Description

Applicable to Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Law. Product description materials for the in-car drink holder were distributed to Autobacs Seven Co., Ltd. on June 11, 2021. Product description materials for the in-car drink holder were distributed to Yellow Hat Co., Ltd. on July 27, 2021. Product description materials for the in-car drink holder were distributed to Toyota Mobility Parts Co., Ltd. on July 28, 2021. This disclosure relates to an in-vehicle drink holder. A well-known example is the in-car drink holder that is installed in a vehicle. An in-car drink holder is configured to support a beverage container. For example, an in-car drink holder is configured to be attached to the air conditioning vent of a vehicle (Patent Document 1). By using the vehicle's built-in drink holder, passengers are freed from the burden of constantly holding onto their beverage containers. Examples of beverage containers include PET bottles, water bottles, paper cups, and plastic cups. Of these, paper cups have a bottom wall that extends downward from the periphery of the bottom surface, creating a space in the area below the bottom surface and inside the bottom wall. In a paper cup, the beverage is contained in the area above the bottom surface, and no beverage is placed in the space formed by the bottom surface and bottom wall. In other words, a paper cup is configured so that the beverage is placed at a position higher than the lowest part of the paper cup itself (the lower end of the bottom wall). Furthermore, in-car drink holders are designed to maintain the temperature of beverages by directing cool or warm air from the air conditioner onto the beverage container.

Embodiments to which this disclosure applies will be described below with reference to the drawings. Furthermore, this disclosure is not limited in any way to the embodiments described below, and it goes without saying that it can take various forms as long as they fall within the technical scope of this disclosure. [1. First Embodiment] [1-1. Overall Structure] The in-vehicle drink holder 1 shown in Figure 1 of this embodiment is installed inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle such as an automobile. The in-vehicle drink holder 1 is configured to be attachable to the air conditioning vent inside the vehicle. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the in-vehicle drink holder 1 comprises a holder body 11 and a container storage section 13. The holder body 11 is configured to be fixed to the vehicle. Specifically, it is configured to be attachable to the air conditioning vent of the vehicle. The holder body 11 comprises a main body 21, two fixing clips 23, a flap 25, an adjuster 27, and a cushioning material 29. The main body 21 is configured to have an area for arranging the container storage section 13. The main body 21 is configured so that the container storage section 13 can be inserted and placed from above. The main body 21 is configured so that two fixing clips 23 can be attached to its back surface. The fixing clip 23 is configured to be fixed to the air conditioner vent. By fixing the fixing clip 23 to the air conditioner vent, the main unit 21 can be attached to the air conditioner vent. The flap 25 is configured to be biased toward the interior of the main body 21 by a spring (not shown). The flap 25 is configured to hold down the container housing 13 located inside the main body 21. The biasing force of the flap 25 prevents the container housing 13 from moving within the main body 21. The adjuster 27 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the main body 21, along the front-to-rear direction from the front to the rear. The adjuster 27 is configured to adjust the protrusion dimension from the rear of the main body 21 by sliding. The adjuster 27 is provided to cont
