Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

This invention relates to an ashtray suitable for use in vehicles, particularly automobiles. Conventional ashtrays generally consist of two parts: an outer case and an inner case that fits into the outer case, and the latter is generally used by rotating or moving it in and out to open and close the ashtray. There are some known types of devices that can be opened or closed with a single push of the hand, and can be opened and closed with a blind touch, eliminating the need to constantly shift your line of sight to find the operating section. It is. This opening/closing mechanism is characterized by a locking mechanism that locks in the closed position, and the locking part is provided with a cam that switches between the forward and backward paths.
Each time you push it in, it changes from open (unlocked) to closed (locked) to open (
The process repeats when the lock is released (unlocked) and closed (locked). This locking mechanism is a push button. It is called the Shu mechanism. In addition, some of this type are equipped with a speed regulating member in the opening/closing mechanism in order to slow down the opening/closing movement, reduce the shock when opening, and prevent contents such as ash from scattering (Special Publications L. @ No. 58-10071). When the ashtray is mounted on a support member such as a console box, the mounting surface can be made almost at the same height as the outer surface of the support member, so that there are almost no irregularities. This is advantageous in terms of external design that integrates with the surroundings. By the way, with the rotary type using the button-button mechanism mentioned above, even if a speed regulating member is provided, the ashtray rotates when it is opened, so the contents move with each movement.
The ashtray is filled with ash. Therefore, unless the ashtray is opened while rotating very slowly, there is a risk that light ash will be thrown up and scattered around when the ashtray is opened. This tendency is particularly strong when the amount of contents is large. However, due to constraints such as operability, it is extremely difficult to adjust the opening speed to a level that is extremely slow enough to prevent ash from scattering. Therefore, as the first step (■), even if the ashtray is a blind-touch type using a button-butt mechanism, the ashtray should be opened without rotating and the contents should not be moved, so that when the ashtray is opened, the ash will It is necessary to prevent it from scattering. In addition, if a blind-touch type is used using the button-button mechanism, and the mounting surface of the ashtray is set at almost the same height as the outer surface of the support member, and the unevenness is integrated with the surroundings so that there are no irregularities, , while it is advantageous in terms of design,
Conversely, it becomes difficult to remove the ashtray without shocking the contents. In other words, the usual removal methods are:
First, the ashtray is opened using a push-button mechanism, and then the ashtray is taken out by holding the open end created by the opening.As ashtrays are normally attached and detached using a snap axigon, this operation applies a shock to the contents.
There is a risk of ash scattering. Therefore, the second problem with this format is that
It must be easy to remove without causing shock to the contents. . Ru. (1) The first problem mentioned above is solved by a vehicle ashtray consisting of the following parts (A), (C), (C) and (2). (a) The ashtray body is attached to the support body in a detachable and non-rotatable manner. The ashtray body shall have a lid that can be opened and closed, and the lid shall be always biased in the open direction by a spring. (c) It must have a locking mechanism to lock the lid in the closed position. (ii) The locking mechanism shall have a switching cam that repeatedly locks and unlocks by pressing the lid. (2) For the second problem above, use the following methods: mouth, ha,
This problem is solved by a vehicle ashtray consisting of two parts, one part, and one part. (a) The ashtray body is attached to the support body in a detachable and non-rotatable manner. The ashtray body shall have a lid that can be opened and closed, and the lid shall be always biased in the open direction by a spring. (c) It must have a locking mechanism to lock the lid in the closed position. (ii) The locking mechanism shall have a switching cam that repeatedly locks and unlocks by pressing the lid. (e) An engaging portion is provided on the support body and the ashtray body, so that the ashtray body can be engaged with the support body. A pushing means is provided on either the support or the ashtray body, and by operating the pushing means, the ashtray body can be disengaged from the support and the ashtray body can be pushed out of the support. 1-11-1 As shown in FIG. 1, when the lid 7 is pressed with a finger, the switching cam 31
The lock is released, and the spring 27 automatically rotates only the lid 7 in the direction of arrow A to the position shown by the two-dot chain line.
From this state, the ashtray 2 is in an open state. From this state, rotate the lid 7 in the closing direction (indicated by the arrow) and close the lid 7 to the ashtray main body 4.
When the lid 7 is pressed into contact with the switching cam 31, the lid 7 is locked and the ashtray 2 is closed. Therefore, by pressing the lid 7, only the lid 7 can be rotated in the opening or closing direction, and the ashtray 2 can be opened or closed. Next, in the second invention, the ashtray main body 4 is usually
As shown in the figure, it is engaged and fixed with the support body 3. Therefore, as shown in FIG. rises above the surface of the support 3. Then, the ashtray main body 4 is removed from the support 3 by holding the raised part, carried as is, and the lid 7 is opened in the above-described manner at an appropriate location to discard the contents. Embodiment (1) FIGS. 1 to 9 show a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, an ashtray 2 is attached upward to a console box l. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the ashtray 2
consists of a box-shaped support 3 and an ashtray main body 4, and the support 3 has a recess 115 opening at the top and a recess 7 formed at the upper edge of the recess 115.

The ashtray body 4 is fitted into the recess 5 of the support 3 and is detachably and non-rotatably fixed to the support. A lid 7 is attached to the upper edge of the ashtray body 4.
is installed so that it can be opened and closed freely. Further, a locking mechanism 8 and a speed regulating mechanism for controlling the opening/closing speed of the lid 7 are provided between the side portion of the ashtray main body 4 and the lid 7. The details of the equal volume portion of the support 3 will be explained with reference to FIG. The support side walls 3a, 3b of the support 3 are provided with openings 9a, 9b, respectively, near the bottom. A leaf spring 10 is attached to the support bottom 3c near the openings 9a and 9b.
．． 10 is fixed, and the leaf springs io, to are formed with bent portions 11.11 that bend inward and protrude. Further, a mounting leaf spring 12 is attached to the center of the support front wall 3d from the outside. The ashtray main body 4 has a mounting shaft 13 protruding from its side wall 4a,
Attachment hole 14, stopper 15 that regulates the upward movement position of the tip of switching cam 31 (described later), and stepped engagement portion 111
16 are provided. Furthermore, an engaging portion l1l17 (see FIG. 1.1.12) is similarly formed on the opposing side 1!4b. A flange is formed on the upper side of the ashtray main body 4, and an opening 18 is formed in the flange on the locking mechanism 8 side. In addition, there is a mounting part 19.1 on the upper part of the rear wall 4c side of the ashtray body.
9 is formed. Furthermore, a glass window 20 is provided in the center of the front wall 4d of the ashtray body. The lid 7 is provided with an arcuate protrusion 21 at one side end 7a that can enter and exit the opening 18. A rack 22 having a partial arc ↑ concentric with the protrusion 21 is formed on the inner side surface of the protrusion 21 . The rack 22 is adapted to mesh with a speed regulating mechanism which will be described later. Furthermore, an engaging portion 23 consisting of a pin that engages with and disengages from the switching cam 31 to lock or release the lid 7 is integrally formed at the tip of the protruding portion 21 to protrude. Further, the rear edge 7b of the lid 7 has its tip rolled back forward to form a rolled-up edge 24 (see FIG. 5), and mounting portions 25, 25 are formed on both sides thereof. Further, a beam 26 is vertically provided on the front portion 7c and both side edges 117a and 7d, and the ashtray body 4
This corresponds to the front and both side edges of the opening 4e. For the ashtray main body 4 and the lid 7, insert the tip of the protrusion 21 into the opening 18, align the mounting portions 19.19 and 25.25, and use the spring 27, the mounting shaft 28.29, etc. to keep the lid 7 open at all times. They are connected by being biased in the direction. The locking mechanism 8 includes an engaging portion 23 and a coil spring 30,
It consists of a switching cam 31, a bracket 32, etc. The coil spring 30 has one end 33 fixed in the mounting hole 14 and the other end 34
is fixed to the switching cam 31. The switching cam 31 and the bracket 32 each have mounting holes 35 and 36, and the mounting shaft 1
3 as a common mounting shaft, sequentially overlap the coil spring 300 circular cavity and mounting holes 35 and 36, and attach the mounting shaft 1.
3 is made to protrude outward from the mounting hole 36, and the mounting portions 37, 38 of the bracket 32 are aligned with the mounting holes 39, 40 previously formed in the side wall 4a of the ashtray body, and fixed with rivets or the like. . The speed regulating mechanism is attached near the locking mechanism 8 on the side wall 4a of the ashtray body. This speed regulating mechanism includes a gear 41 and a deceleration member 42 connected to the rotating shaft of the gear 41. Speed reduction member 42
contains an oily substance, and due to the viscous resistance of this substance, gear 4
1, and is known, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 12341/1983. However, the speed regulating mechanism is not limited to this embodiment, and may be constructed as appropriate using other suitable braking means, such as friction resistance by pressing a spring. Next, the switching cam 31 will be explained. Details of the switching cam 31 are shown in FIG. The switching cam 31 is an arm-shaped body having a mounting hole 35 at one end, and a protrusion 45 is formed on the upper side of the distal end of the arm 43 by a slope 44, and the protrusion 45 and the distal end 46 of the arm 43 The single-stage groove 47 with a stepped groove 47 formed therebetween has a stepped part 48 on the protrusion 45 side and a stepped part 49 formed by protruding the upper end of the tip 46 toward the protrusion 45 side. The lowermost end of the groove 47 is a stepped portion 50. Further, a cam groove 51 is formed on the side surface of the arm portion 43 from the lower part of the stepped portion 48 toward the upper portion of the arm portion 43 . This cam groove 51 corresponds to the locus of the engaging portion 23. The depth of the cam groove 51 is deepest at a lower end 52 of the cam groove continuous with the stepped groove 47, and shallowest at an upper end 53 of the cam groove at the upper edge of the arm 43. As shown in FIG. 8, the depth at the lower end 52 of the cam groove is such that when the engaging portion 23 comes over the step 50 located below in the stepped groove 47, it is accommodated in the cam groove 51. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the depth of the groove at the upper end portion 53 of the cam groove is shallower than the tip of the engaging portion 23, so that the engaging portion 23 is opened to the outside of the cam structure. It has become. Note that FIG. 5 shows a detailed cross-sectional structure of the ashtray 2. Here, the structure regarding the mounting plate spring 12 is shown in detail. The attachment plate spring 12 is for attaching the support body 3 to the console box l. A stepped portion 54 is provided in the center of the support front wall 3d, and the stepped portion 54 is provided inwardly.
4. A slit 55 is formed parallel to the top surface, and a stepped portion 54 is formed.
, insert the mounting plate spring 12 through the slit 55 from the outside.
is installed. The mounting leaf spring 12 is formed by bending the upper and lower parts into a substantially U-shape. The upper bent portion further has its tip bent upward to form a bent end portion 56, which serves as an engaging portion with the console box 1. When the tip of the attachment leaf spring 12 is press-fitted onto the step 54 through the slit 55, the claws will bite into the step 54 and will not come off easily, making it easy to attach. Further, a flat portion 57 is formed at the lower bent portion, and a claw is formed at the tip thereof. In addition, a mounting hole 58 is opened in the flat part 57,
Only cut edges are formed around it. A socket 60 of a light bulb 59 is fitted into the mounting hole 58 . In this case, since the periphery of the mounting hole 58 is made of a spring material, the socket 60 can be fitted without loosening. A glass window 20 is formed on the wall of the ashtray body 4 at a position corresponding to the light bulb 59. The light from the light bulb 59 passes through here and illuminates the inside of the ashtray body 4. Further, when the lid 7 is opened, the light passing through the glass window 20 is reflected on the back surface of the lid 7 and illuminates the opening of the ashtray body 4. Next, the opening/closing operation of the lid 7 will be explained. First, the closing operation of the lid 7 will be explained. From the open state shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 1,
When the front end of the lid '7 is pushed down in the direction of the arrow, the engaging part 23 simultaneously moves downward and comes into contact with the upper surface 43a of the arm part (FIG. 6A). In this state, the tip of the engaging part 23 touches the arm part. Top surface 4
It cannot enter the upper end 53 of the cam groove formed on the upper surface of the arm part 3a (see Fig. 7). Therefore, if the lid 7 is rotated further and the engaging part 23 is pushed down, it will slide on the upper surface 43a of the arm part. protrusion 4
It moves in five directions, resists the spring force of the coil spring 30, pushes down the tip of the arm 43, is guided by the slope 44, reaches the protrusion 45 (Fig. 6), and then pushes the lid 7 to engage. When @23 is pushed down, the engaging part 23 climbs over the protrusion 45, moves to the tip part 46 (see c), and then moves to the arm part 43.
As it is rotated clockwise by the coil spring 30, it falls into the stepped groove 47 and stops at the step 1s48 (same as 2).Since the rotational trajectories of the engaging portion 23 and the stepped portion 48 are different, the engagement 1s23 is The lid 7 remains closed as it is locked by the arm 1I43. This state is the closed state of the lid 7 shown by the solid line in FIG. Next, the operation for opening the lid 7 will be explained. The above locked state (6th
If the front end of the lid 7 is further pushed down from Fig. 2), the arm portion 43
rotates clockwise, the engaging portion 23 is connected to the mounting portion 2.
5 and stops when it comes into contact with the stepped portion 49 (see E). If you release your finger at that point and release the force applied to the lid 7, the tip of the arm portion 43 will be moved by the spring force of the coil spring 30 as shown in FIG. The engaging portion 23 rotates in the direction of the arrow, and the engaging portion 23 reaches the stepped portion 50 (towards the same), and then the cam groove lower end 5 that is continuous with the stepped groove 47
As shown in FIG. 8, the groove 2 is deeper than the engagement portion 23, so the engagement 523 enters into the cam groove 51 from the lower end 52 of the cam groove. Then, since the cam groove 51 has an arc shape that matches the locus of the engaging portion 23, the tip of the arm portion 43 rotates clockwise by the coil spring 30, and guides the engaging portion 23 toward the upper surface 43a of the arm portion. . At this time, since the groove of the cam groove 51 gradually becomes shallower, the engaging part 23 is pushed out in the direction out of the groove. The engagement llA23 reaches the cam groove upper end 53 (FIG. 9), and when further rotated, it finally reaches the arm upper surface 43.
It appears on a. Then, the coil spring 30 or arm portion 43
The arm part 43 is pushed back in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 9 by its own elasticity, and is restored from its deformed position. At this time, the engaging portion 23 no longer enters the upper end portion 53 of the cam groove (FIG. 7). This state is the open state of the lid 7, and the first
Corresponds to the imaginary line in the figure. At this time, the arm portion 43 has returned to the state shown in FIG. 6A, and its upward movement is restricted by the stop bar 15 on the slope 44. In addition, in a series of opening and closing movements, the speed of opening and closing of the lid 7 is controlled by a speed regulating mechanism. That is, as the lid 7 rotates, the protrusion 21 and the rack 22 integrated therewith rotate around the mounting shaft 28 as the rotation axis. At this time, the rack 22 meshes with the gear 41, and the gear 4
1 is decelerated by the deceleration member 42, so when the lid 7 is opened, the speed regulating mechanism consisting of the gear 41 and the deceleration member 42 prevents the lid from opening abruptly and can be opened quietly. Example (2) Figures 1θ to 12 show an example in which a push-out means is provided. In this embodiment, only the push-out means is provided on the support 3, and other ashtray bodies etc. are the same as in the embodiment ( It is the same as 1). Therefore, in this embodiment, explanation of the ashtray main body and the like will be omitted, and parts common to those of embodiment (1) will be described with the same reference numerals. The flange at the top of the support 3 has extrusion means 61
An opening 62 is provided for the purpose. In addition, the support body side wall 3a,
3b has openings 9a and 9, respectively, near the support bottom 30.
b is provided. A rotation bearing portion 63, 63 is provided at the connection portion of the opening 9b with the support bottom portion 3c.
3 has a curved portion that opens outward in the horizontal direction. A groove 64 is provided in the center of the support bottom 3c in the direction from the support side wall 3b to the support side wall 3a. A guide 65 and a partially thickened raised part 66 are provided at the edge of the support bottom 3c facing the groove 64, and the raised part 66 has a spring mounting hole 67 formed therein to support the groove 64. The side of the body side wall 3a has a widened groove 64a. A plate spring 1O having a bent portion 11 that bends inward and projects is fixed to the support bottom portion 3C near the opening 9a. Note that the support body 3 does not necessarily have to be a separate component, and a part of the support member, such as a console box, may be used directly. The push-out means 61 is a push-down rod 68. This is a link member consisting of an arm 69, a reversing spring 70, and the like. The push-down rod 68 is a rod-like member having a substantially inverted T-shape, and its upper end protrudes from the opening 62 to form an operating section 71. Stoppers 72 and 72 are provided on both sides slightly below the operating section 71. , the push-down rod 68 is regulated to prevent it from being pulled out more than necessary. A fitting shaft 73 with a circular cross section is provided on both sides of the lower end of the push-down rod 68.
It is formed with a protrusion. The "ani" 69 is an abbreviated bent member, and consists of an upright part 69a rising upward and a horizontal part 69b extending in a substantially horizontal direction.In addition, the part bent into an L shape has a fitting shaft 73. A bearing part 74 having a curved part with a curvature corresponding to the outer diameter of is formed so that a fitting shaft 73 can be rotatably fitted therein.A hook-shaped engagement step part 75 is provided at the tip of the upright part 69a. A bearing part 7 is formed in the horizontal part 69b.
Rotating shafts 76 and 76 protrude in both directions near 4, and a shaft 77 protruding laterally in the center of the arm 69 to guide the rotation of the arm 69 and also to prevent it from being pulled out, and a spring attached to the tip. A hole 78 and an operating portion 79 whose tip is bent laterally are formed. In addition, the engagement stepped portion 75 can be freely engaged with and disengaged from engagement protrusions 1B and 17 of the ashtray main body 4, which will be described later, together with the plate spring 10. The rotation shafts 76, 76 are fitted into the rotation bearing portion 63 and are rotationally supported. The shaft 77 moves up and down along the curved surface of the guide 65 to stabilize the rotation of the arm 69, and also serves to prevent the arm 69 from being pulled out. It is designed to be accommodated in Further, a reversing spring 70 is located near the spring mounting hole 67, and its both ends 80 and 81 are rotatably inserted into the spring mounting hole 78 and the spring mounting hole 67, respectively.
The arm 69 and the support bottom 3c are connected. This spring 70 is a so-called reversal spring that is displaced in accordance with the rotation of the arm 69 so that the direction of action of the spring force at the end portion 80 is reversed. That is, as shown by the vector Fl in FIG.
When the pushing means 61 is not activated, that is, when the acting portion 79 is not in contact with the bottom portion 4f, the acting portion 79 is urged in the clockwise direction in the figure, and when activated, the acting portion 79 is biased by the vector F in FIG.
As shown in 2, the action portion 79 is biased in the counterclockwise direction. Therefore, the acting portion 79 is always selectively biased to either the direction of pushing out the ashtray body 4 or the direction of non-contact with the ashtray body 4 . Further, when it is desired that the ashtray main body 4 protrudes largely from the support 3, a spring with a large amount of expansion and contraction may be compressed and fixed between the support 3 and the bottom of the ashtray main body 4, in addition to the reversing spring 70. This allows the ashtray body 4 to protrude largely from the support 3 as the spring is released from its compressed state at the same time as the action portion 79 is pushed out. The extrusion means of this embodiment can be assembled extremely easily from each component. In other words, first push down lever 68
is attached to the side wall of the support body, and the operation part 71 is inserted from below the opening 62 to project upward. Next, the horizontal part 70b of the arm 69 is fitted into the groove 64, and the spring 71 is inserted into the mounting holes 78 and 67. The link of the extrusion means can be constructed simply by inserting and connecting both ends 80, 81 of the two ends, fitting the fitting shaft 73 into the bearing part 74, and simultaneously fitting the rotating shaft 76, 76 into the rotating bearing part 63. Note that the extrusion means is not limited to this example, and may be of a pulling type instead of a pushing type.The link structure can also be modified in various ways. It may be molded more integrally.
Furthermore, it may be provided not on the support body 3 but on the bottom side of the ashtray body. Next, the pushing operation of the ashtray main body 4 will be explained. Normally, the ashtray main body 4 is pushed into the recess 5, as shown in FIG. Due to the elastic deformation of and the rotation of the arm 69, it is engaged with the bending fill of the leaf spring lO and the engagement step portion 75 of the arm 69, and is fixed. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The fitting shaft 73 pushes down the bearing part 74. Then, the arm 69 rotates in the counterclockwise direction (arrow 2) in the figure with the rotation axis 76 as the center of rotation, so the engagement step portion 75 is rotated by the engagement protrusion @
17 (arrow H). At the same time, the reversing spring 70 is also rotated, and the urging direction of the end 1I80 is the direction indicated by the vector F2, that is, the acting portion 79
turns the bottom 4f of the ashtray main body 4 in a direction that pushes it up. As a result, the ashtray main body 4 is pushed out from the support body 3 by the action portion 79. At this time, since the engagement step 75 is disengaged from the engagement protrusion 17, the engagement protrusion 17 side is first lifted up, then the engagement protrusion 16 is disengaged from the bent portion 11 of the leaf spring 10, and the ashtray main body 4 is Figure° is pushed upwards (in the direction of the arrow), causing the top to rise. If the upper part of the ashtray main body 4 that has been lifted up is lifted, the ashtray main body 4 can be easily pulled out from the support body 3. Note that since the reversing spring 70 is used, once the operation part 71 is pushed down, the reversing spring 70 is displaced together with the arm 69, and the arm 69 remains biased to rotate counterclockwise in the figure. . Therefore, even if the user releases the operation fi71, the operation section 71 does not return to its original position and remains pushed in. At the same time, the action part 79 remains pushing up the bottom part 4f, and this state is maintained, so that the operator can take his hand off the operating part 71 and the operation to take out the ashtray main body 4 is facilitated. Conversely, in the state shown in Figure 12,
When the ashtray main body 4 is pushed into the support body 3, the bottom part 4f rotates the action part 79 clockwise, the arm 69 rotates, and -
At the same time, the reversing spring 70 is displaced to reverse the biasing direction and continue to bias the acting portion 79 clockwise. As a result, the acting portion 79 remains displaced to a position out of contact with the section 4f. At the same time, the leaf spring 10 deforms and the bent portion 1
1 and the engagement protrusion 16 engage with each other, and further, as the arm 69 rotates, the engagement step 75 engages with the engagement protrusion 17, so that the ashtray main body 4 can be fixed to the support bottom 3C. At the same time, the push-down rod 68 is pushed up, and the tip of the operating portion 71 can be reliably projected from the opening 62 every time, making it convenient for the next operation. In particular, in the case of a blind-touch configuration using a button-button mechanism as in this embodiment, when the ashtray is attached to a support member such as a console box, the mounting surface is approximately at a height from the outer surface of the support member. Generally, the aim is to achieve a design effect by integrating the pieces with almost no unevenness, and as a result, it tends to be very difficult to take out. However, if the extrusion method of this embodiment is used, Therefore, the unpleasant contact feeling caused by unevenness can be eliminated, and the interior design effect can be enhanced, which is advantageous in terms of exterior design. According to the present invention, when opening and closing the ashtray, only the lid rotates using a blind-touch button mechanism, so operability is very good.Moreover, the ashtray body itself does not move at all, so the contents do not move either. Even if you open the ashtray, there is no risk of the contents such as ash scattering, so you can always use the ashtray comfortably and cleanly. In addition, in the second invention provided with the push-out mechanism, the ashtray main body, which is normally engaged and fixed to the support body, can be moved by the push-out means by simply pushing, for example, the operation part in a push button type.
By releasing the engagement, the ashtray body can be pushed out from the support and easily released. Therefore, it is easy to take out the ashtray body, and there is no shock to the contents, which is the case when taking out the ashtray by holding the open lid, which is the case with conventional methods. ,
The risk of the contents scattering and contaminating the surrounding area during operation can be more completely eliminated than in the first invention. In particular, even if something easily scatters, such as ash, it will not stain the interior or the clothes of the passengers. 4.
