JP 2013-220710 A Japanese Patent No. 3926807

  This invention is made | formed in view of this situation, and makes it a subject to provide the double-folding storage apparatus which can maintain a cover body in an open state.

The double-open storage device of the present invention can swing between a box body having a storage portion, a closed position for closing the storage portion, and an open position where one end side or the other end side in the first direction of the storage portion is open. And a pair of locking mechanisms respectively provided on one end side and the other end side in the first direction of the lid body.
Each of the pair of lock mechanisms includes a locking portion provided in the box body, and a lock member provided in the lid body and locked in the closed position by being locked to the locking portion. An operation portion provided in the box body, and a displacement of the operation portion that is provided in the box body and cooperates with the operation portion when the lid body is in a closed position. A transmission member for releasing the lock of the lid by detaching the lock member from the locking portion,
Furthermore, a box side support portion supported at an end portion in a second direction different from the first direction of the box body, a lid side support portion supported at an end portion in the second direction of the lid body, An extendable telescopic arm connected between the box side support portion and the lid side support portion and swingable about the box side support portion, and urges the extendable arm in the extending direction. An elastic member having an urging member is provided.

  According to the present invention, by operating one operation part of the lock mechanism provided on one end side and the other end side in the first direction of the lid body, the one end side and the other end side in the first direction of the lid body are provided. One lock member is detached from the engaging portion, and the locked state in the closed position of the lid is released. Then, the expansion / contraction member is extended, and the unlocked side of the one end side and the other end side in the first direction of the lid is lifted to the open position by the expansion / contraction member. Even after the lid body is positioned at the open position, the lid body is held at the open position by the extended elastic member.

  Further, the elastic member is biased in the extending direction. When the lock at the closed position of the lid is released by operation of the operation unit, the telescopic member extends. Then, the lid is opened and the lid is held in the open position. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide the lid body with a mechanism for opening the lid body to the open position or a mechanism for holding the lid body at the open position. For this reason, the components of the lid can be reduced.

  The operation unit is provided in the box body, and a transmission member that transmits the operation of the operation unit to a lock member provided in the lid is also provided in the box body. For this reason, the components of the lid can be reduced. The configuration of the lid can be simplified and the weight can be reduced, and the urging force for extending the elastic member can be reduced. In addition, the degree of freedom in designing the lid increases.

  Furthermore, the expansion / contraction member is supported by the edge part of the 2nd direction of a cover body. For this reason, when the lid is opened, a load is applied to the end in the second direction by the elastic member. The load point by the expansion / contraction member is separated from the swing center on one end side and the other end side in the first direction of the lid. Therefore, the lid can be opened even if the biasing force in the extending direction of the expansion / contraction member for opening the lid is smaller than that in the case where the biasing member is provided at the swing center of the lid.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the lid body can be opened by the urging force in the extending direction of the expansion / contraction member, it is not necessary to wind the urging member around the rotating shaft as in Patent No. 4154644, for example, and the lid body is thinned. The degree of freedom in designing the lid is high.
