DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an overhead console mounting structure used by being mounted on a ceiling in a vehicle cabin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Except for special vehicles such as large buses, it is easy to secure a place for holding or installing various devices and articles in the interior of a vehicle that is not large enough. That's not something. Recently, however, the number of articles and devices used in automobiles has been increasing, and places for holding and installing them have become increasingly scarce, which has hindered the orderly arrangement of the vehicle interior. .

[0003] Therefore, it is conceivable to install an overhead console by using a ceiling part of a room which has not been widely used in the past, and to install equipment or hold articles here. Some are set as genuine mounting. In addition, there is a case where an additional mounting after the purchase of the vehicle is carried out, using the mounting portion of the room lamp and fastening together with the mounting screw.

[0004]

However, among the above, the former genuine product has difficulty in installation after the purchase of the vehicle, and even if it can be carried out, the mounting structure is complicated, so that it is troublesome. The installation cost tends to increase, and the latter for additional installation after the purchase of the vehicle can only store relatively light equipment and articles such as air purifiers due to the installation structure. there were. An object of the present invention is to provide an overhead console mounting structure for additional mounting, which can solve such inconvenience and can hold a relatively heavy device or article, and can obtain a stable mounting state. And

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a console body, a bracket for attaching the console body to a ceiling in a vehicle cabin, and a device for holding a device to be housed in the console body or an article holder. A bracket is provided, and the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting portion for an overhead air-conditioner for a rear seat and a mounting portion for a room lamp mounting portion on an upper ceiling of a driver's seat.

[0006] The bracket may be an integral type having both a mounting portion for an overhead air conditioner for a rear seat and a mounting portion for a room lamp mounting portion on an upper ceiling of a driver's seat. The above-mentioned problems can be solved in any case even if they are separated and formed separately.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to a structure in which an overhead console for holding equipment and article holders is mounted on a ceiling in a vehicle, a mounting portion for an existing rear air conditioner in the vehicle, and a driving system. The room lamp mounting portion on the ceiling above the seat is used.

Since the console body is attached to a plurality of locations on the vehicle side via brackets, the brackets may be of an integral type or may be of a split type.

[0009] One of the brackets is attached to a mounting portion for an overhead air conditioner for a rear seat already provided in the vehicle, and the other is mounted to a room lamp mounting portion on the upper ceiling of a driver's seat also existing in the vehicle. . Therefore, installation is a bridge between two points,
A console is obtained which is easy and stably holds relatively heavy equipment and articles.

[0010] The devices and article holders housed in the console are attached to the device bracket provided on the main body. The device bracket can obtain a stored state and an expanded state by allowing, for example, one end to be rotatable with respect to the main body.

[0011]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the entirety of the embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1 is a console body, and 1 is a console main body. 1a is a substantially box-shaped body provided in the center, and is also attached to the ceiling surface of the vehicle using a main body base and a mounting bracket described later. 2 is the main body base,
Reference numerals 3 and 4 denote brackets, and the console body 1
Is used to attach to the ceiling of the vehicle.

Reference numeral 5 denotes the device bracket. Longitudinal L
The device bracket 5 is a member of a mold, and is rotatable with a rotating shaft 5a at one end pivotally supported by an end of the main body base 2.
Then, devices and article holders to be installed and held on the console are attached.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a stay, which has a function of supporting the intermediate portion of the rotatable device bracket 5 to maintain the state of the device bracket. One end 6a is pivotally supported on the main body base 2; The other end 6 b is pivotally supported in the middle of the device bracket 5.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a lock lever which locks the device bracket 5 when the device bracket 5 is stored and holds the device in the stored state. When the device bracket 5 is pulled out, it is operated to release the locked state.

Next, a method of mounting the overhead console having such a configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the console main body 1 with the main body base 2 and the brackets 3 and 4 assembled from the back side, and as shown in FIG. After that, the bracket 3 is mounted on the surface of the main body base 2 using the screws 3b so that the front end is exposed from one end of the console main body 1. Similarly, the bracket 4 is mounted on the surface of the main body base 2 using the screws 4b so that the front end is exposed from the other end of the console main body 1.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the console main body 1 assembled with the main body base 2 and the brackets 3 and 4 as viewed from the front side. As described above, the device bracket 5 is rotatably supported by the pivot shaft 5a at one end pivotally supported by the end of the main body base 2. In the state shown in this figure, the device bracket 5 is in the housed state, and the L-shaped portion 5b opposite to the pivot side is
It is locked by the lock lever 7 and has entered the opening 1a of the console body 1.

The console body assembled as described above is
FIG. 4 shows a state of being attached to the interior of the vehicle. Reference numeral 10 denotes a ceiling portion of the cabin of the automobile, reference numeral 11 denotes a mounting portion of a rear seat overhead air conditioner already installed on the ceiling portion, and reference numeral 12 denotes a room lamp also installed on the ceiling portion. Mounting part 11 for overhead air conditioner for rear seat
The bracket 3 and the double plate portion 3a thereof are attached by using. Also, the mounting holes 4a of the bracket 4 are fastened together by using the mounting screw holes 12a of the room lamp 12. The bracket 3 assembled to the console body 1 in this manner,
The console body 1 can be attached to the ceiling 10 by using the console 4.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show the actual use state from different viewpoints. Reference numeral 20 denotes a television display, which is attached to the device bracket 5 by means such as a screw or a double-sided adhesive tape. Although FIGS. 5 and 6 are both illustrated as being in the non-storing state, in the storage state, the L-shaped portion 5b opposite to the pivot support side of the device bracket 5 is locked by the lock lever 7, and the storage state is maintained. By the operation of the lock lever 7, the lock is released by a mechanism not shown in detail, and the state shown in FIGS. The angle of rotation of the display 20 can be set by the stay 6, and the display surface can be arranged at an angle that is easily visible.
