That is, the open holding portion 63 is formed in a thin plate shape. In the present embodiment, the lid 12 can be rotated by, for example, 70 ° at the maximum by the open holding portion 63.

  The support portion 52 is a portion covered with the rear portion of the side decorative plates 46 and 46 and the rear decorative plate 47, and is provided integrally with the rear portion of the rear plate 56. Further, the support portion 52 includes a support portion main body 65 as a mounted portion main body that protrudes in the vicinity of the upper end of the rear plate 56, and a rear surface that is continuous with the lower portion of the support portion main body 65 and is the outer surface of the rear plate 56. A support extending portion 66 formed in a longitudinal shape in the vertical direction is integrally provided at the center in the vehicle width direction. The hinge arms 21 of the lid 12 are respectively positioned on both sides of the support portion main body 65 and the support extending portion 66 of the support portion 52, that is, on the side opposite to the storage portion 57.

  The support portion main body 65 includes long side plate portions 68 and 68 that project downward from the upper portion of the rear plate 56 toward the rear, and a connecting plate portion that connects the lower end portions of the both side plate portions 68 and 68. 69 and is formed in a rectangular frame shape together with the upper portion of the rear plate 56.

  Each side plate portion 68 is provided with a holding portion 71 as a shaft body as an urging means holding portion having an axial direction in the vehicle width direction as a cylindrical (boss shape) projecting at a position near the upper end. An escape portion 72 that avoids interference with the lid 12 is provided around 71.

  The holding portion 71 is a portion that holds a torsion spring 74 as urging means, and a plurality of holding rib portions 71a are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 71 along the axial direction. These holding rib portions 71a reinforce the holding portion 71 and prevent the torsion spring 74 from rotating. Further, the rotation shaft 36 is inserted between the holding portions 71 and 71 of the side plate portions 68 and 68. The torsion spring 74 is formed by winding a metal linear body in a coil shape, and is held by the holding portion 71 by a holding rib portion 71a of the holding portion 71 inserted therein. The torsion spring 74 has one end fixed to the lid 12 and the other end fixed to the box main body 13 so that the opening 15 of the box main body 13 opens (clockwise in FIG. 1). It comes to energize 12.

  Further, the escape portion 72 is formed along a virtual arc whose outer edge portion is centered on the central axis of the holding portion 71 (the rotation shaft 36).

  Further, each support extending portion 66 is a portion facing the inner side (housing portion 57 side) of each hinge arm 21 of the lid body 12 in the maximum closed position, and the side portion of each support extending portion 66 and A receiving portion (not shown) for attaching the side decorative plate 46 and the rear decorative plate 47 is formed at the rear portion. Further, a plurality of, for example, two deformation suppressing portions are provided on the side portion of the support extending portion 66 over the front portions of the support portion main bodies 65 and 65, below the holding portion 71 (rotating shaft 36), that is, immediately below. Reinforcing ribs 76 including a pair of ribs 75 and 75 are respectively projected. These reinforcing ribs 76 have a function to reinforce the support portion 52 of the casing portion 45, and in a side view, along the front-rear direction and gradually incline downward from the rear side to the front side, In other words, they are linear along the direction intersecting (orthogonal) with respect to the support portion main body 65 and are substantially parallel to each other. Further, the reinforcing ribs 76 are respectively connected to a connecting rib 77 as a connecting portion protruding from the side of the support extending portion 66 in front of the lower portion of the support portion main body 65. The connecting rib 77 is substantially parallel to the support body 65.

  Further, each rib 75 is deformed so that the hinge arm 21 is tilted toward the box body 13 (supporting portion 52) with respect to the lid portion 20 by contacting the interference surface 30 inside each hinge arm 21. This is to suppress this, and is located on the lowermost side among the reinforcing ribs 76. Furthermore, the front side portions of these ribs 75 are inclined portions 75a that gradually incline toward the front side (box body 13 side). The inclined portion 75a is for relaxing the contact resistance between each rib 75 and the interference surface 30. Each rib 75 has a predetermined angle α (for example, 2.5 ° in the present embodiment) in the opening direction from the maximum closed position (FIGS. 1A and 2B) of the lid 12 (see FIG. 1). 2 (a)) is configured to contact the interference surface 30. Therefore, the contact range between each rib 75 and the interference surface 30 in the rotation range of the lid 12 is the same as the range in which the clamp portion 23 engages with the engagement recess 61. In other words, each rib 75 has an inclined portion at the same time as the claw portion 42 of the clamp portion 23 starts to engage with the engagement recess 61 of the box body 13 when the lid 12 is rotated in the closing direction. It is configured to abut against the interference surface 30 from the 75a side.

  The console box 10 is locked to the box body 13 by the clamp portion 23 (FIG. 3) in a state where the lid 12 closes the opening 15 (maximum closed position). At this time, the lid 12 is configured such that the shaft support portions 26 of the hinge arms 21 are fitted into the escape portions 72 and the ribs 75 and 75 are in contact with the interference surface 30 so that the hinge arms 21 are connected to the box body 13 side ( It is in a state of being supported so as not to fall down (inward) (FIGS. 1A and 2B).

  In this state, when an occupant or the like releases the locking of the lid body 12 to the box body 13 by operating the clamp portion 23, the lid body 12 rotates about the rotation shaft 36 by the urging of the torsion spring 74. Move. At this time, since the front part of the lid body 12 rotates rearward and upward, the protrusion 32 of each hinge arm 21 moves forward and upward. The lid 12 stops rotating when the abutment support portion 32a of each hinge arm 21 abuts on each open holding portion 63 of the box body 13, and holds the opening 15 at the maximum open position. Then, an occupant or the like can access the storage portion 57, and articles can be taken in and out.

  Further, when the lid 12 is closed, the armrest portion 17 of the lid 12 is pushed forward against the bias of the torsion spring 74. Then, at the position where the predetermined angle α with respect to the maximum closed position is reached, the claw portion 42 of the clamp portion 23 starts engaging with the engagement recess 61 (FIG. 3), and at the same time, the rib 75 is connected to each hinge arm 21. The contact is started from the interference surface 30 and the inclined portion 75a side. Further, by pushing the lid 12 to the maximum closed position, the claw portion 42 moves over the upper edge of the engagement recess 61 downward, and then the engagement biasing means biases toward the engagement recess 61. And the state where the lid 12 is locked to the box body 13 by the clamp portion 23 is maintained. In this state, the article is stored and held in the storage unit 57, and an occupant cannot access the storage unit 57 from the outside. Further, in this state, each rib 75 maintains a state in which the rib 75 is in contact with the interference surface 30 of each hinge arm 21, so that, for example, the box main body 13 (support portion 52) of each hinge arm 21 due to heat in the passenger compartment or the like. Suppress deformation to the side.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the ribs 75, 75 extend in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction in a state where the lid 12 is in the maximum closed position that is closest to the box body 13 (opening 15). By abutting on a plate-like hinge arm 21 provided along a predetermined surface and suppressing deformation to the inside (box body 13 (supporting portion 52) side) which is a direction intersecting the predetermined surface of the hinge arm 21 For example, the hinge arm 21 can be maintained in a state in which the hinge arm 21 is corrected with respect to deformation without insert-molding a steel plate or covering the hinge arm with the steel plate or the like. Therefore, it becomes possible to mold the hinge arm 21 only with synthetic resin, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in assembly accuracy (accuracy of the rotation center axis) due to deformation of the hinge arm 21 while suppressing an increase in (material) cost and weight. Therefore, the movable accuracy of the lid 12 can be ensured.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the main body is the box main body 13 that is a storage body provided with the opening 15 and the storage portion 57 that communicates with the opening 15, and the movable body is a hinge portion that is an attachment portion, that is, a hinge. The opening portion of the box body 13 is supported by the support portion 52 of the box body 13 by the arm 21 and can be turned between the position at which the opening portion 15 is closed and the position at which the opening portion 15 is opened. Rotational accuracy can be ensured while suppressing an increase in cost and weight of the lid 12 that opens and closes 15.

  In particular, in the case of a storage device such as the console box 10, since the lid 12 is generally in a closed position (maximum closed position) when not in use, the lid 12 is closed in this manner for a long period of time. It can be left unattended. Therefore, even if an external factor such as the exposed interior of the vehicle is exposed to high temperatures, the ribs 75 and 75 are brought into contact with each hinge arm 21 at the maximum closed position of the lid 12. Thus, even when the console box 10 is left unattended for a long time, the deformation of the hinge arms 21 toward the box body 13 (supporting portion 52) can be suppressed.

  Then, the inclined surface 75a provided on each rib 75 causes the interference surface 30 and the rib 75 of each hinge arm 21 to move from the position of the predetermined angle α to the maximum closed position when the lid body 12 is rotated in the closing direction. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a sudden increase in the rotational load of the lid body 12 due to this contact, and an uncomfortable feeling in the rotational operation of the lid body 12.

  Further, by sharing the ribs 75, 75 having a function of reinforcing the box body 13 as the deformation suppressing portion, it is not necessary to separately provide the deformation suppressing portion, and the configuration of the console box 10 can be further simplified. In addition, since the ribs 75 and 75 can be integrally formed at the same time as the box body 13 is formed, a separate process for forming the ribs 75 and 75 is not required, and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of work steps.

  Further, the ribs 75 and 75 are configured to abut on the inner side of the hinge arms 21 and 21 located on the outer side of the ribs 75 and 75 on the opposite side of the accommodating part 57, thereby forming the ribs 75 and 75 at the time of molding. It is possible to more reliably suppress the inward deformation of the hinge arms 21 and 21 due to the residual stress. That is, in the case of a resin molded product having a corner, the flow of the molten resin material injected from the gate into the cavity differs between the inside and the outside of the portion corresponding to the corner, so that stress remains on the inside of the corner. Since the shrinkage rate difference is likely to occur at the corner, the side surface is liable to fall down (inwardly warp) after becoming a molded product through shrinkage after molding. Therefore, the hinge arm 21, 21 protrudes in a direction intersecting the lid 20, that is, the lid body 16 having a corner on the base end side that is the lid 20 side of the hinge arm 21, 21 is formed of a synthetic resin. Then, since the hinge arms 21 and 21 fall inward, that is, easily fall down to the box body 13 (support portion 52) side, the hinge arms 21 and 21 are supported by the ribs 75 and 75 from the inside, so that the hinge arms 21 and 21 are supported. Can be more reliably suppressed.

  The ribs 75 and 75 come into contact with the hinge arms 21 and 21 when the clamp portion 23 provided on the cover 12 engages with the engagement recess 61 of the box body 13. An increase in the rotation load can be made less likely to cause an uncomfortable feeling in the rotation operation of the lid 12. That is, when engaging the clamp portion 23 with the engagement recess 61 of the box body 13, an occupant or the like who is turning the lid body 12 clamps the lid body 12 by applying an external force in the closing direction. The claw part 42 of the part 23 tries to get over the engaging recess 61. Therefore, the external force applied for the engagement of the clamp portion 23 in this way is a force for rotating the lid body 12 against the rotational load increased by the ribs 75 and 75 coming into contact with the hinge arms 21 and 21. Since it can be used, an occupant or the like hardly recognizes an increase in the rotation load, and it is difficult for the passenger to feel uncomfortable in the rotation operation of the lid 12.

  Furthermore, since the ribs 75 and 75 and the hinge arms 21 and 21 of the present embodiment can be set regardless of the size of the console box 10 or the like, it can be applied to the console box 10 of any size.

  In the above embodiment, the clamp portion 23 may be provided on the box body 13 side and engaged with the lid 12 side.

  Further, although the console box 10 provided in the vehicle compartment has been described, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and can be applied to a vehicle storage box disposed at another position of the vehicle, such as a glove box. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to a vehicle and can be applied to a storage device that is attached to various places. And it is not restricted to a storage device, that is, the rotating body is not limited to a lid that opens and closes the opening of the storage box, but may be a lid that covers a portion such as an operation unit. Further, the movable body is not limited to a rotating lid body, but as a device such as a cup holder in which the movable body is pulled out by sliding the rail-like sliding portion from the state in which the movable body is stored with respect to the main body. Is also applicable.

  The present invention can be applied to a console box provided in a passenger compartment of a vehicle, an accessory case having a lid, a cup holder, or the like.
