Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a holder device for a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a holder device that protrudes from an audio device mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle to hold an electronic device. The audio device has a design part that is exposed to the interior of the vehicle, and a main body part that is located inside the dashboard and not exposed to the interior of the vehicle.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-26242 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the above-described holder device, since the movable base is plate-shaped, a plate-shaped space is required inside the main body to store the movable base. In this case, the internal space of the main body may be limited. Therefore, there is room for improvement in improving the functionality of the holder device. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Various aspects of a vehicle holder device for solving the above problems will be described. [Embodiment 1] A vehicle holder device provided in an interior member of a vehicle, the vehicle holder device having a peripheral wall that forms an upwardly opening storage recess, a storage section that stores a first item in the storage recess, and a pair of holding sections that are configured to be able to move forward and backward relative to the storage section and that sandwich and hold a second item, the pair of holding sections protruding from the storage section in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the storage recess and holding the second item, and a storage position that is located on opposite sides of the peripheral wall and is stored in the storage section, the vehicle holder device.

[0008] According to the above configuration, the space between the pair of holding portions in the holding position functions as a space for holding the second item. Meanwhile, the pair of holding portions in the storage position are located on opposite sides of the peripheral wall of the storage portion. Therefore, the space between the pair of holding portions in the storage position functions as a space for storing the first item in the storage recess. Therefore, regardless of the position of the pair of holding portions, the space between the pair of holding portions can be effectively utilized. Therefore, the functionality of the vehicle holder device can be improved.

[0009] [Aspect 2] The storage section is arranged adjacent to the peripheral wall and has an opposing wall facing the second item held by the pair of holding sections, and the opposing wall has an inclined surface that is inclined in the vertical direction so as to move away from the peripheral wall as it extends downward.This is a holder device for a vehicle described in [Aspect 1].

[0010] According to the above configuration, the second item held by the pair of holders is supported by the opposing walls, so that the second item can be positioned along the inclined surface. This makes it easier for a vehicle occupant to see the second item. Therefore, for example, if an electronic device is held as the second item by the pair of holders, the occupant can easily operate the second item.

[0011] [Aspect 3] The vehicle holder device according to [Aspect 2], wherein the pair of holding portions move forward and backward relative to the accommodating portion in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface. When the pair of holding parts move back and forth in a direction other than a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface, the following inconvenience may occur: Namely, compared to when the pair of holding parts move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface, the contact area between the desired portion of the pair of holding parts suitable for holding the second article and the second article may be reduced.

[0012] In this regard, the above configuration can prevent a reduction in the contact area between the desired portions of the pair of holders and the second article. This makes it easier to stabilize the position of the second article held by the pair of holders in a position along the inclined surface. This makes it easier for vehicle occupants to see the second article.

[0013] [Aspect 4] A vehicle holder device described in any one of [Aspect 1] to [Aspect 3], wherein the storage section is arranged adjacent to the peripheral wall and has an opposing wall facing the second item held by the pair of holding sections, the pair of holding sections appear and disappear relative to the opposing wall when moving forward and backward relative to the storage section, and one end face in the moving forward and backward direction of the pair of holding sections located in the storage position is flush with the outer surface of the opposing wall.

[0014] According to the above configuration, the pair of holding portions located at the storage position do not protrude from the opposing wall into the vehicle compartment, thereby preventing the design of the vehicle holder device from being impaired due to the holding portions located at the storage position protruding from the opposing wall.

[0015] [Aspect 5] A vehicle holder device described in any one of [Aspect 1] to [Aspect 4], wherein the storage section has a pair of side walls located on opposite sides of the peripheral wall, and the pair of side walls each cover the pair of holding sections located in the storage position from the opposite side of the peripheral wall.

[0016] According to the above configuration, the pair of holding portions positioned at the storage position can be prevented from being seen from inside the vehicle compartment, thereby preventing the design of the holder device for a vehicle from being impaired. [Aspect 6] A vehicle holder device as described in [Aspect 1] to [Aspect 5], configured to be movable forward and backward relative to the storage section in conjunction with the pair of holding sections when the storage position is a first storage position, and including a support section that supports the second item from below, the support section protruding from the storage section in a direction intersecting the opening direction and moving forward and backward relative to the storage section between a support position where it supports the second item from below and a second storage position where it is stored in the storage section.

[0017] According to the above configuration, by positioning the pair of holding parts in the holding position and the support part in the support position, the second article can be sandwiched between the pair of holding parts and supported from below by the support parts, thereby stabilizing the posture of the second article.

[0018] Furthermore, since the pair of holding portions and the support portion are linked, it is not necessary to move the pair of holding portions and the support portion forward and backward separately. [Aspect 7] A vehicle holder device according to [Aspect 6], having a pair of connecting portions that connect each of the pair of holding portions to the support portion so that they cannot move relative to each other.

[0019] According to the above configuration, each holding portion and supporting portion are connected via the connecting portion so as not to move relative to each other, and therefore, the pair of holding portion and supporting portion can be easily interlocked. [Aspect 8] A vehicle holder device as described in [Aspect 7], wherein the storage section is arranged adjacent to the peripheral wall and has an opposing wall facing the second item held by the pair of holding sections, the pair of holding sections and the support section appear and disappear relative to the opposing wall when moving forward and backward relative to the storage section, and the opposing wall covers the pair of connecting sections from the side opposite the peripheral wall.

[0020] According to the above configuration, the opposing walls through which the pair of holding portions and the pair of support portions appear and disappear cover the pair of connecting portions, which prevents the pair of connecting portions from being visible from inside the vehicle cabin when the pair of holding portions and the pair of support portions move forward and backward, thereby preventing the design of the vehicle holder device from being impaired. [Effects of the Invention]

[0023] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a holder device for a vehicle will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. In this specification, the term "orthogonal" includes not only the case of being strictly orthogonal, but also the case of being approximately orthogonal within the scope of the effect of this embodiment.

[0024] (Schematic configuration of the vehicle holder device) 1, a holder device for a vehicle (hereinafter simply referred to as a holder device 20) is provided on an instrument panel 10 located at the front of a vehicle interior. The instrument panel 10 is an example of an "interior member."

[0025] Hereinafter, the front-rear direction, vehicle width direction, and up-down direction of the vehicle will be simply referred to as the "front-rear direction," "vehicle width direction," and "up-down direction," respectively. Furthermore, the front and rear in the front-rear direction will be simply referred to as the "front" and "rear," respectively. Furthermore, the right and left in the vehicle width direction, which are the left-right directions when the vehicle is moving forward, will be simply referred to as the "right" and "left," respectively. Furthermore, the top and bottom in the up-down direction will be simply referred to as the "up" and "down," respectively.

[0026] The holder device 20 is attached to, for example, an opening 11 that opens into the design surface of the instrument panel 10. The holder device 20 constitutes the design surface of the instrument panel 10.

[0027] The opening 11 is provided, for example, to the right of a portion of the instrument panel 10 where a steering wheel 14 is disposed, and opens upward. Above the opening 11 of the instrument panel 10, an air outlet 12 of an air conditioner is provided.

[0028] 2, the holder device 20 includes a storage section 30 and a holding mechanism 40. The storage section 30 is configured to be able to store a first object A1. The holding mechanism 40 is configured to be able to hold a second object A2 different from the first object A1.

[0029] The first object A1 has a conical shape, for example. The second object A2 has a rectangular plate shape, for example. The first object A1 of this embodiment is a beverage container. The second object A2 of this embodiment is an electronic device with a display unit, such as a smartphone.

[0030] (Configuration of the storage section 30) The storage section 30 has a bottom wall 31 and a peripheral wall 32. The bottom wall 31 has a circular shape in a plan view. The peripheral wall 32 protrudes upward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall 31 along the entire periphery. The peripheral wall 32 has a circular shape in a plan view. The inner diameter of the peripheral wall 32 gradually increases upward.

[0031] The bottom wall 31 and the peripheral wall 32 form an accommodating recess 30a that opens upward. The accommodating recess 30a accommodates the first item A1. 1, the storage section 30 has a protruding portion 33 that protrudes outward from the open end of the peripheral wall 32. The protruding portion 33 is provided around the entire periphery of the peripheral wall 32. The front end of the protruding portion 33 is adjacent to the design surface of the general portion of the instrument panel 10.

[0032] 2, the accommodation portion 30 has one or more fixing portions 34 that are fixed to the instrument panel 10. The fixing portions 34 have a protruding piece 35 and a clip 36. The protruding piece 35 protrudes forward in a cantilevered manner from the lower surface of the front portion of the overhanging portion 33. The clip 36 is attached to the protruding piece 35. The clip 36 engages with an engaging hole 13 formed on the periphery of the opening 11, thereby fixing the holder device 20 to the instrument panel 10.

[0033] The storage section 30 has an opposing wall 37 provided adjacent to the rear of the peripheral wall 32. The opposing wall 37 extends downward from the rear end of the protruding section 33. The opposing wall 37 is provided at a position spaced rearward from the peripheral wall 32. The opposing wall 37 faces the second article A2 held by a pair of holding sections 53, which will be described later.

[0034] The opposing wall 37 has an inclined surface 37a that is inclined in the vertical direction so as to move away from the peripheral wall 32 as it extends downward. The inclined surface 37a is inclined toward the opening direction of the accommodation recess 30a. The inclined surface 37a is exposed to the interior of the vehicle. The inclined surface 37a forms part of the design surface of the instrument panel 10. In this embodiment, the entire opposing wall 37 is inclined in the vertical direction so as to move away from the peripheral wall 32 as it extends downward.

[0035] 3, the storage section 30 has a pair of side walls 38 located on opposite sides of the peripheral wall 32. The pair of side walls 38 extend downward from both ends of the protruding section 33 in the vehicle width direction. Each side wall 38 is provided at a position spaced apart from the peripheral wall 32 in the vehicle width direction. A storage space S for storing a movable member 50, which will be described later, is formed between each side wall 38 and the peripheral wall 32.

[0036] The opposing wall 37 has a pair of first through holes 37b and a second through hole 37c. The pair of first through holes 37b are spaced apart in the vehicle width direction. The second through hole 37c is provided below the pair of first through holes 37b. Each first through hole 37b has a shape that is slightly larger than the rear surface of a holding end 54 (described later) and is a rectangle that is long in the vehicle width direction. The shape of the second through hole 37c has a shape that is slightly larger than the rear surface of a support end 52 (described later) and is a rectangle that is long in the vehicle width direction.

[0037] (Configuration of holding mechanism 40) 2, the holding mechanism 40 has a fixed member 41 and a movable member 50. The fixed member 41 is fixed to the storage section 30 by an attachment member (not shown) so as not to be able to move relative to the storage section 30. The movable member 50 is configured to be slidable relative to the fixed member 41.

[0038] The fixing member 41 is disposed below the bottom wall 31 of the storage section 30. The fixing member 41 has an annular wall 42 that forms a support hole 41a. The annular wall 42 extends at an angle relative to the front-to-rear direction so that it is positioned upward as it extends rearward. The axial direction of the annular wall 42 is, for example, a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a of the opposing wall 37. The support hole 41a penetrates the annular wall 42 in the axial direction. The shape of the support hole 41a is a rectangle that is long in the vehicle width direction.

[0039] The movable member 50 has a support portion 51, a pair of holding portions 53, and a pair of connecting portions 55. The support portion 51 supports the second item A2 from below. The pair of holding portions 53 sandwich and hold the second item A2 from both sides in the vehicle width direction. The pair of connecting portions 55 connect each of the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 so that they cannot move relative to each other.

[0040] The support portion 51 has a plate shape. The support portion 51 is slidably supported on the inner surface of the support hole 41a of the fixing member 41. The support portion 51 slides along the axial direction of the annular wall 42, thereby linearly advancing and retreating relative to the storage portion 30 below the bottom wall 31.

[0041] The support portion 51 has a support end portion 52 that appears and disappears from the opposing wall 37 through the second through-hole 37c when the support portion 51 advances and retreats relative to the storage portion 30. The rear surface of the support end portion 52 is inclined in the up-down direction so that it is positioned more rearward as it extends downward. More specifically, the rear surface of the support end portion 52 extends along the inclined surface 37a.

[0042] The support end portion 52 has a support recess 51a that accommodates the lower portion of the second article A2. The support recess 51a opens to the upper surface of the support portion 51. The support recess 51a has a rectangular shape that is long in the vehicle width direction. The support portion 51 supports the second article A2 by the bottom surface and inner peripheral surface of the support recess 51a.

[0043] The support part 51 has an outlet hole 51b that opens to the bottom surface of the support recess 51a. The outlet hole 51b penetrates the support end part 52 in the thickness direction. The outlet hole 51b functions as a through hole for pulling out various cables connected to the second item A2.

[0044] The pair of connecting portions 55 protrude upward from both ends in the vehicle width direction of the upper surface of the support portion 51. Each connecting portion 55 protrudes from a portion of the upper surface of the support portion 51 forward of the support recess 51a.

[0045] Each holding portion 53 extends rearward from the upper end of the connecting portion 55 along the support portion 51. For example, each holding portion 53 extends parallel to the support portion 51. The pair of holding portions 53 are located on both sides of the peripheral wall 32 in the vehicle width direction.

[0046] Each holding portion 53 is connected to the support portion 51 by a connecting portion 55, so that when the support portion 51 slides relative to the annular wall 42, the pair of holding portions 53 move forward and backward relative to the storage portion 30 in conjunction with the support portion 51.

[0047] Each holding portion 53 has a holding end 54 that appears and disappears from the opposing wall 37 through the first through-hole 37b when the holding portion 53 moves forward and backward relative to the storage portion 30. The rear surface of each holding end 54 is inclined relative to the up-down direction so that it is positioned further rearward as it extends downward. More specifically, the rear surface of each holding end 54 extends along the inclined surface 37a.

[0048] 3, the holding ends 54 of the pair of holding parts 53 protrude toward each other in the vehicle width direction. The protruding ends of the holding ends 54 cover the second article A2 from the side opposite the opposing wall 37.

[0049] 4 and 5, as the movable member 50 slides relative to the fixed member 41, the pair of holding portions 53 advance and retreat relative to the storage unit 30 between a holding position P1 and a first storage position P2. The holding position P1 is a position where the pair of holding portions 53 protrude from the storage unit 30 in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the storage recess 30a and hold the second item A2. The first storage position P2 is a position where the pair of holding portions 53 are positioned on opposite sides of the peripheral wall 32 and are stored in the storage space S of the storage unit 30. The holding end portion 54 of each holding portion 53 positioned at the holding position P1 protrudes rearward beyond the opposing wall 37.

[0050] As the movable member 50 slides relative to the fixed member 41, the support portion 51 advances and retreats relative to the storage portion 30 between a support position P3 and a second storage position P4. The support position P3 is a position where the support portion 51 protrudes from the storage portion 30 in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the storage recess 30a and supports the second item A2 from below. The second storage position P4 is a position where the support portion 51 is stored in the storage space S of the storage portion 30. The support end portion 52 of the support portion 51 located at the support position P3 protrudes rearward beyond the opposing wall 37. The support recess 51a of the support portion 51 located at the support position P3 is exposed to the interior of the vehicle.

[0051] The support part 51 is constantly biased toward the support position P3, for example, by a biasing member (not shown). When the support part 51 is located at the second storage position P4, the support part 51 is locked to the fixed member 41 by a locking mechanism (not shown). The locking mechanism includes, for example, a heart cam groove and a cam pin that engages with the heart cam groove. The heart cam groove is provided in either the fixed member 41 or the support part 51. The cam pin is provided in the other of the fixed member 41 or the support part 51.

[0052] When the support end 52 of the support portion 51 located at the second storage position P4 is pressed from behind by a vehicle occupant, the cam pin is disengaged from the heart cam groove, thereby unlocking the support portion 51 from the fixing member 41. As a result, the biasing force of the biasing member moves the support portion 51 from the second storage position P4 toward the support position P3, and moves the pair of holding portions 53 from the first storage position P2 toward the holding position P1.

[0053] When the support end 52 of the support portion 51 located at the support position P3 is pushed from behind by a vehicle occupant, the support portion 51 moves to the second storage position P4, and the cam pin engages with the heart cam groove, thereby locking the support portion 51 to the fixing member 41.

[0054] When the pair of holding portions 53 move between the holding position P1 and the first storage position P2, they advance and retreat relative to the storage portion 30 in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a of the opposing wall 37. When the support portion 51 moves between the support position P3 and the second storage position P4, it advances and retreats relative to the storage portion 30 in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a of the opposing wall 37.

[0055] As shown in Fig. 5, the rear surfaces of the holding ends 54 of the pair of holding portions 53 located at the first storage position P2 are flush with the inclined surface 37a, which is the outer surface of the opposing wall 37. The rear surface of the support end 52 of the support portion 51 located at the second storage position P4 is flush with the inclined surface 37a. Therefore, when the pair of holding portions 53 and support portion 51 are located at the first storage position P2 and the second storage position P4, respectively, the rear surfaces of the holding ends 54, the rear surfaces of the support ends 52, and the inclined surface 37a are located on the same plane. The rear surfaces of the holding ends 54 are an example of "one end surface in the forward / backward direction of the holding portion."

[0056] The opposing wall 37 always covers the pair of connecting portions 55 from the side opposite to the peripheral wall 32, i.e., from the rear. Each connecting portion 55 moves toward and away from the opposing wall 37 as the movable member 50 slides relative to the fixed member 41. Because the opposing wall 37 is located behind the connecting portions 55, it has the function of preventing the movable member 50 from protruding beyond a predetermined position from the opposing wall 37 into the vehicle cabin.

[0057] 3, the pair of side walls 38 of the storage section 30 cover the pair of holding sections 53 located at the first storage position P2 from the side opposite to the peripheral wall 32, i.e., from both sides in the vehicle width direction. More specifically, the pair of side walls 38 cover the entire movable member 50 stored in the storage space S from both sides in the vehicle width direction.

[0058] <Operation of this embodiment> The space between the pair of holding portions 53 at the holding position P1 functions as a space for holding the second item A2. Meanwhile, the pair of holding portions 53 at the first storage position P2 are located on opposite sides of the peripheral wall 32 of the storage section 30. Therefore, the space between the pair of holding portions 53 at the first storage position P2 functions as a space for storing the first item A1 in the storage recess 30a.

[0059] <Effects of this embodiment> (1) The holder device 20 includes a storage section 30 that stores a first item A1 in a storage recess 30a, and a pair of holding sections 53 that sandwich and hold a second item A2. The storage section 30 has a peripheral wall 32 that forms the storage recess 30a that opens upward. The pair of holding sections 53 are configured to be able to advance and retreat relative to the storage section 30. The pair of holding sections 53 advance and retreat relative to the storage section 30 between a retention position P1 and a first storage position P2.

[0060] According to the above configuration, the space between the pair of holding portions 53 can be effectively utilized regardless of the positions of the pair of holding portions 53. Therefore, the functionality of the holder device 20 can be improved.

[0061] Furthermore, according to the above configuration, when the pair of holding parts 53 are not holding the second article A2, the pair of holding parts 53 can be stored in the storage part 30 by being positioned at the first storage position P2. Therefore, when the pair of holding parts 53 are not in use, the pair of holding parts 53 can be prevented from being exposed to the interior of the vehicle. This prevents the design of the holder device 20 from being impaired.

[0062] (2) The opposing wall 37 has an inclined surface 37a that is inclined in the vertical direction so as to move away from the peripheral wall 32 as it extends downward. According to the above configuration, the second article A2 held by the pair of holding portions 53 is supported by the opposing walls 37, so that the second article A2 can be positioned along the inclined surface 37a. This makes it easier for the vehicle occupant to view the second article A2. Therefore, for example, when an electronic device is held as the second article A2 by the pair of holding portions 53, the occupant can easily operate the second article A2.

[0063] Furthermore, according to the above configuration, when the first article A1 protrudes from the storage recess 30a, the second article A2 can be supported by both the inclined surface 37a and the first article A1. (3) The pair of holding portions 53 move forward and backward relative to the storage portion 30 in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a.

[0064] When the pair of holding parts 53 advances and retreats in a direction other than a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a, for example, in the front-to-rear direction, the following inconvenience may occur: That is, compared to when the pair of holding parts 53 advances and retreats in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a, the contact area between the desired portion of the pair of holding parts 53 suitable for holding the second item A2 and the second item A2 may be reduced.

[0065] In this regard, the above configuration can prevent a decrease in the contact area between the desired portions of the pair of holding portions 53 and the second article A2. This makes it easier to stabilize the position of the second article A2 held by the pair of holding portions 53 in a position along the inclined surfaces 37a. This makes it even easier for vehicle occupants to view the second article A2.

[0066] (4) The rear surfaces of the holding ends 54 of the pair of holding portions 53 located in the first storage position P2 are flush with the inclined surface 37a. According to the above configuration, the holding ends 54 of the pair of holding portions 53 located at the first storage position P2 do not protrude into the vehicle compartment from the opposing wall 37. This prevents the design of the holder device 20 from being impaired due to the holding portions 53 located at the first storage position P2 protruding from the opposing wall 37.

[0067] (5) The pair of side walls 38 respectively cover the pair of holding portions 53 located at the first storage position P2 from the side opposite to the peripheral wall 32. According to the above configuration, the pair of holding portions 53 positioned at the first storage position P2 can be prevented from being seen from inside the vehicle cabin, and therefore, the design of the holder device 20 can be prevented from being impaired.

[0068] (6) The holder device 20 includes a support portion 51 configured to be movable toward and away from the storage portion 30 in conjunction with the pair of holding portions 53. The support portion 51 moves toward and away from the storage portion 30 between the support position P3 and the second storage position P4.

[0069] According to the above configuration, by positioning the pair of holding parts 53 at the holding position P1 and the support part 51 at the support position P3, the second article A2 can be sandwiched between the pair of holding parts 53 and supported from below by the support part 51. Therefore, the posture of the second article A2 can be stabilized.

[0070] Furthermore, since the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 are interlocked, it is not necessary to move the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 forward and backward separately. (7) The holder device 20 has a pair of connecting portions 55 that connect the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 so that they cannot move relative to each other.

[0071] According to the above configuration, each holding portion 53 and support portion 51 are connected via connecting portion 55 so as not to be able to move relative to each other, so that the pair of holding portions 53 and support portions 51 can be easily moved in conjunction with each other.

[0072] (8) The opposing wall 37 covers the pair of connecting portions 55 from the side opposite to the peripheral wall 32 . According to the above configuration, the opposing wall 37 through which the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 appear and disappear covers the pair of connecting portions 55. Therefore, when the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 move forward and backward, the pair of connecting portions 55 can be prevented from being seen from inside the vehicle cabin. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the design of the holder device 20 from being impaired.

[0073] <Example of change> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility.

[0074] 6, the movable member 50 may have a holding end 154 that connects the rear ends of the pair of holding portions 53. In this case, the opposing wall 37 preferably has a first through hole 137b through which the holding end 154 appears and disappears, instead of the pair of first through holes 37b. This configuration can prevent the first article A1 from slipping out rearward from between the pair of holding portions 53.

[0075] As shown in Fig. 7, the holder device 20 may include a power supply device 60 that supplies power to the second item A2 in a contactless manner. The power supply device 60 in this modified example is disposed between the opposing wall 37 and the peripheral wall 32. The power supply device 60 is, for example, an electromagnetic induction type power supply device having a power transmission coil. When the second item A2 has a power receiving coil, power is supplied to the second item A2 by electromagnetic induction between the power transmission coil and the power receiving coil.

[0076] The storage section 30 does not have to have the pair of side walls 38. In this case, the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 32 may be provided with storage grooves that slidably support and store the pair of holding sections 53 and support sections 51.

[0077] The pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 may advance and retreat relative to the storage portion 30 in a direction other than the direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 37a of the opposing wall 37. In this case, the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 may advance and retreat relative to the storage portion 30 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0078] The opposing wall 37 does not have to have the inclined surface 37a. In this case, the opposing wall 37 may extend perpendicular to the front-rear direction. The rear surfaces of the holding ends 54 of the pair of holding portions 53 in the first storage position P2 and the rear surfaces of the support ends 52 of the support portions 51 in the second storage position P4 may be located rearward of the inclined surface 37a or may be located forward of the inclined surface 37a.

[0079] The opposing wall 37 does not have to cover the connecting portions 55 from behind. That is, the opposing wall 37 may have through holes that expose the connecting portions 55. In this case, the first through holes 37b and the second through holes 37c may be connected to each other by the through holes that expose the connecting portions 55.

[0080] The storage section 30 does not have to have the opposing wall 37. The pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 may be configured to move in conjunction with each other via a transmission mechanism that transmits the force of the movement of the support portion 51 to the pair of holding portions 53. In this case, the amount of movement of the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 relative to the storage portion 30 may be different from each other.

[0081] The pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 may be configured to move in conjunction with each other via an electric actuator. The pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 do not have to be linked together. That is, the pair of holding portions 53 and the support portion 51 may be configured to be able to advance and retreat independently of each other with respect to the storage portion 30. In this case, the advance and retreat directions of the pair of holding portions 53 and the advance and retreat directions of the support portion 51 may be different from each other.

[0082] The support end 52 of the support portion 51 may extend to a position farther from the connecting portion 55 than the holding end 54 in the protruding direction of the pair of holding portions 53. In this case, by increasing the dimension of the support recess 51a in the advancing / retreating direction of the support portion 51, the inclination angle of the second item A2 relative to the opposing wall 37 can be increased when the second item A2 is supported by leaning it against the opposing wall 37.

[0083] The holder device 20 does not have to include the support portion 51. In other words, the holder device 20 may hold the second article A2 only by the pair of holding portions 53. The receiving recess 30a may be open obliquely upward.

[0084] The holder device 20 may be provided at any location on the instrument panel 10. For example, the holder device 20 may be provided in a portion of the instrument panel 10 in front of the passenger seat.

[0085] The holder device 20 may be formed integrally with the instrument panel 10. The interior member is not limited to the instrument panel 10. The interior member may be, for example, a door trim or a center console.

[0086] The shape, size, and type of each of the first object A1 and the second object A2 are not particularly limited as long as they can be held by the holder device 20. [Explanation of symbols]
