  The front end portion of the second right rod 52 when the lid 20 is in the closed state and the button portion 55a of the right operation unit 55 is not pressed to the left, and when the lid 20 is in the left open state Projects forward of the front end of the main body of the lid 20 and engages with the front base 14 of the box body 10. Further, at this time, the rear end portion of the first right side rod 51 protrudes rearward than the rear end of the arm member 32 and engages with the rear base 13 of the box main body 10 via the arm member 32. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a right locked state.

  The front end portion of the second right rod 52 is the lid 20 when the button portion 55a of the right operation portion 55 is pressed to the left in the above-described right locked state and the lid 20 is in the right open state. By being positioned rearward of the front end of the main body of the above and entering the lid 20, the engagement between the second right rod 52 and the front base 14 is released. Further, at this time, the rear end portion of the first right rod 51 is positioned in front of the rear end of the arm member 32 by the right rotation of the right side synchronization device 53 and enters the arm member 32. And the rear base 13 are disengaged. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a right unlocked state.

  The lock unit 39 also has a transmission rod 60. The transmission rod 60 is a member that prevents the other from changing from the locked state to the unlocked state when either the left lock device 40 or the right lock device 50 is in the unlocked state. The transmission rod 60 extends in the left-right direction. The transmission rod 60 is supported movably in the left-right direction along a guide 61 provided on the lower lid 21 of the lid 20.

  The right end of the transmission rod 60 is supported at the front of the right side synchronization device 53. When the second right rod 52 moves rearward and the first right rod 51 moves forward, the transmission rod 60 moves to the right by the right rotation of the right synchronizer 53, and then the second right rod 52. Moves forward and when the first right rod 51 moves backward, the right synchronization device 53 moves leftward to move leftward.

  The left end of the transmission rod 60 is a free end. An engagement hole 62 is provided on the left end side of the transmission rod 60. The engagement holes 62 pass through the transmission rod 60 in the front-rear direction. An engagement protrusion 42 a provided on the second left rod 42 is engageable with the engagement hole 62. In the closed state of the lid 20 (that is, the left locked state and the right locked state), the engagement convex portion 42 a does not engage with the engagement hole 62. At this time, the engagement convex portion 42 a faces the engagement hole 62 at the front position of the engagement hole 62.

  On the other hand, in the left unlocked state, the second left rod 42 moves rearward, so the engagement convex portion 42 a engages with the engagement hole 62. In this engaged state, movement of the transmission rod 60 in the lateral direction is restricted, and therefore movement of the first and second right rods 51, 52 in the longitudinal direction is restricted, and the right locking device 50 is locked in the right direction. The release state is blocked. Further, in the right unlocked state, the second right rod 52 moves rearward, so the transmission rod 60 moves to the right, and the engagement projection 42 a is adjacent to the left side of the engagement hole 62 of the transmission rod 60. It faces end 60a in its forward position. In this facing state, the engagement convex portion 42a abuts on the end portion 60a of the transmission rod 60 to restrict the movement of the first and second left rods 41 and 42 in the front-rear direction, so the left locking device 40 is prevented from entering the left unlocked state.

  The opening and closing mechanism 30 also has a flap device 70. The flap device 70 has a left flap device 71 and a right flap device 72. The left flap device 71 is disposed on the left front side of the lid 20. The left flap device 71 is engageable with the left locking device 40. The left flap device 71 is a device that keeps the left locking device 40 in the left unlocked state when the lid 20 is in the left opened state, that is, when the right locked state and the left unlocked state. Further, the right side flap device 72 is disposed on the right front side of the lid 20. The right flap device 72 is engageable with the right locking device 50. The right flap device 72 is a device that maintains the right locking device 50 in the right unlocked state when the lid 20 is in the right opened state, that is, in the left locked state and the right unlocked state.

Next, the operation of the double-opening storage device 1 will be described.
In the double-opening storage device 1, in the closed state of the lid 20, the second left rod 42 protrudes forward more than the front end of the main body of the lid 20, and the first left rod 41 backwards than the rear end of the main body of the lid 20. , The second right side rod 52 projects further forward than the front end of the main body of the lid 20, and the first right side rod 51 projects further rearward than the rear end of the main body of the lid 20 and further than the rear end of the arm member 32. It projects backwards. In this case, the first left rod 41 disposed on the lid 20 engages with the arm member 32, and the second left rod 42 and the second right rod 52 engage with the front base 14 of the box body 10. Since the first right side rod 51 engages with the rear base 13 of the box body 10 via the arm member 32, the closed state in which the lid 20 closes the opening 11 of the box body 10 is maintained.

  When the button portion 45a of the left operation portion 45 is pushed rightward in the closed state of the lid 20 described above, the mechanism portion 45b abuts on the front end of the second left rod 42, and the second left rod 42 is moved backward. Move to When the second left rod 42 moves rearward, the left synchronizer 43 rotates counterclockwise to move the first left rod 41 forward. When the rearward movement of the second left rod 42 is performed until the engagement with the front base 14 of the box body 10 is released and the forward movement of the first left rod 41 is performed until the disengagement with the arm member 32, When the first and second right rods 51 and 52 are engaged with the box body 10 (that is, the right locking state of the right locking device 50), the left locking device 40 is in the left unlocked state. In this case, the closed state is maintained for the right side of the lid 20, and the closed state holding for the left side of the lid 20 is released.

  In the left locking device 40, the engagement release between the second left rod 42 and the front base 14 of the box body 10 and the engagement release between the first left rod 41 and the arm member 32 are performed at substantially the same timing. It is desirable to be configured to

  When the closed state of the lid 20 is released, the lid 20 pivots relative to the arm member 32 by the biasing force of the arm spring 35R of the right pivot 33R. Further, when the closed state is maintained for the right side of the lid 20, the arm member 32 does not swing relative to the rear base 13 of the box body 10. Therefore, when the button 45a of the left operation unit 45 is pressed to the right, the lid 20 is moved to the arm member 32 and thus the box body with the arm member 32 integrated with the box body 10. It rotates about the second rotation axis on the right with respect to 10. Thereby, the left side of the lid 20 is opened toward the open position.

When the second right rod 52 moves rearward, the right synchronizer 53 rotates clockwise, whereby the first right rod 51 moves forward. The backward movement of the second right rod 52 is performed until the engagement with the front base 14 of the box body 10 is released, and the forward movement of the first right rod 51 is engaged until the engagement of the box body 10 with the rear base 13 When the first and second left rods 41 and 42 engage with the front base 14 or the arm member 32 of the box body 10 (that is, the left locking state of the left locking device 40), the right locking device 50 locks right It will be released. In this case, the closed state is maintained for the left side of the lid 20, and the closed state is released for the right side of the lid 20.

  In the right locking device 50, the engagement release between the second right side rod 52 and the front base 14 of the box body 10 and the engagement release between the first right side rod 51 and the rear base 13 of the box body 10 are substantially the same. It is desirable to be configured to be implemented at timing.

  When the closed state of the lid 20 is released, the arm member 32 swings relative to the rear base 13 of the box body 10 by the biasing force of the arm spring 35L of the left pivot 33L. In addition, when the closed state is maintained on the left side of the lid 20, the lid 20 does not swing with respect to the arm member 32. Therefore, when the button portion 55a of the right operation portion 55 is pressed to the left, the first rotation shaft on the left side with respect to the box main body 10 with the lid 20 integrated with the arm member 32. Rotate around the Thereby, the right side of the lid 20 is opened toward the open position.
