JP 2004-10019 A

In designing this type of storage device, there is a demand for a structure that can be used as a card holder in addition to a small item holder, in response to the need to store various cards in addition to regular small items. In such cases, it is preferable to adopt a user-friendly structure that has excellent retention performance for stored cards and makes it easy to insert and remove cards.

The present invention was made in consideration of these problems, and aims to provide a user-friendly storage device that can be used as a small item holder and a card holder.

One aspect of the present invention is
A bottomed storage section having a storage space with an open top;
a base portion that slidably guides the storage portion between a fully closed position and a fully open position of the storage space;
a partition section for dividing the storage space of the storage section into a small item storage area for storing small items and a card storage area for storing cards by leaning them against each other;
Equipped with
the partition portion is composed of a concave portion or a convex portion provided on each of the opposing first and second inner wall surfaces of the storage portion so as to face each other and extend along the depth direction of the storage space, and the partition portion provided on the first inner wall surface and the partition portion provided on the second inner wall surface are configured so as to have different vertical heights from the bottom surface of the storage space to the upper end in the depth direction;
is located.

According to the above-mentioned storage device, the storage space of the storage unit can be set to either a fully closed position or a fully open position by sliding the storage unit relative to a base unit that is attached to an interior panel of the vehicle. The storage space of the storage unit is divided into a small item storage area and a card storage area by two partitions consisting of a recess or a protrusion that extend along the depth direction of the storage space. This type of partition structure makes it easier for the occupant to insert their fingers into the storage space and to insert and remove small items and cards, compared to a structure in which a partition wall that extends from the first inner wall surface to the second inner wall surface is provided in the storage space to completely separate the small item storage area and the card storage area.

In addition, the partition provided on the first inner wall surface and the partition provided on the second inner wall surface have different erection heights from the bottom surface of the storage space to the top end in the depth direction. Therefore, the partition with a relatively high erection height is effective in making it difficult for a card leaned against the card insertion area to fall over. In contrast, the partition with a relatively low erection height is effective in improving card removal performance, since the occupant has more freedom to move the card when the card is pulled out of the card insertion area to a position that exceeds the top end of the partition. Therefore, it is possible to improve the card removal performance from the card insertion area while ensuring the card retention performance in the card insertion area.

As described above, the above-mentioned aspect provides a user-friendly storage device that can be used as a small item holder and a card holder.

Preferred embodiments of the above aspects are described below.

In the storage device of the above aspect, the first inner wall surface is the inner wall surface on the front side in the closing sliding direction when the storage section slides from the fully open position to the fully closed position, and the second inner wall surface is the inner wall surface on the rear side in the closing sliding direction, and it is preferable that the erected height of the partition provided on the second inner wall surface is configured to be lower than the erected height of the partition provided on the first inner wall surface.

With this storage device, assuming that the occupant accesses the storage section from the rear side in the closing slide direction, a partition with a relatively low standing height is provided on the second inner wall surface near the occupant. Therefore, based on the trajectory of the occupant's fingers accessing the storage section, the partition is less likely to interfere with the occupant's operation when inserting or removing a card compared to providing a partition with a relatively high standing height on the second inner wall surface.

In the storage device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the partition provided on the first inner wall surface is the recess, and the partition provided on the second inner wall surface is the protrusion.

This storage device effectively prevents the dimensions of the accessory storage area from becoming smaller while ensuring the dimensions of the card holder area in the storage space in the sliding direction of the storage area by combining a recess as one partition and a protrusion as the other partition. Also, by fitting a card into a recess provided on the first inner wall surface farther from the occupant and storing it in the card holder area, the recess can prevent the card from falling over.

In the storage device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the storage section is configured so that the bottom surface of the card insertion area of the storage space is a downwardly sloping surface from the rear side to the front side in the closing slide direction.

With this storage device, the card is stored in the card storage area with the front lowered according to the inclination of the bottom surface of the card storage area. This has the effect of preventing the front end of the card from getting caught on the base or a member to which the base is attached, and interfering with the sliding movement of the storage part in the closing direction, when the storage part is slid in the closing direction relative to the base part toward the fully closed position of the storage space.

When the storage device of the above aspect is the first storage section, it is preferable that the storage section has a bottomed second storage section having a container storage space whose upper surface is open so that a cup-shaped container can be stored therein, and that the first storage section is configured to slidably guide the second storage section between the fully closed position and the fully open position of the container storage space.

This storage device allows the first storage section to slide relative to the base section to the fully open position of the storage space, and the second storage section to slide relative to the first storage section in two stages to the fully open position of the container storage space, making it possible for the device to simultaneously function as a small item holder and card holder, as well as a cup-shaped container holder.

In the storage device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the second storage section has two sliding walls extending in the sliding direction on both sides of the width direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, the first storage section has two guide walls extending in the sliding direction so that the two sliding walls of the second storage section engage with each other, and the storage space is provided in the area between the two guide walls.

According to this storage device, the guide walls of the first storage section engage with the slide walls of the second storage section to form a sliding structure that allows the second storage section to slide between a fully closed position and a fully open position. At this time, since the first storage section has a storage space in the area between the two guide walls, the sliding structure for the second storage section and the storage space for storing small items and cards can be arranged so that they do not overlap with each other in the depth direction of the storage space. This makes it possible to prevent the width of the storage space from being restricted, which is effective in preventing a reduction in the capacity of the storage space.

The detailed structure of the storage device installed in the interior panel of the vehicle is explained below with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings for explaining this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the first direction, which is the sliding direction of each storage section constituting the storage device, is indicated by arrow X, the second direction, which is the width direction of each storage section, is indicated by arrow Y, and the third direction, which is the height direction of each storage section, is indicated by arrow Z. Furthermore, with respect to the vehicle on which the storage device is assembled, the front of the vehicle is indicated by arrow FR, the inside of the vehicle is indicated by arrow IN, and the top of the vehicle is indicated by arrow UP. When the storage device is assembled, the first direction X corresponds to the vehicle length direction, the second direction Y corresponds to the vehicle width direction, and the third direction Z corresponds to the vehicle height direction.

(Embodiment 1)
1, the storage device 10 of the first embodiment is attached to an interior panel 2 of a vehicle 1 so that a cover 10a is exposed to the vehicle interior. The storage device 10 is capable of opening and closing the storage section by an occupant appropriately operating the cover 10a itself or an operating section provided separately.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the storage device 10 includes a base portion 11, a first storage portion 20, two partition portions 24 and 25, and a second storage portion 30.

The base portion 11 is attached to the interior panel 2 of the vehicle 1. The base portion 11 is configured to guide the first storage portion 20 so that it can slide in a first direction X (closing slide direction X1 and opening slide direction X2) between the fully closed position P1 (see FIG. 2) and the fully open position P2 of the storage space 21.

Here, the fully closed position P1 is a position where, in a pulled-out state where the first storage unit 20 is pulled out from the base unit 11 in the open slide direction X2, the upper part of the base unit 11 completely covers the upper surface of the storage space 21, opening the entire area of the upper surface of the storage space 21. In contrast, the fully open position P2 is a position where, in a state where the first storage unit 20 is not pulled out from the base unit 11, the upper part of the base unit 11 does not overlap with the storage space 21 in the third direction Z, opening the entire area of the upper surface of the storage space 21.

The first storage section 20 is a bottomed storage section having a storage space 21 with an open top. The storage space 21 of the first storage section 20 is a substantially rectangular space when viewed in a plane in the third direction Z, and has a substantially rectangular bottom surface 26. The storage space 21 is partitioned by four inner wall surfaces. It is preferable that each inner wall surface is an inclined surface so that small items Wa can easily gather in the central part of the bottom surface 26 of the storage space 21 and so that cards Wb can easily be guided to the bottom surface 26a.

A partition section 24 and a partition section 25 are provided facing each other on each of the first inner wall surface 22 and the second inner wall surface 23, which are among the four inner wall surfaces and face the first direction X. At this time, the two partition sections 24, 25 are spaced from each other in the first direction X, and are both disposed in close proximity to one side of the two inner wall surfaces, which are among the four inner wall surfaces and face the second direction Y.

The first inner wall surface 22 is the inner wall surface on the front side in the closing sliding direction X1 when the first storage section 20 slides from the fully open position P2 to the fully closed position P1. In contrast, the second inner wall surface 23 is the inner wall surface on the rear side in the closing sliding direction X1.

One of the partitions 24 is a recess provided to extend along the third direction Z, which is the depth direction of the storage space 21, and more specifically, is configured as a recessed groove in which the first inner wall surface 22 is partially recessed in the closing slide direction X1. This recess has a substantially rectangular shape when viewed in the third direction Z. The other partition 25 is a protrusion provided to extend along the third direction Z, and more specifically, is configured as a flat rib portion erected on the second inner wall surface 23 from the bottom surface 26 of the storage space 21. The dimensions of the partition 24 are set so that the groove width dimension in the second direction Y exceeds the thickness dimension of the partition 25 in the second direction Y.

The storage space 21 of the first storage section 20 is divided by two partitions 24, 25 into a small item storage area 21a and a card storage area 21b separated by a space in the first direction X. The small item storage area 21a is an area capable of storing small items Wa. The small items Wa stored in the small item storage area 21a are supported from below by the bottom surface 26. The card storage area 21b is a dedicated area capable of storing cards Wb in a horizontally placed state with the cards Wb propped up. The cards Wb stored in the card storage area 21b are supported from below by the bottom surface 26a and are supported from the side by the inner wall surface of the partition 24. In this way, the small item storage area 21a and the card storage area 21b can be used simultaneously by pulling the first storage section 20 to the fully open position P2.

Here, examples of small items Wa stored in the small item storage area 21a typically include various small items such as smart keys and coins, as well as small containers such as bottled gum. On the other hand, examples of cards Wb stored in the card storage area 21b typically include various cards such as IC cards, prepaid cards, cash cards, and credit cards.

The card holder area 21b is an area whose dimension in the second direction Y is narrower than that of the accessory holder area 21a, and is formed so as to extend in the first direction X along the inner wall surface at one end side of the storage space 21 in the second direction Y by the above-mentioned arrangement of the two partitions 24, 25.

The card insertion area 21b of the first storage section 20 is preferably positioned in a position that is easily visible to the driver, who is the occupant who rides the vehicle 1 most frequently. In addition, the first storage section 20 preferably has a step between the bottom surface 26 of the storage space 21 and the bottom surface 26a of the card insertion area 21b, such that the bottom surface 26a is slightly lower. This makes it easier to guide the card Wb to the bottom surface 26a of the card insertion area 21b.

As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second storage section 30 is a bottomed storage section having a container storage space 31 with an open top surface capable of storing a cup-shaped container Wc. The container storage space 31 of the second storage section 30 is a substantially rectangular space in a plan view in the third direction Z, similar to the storage space 21 of the first storage section 20, and has a substantially rectangular bottom surface 32. The cup-shaped container Wc stored in the container storage space 31 is supported from below by the bottom surface 32. The second storage section 30 has two sliding wall portions 30a extending in the first direction X on both sides of the second direction Y, which is the width direction perpendicular to the first direction X.

The cup-shaped container Wc to be accommodated in the container accommodation space 31 typically includes cup-shaped containers such as cups, drinking glasses, and other cup-shaped containers with a cylindrical portion capable of holding liquids such as beverages, as well as items with a similar shape to cup-shaped containers such as plastic bottles and beverage cans.

The first storage section 20 is configured to guide the second storage section 30 slidably in the first direction X (close slide direction X1 and open slide direction X2) between the fully closed position Q1 and the fully open position Q2 of the container storage space 31. To achieve this guide function, the first storage section 20 has two guide walls 20a extending in the first direction X so as to engage with the two slide walls 30a of the second storage section 30, respectively. The first storage section 20 is configured such that a storage space 21 is provided in the region between the two guide walls 20a.

The fully closed position Q1 is a position where the first storage section 20 completely blocks the container storage space 31 in a pulled-out state where the second storage section 30 is pulled out from the first storage section 20 in the open slide direction X2, and closes the entire area of the top surface of the container storage space 31. In contrast, the fully open position Q2 is a position where the first storage section 20 does not overlap with the container storage space 31 in the third direction Z in a state where the second storage section 30 is not pulled out from the first storage section 20, and opens the entire area of the top surface of the container storage space 31.

The second storage section 30 is provided with a support 33 for holding the cup-shaped container Wc stored in the container storage space 31. This support 33 has a recess 33a that conforms to the peripheral shape of the cup-shaped container Wc. This support 33 is rotatable about a rotation axis 33b that extends in the second direction Y, and is configured to be constantly elastically biased by an elastic member 34 toward a position approaching the cup-shaped container Wc (see FIG. 5).

As described above, the storage device 10 has two storage sections 20, 30 that can be pulled out in two stages. Therefore, with this storage device 10, a first usage mode in which the first storage section 20 is pulled out from the base section 11 to the fully open position P2 and the second storage section 30 is not pulled out from the first storage section 20, a second usage mode in which the second storage section 30 is pulled out from the first storage section 20 to the fully open position Q2 without pulling out the first storage section 20 from the base section 11, and a third usage mode in which the first storage section 20 is pulled out from the base section 11 to the fully open position P2 and the second storage section 30 is pulled out from the first storage section 20 to the fully open position Q2 can be realized.

For the third mode of use, the storage device 10 is preferably configured so that the first storage section 20 is stored before the second storage section 30. This configuration is effective in preventing the cup-shaped container Wc from being pinched between the first storage section 20 and the cover 10a when it is desired to store only the first storage section 20 while the cup-shaped container Wc is stored in the container storage space 31 of the second storage section 30.

The operation of setting each of the two storage sections 20, 30 to the fully closed position P1, Q1 or the fully open position P2, Q2 may be performed by the occupant directly pulling or pushing the storage device 10, or may be performed by using a biasing force obtained by an elastic member or an actuator.

As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in the storage space 21 of the first storage section 20, the partition 24 provided on the first inner wall surface 22 and the partition 25 provided on the second inner wall surface 23 have different erection heights H1, H2 from the bottom surface 26 of the storage space 21 to the upper ends 24a, 25a in the third direction Z. That is, the upper end 24a of the partition 24 is at the same height as the opening edge of the storage space 21, and the erection height H2 of the partition 25 is configured to be lower than the erection height H1 of the partition 24. This configuration can also be described as "the depth from the opening edge of the storage space 21 to the upper end 24a of the partition 24 is lower than the depth from the opening edge of the storage space 21 to the upper end 25a of the partition 25."

As shown in FIG. 7, the convex portion serving as the partition 25 has an inclined surface 25b facing the partition 24. This allows the occupant to freely swing the card Wb and remove it from the card insertion area 21b even if the lower part of the card Wb does not completely exceed the upper end 25a of the partition 25.

The first storage section 20 is preferably configured so that the bottom surface 26a of the card insertion area 21b of the storage space 21 is a downward sloping surface from the rear side to the front side in the closing slide direction X1. With this configuration, the card Wb is stored in the card insertion area 21b in a downward sloping state in accordance with the slope of the bottom surface 26a of the card insertion area 21b. This has the effect of preventing the front end of the card Wb from getting caught on the base section 11 or the interior panel 2, thereby interfering with the sliding movement of the first storage section 20 in the closing slide direction X1, when the first storage section 20 is slid in the closing slide direction X1 relative to the base section 11 toward the fully closed position P1 of the storage space 21.

Next, the effects of the above-mentioned embodiment 1 will be explained.

According to the storage device 10 of the first embodiment, the first storage section 20 can be slid relative to the base section 11 attached to the interior panel 2 of the vehicle 1, thereby setting the storage space 21 of the first storage section 20 to either the fully closed position P1 or the fully open position P2. The storage space 21 of the first storage section 20 is divided into a small item storage area 21a and a card storage area 21b by two partitions 24, 25 consisting of recesses or protrusions extending along the third direction Z. This partition structure makes it easier for the occupant to insert the fingers of the hand into the storage space and to easily insert and remove small items Wa and cards Wb, compared to a structure in which a partition wall extending from the first inner wall surface 22 to the second inner wall surface 23 is provided in the storage space 21 to completely separate the small item storage area 21a and the card storage area 21b.

In addition, the partition 24 provided on the first inner wall surface 22 and the partition 25 provided on the second inner wall surface 23 have different erection heights H1, H2 in the third direction Z. Therefore, the partition 24 with the relatively higher erection height H1 is effective in making it difficult for the card Wb leaned against the card insertion area 21b to fall over. In contrast, the partition 25 with the relatively lower erection height H2 is effective in improving the card Wb removal performance because the occupant has more freedom to move the card Wb when the card Wb is pulled out from the card insertion area 21b to a position that exceeds the upper end 25a of the partition 25. Therefore, the card Wb removal performance from the card insertion area 21b can be improved while ensuring the card Wb retention performance in the card insertion area 21b.

Therefore, according to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, it is possible to provide a user-friendly storage device 10 that can be used as a small item holder and a card holder.

In addition, according to the storage device 10 of the first embodiment, when it is assumed that the occupant accesses the first storage section 20 from the rear side in the closing slide direction X1, the partition 25 with a relatively low vertical height is provided on the second inner wall surface 23 near the occupant. Therefore, based on the trajectory of the occupant's fingers accessing the first storage section 20, the partition 25 is less likely to interfere with the occupant's operation when inserting and removing the card Wb, compared to providing a partition with a relatively high vertical height on the second inner wall surface 23. In particular, as in this embodiment, by configuring the partition 25 as a flat rib portion (convex portion) and making the opposing surface 25b of this rib portion facing the partition 24 an inclined surface, the effect of less interfering with the latter half of the operation when the occupant removes the card Wb from the card insertion area 21b and the first half of the operation when the occupant inserts the card Wb into the card insertion area 21b is enhanced.

In addition, according to the storage device 10 of the first embodiment, by combining the recessed portion as one partition 24 and the protruding portion as the other partition 25, it is effective in preventing the size of the accessory storage area 21a from becoming smaller while ensuring the size of the card insertion area 21b in the storage space 21 in the first direction X. Also, by storing the card Wb in the card insertion area 21b by fitting it into the partition 24 as a recess provided on the first inner wall surface 22 farther from the occupant, the partition 24 can prevent the card Wb from falling over.

In addition, according to the storage device 10 of embodiment 1, by sliding the first storage section 20 relative to the base section 11 to the fully open position P2 of the storage space 21, and by sliding the second storage section 30 relative to the first storage section 20 in two stages to the fully open position Q2 of the container storage space 31, it is possible to simultaneously function as a storage case for cup-shaped containers in addition to the functions as a storage case for small items and cards.

In addition, according to the storage device 10 of the first embodiment, the guide walls 20a of the first storage section 20 engage with the slide walls 30a of the second storage section 30 to form a sliding structure that allows the second storage section to slide between the fully closed position Q1 and the fully open position Q2. At this time, since the first storage section 20 has a storage space 21 in the area between the two guide walls 20a, the sliding structure for the second storage section 30 and the storage space 21 for storing small items Wa and cards Wb can be arranged so as not to overlap each other in the third direction Z. This makes it possible to suppress the size of the storage space 21 in the width direction Y from being restricted, which is effective in preventing the capacity of the storage space 21 from being reduced.

In a modification example particularly related to the storage device 10 of the first embodiment described above, for example, when a storage space 21 of the desired size can be secured, a structure can be adopted in which the partition 25 is a recess similar to the partition 24 instead of a protrusion.

In another modification example that is particularly related to the storage device 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the arrangement of the two partitions 24, 25 may be changed so that the card insertion area 21b extends in the second direction Y on one end side of the first direction X of the storage space 21.

In another modification example that is particularly related to the storage device 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, if the desired holding and removal performance of the card Wb can be achieved at the same time, a structure may be adopted in which the upper end 24a of the partition 24 is located lower than the opening edge of the storage space 21, and the upper end 25a of the partition 25 is located lower than the upper end 24a of the partition 24.

Below, other embodiments related to the above-mentioned first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the other embodiments, the same reference numerals as those in the above-mentioned first embodiment are used, and the description of the same elements will be omitted.

(Embodiment 2)
8, in the storage device 110 of the second embodiment, the structure of the first storage section 120 is different from the structure of the first storage section 20 of the storage device 10 of the first embodiment. A partition section 124 facing the partition section 25 is provided on the first inner wall surface 22 of the first storage section 120.

9, the partition 124 is a convex portion (rib portion) that extends along the third direction Z, similar to the partition 25. The partition 124 is set so that its thickness dimension in the second direction Y is approximately equal to the thickness dimension in the second direction Y of the partition 25. In addition, the partition 124 provided on the first inner wall surface 22 and the partition 25 provided on the second inner wall surface 23 have different erection heights H1, H2 from the bottom surface 26 of the storage space 21 to the upper ends 124a, 25a in the third direction Z. In other words, the erection height H2 of the partition 25 is configured to be lower than the erection height H1 of the partition 124.

The rest of the configuration is the same as in embodiment 1.

According to the storage device 110 of the second embodiment, the two partitions 124, 25 for dividing the storage space 21 of the first storage section 20 into the small item storage area 21a and the card storage area 21b can both be formed by protrusions (ribs).

Otherwise, it has the same effects as embodiment 1.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various applications and modifications are possible without departing from the purpose of the present invention. For example, the following forms can be implemented by applying the above-described embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment, the storage device 10, 110 is illustrated as having both the first storage section 20 and the second storage section 30, but instead, a structure in which the second storage section 30 is omitted can also be adopted.

In the above embodiment, the storage device 10, 110 is illustrated as being attached to the interior panel 2 of the vehicle 1, but instead, the storage device 10, 110 may be attached to a portion of the vehicle 1 other than the interior panel 2.
