Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box for a vehicle such as a glove box incorporated in an instrument panel of an automobile.

  Conventionally, it has been proposed to hold a boxed tissue product on the back of a lid that opens and closes an opening of a vehicular storage box such as a glove box (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this prior art, the tissue holder in which the tissue extraction opening is formed receives a biasing force toward the back surface of the lid, so that the boxed tissue product is sandwiched between the tissue holder and the back surface of the lid.

According to this conventional glove box structure, tissue paper can be pulled out from the tissue outlet of the tissue holder by opening the lid of the glove box, and the height of the box of the tissue product to be sandwiched is large or small. Therefore, the tissue product can be reliably held between the back surface of the lid and the tissue holder that receives the biasing force to the back surface of the lid.
JP 2003-267144 A (page 3-4, FIG. 4)

  However, in the conventional glove box structure, the tissue holder cannot be removed from the lid. Therefore, even when a tissue holder that does not hold a tissue product in a box with a tissue holder is not used, this tissue holder occupies a part of the storage space in the glove box. The volume of the storage space could not be used effectively. Since the tissue holder has a tissue extraction opening, the space defined by the tissue holder on the back of the lid can be diverted to a storage space for other small items smaller than the extraction opening of the tissue holder. I couldn't.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular storage box that can more effectively use the storage volume of the storage box.

  The present invention provides a box body that defines a storage space that is open at one end, a lid that opens and closes the opening of the box body, a tissue product in a box is held on the back of the lid, and tissue tissue inside the tissue product box is removed from the box. And an inner lid formed with a tissue extraction opening that can be pulled out, and the inner lid is removably pivotally attached to the lid.

  According to the storage box of the present invention, the tissue extraction opening is formed, and the inner lid for holding the boxed tissue product on the back side of the lid is pivotally attached to the lid so that the inner lid is boxed. When not used as a tissue product holder, by removing it from the lid, an unnecessary inner lid can be removed from the storage space of the storage box, so that the storage space in the storage box can be used widely. it can.

  In addition, instead of the inner lid with the tissue extraction opening formed, the other storage lid that is not formed with an opening is pivotally attached to the lid, so that the storage space used as a conventional tissue product dedicated space on the back side of the lid is used. Is defined by the inner lid having no opening, the tissue product storage space can be diverted to the accessory storage space, and versatility is imparted to the tissue product storage space.

  In order to removably pivot the inner lid on the lid, a pivot is formed at the edge of the lid, and the inner lid extends from the inner lid toward the pivot to clamp the lid pivot together. A pair of clamping parts can be formed. Such a clamping part can be formed by resin molding integrally with an inner lid made of, for example, a synthetic resin material.

  In the vicinity of the holding portion, an engagement portion that can be locked to the lid in a holding posture of the tissue product can be provided on the inner lid. This engaging portion prevents the inner lid from falling off from the lid by locking the inner lid to the edge of the lid even if the clamping portion loses the function of clamping the pivot shaft due to its loss. Therefore, by providing the engaging portion described above, the inner lid can be used even when the clamping portion is missing.

  According to the present invention, as described above, when the inner lid is not used as the holder of the boxed tissue product, it can be removed from the storage space of the storage box by removing the unnecessary inner lid from the lid. Accordingly, the storage space in the storage box can be widely used.

  In addition, by pivotally attaching the other inner lid where the tissue extraction opening is not formed to the lid, the storage space used as a conventional tissue product dedicated space on the back side of the lid can be diverted to the accessory storage space, Expands the use of storage space for tissue products.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 10 according to the present invention includes a box body 12 that defines a storage space 11 that is open at one end, and a lid 14 that opens and closes an opening 13 of the box body. The storage box 10 is provided as a glove box, for example, on a passenger seat side portion of an instrument panel (not shown) extending from the front of the driver's seat to the front of the front passenger seat.

  In the illustrated example, the lid 14 is a lid having a lower opening that is rotatably supported by the upper edge around a horizontal pivot (not shown) provided at the upper edge of the box body 12. In order to releasably hold the lid 14 in the open position shown in FIG. 1, a positioning mechanism such as a well-known rotary click mechanism (not shown) is incorporated in relation to the horizontal pivot. According to this click mechanism, when the lid 14 is opened, the lid 14 can be operated to the open position shown in the drawing with an appropriate sense of moderation and held at the open position. Further, the lid 14 in the open position can be operated toward the closed position of the opening 13 with a moderate operation.

  A lock mechanism 15 is provided at the lower edge of the opening 13 of the box body 12. As is well known in the art, the locking mechanism 15 receives a hook (not shown) provided on the front edge of the back surface of the lid 14, thereby locking the lid 14 in the closed position. The locking function can be released by 15 operation.

  A rectangular recess 17 is formed on the back surface of the lid 14 to receive the boxed tissue product 16 (see FIG. 2) from the bottom opposite to the surface where the tissue outlet 16a is provided. Further, an inner lid 18 made of a synthetic resin material is pivotally attached to the lid 14 to hold the boxed tissue product 16 housed in the recess 17 from the surface provided with the tissue outlet 16a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inner lid 18 has a rectangular flat portion 18a covering the entire surface of the boxed tissue product 16 provided with the tissue outlet 16a, and the tissue outlet 16a is exposed on the flat portion 18a. A sufficient tissue extraction opening 19 is formed. Further, in the illustrated example, a pair of side wall portions 18 b and 18 b rising from both sides of the flat portion along the both side surfaces of the boxed tissue product 16 are integrally formed on the flat portion 18 a of the inner lid 18.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the inner edge of the inner lid 18, that is, the inner edge of the flat portion 18 a, is spaced from each other along the edge and is pivotally attached to the edge of the lid 14. Pivoting portions 20 are formed, and overhang portions 21 projecting outward from the edge of the flat portion 18a in the vicinity of each pivoting portion 20 are formed integrally with the inner lid 18, respectively. On the other hand, a U-shaped elastically deformable hook 22 having a hook portion 22a that can be locked to a locking portion (not shown) provided on the back surface of the lid 14 is provided on the outer edge of the flat surface portion 18a. It has been.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a folded edge 14 a is formed on the back surface of the lid 14, and the folded edge corresponds to each pivot attachment portion 20 and the overhang portion 21, and the pivot axis. 23 and a notch edge 24 are formed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, each pivoting portion 20 of the inner lid 18 includes a semicircular arc portion 20a that joints with each other from the inner edge of the plane portion 18a and surrounds the pivot 23 from both sides thereof, and a tip of the arc portion. And a pair of sandwiching portions each having a widened portion 20b that allows interruption of the pivot 23 between them. Each pivot part, that is, each clamping part 20, is integrally molded with the inner lid 18, and has elasticity. The corresponding pivot shaft 23 formed on the lid 14 can be elastically overcome and interrupted between the arc portions 20a from the pair of expanded portions 20b of each clamping portion 20 formed on the inner lid 18. By this interruption insertion, the inner lid 18 can be pivotally attached to the lid 14. When the inner lid 18 is pivotally attached, the inner lid 18 holds the vertical posture shown by the phantom line in FIG. 3 and the boxed tissue product 16. It can be swung between a holding posture indicated by a solid line.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the overhanging portion 21 formed on the inner lid 18 extends from the edge of the inner lid 18 onto the folded edge 14 a when the inner lid 18 is in the holding posture of the boxed tissue product 16. Thus, the tip of the overhang portion 21 is locked to the folded edge portion 14a. The overhanging portion 21 does not prevent swinging between the holding posture of the inner lid 18 and the vertical posture shown by the phantom line in FIG.

  In the holding posture of the boxed tissue product 16, the inner lid 18 pivotally attached to the lid 14 by the clamping portion 20 includes the clamping portion 20 and the overhang portion 21 formed on the inner edge thereof, respectively, the pivot 23 and the notch of the lid 14. Since the hook 22 formed on the outer edge engages with the edge 24 and engages with the engaging portion of the lid 14, the tissue outlet 16 a of the boxed tissue product 16 is connected to the tissue outlet 19 of the inner lid 18. Correspondingly, it is securely held on the back surface of the lid 14. Therefore, by opening the lid 14, tissue paper can be taken out from the inside of the box of the boxed tissue product 16 through the tissue taking-out opening 19 of the inner lid 18.

  When the inner lid 18 is unnecessary, the inner lid 18 can be removed from the lid 14 by pulling out the holding portion 20 of the inner lid 18 from the pivot 23 of the lid 14. In this detachment, since the pivot 23 pushes the holding portion 20 having elasticity, it can be removed relatively simply by simply pulling the inner lid 18 forward. Further, as described above, the removed inner lid 18 can be easily attached to the lid 14 by the interruption operation of the pivot 23 to the holding part 20.

  For example, even if the inner lid 18 is removed from the lid 14 or attached to the lid 14 as described above, the protruding portion 21 formed on the inner edge of the inner lid 18 can be The inner lid 18 is held in the holding posture of the boxed tissue product 16 in cooperation with the hook 22 formed on the outer edge of the box 18. Therefore, even when the holding part 20 is missing, the inner lid 18 can be reliably held in the holding posture of the boxed tissue product 16 and can be used as a holder for the boxed tissue product 16.

  Further, since the inner lid 18 is detachable, other inner lids provided with the sandwiching portion 20, the overhanging portion 21 and the hook 22 similar to those described above can be used, thereby making it possible to mutually design. The inner lid can be replaced with the same inner lid as described above.

  Further, by using an inner lid that does not have the tissue extraction opening 19 as the inner lid 18, it is possible to define an accessory chamber closed on the back surface of the lid 14 between the inner lid and the recess 17 of the lid 14. The back space of the lid 14 can be used as an accessory storage space smaller than the tissue extraction opening 19 other than the boxed tissue product 16. Examples of the small items stored in the small item storage space include a recording medium such as a CD or MO, sunglasses, a folding umbrella, an emergency set, or cards.
