While the cup holder 11 is in use, the box 8 and the contents stored in the box 8 are rapidly accelerated.
Although an attempt is made to move to the rear of the vehicle due to vehicle vibration or the like, there is an effect that such movement can be reliably prevented by the movement restricting means (see the protrusion 42).

Moreover, the above-mentioned moving means is set as a sliding means (see the guide rail 40) for sliding the box 8 in the front-rear direction, and the above-mentioned movement restricting means (see the projection 42) is attached to the box 8. Since it is configured to release the movement restriction by applying a predetermined load to the rear side of the vehicle, the box 8 is stored in the storage position (see FIG. 15) and the storage item is extracted from the storage position (see FIG. 17).
There is an effect that the items stored in the box 8 can be used by sliding them back and forth.

In this embodiment, the same operation and effects as the previous embodiment are achieved in other points as well, so that in FIGS. 15 to 17, the same parts as those in the previous drawings are designated by the same reference numerals. And its detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 18 shows a further embodiment of the article storage portion of the vehicle. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 18 (the embodiment corresponding to claim 6), the two projections 42, shown in FIG.
Instead of 43, leaf springs 44 and 45 are used.

That is, the mounting hole 4 is formed in each spring mounting portion.
6, 47 are opened, the leaf springs 44, 45 described above are disposed in the respective mounting holes 46, 47, and the springs 44, 45 are fixed to the bottom surface of the guide rail 40. Even if configured in this manner, substantially the same operation and effect as those of the previous embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 to 17 can be obtained. Therefore, in FIG. The description is omitted.
