The upper surface cover 54 is covered on the passenger compartment side with a skin material 55 made of artificial leather, a resin molded product, or the like that exhibits required functions such as high-class feeling and cushioning properties.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the slide rail 32 is arranged at a position where the first rail 34 is biased to the front side of the support 22, and in the first position, the ball retainer 38 is located on the rear side of the first rail 34. The second rail 40 extends rearward from the rear edge of the first rail 34 and extends above the rear cover 30 while being displaced. At this time, the interference of the moving body 42 with the protruding portion 24 of the support body 22 is avoided by the recessed groove portion 46 formed excessively on the front side of the second rail 40, so that the moving body 42 is covered with the rear cover at the first position. It becomes possible to arrange on the rear side so as to be located above 30. Further, in the second position, the slide rail 32 has the ball retainer 38 shifted to the front side of the first rail 34, and the second rail 40 extends forward from the front edge of the first rail 34. 42 protrudes forward from the front edge of the support 22 (see FIG. 4B). At this time, in the second position, the front end portion (one end portion) of the concave groove portion 46 on the lower surface of the moving body 42 comes out of the front edge (one edge) of the support body 22, but the first rail 34 moves to the moving body. 42 is covered with a rear portion so as not to be exposed to the outside.

  The lid 20 has restricting means 28 and 58 for restricting the movement of the moving body 42 in each of the first position and the second position (see FIG. 6). The restricting means includes a plurality of (two in the embodiment) engaging recesses 28 formed in the inner surface of the inner wall portion 26 of the support 22 so as to be spaced apart in the moving direction of the moving body 42, and the moving body base 44. It is comprised from the engagement part 58 hold | maintained at the engagement holding | maintenance part 50 provided so that it might extend to, and to elastically advance or retract toward the inner surface of the corresponding inner wall part 26. The restricting means applies a load so as to restrict the movement of the moving body 42 by meshing between the engaging portion 58 and the engaging recess 28, and when a force is applied in the moving direction beyond the load, the engaging portion 58 comes out of the engaging recess 28 and the moving body 42 is allowed to move.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 20 includes protection means 60 that closes the concave groove 46 that faces the outside of the support 22 in the moving body 42 that is shifted from the first position to the second position. The protection means 60 includes a winding portion 62 disposed on the front side of the projecting portion 24 in the support body 22, and is pulled out from the winding portion 62 and beyond the front end portion of the concave groove portion 46. And a plate piece 64 having a tip (one end) attached to the tip. The protection means 60 is configured to urge the moving body 42 toward the first position. Here, as the protection means 60, a constant load spring that can apply a substantially constant urging force to the moving body 42 even when the pull-out length of the plate piece 64 changes as the moving body 42 moves is used. Yes. In the protection means 60, a plate piece 64 made of a flexible metal book is wound around an axis extending in the left-right direction by the winding portion 62, and as the moving body 42 moves toward the first position side. The plate piece 64 is wound around the winding portion 62 by its own urging force so as to be contracted (see FIG. 4A). Further, the protection means 60 is configured such that the plate piece 64 is pulled out from the winding portion 62 as the moving body 42 moves to the second position side, and the plate piece 64 in the wound state is the concave groove portion 46 in the moving body 42. It extends linearly downward (see FIG. 4B). Here, in the lid 20, the slide rail 32 and the protection means 60 are arranged so as to be arranged in series in the moving direction of the moving body 42. That is, the winding portion 62 that winds up the plate piece 64 and the attachment portion of the plate piece 64 drawn from the winding portion 62 to the moving body 42 linearly extend along the moving direction of the moving body 42. They are arranged linearly in line with the existing groove 46. The front end of the plate piece 64 is formed in a substantially “T” shape having hook pieces 65 extending on both sides in the left-right direction, and the hook pieces 65 are formed to protrude upward on the upper surface of the front end portion of the movable body base 44. It is connected to the moving body 42 by being hooked on the hooking claw 45. The surface of the plate piece 64 is coated with rubber or synthetic resin.

  The protection means 60 is set so that the biasing force is smaller than the restriction force of the moving body 42 by the restriction means 28 and 58. That is, the urging force of the protection means 60 is always applied to the moving body 42 toward the first position side, but the first position and the first position where the engagement concave portion 28 and the engagement portion 58 of the restriction means are engaged with each other. In the second position, the moving body is stopped against the urging force of the protection means 60.

  The movable body 42 is positioned above the support 22 and the rear cover 30 in the first position. At this time, the engagement portion 58 is fitted in the rear engagement recess 28, and the forward movement is restricted. Has been. Further, the protection means 60 is in a state where the plate piece 64 is wound around the winding portion 62 and contracted. When the moving body 42 is moved forward from the first position, the moving body 42 projects forward from the front edge of the support body 22, and the front end portion of the concave groove 46 protrudes to the front side of the front edge of the support body 22. At this time, the plate piece 64 of the protection means 60 is pulled out from the take-up portion 62 as the moving body 42 moves, whereby the concave groove portion is formed by the plate piece 64 from the front edge of the support 22 to the front edge of the concave groove portion 46. The lower surface of 46 is covered. When the moving body 42 reaches the second position, the forward movement of the moving body 42 is locked by a stopper (not shown) of the slide rail 32 and the engaging portion 58 is fitted in the engaging recess 28 on the front side. This restricts the movement of the moving body 42 in the front-rear direction. At the second position of the moving body 42, the lower surface of the recessed groove portion 46 that protrudes from the front edge of the support body 22 to the front side is closed by a plate piece 64. Here, since the urging force of the moving body 42 by the protection means 60 is set to be weaker than the restriction force of the moving body 42 by the restriction means 28, 58, the first position is changed from the second position by the urging force of the protection means 60. The moving body 42 can be prevented from returning toward the front, and the moving body 42 can be appropriately held at the second position.

  When the movable body 42 is returned from the second position to the first position, the plate piece 64 is wound around the winding portion 62 and contracts, and the urging force applied to the winding of the plate piece 64 causes the first movement of the movable body 42. Movement to one position side is assisted. When the moving body 42 reaches the first position, the backward movement of the moving body 42 is locked by a stopper (not shown) of the slide rail 32 and the engaging portion 58 is fitted in the engaging recess 28 on the rear side. Thereby, the movement of the moving body 42 in the front-rear direction is restricted.

The lid 20 is provided with a gripping portion at the front end portion of the moving body 42, and when moving the moving body 42, the user grasps the front end portion of the moving body 42 to perform an operation. As described above, when the movable body 42 is moved to the second position side, the concave groove portion 46 protrudes forward from the front edge of the support body 22, but the plate groove 64 covers the concave groove portion 46 facing outward from the support body 22. Therefore, even if the user holds the front end portion of the moving body 42, the plate piece 64 prevents the finger from entering the concave groove portion 46. Therefore, when the finger enters the concave groove 46, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the finger is sandwiched between the support 22 and the moving body 42 when the moving body 42 is moved, and the usability of the lid 20 is improved. Can do. Thus, since the groove 46 of the moving body 42 facing the outside of the support 22 can be covered with the plate piece 64, the groove 46 can be widened to the vicinity of the front end portion of the moving body 42, and set long. Interference with the support body 22 accompanying the movement of the moving body 42 can be appropriately avoided by the recessed groove portion 46, and a large moving range of the moving body 42 can be secured. Further, since the protection means 60 is arranged in series with the slide rail 32, the direction in which the urging force of the protection means 60 is applied and the moving direction of the moving body by the slide rail 32 are aligned, and the urging force of the protection means 60. Is added to the moving body 42 in a well-balanced manner.
That is, there is no backlash of the moving body 42 by providing the protection means 60, and the moving body 42 can be moved smoothly. Moreover, by using a constant load spring as the protection means 60, the urging force does not change due to the drawing or winding of the plate piece 64 accompanying the movement of the moving body 42, and the operational feeling of the moving body 42 can be kept constant. . Further, since the plate piece 64 which is a leaf spring is hard to some extent, it is preferable that the plate piece 64 does not bend so as to enter the groove 46 when touched by the user, and it is preferable that a finger enters the groove 46 by the plate piece 64. It can be prevented.
