Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an in-vehicle accessory case and umbrella storage device that can be used to temporarily store smartphones, snacks, etc., within reach from the driver's seat in the vehicle, and to store an umbrella on rainy days. [Background technology]

[0002] Previously, there was no storage space within reach of the driver's seat for storing smartphones, snacks, etc., so these items were placed in the console box or on the passenger seat. Also, on rainy days, wet umbrellas were stored in the empty space on the passenger seat, either as is or in a plastic bag. Known examples include an in-car umbrella storage device (see Patent Document 1) designed to allow passengers to quickly store their umbrellas on rainy days and protect the interior of the vehicle from getting wet and dirty, an in-car umbrella stand (see Patent Document 2) that can be placed inside a car and allows umbrellas of various lengths to be easily organized, and is equipped with an extendable shaft with a stopper that is stable and will not tip over even if it comes into contact with passengers while the car is moving, and a vehicle umbrella stand (Utility Model Document 3) that is a device for holding umbrellas that can be attached to the corner of a vehicle.

[0004] In the past, smartphones, snacks, etc. were stored within reach of the driver's seat in the car, and these were swapped out on rainy days, but it was impossible to quickly and easily store a wet umbrella without getting the interior of the car wet. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

[0005] The storage device body includes a box-shaped accessory compartment with an opening at the top, and a cylindrical umbrella storage compartment at an appropriate position on the bottom of the accessory compartment for storing umbrellas. The accessory compartment has a detachable bottom cover that closes the open bottom of the umbrella storage compartment from above, and the bottom cover has a concave grip portion near the center of the surface. The umbrella storage section has a cylindrical base body portion that is integral with the bottom surface of the accessory compartment, and a cup-shaped front body portion that has a protruding head portion on the lower side of the base body portion, The front body portion has a joint at an upper tip portion, the base barrel section and the joint section have adhesive sections made of detachable magnetic materials at their respective contacting locations, and the base barrel section and the front barrel section are detachably connected to each other in a single line with the joint section sandwiched therebetween, the base body has an annular base portion at an upper end portion thereof that protrudes slightly inward and extends along an inner peripheral wall thereof, and the bottom cover portion is placed on a surface portion thereof to support the bottom cover portion; The base body has a bellows-folded structure that is vertically expandable and contractible, and has a cylindrical enclosure body built in, The envelope body is fixed near its upper tip to the back surface of the base, and near its lower tip to an appropriate position near the upper tip of the front body. The above-mentioned structure constitutes an in-car accessory case and umbrella storage device.

[0006] This invention makes it possible to store smartphones and snacks within reach from the driver's seat, something that was previously impossible, and to quickly and easily store and keep wet umbrellas in the car by swapping them out on rainy days without getting the inside of the car wet. Furthermore, since it does not get the interior of the car wet at all, it helps prevent mold growth and is also useful for hygiene. In addition, there is a storage compartment within reach from the driver's seat, which is convenient and useful, and when not needed or when riding in the passenger seat, it can be easily removed without any hassle, so it does not get in the way.
