Description

The invention relates to a container holder for a vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a container holder arrangement for a vehicle, having at least one such container holder.Container holders and container holder assemblies for vehicles are known in numerous variations. Container holders, preferably for beverage containers, are known from the prior art, in particular in the region of the central console. These are usually provided for holding two containers and are designed in a wide variety of ways. When designing the container holders, it is usually ensured that there is a certain variability with respect to the containers to be accommodated. Depending on the market of sales, a considerable spread must be taken into account, from a narrow beverage can with a holding volume of one quarter litre to large fast food cups with a holding volume of one litre or more. Depending on the design and installation position, the known container holders require installation space which is generally deficient in the interior of the vehicle and is occupied by a wide variety of components to be accommodated.DE 195 19 602 C1 discloses an armrest for a vehicle seat, having a drinking vessel holder arranged at the front end with a placement surface for a drinking vessel and a retaining bracket for clamping the drinking vessel. For the purpose of simple production with a short assembly time from a manufacturing standpoint, an insert preferably made of plastic is embedded in the armrest contour for realizing the drinking vessel holder, which insert has a base forming the placement surface for the drinking vessel and an arcuate rear wall running approximately at right angles thereto. The holding bracket is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis which is fixed at the front end of the base remote from the rear wall and is aligned transversely to the armrest axis and is designed such that it folds onto the rear wall with a bracket portion remote from the pivot axis under spring prestress in the absence of a drinking vessel.From GB 2511170 A a cup holder for a vehicle is known, which comprises a base element configured to support a cup container in an operating position of the cup holder. Two arms stabilize the beverage container in the working position of the beverage holder. The two arms each consist of at least two segments. A first segment is pivotally disposed about a first axis of rotation on a second segment. Each arm is foldable into a storage position of the cupholder. The base member may include a lever connected to the second segment by a connecting member. The base member may rotate about a second axis of rotation that is parallel to the first axis of rotation. At least one of the arms may be mounted on a slide member, which may comprise a rack. The slider is movable by rotation of a shaft comprising a pinion engaged with the rack. The shaft may be rotated by rotating the base member via a pair of intermeshing bevel gears.DE 10 2021 109 771 A1 discloses a vehicle component having at least one receiving device which is displaceable or pivotable in a drawer-like manner from a retracted position, in which it is arranged within the vehicle component, into an extended position, in which it protrudes at least partially into the region outside the vehicle component, and vice versa. The receiving device preferably comprises a storage area for storing a beverage container. The storage area can have a depression, which is preferably circular or cylindrical. This depression makes it possible to place beverage cans, coffee cups or the like on the extended receiving device or to set them in the depression, whereby lateral slipping and dropping of the beverage can be prevented. Furthermore, a fastening means, by means of which the beverage container can be fastened, in particular clampingly, to the receiving device, and / or an anti-slip coating of the storage area can be provided.The invention is based on the object of providing a container holder for a vehicle and a container holder arrangement for a vehicle having at least one such container holder, which is of simple and space-saving construction.This object is achieved by a container holder for a vehicle having the features of claim 1 and by a container holder arrangement for a vehicle having the features of claim 9. Advantageous embodiments with expedient developments of the invention are specified in the dependent patent claims.In order to provide a container holder for a vehicle which is constructed in a simple and space-saving manner, the container holder has a housing which is open at least on one side and at least two receiving elements which are arranged opposite one another and are each mounted pivotably about a horizontal axis of rotation between a closed position and a receiving position. A first receiving element is mounted fixedly in its receiving position, and at least one opposing further receiving element is movable flexibly from a first receiving position into a maximum receiving position against a force of at least one spring element. The first receiving element at least partially covers the at least one opposite further receiving element in the closed position such that a planar surface is produced and an opening in the housing is covered. In this case, the first receiving element has, in the receiving position, at least one receiving contour for at least one set container, and the at least one further receiving element lying opposite has at least one retaining element which has at least one supporting contour for at least one set container and is designed to adapt to set containers having different dimensions.In addition, a container holder arrangement for a vehicle is proposed, having at least one vehicle component which is arranged in the interior of the vehicle and has at least one bearing surface, and at least one such container holder which is integrated into the at least one vehicle component in such a way that the planar surface formed by the two receiving elements in the closed position is arranged in alignment with the at least one bearing surface of the vehicle component.Embodiments of the invention provide a flat-build container holder for installation on surfaces with a narrow range of depth space. When the container holder is not used, a planar surface without disruptive elevations or contours can be formed by the at least two oppositely disposed receiving elements in the closed position. When using the container holder, the at least two opposing receiving elements can simultaneously receive and hold different beverage containers in the receiving position. Due to the at least partial overlap of the at least two receiving elements in the closed position, these may have a sufficient length in the receiving position to hold or support an adjusted container at a suitable height.Embodiments of the invention have a high variability with respect to the beverage containers to be accommodated and good holding properties. Advantageously, embodiments of the invention allow intuitive actuation directly at the receiving elements. Due to the very low overall height and a good "package compatibility" associated therewith, a high interior variability results in the localization of the container holder in the vehicle interior.The vehicle component can be designed, for example, as a central armrest of a seat arrangement or as a central console or as a door cladding.This means that the at least one container holder can be arranged in the center console between the seats of a first row of seats or preferably in the central armrest of a second or third row of seats of a vehicle.A center armrest which can be folded out of a so-called fifth seat in the center of a rear seat arrangement has a loading function in which a loading opening for long items to be transported is released in the transition to the trunk, an armrest function in which a forearm of an occupant can be placed comfortably on the center armrest, and a container holder function in which up to two beverage containers can be held. In addition, a table element can be integrated into the central armrest. With or without a table, the task is above all to provide the customer with a beverage holder which fully fulfills his expectation when in use, but also does not adversely affect comfort features when not in use, i.e. in the specific case forms a planar, pleasant surface for the support of the forearm and, in the folded-up state of the middle armrest, allows comfortable cushioning of the same in its function as a backrest without painlessly perceptible hard contours. Embodiments of the container holder are designed to be flat with a low height in the closed position and therefore meet these requirements in an advantageous manner, with simultaneous simplicity and robustness.In an advantageous embodiment of the container holder, the at least one opposing further receiving element can have a step which receives the overlap of the first receiving element. In this case, a geometric shape of the overlap formed on the first receiving element and a geometric shape of the step formed on the at least one opposite further receiving element can each be adapted to one another such that the planar surface is formed in the closed position.In a further advantageous embodiment of the container holder, the first receiving element and the at least one opposite further receiving element can be mechanically positively coupled to one another via a coupling gear. In this case, the first receiving element can be movable manually from the closed position into the receiving position and / or from the receiving position into the closed position, and the at least one further receiving element lying opposite can follow the manual movement of the first receiving element on account of the forced coupling via the coupling transmission. By means of the mechanical positive coupling of the at least two receiving elements, the opening and closing behavior of the container holder can be defined and mechanically synchronized. In addition, the positive coupling enables simple operability by opening and closing the beverage holder in a single operating operation.In a further advantageous embodiment of the container holder, the coupling gear can be designed such that the at least one opposite further receiving element follows the manual movement of the first coupling element from the closed position into the receiving position only when the first receiving element has reached a predetermined angle of installation. In addition, the coupling gear can be further designed to hold the at least one opposite further receiving element in the first receiving position when the first receiving element has reached its receiving position. The at least one opposing further receiving element can be designed to be moved flexibly from the first receiving position into a maximum receiving position against a force of at least one spring element. This allows a robust and rattle-free mounting of the receiving elements in all positions by means of a constant spring prestress and a defined spring force for compensating different container diameters between the first receiving position and the maximum receiving position. In addition, the first receiving element can be mounted fixedly in its receiving position. This means that the first receiving element is completely set up in the receiving position independently of the dimension of the container to be set and preferably forms a fixed counter bearing in the direction of travel. In addition, the first receiving position of the at least one opposite further receiving element can be adapted to the dimensions of a smallest adjustable container. In addition, the maximum receiving position of the at least one opposite further receiving element can be adapted to the dimensions of a largest adjustable container.In a further advantageous embodiment of the container holder, two receiving elements can be mounted pivotably about a common horizontal axis of rotation relative to the first receiving element and can be designed such that two containers having different dimensions or having the same dimensions can be adjusted and held simultaneously. This enables a high variability of the beverage containers to be accommodated and good holding properties.The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description and the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations or alone without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, embodiments are also to be considered included and disclosed by the invention, which are not explicitly shown or explained in the figures, but which emerge from the explained embodiments and can be generated by separate combinations of features.Exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description. In the drawings, like reference numerals designate components or elements that perform like or analogous functions. Here, shows / show: FIG. 1 shows a schematic and sectional plan view of an exemplary embodiment of a container holder arrangement according to the invention for a vehicle with an exemplary embodiment of a container holder according to the invention for a vehicle in a receiving position with two differently sized containers which have been set; FIG. 2 shows a schematic plan view of the container holder according to the invention for a vehicle from FIG. 1 in a closed position; FIG. 3 shows a schematic side view of the container holder according to the invention for a vehicle from FIG. 2 in the closed position; FIG. 4 shows a schematic sectional illustration along a second axis of rotation in FIG. 2 ; FIG. 5 shows a schematic top view of the container holder according to the invention for a vehicle from FIG. 2 in the receiving position without the container set; and FIG. 6 shows a schematic side view of the container holder according to the invention for a vehicle from FIG. 5 in the receiving position.As can be seen from FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to 6, the illustrated exemplary embodiment of a container holder 10 for a vehicle comprises a housing 15 open at least on one side and at least two receiving elements 12 arranged opposite one another, which are each mounted pivotably about a horizontal axis of rotation DA 1, DA 2 between a closed position illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3 to 4 and a receiving position illustrated in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6. A first receiving element 12A is mounted fixedly in its receiving position, and at least one opposite further receiving element 12B, 12C is movable flexibly from a first receiving position into a maximum receiving position counter to a force of at least one spring element 19. In this case, the first receiving element 12A at least partially covers the at least one opposite further receiving element 12B, 12C in the closed position such that a planar surface is produced and an opening in the housing 15 is covered. The first receiving element 12A has, in the receiving position, at least one receiving contour 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 for at least one set container 7, and the at least one opposite further receiving element 12B, 12C has at least one holding element 13 which has at least one supporting contour 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 for at least one set container 7 and is designed to adapt to set containers 7 having different dimensions.As can further be seen from FIG. 1, the illustrated exemplary embodiment of a container holder arrangement 1 according to the invention for a vehicle comprises at least one vehicle component 3 which is arranged in the interior 9 of the vehicle and has at least one bearing surface 5, and at least one container holder 10 according to the invention which is integrated into the at least one vehicle component 3 in such a way that the planar surface formed by the two receiving elements 12 in the closed position is arranged in alignment with the at least one bearing surface 5 of the vehicle component 3.In the illustrated exemplary embodiment of the container holder arrangement 1, the vehicle component 3 is designed as a central armrest 3A of a seat arrangement. As can be further seen from FIG. 1, a container holder 10 is integrated into the central armrest 3A and is designed for simultaneously receiving two containers 7.In alternative embodiments of the container holder arrangement 1, which are not shown, the vehicle component 3 is designed as a central console or as a door cladding.As can be further seen from FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to 6, the housing 15 of the container holder 10 in the exemplary embodiment shown is designed as a receiving trough 15A with a circumferential collar 15.1 and a trough base 15.2, on which a set container 7 stands. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a first receiving element 12A is movable manually about a first horizontal axis of rotation DA 1 from the closed position into the receiving position and from the receiving position into the closed position. In addition, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment of the container holder 10, two receiving elements 12B, 12C are mounted pivotably about a common horizontal axis of rotation DA 2 in relation to the first receiving element 12A and are designed such that two containers 7 having different dimensions or having the same dimensions can be adjusted and held simultaneously. In the illustration in FIG. 1, a container 7 designed as a beverage can 7A is arranged between the first receiving element 12A and a second receiving element 12B and is set in the container holder 10. Between the first receiving element 12A and a third receiving element 12C, a container 7 designed as a cup 7B is arranged and set in the container holder 10.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 6, the first receiving element 12A and the two opposite further receiving elements 12B, 12C are mechanically positively coupled to one another via a coupling transmission 16. The first receiving element 12A can be moved manually from the closed position into the receiving position and / or from the receiving position into the closed position, and the two opposing further receiving elements 12B, 12C follow the manual movement of the first receiving element 12A due to the positive coupling via the coupling gear 16. In this case, the coupling gear 16 is designed such that the two opposite further receiving elements 12B, 12C follow the manual movement of the first coupling element 12A from the closed position into the receiving position only when the first receiving element 12A has reached a predetermined installation angle. This angle of inclination can be predetermined, for example, in the range from 20° to 40°. This placement angle preferably has a value of 30°.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, the first receiving element 12A is mounted fixedly in its raised receiving position. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first receiving element 12A has an angle of inclination of 90° in its raised receiving position. The two opposing further receiving elements 12B, 12C each have an angle of rise of approximately 60° in their raised first receiving position shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and are flexibly movable from the first receiving position into a maximum receiving position, not shown in more detail, counter to a force of at least one spring element 19 shown in FIG. 4. In this case, the second receiving element 12B is movable against the force of a first spring element 19A, and the third receiving element 12C is movable against the force of a second spring element 19B from the first receiving position into the maximum receiving position. This allows, due to the constant spring prestress, a robust and rattle-free mounting of the two oppositely located receiving elements 12B, 12C in all positions and a defined spring force for compensating different container diameters between the first receiving position and the maximum receiving position.In the illustrated exemplary embodiment of the container holder 10, the coupling gear 16 is further designed to hold the two opposite further receiving elements 12B, 12C in the first receiving position when the first receiving element 12A has reached its receiving position. For this purpose, the coupling gear 16 has two stop and friction cams 16A, 16B, which interact with stop and friction contours 18 formed on the housing 15. Here, a first stop and friction cam 16A is applied to one end of the first axis of rotation DA 1 and interacts with a first stop and friction contour 18A formed on the housing 15. The first receiving element 12A is held in the closed position by the first stop and friction cam 16A in combination with the first stop and friction contour 18A by a frictional engagement, which is overcome during the manual placement, so that the first receiving element 12A can be placed in the receiving position until the first stop and friction cam 16A stops. The first receiving element 12A is held in the receiving position by a frictional engagement. A second stop and friction cam 16B is applied to one end of the second axis of rotation DA 2 and interacts with a second stop and friction contour 18B formed on the housing 15. The two stop and friction cams 16 are positively coupled to one another via a coupling element 17 designed as a coupling rod 17A. By means of the arrangement of the coupling rod 17A and a corresponding clearance of the first stop and friction cam 16A, the angle of installation of the first receiving element 12A can be adjusted, starting from which the two opposite further receiving elements 12B, 12C follow the manual movement of the first coupling element 12A from the closed position into the receiving position. By means of the positive coupling of the coupling gear 17A, the two opposite further receiving elements 12B, 12C are held in the closed position and in the first receiving position. Counter to the force of the corresponding spring element 19A, 19B, the second receiving element 12A and the third receiving element 12B are each flexibly movable from the first receiving position into the maximum receiving position.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 5, the first receiving element 12A has three receiving contours 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 which are circular segment-shaped in cross section and can each partially receive an adjusted container 7. The second receiving element 12B and the third receiving element 12C form a step 12.4 and each comprise two holding elements 13 of stepped design for this purpose, between which at least one recess 14 is formed in each case. In this case, the geometric shapes of the stepped retaining elements 13 of the second and third receiving elements 12B, 12C and the geometric shape of the first receiving element 12A are matched to one another such that the two further receiving elements 12B, 12C, in the closed position of the container holder 10, receive the overlap of the first receiving element 12A and form the planar surface which is arranged in alignment with the bearing surface 5 of the vehicle component 3.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 5 further, the second receiving element 12B comprises a first holding element 13A and a second holding element 13B, between which a first cutout 14A is formed. The third receiving element 12C comprises a third holding element 13C and a fourth holding element 13D, between which a second cutout 14A is formed. In addition, a third recess 14C is formed on a side of the second holding member 13B facing the third holding member 13C, and a fourth recess 14D is formed on a side of the third holding member 13C facing the second holding member 13B.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 5, the first receiving position of the two opposing further receiving elements 12B, 12C is adapted to the dimensions of a smallest adjustable container 7. This smallest adjustable container 7 can be adjusted into a first receiving contour 12.1, which is formed centrally on the first receiving element 12A, and held by a first supporting contour 13.1, which is formed on the third recess 14C of the second holding element 13B of the second receiving element 12B and on the fourth recess 14D of the third holding element 13C of the third receiving element 12C. Larger containers 7 can be set into a second receiving contour 12.2 and / or into a third receiving contour 12.3 of the first receiving element 12A, which are formed above and below the first receiving contour 12.1. In this case, a container 7 set in the second receiving contour 12.2 is held by a second supporting contour 13.2, which is formed on the first cutout 14A formed between the first holding element 13A and the second holding element 13B. A container 7 set in the third receiving contour 12.3 is held by a third supporting contour 13.3, which is formed on the second recess 14B formed between the third holding element 13C and the fourth holding element 13D. The maximum receiving position of the second receiving element 12B and of the third receiving element 12C are each adapted to the dimensions of a largest adjustable container 7. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment of the container holder 10, the maximum receiving position corresponds to an angle of inclination of 90°.In the illustration in FIG. 1, a container 7 designed as a beverage can 7A is arranged between the first receiving element 12A and the second receiving element 12B and is set in the container holder 10. In addition, a container 7 designed as a cup 7B is arranged between the first receiving element 12A and the third receiving element 12C and is set in the container holder 10.As can be further seen from FIG. 1, the container 7 designed as a beverage can 7A has a medium size and is set in the second receiving contour 12.2, which is formed on the first receiving element 12A. The beverage can 7A is held on the basis of the spring force of the first spring element 19A by the second support contour 13.2, which is formed on the first holding element 13A and on the second holding element 13B of the second receiving element 12B. The container 7 designed as a cup 7B has a larger diameter than the beverage can 7A and is set in the third receiving contour 12.3, which is formed on the first receiving element 12A. The cup 7B is held on the basis of the spring force of the second spring element 19B by the third support contour 13.3, which is formed on the third holding element 13C and on the fourth holding element 13D of the third receiving element 12C.As can be further seen from FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the illustrated exemplary embodiment of the cup holder 10 has a handle screen 11 which is formed by corresponding recesses 11A, 11B made in the two further receiving elements 12B, 12C and is arranged on an edge of the two further receiving elements 12B, 12C facing the first receiving element 12. In the closed position of the cup holder 10, a finger can be inserted into the recessed grip 11 and the first receiving element 12A can be moved from its closed position into its receiving position. Here, a first recess 11A is made in the second receiving element 12B and a second recess 11B is made in the third receiving element 12C.LIST OF REFERENCE CHARACTERS1 Container holder arrangement 3 Vehicle component 3A Central arm rest 5 Support surface 7 Container 7A Beverage can 7B Cup 9 Interior 10 Container holder 11 Recessed grip 11A, 11B Recess 12 Receiving element 12A First receiving element 12B, 12C Further receiving element 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 Receiving contour 12.4 Step 13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D Holding element 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 Supporting contour 14, 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D Recess 15 Housing 15A Receiving trough 15.1 Encircling collar 15.2 Trough base 16 Coupling gear 16A, 16B Stop and friction cam 17 Coupling element 17A Coupling rod 18, 18A, 18B Stop and friction contour 19, 19A, 19b spring element DA1, DA2 horizontal axis of rotationReferences included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
