Abstract
A crash pad of a vehicle includes at least one tray including at least one groove on a lateral surface and a multi-purpose box detachably mounted to at least one tray. The multi-purpose box includes a handle, a motion switch device that switches a rotational motion of the handle to a linear motion, and a first protrusion portion configured to (i) protrude to an outer side of the multi-purpose box to couple to the groove and (ii) move to an inside of the multi-purpose box based on the handle being rotated by the motion switch device.
Claims15
A crash pad for a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one tray having a lateral surface that defines at least one groove;
- and
- a box detachably mounted to the at least one tray,
- wherein the box comprises:
- a handle,
- a motion switch device configured to switch a rotational motion of the handle to a linear motion, and
- a first protrusion portion configured to (i) protrude to an outer side of the box and engage with the at least one groove and (ii) move to an inside of the box based on the handle being rotated by the motion switch device,
- wherein the handle comprises:
- a first shaft that extends in a first direction and defines a rotational axis of the handle, and
- a second shaft that is parallel to the first shaft and is linked with the first shaft, the second shaft being configured to rotate together with the handle based on rotation of the handle,
- wherein the motion switch device comprises:
- a link rod connected to the second shaft and configured to perform a linear motion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction based on a rotational motion of the second shaft, the link rod comprising a guide portion that protrudes from an inner lateral surface and defines a first inclined surface inclined at a preset angle with respect to the first direction,
- a link having (i) a first end located inside the link rod, (ii) an extending portion that extends from the first end of the link, and (iii) a second end that defines the first protrusion portion at an end of the extending portion, and
- a spring that is disposed inside the link rod and configured to push the first end of the link in a direction toward the extending portion,
- wherein the link rod comprises a hinge portion that defines a cross-section curved in a U shape and accommodates the second shaft therein, and
- wherein the second shaft is configured to move in the hinge portion in a third direction perpendicular to both of the first direction and the second direction based on the handle rotating and moving the link rod in the second direction.
