Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to an ashtray for a vehicle.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of ashtray, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-16547, has an ashtray main body attached to a vehicle body stationary member so as to be openable and closable, and a structure in which this ashtray body and the vehicle body stationary member are connected. A moderation body is interposed in between, and the moderation body gives a sense of moderation to the opening/closing operation of the ashtray body.

As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional moderation body 4 is made by bending a thin band-shaped metal plate into an L shape, forming a fixed part 5 on one side and a sliding part 6 on the other side. The fixed part 5 is fixedly supported on the ashtray main body, and the sliding contact part 6 is brought into sliding contact with the vehicle body stationary member,
When the ashtray main body is opened and closed, the sliding contact portion 6 slides against the stationary member, thereby giving a sense of moderation to the ashtray main body.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when the moderation body 4 is formed using a band-shaped metal plate as described above, when the ashtray main body is opened to the vehicle body stationary member during smoking, the moderation body 4
The opening of the ashtray body 1 is closed, making it difficult for cigarette ashes or cigarette butts to fall into the ashtray body, and when extinguishing a cigarette, there is usually a hole formed inside the ashtray body. The lighting part of the cigarette is rubbed against the rubbing part, but the moderation body 4 gets in the way and makes it difficult to extinguish the cigarette.
When a cigarette is placed and held in the ashtray body, the cigarette cannot be locked, so the cigarette may fall into the passenger compartment.Furthermore, when the moderation body 4 is formed of the band-shaped metal plate, the weight This caused problems such as increased size and increased costs.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to easily extinguish a cigarette, to ensure that cigarette ashes and butts fall into the ashtray body, and to To provide a vehicular ashtray capable of securely retaining a cigarette when temporarily stopping smoking at a low manufacturing cost.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses an elastic wire rod to form the moderation body, and bends the wire rod to form the ashtray body. and a sliding contact portion extending from the securing portion and slidingly contacting the vehicle body stationary member to provide a sense of moderation in the opening/closing operation of the ashtray main body, and a cigarette can be fitted in the middle of the sliding contact portion. The fitting portion was formed to be bent.

(Function) When you temporarily stop smoking a cigarette, by locking the cigarette in the fitting part, the cigarette is held securely without causing the cigarette to fall, and the cigarette is not lit. When extinguishing the cigarette, the igniting part of the cigarette is inserted into the fitting part and moved to cut the igniting part to ensure extinguishment.Furthermore, since the moderating body is made of a wire, the cigarette ash, This ensures that the cigarette butts fall into the ashtray body through the moderation body.

(Example) The vehicle ashtray according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an ashtray main body, which is formed into a box shape with an open top. Support pins 2 protruding outward are provided on both sides of the side walls of the ashtray main body 1. It is attached to a stationary member, for example, a storage section 3a formed in an instrument panel 3 of a vehicle, so as to be openable and closable.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a moderation body, and the moderation body 4 is made of an elastic wire rod, and is bent to form a fixing portion 5 to the ashtray main body 1 on one side, and the instrument on the other side. Storage section 3 in the maintenance panel 3
A sliding contact portion 6 extending toward the upper wall 3b side of a and slidingly contacting the upper wall 3b is formed, and the sliding contact of the sliding contact portion 6 to the upper wall 3b gives a sense of moderation to the ashtray main body 1. It is.

The moderation body 4 uses one long wire, bends this wire in parallel from the middle part, further bends this parallel wire into an L shape in side view, and fixes the wire on the open end side. 5, and the distal end thereof is curved upward on the opposite side of the fixing part 5 to form the sliding contact part 6, and the sliding contact part 6 is connected to the upper wall of the storage part 3a of the instrument panel 3. 3b
The ashtray main body 1 is made to slide in sliding contact with the ashtray body 1 so as to give a sense of moderation in the opening and closing operation of the ashtray body 1, and at the same time, a fitting portion 7 for fitting and locking a cigarette to each wire rod is formed to be bent in the middle of the sliding contact portion 6. .

Further, inside the front wall of the ashtray main body 1, a bulge 1 is provided.
a is integrally formed, a mounting hole 1b into which the fixing part 5 of the moderation body 4 can be inserted and locked is formed in the bulging part 1a, and the fixing part 5 is inserted and locked into the mounting hole 1b. The moderation body 4 is fixedly supported by the ashtray main body 1.

The vehicle ashtray of the present invention is formed as described above, and when cigarette ashes and butts are dropped into the ashtray body 1 during smoking, the moderation body 4 is formed of a wire rod. The cigarette is dropped into the main body 1 not only from between the side wall of the main body 1 but also from between the wires of the moderating body 4, and when stopping smoking temporarily, the moderating body 4 is dropped into the main body 1. By doing so, the cigarettes will not fall into the ashtray body 1 and the cigarettes will be securely locked in the fitting part 7. can be,
Furthermore, when extinguishing a cigarette, the cigarette lighting part is cut by the fitting part 7 by inserting the cigarette's lighting part into the fitting part 7 and moving the cigarette back and forth or from side to side. , cigarettes can be extinguished easily.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, in the vehicle ashtray according to the invention, an elastic wire is used and the wire is bent to form the moderation body that gives a feeling of moderation when the ashtray body opens and closes. a fixing portion to the ashtray body; and a sliding contact portion extending from the fixing portion and slidingly contacting the vehicle body stationary member to give a sense of moderation to the ashtray body;
Since a fitting part into which a cigarette can fit is formed in the middle of this sliding part, when smoking a cigarette, the cigarette can be locked in the fitting part, thereby preventing the cigarette from falling. without feeling
The cigarette can be reliably held in the ashtray body, and when extinguishing the cigarette, the igniting part of the cigarette is inserted into the fitting part and moved, so that the fitting part can ignite the cigarette. The fire can be reliably extinguished by cutting, and since the moderation body is made of a wire, cigarette ashes and butts can not only be reliably dropped into the ashtray body through the moderation body, Furthermore, the weight of the moderation body can be reduced, and the production cost can be reduced.
