However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured to be inclined only at a predetermined angle.

The first inclined portion 13B and the second inclined portion 13C are inclined so as to be positioned downward from the central side in the left-right direction toward the outside when the operation lever 10 is positioned at the second position (see FIG. 6). Yes. Specifically, the first inclined portion 13B and the second inclined portion 13C are configured such that the operation lever 10 is located at the center in the left-right direction in a predetermined angle range from the third position closer to the first position than the second position to the second position. It inclines so that it may be located below as it goes outside. The connecting portion 13D is formed to extend in the left-right direction.

Next, an operation when a coin is inserted between the operation lever 10 and the recess 20C of the first support bracket 20 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the coin C enters the recess 20 C from the gap between the lid 11 and the second wall 22 in a state where the operation lever 10 is located at the first position, As shown, the coin C slides on, for example, the fifth inclined portion 11D of the lid portion 11 and moves outward in the left-right direction, and contacts the third wall 23 of the first support bracket 20 to move outward in the left-right direction. Is regulated. In addition, since the fifth inclined portion 11D is inclined even when facing rearward and downward (see FIG. 4), the coin C also moves backward. At this time, when the diameter of the coin C is larger than the distance between the extending portion 12 and the third wall 23 in the left-right direction, as shown in FIG. It is regulated by the extension 12.

Thereafter, when the operation lever 10 is rotated from the first position toward the second position by the occupant, as shown in the order of FIG. 11A and FIG. The end portion on the inner side in the left-right direction gradually floats from the lid portion 11 by being lifted by the lid portion 11 in a state of frictional engagement with the third wall 23. That is, the angle of the coin C with respect to the horizontal plane gradually increases.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11B, when the end portion on the inner side in the left-right direction of the coin C moves to the outer side in the left-right direction of the extending portion 12, the restriction on the backward movement of the coin C by the extending portion 12 is released. The Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 11C, the coin C moves rearward through the outer side in the left-right direction of the extending portion 12, and is discharged to the outside from the first opening 20A.

When the diameter of the coin C is smaller than the distance between the extending portion 12 and the third wall 23 in the left-right direction, the coin C is not restricted from moving backward by the extending portion 12, so that the operation lever Even if 10 remains in the first position, it moves to the rear end of the lid portion 11 through the outer side of the extending portion 12 in the left-right direction. At this time, if the gap G1 between the lid 11 (two-dot chain line) and the connecting wall 27 as shown in FIG. 11C is sufficiently larger than the thickness of the coin C, the operation lever 10 remains in the first position. Even so, the coin C is discharged to the outside through the first opening 20A as it is.

Further, when the gap G1 between the lid 11 and the connecting wall 27 is smaller than the thickness of the coin C, the backward movement of the coin C is restricted by the connecting wall 27. In this case, since the occupant rotates the operation lever 10 from the first position toward the second position, the gap G1 between the lid portion 11 and the connecting wall 27 gradually increases. The coin C can be discharged to the outside from the gap G1.

In the state where the operation lever 10 is located at the first position, the coin C that has entered from the gap between the lid portion 11 and the second wall 22 moves to the center portion in the left-right direction of the lid portion 11 (with the fifth inclined portion 11D). The corner between the sixth inclined portions 11E may be supported in a balanced manner and may not move. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the operation lever 10 is rotated to the vicinity of the second position, the coin C is gradually supported while being supported in a balanced manner in the central portion in the left-right direction of the lid portion 11. The angle increases with respect to the horizontal plane. At this time, the coin C is connected to the V-shaped concave portion 13 as shown in FIG. 12B while leaning against the central portion in the left-right direction of the lid portion 11 due to rattling of the operation lever 10 during rotation. Rolls slightly outward in the left-right direction on the part 13D.

On the other hand, by rotating the operation lever 10 to the vicinity of the second position, the first inclined portion 13B and the second inclined portion 13C of the V-shaped concave portion 13 are inclined toward the outer side in the left-right direction and the lower side. . Thereby, the coin C rolls on the 1st inclination part 13B, for example, and moves to the left-right direction outer side.

Thereafter, the coin C comes into contact with the third wall 23 and moves backward through the space between the third wall 23 and the extending portion 12. Thereby, as shown to Fig.12 (a), it discharges outside from the 1st opening 20A.

As described above, according to the vehicle seat S of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
Even if the coin C accidentally enters between the operation lever 10 and the recess 20C of the first support bracket 20, by operating the operation lever 10, the coin can be moved by any one of the

inclined portions

11D, 11E, 13B, and 13C. Since C moves to the outer side in the left-right direction, that is, to the edge of the lid portion 11, when the first opening 20A is opened by the operation of the operation lever 10, the coin C can be easily taken out from the first opening 20A.

Since the fifth inclined portion 11D is directly connected to the sixth inclined portion 11E, when the coin C accidentally enters between the operation lever 10 and the concave portion 20C of the first support bracket 20, the coin C becomes the fifth inclined portion. It is possible to suppress the movement from staying at the position between 11D and the sixth inclined portion 11E and not moving.

Since the restriction wall 31 facing the support hole 25A that rotatably supports the support pin 51 is provided, the restriction wall 31 can prevent the support pin 51 from moving in the axial direction and coming off the support hole 25A.

Can do.

When the operation lever 10 is located at the first position, the fifth inclined portion 11D and the sixth inclined portion 11E are inclined so as to be positioned downward from the center side in the left-right direction to the outside, so the operation lever 10 and the first 1 If the coin C accidentally enters the recess 20C of the support bracket 20, the coin C can be slid on the fifth inclined portion 11D or the sixth inclined portion 11E without operating the operation lever 10. Can be moved outward in the left-right direction.

Since the width of the extending portion 12 in the left-right direction is smaller than that of the lid portion 11, the coin C can be moved to the rear end portion of the lid portion 11 using the space outside the extending portion 12 in the left-right direction. Here, since the rear end portion of the lid portion 11 is a part that gradually moves away from the connecting wall 27 (the rear end of the first opening 20A) by the operation of the operation lever 10, a coin on the rear end portion of the lid portion 11 is used. C can be satisfactorily discharged from the gap between the lid portion 11 and the connecting wall 27 that gradually spreads.

In the state where the operation lever 10 is located at the first position, the fifth inclined portion 11D and the sixth inclined portion 11E are inclined obliquely downward and rearward. For example, when the diameter of the coin C is small, the operation lever Even without operating 10, the coin C can be moved to the outside in the left-right direction of the extending portion 12 and then moved to the rear end portion of the lid portion 11 through the side of the extending portion 12. . Thereby, for example, when the thickness of the coin C is smaller than the gap between the lid portion 11 and the connecting wall 27, the coin C is discharged to the outside through the first opening 20A without operating the operation lever 10. can do. For example, when the thickness of the coin C is larger than the gap between the lid portion 11 and the connecting wall 27, the coin C is discharged from the first opening 20A to the outside at the first stage where the operation lever 10 is started to be operated. can do.
