Technical Field

The present invention relates to a beverage container holding device for holding a beverage container and a console box having the beverage container holding device mounted thereon.

Background

For example, a beverage container holding device for holding a beverage container is sometimes mounted on a vehicle such as a vehicle. Some of the beverage container holding devices are provided in a console box disposed at the front center of the vehicle compartment. As a conventional technique related to a beverage container holding device, there is a technique disclosed in japanese laid-open patent publication No. 2018-65510.

The beverage container holding device shown in japanese laid-open patent publication No. 2018-65510 is provided on an instrument panel in front of a vehicle interior, and is pulled out into the vehicle interior for use. The occupant can pull the beverage container holder out of the instrument panel and insert the beverage container into the beverage container holder from above.

The beverage container holding device disclosed in Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2000-127832 is provided with: a holder body having a substantially U-shaped storage section that is opened upward and rearward so as to be able to store a beverage container and that has a bottom surface on the front side in a plan view; and a rotating member that is provided so as to be able to enter and exit with respect to a housing portion that is supported by the holder main body so as to be able to swing in the horizontal direction.

Refer to fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a view illustrating a problem of the beverage container holding device disclosed in japanese unexamined patent application publication No. 2018-65510. The seated person inserts the beverage container Co from above into the holding portion 131 that houses the beverage container Co. When the beverage container Co is inserted, it is difficult to visually confirm the position of the holding portion 131 due to the beverage container Co. Therefore, when the beverage container Co is inserted into the holding portion 131, the bottom surface of the beverage container Co may contact the edge 131a of the holding portion 131. If the holding portion 131 is enlarged, the gap between the holding portion and the beverage container Co becomes large, and the beverage container Co moves in the holding portion 131.

In this regard, the beverage container holding device of japanese patent application laid-open No. 2000-127832 is a device for inserting a beverage container so that the beverage container is slid from the rear of the beverage container holding device toward the front. The rotating member is arranged at the rear end, and the beverage container can be prevented from contacting with the edge of the holding part according to the width of the rotating member.

However, when the vehicle is traveling, a force for moving the beverage container is applied to the front and rear or the left and right. According to the beverage container holding device disclosed in Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2000-127832, when the beverage container moves toward the rotary member, the beverage container may fly out of the holding portion.

< example >

Refer to fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a console box 10 extending rearward in the traveling direction from the front center of the vehicle compartment, and a beverage container holder 20 provided at the front of the console box 10. The console boxes 10 are respectively disposed between the left and right seats on which the occupants sit, and can accommodate the loads of the occupants.

The console box 10 includes: a beverage container holding device 20 for holding a beverage container; a tray 12 which is continuous with the rear end of the beverage container holder 20 and on which articles such as small articles can be placed; and an armrest 13 positioned behind the tray 12 and on which the occupant can place his or her arms.

The beverage container holder 20 and the upper portion of the tray 12 are exposed in the vehicle interior. In other words, the beverage container holder 20 and the upper portion of the tray 12 are open.

Refer to fig. 2 and 3. The beverage container holder 20 includes: a holder main body 30 fixed to the console box 10 (see fig. 1); left and right 1 st rotating members 40, 40 rotatably supported by the holder main body 30; and a 2 nd rotating member 60 rotatably supported by the holder main body 30 and located in front of the 1 st rotating members 40, 40.

A storage portion 31 that is opened upward and rearward and can store a beverage container is formed in the holder main body 30. The storage portion 31 is formed at a position shifted to the right side (driver seat side) of the center of the holder main body 30 in the left-right direction. The storage portion 31 has a substantially U-shape with a bottom surface at the tip. In addition, the boundary portion between the bottom surface and the side wall of the U-shape may be formed in an angular shape. In other words, the substantially U-shape also includes a shape in which the boundary portion between the bottom surface and the side wall is formed in an angular shape. Side wall holes 31a and 31a in which the 1 st rotating members 40 and 40 are located are formed in the left and right side walls of the housing 31, respectively. A front wall hole 31b in which the 2 nd rotating member 60 is located is formed in the center of the front end of the housing 31.

The side wall holes 31a and 31a are each a substantially rectangular hole that is long in the front-rear direction. The front wall hole 31b is a substantially rectangular hole that is long in the vertical direction. The front wall hole 31b is located forward of the side wall holes 31a and 31 a.

Refer to fig. 3. The left and right 1 st rotating members 40, 40 are disposed facing each other with the housing 31 interposed therebetween. Further, the left and right 1 st rotating members 40, 40 are separated from each other.

The left 1 st rotating member 40 includes: a 1 st support member 41 fixed to the holder main body 30; a 1 st shaft member 42 supported by the 1 st support member 41 and extending vertically; a 1 st urging member 43 disposed on the 1 st shaft member 42; and a 1 st body portion 50 that is biased toward the housing portion 31 by the 1 st biasing member 43 and is rotatably supported by the 1 st shaft member 42. The 1 st shaft member 42 may be formed integrally with the 1 st support member 41 or the 1 st body 50.

Refer to fig. 4. The 1 st support member 41 on the left side includes a stopper 41a, and the stopper 41a abuts on an end portion of the 1 st main body 50 to restrict the clockwise rotation of the 1 st main body 50. In other words, the stopper portion 41a is formed integrally with the 1 st supporting member 41.

Refer to fig. 5. The 1 st body 50 is provided in the sidewall hole 31a and can be inserted into and removed from the housing 31. The 1 st main body 50 includes: a 1 st rear wall 51 having one end abutting against the stopper portion 41a and extending toward the center in the left-right direction; a rear abutment surface portion 52 extending from the tip end of the 1 st rear wall portion 51 toward the housing portion 31 in an inclined manner, and against which the beverage container Co can abut when the beverage container Co is inserted; a front abutment surface portion 53 extending from the front end of the rear abutment surface portion 52 obliquely toward the 1 st support member 41 and against which the beverage container Co already stored in the storage portion 31 can abut; and a 1 st front wall portion 54 extending outward from the front end of the front abutment surface portion 53.

The rear abutment surface portion 52 is formed in a planar shape. However, the curved shape may be concave or convex.

The front contact surface portion 53 has a curved shape. The front abutment surface portion 53 has an abutment portion 53a against which the beverage container Co accommodated in the accommodation portion 31 abuts. The front contact surface portion 53 forms an obtuse angle with an imaginary line IL extending from the center C1 of the 1 st shaft member 42 to the contact portion 53a at the contact portion 53 a.

Reference is also made to fig. 6. The front contact surface portion 53 includes a plurality of (e.g., 4) contact portions 53a, 53b, 53c, and 53d corresponding to the diameter of the beverage container Co. In each of the contact portions 53a, 53b, 53C, and 53d, the front contact surface portion 53 forms an obtuse angle with an imaginary line IL extending from the center C1 of the 1 st shaft member 42 to the contact portion 53 a. That is, an angle θ 1 formed by a line segment (imaginary line IL) from the center of the 1 st shaft member 42 to the contact portion 53a and a half-straight line HL extending rearward from the contact portion 53a along a tangent to the contact portion 53a is an obtuse angle. Theta 1 is greater than 90 deg.

Refer to fig. 7A. The same applies to the basic structure of the right-hand 1 st rotating member 40, and the reference numerals are used for the same and detailed description thereof is omitted. Here, the shape of the 1 st body 50, 50 of the 1 st rotating member 40 on the left side and the 1 st rotating member 40 on the right side and the direction in which the 1 st body 50, 50 can rotate are different. The right 1 st body 50 can rotate only in the clockwise direction from the illustrated state.

When the beverage container Co is inserted into the housing 31, the direction in which the 1 st main body 50, 50 rotates is referred to as the 1 st direction. The 1 st direction of the 1 st body 50 on the left side is counterclockwise, and the 1 st direction of the 1 st body 50 on the right side is clockwise. On the other hand, a direction rotating in a direction opposite to the 1 st direction is referred to as a reverse direction. In a state where the beverage container Co is not stored in the storage portion 31, the rotation of the 1 st main body 50, 50 in the reverse direction is restricted by the stopper portions 41a, respectively.

The left and right 1 st rotating members 40, 40 can be formed in different shapes as appropriate, but the purpose and function are the same. The left and right 1 st rotating members 40, 40 may be formed in a left-right symmetrical shape.

Refer to fig. 4. Extensions EL and EL of the left and right rear abutment surface portions 52 and 52 intersect a center line CL extending in the front-rear direction along the center in the left-right direction of the housing portion 31 at the same angle.

The 2 nd rotating member 60 includes: a 2 nd support member 61 fixed to the holder main body 30; a 2 nd shaft member 62 supported by the 2 nd support member 61 and extending in the left and right direction; a 2 nd urging member 63 disposed on the 2 nd shaft member 62; and a 2 nd body 64 rotatably supported by the 2 nd shaft member 62 and biased toward the housing 31 by the 2 nd biasing member 63. The 2 nd shaft member 62 may be formed integrally with the 2 nd support member 61 or the 2 nd body 64.

The 2 nd body portion 64 is provided in a front wall hole 31b formed in the center of the bottom surface of the housing portion 31, and is movable in and out of the housing portion 31. The 2 nd body part 64 can swing in the front-rear direction in accordance with the diameter of the beverage container Co. The 2 nd body part 64 has a 2 nd abutment surface part 64a which can abut against the beverage container Co accommodated in the accommodation part 31. The 2 nd abutment surface portion 64a has a curved shape. The 2 nd abutment surface portion 64a may be planar.

Refer to fig. 7A. For example, when the occupant holds the beverage container Co in the beverage container holding device 20, the occupant slides the beverage container Co from above the tray 12 toward the receiving portion 31. Even after the rear abutment surface portions 52, 52 abut against each other, the beverage container Co is advanced against the urging force of the 1 st body portions 50, 50. The beverage container Co can be held by inserting the beverage container Co into the housing portion 31.

Refer to fig. 7B. The beverage container Co is held at three points by the front contact surface portions 53 and the 2 nd contact surface portion 64a in a state of being positioned in the housing portion 31. Reference is also made to fig. 6. Since the 2 nd body part 64 swings in accordance with the position of the beverage container Co, the position changes depending on the diameter of the beverage container Co. On the other hand, after the beverage container Co is inserted into the housing 31, the positions of the 1 st main bodies 50 and 50 are not changed.

When the beverage container Co is taken out from the housing portion 31, the seated person pulls the beverage container Co upward. This enables the beverage container Co to be taken out from the housing portion 31.

The effects of the beverage container holding device 20 described above will be described.

Refer to fig. 7A. The beverage container holding device 20 includes the 1 st rotating members 40, and the 1 st rotating members 40, 40 are provided so as to be movable in and out of the storage portion 31 opened rearward. The beverage container Co can be inserted into the housing portion 31 so as to slide from the rear of the holder body toward the front. Since the beverage container is prevented from contacting the edge of the housing 31 by the width of the 1 st rotating member 40, the beverage container Co can be easily inserted.

Refer to fig. 8A. Fig. 8A shows a beverage container holding apparatus 120 of a comparative example. In the beverage container holding device 120, the front contact surface portion 53 forms an acute angle with an imaginary line IL2 extending from the center C2 of the 1 st shaft member 142 to the contact portion 153a at the contact portion 53 a. That is, an angle θ 2 formed by a line segment (imaginary line IL2) from the center C2 of the 1 st shaft member 142 to the contact portion 153a and a half-straight line HL2 extending rearward from the contact portion 153a along a tangent to the contact portion 153a is an acute angle. Theta 2 is less than 90 degrees.

In this state, when a backward force is applied to the beverage container Co, the backward force is transmitted to the abutting portion 153 a. The inclination angle of the front abutment surface portion 153 of the abutment portion 153a is acute with respect to the imaginary line IL 2. At this time, a force F2 is generated in the contact portion 153a outward of the center C2 of the 1 st shaft member 142. Thereby applying a force to the 1 st body part 150 to rotate in the 1 st direction. That is, a force is applied to rotate the 1 st body part 150 in a direction in which it can swing. Thereby, the 1 st body part 150 rotates so that the front contact surface part 153 slides against the surface of the beverage container Co. As a result of the displacement of the front contact surface portion 153, the beverage container Co may fly out of the housing portion 31 (see fig. 4).

Refer to fig. 8B. Fig. 8B shows the beverage container holding apparatus 20 of the embodiment. The front contact surface portion 53 forms an obtuse angle with a virtual line IL extending from the center C1 of the 1 st shaft member 42 to the contact portion 53a at the contact portion 53 a. When a rearward force is applied to the beverage container Co, the rearward force is transmitted to the abutting portion 53 a. The inclination angle θ 1 of the front contact surface portion 53 of the contact portion 53a is obtuse with respect to the imaginary line IL. At this time, a force F1 is generated in the contact portion 53a inward of C2 with respect to the center of the 1 st shaft member 42. This applies a force to the 1 st body 50 to rotate in the reverse direction.

Refer to fig. 7B. The rotation in the reverse direction is restricted by the stopper 41 a. The beverage container holding device 20 can be provided which can reliably hold the beverage container Co while easily inserting the beverage container Co.

The 1 st rotating members 40, 40 are separated from each other in a state of protruding toward the housing portion 31, and at least two of the 1 st rotating members 40, 40 are provided at positions facing each other. Thus, the beverage container holder 20 can hold a beverage container Co having a handle portion Co1, such as a mug.

The 2 nd body part 64 includes a 2 nd abutment surface part 64a which can abut against the beverage container Co accommodated in the accommodation part 31. This allows the beverage container Co to be held by the 1 st rotating members 40, 40 and the 2 nd rotating member 60. Since the beverage container Co is brought into contact with a plurality of portions, the beverage container Co can be stably held.

In particular, the 1 st rotating members 40 and the 2 nd rotating member 60 are arranged in an isosceles triangle having the 2 nd rotating member 60 as a vertex. The force applied from the 2 nd rotating member 60 to the beverage container Co is equally transmitted to the two 1 st rotating members 40 and 40. It is preferable that the beverage container Co can be held at 3 points and the forces applied to the respective rotating members 40, and 60 can be more equalized.

Reference is also made to fig. 6. The front contact surface portions 53 and 53 include a plurality of contact portions 53a and 53a corresponding to the diameter of the beverage container Co, and are curved. The diameters of the beverage containers Co accommodated in the accommodation portion 31 are various. If the diameters of the beverage containers Co are different, the positions of the abutting portions 53a, 53a are also different. The front contact surface portions 53 and 53 include a plurality of contact portions 53a and 53a corresponding to the diameter of the beverage container Co, and are curved, so that the beverage container Co can be more reliably prevented from flying out of the housing portion 31.

Refer to fig. 1. The bottom surface of the holder main body 30 (the bottom surface of the housing portion 31) is located on the forward side in the traveling direction. Therefore, the beverage container can be easily inserted from the driver seat or the passenger seat.

The console box 10 further includes a tray 12, and the tray 12 is provided continuously to the rear end of the beverage container holder 20, has an open upper side, and can be loaded with goods. A large space can be secured behind the beverage container holding device 20. The beverage container can be inserted from above the tray 12 toward the beverage container holding device 20, and high operability can be ensured. Further, when a small article such as a coin is erroneously dropped into the storage section 31, a hand can be inserted into the storage section 31 from the tray 12 side to pick up the small article. Further, small articles can be easily moved from the storage section 31 into the tray 12.

The beverage container holding device of the present invention can be applied to vehicles other than vehicles, construction machines, and the like. Further, in the embodiment, the description is made based on the example in which the rear portion of the beverage container holding device coincides with the rear of the traveling direction of the vehicle, but these do not necessarily need to coincide. That is, the beverage container holder may be disposed so that the front-rear direction thereof faces the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the beverage container may be inserted in the left-right direction with reference to the vehicle. In the present invention, it is important to insert the beverage container from the rear of the beverage container holder and take it out upward.

Although the example in which the beverage container holding device of the present invention is mounted on the console box has been described as an example, the beverage container holding device of the present invention can be applied to an instrument panel, a door trim, and the like.

That is, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments as long as the functions and effects of the present invention are exerted.

Industrial applicability

The beverage container holding device of the present invention is applied to a passenger vehicle.
