Description

Cup Holder for Cars {Cup holder for an automobile}

The present invention relates to a cup holder for a vehicle for holding a beverage container (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "cups"), such as cans, cups, cartons, etc. containing the beverages fall.

The cup holder for a vehicle is provided with the cup holder of various structures, but the luxury cup etc. are employ | adopted the folding type or the extraction type which emphasized the appearance and space. This invention aims at the thing of the pull out type illustrated by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 9-48273, 8-192669, etc.

10 (a) and 10 (b) show the cup holder of JP-A-8-192669 in a stored state and a used state. The cup holder has a case 50 having an opening 50a formed on its front surface, a storage state of FIG. 10 (a) put into the case 50 and a drawing of FIG. 10 (b) drawn out of the case 50. The holder 510 which is switched to the use state and the tray 52 which supports the lower surface of the cups k are provided. The case 50 is a container which puts the holder 51 in the inside, for example, the in-room interior. The holder 51 has an operation portion 51a formed on the front surface thereof, and the holder 51 forms a holding hole 51b into which the cups k are inserted and restrain the periphery of the inserted cups. The tray 52 has its rear end side pivotally rotatable to the holder 51 and is interlocked with the holder 51 to be stored in the case 50, and the holder 51 has the rear end side as a point in use. The lower surface of the cups k, which are received at the holder and inserted into the holding holes 51b, is supported by the holder 51. When inserted into the hole 51b from the upper side, the lower surface of the cups is supported by the mounting portion 52a of the tray 52 which is lowered to the lower side of the holder 51, and the upper portion is supported by the inner circumferential surface of the retaining hole 51b. Therefore, the cups k are held once as long as the cups k are smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the retaining hole 51b and are of a size supported by the mounting portion 52a of the tray 52.

In the above-mentioned conventional cup holder, since the cups k are supported by the mounting part 52a of the tray 52 carried by the holder 51, in order to support the cups k more stably than a wire rod, It is preferable to secure a large width | variety L0 of the mounting part 52a as it is better to use. From such a viewpoint, conventionally, the tray 52 is comprised from a board | plate material, and the mounting part 52a is formed in the front end side of the support arm part 52b. Then, by forming a large opening or notch 52c in the support arm 52b, a stable lap value for the cups k placed on the mounting portion 52a is ensured.

However, in the conventional cup holder, since the tray 52 is interlocked with the holder 51 and is inserted into the case 50 or withdrawn from the case 50, the tray 51 is received by the holder 51. It is comprised so that 52a may be accommodated in the holder 51 with a space, and the whole mounting part 52a may be accommodated in the case 50. As shown in FIG. Therefore, in the conventional structure, since the height of the case 50 must be secured in proportion to the width of the plate of the mounting portion 52, it is difficult to achieve compactness. In addition, since the tray 52 is straightly held by the holder 51, for example, it is impossible to store the placement unit 52 in the outer side of the case 50 or in the operation unit 51a in a stored state. It lacks design freedom.

The present invention solves the above problem. The object is to provide a cup holder for a vehicle, which can suppress the thickness of the whole, maintain the large and small cups more stably, and have excellent compaction and design freedom. Other objects will be apparent with the following description.

The independent movement of the holder 2 corresponds to the length of the clearance groove 28 and is performed while the clearance groove 28 moves while the shaft portion 48 of the tray 4 is fixed. In the use state, the shaft portion 48 is fitted to the rear end of the clearance groove 28, and the tray 4 is received from the holder 4 through the connection portion of the stopper 6 to hold the holder hole H of the holder 2. Support cups inserted in). In addition, the tray 4 is regulated so as not to be inadvertently moved forward by the engaging state of the stopper 6. In addition, when press-fitted to the storage state, the holder 2 is moved to the rear alone while the clearance groove 28 is moved while the shaft portion 48 is fixed at an initial stage, and the front end of the clearance groove 28 is moved to the shaft portion ( It is press-fitted with the tray 4 from the time of fitting with 48). In this case, the tray 4 enters the case 1 together with the holder 2, but the relative position with the holder 2 in the use state is changed by the movement of the holder 2 alone. That is, the operation unit 20 of the holder 2 is close to the mounting unit 41 to allow the mounting unit 41 to be housed in the housing unit 22b of the holder operating unit 20. Therefore, in the above structure, the tray 4 is moved relative to the holder 2 by the dimension L of the clearance groove 28, whereby the housing portion of the front end operation portion 20 of the holder 2 in the storage state ( 22b), it is possible to store the whole (some may be) of the mounting portion 41. This is a mounting part of the tray 4 in the storage state while maintaining the holding action of the tray 4 (positional relationship with the holding hole H in the use state, downward distance from the holder 2, etc.) normally. It is possible to arrange the (41) outside the case (1), so that the mounting portion (41) is widely secured without increasing the height of the case as in the prior art, or less restricted in the relative position with the case (1) side, etc. It means to receive.

As described above, in the vehicle cup holder of the present invention, since the tray is moved relative to the holder by the size of the clearance groove, the whole or part of the mounting portion is accommodated in the storage portion of the tip operation portion of the holder in the storage state. It is possible to place the mounting portion of the tray out of the case while maintaining the tray holding operation normally. As a result, the mounting portion of the tray can be secured wide or the length, etc., will be less restricted without increasing the height of the case as in the prior art. Therefore, this invention can widen the mounting part of a tray, even if it does not increase the height of a case, and can maintain cups in a more accurate and stable state.
