Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container holder for a console box, and more particularly, to a console box provided in a driver's seat of a vehicle, which is provided with a container holder for accommodating a beverage container such as a coffee cup. The present invention relates to a proposal in which temperature-controlled air (cool air / warm air) from an air conditioner mounted on a vehicle is supplied to the container holder to maintain the temperature of the beverage in the container.

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a console box is generally provided between a driver's seat and a passenger seat of a passenger car. This console box has a console main body that defines an article storage section for storing various types of haberdashery inside, and is pivotally supported by the console main body so as to be openable and closable so that the upper opening of the article storage section is always closed. It basically consists of a console lid and a console lid.

Vehicles including passenger cars are often equipped with an air conditioner (air conditioner) for adjusting the temperature inside the vehicle, and the outlet of the temperature-controlled air (cool air / warm air) from this air conditioner is used. Generally installed on the dashboard of the driver's seat. For this reason, for example, in a passenger car divided into a driver's seat and a passenger seat on the rear side, the effect of air conditioning on the passenger seat side is often not enough. Therefore, in order to make the air conditioning in the passenger seats effective, the duct for the temperature-controlled air led out from the air conditioning equipment and directed to the dashboard is branched, and the branched duct is opened to the back of the driver's seat or the passenger seat. As a result, some proposals have been made to effectively supply temperature-controlled air to the customer side. Further aiming for the same effect,
A proposal has also been made that a branch side duct from the air conditioner is opened to the back side of the console box.

Further, when drinking coffee or other beverages in a vehicle, a container holder is widely used as a means for stably holding a container containing the beverage, for example, a coffee cup or an aluminum can. The container holder is, for example, a cage-shaped cylindrical body made of a hard plastic material, and is attached to, for example, a dashboard of a driver's seat via an adhesive means such as a double-sided tape. In many cases, a container holder for standing a plurality of beverage containers is provided in advance adjacent to the console box.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned current situation, when the beverage container is accommodated and held in the container holder, the following disadvantages are pointed out. For example, if you buy a cold cola can from a vending machine and serve it in a car,
During the operation, the cola can is held by the container holder. However, in summer or the like, the temperature of the cola may gradually rise to change the taste. Also, when drinking hot coffee in a car, the coffee cup is also held in the container holder, but there is a disadvantage that the temperature of the coffee gradually decreases in winter or the like.

As a countermeasure for such a case, a refrigerating box containing a regenerator and a reserving box utilizing heat generated by a chemical reaction are known, but replenishment of a regenerator or a chemical reactant is troublesome. And the duration of the effect is short. In addition, there are small refrigerators and refrigerators for in-vehicle use, but these are generally expensive and have drawbacks such as a heavy load on the in-vehicle battery. In addition, none of the above-mentioned means is designed to easily and stably hold a beverage container during drinking or to be easily taken out of the holding state. The disadvantage of having to do so is also pointed out.

[0007]
