Description

Technical Field

[0004] ,

[0005]

[0001] This invention relates to an in-vehicle holder for placing beverage containers and the like in a vehicle.

Background Art

[0002] In commercial vehicles such as trucks, drivers and passengers may eat, drink, or take breaks inside the vehicle. When drivers and passengers take breaks in the vehicle, they may not only eat and drink but also use portable terminal devices such as smartphones and tablet terminals. Since the interior space of the vehicle is limited, a structure has been proposed in which a beverage container and a portable terminal device are placed in a common holder. For example, there is a structure in which a smartphone is placed on a tray forming the bottom surface of a drawer-type drink holder (for example, Patent Document 1 below), and a structure in which a drink holder is used as a placement location for a smartphone (see, for example, Patent Document 2 below).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in a structure in which a portable terminal device is placed on a flat tray as in Patent Document 1, since the portable terminal device is placed in a posture lying on a flat surface, it is inconvenient to use the portable terminal device, for example, to operate the portable terminal device or view the display of the portable terminal device. Also, in a structure in which a smartphone is placed in a drink holder as in Patent Document 2, when a portable terminal device is placed, it cannot be used as a drink holder.

[0005] Therefore, with conventional in-car holders, there was room for improvement in the ease of use (usability) of the mobile device when applying a structure for holding a mobile device to a holder designed for beverage containers. This invention was conceived in light of the above-mentioned issues, and one of its objectives is to ensure the usability of a portable terminal device in a structure that holds a portable terminal device using a holder for a beverage container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] This project was undertaken to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems and can be implemented in the following forms or applications.

[0007] The in-vehicle holder in this application example includes: a tray portion that is provided in a panel portion that forms part of the interior of the vehicle's cabin and is retractable and openable along the sliding direction, with a holding portion for holding a beverage container formed on its upper surface; an arm portion that extends along the sliding direction on the upper surface of the tray portion and is rotatably supported with respect to the upper surface at a base end located on one side of the sliding direction, and when the tray portion is in the closed state housed in the panel portion, it folds in a position along the upper surface, and when the tray portion is in the open state pulled out from the panel portion, it is held in a position inclined upward toward the other side of the sliding direction from the base end; and a recess provided on the upper surface of the tray portion on the other side of the sliding direction, which cooperates with the tip of the arm portion to support a portable terminal device in a position leaning against the upper surface. The tip of the arm portion is provided with a first support portion that supports the back surface of the mobile terminal device when the mobile terminal device is in a vertical position with its longitudinal direction upright relative to the top surface, and a second support portion that supports the back surface of the mobile terminal device when the mobile terminal device is in a horizontal position with its short direction upright relative to the top surface. The recess is provided with a first recess for installing the mobile terminal device in the vertical position and a second recess for installing the mobile terminal device in the horizontal position.

[0008] According to this application example, the tray portion, which has a holding portion for holding beverage containers formed on its upper surface, is equipped with an arm portion that folds when closed and holds the container in an upward-tilted position when open, and a recess that cooperates with the arm portion to support a portable terminal device in a position leaning against the upper surface of the tray portion. Therefore, a tray section equipped with a holding section for existing beverage containers can be used to hold the mobile terminal device. Consequently, a place for the mobile terminal device can be secured without affecting the layout of the in-vehicle equipment. Furthermore, even when a mobile device is installed in the in-car holder, the holder can still hold the beverage container, thus not reducing the functionality of existing beverage container holders.

[0009] Furthermore, the tip of the arm is provided with a first support section that supports the back of the mobile device in a vertical position, and a second support section that supports the back of the mobile device in a horizontal position. In addition, the recess is provided with a first recess for setting up the mobile device in a vertical position, and a second recess for setting up the mobile device in a horizontal position. Therefore, the mobile device can be set up in either a vertical or horizontal position. Furthermore, in both the vertical and horizontal orientations, the first or second support portion supports the back of the mobile device, and the first or second recess supports the lower end of the mobile device. Therefore, the in-car holder can achieve a holding force that allows the mobile device to be held stably even when the user touches the screen from the front side of the mobile device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to this invention, in a structure that holds a portable terminal device using a tray portion equipped with a beverage container holder, the usability of the portable terminal device can be ensured. It is possible. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0011] [Figure 1]This is a plan view of an in-vehicle holder according to one embodiment, viewed from above. [Figure 2] Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view along line AA illustrating an example of the configuration of the in-vehicle holder, where (A) shows the tray in the open state and (B) shows the tray in the closed state. [Figure 3] This diagram illustrates the vertical and horizontal orientations of a mobile device, with (A) showing the vertical orientation and (B) showing the horizontal orientation. [Figure 4] This is a cross-sectional view of the in-vehicle holder along line BB in Figure 1. [Figure 5] This is a plan view of a modified arm section, seen from above. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The embodiments (appearances, examples of application) of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are merely illustrative, and there is no intention to exclude various modifications or applications of techniques not explicitly shown in these embodiments. Each configuration of the embodiments described below can be modified in various ways without departing from their spirit. Furthermore, they can be selected or combined as needed.

[0013] In the following explanation, the front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions are defined relative to the vehicle. That is, the vehicle length direction corresponds to the "front-rear direction." The vehicle width direction corresponds to the "left-right direction," and left and right are determined relative to the vehicle's forward-facing orientation. The vehicle height direction corresponds to the "up-down direction." In Figures 1 to 5, the "front-rear direction" is indicated by symbol D1, the "left-right direction" by symbol D2, and the "up-down direction" by symbol D3, while "FR" is written forward, "LH" to the left, and "UP" to the top.

[0014] [1. Structure] Figure 1 is a plan view of an in-vehicle holder 1 according to one embodiment, viewed from above. Figures 2(A) and 2(B) are cross-sectional views along line AA shown in Figure 1, illustrating an example of the configuration of the in-vehicle holder 1.

[0015] The in-vehicle holder 1 is mounted in a panel portion 2 that forms part of the interior of a vehicle cabin to place articles such as food and drink including beverage containers and a portable terminal device 9, etc. The vehicle type of the vehicle on which the in-vehicle holder 1 is mounted is not limited. For example, it may be a commercial vehicle such as a truck or a passenger car. When the vehicle is a truck, the interior of the vehicle refers to the interior of the cab provided at the front of the truck.

[0016] The panel portion 2 is part of the interior of the vehicle cabin, that is, a part that constitutes the inner wall surface. The panel portion 2 is, for example, an instrument panel disposed in front of the driver's seat or the passenger seat not shown in the figures. Hereinafter, assuming that the panel portion 2 is an instrument panel, a configuration example of the in-vehicle holder 1 will be described.

[0017] The in-vehicle holder 1 includes a tray portion 3 provided in the panel portion 2 so as to be openable and closable in a drawer-like manner along the sliding direction. The tray portion 3 is a base plate for placing articles such as beverage containers and the portable terminal device 9, etc. in the in-vehicle holder 1, and is formed of a flat plate-like member. The sliding direction is the direction in which the tray portion 3 slides when opening and closing the tray portion 3 with respect to the panel portion 2. In this specification, one side of the sliding direction is defined as the direction in which the tray portion 3 is pulled out from the panel portion 2 (open direction), and the other side of the sliding direction is defined as the direction in which the tray portion 3 is housed in the panel portion 2 (closed direction).

[0018] When the panel portion 2 is an instrument panel provided in front of the seat, the tray portion 3 is provided so as to be slidable along the front-rear direction with respect to the panel portion 2. In this case, the sliding direction corresponds to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Specifically, the rear of the vehicle corresponds to one side of the sliding direction, that is, the direction in which the tray portion 3 is pulled out from the panel portion 2 (open direction). Also, the front of the vehicle corresponds to the other side of the sliding direction, that is, the direction in which the tray portion 3 is housed in the panel portion 2 (closed direction).

[0019] Figures 1 and 2(A) show the tray section 3 in the open state, and Figure 2(B) shows the tray section 3 in the closed state. In the closed state shown in Figure 2(B), the tray section 3 is housed in a storage space 2A (shown as a dashed line in Figure 1) that is recessed forward of the vehicle compared to the panel section 2, and does not extend rearward beyond the panel section 2. On the other hand, in the open state shown in Figures 1 and 2(A), the tray section 3 is pulled out rearward from within the storage space 2A of the panel section 2 and extends rearward beyond the panel section 2. Note that in Figures 2(A) and (B), for illustrative purposes, the tray section 3 is depicted as sliding approximately horizontally along the front-to-back direction. However, the tray section 3 may be mounted so as to slide in an upward-tilting position towards the rear relative to the panel section 2.

[0020] A holding portion 4 for holding beverage containers is formed on the upper surface 3A of the tray portion 3. The upper surface 3A is positioned facing upward in the tray section 3 and has a flat surface shape extending in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. The tray section 3 has two holding sections 4, each capable of holding one beverage container, arranged side by side in the left-to-right direction. Each holding portion 4 includes a hole 4A into which a beverage container is inserted, a bottom portion 4B that supports the bottom surface of the container inserted into the hole 4A, and a support piece 4C that supports the side surface of the container inserted into the hole 4A. A well-known structure can be applied to these holding portions 4.

[0021] In addition to the holding portion 4 for holding beverage containers, the tray portion 3 includes an arm portion 5 and a recess 6 as a structure for holding a portable terminal device 9 [see Figure 2(A)]. Here, the mobile terminal device 9 is a portable information terminal device having a plate-shaped (slate-shaped) housing, such as a smartphone or tablet. Mobile terminal devices 9, such as smartphones and tablet devices, generally have a thin plate-shaped housing with a rectangular outline, a display on its surface 9A, and are operated by touching the display (screen touch operation).

[0022] The arm portion 5 is a member that extends along the sliding direction (in this case, the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle) on the upper surface 3A of the tray portion 3. As shown in Figure 1, the shape and arrangement of the arm portion 5 are set so that they do not interfere with (do not overlap with) the holding portion 4 when viewed from above. Therefore, even though the arm portion 5 extends onto the upper surface 3A of the tray portion 3, the holding portion 4 can still hold beverage containers. The arm portion 5 shown in Figure 1 consists of a substantially T-shaped member when viewed from above, and includes a shaft portion 5A that extends linearly along the front-rear direction, and a tip portion 5B that is positioned on the other side of the shaft portion 5A in the sliding direction (rear of the vehicle) and extends in the left-right direction in a position intersecting the shaft portion 5A. As shown in Figure 1, the shaft portion 5A and the tip portion 5B are smoothly connected via a fan-shaped portion that spreads from front to rear in the left-right direction. Therefore, the area of ​​the connection between the shaft portion 5A and the tip portion 5B can be made larger, and the rigidity of the arm portion 5 can be increased.

[0023] The arm portion 5 (shaft portion 5A) is rotatably supported with respect to the upper surface 3A at its base end portion 5C, which is located on one side in the sliding direction (in this case, the front of the vehicle). In the arm portion 5, the tip portion 5B located on the other side in the sliding direction (in this case, the rear of the vehicle) includes support portions 11A and 11B that cooperate with the recess 6 to support the mobile terminal device 9, as will be described later. The base end portion 5C of the arm portion 5 is positioned in front of the holding portion 4, and the tip portion 5B is positioned behind the holding portion 4.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2(A), when the tray section 3 is in the open position, the arm section 5 is held in a position inclined upward toward the rear from its base end 5C. More specifically, a torsion spring 7 is attached to the pivot point 3B that rotatably supports the base end 5C of the arm portion 5 on the upper surface 3A, and this torsion spring 7 constantly biases the arm portion 5 upward. Due to the biasing force of this torsion spring 7, the arm portion 5 is held in a position inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface 3A. Alternatively, an auxiliary piece 8 may be provided on the lower surface of the arm portion 5 (shaft portion 5A) so as to be rotatable relative to the shaft portion 5A, and the auxiliary piece 8 may be propped up against the upper surface 3A to support the arm portion 5 in an inclined position.

[0025] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2(B), when the tray section 3 is in the closed position, the arm section 5 is folded in a position that is aligned with the upper surface 3A. Specifically, when the tray section 3 is in the closed state, housed in the storage space 2A, the upper wall 2B of the storage space 2A is positioned above the arm section 5. The arm section 5, by contacting the upper wall 2B, folds against the biasing force of the torsion spring 7, so as to lie along the upper surface 3A. When the arm section 5 is folded, the auxiliary piece 8 also folds so as to lie along the upper surface 3A.

[0026] In other words, the arm portion 5 is formed in a pop-up type that moves between an inclined position and a folded position in conjunction with the opening and closing of the tray portion 3. Specifically, when the tray portion 3 slides from the closed state to the open state, the contact point between the arm portion 5 and the upper wall 2B of the storage space 2A shifts forward of the arm portion 5. As the shaft portion 5A (arm portion 5) gradually emerges from the storage space 2A of the panel 2 portion towards the rear, the shaft portion 5A gradually moves backward and upward. Furthermore, when the tray section 3 is slid from the open position to the closed position, the contact point between the arm section 5 and the upper wall 2B shifts towards the rear of the arm section 5, causing the shaft section 5A, which was visible from the rear of the panel section 2, to gradually move forward and downward.

[0027] The recess 6 is recessed on the upper surface 3A of the tray portion 3 on the other side in the sliding direction (towards the rear of the vehicle), and is provided in cooperation with the tip portion 5B of the arm portion 5 to support the mobile terminal device 9 in a position leaning against the upper surface 3A. The recess 6 is recessed downward from the upper surface 3A and forms a groove that extends in the left-right direction. The recess 6 is located in a position that overlaps with the tip 5B of the arm portion 5 when viewed from above. In other words, the recess 6 is located behind the holding portion 4.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2(A), the mobile terminal device 9 is inserted into the recess 6 with its surface 9A facing backward. With the mobile terminal device 9 inserted into the recess 6 in this manner, the tip 5B of the arm portion 5 contacts the back surface 9B of the mobile terminal device 9, thereby supporting the mobile terminal device 9 in a position leaning against the top surface 3A.

[0029] Next, we will describe the detailed configuration of the tip portion 5B of the arm portion 5 and the recess 6. This in-vehicle holder 1 can hold the mobile terminal device 9 in two positions: vertical and horizontal. Figures 3(A) and 3(B) are explanatory diagrams of the vertical and horizontal positions of the mobile terminal device 9. As shown in Figure 3(A), the position in which the longitudinal direction L of the mobile terminal device 9 is raised relative to the top surface 3A is called the "vertical position". Also, as shown in Figure 3(B), the position in which the short direction of the mobile terminal device 9 is raised relative to the top surface 3A is also called the "vertical position". In Figure 2(A), the mobile terminal device 9 in a vertical orientation is depicted with a solid line, while the mobile terminal device 9 in a horizontal orientation is depicted with a dashed line.

[0030] The tip portion 5B of the arm portion 5 is provided with a first support portion 11A that supports the mobile terminal device 9 in a vertical position from the back surface 9B, and a second support portion 11B that supports the mobile terminal device 9 in a horizontal position from the back surface 9B. The first support portion 11A is formed by cutting out a U-shape forward from the center of the left-right direction at the tip portion 5B when viewed from above. More specifically, the first support portion 11A is composed of a space enclosed in a U-shape by a front edge 11AF positioned forward and extending along the left-right direction, and a pair of side edges 11AL and 11AR extending backward from both ends of the front edge 11AF. The front edge 11AF of the first support portion 11A contacts the back surface 9B of the handheld terminal device 9 in a vertical position, and each side edge 11AL and 11AR supports both sides of the handheld terminal device 9 in a vertical position. The dimensions of the front edge 11AF and each side edge 11AL and 11AR can be appropriately set based on the dimensions of the handheld terminal device 9 in a vertical position.

[0031] The second support portion 11B is located behind and outward in the left-right direction compared to the first support portion 11A. More specifically, the second support portion 11B includes a pair of edges 11BL and 11BR extending outward on both the left-right and right-left sides from the rear ends of each side edge 11AL and 11AR of the first support portion 11A. The edges 11BL and 11BR are the rearmost parts of the tip portion 5B. These edges 11BL and 11BR contact the back surface 9B of the handheld terminal device 9 in a horizontal position. The dimensions (left-right length) of each edge 11BL and 11BR can be appropriately set based on the dimensions of the handheld terminal device 9 in a horizontal position. In addition, anti-slip members such as felt or rubber may be attached to each edge 11BL and 11BR to enhance the stability of the handheld terminal device 9.

[0032] The recess 6 is provided with a first recess 6A for installing a portable terminal device 9 in a vertical position and a second recess 6B for installing a portable terminal device 9 in a horizontal position. The first recess 6A is formed in front of the second recess 6B, has a narrower width in the left-right direction than the second recess 6B, and is deeper in the up-down direction than the second recess 6B. The second recess 6B is formed behind the first recess 6A, has a wider width in the left-right direction than the first recess 6A, and is shallower in the up-down direction than the first recess 6A.

[0033] As shown in Figures 2(A) and (B), the first recess 6A and the second recess 6B are not separated by a partition and are in communication with each other. That is, in the region of the recess 6 where both the first recess 6A and the second recess 6B exist in the center in the left-right direction, the recess 6 has a two-tiered concave shape with two bottom surfaces of different heights in the front-back direction. As described above, the width of the first recess 6A in the left-right direction is narrower than that of the second recess 6B, so in the left-right lateral region of the recess 6, the first recess 6A does not exist and only the second recess 6B exists. In the region of the recess 6 where only the second recess 6B exists in the left-right lateral direction, the recess 6 has a concave shape with only a single bottom surface, as shown in Figure 4.

[0034] As shown by the solid line in Figure 2(A), when the mobile terminal device 9 is installed in a vertical position, the lower end of the mobile terminal device 9 is placed in the first recess 6A, and the first support part 11A supports the mobile terminal device 9 near its vertical center on the back surface 9B. At this time, the mobile terminal device 9 is leaned against the first support part 11A in a slightly forward-tilted position. Therefore, the lower end of the mobile terminal device 9 contacts the front wall surface of the first recess 6A on the front surface 9A side, and also contacts the upper edge of the rear wall surface of the first recess 6A on the back surface 9B side. Furthermore, both sides of the mobile terminal device 9 are also supported by the first support part 11A. In this case, the mobile terminal device 9 is supported by the first recess 6A and the first support portion 11A at multiple points, including three points on its front surface 9A and back surface 9B that are separated vertically. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted holder 1 can stably hold the mobile terminal device 9 in a vertical position.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 2(A), when the mobile terminal device 9 is installed in a horizontal position, the lower end of the mobile terminal device 9 is placed in the second recess 6B, and the upper end of the back surface 9B of the mobile terminal device 9 is supported by the second support part 11B. In this case, the mobile terminal device 9 is leaned against the second support part 11B in a position slightly tilted forward. Therefore, the lower end of the mobile terminal device 9 is in contact with the front wall surface of the second recess 6B on the front surface 9A side. In this case, the mobile terminal device 9 has its longitudinal side surface in surface contact with the bottom surface of the second recess 6B, and is supported by the second recess 6B and the second support portion 11B at two points on its surface 9A and back surface 9B that are separated vertically. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted holder 1 can stably hold the mobile terminal device 9 in a horizontal position.

[0036] Since the tip 5B and recess 6 of the arm portion 5 are located behind the holding portion 4, the portable terminal device 9 does not interfere with the beverage container held by the holding portion 4, whether in a vertical or horizontal orientation. Therefore, the portable terminal device 9 held by the tip 5B and recess 6 of the arm portion 5 can be used while the beverage container is being held by the holding portion 4. Furthermore, the inclination of the arm portion 5 (angle with respect to the upper surface 3A) and the length of the arm portion 5 in the front-to-back direction when the tray portion 3 is set to the open position can be appropriately set to an angle and length that allows the back surface 9B of the mobile terminal device 9 to be properly supported in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2(A) and (B), a through-hole 12 is provided in the bottom surface of the first recess 6A for inserting the charging connector of the mobile terminal device 9. This allows the charging connector of the charging cable routed from the panel section 2 to be inserted through the through-hole 12 from the bottom surface to the top surface. Therefore, when the mobile terminal device 9 is placed in a vertical position in the first recess 6A, the mobile terminal device 9 can also be charged.

[0038] [2. Action and Effects] According to the above-described in-vehicle holder 1, the holder portion 4 for holding a beverage container is formed on the upper surface 3A of the tray portion 3, and includes an arm portion 5 that folds when closed and holds the beverage container in an upward-tilted position when open, and a recess 6 that cooperates with the arm portion 5 to support the mobile terminal device 9 in a position leaning against the upper surface 3A. Therefore, the portable terminal device 9 can be held using the tray section 3 equipped with an existing beverage container holding section 4. Thus, a place to put the portable terminal device 9 can be secured without affecting the layout of the in-vehicle equipment. Even when a mobile terminal device 9 is installed in the vehicle-mounted holder 1, the holding part 4 can still hold the beverage container, so the mobile terminal device 9 can be installed without reducing the functionality of the existing beverage container holder.

[0039] The tip 5B of the arm portion 5 is provided with a first support portion 11A that supports the back surface 9B of the mobile terminal device 9 in a vertical position, and a second support portion 11B that supports the back surface 9B of the mobile terminal device 9 in a horizontal position. Furthermore, the recess 6 is provided with a first recess 6A for installing the mobile terminal device 9 in a vertical position, and a second recess 6B for installing the mobile terminal device 9 in a horizontal position. Therefore, the mobile terminal device 9 can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal position. Furthermore, in both the vertical and horizontal orientations, the first support portion 11A or the second support portion 11B supports the back surface 9B of the mobile terminal device 9, and the first recess 6A or the second recess 6B supports the lower end of the mobile terminal device 9. Therefore, the in-vehicle holder 1 can achieve a holding force that allows the mobile terminal device 9 to be held stably even when the user touches the screen from the front surface 9A side of the mobile terminal device 9.

[0040] Therefore, according to the above-described in-vehicle holder 1, in a structure that holds a portable terminal device 9 using a tray portion 3 equipped with a beverage container holding portion 4, the usability of the portable terminal device 9 can be ensured.

[0041] [3. Others] The configuration of the in-vehicle holder 1 described above is just one example. For example, the shape of the arm portion 5 is not limited to the approximate T-shape described above. Figure 5 shows a modified example of the arm portion. In Figure 5, components common to those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and explanations are omitted as appropriate. The arm portion 10 shown in Figure 5 has a flat plate shape with a roughly rectangular outline that substantially overlaps the upper surface 3A of the tray portion 3 when viewed from above, and a first support portion 11A and a second support portion 11B are provided at the tip portion 10B of the arm portion 10. Holes 13 for inserting beverage containers are provided through the flat plate-shaped arm portion 10, corresponding to each holding portion 4, and since beverage containers can be supported by the holes 13 of the arm portion 10, the stability of the beverage containers is increased.

[0042] Furthermore, the in-vehicle holder 1 is not limited to the instrument panel; it can be mounted anywhere on the panel section 2 inside the vehicle's interior. For example, if the in-vehicle holder 1 is mounted on a panel section forming the side wall inside the vehicle's interior, the sliding direction of the tray section 3 corresponds to the left-right direction.
