Description

本発明は車両用カップホルダ、特に車両走行時の振動によりカップホルダの底面部とこれに支えられた飲料容器類との間で発する打音を抑えるカップホルダに関する。   The present invention relates to a cup holder for a vehicle, and more particularly to a cup holder that suppresses a hitting sound generated between a bottom surface portion of the cup holder and beverage containers supported by the cup holder due to vibration during vehicle travel.

従来、車両用のカップホルダとしては、車室のコンソールボックスの上面に、円筒容器状の凹部を設け、飲料容器類の底面を受ける底面部と、飲料容器類の外周面を囲む周面部とを備えた固定式のカップホルダや、インストルメントパネル等に設けられて出し入れ可能な引き出し式のカップホルダなどがある。   Conventionally, as a cup holder for a vehicle, a concave portion having a cylindrical container shape is provided on the upper surface of a console box of a passenger compartment, and a bottom surface portion that receives a bottom surface of beverage containers and a peripheral surface portion that surrounds an outer peripheral surface of beverage containers are provided. There are a fixed cup holder provided, a pull-out cup holder provided on an instrument panel and the like that can be taken in and out.

上記引き出し式のカップホルダは一般に、引き出し手前側に飲料容器類を挿入する開口が形成され、インストルメントパネル内に設置されたリテーナ（格納ケース）に保持され摺動案内されてインストルメントパネルの外に引き出される上板（トレイ）と、上板の下面に基端が支軸により上下回動可能に軸支され、上板に対して斜め下方のセット位置に回動可能な下板（支持バー）とを備え、引き出してセットしたときにほぼ水平面をなす下板の底面部に上板の開口に挿入した飲料容器類を支持させる基本構造を有している（例えば、下記特許文献１参照。）。
特開平５−９２７３４号公報 The above-described drawer-type cup holder is generally formed with an opening for inserting beverage containers on the front side of the drawer, and is held and slid by a retainer (storage case) installed in the instrument panel. And a lower plate (support bar) that is pivotally supported by a support shaft on the lower surface of the upper plate so that it can be turned up and down and rotated to a set position obliquely below the upper plate. ), And has a basic structure that supports beverage containers inserted into the opening of the upper plate on the bottom surface of the lower plate that forms a substantially horizontal plane when pulled out and set (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). ).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-92734

ところで固定式および引き出し式のいずれのカップホルダにおいても一つの大きな問題は、車両振動に伴いカップホルダと飲料容器類との間で発生する打音である。車両が上下に振動すると飲料容器類は跳ね上げられ、特にスチール缶等の金属製容器類の底面とこれを支えるカップホルダの底面部との間に小刻みかつ連続的に乗員に耳障りな打音が発生する。   By the way, in both of the fixed type and the drawer type cup holders, one big problem is the hitting sound generated between the cup holder and the beverage containers due to vehicle vibration. When the vehicle vibrates up and down, the beverage containers are flipped up, and in particular, there is a small bang between the bottom surface of a metal container such as a steel can and the bottom surface of the cup holder that supports the container, and an irritating sound is continuously heard by the passengers. appear.

この打音の発生を防止する対策として、カップホルダの底面部にウレタン等のクッション材を貼着する手段が考えられるが、クッション材を貼り付ける作業手間がかかり、またコストもかさむ。   As a measure for preventing the occurrence of the hitting sound, means for attaching a cushion material such as urethane to the bottom surface of the cup holder can be considered. However, it takes time and effort to attach the cushion material, and the cost is also increased.

また上記特許文献１のカップホルダのように開口の内周縁に開口径を縮小する方向に付勢されてカップホルダに挿入された飲料容器類の側面に圧接する保持板を設け、カップホルダと飲料容器類の相対振動を防止するようにしたものがある。   Moreover, like the cup holder of the above-mentioned patent document 1, a holding plate is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the opening so as to press the side surface of the beverage containers that are urged in the direction of reducing the opening diameter and inserted into the cup holder. Some have been designed to prevent relative vibration of containers.

しかし、この対策には次のような問題がある。即ち、飲料容器類は径の大小や材質により様々のものがあり、スチール缶は一般に小径で、筒状の本体部と底面とは別体で、本体部の下端開口縁に底面の外周をＵ字状にヘミングした構造とされ、ヘミングした外周が下方へ突出する底面フランジを形成して、底面は底上げ状となり、ヘミング部の外周は本体部の側面よりも若干外方へ張り出している。かかるスチール缶を上記保持板を備えたカップホルダに挿入し、これをカップホルダから取り出す場合、スチール缶の下端の外方への張り出し部が上記保持板の先端に引っかかって取り出しにくく、スチール缶を傾斜させて取り出したり、保持板を手で押し戻して取り出さなければならない不具合があった。   However, this measure has the following problems. That is, there are various types of beverage containers depending on the size and material, and steel cans are generally small in diameter. The cylindrical main body and the bottom are separated from each other, and the outer periphery of the bottom is opened at the lower end opening edge of the main body. The bottom of the hemming outer periphery forms a bottom flange that protrudes downward, the bottom surface is raised, and the outer periphery of the hemming portion projects slightly outward from the side surface of the main body. When such a steel can is inserted into a cup holder provided with the holding plate and is taken out from the cup holder, the outwardly protruding portion of the lower end of the steel can is caught on the tip of the holding plate and is difficult to take out. There was a problem that it was necessary to take it out by tilting it or to push it back by hand.

そこで本発明は、クッション材を用いることなく、また飲料容器類のカップホルダからの取り出しに支障がなく、車両振動時のカップホルダと飲料容器類の底面との打音を防止するカップホルダを提供することを課題としてなされたものである。   Therefore, the present invention provides a cup holder that does not use a cushioning material, has no hindrance to taking out the beverage container from the cup holder, and prevents the hitting sound between the cup holder and the bottom surface of the beverage container during vehicle vibration. It was made as an issue to do.

本発明は、車室に設置されるカップホルダであって、飲料容器類を受ける底面部と、上記飲料容器類の外周を囲む周面部を備えたカップホルダにおいて、上記底面部の上面に、断面形状がほぼ三角形状ないし半円形状で、上記底面部の中心位置を横切って車幅方向に直線状に延びる細幅の凸状ビードを形成し、該凸状ビードにより上記飲料容器類の底面を支えるようになす（請求項１）。カップホルダの底面部に形成した断面形状がほぼ三角形状ないし半円形状の細い凸状ビードにより実質的に線接触により支えられた飲料容器類は、カップホルダの底面部に上下方向の振動が加えられるとバランスを崩し、跳ね上がらずに凸状ビードを中心として前後に揺動する。飲料容器類の揺動数はカップホルダの底面部の振動数よりも少なく、衝撃的な底面部の振動に比べて緩やかに揺動するから、飲料容器類の側面がカップホルダの周面部に当接しても、打音の発生数は底面とカップホルダの底面部との跳ね上げによる打音よりも少なく、また打音も小さく、車両振動によるカップホルダと飲料容器類との間に発生する打音は低減される。 The present invention is a cup holder installed in a passenger compartment, the cup holder having a bottom surface portion for receiving beverage containers and a peripheral surface portion surrounding the outer periphery of the beverage containers, the cross- section on the top surface of the bottom surface portion A substantially convex or semi-circular shape is formed, and a narrow convex bead is formed extending linearly in the vehicle width direction across the center position of the bottom surface, and the bottom surface of the beverage containers is formed by the convex bead. It is made to support (Claim 1). Beverage containers that are supported by line contact with a thin convex bead having a substantially triangular or semicircular cross section formed on the bottom surface of the cup holder are subject to vertical vibrations applied to the bottom surface of the cup holder. When it is pushed, it loses its balance and swings back and forth around the convex bead without jumping up. Since the number of swings of the beverage containers is less than the frequency of the bottom surface of the cup holder and swings more slowly than the shocking vibration of the bottom surface of the cup holder, the side surfaces of the beverage containers touch the peripheral surface of the cup holder. Even if it comes into contact, the number of hitting sounds is less than the hitting sound from the bottom surface and the bottom surface of the cup holder, and the hitting sound is also low. Sound is reduced.

上記凸状ビードの延在方向を車両前後方向に近づけると、車両の急加減速時に、飲料容器類を凸状ビードに沿う前後方向に揺動させる力が作用すると、飲料容器類の底面と凸状ビードとの間にガタツキが生じるおそれがあり、従って凸状ビードは車幅方向に形成することが有利である。 When the extending direction of the convex bead is brought close to the vehicle front-rear direction, when a force that swings the beverage container in the front-rear direction along the convex bead acts during sudden acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle, the bottom surface of the beverage container There is a risk of rattling between the bead and the convex bead. Therefore, it is advantageous to form the convex bead in the vehicle width direction.

上記カップホルダは自動車のインストルメントパネルに出し入れ可能に設置される引き出し式のカップホルダであり、上記インストルメントパネルから引き出し可能な上板と、該上板の下面に一端を回動可能に軸支して上下方向回動可能な下板とを備え、上記上板にはほぼ円形の開口を設けてその開口縁で上記周面部を形成し、上記下板で上記底面部を形成し、該底面部に上記凸状ビードを形成する（請求項２）。引き出し式のカップホルダの打音を好適に低減できる。 The cup holder is a pull-out type cup holder that is installed in an instrument panel of an automobile so that it can be pulled in and out, and an upper plate that can be pulled out from the instrument panel and a shaft that is pivotally supported at one end on the lower surface of the upper plate. A lower plate that is rotatable in the vertical direction, the upper plate is provided with a substantially circular opening, the opening edge forms the peripheral surface portion, the lower plate forms the bottom surface portion, and the bottom surface The convex bead is formed on the portion (claim 2 ). The hitting sound of the drawer-type cup holder can be suitably reduced.

上記底面部には、上記下板を下げたときに上記開口の直下となる位置で、飲料容器類の底面よりも小径で、飲料容器類の底面外周のフランジ部より低い台部を形成し、該台部のまわりに上記凸状ビードを形成する（請求項３）。台部を形成することで、底面の外周に下方へ突出するフランジ部を有する飲料容器類においては、カップホルダの底面部に対する飲料容器類のズレが防止される。 In the bottom portion, when the lower plate is lowered, at a position that is directly below the opening, a bottom portion that is smaller in diameter than the bottom surface of the beverage containers and lower than the flange portion on the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the beverage containers is formed. The convex bead is formed around the pedestal (claim 3 ). By forming the base portion, in the beverage containers having the flange portion protruding downward on the outer periphery of the bottom surface, the beverage containers are prevented from being displaced with respect to the bottom surface portion of the cup holder.

本発明のカップホルダによれば、飲料容器類を受ける底面部に断面形状がほぼ三角形状ないし半円形状の凸状ビードを、上記底面部の中心位置を横切って車幅方向に設ける簡素な構造で、飲料容器類の取り出しに支障がなく、車両走行時の振動等によりカップホルダに保持せしめた飲料容器類の跳ね上がりを防ぐことができ、カップホルダと飲料容器類との間で発生する打音を効果的に低減できる。 According to the cup holder of the present invention, a simple structure in which a convex bead having a substantially triangular or semicircular cross-sectional shape is provided in the vehicle width direction across the center position of the bottom surface portion on the bottom surface portion that receives beverage containers. Therefore, there is no hindrance to taking out the beverage containers, and it is possible to prevent the beverage containers held in the cup holder from jumping up due to vibrations during traveling of the vehicle, etc., and the hitting sound generated between the cup holder and the beverage containers Can be effectively reduced.

車両の引き出し式のカップホルダに本発明を適用した実施形態を説明する。図１、図２に示すようにカップホルダ１は、インストルメントパネル６の車幅方向中央位置でカーオーディオＡＤなどの下方位置に設置され、インストルメントパネル６内に取付けたリテーナ５によりインストルメントパネル６に出し入れ自在に保持されている。   An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pull-out cup holder of a vehicle will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cup holder 1 is installed at a lower position such as a car audio AD at the center position in the vehicle width direction of the instrument panel 6, and is mounted on the instrument panel 6 by a retainer 5 attached in the instrument panel 6. 6 is held freely.

リテーナ５は金属板からなり、平板状の上壁５０の左右両側縁を断面コ字形に屈曲させてレール部５１を形成した構造としてある。   The retainer 5 is made of a metal plate, and has a structure in which the left and right side edges of the flat upper wall 50 are bent in a U-shaped cross section to form the rail portion 51.

カップホルダ１は合成樹脂製の上板２と一端を上板２の下面に軸支した下板３を備えている。上板２はほぼ水平な板本体２０の前縁に沿って細長い前縁板２２が設けてあり、板本体２０の左右の両側縁にもこれらい沿って細長い側縁板２３が設けてある。上板２は車室側よりリテーナ５内に挿入してあり、左右の両側縁板２３を、リテーナ５の左右両側のレール部５１に摺動可能に嵌合してある。上板２は前縁板２２がインストルメントパネル６とほぼ面一となる収納位置（図２の仮想線）と、該収納位置から車室側へ緩やかに斜め上方引き出した使用位置（図２の実線）とに移動可能である。尚、上記使用位置に引き出したとき、上板２の基端部が所定の範囲、リテーナ５内に残るように図略のストッパにより引き出し量が規制されて、上板２が引き出し姿勢を保つよう保持される。   The cup holder 1 includes an upper plate 2 made of synthetic resin and a lower plate 3 having one end pivotally supported on the lower surface of the upper plate 2. The upper plate 2 is provided with an elongated front edge plate 22 along the substantially horizontal front edge of the plate body 20, and an elongated side edge plate 23 is provided along both the left and right edges of the plate body 20. The upper plate 2 is inserted into the retainer 5 from the passenger compartment side, and the left and right side edge plates 23 are slidably fitted to the left and right rail portions 51 of the retainer 5. The upper plate 2 has a storage position (imaginary line in FIG. 2) in which the front edge plate 22 is substantially flush with the instrument panel 6 and a use position (in FIG. 2) that is gently pulled upward from the storage position toward the vehicle compartment. (Solid line). It should be noted that when the upper plate 2 is pulled out to the use position, the pull-out amount is regulated by a stopper (not shown) so that the base end portion of the upper plate 2 remains in the retainer 5 within a predetermined range, so that the upper plate 2 maintains the pull-out posture. Retained.

上板２の引き出し手前側には左右両側位置に、二つの飲料容器類を挿入する開口２１が形成してある。各開口２１の大きさは飲料容器類のうち、大径のペットボトル（容量５００ml）等を挿入可能な寸法に形成してあり、開口形状は全体的に円形で、手前側はほぼ直線状で、飲料容器類の外周面を支える周面部２１１が形成してある。   Openings 21 into which two beverage containers are inserted are formed at the left and right side positions on the front side of the upper plate 2. The size of each opening 21 is formed so that a large-sized PET bottle (capacity 500 ml) or the like can be inserted among beverage containers, the opening shape is generally circular, and the front side is substantially linear. The peripheral surface part 211 which supports the outer peripheral surface of drink containers is formed.

また、開口２１には、上記周面部２１１と前後に対向して、開口径の前後長を可変する調整板２５が設けてある。調整板２５は合成樹脂板で、開口２１内へ突出するようにセットされ、開口２１の開口縁に支軸２５０により軸支されて上下方向に回動可能に設けられ、開口２１内へ突出する水平位置と、下向き回動した垂直位置とに位置変換可能である。調整板２５は図略のバネ部材により上記水平位置に付勢され、水平位置において、開口２１の前後長を縮小する。調整板２５により縮小された開口２１の前後長は、上記ペットボトルよりも小径のスチール缶Ｃ１等の直径よりも若干大きめの寸法に調整される。調整板２５には、スチール缶Ｃ１の外周面に沿う周面部２５１が形成してある。   The opening 21 is provided with an adjustment plate 25 that opposes the peripheral surface portion 211 in the front-rear direction and varies the front-rear length of the opening diameter. The adjustment plate 25 is a synthetic resin plate that is set so as to protrude into the opening 21, is pivotally supported on the opening edge of the opening 21 by a support shaft 250, and can be rotated in the vertical direction, and protrudes into the opening 21. The position can be changed between a horizontal position and a vertical position rotated downward. The adjustment plate 25 is urged to the horizontal position by a spring member (not shown), and the front-rear length of the opening 21 is reduced at the horizontal position. The longitudinal length of the opening 21 reduced by the adjusting plate 25 is adjusted to a size slightly larger than the diameter of the steel can C1 or the like having a diameter smaller than that of the plastic bottle. The adjustment plate 25 is formed with a peripheral surface portion 251 along the outer peripheral surface of the steel can C1.

上板２の引き出し手前側の半部の下面には下板３が設けてある。下板３は合成樹脂の一体成形品で、横幅が上板２の横幅よりも若干狭く形成してあり、上板２の左右の側縁板２３で囲まれた下面内に収納可能としてある。下板３はその基端が、上板２の下面の前後中間位置に、支軸３０により軸支され、上板２の下面に沿う収納位置と、上板２に対して引き出し手前側に斜め下方へ突出するセット位置とに上下方向回動自在に設けてある。   A lower plate 3 is provided on the lower surface of the half on the front side of the upper plate 2. The lower plate 3 is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin and has a width that is slightly narrower than the width of the upper plate 2 and can be stored in a lower surface surrounded by the left and right side edge plates 23 of the upper plate 2. The base end of the lower plate 3 is pivotally supported by the support shaft 30 at the front and rear intermediate positions of the lower surface of the upper plate 2, and the storage position along the lower surface of the upper plate 2. It is provided so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction at the set position protruding downward.

図１ないし図４に示すように、下板３は手前側の端部を残して中間部に切抜き３４が形成してあり、手前側の端部には、上板２の左右の開口２１に対応して左右両側位置に、各開口２１に挿入された飲料容器類Ｃ１の底面を受ける２つの底面部３１が設けてある。各底面部３１は、下板３本体に対して手前側に向けて立ち上がる傾斜面としてあって、カップホルダ１を引き出して下板３を上記セット位置としたときに、底面部３１は水平となるようにしてある。   As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the lower plate 3 has a cutout 34 formed in the middle portion, leaving the front end, and the left and right openings 21 of the upper plate 2 are formed at the front end. Correspondingly, two bottom surface portions 31 for receiving the bottom surface of the beverage containers C1 inserted into the respective openings 21 are provided at both the left and right positions. Each bottom surface portion 31 is an inclined surface that rises toward the front side with respect to the lower plate 3 main body, and when the cup holder 1 is pulled out and the lower plate 3 is set to the set position, the bottom surface portion 31 becomes horizontal. It is like that.

底面部３１には中央部に、一段高くしたほぼ円形の台部３２が形成してある。台部３２の大きさは飲料容器類のスチール缶Ｃ１の底面よりも小さくしてあり、台部３２の高さは約２．５mmとしてあり、スチール缶Ｃ１の底面外周縁の下方へ突出する底面フランジの高さよりも低くしてある。   The bottom portion 31 is formed with a substantially circular base portion 32 that is raised one step at the center. The size of the pedestal 32 is smaller than the bottom of the steel can C1 of the beverage container, the height of the pedestal 32 is about 2.5 mm, and the bottom of the steel can C1 projects downward from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom. It is lower than the height of the flange.

そして、底面部３１には台部３２の両脇にそれぞれ、底面部３１の中心を通って左右方向（車幅方向）に直線状に延びる細幅の凸状ビード３３が形成してある。各凸状ビード３３は底面部３１の側縁から台部３２にかけてこれらを架けわたすように形成してある。凸状ビード３３はそのビード幅および高さ寸法が約１．２mm前後に形成してある。更に凸状ビード３３は断面形状がほぼ三角形状ないしほぼ半円形状として、ビード頂端に向けて細くなる形状としている。   The bottom surface portion 31 is formed with narrow convex beads 33 extending linearly in the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) through the center of the bottom surface portion 31 on both sides of the base portion 32. Each convex bead 33 is formed so as to extend from the side edge of the bottom surface portion 31 to the base portion 32. The convex bead 33 has a bead width and height dimension of about 1.2 mm. Furthermore, the convex bead 33 has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially triangular or substantially semicircular, and has a shape that narrows toward the top end of the bead.

カップホルダ１で飲料容器類のスチール缶Ｃ１を保持させるには、上板２をインストルメントパネル６から引き出し、下板３を上記セット位置へ下げた状態で、飲料容器類のスチール缶Ｃ１を上方より上板２の開口２１に挿入せしめ、下板３の底面部３１に載置する。スチール缶Ｃ１を開口２１に挿入するとき、スチール缶Ｃ１の直径よりも、調整板２５で縮小された開口２１の前後長が大きいので、スチール缶Ｃ１は調整板２５に干渉することなく開口２１内へ挿入できる。またスチール缶Ｃ１を取り出すときには、スチール缶Ｃ１の下端外周の張り出し部が調整板２５に干渉せず取り出しに支障はない。   In order to hold the steel can C1 of the beverage container with the cup holder 1, the upper plate 2 is pulled out from the instrument panel 6 and the lower plate 3 is lowered to the set position, and the steel can C1 of the beverage container is moved upward. Further, it is inserted into the opening 21 of the upper plate 2 and placed on the bottom surface portion 31 of the lower plate 3. When the steel can C1 is inserted into the opening 21, the front and rear length of the opening 21 reduced by the adjustment plate 25 is larger than the diameter of the steel can C1, so that the steel can C1 does not interfere with the adjustment plate 25 and does not interfere with the adjustment plate 25. Can be inserted. Further, when the steel can C1 is taken out, the projecting portion on the outer periphery of the lower end of the steel can C1 does not interfere with the adjustment plate 25, and there is no hindrance to the taking out.

スチール缶Ｃ１を挿入すると、スチール缶Ｃ１の底面外周の底面フランジが径方向の対称位置で底面部３１の左右の凸状ビード３３により支持され、台部３２は底面フランジで囲まれたスチール缶Ｃ１の底面の下方に位置し、底面と台部３２の上面との間には隙間がある。スチール缶Ｃ１は凸状ビード３３により支持されるとともに、スチール缶Ｃ１の外周面を囲む開口２１の開口縁の前後の周面部２５１，２１１のうちのいずれかに支えられた状態でほぼ垂直な起立姿勢に保持される。 When the steel can C1 is inserted, the bottom flange on the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the steel can C1 is supported by the left and right convex beads 33 on the bottom portion 31 at the radial symmetrical position, and the base portion 32 is surrounded by the bottom flange. There is a gap between the bottom surface and the upper surface of the base portion 32. The steel can C1 is supported by the convex bead 33 and stands upright substantially vertically while being supported by one of the front and rear peripheral surface portions 251 and 211 of the opening edge of the opening 21 surrounding the outer peripheral surface of the steel can C1. Held in posture.

車両走行時の振動で、下板３の底面部３１が上下方向に小刻みかつ連続的に振動すると（図４の矢印Ｚ）、スチール缶Ｃ１は、底面フランジの左右両側部が横方向に延びる左右の凸状ビード３３に線接触ないしは点接触の状態で支えられており、スチール缶Ｃ１の底面はカップホルダ１の底面部３１から浮いているので、凸状ビード３３との接触点を中心に前後方向に揺動する（図４の矢印Ｙ）。従ってスチール缶Ｃ１は跳ね上がらず、スチール缶Ｃ１の底面とカップホルダ１の底面部３１との間の打音は発生しない。   When the bottom surface portion 31 of the lower plate 3 wiggles in the vertical direction and continuously vibrates due to vibration during traveling of the vehicle (arrow Z in FIG. 4), the left and right side portions of the bottom flange extend horizontally in the steel can C1. Since the bottom surface of the steel can C1 floats from the bottom surface portion 31 of the cup holder 1, the convex bead 33 is supported in a line contact or point contact state. Swings in the direction (arrow Y in FIG. 4). Therefore, the steel can C1 does not jump up and no hitting sound is generated between the bottom surface of the steel can C1 and the bottom surface portion 31 of the cup holder 1.

スチール缶Ｃ１が前後方向に揺動すると、外周面がカップホルダ１の前後の周面部２５１，２１１に当たるが、この場合、スチール缶Ｃ１の底面に作用する衝撃的な上下振動に対して高さのあるスチール缶Ｃ１の揺動は緩やかであり、外周面と周面部２５１，２１１との当接による打音は跳ね上がりによる底面の打音に比べて遙かに小さい。   When the steel can C1 swings in the front-rear direction, the outer peripheral surface hits the front and rear peripheral surface portions 251 and 211 of the cup holder 1, but in this case, the height of the steel can C1 is high with respect to the shocking vertical vibration acting on the bottom surface of the steel can C1. The swing of a certain steel can C1 is gentle, and the hitting sound caused by the contact between the outer peripheral surface and the peripheral surface portions 251 and 211 is much smaller than the hitting sound on the bottom surface caused by the jumping up.

開口２１に対して小径のスチール缶Ｃ１は、車両の急加減速等により前後に位置ズレしようとするが、スチール缶Ｃ１の底面フランジが台部３２の外周に当接してスチール缶Ｃ１の位置ズレを極力小さくする。   The steel can C1 having a small diameter with respect to the opening 21 tends to be displaced forward and backward due to sudden acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle, etc., but the bottom flange of the steel can C1 contacts the outer periphery of the base 32 and the steel can C1 is displaced. Reduce as much as possible.

上記構造のカップホルダ１では、ペットボトル等の大径の飲料容器類を保持させた場合には、大径の飲料容器類を挿入したときに、容器類により調整板２５が下方へ押し開かれて、底面部３１に載置したときに飲料容器類の外周面を、バネにより復帰しようとする調整板２５の周面部２５１とこれと対向する周面部２１１とで飲料容器類の外周面を前後に挟むので、底面部３１が上下に振動しても大径の飲料容器類が跳ね上げられず、打音が生じない。   In the cup holder 1 having the above structure, when a large-sized beverage container such as a plastic bottle is held, the adjustment plate 25 is pushed downward by the container when the large-sized beverage container is inserted. The outer peripheral surface of the beverage container is moved back and forth by the peripheral surface portion 251 of the adjusting plate 25 and the peripheral surface portion 211 facing the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment plate 25 to be returned by a spring when the outer peripheral surface of the beverage container is placed on the bottom surface portion 31. Therefore, even if the bottom surface portion 31 vibrates up and down, large-diameter beverage containers are not splashed up and no hitting sound is generated.

凸状ビード３３の形成方向は、これを前後方向に近づけると、車両走行時の急加減速で、凸状ビード３３と飲料容器類の底面との間でガタツキが生じるおそれがある。凸状ビード３３の形成方向は車両の車幅方向に近い方向、好ましくは車幅方向ないしは車幅方向に対してほぼ２０°の傾斜範囲とすることが望ましい。またカップホルダ１の底面部３１を平坦面とし、底面部３１の中央を横切る凸状ビード３３を形成し、飲料容器類を支持させる構造としてもよい。   If the convex bead 33 is formed close to the front-rear direction, rattling may occur between the convex bead 33 and the bottom surface of the beverage container due to rapid acceleration / deceleration during vehicle travel. The formation direction of the convex bead 33 is a direction close to the vehicle width direction of the vehicle, preferably the vehicle width direction or an inclination range of about 20 ° with respect to the vehicle width direction. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which makes the bottom face part 31 of the cup holder 1 a flat surface, forms the convex bead 33 which crosses the center of the bottom face part 31, and supports drink containers.

底面部に凸状ビード３３を形成してこれに飲料容器類を支持させる本発明は、引き出し式のカップホルダに限らず固定式のカップホルダにも適用され得る。   The present invention in which the convex bead 33 is formed on the bottom surface portion and the beverage containers are supported thereon can be applied not only to the drawer-type cup holder but also to a fixed cup holder.
