DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a console box mounted in a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Garbage generated inside a car (hereinafter simply referred to as a room) is thrown away in a garbage box placed in the room. However, it is not a problem when the room is large, but the trash can occupies the living space, so if the car is narrow, it will impair the livability and if there is no garbage, The existence of a trash can is useless. Also,
The trash can may fall over due to the impact of driving the car or the occupant's leg hitting, and the trash may be scattered indoors.

[0003] In addition to trash boxes, shopping bags provided when shopping at supermarkets, convenience stores, and the like are sometimes used as garbage bags indoors. The bags can be folded when not in use, so they do not occupy room space. There is also an advantage that garbage can be disposed of while being stored.

[0004] However, when this shopping bag is used as a garbage bag, since hanging devices for hanging the bag in the room are not usually provided, it is necessary to place the garbage on the indoor floor in a state where the garbage is stored. Become. In that case, the openings are tied to prevent dust from being discharged from the bag. However, if new garbage is subsequently generated, it is necessary to untie the bags, which is troublesome to handle.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a method which does not cause the above-mentioned problems when storing garbage in a room by using the shopping bag or the like, and more specifically, a driver's seat. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new garbage storage method using a center console box (simply referred to as a console box in the specification of the present application) provided between a passenger and a passenger seat.

[0006]

The inventor of the present invention has provided a mechanism for suspending a garbage bag at the rear end of the console box (on the rear side of the automobile). A person sitting in the back seat can easily throw in garbage without troublesome work such as opening and closing,
Also, as described above, the console box is located at the center in the width direction of the room, so that hanging the garbage bag does not substantially impair the livability of the person sitting in the rear seat,
And completed the invention of the present application.

That is, the present invention provides a console box body, a square frame rotatably attached to a rear end of the console box body about its lower end, and a rotation angle of the square frame. A console box comprising: an arm that regulates and suspends a garbage bag.

The arm of the present invention is disposed inside the console box main body, and has a fixing portion fixed at one end to the upper end portion of the frame, and an engaging portion fixed at the other end to the console box main body. Preferably, a stop is formed. The console box body is usually hollow, and by using the hollow portion to store and arrange the arms, the appearance of the console box is not affected and the width of the console box body is not increased. The effect is obtained.

The number of arms may be one as long as the function is achieved, but it is desirable to provide one arm at each of both ends in the width direction of the console box body. In this case, by suspending the two carrying portions of the shopping bag one by one on the arm, the opening state of the bag in the width direction can be kept good. Furthermore, if the hanging portions of the arm are formed at two places separated in the longitudinal direction, the open state of the bag in the longitudinal direction of the arm can be kept good.

In use, as shown in FIG. 2, the dust arm 40 rotates clockwise around the screw at the lower end, and the locking portion 42 of the dust arm 40 is positioned at the narrow portion of the arm insertion hole 21 to restrict the rotation. (This state is called an open state). When the two handbags 81 of the shopping bag 80 are engaged with the bag hanging claws 43 of the dust arm 40 in the opened state, the shopping bag 80
Are suspended through the opening 31 of the dust frame 30.

The dust arm 40 is disposed inside the console box main body 10, specifically, between the storage box 60 and the side wall of the console box main body 10. When the dust frame 30 is in the closed state, the dust arm 40 is entirely formed. 10, only the vicinity of the locking portion 42 is located in the console box main body 10 in the open state.

In this embodiment, the dust arm 40 is arranged inside the console box body.
Without affecting the appearance of the console box,
Also, the width of the console box body is not increased. However, in the present invention, the dust arm 4
Needless to say, 0 may be arranged outside the console box body 10.

In the present embodiment, the dust arm 4

Further, since the bag hanging portions 43 are formed in the dust arm 40 at two locations separated in the longitudinal direction, the open state in the longitudinal direction of the bag can be kept good. Therefore, dust can be input very easily. However, in the present invention, the number of the dust arms 40 may be one, or the bag hanging claw 43 may be formed at only one position on one dust arm.

Further, in this embodiment, the movement of the suspended shopping bag 80 is regulated by the rear end wall of the console box body 10 and the opening 31 of the dust frame 30, so that the shopping bag 80 swings when the automobile is running. Nothing.

When the dust is full, the dust arm 40
And remove the shopping bag 80 and discard it. When the dust is no longer generated, the dust frame 30 is returned to the closed state as shown in FIG. When the dust frame 30 is in the closed state, the armrest assembly can be rotated to place the canned beverage on the tray 53.

[0023]

As described above, according to the console box of the present invention, a person sitting in the rear seat can easily throw in garbage without complicated work such as opening and closing the bag every time garbage is generated. In addition, since the console box is located at the center in the width direction of the room, there is a remarkable effect that even if the garbage bag is suspended, the livability is hardly impaired.
If the arm is housed in the console box body, the appearance of the console box is not affected, and the width of the console box body is not increased. Further, arms are arranged one by one at both ends in the width direction of the console box main body.
If two arms are provided with two bag hanging portions, the open state of the bag can be kept good.
