Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile cup holder, and more particularly to an automobile cup holder which can be mounted on various vehicle types.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a cup holder slidably attached to an instrument panel in consideration of the appearance of the cup holder when not in use and the effective use of space.

In such a cup holder, a holder member for holding the upper portion of the cup is slidably mounted on an instrument panel (near the center of the lower portion of the instrument panel) several centimeters above the floor console, and the cup is placed. The floor console is used as a pedestal.

[0004]

However, in the cup holder having the above-mentioned structure, in a car having a small floor console such as a light car or a litter car, the manual mission or the shift lever operation of the automatic mission is operated. There were cases where the cup holder could not be attached in consideration of the sex.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-described conventional cup holder structure.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cup holder that slides in the front-rear direction and rotates in at least one of the left-right directions near the lower center of the instrument panel. I put on.

[0007]

[Operation] When the cup holder according to the present invention is used, it is pulled out from the instrument panel, and if there is interference with the shift lever, the interference with the shift lever can be avoided by rotating the cup holder. it can.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the instrument panel, in which 1 is an instrument panel and 2 is a front view.
2 is a cup holder according to the present invention mounted in parallel in the vicinity of the center of the lower part of the instrument panel 1.

The structure of the cup holder 2 is, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, a mounting bracket 4 fixed by a screw 3 near the center of the lower portion of the instrument panel 1.
The rivet 6 is inserted into the long hole 5 formed in the mounting bracket 4.
The holder member 7 is slidably mounted in the front-rear direction.

A rear end of the holder member 7 is formed in a semicircular shape, and an insertion hole 8 for the rivet 6 is formed at the center of the semicircle. Also, near the front center of the cup A
A large-diameter cup insertion opening 9 for inserting the insertion hole is formed, and a pedestal 10 is provided which extends downward from both ends of the circumference of the insertion opening 9 and connects the ends.

Since the cup holder 2 according to the present invention has the structure as described above, when the cup holder 2 is used, the holder member 7 is removed from the instrument panel 1 by utilizing the long hole 5 of the mounting bracket 4. Use drawer.

When the holder member 7 is in a positional relationship where it interferes with the shift lever B when the holder member 7 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 3, the holder member 7 is attached to the bracket 4. The rivet 6 is rotated about the rotation center to avoid interference with the shift lever B.

When the cup holder 2 is not used,
The holder member 7 is stored in the instrument panel 1.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment,
Various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, two cup holders mounted in parallel in the vicinity of the lower center of the instrument panel 1 have been described, but one cup holder or conversely three or more cup holders may be provided.

In addition, as a mounting structure of the holder member 7 that slides in the front-rear direction with respect to the instrument panel 1 and rotates in at least one of the left-right directions, in the above embodiment, the instrument panel having the elongated hole 5 is provided. The structure in which the holder member 7 is attached to the mounting bracket 4 fixed to 1 by the rivet 6 has been described.
For example, near the lower center of the instrument panel 1,
Alternatively, a long hole may be directly formed in the front-rear direction, and a holder member may be attached to the long hole by a rivet.

[0018]

The cup holder according to the present invention is mounted on the instrument panel in the front-back direction,
In addition, since it is mounted so as to rotate in at least one of the left and right directions, even in a vehicle model such as a light vehicle or a litter car where the floor console area is small and interference with the shift lever is expected, Interference can be avoided by turning, and the cup holder can be installed near the center of the lower part of the instrument panel, which has the best usability (near the ashtray is installed), regardless of the vehicle model.
