Further, on the upper portion of the rear surface of the shielding portion 26A of the shielding member 26, when the cup holder portion 13 is pushed back, a rear protruding ridge portion 26B large enough to escape to the mounting portion (recessed portion) of the holder plate 18 is provided. A curved surface 29 is formed on the left and right sides, and serves as a “rotation inducing means” that contacts the tip 20 of the holder plate 18 and guides the tip 20 downward. The upper end of the third side surface 27 of the shielding member 26 has an L-shaped cross section,
A is pushed rearward by a protrusion 21 formed at the upper end of the second side surface portion 14, and this portion becomes an “engaged portion” pressed by the protrusion 21 as an “engagement portion”. ing. Further, the third side surface portion 27 is a hook 1 of the first side surface portion 8.
It is supported from the inside at 2. It should be noted that the presence of the ridge 26B ensures the rigidity of the substantially flat shielding portion 26A in bending and twisting.

Next, the method of use will be described with reference to FIG. When the rear occupant uses the accessory holder / cup holder device of this embodiment, first, he or she puts his hand in the upper opening 23 of the cover 22 attached to the rear of the cup holder 13 and moves the cup holder 13 rearward. To draw out. The cup holder portion 13 is pulled out to a position where the protrusion 21 at the upper end of the second side surface portion 14 contacts the front end of the rail member 7. At this time, the protrusion 21 is positioned at the front end 2 of the third side surface 27 of the shielding member 26.
7A, the shielding member 26 is connected to the console box 1.
Slightly out of the rear surface 4. Therefore,
The shielding member 26 functions as a back wall of the cup holder 13 and the console box 1

The drawn cup holder 13 can hold two cups or the like. 3, as a cup or the like, an example of holding the Hosokan C ₁ and Futoshikan C _2.
For Hosokan C _1, the holder plate 18 becomes horizontal state, can be supported so as not falling sides of Hosokan C ₁ in its curved edge 18a. For Futoshikan C _2, the holder plate 18 can not be horizontal, at a slightly lowered obliquely state, supports the side surface of the Futoshikan C _2. If in the holder plate 18 of the oblique state to support the sides of Futoshikan C _2, since the biasing force of the holder plate 18 is applied against Futoshikan C _2, the support of Futoshikan C ₂ is more reliably.

When using the ashtray 24, the ashtray 24 may be pulled out from the lower opening 25 of the cover 22. This is convenient because the holding of the cup and the like and the use of the ashtray 24 can be performed at the same time. Naturally, only the ashtray 24 can be used alone without pulling out the cup holder 13.

Next, a case where the cup holder 13 is pushed back into the opening 6 of the console box 1 will be described. When the cup holder 13 is pushed back into the console box 1,
Due to the frictional force between the second side surface portion 14 and the third side surface portion 27, the shielding member 26 moves to the front side and comes into contact with the rear surface 2A of the storage portion 2. When the push-back is further continued, the front end 20 of the holder plate 18 is
And the synergistic action of the curved shape of the distal end 20 and the curved surface 29 urges the distal end 20 of the holder plate 18 to rotate downward, and the shielding member 26 and the rear surface portion 17 of the cup holder portion 13 remain intact. (See FIG. 2).

As described above, since the inner wall of the cup holder 13 is formed by the movable shielding member 26, even if the shielding member 26 interferes with the storage section 2 of the console box 1, the cup holder 13 is not moved. It can be pushed into the console box 1 as it is. Therefore, the space A behind the console box 1 can be reduced, and a large volume of the storage section 2 can be secured accordingly.

In use, a horizontal holder plate 1 is used.
8, when the cup holder portion 13 is pushed back into the console box 1, the holder plate 18 is securely folded downward, so that the space A behind the console box 1 is also reduced in this respect. Accordingly, a large volume of the storage section 2 can be secured.

Further, as shown in FIG.
Since the cup holder portion 13 and the shielding member 26 are supported by the first to third side surface portions 8, 14, and 27 which are slidably engaged with each other, the space B on the side of the console box 1 is also reduced. Thus, the capacity of the storage section 2 can be further increased.

In addition, with the cup holder 13 completely pushed back into the console box 1, the cover 22 behind the cup holder 13 and the rear surface 4 of the console box 1 are flush with the same continuous surface. It is also excellent in appearance.
