Description

Rotary holder device

The present invention relates to a rotary holder device that holds, for example, a can or a PET bottle.

Conventionally, a rotary holder device for holding cans, PET bottles, etc. has been known (for example, Patent Document 1). The rotary holder device described in Patent Document 1 includes a vehicle interior member such as a vehicle instrument panel and a center console, and a rotating body rotatable with respect to the vehicle interior member. The vehicle interior member has an opening. The rotating body is attached to a vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis. The rotating body has a holder opening formed in a size corresponding to the opening of the vehicle interior member, and has a cylindrical holder portion including a bottom wall and a side wall. The bottom wall functions as a holding wall against which the bottom surface of the can, PET bottle, etc. abuts when the holder opening is opened through the opening of the vehicle interior member, and is rotated around the horizontal axis. In this case, the back surface thereof is exposed to the outside through the opening of the vehicle interior member, thereby functioning as a lid portion that closes the opening.

By the way, it is necessary for vehicle interior parts to meet the requirements for an internal collision in consideration of safety in the event of a collision. For example, in the rotary holder device described in Patent Document 1 above, in the open state in which the holder opening of the rotating body is opened, a human Since a relatively large gap that allows fingers to enter is formed, it is required that both the vehicle interior member and the rotating body be formed in a shape that satisfies the requirements for an internal collision. However, when it is required that the peripheral edge of the opening of the vehicle interior member has a shape that satisfies the in-collision requirement, the peripheral edge of the opening of the vehicle interior member functions as the lid portion of the bottom wall of the rotating body. Even when it is closed, it is exposed to the outside, so the design of the rotary holder device may be impaired by the shape of the peripheral edge of the opening.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a rotary holder device capable of ensuring safety without forming a peripheral edge of an opening of a vehicle interior member into a shape that satisfies an internal collision requirement. The purpose is to provide.

One aspect of the present invention is a rotary type including a vehicle interior member having an opening formed on an upper surface thereof, and a rotating body rotatably attached to the vehicle interior member about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction. In the holder device, the rotating body is provided at a rotation angle position different from that of the cylindrical holder portion in which a holder opening having a size corresponding to the opening portion is formed, and the opening portion. And a lid portion formed in a shape that closes the holder opening, the holder opening has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the opening, and the vehicle interior member and the rotating body include the holder opening. Is opened through the opening, the radial gap formed between the rotating body and the peripheral edge of the opening in the vehicle interior member is formed to be less than a predetermined distance. The periphery of the holder opening in the holder portion is a rotary holder device that is formed in a shape that satisfies a predetermined inward collision requirement.

According to this configuration, it is not necessary to form the peripheral edge of the opening in the vehicle interior member in a shape that satisfies the requirement of inward collision, so that the designability of the rotary holder device in the closed state is impaired. Can be prevented, and a flat feeling of the surface in the closed state of the rotary holder device can be realized. Further, since the peripheral edge of the holder opening of the holder portion of the rotating body is formed in a shape that satisfies the requirement of inward collision, it is possible to ensure the safety of the vehicle interior component in the open state of the rotary holder device.

The concave portions F26a and the convex portions F26b are alternately arranged in the horizontal direction. Each of the concave portion F26a and the convex portion F26b is formed to have a predetermined width according to the size of a falling object to be scooped up, which will be described later. Hereinafter, the sidewall member F21 is referred to as a first sidewall member F21, and the sidewall member F22 is referred to as a second sidewall member F22.

A claw portion F27 is formed on the outer surface of the first side wall member F21. The claw portions F27 are provided on both axial side ends of the horizontal axis C extending in the horizontal direction X in the first side wall member F21 and project outward in the axial direction. A hole F28 is formed on the outer surface of the second side wall member F22. The hole portion F28 is provided in the projecting portion F29 projecting in the horizontal direction Y on the first side wall member F21 side, which is provided at each axial end of the horizontal axis C in the second side wall member F22.

The rotation angle position where the holder part F62 is provided and the rotation angle position where the lid part F63 is provided differ, for example, by 90 ° about the horizontal axis C. That is, for example, when the rotating body F60 is rotated by 90 ° about the horizontal axis C from the state where the holder portion F62 is located on the upper portion, the rotating body F60 is moved to the state where the lid body portion F63 is located on the upper portion.

The holder part F62 is a part forming a cylindrical holding space for holding drinks to be held. The holder part F62 is formed in a tubular shape. The holder portion F62 has a holder opening F64 that is continuous with the holding space. The holder opening F64 has a size corresponding to the opening F12 of the exposed member F11, and specifically has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the opening F12. The vehicle interior member F10 and the rotating body F60 are between the rotating body F60 and the peripheral edge of the opening F12 in the exposed member F11 of the vehicle interior member F10 with the holder opening F64 opened through the opening F12. The formed radial gap is formed to be less than a predetermined distance.

That is, in a state where the holder opening F64 is opened via the opening F12, the peripheral edge of the opening F12 in the exposed member F11 of the vehicle interior member F10 and the rotating body F60 (specifically, the upper end of the holder F62). Etc.), a radial gap is formed. This radial gap is less than the predetermined distance. The predetermined distance is, for example, a diameter of a sphere used for safety standards related to internal protrusions of vehicle interior parts specified in Europe and Japan, and is 165 mm, for example. However, in order to ensure safety, it is preferable that the radial gap is a distance (for example, less than 2.5 mm) that a human finger cannot enter. The radial clearance is set to a distance that does not interfere with the rotation of the vehicle interior member F10 and the rotation body F60 in order to ensure smooth rotation of the rotation body F60 with respect to the vehicle interior member F10. Need to be present.

The peripheral edge of the holder opening F64 in the holder portion F62 is rounded over the entire circumference. Specifically, the peripheral edge of the holder opening F64 in the holder portion F62 (the area surrounded by the broken line in FIG. 8) is formed in a shape that satisfies the inward collision requirement used for the above safety standards. The requirement for this internal collision is that the radius of curvature is 2.5 mm or more or 3.2 mm or more.

The lid portion F63 is a portion that closes the circular opening F12 of the vehicle interior member F10. The lid part F63 is formed in a circular and planar shape so as to match the opening part F12. The lid portion F63 is arranged so as to be flush with the surface of the exposed member F11 when the opening F12 is closed. The lid portion F63 may be integrally formed with the holder portion F62, or may be a body separate from the holder portion F62 as shown in FIG. 4 and attached and fixed to the holder portion F62. .

An operation mark portion F65 is provided on the surface of the lid body portion F63. The operation mark portion F65 is a mark indicating a portion to be touched by an occupant such as a driver during the opening operation as described later. The operation mark portion F65 is a protruding portion that protrudes outward from the surface of the lid body portion F63. The operation mark portion F65 is provided on the half of the circular surface of the lid portion F63 on the side closer to the holder portion F62 (that is, on the half in the rotation direction θ2 side described later). The operation mark portion F65 is preferably arranged at the end portion near the holder portion F62 in order to realize the opening operation with a small operation force.

In the vehicle interior member F10 and the rotating body F60, the peripheral portion of the opening F12 in the exposed member F11 of the vehicle interior member F10 and the rotating body F60 (specifically, in the state where the lid portion F63 closes the opening F12). , And the radial gap formed between the cover body portion F63 and the surface corner portion of the lid body portion F63 is smaller than a predetermined distance. That is, in this state, a radial gap of less than the predetermined distance is formed between the rotating body F60 and the peripheral edge of the opening F12 of the vehicle interior member F10. As described above, this predetermined distance is the diameter of a sphere used for the safety standard related to the internal protrusion of the vehicle interior parts specified in Europe or Japan, and is 165 mm, for example. However, in order to ensure safety, it is preferable that the radial gap is a distance (for example, less than 2.5 mm) that a human finger cannot enter. Further, the radial clearance is set to a distance that does not interfere with the rotation of the rotating body F60 with respect to the vehicle interior member F10 when the rotating body F60 rotates.

In the rotating body F60, a state in which the holder opening F64 of the holder portion F62 is opened through the opening portion F12 of the exposed member F11 (open state) and a state in which the lid body portion F63 closes the opening portion F12 ( It rotates about the horizontal axis C so as to switch between the closed state).

The opening device F70 is a device that, when the rotating body F60 is in the closed state, rotates the rotating body F60 to the open state to open the holder opening F64 through the opening portion F12. The opening device F70 has a biasing member F71. The biasing member F71 is a torsion spring. A locking portion F66 that projects axially outward is provided on the outer surface of the rotary body F60 on the axially one end side (front side in FIGS. 1 to 4) of the horizontal axis C. A locking portion F31 that projects inward in the axial direction is provided on the inner surface of the first side wall member F21 on the axially one end side of the horizontal axis C. The biasing member F71 is attached such that one end thereof is locked to the locking portion F31 of the first side wall member F21 and the other end thereof is locked to the locking portion F66 of the rotating body F60. The biasing member F71 generates a biasing force that biases the rotating body F60 in the rotation direction θ1 from the closed state side to the open state side.

The opening device F70 has a damper device F72. The damper device F72 is a one-way clutch damper that reduces the speed when the rotating body F60 is biased by the biasing member F71 in the rotation direction θ1 from the closed state side to the open state side. The damper device F72 has a disc gear member F73. The disc gear member F73 is a disc-shaped member that has a gear with irregularities extending on the outer peripheral surface in the radial direction. The disc gear member F73 is rotatably supported by the holding member F74. The holding member F74 is attached and fixed to the attachment portion F32 provided on the first side wall member F21.

The damper device F72 has a gear portion F75. The gear portion F75 extends in an arc shape around the horizontal axis C at one axial end of the horizontal axis C of the rotating body F60, and has a gear in which unevenness extending in the radial direction is formed. The gear of the disc gear member F73 and the gear of the gear portion F75 mesh with each other. The rotation of the rotating body F60 about the horizontal axis C proceeds while the rotating body F60 is decelerated while the gear of the disc gear member F73 and the gear of the gear portion F75 mesh with each other.

The restriction device F80 is a device that locks the rotating body F60 in a closed state and unlocks the lock. The restriction device F80 has an arm member F81 extending in a strip shape. The arm member F81 is swingably attached to an attachment portion F33 provided on the second side wall member F22. One end of the arm member F81 is supported by the mounting portion F33. A projecting portion F82 extending in the axial direction of the horizontal axis C is provided at the other end of the arm member F81. The protruding portion F82 is formed in a columnar shape or a cylindrical shape. The second side wall member F22 is provided with a hole F34 penetrating in the axial direction of the horizontal axis C. The protruding portion F82 is arranged so as to extend from the outer side of the second side wall member F22 to the inner side of the second side wall member F22 via the hole F34.

The regulation device F80 has a closing operation inclined portion F83, a stopper portion F84, an opening operation inclined portion F85, and guide portions F86 and F87. The closing operation inclined portion F83, the stopper portion F84, the opening operation inclined portion F85, and the guide portions F86 and F87 are respectively provided on the outer surface of the rotary body F60 on the one axial end side of the horizontal axis C, and the outside of the axial direction. It projects toward. The closing operation inclined portion F83, the stopper portion F84, the opening operation inclined portion F85, and the guide portions F86 and F87 are arranged so as to contact the protruding portion F82 of the arm member F81 at necessary timings.

The inclined portion F83 for closing operation causes the protrusion F82 to come into contact with the arm member F81 on one end side while the rotating body F60 rotates about the horizontal axis C in the rotation direction θ2 of the closed state side. This is a part that is swung in the swing direction ω1 around the center. After the rotating body F60 reaches the closed state, the stopper portion F84 is rotated by returning the rotating body F60 about the horizontal axis C directly in the rotation direction θ1 on the open state side by the contact of the protruding portion F82. This is the part that regulates. When the rotating body F60 reaches the closed state and the rotating body F60 further rotates in the rotation direction θ2 from the open state side to the closed state side, the protruding portion F82 comes into contact with the opening operation inclined portion F85. The arm member F81 is a portion that swings in the swinging direction ω2, which is the side opposite to the swinging direction ω1 around the one end side.

The guide portion F86 is a portion that guides the projecting portion F82 until the projecting portion F82 contacts the closing operation inclined portion F83 and then contacts the stopper portion F84. The guide portion F87 is a portion that guides the projecting portion F82 from the contact of the projecting portion F82 with the opening operation inclined portion F85 to the opening state. In addition, when the rotating body F60 rotates from the open state in the rotation direction θ2 to the closed state and further rotates in the rotation direction θ2 by more than a predetermined amount, the opening operation inclined portion F85 and the guide portion F87 project. The contact of F82 restricts further rotation of the rotating body F60.

A comb-tooth portion F67 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating body F60. The comb tooth portion F67 is provided at two locations corresponding to the comb tooth portion F26 of the side wall members F21 and F22. Specifically, the comb-tooth portion F67 is provided on the peripheral edge of the holder opening F64 on the rotation direction θ2 side of the rotary body F60 with respect to the holder portion F62, and on the rotation direction θ1 side of the rotary body F60 with respect to the lid body portion F63. It is provided on the periphery. The comb-tooth portion F67 is a concavo-convex portion including a convex portion that projects outward from the outer surface of the rotating body F60. The comb tooth portion F67 meshes with the comb tooth portion F26. The convex portions F67a and the concave portions F67b of the comb tooth portion F67 are arranged alternately in the horizontal direction along the concave portions F26a and the convex portions F26b of the comb tooth portions F26 of the side wall members F21 and F22. Each of the convex portion F67a and the concave portion F67b is formed to have a predetermined width according to the size of a falling object to be scooped up, which will be described later.

A knob F68 for closing operation is attached to the rotating body F60. The closing operation knob F68 is an operation assisting unit that assists an operation performed by an occupant in the open state in which the holder opening F64 is opened through the opening F12 to rotate the rotating body F60 in the closing direction rotation direction θ2. . The closing operation knob F68 is formed in a wing shape so as to facilitate the pressing operation in the rotation direction θ2, and can be pressed in the rotation direction θ2. The closing operation knob F68 is provided near the boundary between the holder portion F62 and the lid portion F63 in the rotating body F60, that is, at the periphery of the holder opening F64 on the rotation direction θ1 side with respect to the holder portion F62 so as to project outward. . The closing operation knob F68 fits in the spherical space F23 located below the opening F12 in the closed state in which the lid F63 closes the opening F12, and the holder opening F64 is opened through the opening F12. In the opened state, it projects upward from the opening F12.

The closing operation knob F68 may be swingably attached to the rotating body F60 about an axis parallel to the horizontal axis C, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. In this case, the closing operation knob F68 may be biased toward the center side of the holder opening F64 so as to close the holder opening F64 around an axis parallel to the horizontal axis C. In such a structure, the closing operation knob F68 can move forward and backward such that the amount of protrusion of the holder opening F64 toward the center side is changed according to the outer diameter of the drinks inserted in the holder portion F62. That is, the closing operation knob F68 has a distal end abutting the outer surface of the drink according to the drink inserted in the holder portion F62, so that the closing operation knob F68 is not included in the holder. A force for pressing the opening F64 to the opposite side is applied. In addition, in order to hold small-sized drinks in the holder portion F62, as shown in FIG. 10, the size of the closing operation knob F68 (specifically, the amount protruding outward) should be increased. Is effective.

Next, the operation of the rotary holder device F1 will be described.

In the rotary holder device F1, the arm member F81 attached to the second side wall member F22 of the vehicle interior member F10 is in a closed state in which the lid F63 of the rotor F60 closes the opening F12 of the vehicle interior member F10. By contacting the protruding portion F82 with the stopper portion F84 of the rotating body F60, the rotating body F60 is restricted from returning and rotating in the rotation direction θ1 on the open state side about the horizontal axis C. Therefore, in the closed state in which the cover F63 of the rotating body F60 closes the opening F12 of the vehicle interior member F10, the closed state is maintained even if, for example, vehicle vibration occurs. In this closed state, the rotating body F60 is allowed to slightly rotate about the horizontal axis C in the rotation direction θ2.

Further, in the above closed state, a radial gap less than a predetermined distance is formed between the rotating body F60 and the peripheral edge of the opening F12 of the exposed member F11 of the vehicle interior member F10. As described above, this predetermined distance is the diameter of the sphere used for the safety standard concerning the internal protrusion of the vehicle interior parts specified in Europe and Japan. For this reason, it is not necessary to form the peripheral edge of the opening F12 in the exposed member F11 into a shape that satisfies the requirement of inward collision, and the designability of the rotary holder device F1 in the closed state is impaired. Can be prevented, and the flat feeling of the surface in the closed state of the rotary holder device F1 can be realized.

When an occupant such as a driver switches from the closed state in the rotary holder device F1 to the open state in which the holder opening F64 of the holder portion F62 of the rotating body F60 is opened through the opening portion F12, the lid body is opened. The portion F63 is pressed downward. Specifically, the operation mark portion F65 on the surface of the lid body portion F63 is touched and the operation mark portion F65 is pressed downward. When the lid portion F63 is pressed downward in the closed state, the rotating body F60 rotates about the horizontal axis C in the rotation direction θ2. When the rotating body F60 is rotated in the rotation direction θ2 in this closed state, the protruding portion F82 of the arm member F81 abuts on the opening operation inclined portion F85 of the rotating body F60, so that the arm member F81 becomes It is swung in the swinging direction ω2 around the side.

When the downward pressing of the lid F63 is released while the arm member F81 is swung in the swinging direction ω2, the rotating body F60 is biased in the rotating direction θ1 by the biasing force of the biasing member F71. It is energized and rotates. The rotation of the rotating body F60 is performed while the speed is relaxed by the damper device F72. Then, when the rotating body F60 rotates about 90 ° about the horizontal axis C, the holder opening F64 enters an open state in which it is opened through the opening F12.

In the above open state, drinks to be held such as cans and PET bottles can be held in the holder portion F62 of the rotating body F60. Further, in the above open state, a radial gap of less than a predetermined distance is formed between the rotating body F60 and the peripheral edge of the opening F12 in the exposed member F11 of the vehicle interior member F10. For this reason, it is not necessary to form the peripheral edge of the opening F12 in the exposed member F11 into a shape that satisfies the requirement for inward collision, and thus the designability of the rotary holder device F1 in the open state is impaired. Can be prevented.

The holder opening F64 has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the opening F12 of the exposed member F11. The peripheral edge of the holder opening F64 is rounded over the entire circumference. Specifically, the radius of curvature used for the safety standard of the internal protrusion of the vehicle interior component is 2.5 mm or more, or It is formed in a shape satisfying the requirement of an internal collision of 3.2 mm or more. Therefore, in the above open state, it is possible to ensure safety in the event of a collision of vehicle interior parts.

An occupant such as a driver pushes the closing operation knob F68 in the rotation direction θ2 when switching from the open state to the closed state in the rotary holder device F1. When the closing operation knob F68 is pressed in the rotation direction θ2, the rotating body F60 rotates about the horizontal axis C in the rotation direction θ2. When the rotating body F60 is rotated in the rotation direction θ2, the protruding portion F82 of the arm member F81 abuts on the closing operation inclined portion F83 of the rotating body F60, so that the arm member F81 is at one end side. Is swung in the swinging direction ω1 and then the projecting portion F82 is guided by the guide portion F86, so that the projecting portion F82 abuts on the stopper portion F84. When the projecting portion F82 is brought into contact with the stopper portion F84, the rotating body F60 is brought into a closed state in which the lid body portion F63 closes the opening portion F12 of the vehicle interior member F10. In this case, the closing operation knob F68 is contained in the spherical space F23, and the rotating body F60 is restricted from returning and rotating in the rotation direction θ1 on the open state side.

In the above closed state, the holder opening F64 is hidden in the spherical space F23, and the peripheral edge of the holder opening F64 does not appear outside. Therefore, even if the peripheral shape of the holder opening F64 is a shape that satisfies the inward collision requirement. It is possible to prevent the design of the rotary holder device F1 in the closed state from being impaired. Further, the bottom surface and the side surface of the holding space of the holder portion F62 are design surfaces with which the drinks held are in contact, and are sites that are easily scratched due to the contact. In the above closed state, the holder part F62 is accommodated in the spherical space F23, and the design surface of the holding space of the holder part F62 is not exposed to the outside. It is not necessary to take measures against scratches, and the degree of freedom in constructing the design surface can be increased.

Further, in the rotary holder device F1, the opening device F70 has a biasing member F71 that generates a biasing force that biases the rotating body F60 in the rotation direction θ1 from the closed state side to the open state side. When the occupant presses the surface (specifically, the operation mark portion F65) of the lid body portion F63 downward in the closed state where the lid body portion F63 closes the opening portion F12, the urging force of the urging member F71 is generated. The rotation of the rotating body F60 with respect to the vehicle interior member F10 brings the holder portion F62 into an open state in which it is opened through the opening portion F12. Therefore, when the rotary holder device F1 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the surface of the lid portion F63 may be pressed downward, so that the occupant can easily open the rotary holder device F1 with one hand. Can be

Further, in the rotary holder device F1, the rotating body F60 is provided with a closing operation knob F68 for assisting the operation of rotating the rotating body F60 from the open state to the rotation direction θ2 on the closed state side. The closing operation knob F68 is provided on the peripheral edge of the holder opening F64 on the side of the holder portion F62 in the rotation direction θ1 so as to project outward, and inside the spherical space F23 located below the opening portion F12 in the closed state. And also protrudes above the opening F12 in the open state. With this structure, when the rotary holder device F1 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the closing operation knob F68 only needs to be pressed in the rotation direction θ2, so that the presence of the closing operation knob F68 allows the occupant to use one hand. The rotary holder device F1 can be closed by a simple operation.

Further, the closing operation knob F68 is swingably attached to the rotating body F60 about an axis parallel to the horizontal axis C and is biased toward the center side of the holder opening F64 so as to close the holder opening F64. In the structure, the drinks inserted into the holding space of the holder portion F62 are applied with a force pressing from the tip end side of the closing operation knob F68 to the opposite side across the holder opening F64. In this case, the drinks inserted in the holder portion F62 are sandwiched between the closing operation knob F68 and the side surface of the holding space of the holder portion F62. For this reason, the drinks held by the holder part F62 can be brought into contact with the side surface of the holding space, and the contact state can be maintained, so that the drinks held by the holder part F62 can be held by the drinks. It is possible to regulate and support the radial movement in the space, and to prevent the rattling of the drinks.

Further, a comb tooth portion F26 is provided on the inner surface of each of the side wall members F21 and F22 of the vehicle interior member F10. A comb tooth portion F67 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating body F60 so as to correspond to the comb tooth portions F26 of the side wall members F21 and F22. The comb tooth portion F26 of the side wall members F21 and F22 and the comb tooth portion F67 of the rotating body F60 relatively move while meshing with each other when the rotating body F60 rotates with respect to the vehicle interior member F10. The concave portion F26a and the convex portion F26b of the comb tooth portion F26 and the convex portion F67a and the concave portion F67b of the comb tooth portion F67 each have a predetermined width according to the size of the falling object to be scooped.

In this structure, if the fallen object that has dropped from the opening F12 of the exposed member F11 of the vehicle interior member F10 into the spherical space F23 has a size exceeding the predetermined width, the fallen object is the vehicle interior member. It is caught between the comb tooth portion F26 on the F10 side and the comb tooth portion F67 of the rotating body F60. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a fallen object that has fallen from the opening F12 into the spherical space F23 from further downward from the gap between the inner surface of the vehicle interior member F10 and the outer surface of the rotating body F60, and the next rotating body F60. It is possible to scoop up the fallen object that has been caught during the rotation of, and enable the occupant to pick up the fallen object through the opening F12.

By the way, in the above-described embodiment, the operation mark portion F65 operated by the occupant during the opening operation is a protruding portion that protrudes outward from the surface of the lid portion F63. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The operation mark portion F65 may be a mark indicating a portion to be touched by the occupant during the opening operation, and for example, a portion that is recessed in the surface of the lid body portion F63 or a color contrasting with the other surface of the lid body portion F63. It may be a sticker display provided.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the cover portion F63 of the rotating body F60 is pressed downward when the rotary holder device F1 is closed, and is rotated by the biasing force of the biasing member F71 of the opening device F70. The body F60 rotates and the holder portion F62 enters an open state in which it is opened through the opening portion F12. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the rotary holder F1 is opened, the rotary body F60 is pressed in the rotation direction θ2, and the rotary body F60 is rotated by the biasing force of the biasing member of the predetermined closing device to open the lid portion F63. It may be in a closed state in which the portion F12 is closed. Further, switching from a closed state in which the lid body portion F63 closes the opening portion F12 to an open state in which the holder portion F62 is opened through the opening portion F12, and switching from the open state to the closed state, The turnover spring may be used in one operation.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the rotary holder device F1 is closed, the occupant pushes the surface of the lid portion F63 downward to rotate the rotating body F60 in the rotation direction θ2, and then the pushing is released. By doing so, the rotating body F60 is rotated in the rotation direction θ1 with respect to the vehicle interior member F10 by the urging force of the urging member F71 of the opening device F70, and the open state in which the holder part F62 is opened through the opening part F12 is realized. To be done. When the rotator holder F1 is in the open state, the occupant pushes the closing operation knob F68 in the rotation direction θ2 to rotate the rotating body F60 in the rotation direction θ2, so that the lid body portion F63 of the vehicle interior member F10. A closed state in which the opening F12 is closed is realized. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to a rotary holder device of a modified form described later.

The rotary holder device of this modification is a vehicle-mounted rotary lid device mounted on a vehicle. Hereinafter, the rotary holder device of this modification will be referred to as a vehicle-mounted rotary lid device. Further, in this vehicle-mounted rotary lid device, the "functional member" is the "vehicle interior member", the "opening / closing area" is the "opening", and the "lid member" is the "rotating body having a lid portion". , Respectively.

In other words, drink holders that hold cans, PET bottles, etc., and console boxes for storing various items, etc. are known as one type of functional members installed in vehicles. This kind of functional member has a function of holding a can or a PET bottle and containing an article. Some devices having these functional members have a lid member for closing or opening the functional members as needed. Hereinafter, in the present specification, a device including this kind of lid member and a functional member is referred to as a lid device. Further, among the functional members in the lid device, the region that is closed or opened by the lid member is referred to as an open / close region.

As a method of changing the position between the closed position where the lid member closes the opening / closing area and the opening position where the opening / closing area is opened, there are methods such as uniaxial or multi-axis rotation and sliding.

For example, Patent Document 2 (JP-A-2017-124781) discloses a lid member that rotates between an open position and a closed position. The example of Patent Document 2 introduces a cup holder having a lid member as a lid member. The cup holder has a holder, a lid member, a spring, and a lock member. The lid member has an arm, and the arm is rotatably and axially coupled to each of the left and right side surfaces of the holder by a shaft pin. The lid member rotates with respect to the holder by the mechanism. Further, a spring is fitted between the arm of the lid member and the side surface of the holder, and the lid member is always urged in the rotating direction by the urging force of the spring. Further, the lid member is held in the closed state by the lock member. The lock member releases the holding state by pressing the lid member. According to the technique introduced in Patent Document 2, the lid member, that is, the lid member is automatically changed in position from the closed position to the open position, that is, from the closed state to the opened state by the biasing force of the spring.

By the way, since the space inside the vehicle compartment is limited, it may be difficult for the occupants to move freely inside the vehicle compartment. According to the vehicle-mounted and pivotable lid device described in Patent Document 2, the lid member automatically changes its position from the closed position to the open position. Therefore, the occupant can open the lid member of the vehicle-mounted rotary lid device from the closed position to the open position with a relatively small motion. That is, it can be said that the lid device introduced in Patent Document 2 has excellent operability during the opening operation.

However, even in the vehicle-mounted rotary lid device introduced in Patent Document 2, it is still necessary for the occupant to manually perform the closing operation of the lid member from the open position to the closed position. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in operability in this type of vehicle-mounted rotary lid device.

The present modified embodiment has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle-mounted rotary lid device with improved operability. That is, the vehicle-mounted rotary lid device according to this modification has excellent operability.

The following is a specific description of the vehicle-mounted rotary lid device of this modification. In the present specification, the vehicle-mounted rotary lid device of the present modified form may be abbreviated as the modified lid device or the like, if necessary. Further, unless otherwise specified, the numerical range “x to y” described in the present specification includes the lower limit x and the upper limit y in the range. The upper limit value and the lower limit value, and the numerical values listed in the modified embodiment may be arbitrarily combined to form the numerical value range. Further, numerical values arbitrarily selected from the numerical range can be set as the upper and lower numerical values.

The lid device of this modification has a functional member, a lid member, and a drive element. The functional member is a member having some function, and has an opening / closing area that is opened and closed by the lid member. The lid member changes its position by pivoting between an open position and a closed position, closes the open / close area of the functional member in the closed position, and opens the open / close area in the open position. When the lid member opens the opening / closing area, the inside of the functional member becomes accessible to the outside world. Further, when the lid member closes the opening / closing area, the inside of the functional member becomes inaccessible from the outside world. It suffices that the functional member and the lid member in the lid device according to the present modification satisfy such a relationship.

For example, if the lid device of the present modified embodiment is a drink holder, the functional member has a holder portion for accommodating and holding a beverage container, and the lid member has a closed position for closing the opening of the holder portion and an opening of the holder portion. The position may be changed to an open position for opening. In this case, the opening of the holder portion becomes the opening / closing area of the functional member.

Further, for example, when the lid device of the present modified embodiment is a drink holder, the lid member may have a holder portion, and the functional member may have an accommodation portion for accommodating the holder portion of the lid member. In this case, the lid member may be rotated to change its position between a closed position that closes the opening of the housing of the functional member and an open position that opens the opening of the housing. For example, the lid member may close the opening by the holder portion, or may have a lid portion that closes the opening separately from the holder portion. That is, in this case, not the opening of the holder portion but the opening of the accommodation portion serves as the opening / closing area of the functional member.

As will be described later, the lid member is rotatable in the opening direction from the closed position side to the open position side further than the open position, and is closed from the open position side to the closed position side further than the closed position. Can be rotated in any direction. That is, the lid member in the lid device according to the present modification changes its position within a region slightly wider than the region including the region between the open position and the closed position.

When the lid member has the lid portion and the holder portion as described above, the lid portion of the lid member closes the opening / closing area of the functional member in the closed position, and opens the opening / closing area in the open position. The position of the holder is not particularly limited.

The holder part may be housed in the housing part of the functional member when the lid part is in the closed position, and may be enclosed by the lid part inside the housing part. Also in this case, when the lid portion is moved to the open position and the housing portion is opened, the holder portion housed inside the housing portion becomes accessible from the outside. That is, at this time, the occupant can store and hold an article such as a container in the holder section and can take out the article stored and held in the holder section.

Alternatively, for example, as the lid member, one having a holder portion on the back surface side of the lid portion may be used. In such a case, when the lid portion closes the opening / closing area of the functional member in the closed position, the holder portion may be exposed to the outside of the opening / closing area. That is, the lid member having the holder portion on the back surface side of the lid portion is rotated by 180 °, so that the opening / closing area of the functional member is closed by the lid portion and the holder portion is accommodated in the accommodating portion of the functional member. The position can be changed to the closed position and the second closed position in which the holder portion is exposed outside the opening / closing area while closing the opening / closing area of the functional member by the lid portion. It can be said that the lid in the lid device takes two closed positions. In the lid device of this type, when the lid member is located at the open position between the first closed position and the second closed position, a part of the opening / closing area of the functional member is opened and stored. The part or the holder part accommodated in the accommodating part becomes accessible from the outside world.

As described above, the lid member in the lid device according to the present modification may change its position by rotating to the first closed position, the open position, and the second closed position. The rotation angle of the lid member is not particularly limited, and may be a relatively large angle of 180 ° or more, or a relatively small angle of 90 ° or less. In consideration of space saving of the lid device, it is preferable that the lid member has a small rotation angle so that a mechanism for rotating the lid member, that is, a drive element described later can be downsized. Preferable ranges of the rotation angle between the open position and the closed position of the lid member include respective ranges of 120 ° or less, 100 ° or less, 90 ° or less, and less than 90 °.

The lid member only needs to open the opening / closing area of the functional member in the open position, and the position of the lid member in the open position is not particularly limited. For example, in the open position, the lid member may protrude outward from the opening / closing area of the functional member. However, since the lid device according to the present modified embodiment is arranged in the vehicle compartment where the space is limited, in consideration of the space saving, the amount of protrusion of the lid member outward from the opening / closing area of the functional member is small in the open position. Smaller is preferable. Specifically, at least a part of the lid member is preferably arranged inside the functional member in the open position, or laterally of the functional member and inside the opening / closing region. Of course, it is particularly preferable that the entire lid member is arranged inside the functional member in the open position or laterally of the functional member and inside the opening / closing region.

The functional member is not limited to the holder part and the accommodating part described above, and various kinds of tables typified by a table for placing articles such as communication devices and bags, a car navigation system monitor, a car navigation system and an audio system. It may be an operation panel or the like for operating the in-vehicle device. In these cases, the opening / closing area of the functional member is the mounting surface of the table, the screen of the monitor or the operation panel. The opening / closing area of the functional member can be regarded as an area of the functional member for an occupant to access.

When at least a part of the lid member is arranged inside the functional member, it is preferable that the functional member has a housing portion for housing the lid member. The accommodating portion for accommodating the lid member may also serve as the holder portion provided in the functional member or the accommodating portion for accommodating the holder portion provided in the lid member, or provided separately from these. May be.

The drive element changes state between a closed drive state in which the lid member is driven to the closed position and an open drive state in which the lid member is driven to the open position. That is, the drive element drives the lid member to the closed position in the closed drive state, and drives the lid member to the open position in the open drive state.

In the lid device of the present modified embodiment, in order to change the state of the drive element from the closed drive state to the open drive state, the lid member in the closed position is moved in the direction in which the lid member rotates from the open position to the closed position, that is, , Further press in the closing direction. Further, in order to change the state of the drive element from the open drive state to the close drive state, the lid member in the open position is further pressed in the direction in which the lid member rotates from the closed position to the open position, that is, in the open direction. To do.

According to such a drive element, the occupant only presses the lid member, the lid member is driven and the opening / closing area of the functional member is automatically opened / closed. Therefore, it can be said that the lid device according to the present modification, which includes the functional member, the lid member, and the driving element, is excellent in operability.

In addition to the open drive state and the close drive state, the drive element has a state between the open drive state and the close drive state, that is, a neutral state in which the lid member is not driven to the open position or the closed position. Very good. If the drive element is in the neutral state when the lid member is in the open position or the lid member is in the closed position, the locking element for locking the lid member in the open position or the closed position is not particularly provided. , The lid member can be maintained in the open or closed position. The drive element may be in the neutral state when the lid member is in the open position or in the closed position, or may be in the neutral state in both.

Hereinafter, the lid device according to the present modification (that is, the third modification) will be described with reference to specific examples.
The modified lid device is a part of a console box mounted in a vehicle compartment, and more specifically, a drink holder.

The operation of the modified lid device will be described below.

The lid member S3 in the modified lid device is rotated to change between the closed position shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 and the open position shown in FIG. The lid member S3 is rotatable about the lid rotation shaft S34 in an opening direction that is a clockwise direction and a closing direction that is a counterclockwise direction. Further, the lid member S3 is also positioned at the closing limit position (see FIG. 17) which is rotated further in the closing direction than the closing position and the opening limit position (see FIG. 21) which is rotated in the opening direction further than the opening position. It can change. Therefore, it can be said that the lid member S3 substantially changes its position by rotating between the closed limit position and the open limit position, and in the meantime, changes its position by rotating between the closed position and the open position.

The link member S55 rotates between the first link position shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, 21 and 22, and the second link position shown in FIGS. 17 to 19. The link member S55 at the first link position rotates counterclockwise to change to the second link position. Further, the link member S55 at the second link position rotates clockwise to change the position to the first link position.

As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, in the closed position, the lid portion S30 of the lid member S3 closes the open / close area S11 of the housing portion S15. At this time, the holder portion S31 of the lid member S3 is below the lid portion S30, and the lid portion S30 and the holder portion S31 are housed inside the housing portion S15. That is, at this time, the entire lid member S3 is housed inside the functional member S1 rather than the opening / closing area S11.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, in the link member S55 at the first link position, the pressure receiving portion S58 faces the upper side and the front side, and the link side holding portion S56 faces the lower side and the rear side. At this time, it can be said that the link member S55 directs the pressure receiving portion S58 toward the opening direction side and the link side holding portion S56 toward the closing direction side. The pressure receiving portion S58 is arranged at the front end portion of the pressure receiving guide portion S19. As shown in FIG. 12, on the front side of the pressure receiving portion S58, that is, on the rear side of the rotation direction of the link member S55 from the first link position to the second link position, the opening provided in the lid member S3 is provided. The input unit S41 is arranged.

As shown in FIG. 13, at this time, the lock engagement portion S65 of the first lock body S61 engages with the lock groove S59 of the link member S55. Therefore, at this time, the link member S55 is locked by the lock engaging portion S65 and is locked at the first link position.

Further, at this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the lid-side holding portion S40 provided on the lid member S3 is arranged at the rear portion of the biasing guide portion S20. On the other hand, the link-side holding portion S56 is arranged below and slightly ahead of the lid-side holding portion S40. Therefore, the link-side end S52 of the opening / closing urging element S50 is also arranged below and slightly to the front of the lid-side end S51. The link-side end S52 is located on the front side in the closing direction with respect to the straight line Ls passing through the lid-side end S51 and the lid rotation shaft S34.

A biasing force is slightly accumulated in the opening / closing biasing element S50, and the link-side end S52 is positioned on the front side in the closing direction with respect to the straight line Ls passing through the lid-side end S51 and the lid rotation shaft S34. To do. The link member S55 that holds the link-side end S52 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 is locked and stopped rotating as described above. Therefore, the biasing force of the opening / closing biasing element S50 acts on the lid member S3 via the lid-side end S51 of the opening / closing biasing element S50. Specifically, at this time, the opening / closing urging element S50 tries to deform in the direction of releasing the urging force, that is, the contracting direction, so that the lid member S3 is acted on by the force of being drawn in the closing direction. Due to the action of the opening / closing biasing element S50, the lid member S3 is difficult to rotate in the opening direction at this time, and is held in the closed position even when, for example, there is rattling during traveling of the vehicle.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, one end of the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 is located rearward of the opening / closing restriction pin S43 provided on the lid member S3. At this time, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 is in an intermediate state in which the biasing force is not accumulated. Further, on the front side of one end and the rear side of the other end of the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69, return regulating pins (not shown) are arranged. Therefore, when a force in the counterclockwise direction, that is, the closing direction acts on one end of the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 elastically deforms in the closing direction and accumulates the biasing force. Similarly, even when a force acts on the other end of the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 in the clockwise direction, that is, in the opening direction, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 elastically deforms in the closing direction to accumulate the biasing force. Therefore, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 restricts the counterclockwise position change of the opening / closing restriction pin S43 when the lid member S3 is in the closed position, and thus further rotates the lid member S3 counterclockwise, that is, in the closing direction. Regulate movement. Due to the action of the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69, the lid member S3 is more difficult to rotate in the closing direction than the closing position, and is held in the closing position.

Similarly, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 restricts the clockwise position change of the opening / closing restriction pin S43 when the lid member S3 is at the open position described later, and thus further extends the clockwise direction of the lid member S3, that is, the opening direction. Regulate the rotation of. Therefore, due to the action of the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69, the lid member S3 is more difficult to rotate in the opening direction than the open position, and is held in the open position.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the occupant pushes the pressing end S32 at the rear end of the lid member S3 downward, a force in the closing direction is further applied to the lid member S3 in the closed position. When the pressing force from the occupant at this time exceeds the urging force of the opening / closing assisting urging member S69, the lid member S3 rotates further in the closing direction than the closing position, and moves toward the closing limit position shown in FIG.

When the lid member S3 is further rotated in the closing direction from the closed position, as shown in FIG. 15, the lid side holding portion S40 provided on the lid member S3 overlaps the first lock body S61, and the lock locking portion S65 is formed. The first lock body S61 is pressed to the side away from the accommodation portion S15, that is, the right side in FIG. Then, the first lock body S61 rotates toward the right side in FIG. 11 against the biasing force of the lock biasing member S64. Therefore, the lock engaging portion S65 of the first lock body S61 is disengaged from the lock groove S59 of the link member S55, the lock of the link member S55 by the first lock body S61 is released, and the link member S55 becomes rotatable. Become.

At this time, as the lid member S3 further rotates from the closed position in the closing direction, the opening input portion S41 provided on the lid member S3 presses the pressure receiving portion S58 of the link member S55 counterclockwise. Then, the link member S55 rotates counterclockwise about the link rotation shaft S57 from the first link position shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 to the second link position shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the position of the link-side holding portion S56 of the link member S55 also changes counterclockwise. Since the lid member S3 rotates from the closed position toward the closed limit position, the lid-side holding portion S40 of the lid member S3 is still on the rear end side of the biasing guide portion S20. Therefore, at this time, the position of the link-side holding portion S56 changes in the direction away from the lid-side holding portion S40. Then, the lid-side end S51 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 held by the lid-side holding portion S40 and the link-side end S52 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 held by the link-side holding portion S56 are separated from each other to open / close. The biasing element S50 extends and accumulates the biasing force.

At this time, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 shown in FIG. 14 is pressed in the direction to be closed by the opening / closing restriction pin S43, and accumulates the biasing force.

Since the link member S55 changes position while being pressed toward the accommodation portion S15 by the link auxiliary element S66, even if a force other than the rotational direction acts on the link member S55 due to the extension of the opening / closing biasing element S50, The link member S55 operates stably.

When the occupant further presses the lid member S3 in the closing direction, the opening input portion S41 provided on the lid member S3 further pushes the pressure receiving portion S58 of the link member S55 counterclockwise, so that the link member S55 is rotated. It further rotates counterclockwise about the drive shaft S57. Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the link side end S52 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 held by the link side holding portion S56 of the link member S55 is a straight line passing through the lid side end S51 and the lid rotation shaft S34. It is placed on Ls. At this time, the opening / closing urging element S50 and the lid member S3 are in balance, and the opening / closing urging element S50 accumulates the urging force but does not urge the lid member S3 in the opening direction or the closing direction.

When the occupant further presses the lid member S3 in the closing direction, the link member S55 further rotates counterclockwise around the link rotation shaft S57, and the drive element S5 is brought into the open drive state. Specifically, at this time, as shown in FIG. 17, the link-side end S52 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 is arranged on the front side in the opening direction with respect to the straight line Ls. The link member S55 is arranged at the second link position. In the second link position, the link member S55 directs the pressure receiving portion S58 toward the upper side and the rear side, and the link side holding portion S56 toward the lower side and the front side. At this time, it can be said that the link member S55 directs the pressure receiving portion S58 toward the closing direction side and the link side holding portion S56 toward the opening direction side.

When the link-side end S52 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 is arranged on the front side in the opening direction with respect to the straight line Ls, as shown in FIG. 18, the balance between the opening / closing biasing element S50 and the lid member S3 is lost. As a result, the opening / closing biasing element S50 contracts to release the biasing force. Therefore, the lid side end portion S51 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 advances toward the front inside the biasing guide portion S20, and the lid member S3 is pulled in the opening direction by the biasing force of the opening / closing biasing element S50. Therefore, at this time, the opening / closing biasing element S50 biases the lid member S3 in the opening direction, and the lid member S3 starts rotating toward the open position. The rotation of the lid member S3 is also urged when the pressing force from the occupant disappears and the urging force accumulated in the opening / closing assist urging member S69 is released.

Note that when the link member S55 changes position to the second link position shown in FIG. 17, the lock engaging portion S65 of the second lock body S62 engages with the lock groove S59 of the link member S55. Therefore, at this time, the link member S55 is locked at the second link position, and only the lid member S3 rotates from the close limit position shown in FIG. 17 toward the open position shown in FIG.

When the lid member S3 rotates to the open position shown in FIG. 19, the rear side of the pressure receiving portion S58 of the link member S55, that is, the rear of the link member S55 in the rotation direction from the second link position to the first link position. The closed input portion S42 provided on the lid member S3 is disposed on the side.

When the lid member S3 in the modified lid device is in the open position, some opening force remains in the opening / closing biasing element S50. Therefore, the lid member S3 is held in the open position by the action of the opening / closing biasing element S50 so that it is difficult to rotate in the closing direction at this time. Further, at this time, the further rotation of the lid member S3 in the opening direction is restricted by the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69. This also holds the lid member S3 in the open position.

When the lid member S3 is placed in the open position, the open / close area S11 is opened and the holder portion S31 of the lid member S3 is exposed. Then, it becomes possible to store and hold the beverage container in the holder portion S31.

As shown in FIG. 20, when the occupant pushes the upper part of the front side of the lid member S3 in the open position downward, a force in the opening direction is further applied to the lid member S3. When the pressing force at this time exceeds the urging force of the opening / closing assisting urging member S69, the lid member S3 further rotates in the opening direction from the open position toward the open limit position shown in FIG.

When the lid member S3 is further rotated in the opening direction from the open position, the lid side holding portion S40 provided on the lid member S3 presses the second lock body S62 toward the right side in FIG. The lock between the lock locking portion S65 of the lock body S62 and the lock groove S59 of the link member S55 is released. Therefore, the lock of the link member S55 by the second lock body S62 is released, and the link member S55 becomes rotatable.

Further, at this time, when the lid member S3 is further rotated in the opening direction from the open position, the closing input portion S42 provided on the lid member S3 presses the pressure receiving portion S58 of the link member S55 clockwise. Therefore, the link member S55 rotates clockwise about the link rotation shaft S57 from the second link position toward the first link position. At this time, the link side holding portion S56 of the link member S55 also changes its position in the clockwise direction, so that the opening / closing biasing element S50 expands and accumulates the biasing force. The opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 is also pressed by the opening / closing regulating pin S43 and accumulates the biasing force.

When the lid member S3 pressed by the occupant rotates in the opening direction, the link member S55 rotates clockwise, and the link side of the opening / closing biasing element S50 held by the link side holding portion S56 of the link member S55. As shown in FIG. 20, the end portion S52 is arranged on a straight line Ls passing through the lid side end portion S51 and the lid rotation axis S34. When the pressed lid member S3 further rotates in the opening direction, the link member S55 also further rotates clockwise, and the drive element S5 enters the closed drive state. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21, the link-side end S52 of the opening / closing biasing element S50 is arranged on the front side in the closing direction with respect to the straight line Ls. Therefore, the lid member S3 is pulled in the closing direction by the urging force of the opening / closing urging element S50, and starts to rotate toward the closed position as shown in FIG. At this time, the link member S55 is arranged at the first link position.

In this way, according to the modified lid device, the lid member S3 biased by the opening / closing biasing element S50 automatically rotates between the open position and the closed position. The operation required for the occupant to open and close the lid member S3 is only to press the lid member S3 in the closed position and to press the lid member S3 in the open position. Therefore, it can be said that the modified lid device is excellent in operation.

The lid device of the modified form has the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 for stably holding the lid member S3 in the open position and the closed position, respectively. However, in the lid device of the present modified form, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 is not always required. Not required. For example, if the center of gravity of the lid member S3 and the urging force of the opening / closing urging element S50 when the lid member S3 is at the open position and the closed position are appropriately adjusted, the lid member urging member S69 need not be provided. S3 can be stably held in the open position and the closed position, respectively. Further, the opening / closing assisting biasing member S69 only restricts the rotation of the lid member S3 in the closed position in the further closing direction, or the lid opening member S3 in the open position moves in the further opening direction. The rotation may be restricted.

The link auxiliary element S66 is not essential in the lid device of this modification. For example, a sliding member is attached near the rotation axis of the link member S55, or a relatively large mass is used as the link member S55 to appropriately adjust the sliding resistance of the link member S55, thereby assisting the link assistance. The link member S55 can be stably operated without the element S66.

The rotation angle between the open position and the closed position of the lid member S3 in the modified lid device is about 87 °. According to the modified lid device, since the lid member S3 pivots between the open position and the closed position at a relatively small angle, the lid device is not bulky even in the open position, thus saving space.
