First, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the console box 1 which concerns on Example 1 is demonstrated (refer FIG. 1). In the following description, “up”, “down”, “front”, “back”, “left”, and “right” refer to the directions of “up”, “down”, “front”, “back”, “left”, and “right” described in the above-described drawings. The directions of up, down, front, back, left, and right are shown based on the state where they are assembled on a car floor (not shown). The same applies to Example 2 described later.

  The console box 1 includes a console box body 10 that can store articles therein through an opening 10a, a lid 30 that is hinged to be able to open and close the opening 10a of the console box body 10, and an opening of the console box body 10. It is comprised from the locking device 40 which locks the lid 30 with respect to the console box main body 10 so that 10a may be in a closed state. Below, these console box main bodies 10, the lid 30, and the locking device 40 are demonstrated separately.

  First, the console box body 10 will be described (see FIG. 2). The console box body 10 includes a front wall 12, a rear wall 14, left and right side walls 16, and a bottom wall 18 so as to have an opening 10 a on the upper side, and an article (illustration is illustrated) via the opening 10 a provided on the upper side. It is composed of a rectangular box-shaped member that can store (can be put in and out). An advancing / retracting hole 12a through which a striker 60 of a locking device 40 (to be described later) can be advanced / retracted is formed at substantially the center in the left / right direction of the front wall 12.

  Further, the front wall 12 is formed with a flange 20 projecting toward the front side. An operation hole 20a capable of operating a knob 70 of a locking device 40 (to be described later) (to be able to push in the knob 70) is formed in the center of the flange 20 in the left-right direction. In addition, insertion holes 20b are formed at both ends of the flange 20 in the left-right direction so that pins 34a of the lid 30 (to be described later) can be inserted and the pressing portions 84 of the stopper 80 can be pressed against each other. The console box body 10 is integrally formed from a rigid synthetic resin. The console box body 10 configured in this way is assembled on a floor (not shown) between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the automobile.

  Next, the lid 30 will be described (see FIG. 3). The lid 30 is configured by assembling a door inner 30a formed so as to be able to close the opening 10a of the console box body 10 and a door outer 30b formed so as to form a design of the door inner 30a. The door inner 30a and the door outer 30b are integrally formed from a synthetic resin having rigidity.

  A concave hole 32 is formed in the front wall of the door inner 30a so as to receive a striker 60 of the locking device 40 described later. On the other hand, a grip portion 34 is formed on the front edge of the door outer 30b so that the lid 30 can be easily opened and closed. Pins 34 a that can press both pressing portions 84 of a stopper 80 of the locking device 40 described later are formed on both edges of the grip portion 34 in the left-right direction. The lid 30 is configured in this way.

  Finally, the locking device 40 will be described (see FIGS. 4 to 5). The locking device 40 includes a base 50, a striker 60, a knob 70, and a stopper 80. A striker 60 is assembled to the base 50 through an insertion hole 52 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. At this time, the striker 60 is assembled via the compression spring 64. Therefore, the striker 60 is always urged from the advance / retreat hole 12a of the console box body 10 toward the advance direction (rearward direction). Of course, the slide amount of the striker 60 is regulated so that the striker 60 does not fall out (completely come out) from the advance / retreat hole 12a.

  The base 50 is assembled with a knob 70 that can be moved up and down (slidable in the vertical direction) via the operation hole 20a of the console box body 10. At this time, the knob 70 is assembled via the compression spring 74. For this reason, the knob 70 is always urged upward. Of course, the raising / lowering amount of the knob 70 is regulated so that the knob 70 does not fall out (completely come out) from the operation hole 20a. The pair of left and right tapered portions 62 formed on the striker 60 and the pair of left and right tapered portions 72 formed on the knob 70 are relatively slidable.

  Therefore, when the knob 70 is operated against the urging force of the compression spring 74 (operation to push the knob 70), the striker 60 retreats toward the advance / retreat hole 12a against the urging force of the compression spring 64 (in the forward direction). Slide towards). An engagement groove 66 having a substantially right triangle shape is formed on the lower surface of the striker 60.

  The base 50 is assembled with a stopper 80 that can be moved up and down (slidable in the vertical direction) via the receiving portion 54. At this time, the stopper 80 is assembled via a compression spring 86 that forms a pair on the left and right. For this reason, the stopper 80 is constantly biased upward. Further, on the upper surface of the stopper 80, a substantially right-angled triangular engaging portion 82 that can be fitted into the engaging groove 66 of the striker 60 is formed.

  The lock device 40 includes the base 50, the striker 60, the knob 70, and the stopper 80. The base 50 of the locking device 40 configured as described above is assembled to the outer surface of the front wall 12 of the console box body 10 (see FIG. 2). When assembled in this way, the striker 60 of the locking device 40 corresponds to the recessed hole 32 of the lid 30 in the closed state (can be advanced into the recessed hole 32 by the bias of the compression spring 64).

  Further, when assembled in this way, the knob 70 of the locking device 40 corresponds to the operation hole 20a of the flange 20 of the console box body 10 (can be pushed in from the operation hole 20a). Further, when assembled in this way, both pressing portions 84 of the stopper 80 of the locking device 40 correspond to the both insertion holes 20b of the flange 20 of the console box body 10 (the pressing from both insertion holes 20b). Possible).

  Then, with reference to FIGS. 6-9, operation | movement of the locking device 40 of the console box 1 mentioned above is demonstrated. This locking device 40 is also provided in the console box body 10 in a state where the lid 30 closes the opening 10a of the console box body 10 (see FIG. 1, the lid 30 is closed), as in the lock device 240 of the prior art. The striker 60 advances toward the concave hole 32 formed in the lid 30 (from the advance / retreat hole 12a of the console box body 10) by the urging force of the compression spring 64 (see FIG. 6).

  Thereby, the locking device 40 can be locked. That is, the lid 30 can be locked with respect to the console box body 10. At this time, as is clear from FIG. 7, both pins 34 a of the lid 30 with the opening 10 a closed close the stopper 80 against the urging force of both compression springs 86 through the insertion holes 20 b of the console box body 10. The both pressing portions 84 are pressed.

  Further, when the knob 70 provided on the console box body 10 is operated against the urging force of the compression spring 74 from the locked state of the locking device 40, the striker 60 is moved by the relative sliding of both the tapered portions 62 and 72. The lid 30 retreats against the biasing force of the compression spring 64 (toward the advance / retreat hole 12a of the console box body 10) from the recessed hole 32 (see FIG. 8). Thereby, the lock device 40 can be unlocked. That is, the lock of the lid 30 with respect to the console box body 10 can be released. Therefore, the lid 30 can be opened (see FIG. 2).

  When the lid 30 is opened in this manner, as is clear from FIG. 9, the pressing of the both pressing portions 84 of the stopper 80 by both the pins 34 a of the lid 30 is eliminated. 80 will rise. Then, the engaging portion 82 of the raised stopper 80 is fitted into the engaging groove 66 of the striker 60. Therefore, the striker 60 is held in a state of retreating from the concave hole 32 of the lid 30 against the urging force of the compression spring 64 (a state of retreating to the insertion hole 20b of the console box body 10).

  When the lid 30 is returned to the closed state from the open state of the lid 30 shown in FIG. 2, both pins 34 a of the lid 30 returned to the closed state are stopped via the insertion holes 20 b of the console box body 10. Both pressing portions 84 are pressed against each other. Then, the stopper 80 descends against the urging force of the compression spring 86 by this pressing. Thereby, the fitting of the engaging portion 82 of the stopper 80 with respect to the engaging groove 66 of the striker 60 is eliminated.

  This description corresponds to “removal of fitting of the stopper to the striker is performed in accordance with the returning operation of the opened lid to the closed state” described in the claims. Therefore, the striker 60 advances toward the concave hole 32 of the lid 30 (from the advance / retreat hole 12a of the console box body 10) by the biasing force of the compression spring 64. Therefore, the lid 30 can be locked with respect to the console box body 10. That is, the lock device 40 can be returned to the locked state (see FIG. 6).

  The locking device 40 of the lid 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above. According to this configuration, the locking device 40 includes at least the striker 60, the knob 70, and the stopper 80 described above. When the stopper 80 is provided in this way, the striker 60 is moved to a state in which it has retracted from the concave hole 32 of the lid 30 against the urging force of the compression spring 64 (a state in which it has retracted into the insertion hole 20b of the console box body 10). Can hold. Therefore, when the operation of the knob 70 after the lock device 40 is unlocked due to the opening of the lid 30 is canceled (returned), the retracted striker 60 has re-entered the console box body 10 (popped out). State) will not (return). Therefore, the inside of the lid 30 (inside the console box body 10) does not look bad. As a result, the inner appearance when the lid 30 is opened can be improved.

  Also, according to this configuration, the striker 60 is held by the stopper 80 by fitting the stopper 80 into the striker 60. Therefore, the inside appearance when the lid 30 is in the open state can be improved with a simple structure.

  Further, according to this configuration, when the lid 30 is returned from the open state to the closed state, both pins 34a of the lid 30 returned to the closed state are connected to the stopper 80 via the insertion holes 20b of the console box body 10. Both pressing portions 84 are pressed against each other. Then, the stopper 80 descends against the urging force of the compression spring 86 by this pressing. Thereby, the fitting of the engaging portion 82 of the stopper 80 with respect to the engaging groove 66 of the striker 60 is eliminated. Therefore, the return of this fitting can be easily performed.

(Example 2)
Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the console box 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the stopper 80 is assembled to the base 50 via the receiving portion 54 so as to be movable up and down (slidable in the vertical direction). On the other hand, in the console box 101 according to the second embodiment to be described, the stopper 180 is assembled to the base 150 through the receiving portion 154 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction.

  The lock device 140 includes a base 150, a striker 160, a knob 170, a stopper 180, and pressing bodies 184 and 194 that are paired on the left and right sides (see FIGS. 12 to 13). A striker 160 is assembled to the base 150 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction via the insertion hole 152. At this time, the striker 160 is assembled via the compression spring 164. Therefore, the striker 160 is always urged from the advance / retreat hole 12a of the console box body 10 in the advance direction (rearward direction). Of course, the slide amount of the striker 160 is regulated so that the striker 160 does not fall out (completely come out) from the advance / retreat hole 12a.

  The base 150 is assembled with a pair of knobs 170 that can be slidably moved in the left-right direction. At this time, the knob 170 is assembled via the compression spring 174. Therefore, the knobs 170 are always urged toward the direction in which they approach each other. Of course, the sliding amount of the knob 170 is regulated so that the knob 170 does not fall out (completely come off) from the base 150. The pair of left and right tapered portions 162 formed on the striker 160 and the tapered portion 172 formed on the knob 170 are relatively slidable.

  Therefore, when the knob 170 is operated against the urging force of the compression spring 174 (operation to push the knob 170), the striker 160 retreats toward the advance / retreat hole 12a against the urging force of the compression spring 164 (in the forward direction). Slide towards). An engagement groove 166 is formed on the side surface of the striker 160. A taper portion 166 a is formed at the entrance of the engagement groove 166.

  A pressing body 184 is assembled to the left side of the base 150 so as to be movable up and down (slidable in the vertical direction) via a left receiving portion 154. In addition, the taper part (not shown) formed in this stopper 180 and the taper part (not shown) formed in the pressing body 184 are relatively slidable. Therefore, when the pressing body 184 is pressed, the stopper 180 retreats against the urging force of the compression spring 186 (slides in the left direction).

  In addition, a pressing body 194 is assembled to the right side of the base 150 so as to be movable up and down (slidable in the vertical direction) via a right receiving portion 154. At this time, the pressing body 194 is assembled via the compression spring 190. For this reason, the pressing body 194 is always urged upward.

  The lock device 140 includes the base 150, the striker 160, the knob 170, the stopper 180, and the pressing bodies 184 and 194 that are paired on the left and right. The base 150 of the lock device 140 configured as described above is assembled to the outer surface of the front wall 12 of the console box body 10 (see FIG. 11). When assembled in this way, the striker 160 of the locking device 140 corresponds to the recessed hole 32 of the lid 30 in the closed state (can be advanced into the recessed hole 32 by the bias of the compression spring 164). Further, when assembled in this way, the pressing bodies 184 and 194 of the locking device 140 correspond to the both insertion holes 20b of the flange 20 of the console box body 10 (can be pressed from both insertion holes 20b).
