Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automobile pen holding device installed in an automobile instrument panel.

When installing a pen holding device on the instrument panel of a car, providing an independent pen holder or pen holding device on the top of the instrument panel as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-144090 is not recommended when the car suddenly brakes, etc. This is extremely dangerous as there is a risk that the passenger may hit his or her head during the accident.

In addition, the pen holder 4 in the above-mentioned Utility Publication and the holder shown in Fig. 1120 on page 276 of ``Mechanical Equipment Design Handbook'' (written by Noboru Koma, published by Taiyo-kaku, 4th edition) may have a bottom. The design handbook No.
If the holding device is structured such that the plug shown in Fig. 1110 on page 275 only makes it easy to insert, but does not penetrate even if an excessively excessive pressing force is applied to the insertion side, it may cause problems during sudden braking as described above. It is extremely dangerous if the pen comes into contact with a passenger.

Furthermore, since the instrument panel of a car is constantly subjected to vibrations while driving, the pipe 57 is simply tapered like the pen holder 54 in the above-mentioned Utility Publication.
This alone does not hold the pen sufficiently, and there is a risk that the pen may fall off from the holding portion due to the vibration.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned points, and it ensures that the pen is held securely, prevents it from falling off due to vibrations of the automobile, and allows the passenger to immediately install the pen holding device as needed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pen holding device for an automobile that allows the pen to be removed from the vehicle and prevents the occupant from being injured by the pen in the event of sudden braking of the automobile. At least one hole is formed in the base that is attached to the instrument panel, a tapered cylindrical holding part is formed on the back side of the hole, and a plurality of slits are formed around the entire circumference of the holding part in the axial direction from the tip. There is an extended pen holding device in an automobile.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an automobile pen holding device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is an instrument panel of an automobile, and a hole 1a is provided on the surface facing the passenger.

2 is a pen holding device attached to the hole 1a,
A base 21 is attached to the edge of the hole 1a by adhesive or the like, and has two circular holes 21a in the center, and on the back side of the holes 21a, each has an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the normal pen 3 as it approaches the tip. It also consists of a tapered cylindrical holding part 22 which is integrally molded from plastic. The holding portion 22 has a plurality of slits 22a (22
a ₁ , 22a ₂ ...) are provided around the entire circumference of the holding portion 22.
It has a spring function.

The pen holding device of the present invention is constructed as described above, and when the pen 3 is inserted through the hole 21a of the holding device 2, the tip side of the holding portion 22 is elastically deformed and expanded, and the pen 3 is held in the holding portion 22. It can be held elastically near the tip. Therefore,
When the passenger removes the pen 3, the holding part 2
Since it is only necessary to pull it out against the elastic force of step 2, it can be removed immediately if necessary.

Furthermore, even if the driver comes into contact with the protruding pen 3 during sudden braking of a car, the pen 3 resists the frictional force acting between the pen 3 and the holding part 22, and the pen 3 moves into the hole 21a and the holding part 22. Since the passenger is buried in the portion 22, the passenger will not be injured.

Further, even when the occupant collides with the pen 3 from a direction other than the axial direction, the pen 3 rotates while partially deforming the holding portion 22, and the occupant is not affected.

As described above, the automobile pen holding device according to the present invention has at least one hole formed in the base portion attached to the instrument panel, a tapered cylindrical holding portion formed on the back side of the hole, and the holding portion Since a plurality of slits are provided around the entire circumference of the pen extending in the axial direction from the tip thereof, the holding portion can securely hold the pen due to the elastic force increased by the formation of the slits, and the pen can be held securely when the pen is being moved. The pen is prevented from falling off without causing rattling due to vibration.

Furthermore, the pen can be held in the holding part by the elastic force as described above, and when the pen is removed, it is only necessary to pull it out against the elastic force of the holding part. This has the effect of facilitating insertion and removal.

Furthermore, since the pen is held in the holding portion facing the passenger, the pen can be easily grasped by the passenger, and in combination with the above effect, there is an effect that the pen can be immediately removed and used as necessary.

Furthermore, since no independent pen holding device is provided on the upper surface of the instrument panel, it is safe because the occupant's head is prevented from coming into contact with the pen holding device when the vehicle suddenly brakes.

Furthermore, even if the passenger touches the rear end of the pen during sudden braking of a car, the pen will resist the frictional force acting between the hole in the base and the holder. Since the pen holder is buried within the pen holder or rotates as described above, a highly safe pen holder can be provided without injuring the occupant.

Furthermore, depending on the specifications of the car, it is sometimes necessary to attach a blind cover to the instrument panel, excluding switches and meters.
Since the pen holding device according to the present invention can be inexpensively molded from plastic, it can be provided in place of the blind lid.
