The case is configured to be movable between a position where it is pulled out from the center console and a position where it is stored inside the center console. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-1115 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, it is desirable to improve the functionality of holder devices provided in the vehicle interior. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Various aspects of a vehicle holder device for solving the above problems will be described. [Mode 1] A vehicle holder device provided in an interior member of a vehicle, the vehicle holder device comprising: a first storage section having a first peripheral wall that forms a first storage recess that opens upward, and that stores a first item in the first storage recess; and a second storage section having a second peripheral wall that forms a second storage recess, and that stores a second item in the second storage recess, the second storage section being configured to be rotatable relative to the first storage section between a first position in which the second peripheral wall is adjacent to the first peripheral wall and the opening of the second storage recess faces upward, and a second position in which the second peripheral wall covers the first storage recess from above.

[0006] According to the above configuration, when the second storage portion is located in the first position, the openings of both the first storage recess and the second storage recess face upward. Therefore, a first item can be stored in the first storage recess and a second item can be stored in the second storage recess. Furthermore, when the second storage portion is located in the second position, the first storage recess is covered by the second peripheral wall of the second storage portion. Therefore, the first storage recess is difficult to see. From the above, the functionality of the vehicle holder device can be improved.

[0007] [Aspect 2] The second peripheral wall has a window through which the second item stored in the second storage recess can be seen from the outside, in the holder device for a vehicle described in [Aspect 1]. According to the above configuration, even when the second item is stored in the second storage recess, the second item can be seen from outside. Therefore, for example, if an electronic device is stored as the second item in the second storage recess, the occupant can operate the second item through the window without removing the second item from the second storage recess.

[0008] [Aspect 3] A vehicle holder device as described in [Aspect 1] or [Aspect 2], comprising: a connecting portion that rotatably connects the second accommodating portion to the first accommodating portion; and a biasing member connected to the connecting portion and the first accommodating portion and that reverses the biasing direction of the connecting portion when the rotational position of the second accommodating portion relative to the first accommodating portion passes through an intermediate position between the first position and the second position, wherein the biasing member biases the connecting portion in a direction that causes the second accommodating portion to move toward the first position when the second accommodating portion is positioned between the first position and the intermediate position, and biases the connecting portion in a direction that causes the second accommodating portion to move toward the second position when the second accommodating portion is positioned between the second position and the intermediate position.

[0009] According to the above configuration, when the position of the second storage section is closer to the first position than to the intermediate position, the second storage section is biased toward the first position. On the other hand, when the position of the second storage section is closer to the second position than to the intermediate position, the second storage section is biased toward the second position. Therefore, when changing the position of the second storage section, the vehicle occupant can move the second storage section beyond the intermediate position, thereby avoiding the need to move the second storage section to the first position or the second position. Therefore, the position of the second storage section can be easily changed.

[0010] [Aspect 4] A holder device for a vehicle described in any one of [Aspect 1] to [Aspect 3], which has a connecting portion that rotatably connects the second accommodating portion to the first accommodating portion, and the connecting portion has a cover portion that covers the first peripheral wall from the inside of the vehicle compartment when the second accommodating portion is located in the second position.

[0011] According to the above configuration, when the second receiving portion is located in the second position, the first peripheral wall 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.

[0012] [Aspect 5] A holder device provided in an interior member of a vehicle, the holder device having a peripheral wall that forms a first storage recess that opens upward, a storage section in the first storage recess that stores a first item, the storage section opening on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall in a direction that intersects with the opening direction of the first storage recess, and having a second storage recess that stores a second item, the internal space of the first storage recess also serving as the internal space of the second storage recess.

[0013] According to the above configuration, the storage portion stores the first item in the first storage recess and the second item in the second storage recess. The internal space of the first storage recess also serves as the internal space of the second storage recess. Therefore, the storage portion can be configured to store the first item and the second item. This improves the functionality of the vehicle holder device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, the functionality of the holder device for a vehicle can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] [First embodiment] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a holder device for a vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. (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."

[0017] 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.

[0018] 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.

[0019] 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.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 2, the holder device 20 includes a first storage section 30, a second storage section 40, and a support mechanism 50. The first storage section 30 is configured to be able to store a first item A1. The second storage section 40 is configured to be able to store a second item A2 different from the first item A1. The support mechanism 50 supports the second storage section 40 rotatably relative to the first storage section 30.

[0021] The first object A1 has, for example, a cone shape. The second object A2 has, for example, a rectangular plate shape. 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.

[0022] (Configuration of the first storage section 30) The first storage section 30 has a first bottom wall 31 and a first peripheral wall 32. The first bottom wall 31 has a circular shape in a plan view. The first peripheral wall 32 protrudes upward from the outer peripheral edge of the first bottom wall 31 along the entire periphery. The first peripheral wall 32 has a circular shape in a plan view. The inner diameter of the first peripheral wall 32 gradually increases upward.

[0023] The first bottom wall 31 and the first peripheral wall 32 form a first storage recess 30a that opens upward. A first article A1 is stored in the first storage recess 30a. 1, the first accommodating section 30 has a protruding section 33 that protrudes outward from the open end of the first peripheral wall 32. The protruding section 33 is provided around the entire periphery of the first peripheral wall 32. The front end of the protruding section 33 is adjacent to the design surface of the general section of the instrument panel 10.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2 , the first accommodating 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 part 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.

[0025] 3, the first accommodating portion 30 has a pair of bosses 37 that protrude in opposite directions from both sides of the first peripheral wall 32 in the vehicle width direction. The bosses 37 are cylindrical. An internal thread is formed on the inner surface of the boss 37.

[0026] The first accommodating portion 30 has a protrusion 38 that protrudes from one side portion in the vehicle width direction of the first peripheral wall 32. The protrusion 38 is located below the left boss 37. The protrusion 38 supports a biasing member 55, which will be described later.

[0027] The first accommodating section 30 has a pair of side walls 39 located on opposite sides of the first peripheral wall 32. The pair of side walls 39 extend downward from both ends of the protruding section 33 in the vehicle width direction. Each side wall 39 is provided at a position spaced apart from the first peripheral wall 32 in the vehicle width direction. The pair of side walls 39 cover the support mechanism 50 from both sides in the vehicle width direction.

[0028] (Configuration of the second storage section 40) As shown in FIG. 2, the second storage section 40 has a second bottom wall 41 and a second peripheral wall 42. The second bottom wall 41 has a rectangular shape with long and short sides in a plan view. The long side direction of the second bottom wall 41 coincides with the vehicle width direction. The second peripheral wall 42 protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the second bottom wall 41 over the entire periphery. The second peripheral wall 42 has a rectangular shape with long and short sides in a plan view.

[0029] The second peripheral wall 42 and the second bottom wall 41 form a second storage recess 40a, in which a second item A2 is stored. As shown in FIG. 4, the second peripheral wall 42 has a pair of through holes 40b that allow the second item A2 stored in the second storage recess 40a to be viewed from the outside. The pair of through holes 40b each open on the outer peripheral surface of a portion of the second peripheral wall 42 that faces each other in the short side direction of the second bottom wall 41. The opening direction of each through hole 40b is perpendicular to the opening direction of the second storage recess 40a. Each through hole 40b has a rectangular shape that is long in the axial direction of the second peripheral wall 42. One end of each through hole 40b in the longitudinal direction is continuous with the opening of the second storage recess 40a. In other words, each through hole 40b has a shape that is cut out from the edge of the second peripheral wall 42. The through holes 40b are an example of a "window."

[0030] (Configuration of support mechanism 50) 3 and 5, the support mechanism 50 has a connecting portion 51 and a biasing member 55. The connecting portion 51 rotatably connects the second housing portion 40 to the first housing portion 30. The biasing member 55 is connected to the connecting portion 51 and the first housing portion 30.

[0031] The connecting portion 51 has a cover portion 52 and a pair of arm portions 53 . The cover portion 52 has a flat plate shape. The cover portion 52 is formed integrally with the second peripheral wall 42. The cover portion 52 extends from a corner portion of the second peripheral wall 42 that is continuous with the second bottom wall 41 in the surface direction of the second bottom wall 41. The cover portion 52 is located on the same plane as the second bottom wall 41. The dimension of the cover portion 52 in the vehicle width direction is larger than the dimension of the first peripheral wall 32 in the vehicle width direction, i.e., the maximum diameter of the first peripheral wall 32.

[0032] The pair of arm portions 53 protrude from both ends of the cover portion 52 in the vehicle width direction toward the first accommodating portion 30. Each arm portion 53 is adjacent to the first peripheral wall 32 in the vehicle width direction. 3, the tip of each arm portion 53 has an insertion hole 53a into which a boss 37 is inserted. By inserting the boss 37 into the insertion hole 53a of each arm portion 53, each arm portion 53 is rotatably supported with respect to the first housing portion 30. As a result, the second housing portion 40 is configured to be rotatable in both forward and reverse directions about the axis of the boss 37. The head of a screw S screwed into the boss 37 prevents each arm portion 53 from falling off the boss 37.

[0033] 5, one of the pair of arm portions 53 has a support portion 54 that supports the biasing member 55. The support portion 54 protrudes from the tip end of the arm portion 53 to the side opposite to the second accommodating portion 40.

[0034] 5 and 6, the second accommodating portion 40 is configured to be rotatable relative to the first accommodating portion 30 between a first position P1 and a second position P2. In the first position P1, the second peripheral wall 42 is adjacent to the rear of the first peripheral wall 32 and the opening of the second accommodating recess 40a faces upward. In the second position P2, the second peripheral wall 42 covers the first accommodating recess 30a from above.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, when the second accommodating portion 40 is located at the second position P2, the opening of the second accommodating recess 40a faces forward, i.e., perpendicular to the opening of the first accommodating recess 30a. The opening of the second accommodating recess 40a is covered by the decorative surface of the general portion of the instrument panel 10. Therefore, the opening of the second accommodating portion 40 at the second position P2 is less visible to vehicle occupants. Furthermore, when the second accommodating portion 40 is located at the second position P2, the cover portion 52 covers the first peripheral wall 32 from the interior side of the vehicle. More specifically, the cover portion 52 covers the entire rear surface of the first peripheral wall 32 from the rear.

[0036] The biasing member 55 is, for example, a turnover spring. One end and the other end of the biasing member 55 are connected to the support portion 54 and the protrusion 38, respectively. The biasing member 55 reverses the biasing direction of the connecting portion 51 when the rotational position of the second accommodating portion 40 relative to the first accommodating portion 30 passes through an intermediate position between the first position P1 and the second position P2. When the second accommodating portion 40 is located between the first position P1 and the intermediate position, the biasing member 55 biases the connecting portion 51 in a direction in which the second accommodating portion 40 moves toward the first position P1. When the second accommodating portion 40 is located between the second position P2 and the intermediate position, the biasing member 55 biases the connecting portion 51 in a direction in which the second accommodating portion 40 moves toward the second position P2.

[0037] <Operation of this embodiment> When the second storage section 40 is located at the first position P1, the openings of both the first storage recess 30a and the second storage recess 40a face upward. Therefore, the first item A1 can be stored in the first storage recess 30a, and the second item A2 can be stored in the second storage recess 40a. Furthermore, when the second storage section 40 is located at the second position P2, the first storage recess 30a is covered by the second peripheral wall 42 of the second storage section 40. Therefore, the first storage recess 30a is difficult to see.

[0038] <Effects of this embodiment> (1-1) The holder device 20 includes a first storage section 30 that stores a first item A1 in a first storage recess 30a, and a second storage section 40 that stores a second item A2 in a second storage recess 40a. The second storage section 40 is configured to be rotatable relative to the first storage section 30 between a first position P1 and a second position P2.

[0039] According to the above configuration, the functionality of the holder device 20 can be improved. Furthermore, according to the above configuration, when the second accommodating portion 40 is located at the second position P2, the first accommodating recess 30a can be prevented from being seen, thereby preventing the design of the holder device 20 from being impaired.

[0040] (1-2) The second peripheral wall 42 has a through-hole 40b through which the second item A2 stored in the second storage recess 40a can be seen from the outside. According to the above configuration, even when the second item A2 is stored in the second storage recess 40a, the second item A2 can be seen from the outside. Therefore, for example, when an electronic device is stored as the second item A2 in the second storage recess 40a, the occupant can check and operate the second item A2 through the through-hole 40b without removing the second item A2 from the second storage recess 40a.

[0041] (1-3) When the second accommodating portion 40 is located between the first position P1 and the intermediate position, the biasing member 55 biases the connecting portion 51 in a direction in which the second accommodating portion 40 moves toward the first position P1. When the second accommodating portion 40 is located between the second position P2 and the intermediate position, the biasing member 55 biases the connecting portion 51 in a direction in which the second accommodating portion 40 moves toward the second position P2.

[0042] According to the above configuration, when the position of the second storage section 40 is closer to the first position P1 than the intermediate position, the second storage section 40 is urged toward the first position P1. On the other hand, when the position of the second storage section 40 is closer to the second position P2 than the intermediate position, the second storage section 40 is urged toward the second position P2. Therefore, when changing the position of the second storage section 40, the vehicle occupant can move the second storage section 40 until it passes the intermediate position, thereby eliminating the need to move the second storage section 40 to the first position P1 or the second position P2. Therefore, the position of the second storage section 40 can be easily changed.

[0043] Furthermore, with the above configuration, the second housing portion 40 is more likely to be located at either the first position P1 or the second position P2. This prevents the second housing portion 40 from remaining located between the first position P1 and the second position P2. This prevents the design of the holder device 20 from being impaired.

[0044] (1-4) The connecting portion 51 has the cover portion 52 that covers the first peripheral wall 32 from the inside of the vehicle compartment when the second accommodating portion 40 is located at the second position P2. According to the above configuration, when the second accommodating portion 40 is located at the second position P2, the first circumferential wall 32 can be prevented from being seen from inside the vehicle compartment. Therefore, the design of the holder device 20 can be prevented from being impaired.

[0045] [Second embodiment] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the holder device for a vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations may be omitted.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 7, the holder device 120 is attached to the opening 11 of the instrument panel 10. As shown in FIG. 8, the holder device 120 includes a storage section 130 configured to be able to store a first article A1 or a second article A2.

[0047] The storage section 130 has a bottom wall 131, a peripheral wall 132, and a top wall 133. The bottom wall 131 is rectangular in plan view. The peripheral wall 132 protrudes upward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall 131 along the entire periphery. The peripheral wall 132 is rectangular in plan view. The top wall 133 extends from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 132 toward the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 132.

[0048] 7, top wall 133 has a notch 133a cut out from the rear edge of top wall 133. In a plan view, notch 133a has a shape in which a rectangular portion and a circular portion formed in front of the rectangular portion partially overlap each other.

[0049] 8 and 9, the bottom wall 131, the peripheral wall 132, and the top wall 133 form a first storage recess 130a that opens upward. The opening of the first storage recess 130a is formed by a notch 133a. The first item A1 is stored in the first storage recess 130a.

[0050] The storage section 130 has a second storage recess 140a that opens to the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 132. The second storage recess 140a opens to the peripheral wall 132 in a direction that intersects with the opening direction of the first storage recess 130a. More specifically, the second storage recess 140a opens to the upper end of the rear surface of the peripheral wall 132, facing rearward, which is a direction perpendicular to the opening direction of the first storage recess 130a. The opening of the second storage recess 140a is formed by the peripheral wall 132 and the top wall 133. The opening of the second storage recess 140a has a rectangular shape that is elongated in the vehicle width direction. The second storage recess 140a stores a second item A2.

[0051] The storage section 130 has a support plate section 134 that supports the second article A2 stored in the second storage recess 140a from below. The support plate section 134 extends below the top wall 133 and parallel to the top wall 133. The support plate section 134 is connected to the inner surface of the peripheral wall 132 around its entire periphery. The rear end edge of the support plate section 134 is continuous with the rear part of the peripheral wall 132.

[0052] 7, the support plate portion 134 has a circular insertion hole 134a. The diameter of the insertion hole 134a is the same as the diameter of the circular portion of the notch 133a. The second accommodating recess 140a is defined by the support plate portion 134, a portion of the peripheral wall 132 above the support plate portion 134, and the top wall 133.

[0053] The internal space of the first accommodating recess 130a also serves as the internal space of the second accommodating recess 140a. In other words, the first accommodating recess 130a and the second accommodating recess 140a share the internal space of the accommodating portion 130.

[0054] 8, in this embodiment, the first item A1 stored in the first storage recess 130a protrudes above the top wall 133. Therefore, when the first item A1 is stored in the first storage recess 130a, the second item A2 cannot be stored in the second storage recess 140a. Furthermore, when the second item A2 is stored in the second storage recess 140a, the first item A1 cannot be stored in the first storage recess 130a.

[0055] <Operation of this embodiment> The storage section 130 stores the first item A1 in the first storage recess 130a, and stores the second item A2 in the second storage recess 140a. The internal space of the first storage recess 130a also serves as the internal space of the second storage recess 140a. Therefore, the storage section 130 can be configured to store the first item A1 or the second item A2.

[0056] <Effects of this embodiment> The holder device 120 includes a storage section 130 that stores a first item A1 in a first storage recess 130a. The storage section 130 has a peripheral wall 132 that forms the first storage recess 130a that opens upward. The storage section 130 has a second storage recess 140a that opens to the outer circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 132 and stores a second item A2. The internal space of the first storage recess 130a also serves as the internal space of the second storage recess 140a.

[0057] According to the above configuration, the functionality of the holder device 120 can be improved. <Example of change> Each embodiment can be modified as follows: Each embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.

[0058] In the second embodiment, the second storage recess 140a may open at any height position on the peripheral wall 132. If the second storage recess 140a opens at the bottom of the peripheral wall 132, the first item A1 and the second item A2 can be stored in the storage section 130 at the same time by supporting the first item A1 from below with the second item A2.

[0059] In the second embodiment, the storage section 130 does not necessarily have to have the top wall 133 . In the second embodiment, the accommodating portion 130 may have a plurality of second accommodating recesses 140a. In this case, the internal space of the first accommodating recess 130a also serves as the internal space of the plurality of second accommodating recesses 140a.

[0060] In the first embodiment, the biasing member 55 is not limited to a turnover spring, as long as it can reverse the biasing direction of the connecting portion 51. In the first embodiment, the support mechanism 50 does not necessarily have to include the biasing member 55.

[0061] In the first embodiment, the through-hole 40b may be covered with a transparent cover, which can still achieve the same effect as the above effect (1-2). In the first embodiment, the through-hole 40b may be formed only on the outer surface of the rear portion of the second peripheral wall 42 at the first position P1. In this case, when the second accommodating portion 40 is located at the second position P2, the entire first accommodating recess 30a is covered by the second peripheral wall 42. This makes the first accommodating recess 30a invisible from within the vehicle cabin.

[0062] In the first embodiment, the through hole 40b may be circular and larger than the circular opening of the first storage recess 30a. In this case, when the second storage section 40 is located at the second position P2, the entire opening of the first storage recess 30a is located inside the through hole 40b when viewed from the opening direction of the first storage recess 30a. Therefore, when the second storage section 40 is located at the second position P2, the first item A1 can be stored in the first storage section 30 through the through hole 40b. Therefore, the first item A1 can be stored in the first storage recess 30a without the second storage section 40 being located at the first position P1.

[0063] In the first embodiment, the second accommodating portion 40 does not necessarily have to have the through-hole 40b.
