To suppress the rattling of a holding unit more in a state that a charge connector is inserted into the holding unit so that the holding unit is rotated than a state that a charge connector is not inserted into the holding unit.SOLUTION: A vehicle charge connector holding device includes a connector housing part 2 which accommodates the charge connector which supplies power when connected to a vehicle. The connector housing part includes a holding part 10 which holds a charge connector and a case part 20 which is axially supported by the holding part. The holding unit which is rotatable at least in the vertical direction is configured to have a narrower gap between a restriction part provided on the case part and a restriction part provided on the holding part after the charge connector is connected to the holding part and the holding part moves, as compared to a state when the charge connector is not connected to the holding part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13
【課題】保持部に充電コネクタを挿入していない状態よりも保持部に充電コネクタを挿入し、保持部が回転した状態の方が、保持部のガタツキを抑制できるようにすること。【解決手段】車両に接続されることで電力を供給する充電コネクタを収納するコネクタ収納部2を備えた車両用充電コネクタ保持装置であって、コネクタ収納部は、充電コネクタを保持する保持部10と、保持部に軸支されるケース部20を備え、少なくとも上下方向に回転可能な保持部は、充電コネクタを接続した際に開口部側が下方に移動するよう回転可能であって、充電コネクタが保持部に接続されていない状態よりも、充電コネクタが保持部に接続されて保持部が移動した後の方が、ケース部に設けた規制部と保持部に設けた規制部の隙間が狭くなる構成とする。【選択図】図13
