Abstract

A cover for a cup holder device for a vehicle includes a cover unit including a body, and a side surface protrusion group formed to be protruded on both side surfaces of the body and provided in plural along the longitudinal direction of the body; and a support unit installed at the bottom surface side of the cover unit to support the load of the cover unit, and having a structure in which a plurality of support members formed in the shape of a slice, respectively, are installed to be spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the cover unit.

Claims (20)

1. A cover for a cup holder device for a vehicle, the cover being configured to be slidably moved to open or close a receiving space of the cup holder device disposed inside a vehicle, and having both side portions fitted into a pair of guide grooves, which are positioned at both sides of an upper portion of the receiving space, have portions bent to an outside of a rear portion of the receiving space, and are positioned to face each other, the cover comprising:

a cover unit including a body, and a side surface protrusion group protruded from both side surfaces of the body and having a plurality of side surface protrusions along a longitudinal direction of the body; and

a support unit disposed on a bottom surface side of the cover unit to support a load of the cover unit, and including a plurality of support members respectively having a shape of a slice, the plurality of support members being spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the cover unit,

wherein each of the plurality of support members includes a central portion having an attachment surface adjacent to a bottom surface of the body of the cover unit, and a pair of coupling protrusions protruded from both side surfaces of the central portion and coupled to the side surface protrusion group of the cover unit.

2. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 1 ,

wherein both the cover unit and the support unit are made of a resin material, and a rigidity of the support unit is greater than that of the cover unit.

3. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 2 ,

wherein the cover unit contains a TPE resin, and the support unit contains an ABS resin.

4. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of side surface protrusions of the side surface protrusion group comprises:

a plurality of first side surface protrusions contacting a ceiling surface and a side surface of each of the guide grooves; and

a plurality of second side surface protrusions contacting a bottom surface and the side surface of each of the guide grooves.

5. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 4 ,

wherein each of the first side surface protrusions and each of the second side surface protrusions are alternately located in the longitudinal direction of the body.

6. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 4 ,

wherein at least two of the first side surface protrusions or at least two of the second side surface protrusions are symmetrical to each other.

7. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 4 ,

wherein each of the first side surface protrusions or each of the second side surface protrusions has an installation hole into which a coupling protrusion of the respective support member is fitted in a width direction of the body.

8. The cover for the cup holder device for the vehicle of claim 7 ,

wherein each of the first side surface protrusions or each of the second side surface protrusions has a stepped portion on which an end portion of the coupling protrusion hits an inside surface of the installation hole.
