In this structure, since the convex portion 19 is an inclined surface 19a in which the amount of protrusion gradually increases toward the front side as shown in Fig. 2 (b), the convex portion 19 forms the convex portion 19. Along with the elastic displacement of the partition wall (upper wall 10), it climbs on the escape portion 43 of the gear 5. Further, the corresponding side surface of the convex portion 19 is guided to be positioned along the vertical piece 55a of the rib 55 and pressed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Then, when the escape part 53 of the gear 5 passes through the convex part 19, the convex part 19 engages with the engagement recess 54, and the tooth part of the gear 5 The engaging portion 54a, which has once formed the teeth adjacent to the engaging recess 54 in the 50 at a low level, engages with the heterogeneous teeth 14a, which are the engaging portions of the rack 14.

Each of the above engagements is accompanied by an assembly sound that 'clicks' when the partition wall portion is restored to its original state from the elastic displacement state. Therefore, the operator hears the above-mentioned assembly sound that the holder main body 2 is securely assembled to the case 1, and also visually checks the engagement state of the engaging portion 54a and the heterogeneous teeth 14a. You can check it.

In this structure, the gear 5 is engaged with the rack 14, and the convex portion 19 is engaged with the engagement recess 54, and the escape portion 53 and engagement with the engagement state. The horizontal piece 55b of the rib 55 which partitions the recessed part 54 hangs on the cross section of the convex part 19. As shown in FIG. As a result, in this structure, the engagement state between the gear 5 and the rack 14 is maintained, thereby reliably eliminating the fear that the gear 5 is unnecessarily removed from the rack 14.

(work)

The above container holder device 9 has the following advantages over the conventional one, as shown in Figs.

(1) FIGS. 1A and 7 show a storage position in which the holder main body 2 is pushed into the case 1. In this storing position, the holding means 6 has a gear 5 that rotates clockwise while engaging the rack 14 when the holder main body 1 is switched from the use position to the storing position. Gripping force proportional to the amount of rotation of is accumulated. The holder body 2 is a storage position stored in the case 1 through latch means (that is, engagement of the pin portion 7a of the pivot piece 7 and the heart-shaped cam groove 16) against the gripping force. Is kept on. In this storage state, the above-mentioned slide contact 44 is fitted into the parallel groove 58, and the projection 45 protruding upward on the rear side of the slide contact 44 is the front portion 20b. Abutting portion 29 formed on the inner surface of the abutment. Therefore, in this structure, at least the gear 5 and the arm 4 and at least in the storage position of the holder main body 1 and the unsupported position of the bottom support member 3, for example, when external vibration is applied during traveling. Unnecessary fluctuations between the bottom support members 3 can be almost eliminated, thereby improving the ease of use.

(2) When the holder main body 2 is switched to the use position, the decorative plate 27 of the holder main body 2 is pressed. In this manner, the holder main body 2 is released from the engagement of the pin portion 7a and the cam groove 16 and the gear 5 is engaged with the rack 14 by the holding force accumulated in the holding means 6. By rotating counterclockwise, it is switched to the use position of Fig. 1 (b). In this switching process, the gear 5 is rotated at a low speed by the rotary damper 8 so that rapid movement of the holder main body 2 is alleviated. In addition, the bottom support member 3 is supported by the slide contact 44 of the arm 4 and the cam body of the cam 56 of the gear 5 in the unsupported position up and down intersecting with the holder main body 2. Will be switched to position. In this use state, as shown in FIG. 6, the inclined piece on the left side where the slide contact 44 fits into the inclined groove 57 and partitions the inclined groove 57 from the lower side of the inclined groove 57. It is in pressure contact with 51b. Further, this push contact force is such that the gear 5 is fitted with the protruding portion 59 and one end surface of the fitting hole 25a in a state in which the fingering means 6 has accumulated the above initial fingering force. It originates in the structure which does not rotate in the direction which weakens the said initial fingering force through. Therefore, in this structure, at least the gear 5 and the arm 4 and the bottom at the use position of the holder main body 1 and the support position of the bottom support member 3, for example, when external vibration is applied during traveling. Unnecessary fluctuations can be almost eliminated between the surface support members 3, thereby improving the ease of use.

Of course, when the container C is inserted from the upper side to the lower side in the container insertion hole 21 of the holder main body 2 in the use state, the bottom surface of the container is placed on the bottom plate part 31 of the bottom support member 3, and is supported. At the same time, the circumference of the container is constrained between the side support part 32 and the sub holder 28 to be stably maintained.

(3) When switching the holder main body 2 back to a storage position, the decorative plate 27 of the holder main body 2 is pressed in the state of FIG. In this structure, in this structure, as shown in FIG. 2, the slide contact 44 is in the initial stage in which the holder body 2 is slightly pushed into the case 1 and switched from the use position to the storage position of FIG. 1 (a). Slides along the inclined groove 57 to the vicinity of the inlet of the parallel groove 58, and in conjunction with this, the bottom support member 3 passes through the arm 4, and the container insertion hole 21 of the holder main body 2 is formed. It is switched to an unsupported position that is stored in a substantially horizontal state within. The switching of the bottom support member 3 is carried out in conjunction with the operation in which the gear 5 is engaged with the rack 14 and rotates. Therefore, in this structure, the cam 56 and the slide contact 44 described above can be reliably and stably operated as switching means for switching the bottom support member 3 to the support position and the unsupported position.

In addition, embodiment mentioned above does not restrict this invention at all. The present invention can be deployed in various devices with reference to the above-described embodiments. As an example, in the above-described embodiment, an on-vehicle container holder device in which the device of the present invention is equipped with an instrument panel or the like is assumed.
