Cup Holder for Car {CUP HOLDER OF AN AUTOMOBILE}

The present invention relates to a cup holder provided on a console of a vehicle for supporting a beverage can or a cup without flow.

In recent years, as road conditions improve and life improves, there is a tendency to drive long distances by automobiles.

As described above, in the case of long distance driving, a lot of drinks are consumed indoors, and in view of this, a tray for storing and supporting beverage cans or cups is provided on a console or crash pad of a vehicle.

However, in such a conventional structure, since a tray for accommodating a cup, a beverage can, or the like is separately provided on the crash pad, there is a problem in that the interior space of the vehicle cannot be effectively utilized.

The present invention was created to solve such a conventional problem, and can not only effectively utilize the internal space of the vehicle, but also make the appearance beautiful, and prevent the problem that small items are leaked into the interior. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cup holder for automobiles.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a holder housing which is installed in the floor console and has a space therein; A slider installed to be slidable up and down along the space portion of the holder housing and having guide rails provided on both inner wall surfaces thereof; It is characterized in that it comprises a; a holder body which is installed to be transported up and down and rotatable along the guide rail of the slider, the cup is inserted and supported.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the cup holder according to the present invention is roughly divided into a holder housing 10, a slider 20, and a holder body 30.

The holder housing 10 is fixedly installed on the floor console 1 through fixing means, for example, a plurality of fixing screws S, and a space 11 is provided therein.

The slider 20 slides upward and downward along the inner space 11 of the holder housing 10, and guide rails 21 are provided on both inner wall surfaces thereof.

The holder main body 30 is formed in an annular shape, and a cup, a beverage can, and the like are supported on the central inner circumferential surface thereof.

The holder body 30 is slidably installed along the guide rail 21 of the slider 30 in the up and down directions, and in particular, is rotatable in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction while being exposed to the outside of the guide rail 21. Hinge axis is combined.

The holder body 30 is rotated in the state of being transferred outward of the floor console 1, that is, the slider 20, and is supported in a direction substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction by having one end contacting the outer end of the slider 20.

At this time, in order to further improve the holding force, the stopper 31 extends in the longitudinal direction on both outer surfaces of the holder body 30, the locking groove 22 is formed on the outer surface of the corresponding slider (20).

In storing the cup or the drink cap as the inner circumferential surface of the holder body 30, it should be supported so as not to flow while preventing the slide, for this purpose to elastically support the cup or beverage can on the inner circumferential surface of the holder body 30 A support member is further provided.

The support member is provided with a plurality of ribs 40 formed in rubber in a half moon shape on the inner circumferential surface of the holder main body 30.

On the other hand, the above-described slider 20 is slidingly transported around the holder housing 10, the holder body 30 is slidingly transported around the slider 20, each to prevent the departure from the opponent. There is a need.

To this end, stoppers 12 are provided on both inner wall surfaces of the holder housing 10, and locking grooves 23 are formed in the longitudinal direction on both outer surfaces of the slider 20 so as to be caught by the stoppers 12.

That is, the slider 20 is prevented from being separated from the upper portion of the holder housing 10 through the locking operation of the locking groove 23 and the stopper 12.

On the other hand, in a state where the slider 20 is taken out of the holder housing 10, the holder body 30 taken out of the slider 20 must be supported.

That is, the lower movement should be prevented. For this purpose, the locking ribs 13 and 24 are provided on the outer surface of the holder housing 10 corresponding to the outer surface of the center of the slider 20.

At this time, the locking ribs 13 and 24 have a predetermined elastic force by cutting the outer surfaces of the slider 20 and the holder housing 10, respectively.

The holder body 30 described above should be prevented from flowing in the up and down directions in a state of being embedded on the slider 20. To this end, a stopper 25 is provided on the center outer surface of the slider 20, and a locking groove 32 is formed on one outer surface of the corresponding holder body 30.

Referring to the operating state of the cup holder of the present invention having such a configuration as follows.

First, the slider 20 is initially embedded inside the holder housing 10, and the holder main body 30 is located inside the slider 20 while the upper end thereof is slightly exposed to the upper side of the floor console 1. It is in a state.

Thus, the holder main body 30 is installed so as to be slightly exposed to the outside of the floor console 1 for easy extraction.

In this state, when the user pushes the holder body 30 to the outside of the floor console 1 in order to store a cup or a beverage can, the slider 20 opens the space 21 of the holder housing 10. Accordingly, in the state of being conveyed to the outside and conveyed at a certain distance, the stopping grooves 23 of the slider 20 are interlocked with the stopper 12 of the holder housing 10 so that the conveyance of the slider 20 is stopped. That is, the top deviation is prevented.

When the holder main body 30 is pushed outward in this state, only the holder main body 30 is transported to the outer end of the slider 20 along the guide rail 21 of the slider 20 and locked. As shown in FIG. 4, the holder main body 30 is inclined at a predetermined angle and is supported in contact with the upper surface of the floor console 1.

In addition, the holder body 30 is held by the stopper 31 formed on its outer surface by the locking groove 22 formed on the outer end of the slider 20 by the rotation operation to maintain the rotation state with a more firm support force.

On the other hand, in this state, the slider 20 maintains a state where the locking ribs 24 extending on the outer surface of the slider are locked to the locking ribs 13 of the holder housing 10, that is, the flow in the downward direction is prevented. Therefore, the holder main body 30 can be maintained.

Therefore, the cup or beverage can is stably inserted into the inner circumferential surface of the holder main body 30 so as to be accommodated.

Even in storing the cup or the beverage can in the holder main body 30, the support member is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the holder main body 30, that is, the rib 40 is formed of rubber and provided in a plural half moon shape. Will be able to elastically support beverage cans.

That is, no flow is generated during driving.

On the other hand, in returning the holder main body 30 and the slider 20 to the original position, the slider 20 is placed on the holder housing 10 and the holder main body 30 is moved by performing an operation opposite to the ejection. It is built in each on (20).

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that the inner space of the vehicle can be efficiently utilized by storing and taking out the holder body and the slider for storing cups and beverage cans on the narrow floor console. In particular, since the holder body is not exposed to the outside, there is an advantage of preventing the problem of damaging the internal aesthetics in advance.
