Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This patent application is a reissue application of U.S. Pat. No. 7,594,686, issued Sep. 29, 2009, from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/842,217, filed on Aug. 21, 2007.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an automotive door trim map pocket that has a hidden umbrella holder.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
U.S. Pat. No. 4,807,920 (Fujiki et al.) discloses a passenger automotive vehicle with an umbrella holder that is positioned within inner and outer panels of a rear fender of the vehicle in a chamber that requires a biasing spring or other biasing means to bias the umbrella outwardly from the compartment in which it is stored. The door of the vehicle must be opened before the umbrella can be released, and the requirement for a separate compartment and a spring to outwardly bias the umbrella from the compartment adds to the complexity of the invention and its cost.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,880,874 B1 (Kallenberger et al.) discloses a storage receptacle for use in storing small items, such as eyeglasses, in a map pocket of an automotive door lining. This reference does not disclose or teach that the patented construction can be used to store larger items, such as umbrellas.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, appropriate hidden storage for an umbrella is provided in a map pocket that is positioned on an inside of the trim member of an automotive vehicle, the umbrella holder being integrated with the map pocket. The umbrella is readily accessible to an occupant seated next to the door, the driver in the case of a combined map pocket and umbrella holder positioned at the driver's side door, and suitable umbrella storage is provided without any additional elements or assembly operations.
For a further understanding of the present invention, attention is directed to the drawing and the following brief description thereof, to the detailed description of the invention and to the appended claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of automotive vehicle door trim member with a combined map pocket and umbrella holder according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on section line 2-2 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of FIG. 1.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An inside surface of an automotive door trim member is indicated by reference numeral 10 has an inside surface 11. A map-receiving pocket member 12 includes an open top 17 and is defined in the door trim member 10 by an inner member 14 and a back trim member 16. The door trim member 10 includes the inside surface 11 and an outer surface 13 and may be made as separate elements or it may be made as a single, integrated element. The door trim member 10 includes an aperture 19. An umbrella-receiving member pocket 18 that opens from the aperture 19 through an opening 25 into the map-receiving pocket member 12. The umbrella-receiving pocket 18 extends rearwardly from the map-receiving pocket member 12 and is inclined in a downward direction as it proceeds from the map-receiving pocket member 12 to utilize gravity to retain an umbrella 20 within the umbrella-receiving member pocket 18. The umbrella-receiving pocket 18 is closed at an end 22 that is away from the map-receiving pocket member 12. The umbrella-receiving member pocket 18 is formed by a U-shaped member 24 that is secured to an inwardly facing surface of the door trim member 10 and is closed at an end 22 that is away from the map-receiving pocket member 12. The U-shaped member 24 further includes a first end 27 opposite the second or closed end 26. The first end defines the opening 25. The closed end 26 is enclosed by an abutment 29. The U-shaped member 24 encloses a portion 30 of the outer surface 13, thereby defining the umbrella-receiving pocket 18. The back trim member 16 and the U-shaped member 24 may be made as separate elements or they may be made as a single, integrated element.
The longitudinal extent of the umbrella-receiving member 18 is such that an end 20A of the umbrella 20 can be reached by hand from the map pocket member 12 and without the need to open a door to which the door trim member 10 is attached, while at the same time the umbrella-receiving member 18 is hidden from the sight of an adjacent occupant of the vehicle. Nevertheless, the umbrella 20 is readily available to the adjacent occupant if and when it is needed to protect the occupant from a rainfall while exiting the associated vehicle. Attachment of the inner member 14 to the back member 16 may be by heat staking, if using heat-stakeable components, by threaded fasteners or by snap attachments, as may be the attachment of the umbrella-receiving member 24 to the door trim member 10.
The best mode known to the inventor for carrying out the present invention as of the filing date hereof has been shown and described herein, but it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that suitable modifications, variations and equivalents may be made without departing from the scope of the invention, such scope being limited solely by the terms of the following claims and the legal equivalents thereof.
