Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a vehicle instrument panel device.

An instrument panel is provided at the front of a vehicle interior, and the instrument panel is provided with a meter, a glove box, an air outlet, and the like.

By the way, in the case of expressway passes and commercial vehicles, pieces of paper such as slips are usually stored in an open box or glove box on the side of the driver's seat, or left on the instrument panel, and the former is stored each time. It is necessary to open and close the lid,
In addition, it is necessary to open and close the lid again when paying a toll or issuing a slip, making the operation cumbersome.
You have to pick it up and search for it, which is a hassle.

The present invention was made to improve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a plurality of linear grooves on the top surface of the instrument panel, and to hold pass tickets, slips, etc. in the grooves in a standing manner. These paper pieces can be stored and taken out quickly, and even when the window is opened, the front windshield is used to prevent the influence of this, so that reliable storage can be achieved, and the above is simplified. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle instrument panel device that can be designed with a unique structure.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory perspective view of the instrument panel 1 of the vehicle. On the front passenger seat side of the front side 1a, there is a glove box 2 that can be opened and closed, and in the center of the front side 1a there are an air conditioner operation part, a radio, etc. A case part 3 that stores a coin pocket 4 and an air outlet 5 are provided at the front end, and a steering wheel (not shown) is provided in front of the driver's seat. The upper surface 1b is configured as a plane that is one step deeper than the surrounding embankment 1C, and the front end of the upper surface 1b projects upward from the embankment 1C to form a front end 1d, and a defroster outlet 6 is formed on this upper surface. is an opening for installing a meter located on the driver's seat side.

In the embodiment, the speaker panel 8 is provided at the center of the upper surface 1b of the instrument panel 1, and the speaker panel 8 has a panel section 8b that is one level lower than the surrounding boundary section 8a at the middle or front section. However, as is clear from FIGS. 3 and 5, in the embodiment, a large number of elongated holes 9 are provided in the left-right direction and in the front-rear direction, but instead of this, a large number of small holes may be provided.

The above panel 8 includes left and right side walls 8e, and a front end 8C of the plate portion.
and the rear end 8d are brought into contact with the front end 1e and the front end 1d of the boundary part forming the rear wall of the upper surface 1b, and the part of the elongated hole 9 is brought into contact with the upper surface 1b.
It is made to face a speaker facing an opening (not shown) provided in the.

The front part 10 at the boundary of the speaker panel 8 is flat and longer than other boundary parts in the front-rear direction.
0, a plurality, for example, three grooves 11 to 13 are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the grooves 11 to 13 are formed in parallel and elongated in the vehicle width direction (horizontal direction). .

Each of the grooves 11 to 13 is cut down to the side wall 8e, so both ends in the left and right direction are opened laterally.

In the embodiment, the first groove 11 is the shallowest and narrowest at the front, the second groove 12 is deeper and wider, and the third groove 12 is deeper and wider. Groove 13
The grooves 11 to 13 are set to be the deepest and widest, and the grooves 11 to 13 are set to have a V-shaped cross section so that they become wider toward the top and narrower toward the bottom.

In the above, a piece of paper such as a pass or a slip is inserted into the grooves 11 to 13 from above, and the lower part is supported upright by the groove,
The grooves have different depths and widths, so use the one that matches the depth.For thin pieces of paper, etc., bend this into a V shape and insert the bent part into the groove to support it, and for thick pieces of paper, Insert the end directly into a deep groove, etc. to support it.

Since the paper strip upright support section is located on the upper surface of the instrument panel and behind the front windshield, it is less affected by wind, and even when the windows are open, there is less influence from the wind when the vehicle is running.

In this way, multiple types of pieces of paper can be held upright on the instrument panel depending on the type without being affected by the wind, and pieces of paper can be stored and held without opening or closing the glove box or side box, making it possible to constantly check them. It has the advantage that it can be stored in a convenient place without being scattered, and it is easy to put in and take out paper pieces, and if it is provided on the speaker panel as in the above example, it is easier than the groove machining when molding the instrument panel. It has the advantage that the storage and holding section can be provided using existing parts, that it is easy to process, and that the cost is no different from that of the conventional method.

As shown in FIG. 6, the top surface 1 of the instrument panel 101
01b is provided with a plurality of protrusions 114 having V-shaped grooves 111 and 112 that open upward in the vehicle width direction, and the grooves have the same depth and different widths in the embodiment, and thus the instrument panel A groove may be provided directly on the top.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawings show a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an instrument panel, FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the same main part, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a speaker panel, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an instrument panel. 5 is a side view of the same, FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional side view of the same, and FIG. 6 is a diagram of a modified embodiment. In addition, 1,101 in the drawing is an instrument panel, 1b,
101 b is the upper surface, and 11 to 13.111.112 are grooves.
