DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article holder for holding various articles in a vehicle cabin, and more particularly to an article holder suitable for a recent vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various tools and devices have been put to practical use for holding various articles in a passenger compartment of an automobile. However, as the type of automobile tends to change with the times, conventional article holders are not always compatible with recent vehicles.

[0003]

For example, there is a vehicle in which a seat is provided with an armrest. The armrest is stored standing upright substantially along the back of the seat. When used, the armrest is pivoted upward and pulled forward to be used horizontally. An article holder that uses such an armrest and is used by being attached thereto has not been put into practical use. An object of the present invention is to provide an article holder that can easily and conveniently hold various articles used in a vehicle cabin by using such an armrest.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a base portion to be attached to a side surface of an armrest is first prepared and fixed to the armrest. By reducing the thickness of the base portion in the thickness direction, it does not become an obstacle and does not have to be removed one by one. And when using an article holder, from the various prepared article holding units, select a desired one according to the application,
It was used by attaching to this base part. Because the armrest is very close to the seat occupant, a very easy-to-use article holder is obtained.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to an article holder for use by being attached to a side surface of an armrest provided on a seat of an automobile. An article holding section having a structure can be used by exchanging it according to a use.

A basic structure is such that an article holding section is directly attached to a base section attached to an armrest. With such a configuration, it is possible to select an article holding unit corresponding to the article to be held, such as a drink holder, a map holder, or a tissue holder, and attach it to the base unit for use.

Further, when storing the armrest when the article holder is unnecessary, it is not necessary to remove the base part each time. In order to do this, the protrusions must be minimized. For this purpose, a connecting member is provided in the middle of the base portion and the article holding portion to connect the two with each other and to provide a means for attaching and detaching the two. In this way, when the article holder is unnecessary, the connecting member can be removed, so that the protrusion of the base part is almost eliminated, so that it does not become a hindrance when storing the armrest, and also prevents a child or the like from being injured by hitting the body. .

The means for attaching the base portion to the side surface of the armrest of the vehicle can be stably attached and fixed if one end thereof is tightened against the armrest by a belt fixed to the base portion. In addition, if the mounting is performed by an elastic clip that clamps the armrest extended from the base portion, it can be relatively easily removed, and a highly flexible fixed state can be obtained.

The means for attaching and detaching the article holding portion to and from the base portion may be such that a downward pocket-shaped engaging recess provided on the article holding portion is hooked on an upward hook extending from the base portion. Alternatively, a downward hook of the article holding portion may be hooked on an upward pocket-shaped engaging concave portion provided in the base portion. In the latter case, the pocket-shaped engaging concave portion itself can be used as the article holding portion. In any case, the attachment / detachment is simple and easy, so that the article holding portion can be replaced according to the application.

[0010] Even when a connecting member is interposed between the article holding portion and the base portion, the means for attaching and detaching the article holding portion to and from the connecting portion is configured in the same manner as in the preceding paragraph, and can be easily attached and detached.

If hooks are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base portion or the connecting member, two hand portions such as a plastic bag with a hand portion can be hung here to be used as a garbage bag or the like in a vehicle. And the convenience is further improved.
