The USB connector 80 connected to 91 is arranged so as to be located outside both ends in the width direction. For this reason, when the USB connector 80 is connected to the connection terminal 91 with the lid 40 opened, the lid 40 is connected to the USB connector 80 by a repulsive force that causes the bent hinge 41 to return to its original shape. The USB connector 80 is positioned between the pair of lid locking pieces 43 while covering from above. For this reason, even if the lid portion 40 vibrates as the vehicle vibrates, the vibration of the lid portion 40 is restricted by the USB connector 80 via the rear surface of the lid portion 40 and the pair of lid locking pieces 43. Therefore, it is possible to suppress abnormal noise generated when the lid 40 collides with the USB connector 80.

  Note that the pair of lid locking pieces 43 may be disposed so as to come into contact with both ends in the width direction of the USB connector 80 with the lid 40 opened. In this way, it is possible to further suppress abnormal noise that occurs when the lid 40 collides with the USB connector 80.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention. For example, the various embodiments described above may be combined as appropriate.
