A case where the invention is applied will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the storage box 10 according to the embodiment includes a box body 12 and an operation lever 14 that is rotatably supported by the box body 12 by a support structure. The box body 12 is formed in a box shape opened upward, and is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the instrument panel P with a hinge portion 12a provided at a lower portion of the side wall as a fulcrum. The box body 12 closes the opening Pa (see FIG. 1) opened in the instrument panel P with the front wall 16 and the storage position in which the article storage unit 18 is stored inside the instrument panel P. The hinge portion 12a is tilted toward the passenger compartment side as a fulcrum, and the posture of the upper opening 18a of the article storage portion 18 can be changed between the loading and unloading posture facing the passenger compartment. That is, the box body 12 is configured such that the front wall 16 constitutes a part of the instrument panel P in the storage posture.

  The front wall 16 of the box body 12 is provided with a recess 20 that is recessed from the passenger compartment side toward the inside (back side) of the instrument panel P. A pair of bearings are spaced apart from each other on the front upper portion of the recess 20. The portions 22 and 32 are formed so as to protrude toward the passenger compartment (see FIGS. 2 and 3). Each of the bearing portions 22 and 32 is formed so as to be continuous with the upper contour portion 20 a that defines the upper side of the concave portion 20, and is provided so as to be separated from the lateral contour portion 20 b that defines the lateral side of the concave portion 20. Yes. The two bearing portions 22 and 32 arranged opposite to each other on the left and right are respectively formed with shaft holes 24 and 34 that open to opposite sides, and the first shaft hole 24 provided in the first bearing portion 22 on the right side. The depth F1 is deeper than the depth F2 of the second shaft hole 34 provided in the left second bearing portion 32 (F1> F2). As shown in FIG. 4, the first bearing portion 22 is formed on the back side after the front end face 26 facing the compartment side protrudes downward from the upper portion 20 a defining the upper side of the recess 20 toward the compartment side. It is gently curved so as to recede, and a recess 26 a is formed between the upper shell portion 20 a and the top portion of the front end surface 26 of the first bearing portion 22. In the embodiment, the front end surface of the second bearing portion 32 is also curved like the front end surface 26 of the first bearing portion 22. In the second bearing portion 32, a guide surface 36 that is inclined toward the first bearing portion 22 side toward the opening edge of the second shaft hole 34 is provided on the side facing the first bearing portion 22. It is formed in accordance with the attaching / detaching direction of the second shaft portion 46 of the operating lever 14 to be inserted. In the embodiment, the first shaft portion 44 of the operation lever 14 inserted into the first shaft hole 24 of the first bearing portion 22 is inserted into the first shaft hole 24, and the first shaft portion 44 is used as a fulcrum. The operation lever 14 is tilted up and down, and the second shaft portion 46 is inserted into and removed from the second shaft hole 34. Correspondingly, the guide surface 36 is formed from the lower portion of the second bearing portion 32 to the lower opening edge of the second shaft hole 34. Further, a claw insertion port 38 penetrating the recess 20 is formed between the bearing portions 22 and 32 in the recess 20 (see FIG. 3). Here, the box body 12 may be a molded product in which the respective parts such as the bearing parts 22 and 32 are integrally formed by molding from a synthetic resin such as polypropylene.

  The operation lever 14 includes an operation plate 40 formed in a plate shape, a locking claw 42 formed to protrude toward the inside of the instrument panel P at the upper center of the back side of the operation plate 40, and opposite directions to each other. And a pair of shaft portions 44 and 46 formed to extend in the left-right direction (see FIG. 3). Here, both shaft portions 44 and 46 are integrally formed with a pair of wall pieces 43 and 45 formed on the upper portion of the operation plate 40 so as to protrude toward the back side with the latching claws 42 sandwiched between the left and right sides. 44 extends from the right side surface of the right wall piece 43 to the right side, and the second shaft portion 46 extends from the left side surface of the left wall piece 45 to the left side. The first shaft portion 44 on the right side corresponding to the first shaft hole 24 of the first bearing portion 22 has wall pieces 43, more than the second shaft portion 46 on the left side corresponding to the second shaft hole 34 of the second bearing portion 32. The protrusion dimension from 45 is formed long. In addition, as for the axial parts 44 and 46 of an Example, the upper part of an axial end is a taper shape. The operation lever 14 fits the first shaft portion 44 into the first shaft hole 24 and fits the second shaft portion 46 into the second shaft hole 34, so that the operation plate 40 is positioned between the operation plate 40 and the bottom of the recess 20. It is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the box main body 12 with a gap in which a fingertip can be inserted (see FIG. 4).

  The locking claw 42 of the operation lever 14 protrudes to the back side of the front wall 16 in the box body 12 through the claw insertion opening 38, and the protruding end portion on the back side rotates in the vertical direction as the operation plate 40 is displaced. (See FIG. 2). When the box body 12 is in the stowed position, the operation lever 14 has a protruding end that is bent above the locking claw 42 in a locked position in which the front surface of the operation plate 40 is aligned with the front surface of the box body 12. The box main body 12 is held in the retracted position by the engagement of the locking claws 42 (see the solid line in FIG. 2). Further, the operation lever 14 is set to an operation posture in which the lower portion of the operation plate 40 is rotated about the shaft portions 44 and 46 so as to be pulled out toward the passenger compartment side, so that the locking claw 42 is disengaged from the instrument panel P. The box body 12 is displaced downward so as to be disengaged (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2). Here, the operation lever 14 can be a molded product in which the operation plate 40, the locking claw 42, both shaft portions 44, 46, and the like are integrally formed by molding from a synthetic resin such as polypropylene.

  The operating lever 14 is used in a state in which both shaft portions 44 and 46 are positioned at positions where the shaft portions 44 and 46 are fitted in the corresponding shaft holes 24 and 34, respectively (see FIG. 3). In the recessed part 20, it arrange | positions with predetermined clearance from the right and left profile parts 20b and 20b. The support structure is configured to be displaceable from the arrangement position toward the first bearing portion 22 (see FIG. 5B). In addition, the support structure has a second structure as the operation lever 14 tilts with the first shaft portion 44 inserted into the first shaft hole 24 as a fulcrum at the attachment / detachment position where the operation lever 14 is displaced toward the first bearing portion 22. It is configured to allow insertion / removal of the second shaft portion 46 with respect to the shaft hole 34 (see FIG. 5A). In the embodiment, the shaft end of the second shaft portion 46 abuts the bottom of the second shaft hole 34 at the position where the operation lever 14 is disposed, and the movement of the operation lever 14 toward the second bearing portion 32 is restricted. (See FIG. 3). In the shaft portions 44 and 46, the distance L1 between the shaft ends is longer than the distance L2 between the opening edges of the shaft holes 24 and 34 in the bearing portions 22 and 32 (L1> L2). Is set shorter than the distance L3 between the bottoms (L1 <L3). The distance L4 at which the operating lever 14 can be displaced in the axial direction (left-right direction) is determined by the difference between the distance L1 between the shaft ends of both shaft portions 44, 46 and the distance L3 between the bottoms of both shaft holes 24, 34. The depth F2 of the second shaft hole 34 is substantially the same or longer (L4≈F2 or L4> F2). The claw insertion port 38 is formed with a lateral width that allows the lateral displacement of the locking claw 42 due to the displacement of the operation lever 14 between the disposition position and the attachment / detachment position, and between the lock posture and the operation posture. The engaging claw 42 is formed with a vertical width that allows the vertical displacement of the locking claw 42 accompanying the displacement of the operation lever 14. Further, the claw insertion opening 38 is set to a size hidden by the operation plate 40 of the operation lever 14 disposed in the recess 20 so that it cannot be seen from the vehicle compartment side by the operation plate 40.

  An urging member 50 made of a compression torsion coil spring is disposed between the box body 12 and the operation lever 14 (see FIG. 3). The urging member 50 includes a coil portion 52 that can be compressed and deformed in the winding axis direction, and a pair of arm portions 54 and 56 extending from the coil portion 52, and only in the twisting direction of both arm portions 54 and 56. In addition, a force can be applied also in the winding axis direction of the coil portion 52. In the urging member 50, the first shaft portion 44 is inserted into the coil portion 52, and the coil portion 52 is disposed between the inner surface of the first bearing portion 22 and the right wall piece 43 in the operation lever 14. The urging member 50 includes a first arm portion 54 extending from an end portion of the coil portion 52 on the first bearing portion 22 side and abuts the box body 12, and an end portion of the coil portion 52 on the second bearing portion 32 side. The second arm portion 56 extending from the contact portion is configured to come into contact with the operation lever 14 and biases the operation lever 14 around the shafts 44 and 46 from the operation posture toward the lock posture. . Further, the biasing member 50 has a coil axis 52 in a natural state where no force is applied, and the dimension in the winding axis direction is a distance between the right wall piece 43 of the operation lever 14 and the first bearing portion 22 at the arrangement position. Is set longer. The urging member 50 is disposed in a state where the coil portion 52 is sandwiched and compressed between the right wall piece 43 of the operation lever 14 and the first bearing portion 22, and the operation lever 14 is moved to the second bearing portion. It is urged toward the 32 side. That is, in the support structure, the operation lever 14 can be displaced in the axial direction between the disposition position and the attachment / detachment position as described above, but is urged toward the disposition position side by the urging member 50. It is held in the arrangement position. In addition, the coil portion 52 is configured to be capable of compressive deformation accompanying displacement from the position where the operation lever 14 is disposed to the attachment / detachment position from the state sandwiched between the right wall piece 43 and the first bearing portion 22. (See FIG. 5 (b)).

  The first arm portion 54 extends outward in the radial direction of the coil portion 52 and then extends to the right side so as to be separated from the coil portion 52 along the winding axis direction. The front end is bent so as to be folded back toward the inner side in the radial direction of the coil portion 52 to form a locking piece 54b extending so as to intersect the axial direction of the first shaft portion 44 (see FIG. 3). In the first arm portion 54, the contact piece 54 a is positioned in the recess 26 a of the front end surface 26 in the first bearing portion 22, and the contact piece 54 a is received by the front end surface 26. Further, the first arm portion 54 has an engaging piece 54b extending along an outer surface opposite to an inner surface with which the coil portion 52 of the first bearing portion 22 contacts, and the engaging piece 54b is an urging member. The first bearing portion 22 is hooked so as to restrict the axial movement of the 50 toward the second bearing portion 32. Here, the locking piece 54b is hooked to the top of the first bearing portion 22 that swells toward the vehicle compartment side of the recess 26a of the front end face 26 (see FIG. 4). The second arm portion 56 extends outward in the radial direction of the coil portion 52 and then extends to the left side so as to be separated from the coil portion 52 along the winding axis direction. 43 is inserted into a holding hole 48 penetratingly formed along the axial direction (see FIG. 3).

  Next, a case where the operation lever 14 is attached to the box body 12 will be described. The coil portion 52 of the urging member 50 is fitted to the first shaft portion 44, and the second arm portion 56 is inserted into the holding hole 48 of the right wall piece 43 of the operation lever 14, thereby allowing the first shaft portion 44 to move. The biasing member 50 can be set in a state where the position around the axis is defined. The first shaft portion 44 is inserted into the first shaft hole 24 from obliquely below with the operation lever 14 in an oblique posture with the first shaft portion 44 side up (see FIG. 5A). At this time, the locking claw 42 is inserted into the claw insertion port 38. Since the claw insertion port 38 is formed to be large so as to allow the displacement of the locking claw 42 accompanying the displacement of the operation lever 14, the slanting posture is set. Even the locking claw 42 can be inserted into the claw insertion opening 38. Further, the first arm portion 54 of the urging member 50 extends along the front end surface 26 of the first bearing portion 22. By displacing the second shaft portion 46 side of the operating lever 14 upward with the first shaft portion 44 inserted into the first shaft hole 24 as a fulcrum, the second shaft portion 46 is formed on the guide surface 36 of the second bearing portion 32. Is guided toward the second shaft hole 34. Here, the operation lever 14 is displaced by the coil portion 52 of the urging member 50 sandwiched between the right wall piece 43 and the first bearing portion 22 so as to be displaced toward the first bearing portion 22 side. The first shaft portion 44 is allowed to be inserted into the first shaft hole 24 up to the attachment / detachment position beyond the arrangement position. That is, since the entire operation lever 14 is displaced toward the first bearing portion 22, when the second shaft portion 46 gets over the opening edge of the second shaft hole 34 in the second bearing portion 32, Interference with the second bearing portion 32 can be suppressed. When the second shaft portion 46 gets over the second bearing portion 32, the second shaft portion 46 is inserted into the second shaft hole 34 by the biasing of the biasing member 50 toward the second bearing portion 32 by the coil portion 52. Then, the shaft portions 44 and 46 are moved to the disposition positions where they are respectively fitted in the corresponding shaft holes 24 and 34, and are held at the disposition positions by the biasing of the coil portion 52.

  Further, when the operation lever 14 is attached, the first arm portion 54 is guided by the curved front end surface 26 of the first bearing portion 22, and the contact piece 54 a is guided to the recess 26 a of the front end surface 26. The stop piece 54 b extends along the outer surface of the first bearing portion 22. As described above, when the operation lever 14 is attached, the first arm portion 54 can be prevented from being caught in an illegal state on the first bearing portion 22, and the deformation of the first arm portion 54 and the first arm portion 54 can be prevented. Problems such as an increase or decrease in rotational resistance due to a position failure can be avoided. Moreover, since the second arm portion 56 is inserted into the holding hole 48 to define the position of the urging member 50 around the axis with respect to the first shaft portion 44, when the operation lever 14 is attached to or detached from the box body 12, It is difficult for the first arm portion 54 to be caught in the first bearing portion 22 in an unauthorized state.

  Next, a case where the operation lever 14 is detached from the box body 12 will be described. By displacing the operation lever 14 from the disposition position toward the attachment / detachment position against the urging of the coil portion 52 of the urging member 50, the second shaft portion 46 is extracted from the second shaft hole 34, or the second The amount of the second shaft portion 46 applied to the biaxial hole 34 is greatly reduced (see FIG. 5B). By displacing the second shaft portion 46 side of the operating lever 14 downward with the first shaft portion 44 inserted into the first shaft hole 24 as a fulcrum, the second shaft portion 46 gets over the second bearing portion 32 and is pulled out. Is issued. As described above, since the entire operation lever 14 is displaced toward the first bearing portion 22, the second shaft portion 46 is moved when the second shaft portion 46 gets over the opening edge of the second shaft hole 34 in the second bearing portion 32. Interference between 46 and the second bearing portion 32 can be suppressed. Further, when the operation lever 14 is removed, the first arm portion 54 is guided by the curved front end surface 26 of the first bearing portion 22, and the contact piece 54 a and the locking piece 54 b are hooked on the first bearing portion 22. Is prevented. As described above, according to the support structure of the embodiment, it is possible to remove the shaft portion 110 and the bearing portion 108 described in the conventional example, which is impossible with the support structure in which the shaft portion 110 and the bearing portion 108 are pressed and fitted. Even if a defect such as a position defect of the member 50 occurs, it can be easily corrected.

  According to the support structure according to the embodiment, the operation lever 14 can be shifted to the first bearing portion 22 side so as to reduce the amount of interference between the second shaft portion 46 and the second bearing portion 32. The second shaft portion 46 can be easily inserted into and removed from the shaft hole 34. Further, when the first shaft portion 44 is inserted into the first shaft hole 24, the first shaft portion 44 does not interfere with the first bearing portion 22. Moreover, since the second shaft portion 46 can be inserted into and removed from the second shaft hole 34 with the first shaft portion 44 inserted into the first shaft hole 24 as a fulcrum, the operation lever 14 can be easily attached to and detached from the box body 12. It can be carried out. Further, when the shaft portions 44 and 46 are inserted into and removed from the shaft holes 24 and 34, interference between the shaft portions 44 and 46 and the bearing portions 22 and 32 can be suppressed, so that the shaft portions 44 and 46 or the bearing portions 22 and 32 can be suppressed. Defects such as crushing and deformation can be avoided, and the occurrence of burrs due to strong interference as described above can also be prevented. As described above, the shape of the shaft portions 44 and 46 and the bearing portions 22 and 32 (shaft holes 24 and 34) due to the mounting of the operation lever 14 can be prevented, and the operation lever 14 can be held without rattling. Since an increase in sliding resistance due to a shape defect can be avoided, the operation lever 14 can be smoothly rotated with respect to the box body 12. Therefore, in order to smoothly rotate the operation lever 14, the lubricant applied between the shaft portions 44 and 46 and the shaft holes 24 and 34 can be omitted. In a state where the operation lever 14 is attached to the box body 12, the coil portion 52 of the urging member 50 is urged and the shaft portions 44 and 46 are held so as to fit into the corresponding shaft holes 24 and 34, respectively. Therefore, the operation lever 14 is not easily detached from the box body 12.

  According to the support structure, the urging member 50 can be positioned in the axial direction of the first shaft portion 44 by the locking piece 54 b of the first arm portion 54 that is caught by the first bearing portion 22. Further, as the second arm portion 56 is displaced by the turning operation of the operation lever 14, the coil portion 52 is twisted so as to be inclined with respect to the first shaft portion 44 (see FIG. 7B). This can be suppressed by restricting the position of the stop piece 54b. Thereby, the torque cross produced by the coil part 52 being hooked on the 1st axial part 44 can be reduced, and the operation lever 14 can be rotated more smoothly with respect to the box main body 12. FIG.

(Example of change)
