Hereinafter, a typical embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 10. The hook device 1 according to this embodiment is typically installed in a vehicle interior of a vehicle such as a passenger car, and is used in the vehicle interior as a hook for hooking objects to be hooked, as well as for pinching objects to be pinched. It can also be used as a pinch for attachment.

Typically, such a hook device 1 is attached to a movable body located at a reference position, which will be described later, on the side of a console box installed in the vehicle interior, the front end of an armrest, a seat back, a door trim, etc. By connecting the outer surfaces of the free ends of the base body 3 and incorporating a base body 3, which will be described later, into the inside of the base body 3, the vehicle interior can be installed.

When used as a hook, typically, a handle portion of various articles such as a bag or a shopping bag is attached to the free end 6 of the movable body 2 that protrudes from the design surface by the first movement operation as described below. or by hooking the loop part.

When used as a pinch, a part of the object to be pinched is introduced between the first clamping part 8 of the movable body 2 which is subjected to the second movement operation and the second clamping part 28 of the base body 3 as described later. Thereafter, by stopping the second moving operation, a part of the object to be clamped is clamped and held between the first clamping part 8 and the second clamping part 28.

The hook device 1 includes a movable body 2, a base body 3, and a biasing means 4.

The movable body 2 has a base fixed to the vehicle main body, with a first edge of the free end 6 serving as a support part 7 to be hooked, a second edge on the side of the free end 6 serving as a first clamping part 8 to be clamped. A first movement operation (see FIG. 6) of the free end 6 toward the hooking use from the reference position (see FIG. 5) with respect to the body 3, and a first movement operation toward the pinching use from the reference position. The movement operation can be combined with a second movement operation of the free end 6 in the opposite direction (see FIG. 9).

In the illustrated embodiment, the movable body 2 uses, as a reference, an imaginary center line It is combined with the base body 3 in a state in which it is obliquely offset so that an angle θ is formed between it and the vertical line y on the right side in FIG. The support portion 7 is formed on a first edge sandwiching the center line x, and the first holding portion 8 is formed on a second edge sandwiching the center line x.

From this reference position, the movable body 2 can first be moved clockwise in FIG. 5 to a position where the center line x is horizontal (see FIG. 7).
Further, from the reference position, the movable body 2 can be secondly moved counterclockwise in FIG. 5 so as to reduce the angle θ (see FIG. 9).

The base body 3 supports the movable body 2 so as to enable a first movement operation from the reference position and a second movement operation from the reference position.

In the illustrated embodiment, the base body 3 has a design portion 19 having an inclination with the right side in FIG. It is provided with a feeding opening 20 of. Further, the base body 3 has an internal space 21 below the design portion 19 in which a portion below the free end 6 of the movable body 2 located at the reference position is accommodated. This internal space 21 is formed by a pair of side plates 22 located below the design part 19. The thickness of the base body 3 is formed by the pair of side plates 22 . The base body 3 is built into a console box CB or the like so that the design portion 19 is connected to a design surface CBa of the console box CB or the like. Thereby, the outer surface of the free end 6 of the movable body 2 located at the reference position is also disposed so as to be continuous with the design surface Cba (see FIG. 5). In FIG. 1, reference numeral 23 indicates a tab portion provided with a through hole for a screw or the like for fixing the hook device 1 to the console box CB or the like.

The biasing means 4 stores a biasing force in the direction of moving the movable body 2 back toward the reference position when either the first movement operation or the second movement operation is performed. It is configured as follows.

In the illustrated embodiment, the biasing means 4 is housed in the internal space 21 of the base body 3 so as to be located on the side of the movable body 2.

In the illustrated embodiment, the biasing means 4 rotatably connects the first end 29 of the spring to the movable body 2 and rotatably connects the second end 30 of the spring to the base body 3. It is a torsion coil spring in which the spring winding portion 31 (coil portion) is movably housed within the base body 3. As an example of the biasing means 4, a compression spring can also be mentioned.

In the illustrated embodiment, the torsion coil spring is housed in the base body 3 such that the center axis of the spring winding portion 31 is along the thickness direction z of the base body 3 (see FIG. 1). . Further, the spring winding part 31 is located above the first end 29 of the spring and the second end 30 of the spring, and the first end 29 of the spring and the second end 30 of the spring are both connected to the winding part 31 of the spring. It is housed in the base body 3 so as to be positioned downward. The first end 29 of the spring and the second end 30 of the spring both protrude along the thickness direction z of the base body 3 by bending the ends of the spring component wire pulled out downward from the spring winding part 31. They are inserted into through holes 10 and 24 (see FIGS. 2 and 1) formed in the side plates 22 of the movable body 2 and the base body 3, and are rotatably linked as described above.

The spring winding portion 31 of the torsion coil spring is not fixed to the base body 3 and the movable body 2, and is in a free state within the base body 3. Therefore, when the movable body 2 is first moved from the reference position, the position of the spring winding portion 31 moves to the left of the position shown in FIG. 5 (see FIG. 7), and the movable body 2 moves from the reference position to When the second movement operation is performed, it moves to the right side of the position shown in FIG. 5 (see FIG. 9).

The distance between the first end 29 and the second end 30 of the torsion coil spring is the same when the movable body 2 is moved from the reference position in the first movement operation and when the movable body 2 is moved from the reference position in the second movement operation. At any time when the movement operation is performed, it is expanded further than when it is at the reference position. As a result, when either the first movement operation or the second movement operation is performed, a biasing force for moving the movable body 2 back toward the reference position is stored in the torsion coil spring. It is now possible to do so.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, by performing a first movement operation of the movable body 2 from the reference position, it becomes possible to hook an object to the support portion 7 of the movable body 2 (use as a hook). By this first movement operation, a biasing force for moving the movable body 2 back to the reference position is stored in the biasing means 4, so when the hooking object is stopped, the movable body 2 returns to the reference position. Automatically returns.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, by performing a second movement operation of the movable body 2 from the reference position, it is possible to pinch the object to be pinched using the first clamping part 8 of the movable body 2. (use as a pinch). This second movement operation also causes a biasing force in the direction of moving the movable body 2 back to the reference position to be stored in the biasing means 4, so that the target to be pinched is pinched by this biasing force. When the pinching of the pinching object is stopped, the movable body 2 is automatically moved back to the reference position in this case as well.
According to the hook device 1, the hook function and the pinch function can be rationally realized from three parts: the movable body 2, the base body 3, and the biasing means 4, and the hook device 1 can be mounted on the vehicle side. Miniaturization depending on the location can be achieved without any problem.
