Benefits of technology

[0018] In the first aspect of the present invention, the pressing stroke of the pressing device can be reduced by a portion corresponding to the displacement of the drawer member resulting from the abutment of the rotating member with the abutted section, as compared to a case that the pressing device directly presses and ejects the drawer member from the opening of the case.
[0036] In the seventh aspect, the coil spring is used as the pressing device to reduce cost as compared to a constant force spring. In addition, configuring the unit with a shortened pressing stroke prevents the spring from buckling.

Problems solved by technology

The constant spring 212 is an expensive part, thereby increasing cost of the container holder 222.

Embodiment Construction

[0049] Hereunder, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] FIGS. 1 to 4(A) and 4(B) illustrate a container holder 10 to which a drawer device is applied. The container holder 10 is installed in a center console arranged between a driver seat and a front passenger seat (not shown). The container holder 10 is formed of a case 12 housed within a recess formed in the center console, a holder 14 housed in the case 12, and a slider 16 that moves within the case 12 to cause the holder 14 to eject and retract.

[0051] The case 12 is roughly box-shaped, and has a polygonal opening 15 formed at a top thereof and a rectangular opening 18 formed in one of longitudinal end surfaces thereof. A latching projection 20 projects from a center of the other longitudinal end surface of the case 12 in the longitudinal direction of the case 12 for engaging a counterpart formed in the recess of the center console.

Abstract

A drawer device includes a case, and a drawer member housed in the case and capable of withdrawing from and retracting into an opening of the case. A rotating member is disposed within the case for converting linear displacement into rotation, and a pressing device presses the rotating member in a direction of the linear displacement toward a withdrawing direction of the drawer member. An abutting section is disposed at the drawer member for abutting against the rotating member for converting rotation of the rotating member into displacement of the drawer member in the withdrawing or retracting direction. A latching device latches the drawer member to the case when the drawer member is housed within the case and unlatches when the drawer member is pressed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND RELATED ART STATEMENT [0001] The present invention relates to a drawer device having a drawer member disposed in a case with an opening and capable of withdrawing from and retracting through the opening. [0002] In a drawer device having a drawer member that can be withdrawn from and retracted into an opening, such as a container holder or ash tray, the drawer member projects from the opening to thereby become available for use when a front surface of the drawer member, exposed at the opening while the drawer member is housed in the case, is pressed and released from the housed condition. [0003] For example, in a device disclosed in Patent Reference 1, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12(A), a reel 202 is provided as a device for withdrawing a holder 200. A center shaft 204 of the reel 202 is pivoted on a base body 208 fixed to the holder 200 so as to freely turn, and a gear 210 is fastened at one end of the center shaft 204. A damper 220 is fastened to the ba...
