves along the parallel portion (45A) of the guide groove (45) as shown in FIG. 2, for example. As a result, only the inner case (40) is pulled out while the cup holding member (50) remains stationary with respect to the outer case (30). At this time, the cup pressing member (50) slides in from the inside of the cup insertion opening (41) of the inner case (40) and retracts.

Next, the inner case (40) is again moved from the intermediate withdrawal position (see FIGS. 9 to 11) to the storage position (see FIGS. 7 and 8).
12), the guide pin (54) will be
As shown in, the guide groove (45) parallel part (45A)
Move along (45B). At this time, since the bending angle (45B) of the guide groove (45) is different from the bending angle (44B) of the through groove (44), the movement that enters the bending portion (44B) of the through groove (44) The cup pressing member (50) is stored while rotating around the pin (53).

The guide pin 54 and the moving pin 53 become parallel to each other, and at that time, the cup pressing member 50 slightly rotates counterclockwise around the moving pin 53 and becomes parallel to the inner case 40. Further, when the inner case 40 is pulled out, the cup lower support member 60 pivots downward due to its own weight around the left and right shaft holes 47 of the inner case 40. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the cup lower support member 60 is configured such that the intermediate locking portions 66 of the left and right hanging pieces 62 are brought into contact with the front edge portions of the bottom wall 33 of the outer case 30, respectively. To stand still.

At the intermediate withdrawal position of the inner case 40,
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, since the cup pressing member 50 projects into the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40,
The circumference of the cup 20 having a relatively small diameter inserted into the cup insertion opening 41 can be held in the facing interval between the curved portion 55 and the opening front edge portion of the cup insertion opening 41. Further, at this time, since the inclined portion 36B of the slide groove 36 of the outer case 30 and the parallel portion 44A of the through groove 44 of the inner case 40 are at the intersecting position, the moving pin 53 of the cup pressing member 50 is
As shown in FIG. 5, the retreat is prevented by coming into contact with the inclined portion 36B of the slide groove 36. Therefore, it is prevented that the cup 20 inserted into the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40 is vibrated by the vibration of the vehicle and is pushed by the cup 20 so that the cup holding member 50 is retracted from the cup insertion opening 41. it can.

Further, when the inner case 40 is pulled out, the inner case 40 and the cup lower support member 60 are pulled out while the cup pressing member 50 remains stationary.
That is, the moving pin 53 of the cup pressing member 50 is
As shown in FIG. 9, the cup pressing member 50 is prevented from moving forward by hitting the tip end of the inclined portion 36B of the slide groove 36 of the outer case 30.

On the other hand, when the inner case 40 is pulled out, the moving pin 53 of the cup pressing member 50 relatively moves along the parallel portion 44A of the through groove 44 of the inner case 40, as shown in FIG. To do. Similarly, the guide pin 54 of the cup pressing member 50 is also parallel to the parallel portion 45 of the guide groove 45 of the inner case 40.
Move relatively along A. In this way, the inner case 40 and the cup lower support member 60 are pulled out while the cup holding member 50 remains stationary.

For this reason, when the inner case 40 is pulled out, the cup receiving portion 52 of the cup pressing member 50 projecting into the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40 is replaced by the inner case 40.
It is relatively retracted from inside the cup insertion opening 41 of 40. Therefore,
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the facing distance between the curved portion 55 of the cup pressing member 50 and the opening front edge of the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40 can be gradually increased according to the amount of pulling out the inner case 40. . Therefore, the outer shape of the cup 20 that can be held in the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40 can be gradually enlarged.

At this time, the left and right elastic projecting pieces 48 of the inner case 40 are not shown in the figure, but the left and right side walls of the outer case 30 are not shown.
Since it is located at the high place 81 by overcoming the recesses 83 of 32, the frictional resistance is increased, and the inner case 40 is prevented from retreating and rattling. Then, when the inner case 40 is pulled out to the maximum projecting position, the left and right elastic projecting pieces 48 of the inner case 40 snap into the step portions 84 of the left and right side walls 32 of the outer case 30, as shown in FIG. The operator can see that the inner case 40 has been pulled out to the maximum pull-out position.

The inner case fits into the left and right locking holes 37 of 33.
You will not be able to withdraw 40 more. At this maximum pulled-out position, the cup receiving portion 52 of the cup pressing member 50 is completely retracted from the inside of the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40, as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to hold the cup 20 having a relatively large diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of the cup insertion opening 41 of the inner case 40.

At this time, the cup lower support member 60 is
As shown in FIG. 4, the left and right abutting pieces 65, 65 abut on the lower surface of the case body 42 of the inner case 40, so that the abutting pieces 65 stand still at the maximum tilt position. On the other hand, when the inner case 40 is stored, the inner case 40 may be pushed into the outer case 30 by hand, and the inner case 40 is stored in the reverse order.

At this time, in the cup lower support member 60, as shown in FIG. 8, the left and right hanging pieces are pushed by the bottom wall 33 of the outer case 30 and resist the urging force of the spring 70, and the inner case.
It swivels upward about the left and right shaft holes 47 of 40, and is housed again in the outer case 30 in a substantially horizontal state. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the cup pressing member 50 is housed in the outer case 30 while slightly rotating clockwise around the moving pin 53. That is, the cup pressing member
When the moving pin 53 of 50 returns from the inclined portion 36B of the slide groove 36 of the outer case 30 to the straight portion 36A, the moving pin 53 advances from the parallel portion 44A of the through groove 44 of the inner case 40 to the bent portion 44B,
The guide pin 54 also advances from the parallel portion 45A of the guide groove 45 to the bent portion 45B. At this time, since the bent portion 45B of the guide groove 45 is more gently inclined than the bent portion 44B of the through groove 44, the cup pressing member 50 rotates clockwise about the moving pin 53. For this reason, the left and right side walls of the outer case 30, which are necessary to store the cup pressing member 50,
The facing interval of 32 can be set relatively narrow.

In the first embodiment, the guide means is
