  These upper and lower support protrusions 16e, 16e and 17e, 17e are formed so as to be substantially symmetric with respect to the upper push-open door member 16 and the lower push-open door member 17, respectively. Even when the machine 12 is inserted upside down and stored, the upper and lower outer surfaces 12h, 12i are substantially the same as the lower and upper support protrusions 17e, 17e and 16e, 16e. 12 is supported at the upper and lower four points so as to be sandwiched from above and below.

  For this reason, when the remote control portable device 12 is housed in the housing recess 14 upside down, the remote control portable device 12 is held in the housing recess 14 without being rattled by the vibration of the vehicle.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the position of the upper and lower support projections 16e and 17e formed on the vehicle interior side surfaces 16d and 17d of the upper and lower push-open door members 16 and 17 is determined by the remote control portable device 12. In the inserted state, the remote control portable device 12 is configured to abut on the vicinity of the substantially central position in the insertion direction.

  Therefore, even if the remote controller portable device 12 is inserted into the storage recess 14 only in approximately half, even if it is in a completely loaded state, it can be stably loaded.

  For this reason, it is possible to improve the detachability by using the remote controller portable device 12 loaded so that the remaining approximately half that is not inserted is positioned outside the storage recess 14.

  In this embodiment, the upper and lower push-open door members 16 and 17 are set to a height of about ½ dimension in the upper and lower directions of the vehicle interior side opening 15, so that FIG. Even in the state of being flipped up as shown in FIG. 4, the positions of the upper and lower support projections 16e and 17e can be set so as to remain in the vicinity of the vehicle interior side opening 15.

  For this reason, for example, as compared with a configuration in which opening and closing is performed with a single push-open door member, the position where the upper and lower support protrusions 16e and 17e are brought into contact with the remote control portable device 12 is close to the vehicle interior 9, Since the remote control portable device 12 can be set and can be supported stably, it is suitable for use in a configuration in which the remote controller portable device 12 is in a completely loaded state by being inserted into the storage recess 14 only about half.

  Although the best embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are possible. Are included in the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment, the shape of the outer surface 12a of the remote control portable device 12 is configured by the arc-shaped one side surface 2h and the planar other side surface 12i. If the left and right paired upper and lower support protrusions 16e, 16e and 17e, 17e formed on the vehicle interior side surfaces 16d, 17d of the lower push-open door members 16, 17 are in contact with each other, The surface may have any shape such as an arc shape having a different curvature radius.
