Since the space is left on the side of the in-vehicle member, it ensures a space as a foot space and is housed in the in-vehicle member when not in use, so a new storage space is secured. Ku also well, to improve the marketability.

The purpose of providing a vehicle support device with improved merchantability is to be provided to the side, while securing a foot space when used as a support device and not having to secure a new storage space when not used. in automotive support device provided with a vehicle member feet space is formed, the vehicle member side to Naru can close the opening formed side members and small parts of Naru be placed bottom member and small parts It is composed of a back member that does not fall on the back side of the vehicle-mounted member, and does not interfere with the container part, and is moved to the storage position stored in the opening of the vehicle-mounted member and the use position protruding from the opening to the foot space side. This is realized by a support member that can be configured and a stopper member that can stop the support member at an appropriate position with respect to the vehicle-mounted member. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 3 are views showing a first embodiment of the present invention. An instrument panel 1 is arranged on the front side of the interior of the automobile. In the center of the instrument panel 1, a console box 2 that is an “in-vehicle member” is suspended. The console box 2 is provided with a center vent outlet 3 through which air from an air conditioner (not shown) can be blown out, an audio device 4, a container 5, and a support device 6. A glove box 7 is disposed on the side of the instrument panel 1, and a passenger's foot space 8 (not shown) is secured below the glove box 7.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the container 5 includes a box body 9 having a predetermined depth and a lid 11 that can open and close an opening 10 on the front side (occupant side) of the box body 9. The lid 11 is formed with a concave handle 12 so that it can be opened and closed by a hinge (not shown).

  The support device 6 includes a case 22 formed by screwing a boss 19 formed on the back wall 9a of the box body 9 and a boss 20 formed on the bottom wall 9b with screws 21; The storage position shown in FIG. 1 that is supported and housed in the opening 13 formed on one side surface 2a of the console box 2 and the use position shown in FIG. 2 that protrudes from the opening 13 toward the foot space 8 side. Each has a substantially L-shaped support member 14 that can move. The opening 13 is substantially L-shaped by a first slit 13a formed in a vertical shape and a second slit 13b formed in a horizontal shape on the front side (occupant side) from the first slit 13a. Formed.

  The support member 14 includes a bottom member 15 formed in a flat shape so that small parts (not shown) can be placed, and a vertical wall-like rear side so that small parts (not shown) do not fall on the back side of the console box 2. 1 and a side member 17 that is supported on the bottom space 15 and the foot space 8 side of the back member 16 and closes the opening 13 of the console box 2 at the storage position shown in FIG. Formed. A concave handle 18 is formed on the side member 17 so that the drawer can be opened and closed.

  In the case 22, a space 25 is formed by a first case 23 and a second case 24, and a roller 28 is rotatable by a pin 27 in an opening 26 formed at an appropriate position of each case 23, 24. The roller 28 is pivotally supported so that the bottom member 15 and the back member 16 of the support member 14 can be smoothly pulled out in the left-right direction.

  With this configuration, the support member is movable between a storage position housed in an opening 13 formed on the side surface 2a of the console box 2 and a use position protruding from the opening 13 toward the foot space 8 side. 14, when used as a so-called support device 6 on which small parts (not shown) are placed, the space of the foot space 8 remains on the side opposite to the console box 2, so that the space as the foot space 8 is reliably secured. However, since it is stored in the console box 2 when not in use, it is not necessary to secure a new storage space, and the merchantability is improved.

  Further, since the support member 14 is formed with at least a bottom member 15 on which small parts can be placed, even if the floor is dirty, the small parts can be mounted without being affected by the dirty small parts. The function of being able to be placed is ensured.

  Further, since a back member 16 is formed on the back side of the support member 14 so that small parts do not fall on the back side of the console box 2, even if there is a sudden braking that may accompany the traveling of the automobile, The small parts placed on the material 15 can be reliably prevented from falling to the front side.

  Furthermore, since the side member 17 which closes the opening part 13 of the said console box 2 is formed in the supporting member 14, even if the centrifugal force of the left-right direction arises with driving | running | working of a motor vehicle, the side member 17 becomes small parts. Can be prevented, and can be prevented from falling. Further, since the opening 13 is closed by the side member 17, in the state shown in FIG. 1 in which the support member 14 is housed in the console box 2, even the presence of the support member 14 is difficult to distinguish, and the appearance is remarkably improved. As shown in FIG. 1, the side member 17 is exposed on the side surface 2 a of the console box 2, but the side surface member 17 is formed with a recess for accommodating the side member 17 on the side surface 2 a itself. The side surface 2a of the console box 2 may be coplanar.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. This is an example in which the bottom member 31 is provided with a undulating stopper 30 indicated by an arrow. The bottom member 31 has substantially the same shape as the bottom member 15, but has a relationship that allows the opening 13 to be pulled out in a state where the stopper 30 is embedded. Since the stopper 30 is hinged to the bottom member 15 at the lower side, the stopper 30 has a stopper function so that the support member 32 cannot be accommodated in the console box 2 when the stopper 30 is raised. Except for this description, the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  5 to 7 are views showing a third embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 35 denotes a support member. The support member 35 has a bottom member 36 formed in a flat shape so that small parts (not shown) can be placed thereon, and prevents small parts (not shown) from falling on the back side of the console box 2. A back member 37 formed on the back side in the shape of a vertical wall and a bottom member 36 and a back member 37 that are supported on the foot space 8 side and close the opening 13 of the console box 2 in the storage position shown in FIG. It is formed integrally with the side member 17 (see FIG. 1).

  The bottom member 36 and the back member 37 are formed with a plurality of protrusions 38, and are slidable with respect to the back wall 39a and the bottom wall 39b of the box body 39, and the back wall 39a and the bottom wall 39b. Are slidable with respect to the inner surfaces 40a and 41a of the folded portions 40 and 41 formed at the end portions of the inner surfaces.

  The support member 35 has a stopper member 42 that can be stopped at an appropriate position with respect to the console box 2. The stopper member 42 includes a moderation member 43 formed in a waveform extending in the left-right direction (vertical direction in FIG. 6) on the bottom surface 36a of the bottom member 36, and a storage portion 44 in which a part of the folded portion 41 is further lowered. The pin 46 is always pressed against the moderation member 43 by the coil spring 45. A rib 43 a is formed on the back surface side (left side in FIG. 6) of the moderation member 43 so that it can resist the pressing force by the pin 46.

  Therefore, since the support member 35 has the stopper member 42 that can be stopped at an appropriate position with respect to the console box 2, even if there are various types of small parts to be mounted, the support member 35 can cope with the thickness. That is, the position of the pin 46 shown in FIG. 6 is fixed to the console box 2, but when the support member 35 is urged in the left-right direction, the coil spring 45 is contracted in the direction of the mountain portion 43 b of the moderation member 43. As the pin 46 moves and becomes the valley portion 43c of the moderation member 43, the pin 46 moves in the direction in which the coil spring 45 extends. Thus, every time the coil spring 45 gets over the mountain portion 43b, a feeling of moderation occurs.

  Although the console box 2 has been described as an example of the vehicle-mounted member, the present invention is not limited to this, and the instrument panel itself may be used.
