Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a storage case for a vehicle that can also store a cassette tape that is mounted in an instrument panel of the vehicle so that it can be freely inserted and removed.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a vehicle, a cassette tape was left naked or stored in an ordinary case.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, there is a problem that if left naked, dust will be attached, or heat will affect the quality, and the quality will be deteriorated. When it is stored in the case, there is a problem that it is shaken by the vibration and the tape surface is in contact with the inner wall surface of the case and is damaged.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and corresponds to a shaft hole of a cassette tape housed in a case that is mounted in and out of an instrument panel of a vehicle. A prismatic base with integrally protruding holder shafts is pivotally supported so that each surface is held flush with the upper surface of the case bottom plate.
The case bottom plate is characterized in that a space for storing the holder shaft in the bottom plate is formed when the base is rotated and held by 90 degrees.

Hereinafter, a specific description will be given based on the illustrated embodiment. 1
The instrument panel 2 of the automobile is a flat-box-shaped storage case in which the instrument panel 2 is freely inserted and removed. 3 is a rod-shaped base with a quadrangular cross section, 4 and 4 are shafts at both ends, and the bottom plate 1a of the storage case 1
When it is fitted in the concave portion 1b of the base plate and is rotated about the shafts 4, 4 by 90 degrees, the upper surface is flush with the surface of the bottom plate 1a.
One shaft 4 tip 4a is formed in a square shape, and a screw 5 is formed on the upper surface thereof.
The leaf springs 6 fixed by means of pressure contact with each other so that the rotation of the shaft 4 is stopped in every 90 degrees. Reference numerals 7 and 7 denote holder shafts that are fitted to the axial holes of the cassette tape projecting on both sides of the base 3, and the outer circumference of the axial hole of the cassette tape from the arc center of the semi-cylindrical portion 7a corresponding to half the axial hole of the cassette tape. A locking piece 7b that is fitted into one of the many radial grooves of the.
Reference numerals 1c, 1c are recesses for accommodating the holder shaft 7 when the base 3 is rotated 90 degrees, and a finger hole 1d is formed in the middle thereof.

Next, the operation will be described. When the cassette tape is to be stored, the holder shafts 7, 7 are projected above the bottom plate 1a as shown in FIG. 2, and the shaft holes of the cassette tape are inserted into the holder shafts 7, 7 and the locking pieces 7b are inserted into the cassette tape. It is locked in one of the radial grooves of the shaft hole, and the semi-cylindrical portion 7a abuts against the inner end surface of the radial hole of the shaft hole to prevent backlash.

When the cassette tape is not stored, press the center of the base 3 in FIG. 2 with a finger and rotate it 90 degrees to move the holder shaft 7, as shown in FIG.
7 is stored in the recesses 1c, 1c and fixed in that state by the leaf spring 6. Therefore, there is no member projecting on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1a, and it is possible to store cards in the same manner as a normal accessory case.

The base 3 may use other means such as a coil spring,
The holder shaft may also have another shape.

(Effects) According to the present invention, a prismatic base having a holder shaft corresponding to a shaft hole of a cassette tape housed in a case mounted so as to be freely inserted into and removed from an instrument panel of a vehicle is integrally formed. Each surface is pivotally supported so that it is held flush with the upper surface of the case bottom plate, and the case bottom plate has a space for storing the holder shaft in the bottom plate when the base is rotated 90 degrees. In addition, the cassette tape can be stably stored without rattling, and it can be used as a normal accessory case without any protruding portion on the case bottom plate if necessary, and can be versatile.
