Embodiment Construction

[0030] In the various figures, the same elements bear the same reference numerals.

[0031] 2 and 3 show a cup holder 1 according to the invention comprising a drawer 2 slidable in a sliding direction D within a substantially parallelepiped hollow body 3 .

[0032] The drawer 2 is movable from the closed position shown in FIG. 2 to the open position shown in FIG. 3 . In the closed position, the drawer body 2 is retracted into the body 3 . In the open position, the drawer body 2 has a portion 2 .

[0033] According to the invention, the length L1 of the extension 2.1 (corresponding to the extension stroke of the drawer body 2) is smaller than the diameter of the cup 6 to be accommodated, in particular, the length L1 is smaller than the diameter of the smallest cup 6 that can be accommodated. In one embodiment, the smallest cup to be contained is a cylindrical bottle with a diameter of about 66 mm.

[0034] More precisely, the drawer body 2 , which extends in the extension pl...

Abstract

The invention essentially relates to a cup holder (1) for receiving a vessel (6). The cup holder (1) includes a drawer (2) capable of sliding inside a body (3) so as to move identically between a closed position and an open position. According to the invention, the drawer (2) locally comprises an outer outline (9) in the shape of an open arc of a circle that engages a partial perimeter (C1) of the vessel (6). The cup holder further includes a stowable front (4) that is flush with a side of the drawer (2) when the drawer (2) is in the closed position, and that is in an inclined position relative to the drawer (2) when said drawer (2) is in the open position in order to hold the base of the vessel (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a compact cup holder with a retractable front. In particular, the invention aims at limiting the space requirement of such a device in terms of length. The invention can be used in a particularly advantageous manner, but not exclusively, by means of a cup holder which is intended to be fitted in the central region of the dashboard of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] The term tumbler is used to mean a cylindrical or slightly widened drinking vessel, usually without a handle and without a foot. However, the cup holder according to the present invention is capable of receiving containers of any shape, which may or may not be provided with handles or feet. [0003] As shown in sectional view in FIG. 1 , a cup holder 1 is known which comprises a drawer 2 which can slide inside the body 3 in order to move from a closed position in which the drawer 2 retracts into the interior of the body to Open position, in ...
