Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a fire cut plate of an automobile ashtray.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in an automobile ashtray, as shown in FIG. Hinge pin 2
By supporting the fire cut plate 3 in a swingable manner and urging the fire cut plate 3 upward by a torsion coil spring 4 wound around the hinge pin 2, the fire cut plate 3 is supported when the inner case 1 is pulled out. A device in which the ear cut plate 3 can be swung upward is known.

[Problems that the idea should solve]

Incidentally, in the above ashtray, through holes 6 are provided in both side walls 5, 5 of the inner case 1, and when installing the fire cut plate 3, first insert the hinge pin 2 into one of the through holes from the outside of the inner case 1. Through the hole 6, the hinge pin 2 is inserted into a curling portion 7, which has an arcuate cross section and serves as a fulcrum for the coil spring 4 and the fire cut plate 3.
According to this mounting method, in order to insert the hinge pin 2, the coil spring 4 and the curling portions 7, 7 need to be aligned, which poses a problem of complicating the installation work.

Also, after inserting the hinge pin 2, both the through holes 6 are inserted.
The hinge pin 2 is filled with adhesive 8 to prevent the hinge pin 2 from slipping out, but this method not only increases costs due to the use of adhesive, but also has problems in that the reliability of the retainer is poor. Ta.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and specifically includes: an outer case provided on the body side, an inner case supported by the outer case so that it can be pushed in and pulled out; Pushing in this inner case
The drawer is swingably supported by the inner case by a hinge shaft having both ends fixed to fixing parts protruding toward the inside of the inner case from one side wall and the other side wall in the direction of the drawer, and is wound around the hinge shaft. The ashtray for automobiles is composed of a fire cut plate that is biased upward by a coil spring, and the fixing part protrudes from the one side wall, and the fixing part extends from its protruding end toward the one side wall, and extends from one end of the hinge shaft. has a hole that is fitted from the axial direction, and the fixing part protruding from the other side wall is cut almost horizontally from one surface between the protruding end and the other side wall of the inner case. The other end of the hinge shaft has a groove into which the other end is fitted from a radial direction, and the inner case has a wall opposite to the open end of the groove of the other attachment part, on which one end of the coil spring is hung. It is characterized by

[Functions and effects of the invention]

As described above, according to the present invention, mounting portions are formed on both side walls of the inner case, a hole is provided in one of the mounting portions, and a groove cut in a substantially horizontal direction is provided in the other mounting portion. After inserting the hinge shaft through the coil spring and the fulcrum of the fire cut plate in advance, insert the hinge shaft from above the inner case (without penetrating the side wall of the inner case).
It can be easily attached to the above-mentioned attachment part.
That is, first, fit one end of the hinge shaft that has passed through the coil spring and fire cut plate into the hole of one mounting section, then horizontally insert the other end of the hinge shaft from the open end of the groove of the other mounting section. The hinge shaft can be attached by moving the coil spring in the direction of the coil spring, fitting it, and then hooking one end of the coil spring to the wall of the other attachment part.

In that case, since the through hole is not provided in the side wall of the inner case, the hinge shaft will not come off laterally from the inner case, and the wall portion on which one end of the coil spring is hung is in the groove portion. Since it faces the open end, the other end of the hinge shaft that fits into the groove is urged toward the back of the groove by the coil spring, ensuring that the other end of the hinge shaft does not come out of the groove. Prevented. Furthermore, since no adhesive is required to prevent the product from coming off, assembly costs are also reduced.

Furthermore, since the through hole in the side wall of the inner case can be eliminated, the number of processing steps can be reduced and the appearance of the inner case can also be improved.

〔Example〕

Examples of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 1, an automobile ashtray adopting the mounting structure according to the present invention basically has an inner case 11 pushed in by an outer case (not shown) provided on the body side, similar to the conventional example.・The fire cut plate 12 is supported in a drawable manner and pivoted to the inner case 11 so as to be swingable by a hinge pin 14 inserted through the curling portions 13, 13 of the fire cut plate 12. 12 is biased upward by a coil spring 15 wound around the hinge pin 14.

To explain in more detail, the above inner case 1
A mounting portion 17 is formed on the inner surface of one of the side walls 16, and a mounting portion 19 is formed at a corresponding position on the inner surface of the other side wall 18.

Then, as shown in FIG.
7 is provided with a hole 21 into which one end 14a (not shown in FIG. 2) of the hinge pin 14 is fitted, and a hole 21 is provided near the open end of the hole 21 to facilitate insertion of the hinge pin 14. A tapered portion 21a is provided.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the other mounting portion 19 has a pair of upper and lower projections 2 extending forward, respectively.
A stepped groove 24 into which the other end 14b of the hinge pin 14 is fitted is formed between 2 and 23, and
In front of the open end (front end) of the groove portion 24, a wall portion 25 is provided upright on one end side of the coil spring 15 and on which a bent portion 15a extending laterally in parallel with the hinge pin 14 is hung. . The other end 15b of the coil spring 15 is hooked to the lower surface of the fire cut plate 12. 2
6 is a fire extinguishing part provided with unevenness 27 for extinguishing a cigarette, and 28 is a handle.

When installing the fire cut plate 12, first insert the hinge pin 14 into the holes of the curling parts 13, 13 of the fire cut plate 12 and the coil spring 15, then insert the fire cut plate 12 and the coil spring 15. Fit one end 14a of the hinge pin 14 into the hole 21 of one mounting part 17 from the axial direction of the hinge pin 14, and then fit the other end 14b of the hinge pin 14 into the groove 24 of the other mounting part 19 from the radial direction of the hinge pin 14. Once fitted, the bent end 15a of the coil spring 15 may be hooked onto the wall 25 of the other mounting portion 19.

In this way, one end 15a of the coil spring 15 is
When the hinge pin 14 is hooked onto the wall 25 located in front of the groove 24, the other end 14b of the hinge pin 14 is urged toward the back of the groove 25, so that the other end 14b of the hinge pin 14 is
4b will not come out of the groove 25. and,
In the above ashtray, when the inner case 11 is pulled out, the fire cut plate 12 is swung upward by the coil spring 15, as in the conventional case.

In embodying the present invention, as shown in FIG. The hinge pin 14 can be omitted by fitting into the hole 21 of one mounting part 17 and fitting the curling part 31 of the other into the groove 24 of the other mounting part 19. In that case, the coil spring 15
is wound around the other curling part 31.
