Abstract

A rotary holder device includes: a vehicle interior member having an opening portion formed with a predetermined shape in an upper surface thereof; and a rotary body mounted on the vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction. The rotary body has a first holder portion and a second holder portion provided at rotation angle positions different from each other. The first holder portion has a first opening formed in a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape, and a first bottom wall facing the first opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the first opening. The second holder portion has a second opening formed in a rectangular shape, and a second bottom wall facing the second opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the second opening.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotary holder device comprising:
a vehicle interior member having an opening portion formed with a predetermined shape in an upper surface thereof; and
a rotary body mounted on the vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction,
wherein
the rotary body has a first holder portion and a second holder portion provided at rotation angle positions different from each other,
the first holder portion has a first opening formed in a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape, and a first bottom wall facing the first opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the first opening,
the second holder portion has a second opening formed in a rectangular shape, and a second bottom wall facing the second opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the second opening, and
in a state where the second opening is opened through the opening portion, the first bottom wall is a side support wall configured to support a back surface or a front surface of an object to be held inserted into the second opening and brought into contact with the second bottom wall.

2. The rotary holder device according to claim 1 , wherein the second holder portion has a restriction portion configured to restrict a bottom portion of an object to be held inserted into the second opening and brought into contact with the second bottom wall, from moving relative to the second bottom wall.

3. The rotary holder device according to claim 1 , wherein an arrangement angle difference between the first holder portion and the second holder portion provided in the rotary body is equal to or less than 90°.

4. The rotary holder device according to claim 1 , further comprising a power feeder disposed at a back surface side of the first bottom wall opposite to a front surface side of the first bottom wall with which the back surface or the front surface of the object to be held is brought into contact, the power feeder being configured to wirelessly supply power to the object to be held.

5. The rotary holder device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary body has a pressing mechanism configured to press the object to be held inserted into the second opening, to a front surface side of the first bottom wall.

6. The rotary holder device according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing mechanism has a swinging member configured to swing so as to open and close the second opening, and a first biasing member configured to generate biasing force that biases the swinging member in a direction in which the second opening is closed.

7. The rotary holder device according to claim 1 , further comprising an opening device configured to, by an end portion, at one side in a rotation direction with respect to the second opening, of the rotary body being pressed downward in a state where the second opening is opened through the opening portion, rotate the rotary body to another side in the rotation direction to open the first opening through the opening portion.

8. The rotary holder device according to claim 7 , wherein the opening device has a second biasing member engaged at one end portion thereof with the vehicle interior member and engaged at another end portion thereof with the rotary body, the second biasing member being configured to generate biasing force that biases the rotary body to the other side in the rotation direction.

9. The rotary holder device according to claim 1 , further comprising a switching knob provided on a peripheral edge of the first opening at another side in a rotation direction so as to project outward and configured to assist in performing an operation of rotating the rotary body to one side in the rotation direction in a state where the first opening is opened through the opening portion.

10. A rotary holder device comprising:
a vehicle interior member having an opening portion formed with a predetermined shape in an upper surface thereof; and
a rotary body mounted on the vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction,
wherein
the rotary body has a first holder portion and a second holder portion provided at rotation angle positions different from each other,
the first holder portion has a first opening formed in a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape, and a first bottom wall facing the first opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the first opening,
the second holder portion has a second opening formed in a rectangular shape, and a second bottom wall facing the second opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the second opening, and
the second holder portion has a restriction portion configured to restrict a bottom portion of an object to be held inserted into the second opening and brought into contact with the second bottom wall, from moving relative to the second bottom wall.

11. A rotary holder device comprising:
a vehicle interior member having an opening portion formed with a predetermined shape in an upper surface thereof; and
a rotary body mounted on the vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction,
wherein
the rotary body has a first holder portion and a second holder portion provided at rotation angle positions different from each other,
the first holder portion has a first opening formed in a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape, and a first bottom wall facing the first opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the first opening, and
the second holder portion has a second opening formed in a rectangular shape, and a second bottom wall facing the second opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the second opening,
further comprising a switching knob provided Oil a peripheral edge of the first opening at another side in a rotation direction so as to project outward and configured to assist in performing an operation of rotating the rotary body to one side in the rotation direction in a state where the first opening is opened through the opening portion.
