Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle umbrella holder cover installed in the interior of a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Although it may vary depending on the vehicle model, generally, there is no space provided to hold an umbrella inside the car, so when driving in the rain, you have no choice but to place a wet umbrella on the interior floor.

[0003] In this case, there is also a possibility of safety accidents occurring during operation due to unexpected situations, such as an unsecured umbrella rolling around inside the vehicle.

[0004] While some luxury car models feature a design where an umbrella is stored in a hole at the edge of the door, this structure requires the door to be opened to retrieve the umbrella, meaning that passengers (including the driver, co-passengers, and users) who wish to use it are inevitably exposed to the rain, even if only for a short time.

[0005] Furthermore, since it can only be applied to high-end vehicle models with thick doors, it is difficult to adopt this structure universally.

[0006] Meanwhile, although umbrella holders that hang on the seat or have a clip form are sold on the market, they take up space inside the vehicle, which can be an unnecessary waste of space when it is not raining, and even if they are attached and used only when it is raining, they must eventually be mounted in a separate space in the vehicle, so they need to be reconsidered in terms of effectiveness. The problem to be solved

[0007] The present invention is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems and aims to provide a vehicle umbrella holder cover that is built-in to an interior trim configured in the vehicle's interior and allows for optional umbrella mounting.

[0008] The problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to those mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned herein will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. means of solving the problem

[0010] It is desirable for the stopper to be placed on the path where the main body rotates to limit the angle of rotation of the main body.

[0011] The stopper has a 'C'-shaped cross-section structure with one side extended and open within the cover hole of the cockpit module.

[0012] The stopper may be equipped with an elastic member on the friction surface that contacts the main body.

[0013] The main body is equipped with a flange at the top between the hook and the base to prevent movement of the umbrella shaft.

[0014] The flange has a structure with chamfered corners.

[0015] The hook includes first and second hooks that protrude from the inner surface of the other end of the main body and are spaced apart from each other; and a catch projection protruding from the upper and lower ends of the first and second hooks, respectively.

[0016] Meanwhile, a vehicle umbrella holder cover according to another embodiment of the present invention is a structure built-in in a cover hole formed on a cockpit module of a vehicle, and comprises: a stopper positioned spaced apart inside the cover hole and having a fastening hole on a portion of the body; a main body hinge-coupled on the cover hole to open and close the cover hole, and including a touch groove recessed on the outer surface of one end and a base bent inward along the edge of the other end; and a hook protruding from the inner surface of the other end of the main body and snap-fitted into the fastening hole.

[0017] Here, the base can be adjusted to have a gap with the hook so as to support and secure various types of umbrella shafts placed between it and the hook.

[0018] For example, the base may have a sliding structure embedded in the other end of the main body that can be selectively extended.

[0019] At this time, a spring is built into the other end of the main body to connect the main body and the base. Effects of the invention

[0020] According to the present invention, a vehicle umbrella holder cover protrudes outward (toward the interior of the vehicle) when an umbrella is needed, and is built into the vehicle's interior when not in use, which is advantageous for space utilization.

[0021] Accordingly, the present invention eliminates the need to purchase a separate umbrella holder and can remove risk factors such as umbrellas rolling around.

[0022] In particular, the present invention provides better convenience than conventional methods by allowing for easy rotation of an appropriate range with a simple touch by the rider and enabling selective umbrella mounting. Brief explanation of the drawing
