Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  A structure according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As an example of a vehicle, a vehicle container holding device 1 arranged on an instrument panel or a center console box of an automobile has a bottomed cylindrical shape in which a container 6 such as a cylindrical juice can be taken out upward (upper side in the drawing). The holder 2 and the opening 2c formed on the side surface 2a of the holder 2 are always biased by a biasing means 5 such as a coiled spring in a direction in which the holder 2 is pressed against the peripheral wall 6a of the container 6. It is composed of at least the contact member 4. Here, “at least” is because the storage portion 2d of the holder 2 is provided with a lid or other examples.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the abutting member 4 is shaped like a hiragana character, and as shown in FIG. 3, a side having a predetermined area is formed on the holder 2 side around a restraining portion 4a to be described later. The direction away from the holder 2 is formed in a flange shape. The abutting member 4 is formed above and below the holder 2, and a restraining portion 4 a formed in a form having a predetermined area such as the top of a mountain so as to be able to abut against the peripheral wall 6 a of the container 6 from the lateral direction. A “rotation center axis” formed on the case 3 that is held by the first protrusion 2e and the second protrusion 2f that are engaged and supported by the first engagement portion 3c and the second engagement portion 3d. A guide portion 4d pivotally supported by a certain first pin 3e and capable of guiding the abutting member 4 in the vertical direction or in the protruding and retracting direction from the opening 2c, and the side surface of the holder 2 even when urged by the urging means 5 And a lower sliding portion 4f that can be detached from the side surface 2a of the holder 2 against the biasing means 5 by a force that is held by 2a and that inserts the container 6. Reference numeral 4b is an upper guide surface that is lifted obliquely from the upper side of the suppression part 4a, and reference numeral 4c is a lower guide surface that is inclined downward from the lower side of the suppression part 4a. Reference numeral 4e denotes a second pin that bridges the flanges 4g and 4g of the contact member 4. The guide portion 4d is a long hole formed symmetrically on the flanges 4g and 4g of the contact member 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the guide portion 4d is in an oblique direction in a state in which the container 6 is not stored in the storage portion 2d of the holder 2 and in a state in which the container 6 has been stored. As shown in FIG. 7, the container 6 is bent halfway so as to be in the circumferential direction of the container 6, that is, in the lateral direction, just before the container 6 comes out from the storage portion 2d.

  Reference numeral 2b denotes a flange formed at the upper end of the storage portion 2d of the holder-2, which is formed horizontally from the upper end of the storage portion 2d to the outside and opens obliquely upward therefrom. Reference numeral 2 g is the bottom surface of the holder 2. Reference numeral 2h denotes an engaging portion formed on the holder-2.

  The case 3 is formed by a first opening 3a and a second opening 3b to form a katakana-shaped duct. Reference numeral 3f is a second pin that is bridged at the top and bottom centers on the first opening 3a side. Reference numerals 3g and 3g are engaging claws formed on both sides of the case 3, and are engaged and supported by the engaging portion 2h.

Therefore, according to the first embodiment, from the state of FIG. 9, that is, the state in which the container 6 is not in the storage portion 2 d of the holder 2, as shown in FIG. When the container 6 in the holder 2 is pushed into the storage portion 2d, a load F ₁ ′ is applied to the upper guide surface 4b of the abutting member 4 and a reaction force F ₂ is generated, but a moment is applied and the rotation center shaft 3e is moved. As indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5 at the center, the container 6 enters the holder 2 by rotating clockwise. At this time, since the second pin 4e also moves in the clockwise direction against the biasing means 5, the peripheral wall 6a is reliably pressed from the circumferential direction of the container 6 by the biasing force of the biasing means 5, and the container 6 is reliably As shown in FIG. 6, it is held in a state where the support, that is, the overturn of the container 6 is reliably prevented. Once, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower sliding portion 4 f away from the side surface 2 a of the holder 2 abuts on the side surface 2 a of the holder 2 as shown in FIG. 6.

  Further, when the container 6 in the state shown in FIG. 6 is lifted so as to be taken out from the holder 2, it hits the lower guide surface 4 c of the contact member 4 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 8, the guide portion 4 e slides with respect to the rotation center shaft 3 e due to the load applied to the lower guide surface 4 c without fear of being caught, and the contact member 4 from the storage portion 2 d of the holder 2. Dies. In this way, there are effects such that the container 6 can be smoothly inserted and removed from the holder 2.

  The restraining part 4a is formed in a substantially mountain shape so that the peripheral wall 6a of the container 6 can be held in a small area, and both the upper guide surface 4b and the lower guide surface 4c of the restraining part 4a are Since it forms in the shape of a skirt which falls gently from the top, there exists an effect that it can move to the upper guide surface 4b or the lower guide surface 4c from the suppression part 4a of the said contact member 4 smoothly.

  Further, the guide portion 4d is in an oblique direction both when the container 6 is not stored in the storage portion 2d of the holder 2 and when it is stored, and the container 6 comes out of the storage portion 2d of the holder 2. Since it is bent in the middle so that it is just in the circumferential direction of the container 6, the abutting member 4 is formed by smoothly moving the rotation center shaft 3 e that is pivotally supported by the guide portion 4 d. There is an effect that it can easily appear and disappear from the side surface 2a of the holder 2.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the vehicle is arranged on the instrument panel or the center console box of the automobile has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the vehicle such as an airplane, a ship, or a vehicle, or daily necessities or furniture may be used. good.
