Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a card storage structure which is simple in the structure, occupies a small installation space and can prevent the generation of noise due to vibration of cards. SOLUTION: At the bottom of a card storage case 20, a card holding part 30 is integrally formed whose base end 31 continues from the bottom and whose free end 32 on the front of the drawing direction is energized so as to rotate upward by elasticity of the base end 31, and a card pressing part 15 is provided on the inner upper face of a storage part 12, in which a card 50 stored in the card holding part 30 is brought into pressure contact by the elasticity of the base end 31 when the card storage case 20 is made to be embedded into the storage part 12. When the card storage case 20 is drawn from the storage part 12, the free end 32 of the card holding part 30 is raised upward, and a stored card can be taken out easily. Also, when the card storage case 20 is made to be embedded into the storage part, the card is brought into pressure contact with the card pressing part 15, and the vibration of the card during driving can be prevented.

2. Description of the Related Art As one type of this type of card storage structure, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-211082 discloses a card storage case in which a push-up mechanism including an interlocking body and a push-up body is provided. There is disclosed a card storage structure in which a front side of a card is lifted by a mechanism so that the card can be easily taken out.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional card storage structure requires a push-up mechanism having a complicated structure including an interlocking body and a push-up body, so that the number of parts is large, the production cost is high, and a wide installation space is required. Becomes In addition, the card in the card storage case vibrates during traveling of the vehicle, generating abnormal noise and impairing the livability of the vehicle. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has an object to provide a card storage structure which has a simple structure, requires less installation space, can prevent generation of abnormal noise due to card vibration, and has excellent operability. I do.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a card storage structure in which a card storage case is incorporated in a storage portion provided in a main body so as to be able to be taken in and out. Is integrally formed with a card holding portion which is continuous with the bottom portion and is biased such that a free end on the near side in the drawing direction is rotated upward by the elasticity of the base end portion, and the card storage portion is provided on an inner upper surface of the storage portion. When a case is embedded in the storage section, a card holding section is provided, in which a card stored in the card holding section is pressed against the base end portion by elasticity. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the card storage structure according to the first aspect, a first projection and a second projection are formed on a back side of a bottom of the card storage case,
A moderation hole with which the first protrusion engages when the card storage case is embedded in the storage portion, and a first protrusion when the card storage case is pulled out from the storage portion, are provided on the inner lower surface of the storage portion. A moderation hole to be engaged with the second projection, the second projection being slidably fitted, and the second projection being engaged with an end on the near side when the card storage case is pulled out of the storage section. Is formed.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
When the card storage case is pulled out of the storage unit, the free end on the front side of the card holding unit is lifted upward by the elasticity of the base end, so that the stored card can be easily taken out.
Also, when the card storage case is embedded in the storage section, the card stored in the card holding section is pressed against the card holding section of the storage section by the elasticity of the base end, so that the card vibrates during traveling of the vehicle. This can prevent occurrence of abnormal noise due to vibration of the card. However, in the present invention, the card holding portion is formed integrally with the bottom of the card storage case, and the free end on the near side in the pull-out direction is lifted upward by the elasticity of the base end continuous with the bottom of the card storage case. And the installation space is reduced. According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the card storage case is stowed in the storage section and when the card storage case is pulled out, the first projection is engaged with the moderation hole and positioned, so that a good operational feeling is obtained. be able to. Furthermore, when the card storage case is pulled out, the second projection is engaged with the front end of the long hole, so that the case can be prevented from easily coming off the storage portion.
