  The present invention relates to a container holding device having a container housing space that is recessed downward from the upper surface of a center console of a vehicle and capable of adjusting the vertical position of the bottom wall portion of the container housing space.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a vehicle such as an automobile, in order to receive and hold containers such as cups, cans, and plastic bottles, a bottomed cylindrical cup that forms a container receiving space so as to be recessed downward from the upper surface of the center console. A structure provided with holders (a peripheral wall portion and a bottom wall portion) is well known.

  Generally, the cup holder is provided integrally with the center console, and improves the stability of a container (hereinafter referred to as a storage container) accommodated in the cup holder, for example, based on a predetermined container (for example, a 350 ml can). At the same time, in order to make it easier to pick up the storage container, the depth of the container storage space is set so that the storage container appropriately protrudes above the cup holder. Further, since the shift lever is provided on the center console so as to protrude upward, it is necessary to set the vertical position of the bottom wall portion so that the container does not interfere with the operation of the shift lever.

  On the other hand, as in Patent Document 1, in a container holding device that is being put into practical use by the applicant of the present application, a main body member is fixed to the center console, and a fixed peripheral wall that forms an oblong hole in a plan view through the main body member. An accommodating member having a pair of cup holder portions (movable peripheral wall portion and movable bottom wall portion) is accommodated inside the fixed peripheral wall portion, and the container is accommodated by the fixed peripheral wall portion and the accommodating member of the main body member. A space is formed.

  A pair of opposed inner surfaces of the fixed peripheral wall portion of the main body member are formed into tapered surfaces whose intervals become smaller downward, and the accommodating member is fitted and supported on these tapered surfaces, and the accommodating member is held at the lower position. The A lid member is movably connected to the main body member, and the lid member closes a horizontal closed position that closes the container housing space, and a vertical open position that rotates 90 degrees from the closed position to open the container housing space, When the cover member is in the closed position and the open position, the storage member is held in the lower position when the cover member is moved downward from the open position and stored in the center console.

When the middle part of the swing lever in the length direction is pivotably connected to the lower end of the fixed peripheral wall portion of the main body member, and the cover member is lowered from the open position to the storage position, the cover member moves the base of the swing lever. When the end is pushed downward, the tip of the swing lever is raised from the lower side in contact with the housing member, the housing member is pushed upward, and the lid member is held in the housing position. The position of the swing lever is fixed, and the housing member is held at the upper position in a state where it is supported downward by the tip of the swing lever.
JP 2002-67809 A

  In the conventional structure in which the cup holder is formed integrally with the center console of the vehicle to form the container housing space, the vertical position of the bottom wall (the depth of the container housing space) is constant. When a tall container is accommodated, the container protrudes greatly to the upper side of the cup holder, the stability of the container decreases, and the container obstructs the operation of the shift lever. When a low-container container is stored, the storage container hardly protrudes above the cup holder, and there is a possibility that it is difficult to pick up the storage container.

  The container holding device of Patent Document 1 can improve the above problem, but has the following problems. When the storage member is used in the down position, the cover member is in the open position, and the cover member in the open position is inconvenient when storing the container or picking up the storage container.
