Abstract

A storage device arranged in a control panel (1) of a motor vehicle, with a drawer (5) retractable and retractable in the control panel (1), characterized by a combination of the drawer (5) with a glove compartment cover (4) covering a glove box (2) ) in such a way that in the closed position of the drawer (5) this flush with the glove box lid (4) connects.

Description

The invention relates to a storage device in a control panel of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

As a storage device in a control panel of a motor vehicle, a glove box is generally known, which can be closed by a fold-down forward and down in the vehicle interior glove box lid. In known, concrete embodiments, the opening angle of the glove compartment cover is limited downwards by stops or tethers, (see, for example, DE-book: Volkswagen AG (ed.): Polo operating instructions Polo German 5.97.7 981.551.6NO. 00.1997)

Such a glove box is a relatively large and deep in the panel extending receptacle, which is commonly used for storing a variety of smaller and larger items, such as writing utensils, vehicle documents, sunglasses, gloves, etc. By the vehicle movements while driving wander these items in the glove compartment and it store especially smaller items far back down, so that they are difficult to find if necessary, possibly even a part of the glove compartment must be cleared in the search.

In a specific, known embodiment of such a glove box ( DE 34 32 739 A1 ), the above situation is to be improved by dividing the glove compartment into a large-volume lower compartment and an overlying, less deep and flat second compartment. Again, however, is the narrow subject area in the panel and is therefore neither optimally visible nor can be taken in it, small items taken out easily.

In a further known embodiment of a glove box whose glove compartment cover is made of two layers. The outer layer is designed as a hinged tray, which can be folded down in the vehicle interior in the closed state of the glove compartment lid. Such a tray is only suitable in the folded state for storing objects, but can not receive objects in the folded state.

In addition, a storage compartment in the region of a center tunnel console is known, whose upwardly pivotable cover is designed as a receiving compartment for a telephone handset. The telephone receiver can be pulled out of this cover on a sliding part. A universal and ergonomic use of such a lid for receiving other items is only partially possible.

In a further embodiment, a storage device is shown which is designed as a drawer which can be pushed into and pushed out of the dashboard of a motor vehicle ( US 2,796,310 ). In further embodiments cupholders are known as receiving devices, which in the extended state z. B. cans, cups or the like can absorb.

From the generic US 26 57 967 A an insertable in a mounting opening of an instrument panel glove box is known which can be closed by means of a glove box lid. Below the glove box lid, the instrument panel in its lower edge on a horizontal flange to which a drawer device is mounted.

Object of the invention is in contrast to further develop a generic storage device in a control panel of a motor vehicle so that a readily accessible storage space is created, which is also useful in the function of a tablet and has an attractive appearance.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

According to claim 1, the storage device is designed as a drawer and held in the dash panel and pushed out. Due to the pull-out of the drawer, its content can be conveniently and clearly viewed, so that there recorded items are easy to find and easily removable. In addition, such a drawer can be used in the extended state as a shelf in the manner of a tray, for example as a countertop.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a push-button locking device or an actuatable locking device is attached to the drawer and / or in the insertion region of the control panel, with which the drawer can be fixed in the closed position. In a further development, it is expedient to allow a fixation in the maximum open position and for a universal use in intermediate opening positions. By such Arretierungsmöglichkeiten the drawer is particularly secured when driving against Zwangsrelativbewegungen with respect to the panel.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the drawer and / or Ausschubbereich the switch panel is a detachable pull-out against an undressing beyond a maximum open position attached. Thus, on the one hand the drawer is secured against accidental falling out of the insertion area of the panel, but can be completely pulled out by the solvability of the pull-out as needed and, for example, taken out of the vehicle or cleaned.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the drawer is a flat drawer under an overlying, larger-scale, non-extendable and covered by a glove box lid glove box. Thus, the available in itself for a glove box space in the control panel is divided into two, the larger volume, non-extendable glove compartment part are particularly well suited for receiving larger items and the flat drawer part for receiving smaller utensils.

For a particularly appealing appearance of an arrangement according to the invention include in the retracted state of the drawer and in the closed state of the glove compartment part whose glove compartment cover and the front drawer wall as a drawer bar flush to each other, so that in this area a continuous panel wall is formed. The front drawer strip should preferably be employed obliquely downwards behind, so that thereby an ergonomically favorable for an occupant transition from the panel to the footwell is created.

Reference to a drawing, the invention is explained in detail.

Show it:

1 a schematic cross section through a dash panel of a motor vehicle with a drawer in a closed position,

2 a schematic cross section through the panel of the 1 with a drawer in an open position, and

3 a schematic, perspective view of a drawer in a control panel of a motor vehicle in the partially open state.

In the 1 is a schematic cross section through a control panel 1 a motor vehicle shown. This switchboard 1 includes a glove box 2 That with a glove box lid 4 is closable. This glove box lid 4 is out of the 1 to 3 shown closed position to the front and down in the vehicle interior hinged, which is not shown here.

Like this from the 1 to 3 It can be seen further below the glove box 2 a drawer 5 arranged as a storage device. This drawer 5 can in the control panel 1 pushed in and pushed out.

In the presentation of the 1 is the drawer 5 completely in the control panel 1 inserted and is in its closed position 6 , In the presentation of the 2 as well as in the representation of 3 is the drawer 5 in the partially extended state in its open position 7 shown.

The drawer 5 includes a sloping down the back Employed drawer rail 8th in the closed position 6 the drawer 5 at the bottom of the glove box lid 4 flush connects. This will, as is clear from the presentation of 1 it can be seen, a visually appealing continuous panel wall 1 educated.

To the drawer 5 in the in the 1 illustrated closed position 6 , in the open position 7 or if necessary to fix in an intermediate position, is at the drawer 5 and / or in the insertion area of the control panel 1 mounted a überdrückbare locking device, which is not shown here.

Next is at the drawer 5 and / or in the Ausschubbereich the panel 1 a detachable pull-out protection, also not shown here, against being pulled out beyond a maximum open position.

For use of the drawer 5 From the passenger, these can be easily and conveniently made in the 1 illustrated closed position 6 be transferred to their open position, so that in the drawer 5 Items can either be stowed or taken from there. In the extended state of the drawer 5 their content can be clearly seen, so that items are easy to find and easy to remove.

In a further mode of use, such a drawer in the extended state can also be used in the manner of a tray, in which case objects can then be placed or set down on it.
