  In Patent Document 1, in order to prevent the tray from being pulled out (disengaged) upward from the console body, a locking claw is formed on the tray and the locking claw is locked in the locking hole of the console body. .

  By the way, there is a desire to improve the appearance of the periphery of the opening edge by attaching the opening edge of the cup holder and the upper surface of the console body to be flush with each other. In such a case, in the structure of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the tray is moved upward by the locking claw and the locking hole as described above, and the tray is placed on the stepped portion and lowered to the bottom of the tray. Since the fall is prevented, the above-mentioned demand cannot be sufficiently achieved due to molding errors of the locking claw, the locking hole, the stepped portion and the like.

  On the other hand, a cup holder may be attached to an interior panel such as a side trim of an automobile. In such a case, the interior panel includes a first vertical wall portion located outside the vehicle, a second vertical wall portion located inside the vehicle, a lower end of the first vertical wall portion, and an upper end of the second vertical wall portion. And a substantially horizontal planar wall portion that connects the two together, and an opening is formed in the planar wall portion. And if a tray like the said patent document 1 is attached to the said plane wall part from a plane wall part upper direction, the same problem as the said patent document 1 will arise.

  Therefore, as another mounting method, a welding boss is projected downward near the opening on the back surface of the flat wall portion, and a substantially horizontal flange portion having an insertion hole for inserting the welding boss is used as a cup holder. When the welding boss formed and inserted into the insertion hole from above is welded to the lower surface of the flange portion by a welding horn, an interior panel (second vertical wall portion) below the flat wall portion and an insertion port for inserting a cup There is a problem that it is necessary to insert a welding horn into a narrow space between the holder part having the upper end of the cup, and it becomes difficult to attach the cup holder and a welding facility is required, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost.

  The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to attach the cup holder to the interior panel in a good-looking manner with an easy operation while suppressing the manufacturing cost.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts a mounting protrusion instead of a locking claw or a welding boss, and causes the cup holder to function as a guide for the cup holder in the process of mounting the cup holder. It is characterized by being positioned at a regular position of the interior panel.

  Specifically, the present invention includes a planar wall portion formed with an opening and extending in a substantially horizontal direction, a first vertical wall portion integrally connected to one end of the planar wall portion and extending upward, and the planar wall portion. A cup in which a resin interior panel is formed in a stepped shape by a second vertical wall portion that is integrally connected to the other end of the cup and extends downward, and a holder portion having an insertion opening for inserting a cup at the upper end.

  Furthermore, since the annular upper edge of the holder part of the cup holder is inserted into the opening of the flat wall part of the interior panel, the movement of the upper edge in the substantially horizontal direction is restricted and stabilized by the opening. The cup holder can be attached to the interior panel, and the gap between the opening and the upper edge can be made as small as possible, and the appearance of the cup can be further improved.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the retaining claw portion returns to its original position and abuts against the engaging piece portion, so that the attachment projection is reliably prevented from being detached from the fitting port, and the cup holder is attached. The state is stable.

  In addition, since the retaining claw is formed in a shape that bends in the vertical direction during the cup holder installation process, there is no undercut due to the molding of the claw, and the mold does not require a slide mold. Cost is low.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the effect of claim 2 can be obtained, and a plate-like claw seat portion having a flexible retaining claw portion is provided on the attachment projection and the back surface of the interior panel. Since it is formed integrally, the mounting protrusion fits into the fitting port of the fitting piece, and in addition to the guide function for the fitting piece during mounting and the support function of the fitting piece in the attached state It acts as a reinforcing function for the plate-shaped claw seat portion during mounting.

  According to the invention which concerns on Claim 4, since the long hole for positioning is formed long in the up-down direction, the sliding with respect to the insertion projection part upper edge of a fitting port upper edge is not inhibited. Moreover, since the positioning slot restricts the movement of the positioning protrusion in the left-right direction, the entire cup holder is positioned in the left-right direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical positioning projection 51 is integrally projected at a position in the middle of the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and downward from the plane wall portion 17 (see FIG. 2). Each positioning projection 51 is reinforced and supported by a plurality of ribs 53. After the attachment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the tip of the positioning protrusion 51 is welded to a positioning long hole 63 described later to form a bulging portion 51a.

  On the other hand, in the vicinity of the upper end of the holder portion 27 of the cup holder 23, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, a plate-like flange portion 55 is substantially provided over the entire circumference except for the middle portion of the insertion port 25 on the passenger compartment side. It protrudes integrally so as to project in the horizontal direction. Plate-like projecting portions 59a and 59c projecting upward with the plate surface facing the outside of the vehicle interior are integrally formed at both ends of the flange portion 55 on the vehicle outer side projecting end edge in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Projected. Each of the protrusions 59a and 59c has a horizontally long (long in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body) rectangular shape into which the fitting protrusions 43 of the pair of attachment protrusions 35 protruding from the first vertical wall portion 19 can be fitted. A fitting port 61 is formed. The projecting portions 59a and 59c and the flange portions 55 corresponding to the projecting portions 59a and 59c are configured so that a substantially L-shaped fitting piece portion 60 corresponds to the mounting protrusion 35. Further, a projecting portion 59b is formed integrally between the projecting portions 59a and 59c at the projecting outer edge of the flange portion 55 so as to project the plate surface upward toward the outside of the vehicle interior. A long positioning hole 63 for inserting the positioning protrusion 51 on the back surface of the first vertical wall portion 19 is formed in the protruding portion 59b so as to be long in the vertical direction. On the other hand, a plate-like bent portion 65 that bends the plate surface downward toward the outside of the vehicle interior is formed at the projecting inner edge of the flange portion 55, and the bent portion 65 is provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. A laterally long (long in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body) rectangular fitting port 61 is formed in which the fitting protrusions 43 of the pair of attachment protrusions 35 protruding from the second vertical wall part 21 can be fitted. The bent portion 65 and the flange portion 55 corresponding to the bent portion 65 are configured such that a substantially L-shaped fitting piece portion 60 corresponds to the mounting protrusion 35. The flange portion 55, the projecting portions 59a to 59c, and the bent portion 65 are reinforced by a plurality of plate-like reinforcing ribs 69 that are integrally projected on the back surfaces thereof.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper end edge 31 above the flange portion 55 (fitting piece portion 60) projecting base end of the holder portion 27 has an outer periphery that surrounds the insertion opening 25. It is formed in an oval shape that is long in the direction. That is, the upper end edge 31 of the holder part 27 is formed so as to protrude upward from the flange part 55. Ribs 68 extending in an arc along the upper edge 31 are integrally provided on both outer sides of the upper edge 31 of the holder 27 on the surface of the flange 55 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The rib 68 is in contact with or close to the back surface of the flat wall portion 17 from below. A plurality of plate-like ribs 70 are provided on the surface of the flange portion 55 to reinforce and support the protruding portions 59a to 59c.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper edge 31 corresponding to the portion where the flange portion 55 is not formed is formed by the four plate-like ribs 71 extending in the vertical direction with the plate surface in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. It is connected to 27 side surfaces of the vehicle. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a substantially rectangular plate-like hanging piece 73 extending substantially downward is provided below the rib 71 on the side of the holder 27 (in the vicinity of the bottom of the holder 27). Has been. A long slot 63 for positioning into which the positioning protrusion 51 on the back surface of the second vertical wall 21 is inserted is formed in the hanging piece 73 so as to be long in the vertical direction. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, two plate-shaped reinforcing ribs 77 facing each other with the positioning long hole 63 interposed therebetween are provided on the vehicle outer side surface of the hanging piece 73. It is connected to and protrudes.

  In order to attach the cup holder 23 configured as described above to the side trim 7, first, the side trim of the cup holder 23 with the protruding portions 59a to 59c on the outside of the vehicle body and the bent portion 65 on the inside of the vehicle body. 7 Position on the back side, and insert the tips of the positioning projections 51 of the first vertical wall portion 19 and the second vertical wall portion 21 into the positioning elongated holes 63 of the protruding portion 59b and the hanging piece portion 73, respectively. In this state, as indicated by phantom lines in FIG. 9A, the insertion opening 25 of the holder portion 27 corresponds to the opening portion 33 of the planar wall portion 17, and the insertion protrusions of the four pairs of attachment protrusions 35. The portion 41 corresponds to the fitting port 61 of the protruding portions 59a and 59c and the bent portion 65.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when the cup holder 23 is moved forward so that the fitting piece portion 60 approaches the back surface of the side trim 7, the fitting opening 61 moves to the fitting port 61. The insertion protrusion 41 of the attachment protrusion 35 is inserted, and the upper edge 61a of the fitting port 61 slides forward on the upper edge of the insertion protrusion 41 toward the base end with the movement. Thereby, the cup holder 23 moves diagonally upward on the vehicle compartment side. In parallel with this movement, as shown in FIG. 9B, the retaining claw 49 is pressed against the lower edge 61b of the fitting port 61 and bent upward, and the insertion protrusion of the upper edge 61a of the fitting port 61 is bent. 41 The sliding to the upper edge and the fitting protrusion 43 are allowed to be inserted. And with the said movement, the upper end edge part 31 of the holder part 27 inserts into the opening part 33 of the said plane wall part 17 toward upper direction from the downward direction. Here, the positioning slot 63 moves upward with respect to the positioning projection 51 in accordance with the above movement. However, since the positioning slot 63 is long in the vertical direction, the cup holder 23 moves upward. Is permitted, and movement in the left-right direction (vehicle body longitudinal direction) is restricted. Accordingly, the entire cup holder 23 is positioned in the left-right direction without obstructing the sliding of the upper edge of the fitting opening 61 with respect to the upper edge of the insertion protrusion 41 by the positioning hole 63.

  When the cup holder 23 moves further forward obliquely upward on the passenger compartment side, as shown in FIG. 9C, the fitting protrusion 43 is fitted into the fitting port 61, and the upper edge 61a and the lower edge 61b of the fitting port 61 are inserted. The fitting projection 43 fits and holds the fitting piece 60 and the support 45 comes into contact with the upper edge of the fitting port 61. In this state, the retaining claw 49 is released from the pressing force applied to the lower edge 61b of the fitting port 61 and returns to the original position, and comes into contact with the outer periphery of the lower edge 61b of the fitting port 61 so that the fitting protrusion 35 is fitted. This prevents the fitting 61 from coming off from the fitting 61, that is, the fitting piece 60 in the cup holder 23 from coming off from the mounting projection 35. Further, in this state, the outer surface of the upper end edge 31 of the holder portion 27 is in contact with or close to the inner peripheral edge of the opening 33 of the flat wall portion 17 and the surface of the upper end edge 31 is the surface of the flat wall portion 17. It is flush with the periphery of the opening 33.

  Then, a welding horn or the like is brought into contact with the positioning protrusion 51 inserted into the positioning long hole 63 from the back side of the side trim 7 to melt the tip of the positioning protrusion 51 and weld to the side edge of the positioning long hole 63. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, a bulging portion 51a that protrudes from the positioning slot 63 in the left-right direction is formed, and the positioning slot 63 is prevented from coming off from the positioning projection 51, and the cup holder The backlash with respect to the side trim 7 of 23 is prevented.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the cup holder 23 is attached to the side trim 7, the fitting projection 43 contacts or is close to the upper edge 61 a and the lower edge 61 b of the fitting opening 61 of the fitting piece 60. Therefore, the cup holder 23 is stably supported. Moreover, since the upper end edge 31 surface of the holder part 27 in the cup holder 23 is attached flush with the periphery of the opening 33 on the surface of the flat wall part 17 of the side trim 7, the appearance is good. Further, at the time of the above attachment, the fitting port 61 of the fitting piece 60 passes through the retaining claw portion 49 and at the same time, the bent retaining claw portion 49 returns to the original position and the outside of the lower edge 61b of the fitting port 61 Since the contact is made around, the attachment projection 35 can be reliably prevented from being detached from the fitting opening 61 before the fixing portion 59 and the positioning projection 51 are fixed to the projection 59b by the welding horn or the like.

  In addition, since the cup holder 23 is attached to the side trim 7 so that the upper end edge 31 of the holder portion 27 is inserted into the opening 33 of the flat wall portion 17 from below to above from the back side of the side trim 7, Even if the first vertical wall portion 19 extends obliquely upward toward the passenger compartment side above the flat wall portion 17, the first vertical wall portion 19 does not hinder the mounting operation.

  Furthermore, since the annular upper end edge 31 of the holder part 27 in the cup holder 23 is inserted into the opening 33 of the flat wall part 17 in the side trim 7, the movement of the upper end edge 31 in the substantially horizontal direction is performed as described above. The cup holder 23 can be stably attached to the side trim 7 while being regulated by the opening 33, and the gap between the opening 33 and the upper edge 31 can be made as small as possible. Can be improved.

  Further, since there is no vertical wall portion of the side trim 7 or the holder portion 27 that prevents the insertion of the welding horn in the vicinity of the protruding portion 59b and the drooping piece portion 73, the welding operation can be easily performed.

  Further, since the plate-like claw seat portion 37 formed with the retaining pawl portion 49 is integrally connected to the pair of mounting projections 35, a pair of mounting projections is fitted to the fitting port 61 of the fitting piece portion 60 during mounting. When the 35 moves forward during insertion, the retaining claw portion 49 bends, and even if this reaction force acts on the plate-like claw seat portion 37, the pair of attachment projections 35 acts as reinforcement of the plate-like claw seat portion 37. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the plate-like claw seat portion 37 from being bent and the functions such as reliable bending and restoration of the retaining claw portion 49 from being deteriorated. That is, the pair of attachment projections 35 are fitted into the fitting openings 61 of the fitting piece 60, and in addition to the guide function for the fitting piece 60 during attachment and the support function of the fitting piece 60 in the attached state. Thus, a function (effect) of reinforcing the plate-like claw seat portion 37 at the time of attachment is provided.

  Further, since the fitting piece portion 60 is fitted and held by the mounting protrusion 35, there is no undercut portion caused by the locking claw as in the prior art, no slide mold is required at the time of molding, and the mold structure of the molding die The manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mounting protrusions 35 project from both the first vertical wall portion 19 and the second vertical wall portion 21. However, the mounting projections 35 may project from either one.

  Further, the positioning projection 51, the protruding portion 59b, and the hanging piece portion 73 may be fixed by screws, rebeds, or the like in addition to the welding by the welding horn or the like.

  Moreover, although the insertion opening 25 for cup insertion was made into the shape which can accommodate two cups, the shape which can accommodate one cup may be sufficient and the number of the cups which can be accommodated is not limited.

  In addition to the side trim 7, the cup holder 23 can be attached to an interior panel such as a door trim or an instrument panel.

  Further, the plate-like claw seat portion 37 provided with the retaining claws 49 does not necessarily have to be formed integrally with the pair of mounting projections 35, and the first vertical wall portion is separated from the mounting projections 35. You may protrude in the vicinity of the attachment protrusion 35 in the back surface of at least one of 19 and the 2nd vertical wall part 21. FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, in addition to the fitting piece portion 60 having the fitting opening 61 into which the attachment projection 35 is fitted, the engagement piece portion 79 to which the retaining claw portion 49 is engaged is provided with the cup holder body 29. It is necessary to project in the vicinity of the fitting port 61. In FIG. 11, a substantially L-shaped engagement piece 79 is constituted by the protruding portion 59c constituting the fitting piece portion 60 in the above embodiment and the flange portion 55 corresponding to the protruding portion 59c. An engagement hole 81 is formed in the engagement piece portion 79, and the retaining pawl portion 49 is in contact with the lower edge 81a of the engagement hole 81 in the engagement piece portion 79 from the outside of the vehicle. In addition, the engagement piece 81 does not necessarily have to be formed with the engagement hole 81, and as shown in FIG. 12, the protruding portion 59 c protrudes short, and the retaining claw portion 49 is provided with the engagement piece portion 79. You may make it contact | abut to the upper end edge 79a of this from the vehicle outer side.

  Further, the retaining claw portion 49 may have a shape equivalent to the plate thickness of the plate-like claw seat portion 37 so that the tip of the claw is inclined toward the back side of the plate-like claw seat portion 37.

  Further, the attachment protrusions 35 may be protruded at a plurality of locations in a state of not forming a pair without protruding in a state of forming a pair in opposition to the other attachment protrusions 35.
