An auxiliary housing portion 11c for housing a can or the like is integrally formed at the front end portion of the main body 11a, and mounting holes 11e are formed on the left and right sides of the bottom portion 11d of the auxiliary housing portion 11c as shown in FIG. Has been done. The main body 11
A mounting pedestal 11f is integrally formed at the rear end of the bottom of a so as to be recessed downward, and a mounting hole 11g is formed at the center thereof. Screws 1 are provided in the mounting holes 11e and 11g.
3, 14 are inserted and screwed into the screw holes formed in the body frame F.

As shown in FIG. 4, locking holes 11h for locking elastically deformable locking claws 12c integrally formed on the rear cover 12 are formed at a plurality of positions on the mating surface 11b of the main body 11a. Has been done. A bracket 11i is integrally formed near the upper end of the mating surface 11b as a fitting portion having a horizontal L-shaped cross section. This bracket 1
A plate-like portion 12d on the upper side of the rear cover 12 is supported on the upper surface of 1i. The bracket 11i is formed with a plurality of locking holes 11j for locking the two locking claws 12e formed on the plate portion 12d. The bracket 11i is formed with a plurality of through holes 11k through which the arm 16 insert-molded at the base end portion of the lid 15 is loosely penetrated in the vertical direction.
The plate-shaped portion 12d is provided with a plurality of cutout recesses 12f so as to correspond to the through holes 11k in the vertical direction.
A pair of left and right bearing portions 11l having a through hole 11m are integrally formed on the lower surface of the bracket 11i so as to correspond to the left and right side edges of the through hole 11k.

As shown in FIG. 5, the arm 16 inserted downward from the cutout recess 12f and the through hole 11k is reciprocated in the front-rear direction at a predetermined position by the connecting pin 17 in the pair of left and right bearings 11l. It is rotatably connected. Reinforcing ribs 12g are integrally formed on the inner surface of the rear cover 12 in parallel with each other in the vertical direction.

The auxiliary housing portion 11c of the main body 11a has an opening 11n and a window hole 11o. As shown in FIG. 3, reinforcing ribs 11p are integrally formed on the inner wall surface of the auxiliary accommodating portion 11c in parallel with each other in the upper and lower stages, and reinforcing ribs 11q are integrally formed on the upper and lower surfaces thereof. Has been formed.

According to the console box 11, when the lid body 15 is rotated clockwise around the connecting pin 17 in the closed state of the lid body 15 shown in FIG.
5 is open. When the lid body 15 is rotated counterclockwise from this open state, the lid body 15 is closed.

According to the console box of the above embodiment, the following features can be obtained. (1) In the above embodiment, the bracket 11i and the bearing 11l are integrally formed on the rear end surface of the main body 11a, and the arm 16 connected to the lid 15 is rotatably connected by the connecting pin 17. Therefore, the hinge mechanism of the lid 15 can be simplified, the number of parts can be reduced, the manufacturing and assembling work can be easily performed, and the cost can be reduced.

(2) In the above embodiment, the bracket 12a is integrally formed with the lower end of the rear cover 12, and the mounting base 11f and the bracket 12a provided at the rear end of the bottom of the bracket 12a and the main body 11a. Were fastened together with screws 14. Therefore, the mounting rigidity of the main body 11a and the rear cover 12 to the vehicle body frame F can be improved, and the supporting rigidity of the lid body 15 can be increased.

(3) In the above embodiment, the auxiliary containing portion 11
The mounting hole 11e is formed in the bottom portion 11d of the c, and the auxiliary accommodation portion 1
Since the reinforcing rib 11p and the mounting hole 11g are integrally formed inside 1c, the mounting rigidity of the auxiliary housing portion 11c can be increased. Therefore, the lid 15 mounted on the main body 11a can be stably supported, and the opening / closing operation can be stably performed.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows. Although not shown, the lid 15 is slidably attached to the arm 16 so that the lid 15 can be rotated in the closing direction about the connecting pin 17 after the lid 15 is pulled up in the open state. You may comprise.

Although not shown, a through hole similar to the through hole 11k may be formed instead of the cutout recess 12f of the rear cover 12. In this case, since the arm 16 is connected by the connecting pin 17 after attaching the rear cover 12 to the main body 11a, it is necessary to form an insertion hole for inserting the connecting pin 17 into the rear cover 12 from the outside.
