<< Embodiment >> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a storage case 1 for a vehicle card or the like according to the present invention mounted on a cluster 2 as an interior front surface of a vehicle, and FIG. 2 is a view for closing the storage case 1 for a vehicle card or the like according to the present invention. It is a perspective view which shows the opened state.

The storage case 1 for the vehicle card or the like may be provided on an instrument panel other than the cluster 2. In FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, 3 is an outer case fixed in the cluster 2, and 4 is a storage case body such as a card mounted in the outer case 3 so as to be freely inserted and removed. Reference numeral 4a denotes a face panel, which is located on the front surface of the storage case body 4 for cards and the like, and by pushing this, a lock mechanism (not shown) is released, and the piston rod 6 of the air damper 5 is gently projected so as to be shown in FIG. In this way, the rear wall 4b of the storage case body 4 for cards and the like is pushed from the rear, so that the storage case body 4 for cards and the like is gently pulled out to the front surface of the cluster 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes a pair of L-shaped turning levers, which extend upward and forward from a bending base point 7a, respectively, and the bending base point 7a can be turned inside a side plate 4c of a storage case body 4 such as a card by a screw 8. Is supported by.
A lifting arm 9 is laterally provided at the front end 7b of the L-shaped turning lever 7, and the L-shaped turning levers 7 on the left and right sides are integrated via the lifting arm 9. Reference numeral 10 denotes an actuating piece projecting inside the upper wall 3a of the outer case 3, and a flange portion integrally formed at the lower end 10
A coil spring 11 is interposed between a and the upper wall 3a, and the operating piece 1
It is pushing 0 downwards. Reference numeral 12 is a projecting piece projecting from the upper portion of the actuating piece 10 and is composed of a C-shaped ring spring. A push-up cam 13 has an operating surface 13a having an inclined surface formed on the upper side, and an elongated hole 13b is formed along the center line. The operating piece 10 is inserted through the long hole 13b, and the protruding piece 12 is pushed up by the cam 1.
Since it is in contact with the operating surface 13a of 3, the operating piece can be moved by sliding the push-up cam 13 along the upper surface of the outer case 3.
You can push up 10. Reference numeral 14 is an operating rod which horizontally rotates about a fulcrum 15, one end of which is connected to the push-up cam 13 and the other end of which is fixed with a knob 16 as an operating body.
Therefore, by moving the operation body 16 in the arrow direction, the push-up cam 13 also moves in the arrow direction. Of course, the long hole 13
b is set in an arc centered around the fulcrum 15. If the operating body 16 is displaced to the left, the operating piece 10 is lowered by the urging force of the coil spring 11 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, and as shown in FIG. When the body 4 is pulled out, the upper end 7c of the L-shaped turning lever 7 contacts the operating piece 10,
The L-shaped rotation lever 7 rotates in the arrow direction, and the elevating arm 9 is displaced upward. Conversely, when the operating body 16 is displaced to the right, the push-up cam 13 is displaced to the left, and the operating piece 10 is moved along the slope of the operating surface 13a of the push-up cam 13 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. When the storage case body 4 such as a card is pulled out, the upper end 7c of the L-shaped turning lever 7 does not contact the operating piece 10.

As described above, by pushing the face panel 4a, the lock mechanism (not shown) is released, and the air damper 5 is released.
By the forward action of the piston rod 6 of the
The rear wall is pushed from the rear, so that the storage case body 4 such as a card is gently pulled out to the front surface of the cluster 2. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the storage case body 4
When is fully pulled out, the operating piece 10 comes into contact with the upper end 7c of the L-shaped turning lever 7 and pulls it up in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4, so that the upper end of the storage card is pulled up obliquely upward. You can easily remove the card using your fingertips.

When coins or small items are stored in the storage case body 4, the operating body 16 is previously shifted to the right and the lifting cam 13 is moved.
By moving it to the left,
While pushing up the operating piece 10 via 12, the storage case body 4
Even if the lever is pulled out to the limit, the L-shaped turning lever 7 remains stationary due to its own weight. Therefore, there is no hindrance to the entry or exit of coins or small items. Rather, the elevating arm 9 serves as a frictional resistor, which facilitates removal of stored items.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, which is an L-shaped turning lever 7
Is provided on one side without being provided on both sides. Although the elevating arm 9 is cantilevered, it is functionally not much different from that supported on both sides.

FIG. 8 shows a modification of the push-up cam, in which the operating piece 16 'is moved up and down by displacing the operating body 16' back and forth.

Although the automatic pushing mechanism using the air damper is used in the above embodiment, it may be manually pulled out without using such a mechanism.

<< Advantages of the Invention >> As described above, according to the present invention, the bending base point of the L-shaped rotating lever is pivotally supported inside the side plate of the storage case body, and the elevating arm is perpendicular to the front end of the L-shaped rotating lever. In a storage case for a vehicle card or the like in which an operation piece that comes into contact with the upper end portion of the L-shaped rotation lever and rotates it when the storage case body is pulled out horizontally is projected on the inside of the upper wall of the outer case. , The operating piece of the push-up cam, which slides along the upper surface of the outer case by the operating body, is brought into contact with the projecting piece protruding from the upper part of the operating piece, so that the operating piece moves upward against the spring force. Push up,
As a result, the operating piece can be removed from the upper end of the L-shaped turning lever, so that when storing coins and small items other than cards,
If the operating piece is pushed upward by the push-up cam by the operating body, the L-shaped turning lever avoids contact, and therefore the position of the lifting arm is low due to its own weight, so it does not interfere with the entry and exit of coins and small items. On the other hand, when the card is accommodated, the operating piece is pushed up by the operating body through the cam and brought into contact with the upper end of the L-shaped turning lever when the storage case body is pulled out. Since the die rotation lever rotates and the elevating arm rises, the front of the storage card is lifted up and can be picked up with a fingertip. Also, when a used card is stored in the card case and pushed back, the operating piece and the L-shaped rotating lever separate, so the L-shaped rotating lever is restored by its own weight, so the card is stable near flat. It can be stored as it is.
