The ashtray 14 includes a lower tray member 20 and an upper frame member 22, both of which are made of resin material and are integrally connected by screws, adhesive, etc., and a well-known spring at the upper end opening of the frame member 22. It is formed from a lid 26 which is pivotally connected to the lid 26 by a pin 24 so as to be openable and closable. The lower dish member 20 is provided with an articulating protrusion 28 having a substantially cylindrical or spherical shape at its lower left end, and the protruding part is a complementary articular protrusion provided at the bottom of the storage recess 16 of the corresponding grip. Collaborate with Department 30. Furthermore, the lower dish member 20 is provided with a locking protrusion 32 on its right outer wall, and the upper end of the protrusion 32 is covered by a leaf spring 36 fitted in a mounting groove 34 to prevent wear. protected. On the other hand, the protrusion 32
A mounting groove 38 is provided in the storage recess 16 of the grip adjacent to the grip, and a locking member 40 consisting of a leaf spring whose upper end is fitted into the mounting groove 38 is inserted between the storage recess 16 and the lower dish member 20. It is loaded with bullets.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 on an enlarged scale, the lock member 40 has a main body rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and is bent so that its shape when viewed from the side is approximately S-shaped. Molded. That is, the locking member 40 includes a laterally extending portion 40a at the upper end that is fitted into the mounting groove 38, and a U-shaped opening 4 at the center.
2 and a vertical portion 40b having a tongue-like portion 44, and a lower end portion 40c extending laterally on the opposite side to the lateral portion 40a, the tongue-like portion 44 has a vertical portion 40b having a tongue-like portion 44, An aperture 46 is provided for engaging and locking a corresponding protrusion 36' of the attached leaf spring 36. 48 is the locking member 40
A hole through the grip wall in the lower part of the grip for inserting an unlocking tool, the tongue 44 forming an unlocking member cooperating with the unlocking tool as will be explained in more detail below.

In the above configuration, when attaching the ashtray 14 to the ashtray mounting portion 18 of the grip 10, first engage the articular protrusion 28 with the corresponding articular protrusion 30, and then move the upper right end portion of the ashtray 14 downward. The locking protrusion 32 on the ashtray 14 side is covered by the protrusion 36' of the spring 36 having a corresponding shape, and then the locking protrusion 32 on the ashtray 14 side is fitted into the opening 46 of the tongue-shaped part 44 and locked there. Therefore, the ashtray 14 cannot be removed by simply pulling it upward. Also, at this time, the lock member 4
0 lower end portion 40c is the bottom surface of the ashtray (lower tray member 2
The ashtray 14 is elastically deformed and interposed between the bottom surface of the storage recess 16 (the bottom surface of the ashtray 14) and the top surface of the opposing storage recess 16, thereby preventing the ashtray 14 from rattling. At the same time, the tongue or lower edge of the unlocking member 44 is displaced slightly to the right, as shown in FIG. Next, the ashtray 14 is used for cleaning etc.
To remove the lock, as shown in the partial view of FIG. Just push the part to the right. Then, the engagement hole 46 of the locking member 40 and the locking projection 32 of the ashtray (corresponding projection 36' of the leaf spring)
The ashtray can be easily removed by pulling out the right end of the ashtray upward in FIG. 2 and rotating its left end counterclockwise around the articular protrusion 30. I can do it. However, it is difficult for ordinary passengers to discover the existence of the small tool hole 48 that opens on the lower surface of the grip, which is difficult to see, and even if they know the existence of the tool hole 48, it is difficult for them to understand its function. Very few people know about it, and most people don't have the tools, so it's extremely safe from theft. Note that when the unlocking member 44, that is, the tongue-like portion is pushed up with the tool 50, the lower end portion 40c of the locking member 40 pushes up the bottom surface of the lower plate member 20, and the engagement light 46 and the locking protrusion 32 are pushed up.
