  As shown in FIG. 7, the hop-up operation member 30 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 17 formed on the back surface of the lid body 10 in the open position at the home position, and the second latch device. As shown in FIG. 9, by releasing the lock 42, the cover body is rotated by the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 33 in the same direction (clockwise direction) as the closing direction of the cover body 10. 10 is moved to the middle position of closing the lid.

  The rotation of the hop-up operation member 30 in the clockwise direction by the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 33 causes the hop-up operation member engaged with the cam opening 18 formed in the arm portion 11 of the lid 10. The engagement pin 35 fixed to 30 is stopped by engaging with the corner 18 </ b> A of the cam opening 18. As a result, the midway position of the lid 10 is determined.

  The cam opening 18 hops up under the engagement with the engagement pin 35 by the clockwise rotation of the lid body 10 in the process of moving the lid body 10 from the middle position of the lid to the closed position. A return cam-shaped portion 18B that returns the operating member 30 to the home position against the spring force of the hop-up operating spring 33 is provided.

  Next, the opening / closing operation of the lid 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the lid 10 is aligned with the through-opening 102 of the decorative panel 101 in a substantially horizontal position and closed in a flat surface state. It is located at a closed position that closes the opening 21.

  When the portion 10A of the lid 10 in the closed position is lightly pressed with a fingertip, the lid 10 rotates slightly in the clockwise direction against the spring force of the lid opening spring 24, and the lid by the first latch device 41 The locking of the body 10 is released. When the fingertip is released from the lid body 10, the lid body 10 is rotated counterclockwise around the central axis of the pin shaft 23 by the spring force of the lid opening spring 24.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, this rotation is displaced by about 90 degrees counterclockwise from the closed position by the spring force of the lid opening spring 24, and the rear side of the container body 20. This is performed until the lid 10 is positioned in the open position in the vertical posture at the position (left side in the figure). In this state, the engagement protrusion 17 of the lid 10 contacts the hop-up operation member 30 at the home position.

  The lid body 10 is entirely stored below the decorative panel 101 in this open position. Then, the upper surface complementary flapper 15 assumes a substantially horizontal posture at a position above the inclined upper surface 24A and presents a horizontal upper surface that is continuous with the horizontal upper surface 24B of the container body 20.

  Thereby, since the cover body 10 does not protrude upward from the decorative panel 101 at the open position, the take-out property of a beverage can and the like with respect to the storage unit 25 is improved, and the design property is improved in a flat surface state.

  Furthermore, since the upper surface complementary flapper 15 having a substantially horizontal posture has a horizontal upper surface continuous with the horizontal upper surface 24B of the container body 20, the appearance is improved and the holdability of the beverage can in the storage unit 25 is improved. Further, the upper surface complementary flapper 15 can be replaced with a can diameter allowance.

  When the lid 10 is returned from the open position to the closed position, first, the pushing portion 13 of the lid 10 is slightly pushed downward by the fingertip. Then, the movement is transmitted to the hop-up operation member 30, and the hop-up operation member 30 is slightly rotated counterclockwise, whereby the hop-up operation member 30 is unlocked by the second latch device 42. Is done.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the hop-up operation member 30 rotates in the clockwise direction around the central axis of the pin shaft 26, and accordingly, the lid body 10 moves around the central axis of the pin shaft 26. Rotate clockwise. This rotation is performed with the engagement pin 35 engaged with the corner portion 18A of the cam opening 18, and the portion 10A side of the lid 10 is positioned at the middle position of the lid where the hop-up is performed above the decorative panel 101.

  By this hop-up operation, the portion 10 </ b> A side of the lid 10 protrudes and exposes above the decorative panel 101, so that the lid 10 can be closed with the protruding exposure portion. This closing operation is performed by pushing the portion 10A side of the lid 10 in the middle of the lid with a fingertip, rotating the lid 10 in the clockwise direction against the spring force of the lid opening spring 33, Return to the original closed position.

  Thereby, as FIG. 2, FIG. 5 shows, the 1st latch apparatus 41 latches the cover body 10 in a closed position. In the process of moving the lid body 10 from the middle position of closing the lid to the closing position, the hop-up operation member 30 resists the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 33 by the engagement of the cam-shaped portion 18B and the engagement pin 35. Returning to the home position, the hop-up operation member 30 is locked at the home position by the second latch device 42.

  By these things, the closing / opening device of the lid body 10 has a good appearance and is excellent in both design and operability.

  Further, the opening operation of the lid body 10 from the closed position to the open position is automatically performed by the spring force of the lid opening spring 24 only by releasing the latch of the first latch device 41, and the lid body 10 is opened. The movement from the lid position to the halfway position of the lid is automatically performed by the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 33 only by releasing the latch of the second latch device 42, and the user closes the lid from the middle position of the lid. Since it is only necessary to move the lid 10 to the position, it is easy to use and has a good taste.

  In addition, since returning the lid 10 to the closed position is performed by a user's manual operation, it is possible to close a finger when the lid is closed as compared with a case where the lid is closed by a spring force only by a button operation. This reduces safety and improves safety.

  The opening / closing movement of the lid body 10 can be performed slowly and with a heavy feeling at a low speed by limiting the rotational speed of the lid body 10 using a rotary damper or the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 10, 12, 15, and 16, the lid 70 is aligned with the through-opening 52 of the upper plate 51 in a horizontal posture at the upper position of the container body 60, and 11, 17, and 18, the lid is closed at a position where the upper opening 65 is closed. As shown in FIGS. It is dynamically displaced so that it can be rotated between the position of the container body 60 and the open position in the vertical position at the rear position (left side in the figure).

  The lid body 70 complements the rear wall of the container body 60 at the open position in the vertical posture. Thereby, the container main body 60 cooperates with the cover body 70, and comprises the twin cylindrical bore-shaped storage part 66 so that two drink cans, a plastic bottle, etc. may be stored without falling.

  A lid opening spring 67 by a torsion spring is attached to the pin shaft 64 portion. The lid opening spring 67 is engaged with the container main body 60 and the lid body 70 and urges the lid body 70 in the counterclockwise direction, that is, in the lid opening direction.

  A first latch device 91 is attached to the container body 60 and the lid 70. The first latch device 91 releasably locks the lid body 70 in the closed position against the spring force of the lid opening spring 67.

  The first latch device 91 is a known heart cam type alternate latch mechanism that performs a push lock / push open operation. The first latch device 91 is provided on the heart cam portion 91A formed on the side wall 62 of the container body 60 and the arm portion 71 of the lid body 70. The pin holder 91B is formed. The first latch device 91 is pushed every time the pin holder 91B is engaged with the heart cam portion 91A by the clockwise rotation of the lid body 70, and repeatedly engages and disengages.

  A hop-up arm 80 is attached to the left and right sides of the case assembly 50 so as to be rotatable around a central axis (horizontal axis) parallel to the rotation axis of the lid 70. That is, the shaft hole 53 is formed in parallel with the pin shaft 64 on the left and right sides of the case assembly 50 integrated with the container body 60, and the pin shaft 81 formed on the hop-up arm 80 is rotated in the shaft hole 53. Fits freely. Here, the hop-up arm 80 rotates in the same direction as the opening / closing direction of the lid 70.

  A hop-up operation spring 82 by a torsion spring is attached to the pin shaft 81 portion. The hop-up operation spring 82 is engaged with the container body 20 and the hop-up arm 80 and urges in the same direction as the lid closing direction of the lid body 10, that is, in the clockwise direction.

  A second latch device 92 is attached to the case assembly 50 and the hop-up arm 80. The second latch device 92 releasably locks the hop-up arm 80 in a predetermined home position as shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 against the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 82.

  The second latch device 92 is a known heart cam type alternate latch mechanism that performs a push-lock / push-open operation. And a pin arm 92B attached to the. The second latch device 92 is pushed each time the heart cam portion 92A and the pin arm 92B are engaged by the counterclockwise rotation of the hop-up arm 80, and alternately repeats locking and unlocking.

  The hop-up arm 80 is engaged with the rib portion 73 of the lid 70 in the open position by the pin 83 in the home position, and the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 82 is released by the unlocking of the second latch device 92. Accordingly, the lid body 70 is rotated in the same direction (clockwise direction) as the lid closing direction of the lid body 70 to move the lid body 70 to the middle position of the lid closing.

  The rotation of the hop-up arm 80 in the clockwise direction by the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 82 is performed until the rib portion 84 of the hop-up arm 80 contacts the pin 74 provided on the arm portion 71 of the lid 70. Done. The midway position of the lid 70 is determined.

  Next, the opening / closing operation of the lid 70 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 10, 15, and 16, the lid 70 is aligned with the through-opening 52 of the upper plate 51 in a substantially horizontal posture and is closed in a flat surface state. It is located in the closed position that closes the upper opening 65 of 63.

  When the portion 70 </ b> A of the lid 70 in the closed position is lightly pressed with a fingertip, the lid 70 rotates slightly in the clockwise direction against the spring force of the lid opening spring 67, and the lid by the first latch device 91. The locking of the body 70 is released. When the fingertip is released from the lid body 70, the lid body 70 rotates counterclockwise around the central axis of the pin shaft 64 by the spring force of the lid opening spring 67.

  As shown in FIGS. 11, 17, and 18, this rotation is caused by a rotational displacement of approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise from the closed position by the spring force of the lid opening spring 67. This is performed until the lid 70 is positioned in the open position in the vertical posture at the rear position (left side in the figure). In this state, the entire lid 70 is housed below the upper plate 51 and forms the rear wall of the housing 66. Further, the rib portion 73 of the lid 70 abuts on the pin 83 of the hop-up arm 80 at the home position.

  Thereby, since the cover body 70 does not protrude above the upper plate 51 at the open position, the take-out property of a beverage can and the like with respect to the storage portion 66 is improved, and the design property is improved in a flat surface state.

  When the lid body 70 is returned from the open position to the closed position, first, the portion 70B of the lid body 70 is slightly pushed downward by the fingertip. Then, the movement is transmitted to the hop-up arm 80, and the hop-up arm 80 is slightly rotated counterclockwise, so that the hop-up arm 80 is unlocked by the second latch device 92.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the hop-up arm 80 rotates in the clockwise direction around the central axis of the pin shaft 81, and the lid body 70 is rotated along the central axis of the pin shaft 64. Rotate clockwise around. This rotation is performed until the rib portion 84 of the hop-up arm 80 comes into contact with the pin 74 of the lid member 70, and the portion 70 </ b> A side of the lid body 70 is positioned at the middle position of the lid where the hop-up is performed above the upper plate 51.

  By this hop-up operation, the portion 70 </ b> A side of the lid 70 protrudes above the upper plate 51, so that the lid 70 can be closed with the protruding exposure portion. In this closing operation, the portion 70A side of the lid 70 that is in the middle of the lid is pushed with the fingertip, the lid 70 is rotated in the clockwise direction against the spring force of the lid opening spring 67, and the lid 70 is moved. Return to the original closed position.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 10, 15 and 16, the first latch device 91 locks the lid 70 in the closed position. In the process of moving the lid 70 from the middle position of the lid to the lid position, the hop-up arm 80 is brought into the home position against the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 82 by the engagement of the pin 74 and the rib portion 84. Returning, the hop-up arm 80 is locked in the home position by the second latch device 92.

  By these things, the closing / opening device for the lid body 70 has a good appearance and is excellent in both design and operability.

  Further, the opening operation of the lid 70 from the closed position to the open position is automatically performed by the spring force of the lid opening spring 67 only by releasing the latch of the first latch device 81, and the lid 70 is opened. The movement from the lid position to the middle position of the lid is automatically performed by the spring force of the hop-up operation spring 82 only by releasing the latch of the second latch device 92, and the user closes the lid from the middle position of the lid closing. Since it is only necessary to move the lid 70 to the position, it is easy to use and has a good taste.

  In addition, since returning the lid 70 to the closed position is performed by a user's manual operation, there is a risk that the finger will be stuffed when the lid is closed, as compared with the case where the lid 70 is closed by a spring force only by a button operation.
