As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the support shaft 20 is arranged in the lower portion of the box body 12 in the left-right direction through the left and right cylindrical portions 18a and 18a of the bearing portion 18. The support shaft 20 supports a pair of arms 14, 14 by one (independently). The support shaft 20 may have a portion held by the bearing portion 18 (cylindrical portion 18a) formed at least in a columnar shape, and the support shaft 20 of the embodiment has a columnar shape as a whole. In this way, the support shaft 20 may have cylindrical portions corresponding to the left and right cylindrical portions 18a and 18a in the bearing portion 18. The support shaft 20 may have a shape other than a columnar shape such as a quadrangular prism or a triangular prism as long as the portion of the bearing portion 18 corresponding to the wall portion 18b does not interfere with the wall portion 18b. Further, if the rigidity of the support shaft 20 can be ensured, a lightening portion may be provided in a part of the portion of the support shaft 20 corresponding to the wall portion 18b. The support shaft 20 may be formed from a single material such as a metal or a synthetic resin, or may be formed by combining a plurality of materials such as a metal or a synthetic resin. Even if the support shaft 20 is one (one) structure made of a single material as in the embodiment, one support shaft 20 is formed by combining and integrating a plurality of parts made of the same or different materials. It may be a structure of (1) or any of them.

The arm 14 is held by the fixtures 28 and 32 attached to the support shaft 20 and is connected to the support shaft 20. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a bolt 28 as a fixture is screwed into the screw hole 26 opened in the end surface 20a of the support shaft 20 via the arm 14 to form a head 28a of the bolt 28. The support shaft 20 and the arm 14 are connected with the arm 14 sandwiched between the end surface 20a. In the example of FIG. 8, the bolt 28 is screwed into the screw hole 26 provided in the support shaft 20 to attach the arm 14 to the support shaft 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 9, the end face 20a of the support shaft 20 is attached. The arm 14 may be attached to the support shaft 20 by fitting the nut 32 as an attachment to the screw shaft 30 protruding from the screw shaft 30. In the example of FIG. 9, the nut 32 is fitted to the screw shaft 30 protruding through the arm 14, the arm 14 is sandwiched between the nut 32 and the end surface 20a, and the support shaft 20 and the arm 14 are connected. is doing. When the support shaft 20 and the arm 14 are connected by a fixture such as a bolt 28 or a nut 32 in this way, workability is good and the support shaft 20 and the arm 14 can be separated after being assembled.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the arm 14 is supported by a fixture such as a bolt 28 or a nut 32 screwed to the support shaft 20 with both inner and outer sides sandwiched between washers 34 and 36. It is connected with 20. As the washers 34 and 36, for example, flat washers made of metal harder than the arm 14 made of synthetic resin can be used. The inner washer 34 arranged between the arm 14 and the end surface 20a of the support shaft 20 has a size equal to or larger than the end surface 20a of the support shaft 20. As the inner washer 34 of the embodiment, a washer 34 having a support shaft 20 larger than the end face 20a facing the arm 14 is used. As shown in FIG. 8, the outer washer 36 arranged between the arm 14 and the head 28a of the bolt 28 has a size equal to or larger than the head 28a. As the outer washer 36 of FIG. 8, a bolt 28 larger than the head 28a facing the arm 14 is used. As shown in FIG. 9, the outer washer 36 arranged between the arm 14 and the nut 32 has a size of the nut 32 or more. The outer washer 36 of FIG. 9 is larger than the nut 28. As described above, the outer washer 36 of the embodiment is arranged so as to be larger than the portion of the fixtures 28 and 32 facing the arm 14 (head 28a or nut 32 itself). Here, the washers 34 and 36 may be as large as possible as long as they do not interfere with the mating member, but it is preferable that the washers 34 and 36 are smaller than the dimensions of the arm 14 from the viewpoint of workability and appearance.

As shown in FIGS. 8 (b) and 9 (b), the support shaft 20 has an end surface 20a facing the arm 14 more than an end surface facing the arm 14 in the cylindrical portion 18a of the bearing portion 18. It is configured to project outward (arm 14 side). As described above, in the shaft structure according to the embodiment, the arm 14 (inner washer 34) and the cylinder facing the arm 14 are arranged so that the end surface 20a of the support shaft 20 projects outward from the outer end surface of the cylindrical portion 18a. It is configured so that there is a slight gap between the portion 18a and the outer end surface. The support shaft 20 of the embodiment is provided with a fastening hole 21 at the center in the left-right direction (see FIG. 8A). When attaching the bolt 28 or nut 32 to the support shaft 20, a jig is inserted into the fastening hole 21 to prevent the support shaft 20 from rotating together.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the arm 14 includes a first arm portion 14a that extends linearly from a lower end portion (one end portion) connected to the support shaft 20, and a support shaft 20 that extends rearward from the first arm portion 14a. It is provided with a second arm portion 14b extending in an arc shape centered on the lid base 22 and connected to the lid base 22. A tension spring 38 is installed so as to bridge between the right arm 14 and the right surface of the box body 12 (see FIGS. 4 (a), 5 (a), and 6). The lower end of the tension spring 38 is connected to a bent portion of the arm 14 that bends from the first arm portion 14a to the second arm portion 14b, and the upper end portion thereof is on the front side (opposite side of the entrance / exit 12a) of the lower end portion. It is connected to the front part of the right side surface of the box body 12. Further, the right arm 14 is braked by the rotary damper 40 to control the speed of posture displacement. In the embodiment, the rotary damper 40 provided on the right side surface of the box body 12 meshes with the rack portion 14ba formed on the second arm portion 14b of the right arm 14. In the embodiment, the tension spring 38 and the rotary damper 40 are not installed corresponding to the left arm 14. Here, the left and right arms 14, 14 are set so as not to interfere with the box body 12, and the arms 14 are not affected by anything other than the tension spring 38 and the rotary damper 40 when the lid 16 is displaced.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the intermediate posture between the closed posture (see FIG. 4 (a)) and the open posture (see FIG. 5 (a)) of the lid 16, the tension spring 38 is on the extension line of the axis L. It is configured to be in the first state through which the center of the support shaft 20 passes. In the first state of the tension spring 38, the connection portion of the tension spring 38 to the box body 12, the coil portion of the tension spring 38, the connection portion of the tension spring 38 to the arm 14, and the axial center of the support shaft 20 are aligned. They are lined up. On the other hand, the tension spring 38 is configured to be in a second state that extends more than the first state between the midway posture and the open posture of the lid 16 and between the halfway posture and the closed posture. As described above, the tension spring 38 is set to be most contracted in the first state and to be extended as the lid 16 moves from the intermediate posture to the closed posture or the open posture. The tension spring 38 of the embodiment is set to a length in which tension is applied to the extent that there is no rattling in the first state, but the tension spring 38 is set to an initial length that is not extended in the first state. It may be set. Then, the arm 14 is provided with elasticity toward the closed posture by the tension spring 38 in a posture other than the first posture of the lid 16.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, locking portions 42 are provided on each of the left and right arms 14, 14. The locking portion 42 of the right arm 14 is provided so as to extend outward in the radial direction from the root portion of the second arm portion 14b connected to the first arm portion 14a (FIG. 4 (a), FIG. 5 (a) and FIG. 6). The locking portion 42 of the left arm 14 is composed of a round screw screwed from the outside of the left arm 14 toward the box body 12 at an intermediate position of the first arm portion 14a (FIG. 4B). , FIG. 5 (b), FIG. 7 and FIG. 11). Further, a locking receiving portion 44 is provided corresponding to each of the locking portions 42 provided on the left and right arms 14. The locking receiving portion 44 on the right side is provided at the rear portion of the right side surface of the box body 12 (on the side of the entrance / exit 12a). Further, the left locking receiving portion 44 is provided near the opening edge of the front leg shield FS through which the left arm 14 of the box body 12 passes. In the locking portion 42 of the left arm 14, the shaft portion of the round screw protruding inward of the arm 14 is hooked on the locking receiving portion 44 on the left side (see FIG. 11).

A locking portion 42 made of a hard synthetic resin and a cushioning material 46 softer than the locking receiving portion 44 are attached to the locking receiving portion 44 on the right side. The cushioning material 46 may be a flexible foam such as a polyurethane foam or a rubber foam, a non-foamed rubber, or a fibrous material such as felt. On the other hand, the cushioning material 46 is not attached to the locking receiving portion 44 on the left side and the locking portion 42 on the left side. As described above, in the embodiment, in one of the paired pair of the locking portion 42 and the locking receiving portion 44, the cushioning material 46 is provided on at least one of the locking portion 42 and the locking receiving portion 44. ..

As shown in FIG. 5A, in the storage box 10, the cushioning material 46 provided in the locking receiving portion 44 on the right side hits the locking portion 42 in the open posture of the lid 16. At this time, the locking portion 42 on the left side and the locking receiving portion 44 on the left side are arranged at intervals (see FIG. 5B). Then, when the right locking portion 42 crushes the cushioning material 46 and approaches the right locking receiving portion 44, the movement is restricted by the locking receiving portion 44, and the left locking portion 42 is locked on the left side. The movement is regulated by the portion 44, and the posture displacement of the lid 16 beyond the open posture is regulated.

In the storage box 10, a pair of left and right arms 14, 14 and a support shaft 20 to which the left and right arms 14, 14 are connected at both ends, and a lid 16 provided between the left and right arms 14, 14 are connected in a row. A quadrangular structure is formed. By forming such a structure, the rigidity of the arm 14 can be improved, and the rattling of the lid 16 can be suppressed. In this way, the storage box 10 can secure the rigidity of the arm 14 by linking the support shaft 20 and the arm 14, so that when the lid 16 is opened, the arm 14 interferes with the box body 12 to cause the lid. It is not necessary to have a structure that suppresses the rattling of 16. By configuring the arm 14 so that it does not interfere with the box body 12 when the lid 16 is opened and closed, the lid 16 can be opened and closed smoothly, and the texture can be improved. In particular, when the lid 16 is configured to open naturally due to its own weight, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of problems such as the lid 16 stopping in the middle.

When the lid base 22 and the arm 14 are integrally molded, the molding shrinkage tends to occur so that the left and right arms 14 approach each other due to the influence of insufficient cooling or the like. Even in this case, the distance between the left and right arms 14 can be corrected by the support shaft 20, and interference between the arm 14 and the bearing portion 18 and interference between the arm 14 and the box body 12 can be prevented. Further, by arranging the washers 34 and 36 between the support shaft 20 and the arm 14 and between the arm 14 and the fixtures 28 and 32, the distance between the left and right arms 14 can be corrected, and the distance between the left and right arms 14 can be corrected. It is possible to prevent interference with the bearing portion 18 and interference between the arm 14 and the box body 12. As described above, according to the storage box 10 of the present disclosure, since the molding shrinkage of the arm 14 does not easily affect the opening / closing performance of the lid 16, it is necessary to take measures such as extending the cycle time in order to suppress the molding shrinkage. It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost by shortening the cycle time and the like.

Regarding the shaft structure of the example and the shaft structure of the comparative example, it was analyzed how much the lid 16 is displaced when a load is applied to the lid 16 in the open posture in the left-right direction (lateral direction). Since the shaft structure of the embodiment has a configuration with reference to FIG. 8, description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 12, the shaft structure of the comparative example is the head of a bolt 50 in which the arm 14 is fitted to the bearing portion 48 provided in the box body 12 and screwed into the screw hole 48a formed in the bearing portion 48. The arm 14 is prevented from coming off at 50a. Other conditions, such as the structure of the lid 16, are the same as in the examples and the comparative examples. As shown in FIG. 12, it can be seen that in the axial structure of the embodiment, the lateral displacement of the lid 16 in the open posture is smaller than that of the comparative example.

The storage box 10 is configured such that each of the end faces 20a of the support shaft 20 facing the arm 14 projects outward from the outer end face of the cylindrical portion 18a of the bearing portion 18. As a result, a gap is formed between the arm 14 (inner washer 34) whose posture changes so as to rotate around the bearing portion 18 (cylindrical portion 18a) and the outer end surface of the bearing portion 18, and the bearing portion 18 It is possible to prevent the arm 14 (inner washer 34) from rubbing against each other. Therefore, since the sliding contact resistance between the arm 14 and the bearing portion 18 can be suppressed, the lid 16 can be smoothly opened and closed. Here, since the inside of the arm 14 is supported by the end surface of the support shaft 20 and the inner washer 34, the arm 14 (inner washer 34) is placed on the outer end surface of the bearing portion 18 even if the arm 14 falls inward due to molding shrinkage or the like. It is possible to prevent rubbing against each other.

In the storage box 10 of the embodiment, the left and right arms 14, 14 are screwed to the support shaft 20 in a state of being sandwiched between the washers 34, 36 from both sides. By sandwiching the arm 14 with washers 34 and 36 from both sides in this way, the connection between the support shaft 20 and the arm 14 becomes stronger, and the rigidity of the arm 14 can be further improved. Then, by making the inner washer 34 larger than the end surface 20a of the support shafts 20 facing each other, it is possible to increase the pseudo contact surface between the end surface 20a and the arm 14. Further, by making the outer washer 36 larger than the head 28a and the nut 32 of the bolt 28 facing each other, it is possible to increase the pseudo contact surface between the head 28a and the nut 32 of the bolt 28 and the arm 14. As a result, the degree of coordination between the support shaft 20 and the arm 14 as a structure can be increased, and the rigidity of the arm 14 can be improved.

In the storage box 10, the tension spring 38 installed so as to be bridged between the right arm 14 and the right side surface of the box body 12 is in the first state in which the lid 16 is most contracted in the middle posture. Further, the storage box 10 is configured so that the tension spring 38 is in the second state in which the tension spring 38 is extended from the first state between the intermediate posture and the open posture of the lid 16 and between the intermediate posture and the closed posture. As a result, when the lid 16 moves from the closed posture to the open posture, the tension spring 38 changes from the extended state to the most contracted state at the initial stage when the lid 16 starts to open, thereby assisting the lid 16 to open smoothly. be able to. Then, when the lid 16 is turned downward and a large amount of its own weight is applied beyond the midway posture, the tension spring 38 is extended toward the closed posture, so that the lid 16 is decelerated. It can prevent it from opening vigorously. Thereby, the texture when the lid 16 is opened can be improved. Further, when the lid 16 moves from the open posture to the closed posture, the tension spring 38 contracts from the extended state at the initial stage when the lid 16 starts to be closed, so that the burden on the user who supports the lid 16 can be reduced. Then, just before the lid 16 goes into the closed posture beyond the midway posture, the tension spring 38 changes from the contracted state to the extended state, so that the lid 16 can be closed slowly. Thereby, the texture when the lid 16 is closed can be improved.

When the lid 16 is in the open position, the storage box 10 receives the locking portion 42 on the right side with the cushioning material 46 softer than the locking portion 42 and the locking receiving portion 44, so that the lid 16 may bounce. , It is possible to prevent the occurrence of collision noise. Therefore, the storage box 10 can prevent the generation of abnormal noise when the lid 16 is in the open posture, and can improve the texture by stopping the lid 16 slowly instead of stopping at once. Then, even if a force for further opening the lid 16 is exerted beyond the opening posture, the movement of the lid 16 is restricted to the locking receiving portions 44, 44 in which the left and right locking portions 42, 42 form a pair, respectively. As a result, the lid 16 is restricted from moving from the left and right in a well-balanced manner, so that the rigidity can be improved against an over-opening force.

The arm 14 has a first arm portion 14a that extends linearly from a lower end portion (one end portion) connected to the support shaft 20, and a lid that extends rearward from the first arm portion 14a in an arc shape centered on the support shaft 20. It is provided with a second arm portion 14b connected to the base 22. In this way, by forming the second arm portion 14b in an arc shape centered on the support shaft 20, the opening 11 for passing the second arm portion 14b formed on the lateral side of the box body 12 (see FIG. 10). ) Can be minimized. The smaller the opening 11, the better the appearance, which is preferable.
