Stem (Qihong 5 2): As shown in any of Figure 7, it is fastened and fixed to either the cup holder body 30 or the tray 40 to hold the pusher smoothly. For the body, as shown in FIG. 7, the cylinder 52 is not limited to the cup holder body. Although the cylinder 52 and the cup holder body 30 are formed into a body, it is not limited to Therefore, it is necessary to form the separate body from the cup holder body 30.

1232817 V. Description of the invention (9) Although the cylinder 5 2 is fixed on the cup holder body 30 side, it is not limited to this, and may be fixed on the tray 40. (Spring mechanism 5 3): As shown in FIG. 7, the β spring mechanism 5 3 is connected to the cylinder 5 2 and the push rod 5 1 to compress, and is used to make the tray 40 rise. Forging 1 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the elastic mechanism 53 is used—yin, but it is not limited. Have to use shrapnel, clockwork, etc. 1-stroke (0-ring 5 4) The 0-ring 54 is fitted on the upper end as shown in Figures 5 to 7). Dry (locking device 60): The locking device 60 is locked in the lowered position and at least two of the ascending positions of the anti-spring mechanism to set the front end of the tray 40, which is specifically: specifically, the locking device 6Q is as follows: Figures 5 to 7 are provided with the following claws 80, ⑴lock grooves 90, 91 (4 汴 (as described in ^) The members of the lock device 60 are not limited to the above-mentioned ⑴ to (4 and (1) button 70, ( 2) Locking mechanism 100. The position button 70 is used to unlock the locking device 60. The button 70 is supported on the cylinder 52 as shown in Figures 5 to 7 in a forgiveness manner. Locking claw 80) The locking claw 80 is shown in Figs. 5 to 7 which slides the two slats of the lowering device 50 horizontally 1232817 V. Description of the invention (10) Assembles on the button 70 freely. Specific As shown in Figs. 5 to 7, it is connected between the locking claw 80 and the button 70, and has the following components: (1) The long hole 7 1 The long hole 7 1 is arranged in an inclined shape as shown in Fig. 6 To the button 70. (2) The latch 81 The latch 81 is projected by the locking claw 80 as shown in Figs. 5 to 7, and moves relatively along the long hole 71. In the state where the button 70 is projected upward, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figures 5 and 7, the locking claw 80 protrudes laterally by the spring pressure of the position mechanism 100. In this situation, it can resist the spring pressure of the reset mechanism 100, and when the button 70 is pressed, the latch 8 can be made 1 (not shown) relatively move along the long hole 7 1 to retract the button 70. (Locking grooves 9 0, 9 1): Locking grooves 9 0, 9 1 are embedded as shown in Figures 5 and 7 The locking claws 8 0 can be divided into the following two categories: The locking grooves 90 and 91 are not limited to the following two, and may be set to three at the intermediate position. (1) Lowering position locking groove 9 0 lowering position The locking groove 90 is provided below the cup holder body 30 as shown in FIG. 5 and can be fitted with the locking claw 80 in the lowered position of the tray 40. (2) Raised position locking groove 9 1 Raised position locking groove 9 1 series is installed in the cup holder as shown in Figure 7

313523.ptd Page 14 1232817 V. Description of the invention (11) Above the body 30, the locking claw 80 can be inserted in the raised position of the tray 40. (Reset mechanism 1 0 0): As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the reset mechanism 1 0 is located at the locking device 60, that is, the position between the cylinder 5 2 and the button 70, and locks the groove 9 0 to the lowered position. And the locking groove 91 in the raised position protrudes the locking claw 80, and at the same time, the button 70 can be reset. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the reset mechanism 100 uses a spring, but is not limited to this. A spring, a spring, or a resin spring formed integrally with the button 70 can be used. As the spring of the reset mechanism 100, it is compressed between the cylinder 52 and the button 70, and the locking claw 80 is usually protruded laterally to make the button 70 rise. (How to use) The following describes how to use the cup holder 10 with the above structure. First, at the lowering position of the tray 40 (refer to Figure 3), cups, cans, and vials with a high height can be maintained. Category, carton packaging category, etc. To insert lower height cups, cans, vials, carton packs, press the button 70. When the button 70 is pressed, the locked state of the lock device 60 is released. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, the tray 40 is raised by resisting the restoring force of the elastic mechanism 5 3. At this time, as shown in Fig. 7, the locking claw 80 is fitted into the locking groove 91 in the raised position, so that the tray 40 can be locked in the raised position.

313523.ptd Page 15 1232817 V. Description of the invention (12) When the tray 40 is locked in the raised position, the bottoms of the cups, cans, vials, cartons and packaging are placed on the raised bottom 4 1 ( (See Figure 1). When the tray 40 is lowered, after pressing the button 70, the lifting device 50 can be pushed up against the restoring force of the elastic pressing mechanism 53. When the lifting device 50 is pushed up, that is, as shown in Fig. 5, the locking claw 80 can be fitted in the lowering position locking groove 90 to lock the tray 40 in the lowering position. [Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the following effects are achieved (item 1) The invention having the first aspect of the patent application has the following effects. That is, as in the case of applying for the invention in the first scope of the patent, the tray can be locked in two positions. (No. 2) The invention of the second scope of the patent application is the one in which the effect of the invention of the first scope of the patent application increases the following effects. That is, as with the invention in the second scope of the patent application, a locking device with a simple structure can be provided. Item 3 of the patent) The invention of item 3 of the scope of patent application is the one in which the effects of the invention of item 1 or 2 of the above scope of patent application increase the following effects. That is, if the invention in the third scope of the patent application is applied, the number of components can be reduced.
