Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial Application Field >> The present invention relates to a card case for a vehicle such as an automobile.

<< Prior Art >> With the recent widespread use of cash cards, gas station cards, etc. nationwide, there is an increasing demand for equipping a card case that can be pulled out to the front of the vehicle interior. As a conventional technique, there are a method of manually pulling out the card case, a method of pulling out the card case at a decelerated speed by releasing a lock using an air damper, and the like.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> By the way, in the conventional method, since a plurality of thin cards are directly stacked and held horizontally in the card case, when the cards are in the front, the fingertips of the card and the case body There was a problem that it took time to get the card out in time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to automatically push up the elevating arm when the card case body is pulled out to take out the stored card. It is intended to provide a card case for a vehicle that facilitates the above.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle card storage case according to the present invention is a card storage case that can be freely inserted into and removed from an outer case that is opened and fixed to the vehicle interior front. In a card case for a vehicle in which a body is housed, a bending base point of an L-shaped rotating lever extending upward and forward is pivotally supported inside a side plate of the card case body, and is lifted from a front end of the L-shaped rotating lever. The arm is installed at a right angle, and when the card case body is pulled out, an operating piece that comes into contact with the upper end of the L-shaped rotation lever and rotates is projected on the inside of the upper wall of the outer case.

<Operation> When the card holder case is pulled out, the upper end of the L-shaped rotation lever contacts the operating piece, and the L-shaped rotation lever rotates about the bending base point, so that the lifting arm in front rises. To do. Therefore, the front side of the storage card is lifted up and can be easily pinched by the fingertip, and the storage card can be easily taken out. Also, when a used card is stored in the card case body and the card case body is pushed in, the L-shaped rotating lever separates from the operating piece and is restored by its own weight.

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

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a vehicle card storage case 1 of the present invention is mounted on a cluster 2 serving as a vehicle interior front surface, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the vehicle card storage case 1 of the present invention is closed. It is a notch perspective view.

The vehicle card case 1 may be provided on an instrument panel other than the cluster 2. 1 to 5, 3 is an outer case fixed in the cluster 2, 4
Is a card case body that is mounted in and out of the outer case 3. Reference numeral 4a denotes a face panel, which is located on the front surface of the card holder case body 4 and is pushed to release a lock mechanism (not shown) so that the piston rod 6 of the air damper 5 is released.
As shown in FIG. 5, the rear wall 4b of the card-holding case body 4 is pushed from the rear by the gradual projecting operation of the card-holding case body 4, so that the card-holding case body 4 is gently pulled out to the front surface of the cluster 2. Numeral 7 is a pair of L-shaped turning levers, and their bending base points
7a extends upward and forward respectively, and the bending base point 7a
Is rotatably supported by a screw 8 inside the side plate 4c of the card case body 4. An elevating arm 9 is laterally provided at the front end 7b of the L-shaped rotating lever 7, and the left and right L-shaped rotating levers 7 are integrated via the elevating arm 9. A braking piece 10 is provided on the inner side of the upper wall 3a of the outer case 3 to prevent the card case body 4 from advancing more than necessary. Reference numeral 11 denotes an actuating piece projecting inside the upper wall 3a of the outer case 3, and the elastic leg piece 11a elastically inserts the upper wall 3a of the outer case 3 to displace it upward as shown in FIG. You can, but always the fifth
As shown in the figure, when the card holder case body 4 is pulled out to the limit as it is displaced, it comes into contact with the upper end 7c of the L-shaped rotation lever 7 and rotates it to raise the elevating arm 9. To do.

As described above, by pushing the face panel 4a, the lock mechanism (not shown) is released, and the air damper 5 is released.
The rear wall 4b of the card case 4 is pushed from the rear by the forward action of the piston rod 6 of the
Are gently drawn to the front of the cluster 2. And the fifth
As shown in the drawing, when the card case body 4 is pulled out to the limit, that is, when the rear wall 4b contacts the braking piece 10,
Since the operating piece 11 contacts the upper end 7c of the L-shaped rotating lever 7 and rotates it, the elevating arm 9 rises and the upper end of the card CD is pulled obliquely upward. You can then easily remove the card CD using your fingertips.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment, which is an L-shaped turning lever 7
Is provided on one side without being provided on both sides. In this case, the elevating arm 9 is cantilevered, but it is functionally not much different from the one supporting both sides. FIG. 7 shows a case where coins and the like are stored in the card case case 4, and by pushing up the operating piece 11 as much as possible, when the card case 4 is pulled out, the operating piece 11 is rotated L-shaped. Since the lever 7 does not come into contact, the elevating arm 9 is maintained in the lowered state without being pushed up. Therefore, it does not hinder the taking out of coins or the like, but rather serves as a frictional resistance element, which facilitates the taking out of stored items.

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, the present invention is directed to a vehicle card storage case in which a card storage case body is housed so as to be able to move in and out of an outer case that is opened and fixed to the front surface of the vehicle interior. The bending base point of the L-shaped rotating lever extending forward is pivotally supported inside the side plate of the card case body,
The elevating arm is installed horizontally at a right angle from the front end of the mold rotation lever, and when the card case is pulled out, the operation piece that contacts the upper end of the L-shaped rotation lever and rotates is projected inside the upper wall of the outer case. Therefore, when the card case body is pulled out, the L-shaped rotation lever rotates about the bending base point and the elevating arm rises, so that the front of the storage card is lifted obliquely upward,
You can easily pick it up with your fingertips and take it out. When the used card is stored in the card case and pushed back, the operating piece and the L-shaped rotation lever separate,
Since the mold rotation lever restores itself by its own weight, the card can be stored in a stable state close to flat.
