Description

Article storage apparatus

The present invention is provided in the interior of the console, seat, door, etc. of the article holding device, especially in the interior of the vehicle, small articles, beverage containers or mobile phones (hereinafter collectively referred to as "article") The present invention relates to an article receiving apparatus suitable for containing or maintaining the product.

Fig. 9 shows three examples of the conventional article receiving apparatus, particularly provided in the inner projecting portion of the door. The apparatus of (a) (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 62-33335) includes an accommodating portion 51 having a cross-sectional substantially L-shape with an upper side formed at an upper edge of the arm rest portion 50, and a accommodating portion. The cover 52 of the substantially inverse L-shaped cross section corresponding to 51 is comprised. The lid 52 is rotatably assembled to the interior lower edge of the accommodating part 51 through the axis 53, and is used when the container K or the like enters the accommodating part 51. With the point as a point, it is switched to the closed position which covered the accommodating part 51, and the open position which rotates to the room side and becomes a use state. Moreover, in the apparatus of (b) and (c), the accommodating parts 54 and 57 are formed in concave shape on the upper surface of the arm rest part 50, and the container K etc. are the accommodating parts 54 and 57. It is common in that it enters in concave shape from the upper side of the. In (b), the lid 55 is rotatably assembled to the edge of the upper opening of the accommodating part 54 through the axis 56, and the axis 56 is the point, and It is switched to the closed position blocking the upper opening and the open position rotated outward. In (c), the cover 58 is rotatably assembled to the edge of the upper opening of the accommodating part 54 through the axis 59 and the finger spring 60, and this axis 59 is made into the point, In the closed position which blocked the upper opening of the accommodating part 57, it rotates inward against the spring force of the finger spring 60, and is switched to an open position. And the accommodating parts 51, 54, 57 can be used as a storage part for articles other than a container.

The above conventional structure is both simple and simple in that the article can be moved in and out and the container K is held. The structure of Figs. 9 (b) and (c) is excellent in that the lids 55 and 58 do not protrude to the interior side as compared with Fig. 9 (a), and the structure of Fig. 9 (c) is opened as shown in (b). The cover 55 in position is excellent in that it does not interfere with taking the article or the container K out. However, in the conventional structure, the depth in the accommodating portion must be deepened to some extent in order to secure the article storage property, the container holding property, and the like. As the depth in the accommodating portion increases, for example, the accessibility of the article becomes poor or the opening / closing operation of the lid is performed. Also worsens. In addition, when the installation part of the accommodating parts 51, 54, 57 is the standing wall 61a of the inner side protruding part 61 of a door, as shown typically at 9 (c), an article or a container K When entering into and out of the accommodating part 57, there also exists a problem that it is easy to impair safety or an external appearance because it touches the standing wall 61a, becomes dirty, or protrudes large to the room side.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems. Specifically, it is possible to improve the accessibility and stability of the article, and at the same time, it is also excellent in the purpose of the general purpose, that is, the storage part for storing small items, or for holding for relatively long things such as PET bottles, As a result, product value is improved.

The flat wall 21 is formed in the state in which the front side was displaced slightly below the back side. Each cylindrical part 22 has a cylindrical shape, and the depth is set to about 5-8 cm. Between both cylindrical parts 22, it communicates through a notch part continuously. In the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion 22, there are formed three attachment grooves 24 extending downward from the flat wall 21, the attachment groove 24 or the attachment groove 24 and the cutout portion. It is possible to attach the above-mentioned optional products later, if necessary. Under the cylinder inside of each cylindrical part 22, the 1st and 2nd bottom receiving parts 25 and 26 are formed like FIG.4 (b). The 1st bottom part 25 is circular shape smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical part 22, and forms the lowest bottom of a cylinder, ie, the horizontal bottom face. The second bottom portion 26 is formed in a state inclined so as to be circular in the same shape as the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 22 and downward from the back side toward the front side. That is, the 2nd bottom part 26 is formed as an inclined cross section where the back side was high and the front side became low so that the front side might approach the 1st bottom part 25. On the outer surface of both side walls 23, two mounting holes and positioning ribs 27 are provided.

Both side plate portions 5 are symmetrical in shape and are long and narrow in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the front and lower sides thereof are curved, and the guide groove 6 is formed in the protruding edge portion 5a. It is integrally formed. As for the protruding edge part 5a, the point between the upper and lower sides protrudes to the frontmost side. The upper and lower dimensions of each side plate part 5 are set to the length formed successively below the corresponding part of the upper and lower half bodies 3 and 4 connected to the said upper and lower sides. On the outer surface of each side plate portion 5, the positioning holes 5b and through holes 5c corresponding to the positioning ribs and the attaching ribs of the upper half body 3 and the positioning of the lower half body 4 are provided. Positioning holes 5d and through holes 5e corresponding to the ribs 27 and the attachment holes are formed, and three attachment pieces 5f are formed. The guide groove 6 has a substantially c-shaped cross section, is curved along the protruding edge portion 5a, and the upper end side is extended to the rear side, and the upper groove end is closed by the restricting wall 6a. It extends to the rear side and the lower groove end is opened. In the guide groove 6, a little in front of the regulation wall 6a, the regulation convex part 6b is formed in the state which protruded in the groove.

(Assembly) Each of the above members, for example, the lower half body 4 with respect to the upper half body 3 to match the upper edge portion of the lower back portion 4a and the lower side portion 4b with the flange portion 3d. After making contact, each side plate part 5 is positioned and positioned through engagement of the above-described positioning ribs 27 and the positioning holes 5d and the like, and in this state, the screw 9b is screwed through each of the through holes. (5c, 5e) is inserted into the above-described mounting ribs or mounting holes. In the assembled state, the upper and lower halves 3 and 4 and the side plate portion 5 are continuous in shape, and the accommodating portion 2 which opens the upper side and the front side is formed. In this assembly, the shutter 10 is assembled.

The shutter 10 includes a main body 11 that is bent in the slide direction through the thin portion 12 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of projections 13 formed on both sides of the main body 11, and a projection ( The elastic part 15 and the arc part 16 formed in the front and back of 13), and the small convex part 17 formed in the cross section of the processus are formed integrally. The main body 11 is bendable through a plurality of thin portions 12 formed in the plate width direction, and as shown in Fig. 3 (a), the tubular portion 22 is substantially disposed above both side plate portions 5. It is a dimension of a covering length, and the board width is set slightly smaller than the dimension between both guide grooves 16. As shown in FIG. The main body 11 includes a handle portion 11a protruding at one end on the outer surface side from the front end side, and a reinforcing rib 11b protruding at a position corresponding to the projections 13 on both sides on the inner surface side thereof. The stopper 11c etc. which protrude one step on the opposite side to the handle part 11a are formed. The protrusions 13 are formed between the thin portions 12 on both sides of the main body 11, respectively. Each projection 13 has an approximately L shape connected to the inner surface of the main body 11, and is located below the main body 11 by an amount corresponding to the L-shaped vertical portion 15. The groove | channel 14 is formed in the L-shaped horizontal part 15b, and the front end side is the part which fits with the guide groove 6 more than this groove | channel 14. In this portion, the elastic portion 15 of the inner cavity is formed on the outer surface (upper surface in FIG. 6), the arc portion 16 is formed on the inner surface (lower surface in FIG. 6), and the small convex portion 17 is formed on the cross section. Formed. And each projection 13 fits in the U-shaped groove of the guide groove 16 through the semi-circular elastic part 15 and the circular arc part 16, and the small convex part 17 is the guide groove 6 It is made to contact the middle inner surface of the c-shape of). The projections 13 are formed at substantially the same interval except for the projections 13 on the left side in FIG. 5, but tongue-shaped mouth wall portions 18 are formed in place of the projections 13 at two places. In the mouth wall portion 18, attachment holes are formed. Reinforcing shafts 19 are attached to the mouth wall portions 18 on both sides. However, the wall part 18 and the shaft 19 may be abbreviate | omitted.

The above shutter 10, for example, arranges the tip side of the handle portion 11a side at the open lower groove end among the guide grooves 6 on both sides to correspond to the protrusion 13 on the tip side. After fitting in the guide groove (6), it slides from the lower side to the upper direction along the guide groove (6). In this slide, the stopper 11c touches the front side of the flat wall 21 (refer to FIG. 7) from below, so that one side of the side plate portion 5 is loosened with the screw 9b and the upper and lower half bodies 3, When it is set in the state separated slightly from the corresponding part of 4), the stopper 11c passes over the flat wall 21, and the shaft 10 can slide upwards along the guide groove 6 through the protrusion 1; Let's do it. Of course, this is an example, and in the production line, the shutter 10 is also mounted at the time of assembling the respective members.

(Use example and operation) In the above apparatus 1, the accommodating part 2 is opened and closed by the sliding operation of the shutter 10. As shown in FIG. The shutter 10 slides from the maximum open position (in the fully opened state) to the closed position of FIG. 3 (a) as shown in angle (a) of FIGS. 1, 2, and 7, and As shown in Fig. 7 (b), it can be held at an arbitrary position (arbitrary position) between the maximum open position and the closed position. That is, in the maximum opening position, the stopper 11c abuts against the flat wall 21 to regulate the downward movement of the shutter 10. In addition, the shutter 10 is in contact with the opposing surface of the c-shape at the elastic portion 15 and the arc portion 16 of each projection 23 with respect to the guide groove 6, and the small convex portion 17 is also in contact with each other. Since it is elastically in contact with the inner surface of the U-shape at, the slide smoothly in accordance with the bending action of the thin portion 12 or the deformation action of the elastic portion 15 even if the guide groove 6 is curved, and is subjected to vibration. Does not rattle In this case, when the user slides the handle 10a to an arbitrary position with the handle 11a, the elastic part 15 and the circular arc part 16 are c-shaped even when the user releases the handle 11a. Each of the opposing surfaces of the die is elastically contacted, and the elastic portion 15 is elastically held in the guide groove 6 because the elastic portion 15 is formed by internal cavity or internal cutoff so that the elastic displacement is abundant. When the shutter 10 slides upward from FIG. 7 (b), the corresponding protrusion 13 (the protrusion 13 on the tip side of the shutter 10) is the convex portion 6b of the guide groove 6. After passing through the elastic displacement, it touches and restrains the regulating wall 6a, and is maintained in the closed position in which the opening of the receiving portion 2 is completely closed. This holding force also acts on the elastic force of the elastic part 15 together with the regulating convex part 6b, so that the inadvertent downward movement of the shutter 10 is reliably prevented even under excessive vibration.

Therefore, in the apparatus of the form example, the following use forms can be implement | achieved. First, the storage unit 2 is a form of storing small items such as keys or cards. In this embodiment, the user can open and close the shutter 10 to easily enter and exit the container 2 in the horizontal or horizontal direction. In this case, it is also possible to put small objects into the cylindrical part 22 which forms the holding part 7, and to place a comparatively bulky article on the flat wall 21. Moreover, when the shutter 10 is set to the arbitrary position or the maximum opening position, and the cellular phone etc. are put in the cylindrical part 22, there is also the convenience which can be taken out conveniently at any time. Second, it is in the form of maintaining a variety of beverage containers in the cylindrical portion (22). In this embodiment, the paper cup K1 and the small cans K2 and the like are placed on the first bottom portion 25 as in the example of Fig. 7A, or the large cans K3 as in the example of Fig. 7B. ), A bottle K4, and the like are placed on the second bottom plate 26. In this case, the paper cup K1 or the cans K2 are held substantially vertical in the former, and in the latter, the cans K3 or the bottle K4 are kept inclined toward the front of the opening, i.e., in a state that is easy to be taken out of the user's position. . In addition, if the shutter 10 is slightly slid upward as shown in Fig. 7 (b), the lower periphery is supported only by the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion 22 in the long cans K3 and the bottle K4. Rather, the upper periphery is supported by the leading edge of the shutter 10 and maintained in a more stable state. Accessibility is easier and more convenient than the conventional apparatus in which the upper side of FIG. 9 was opened. Third, the above-described options such as ashtrays are attached later to the attachment groove 24 or the attachment groove 24 and the cutout to provide added value. The optional product is not limited to ashtrays, and may be a holder for articles such as a cellular phone, or a floor support member as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-237574.

(Modification) FIG. 8 shows an example in which the above apparatus 1 is modified. In the apparatus 1A of FIG. 8, the lower shape of the side plate portion 5A and the lower shape of the corresponding guide groove 6A are changed in contrast to the above-described embodiment, and the same is otherwise applied. For this reason, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member and site | part similar to the said aspect, and only a change point is demonstrated. That is, in this structure, the lower side of the side plate part 5A is formed smaller in width | variety than the said side plate part 5, and the lower side of the guide groove 6A is curved by the curvature closer to an arc. This is an example in which the lower side of the device 1A is made slim, and is changed in relation to the installation interior of the interior wall of the vehicle interior or the door where the device 1A is installed. In addition to the above, the present invention is, for example, according to the installation location, the overall size, the cost, and the like, for example, as the configuration of the accommodating portion 2, which is integrally formed by resin molding, or constituted by a back member and a side member, It can change suitably, such as changing a back shape.

As described above, the article holding apparatus of the present invention has good accessibility because the article can be made to enter and exit various articles and beverage containers in the horizontal or horizontal direction in the vertical arrangement type. Because it is largely exposed, even small keys can be stored. Furthermore, since the shutter slides along the guide groove, it has excellent stability and also has a function of supporting a bottle. As a result, the present invention can improve all of the safety, appearance characteristics, general purpose, and convenience of use, as compared with the conventional apparatus.
