The side wall portion 42 includes a left and right direction side wall portion 42 a that rises upward from both lateral ends of the lower wall portion 41 in the vehicle and a front side wall portion 42 b that rises upward from the vehicle front side end of the lower wall portion 41.
The shape of the vehicle rear side end (vehicle compartment side end) of the left-right direction side wall portion 42 a is the same as or substantially the same as the vehicle rear side end of the side wall 22 of the fixing member 20. A guide protrusion 42c movable along the guide rail 23 is provided at the upper end portion of the left and right side wall portion 42a or in the vicinity thereof. The guide protrusion 42c may be provided so as to extend linearly in the vehicle front-rear direction, but preferably includes a plurality of protrusions in order to reduce sliding resistance with the guide rail 23. As the guide protrusion 42 c moves along the guide rail 23, the inner box 40 can slide in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the fixing member 20.

The interlocking mechanism 50 has an arm 51 that extends from the door 30 into the recess 21 and has a protrusion 52 provided at the front end in the direction, and a long groove 53 that is provided in the inner box 40 and into which the protrusion 52 at the front end of the arm 51 enters.
The arm 51 is provided to extend forward from the left and right ends of the back surface of the door 30 in the closed state. Since the arm 51 extends from the back surface of the door 30 to the front of the vehicle, it is possible to prevent the stored item A1 from falling down when the stored item A1 comes out of the recess 21.
The arm 51 may be formed integrally with the door 30 or may be formed separately from the door 30 and fixedly attached to the door 30. Since the arm 51 is formed integrally with the door 30 or is fixed to the door 30, when the door 30 is rotated around the rotation center P of the door 30 with respect to the fixing member 20 (when opening and closing), the arm 51 is also It rotates around the rotation center P, and the protrusion 52 also moves around the rotation center P.
The long groove 53 is provided in the left-right direction side wall part 42 a of the inner box 40. The long groove 53 is provided so as to extend linearly in the vertical direction at or near the vehicle front side end portion of the left and right side wall portion 42a. However, the shape of the long groove 53 is not limited to a linear shape as long as it extends in a shape other than the arc shape centered on the rotation center P of the door 30.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
When the door 30 is in the closed position, the door 30 closes the opening 21a of the recess 21 as shown in FIG. The inner box 40 is located at the storage position 40b. The protrusion 52 of the interlocking mechanism 50 is located at the lower end of the long groove 53 or in the vicinity thereof.
When the door 30 in the closed position is opened, as shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 52 rotates around the rotation center P of the door 30, so that the inner box 40 protrudes from the storage position 40b by the protrusion 52 entering the long groove 53. Move to the 40a side.
When the door 30 is in the open position, the door 30 opens the opening 21a of the recess 21 as shown in FIG. The inner box 40 is located at the protruding position 40a. The protrusion 52 is located at or near the upper end of the long groove 53.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Since the inner box 40 is supported by the fixing member 20, even if the stored item A1 is placed in the inner box 40, the weight of the stored item A1 is not directly applied to the door 30. Therefore, compared with the conventional bin type, the door 30 can be closed with a light force, and the closing operability of the door 30 is improved. Further, by adjusting the distance between the rotation center P of the door 30 and the point at which the door 30 is pressed when the door 30 is closed and the distance between the rotation center P and the protrusion 52, the door 30 can be moved with a lighter force. The door 30 can be closed, and the operability of closing the door 30 is improved.

Since the inner box 40 is slidably supported by the fixing member 20 at the protruding position 40a and the storage position 40b and has the interlocking mechanism 50, when the door 30 is opened, the inner box 40 is moved from the storage position 40b by the interlocking mechanism 50. It can be slid to the protruding position 40a. As a result, when the door 30 is opened, the distance from the driver's seat to the stored item A1 becomes shorter than the conventional door type.
Since the door 30 is rotatably supported by the fixing member 20, the door 30 is not occupant even when the inner box 40 is located at the protruding position 40 a compared to the case where the door 30 is supported by the inner box 40. It can prevent the knee space from being pressed or hitting the occupant's knee.

Since at least the vehicle rear side end portion of the lower wall 41 of the inner box 40 can be bent in the vertical direction, even if the lower wall 41 hits the door 30 when the inner box 40 slides with respect to the fixing member 20 (riding) However, the portion that can be bent changes to a shape that follows the shape of the back surface of the door 30. Therefore, even if the lower wall 41 hits the door 30, the door 30 can be opened and closed and the inner box 40 can be slid without the lower wall 41 stretching.
Since the interlocking mechanism 50 includes the arm 51 provided with the protrusions 52 and the long groove 53, the inner box 40 can be slid relative to the fixing member 20 in conjunction with the rotation operation of the door 30 with a simple structure. it can.
Since the long groove 53 extends linearly in a direction orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction of the inner box 40, the sliding amount of the inner box 20 interlocked with the rotation operation of the door 30 can be increased.

When the door 30 is opened, the inner box 40 is in the protruding position 40a, so that it is possible to approach the stored item A1 not only from the rear of the vehicle but also obliquely from above, and the stored item in the first storage unit 21b. A1 can be taken in and out easily. In addition, since the approach to the stored item A1 from obliquely above is possible, if the stored item A1 is a tissue box, there is no clearance in the storage unit for removing the tissue in the past, and the tissue box is once taken out. However, the tissue can be pulled out with the tissue box remaining in the inner box 40.
Since the stored item A2 can be stored in the second storage unit 21c, an infrequently used item such as an owner's manual can be stored in the second storage unit 21c. As a result, when the door 30 is opened / closed and the inner box 40 is slid, a load of stored items that are not frequently used is not applied.
