[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an easy-to-use, low-cost automobile tool storage device installed and used in a rear trunk of a passenger car or the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Generally, automobiles such as passenger cars use a “tool set” consisting of multiple tools. Conventionally, a tool set such as a cloth case or vinyl leather case is used to create a suitable corner space in the rear trunk. It was simply put in and installed in.

However, with such a “tool set” storage method, the storage is poor, and the vibrations of the vehicle body collide with each other, and the necessary tools cannot be immediately taken out. Recently, various improved tool storage devices have been proposed.

For example, in the tool storage device (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-19950) shown in FIG. 7, a storage recess 2 is provided in a part of the rear trunk 1, and an opening / closing cover 3 that is covered by the recess 2 is provided. A plurality of tools T are stored in the inner surface of the opening / closing cover 3 or in the concave portion 2, the opening / closing cover 3 is closed when the tool T is not used, and the opening / closing cover 3 is opened to use the tool T. I took it out.

In addition, in the tool storage device (Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI No. 2-149889) shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, a storage recess 2 is also provided in a part of the rear trunk 1, and an opening for covering the recess 2 is provided. The point that the closing cover 3 is provided is similar to the above, but the tool case 4 containing the tool is detachably housed in the recess 2, and at the time of taking it out, it is lifted by the folding handle lever 5 which is self-contained. It is the one.

[0006]

However, in the case of the tool storage device shown in FIG. 7, it is necessary to go to the concave portion 2 in the rear trunk 1 every time the tool T is taken out or stored, which is inconvenient. .. Also, even when actually taking out or storing, it is difficult to use one hand to act on the recess 2 located at a relatively high position of the vehicle body and the opening / closing cover 3 that is still fixed to the recess 2, and it is quite troublesome and inconvenient to use. It was Further, since a considerable force is applied to the hinge portion of the opening / closing cover 3, there is a problem that high strength is required.

In this respect, in the case of the tool storage device of FIGS. 8 to 9, since the tool case 4 itself is removable, it is easy to take all the tools to the place of use, and good usability is obtained. However, due to the structure of the handle lever 5 that is foldable and the like, complication of the structure is inevitable and there is a problem in manufacturing cost.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation, and an object thereof is to provide an automobile tool storage device which can be manufactured at low cost while obtaining good usability. Is.

[0009]

【Example】

 1 to 4 show an embodiment of a vehicle tool storage device according to the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a storage recess made up of a small case 13 attached to a side plate 12 such as a rear trunk of a vehicle body, 14 is a box in which the opening 14a is stored in the recess 11, and 15 is a box. A tool holding cushion member, 16 is an opening / closing cover that opens and closes the opening 14a of the box 14, and 17 is a fixed shaft that also serves as a handle and that includes a rod-shaped body 18 that is held by slidingly penetrating the box 14.

The tool holding cushion member 15 corresponds to the outer shape of various tools T which are just press-fitted and accommodated in a sheet made of, for example, foamed polyurethane or foamed polyethylene resin, as shown in FIG. The crimping portion 15a is vertically pulled out and appropriately dispersed. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the member 15 is mounted in close contact with the inside of the box 14.

This mounting is not particularly limited, but in this example, a plurality of slit-shaped crimping pieces 14 c standing upright inside the side wall 14 b of the box 14 and the tool T standing upright from the bottom of the box 14 are installed. It is performed by a pair of sandwiching pieces (sandwiching claws) 14d, 14d which sandwiches. That is, when the tool holding cushion member 15 is strongly pressed into the box 14 through the opening 14a, the slit-shaped crimping piece 14c is press-fitted into the notch 15b on the side surface of the member 15 which has been previously cut. The outer sides of the pair of sandwiching pieces 14d and 14d are crimped to the inner side of the drawn-out crimping portion 15a, and are attached extremely stably without rattling. Therefore, in this mounting, no double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive is required, and good workability can be obtained.

In order to store various tools T in the box 14 in which the tool holding cushion member 15 is mounted in this manner, as shown in FIG. 2, the crimping portion 15 a having a corresponding shape is drawn out. The tool T may be pushed into the hole from above. Then, the tool T is clamped from the left and right by the pair of clamping pieces 14d, 14d, and at the same time, it is appropriately crimped by the cushion function from the entire circumference of the crimping portion 15a having the same shape, so that the storage is extremely stable. can get. Of course, in this stored state, various tools T of different types can be visually judged immediately, and good usability can be obtained. When taking out these tools T, it suffices to put in a finger to take out the expanded diameter taking-out portion 15c formed by expanding a part of the crimping portion 15a. When the tool T is stored or taken out, the tool holding cushion member 15 around the crimping portion 15a is not completely fixed by the adhesive tape or the adhesive, so that it can be delicately moved and is in good condition. Since it can be adjusted, the tool T can be easily stored and taken out.

On the other hand, the handle / fixed shaft 17 is slidably held in a through hole 14e formed in the bottom of the box 14, and a recess is formed at the tip of the rod-shaped body 18 on the box bottom side. 11 has a threaded portion 18a that is screwed into a female threaded member 19 provided at the bottom of 11, and the rod-shaped body 18 has a flattened top at the end of the box-shaped opening 18 at the box opening side. Is to have.

Therefore, in order to fix the box 14 in which the tool T is housed in the housing recess 11 of the vehicle body, the bottom side of the box 14 is fitted into the case 13 of the recess 11 as shown in FIG. When it is pushed in and pushed in, the tip screw portion 18a of the handle / fixed shaft 17 is automatically positioned to face the female screw member 19 at the bottom of the recess 11, so that the knob 18b of the handle / fixed shaft 17 is just as it is. All you have to do is screw in while pushing. As a result, both the threaded portion 18a of the handle-fixed fixed shaft 17 and the female threaded member 19 are screwed (screwed) and extremely firmly fixed. On the other hand, in order to remove the box 14 from this fixed state and use the tool T, the knob portion 18b of the handle / fixed fixed shaft 17 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the screwing, and at the same time, the knob portion 18b is lifted. As shown in FIG. 3, the box 14 may be carried to the place of use, and the desired tool T may be taken out from the crimp portion 15a of the tool holding cushion member 15. The knob 18b eliminates the need for a special handle lever or the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the opening / closing cover 16 for opening / closing the opening 14a of the box 14 is connected to, for example, the lower end of the case 13 forming the recess 11 via the hinge 16a, and A pivoting lock member 20 is provided on the upper edge portion, and the lock member 20 can be fixed by fitting the lock member 20 into the lock hole 13a at the upper end of the case 13. Therefore, the opening / closing cover 16 may be closed when the box 14 is fixed when the tool T is not used, and the locking member 20 may be unlocked and the opening / closing cover 16 may be opened when the tool T is used. In this opening / closing cover 16, since the opening / closing cover 16 itself is not subjected to such a large load, it is not necessary to increase the strength of the hinge portion 16a so much. It is recommended to coat the same interior material. The opening / closing cover 16 may be removed and omitted, or a transparent or semi-transparent resin cover may be provided so that the presence of the tool T can be seen at a glance.

5 to 6 show an embodiment of another vehicle tool storage device according to the present invention. This vehicle tool storage device is also basically the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, but in the present invention, the box 14 is provided with its opening, contrary to the case shown in FIGS. By fixing the portion 14a inwardly to the recessed portion 11 for storage, the bottom portion of the box 14 is used as a substitute for the cover, and the opening / closing cover 16 as described above is omitted. Of course, from the method of fixing the box 14 in the reverse direction, the handle / fixed shaft 17 for the box 14 is also set in the reverse direction, that is, the tip screw portion 18a is located at the opening 14a side of the box 14, and The knob 18b is located on the bottom side of the box 14, and preferably, the bottom of the box 14 surrounding the knob 18b has a truncated cone-shaped recess 14f for facilitating the operation of the knob 18b. Is preferably provided, or the outer surface side thereof is preferably covered with the same interior material as the interior material of the side plate 12.

Therefore, also in this embodiment, in order to fix the box 14 in which the tool T is stored in the storage recess 11 of the vehicle body, as shown in FIG. If it is inserted inwardly into the case 13 of the recess 11 and pushed in, the tip screw portion 18a of the handle / fixing shaft 17 is positioned just opposite to the female screw member 19 at the bottom of the recess 11, so that the handle / fixing portion is fixed as it is. It suffices to screw in the knob 18b of the shaft 17 while pushing it in. As a result, both the threaded portion 18a of the handle-holding fixed shaft 17 and the female screw member 19 are screwed together and are extremely firmly fixed. On the other hand, in order to remove the box 14 from this fixed state and use the tool T, the knob portion 18b of the handle / fixed shaft 17 is turned in the opposite direction to release the screwing, and at the same time, the knob portion 18b is lifted. As shown in FIG. 6, the box 14 may be carried to a place of use, and then the opening 14a of the box 14 may be turned upside down to take out the desired tool T from the crimping portion 15a of the tool holding cushion member 15.

It should be noted that the bottom of the box 14 may be provided with a protruding leg portion 14g for grounding, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, to reduce the grounding area and prevent damage or the like.

[Effect of the device]

 As is apparent from the above description, the vehicle tool storage device according to the present invention has the following excellent effects. (1) Fixing of a box that also holds a tool, which consists of a rod-shaped body slidably pierced and held in the box, the box containing the tool is fixed with screws (the threaded portion at the tip of the rod-shaped body and the female part of the recess). Since it is performed by screwing with a screw member), it is extremely firmly fixed. Therefore, it is strong against vibration of the vehicle body, and stable fixation can be obtained. (2) When this box is fixed, simply by fitting the box into the recess, the tip screw part of the handle-fixing shaft is automatically positioned facing the female screw member of the recess. It can be fixed very easily and is easy to use. (3) By adopting the above-mentioned fixed shaft that also serves as a handle, the box itself can be freely carried by using the gripping part of the fixed shaft when using a tool, so that good usability can be obtained. (4) Further, since the structure of the handle-fixed fixed shaft is extremely simple as compared with the conventional foldable handle lever and the like, a significant reduction in manufacturing cost can be expected. Of course, since there is no handle lever, a wasteful storage space for the handle lever is unnecessary, and effective use of the space can be expected. (5) Further, in the case of the handle-fixed fixed shaft, since it can be used and operated with one hand, good usability can be obtained in this respect as well. (6) When the box bottom is fitted in the recess with the opening of the box facing inward and the bottom of the box is used as a cover, an opening / closing cover is not required, further reducing the cost. Can be planned. (7) In addition, the circumference of the crimping part of the tool holding cushion member attached to the box is held in a slightly free state by the slit-shaped crimping piece, so that the tool can be stored and taken out easily, which is a good convenience. Sex is obtained.
