Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an accessory holder formed in a vehicle instrument panel.

Generally, a small object tray for placing maps and other small items is formed on the top surface of a vehicle's instrument panel. Are known. The accessory receiver 2 is integrally molded with the instrument panel 1 made of resin, is recessed in the upper surface of the instrument panel 1, and is formed by surrounding a bottom surface 2a having a substantially rectangular plane. (For example, the inner surface 2b
(See Publication No. 55-138136).

However, in such a conventional accessory holder 2, a storage section 6 for storing a glove box 5 is formed inside the instrument panel 1, and a defroster duct 3 and a ventilator duct 4 for air conditioning are arranged. Therefore, it is necessary to secure a storage space for them, and as a result, the bottom surface 2a of the accessory holder 2 cannot be formed deeply in the instrument panel 1. Therefore, the small item tray 2 is necessarily shallow, and when a map or small items are placed on it, if acceleration is applied to the vehicle such as when starting or cornering, the map or small items may Since there is a risk that the driver may fly out from the front edge 7 of the receiver 2, the driver's attention will be distracted, which is not desirable from a safety standpoint. As a solution to this problem, for example, the peripheral edge of the small article receiver 2 may be formed to protrude higher than the conventional one, so that the depth of the small article receiver 2 is ensured to be large. However, this method increases the molding cost of the instrument panel 1 and has problems such as detracting from the appearance of the vehicle interior.Furthermore, even when no small items are placed, the peripheral protrusions make it difficult for occupants to constantly I had a problem with narrowing my field of vision.

This invention was created by focusing on the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to prevent small objects from falling by rotating along the passenger side edge of the small object receiving section on which small objects are placed. The purpose of the present invention is to prevent small items from falling when the vehicle accelerates, etc., and to ensure safety during driving by arranging a member and erecting the fall prevention member as necessary.

The gist of the present invention is to provide a recessed receiving part on the upper surface of the instrument panel, arrange a fall prevention member along the passenger side edge of this receiving part, and attach this fall prevention member to the instrument panel. An accessory for a vehicle that is rotatably supported so as to be able to stand up freely, has a holding means for holding the fall prevention member in an upright position, and has its upper end protruding from the top surface of the instrument panel when the fall prevention member is erected. It's in the reception.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the accessory holder 2 according to this embodiment includes a receiving portion 9 recessed in a substantially rectangular shape on the upper surface of an instrument panel 1 made of resin; It is composed of a long resin fall prevention plate 8 disposed along the front edge 7.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fall prevention plate 8 has cylindrical rotation shafts 10a and 10b protruding from the lower end sides of both ends 8a and 8b, respectively, and this rotation shaft 10a , 10b, the receiving part 9
Support holes 15a and 15b are drilled below the left and right side surfaces 17 and 18 of the , and near the front side surface 19.
By inserting them into the respective parts, they are rotatably supported and can be erected. Further, the accessory receiver 2 includes the following holding means for holding the fall prevention plate 8 in the upright position. That is, in one side end 8a of the drop prevention plate 8, a pin hole 12 is recessed in the longitudinal direction slightly above the protrusion of the rotation shaft 10a, and the pin hole 12 is recessed into the spring 13 and the spring. A stopper pin 14 is inserted which is biased outwardly by 13. An engagement hole 16 is formed in one side surface 17 of the receiving part 9 above the support hole 15a, and the fall prevention plate 8 can be rotated to stand up approximately vertically as shown in FIG. When the stopper pin 14 is pushed by the spring 13 and engages with the engagement hole 16, the drop prevention plate 8
is held in place.

In addition, if the fall prevention plate 8 is pushed toward the receiving part 9 side,
Since the stopper pin 14 is pushed back while slidingly contacting the surface of the engagement hole 16, its engagement is released and the fall prevention plate 8 can be tilted toward the receiving portion 9 side. Furthermore, a protrusion 11 is formed at the upper end of the fall prevention plate 8 along the longitudinal direction toward the receiving part 9, and the tip of this protrusion 11 is connected to the bottom surface of the receiving part 9 when the fall prevention plate 8 is folded down. 9a.
Furthermore, the height dimension L of the fall prevention plate 8 is formed larger than the depth dimension H of the receiving part 9, so that when the fall prevention plate 8 is erected, the instrument panel 1
It is designed to protrude from the top surface of the.

Therefore, according to the small article receiver 2 according to this embodiment, the fall prevention plate 8, which is rotatable along the front edge 7 of the receiver 9 about the rotation axes 10a and 10b, can be tilted down as necessary. or stand up.
When the vehicle is standing up, the stopper pin 14 engages with the engagement hole 16 and the fall prevention plate can be fixed in a state protruding from the upper surface of the instrument panel 1. Therefore, when the vehicle is started or cornering, etc. In cases where acceleration is added,
Even if a small item placed on the receiving part 9 moves toward the passenger side and tries to fall, it hits the fall prevention plate 8 and becomes difficult to fall. At this time, since a protrusion 11 is formed on the upper end of the fall prevention plate 8 along the longitudinal direction on the side of the receiving part 9, even if a small object tries to jump over the fall prevention plate 8, it will hit this and further It's becoming harder to fall.

On the other hand, when small items etc. are not placed on the receiving part 9, the fall prevention plate 8 can be folded down, thereby further ensuring the driver's field of view. In addition, at this time, the protruding part 11 formed at the upper end of the fall prevention plate 8 comes into contact with the bottom surface 9a of the receiving part 9, so if paper such as a map or pass ticket is sandwiched between these parts, it will be protected by the wind. It also prevents things like being blown away.

In the above embodiment, the engagement holes 16 are arranged so that the fall prevention plate 8 is set at a substantially right-angled position.
However, as shown in Fig. 8, the stopper pin 1
A plurality of engagement holes 16 may be provided along the locus 4, and in this case, the opening degree of the fall prevention plate 8 can be changed in stages. As a result, when a small item smaller than the height dimension L of the fall prevention plate 8 is placed, the angle of upright inclination of the fall prevention plate 8 is changed according to the size of the small item to more or less secure the visibility. In addition, small items can be sandwiched between the fall prevention plate 8 and the bottom surface 9a of the receiving portion 9, thereby further preventing small items from falling.

Further, in the above embodiment, a spring may be interposed between the fall prevention plate 8 and the receiving part 9 to constantly bias the receiving part 9 side. In this case, small items etc. It can be held between the part 9 and the part 9 by a spring force, making it possible to more reliably prevent small items from falling.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the support holes 15 of the receiving portion 9 of the rotation shafts 10a and 10b of the fall prevention plate 8 are
a, 15b, respectively, to make the fall prevention plate 8 rotatable, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the hinge member is inserted between the fall prevention plate 8 and the receiving part 9. It may be arranged between the fall prevention plates 8 to be rotatable, or any other support mechanism that allows the fall prevention plate 8 to rotate may be used.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a resin plate-like member formed into a predetermined shape was explained as a fall prevention member, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the fall prevention member has a fall prevention function. Of course, any material and shape may be used.

As explained above, according to the small article tray of the present invention, the fall prevention member is rotatably disposed along the passenger side edge of the small article tray on which small articles are placed, and the above-mentioned Since the fall prevention member is made to be able to stand up, it can reliably prevent small items from falling when the vehicle accelerates, and the driver can maintain safety while driving without being distracted by this.
As with the conventional method, it has never been said that it spoils the appearance.
Furthermore, since it can be applied to conventional accessory holders, the manufacturing cost will not be high.
