The flap has a protrusion that can come into contact with the container when the lid is opened or closed. When the protrusion comes into contact with the container when the lid is closed from one of the open positions, the protrusion is lifted upward and the flap swings about the rotation axis. When such rocking occurs, the contact position between the flap and the rod changes, so that the rod is no longer restricted from protruding into the engagement position. When such release is performed, the rod protrudes to the protruding position and engages with the container 10. When the rod engages the container 10, the lid is locked in the closed position.

The protruding portion of the flap described above is exposed to the outside of the lid body in order to ensure contact with the container. With this structure, the protruding part of the flap can be touched by a vehicle occupant, especially if the vehicle occupant accidentally touches the protruding part of the flap when the lid body is in the right-hand open position or the left-hand open position. There is a risk that the touched side of the lid body will not be locked in the closed position due to malfunction.

The button part 55a is biased rightward with respect to the front base 14 by a spring (not shown), and is flush with the right side wall of the front base 14 when the operator is not pressing it to the left. It is maintained as follows. The button part 55a is moved to the left relative to the front base part 14 against the biasing force of the spring by a pressing operation by the operator.

The mechanism portion 55b is in contact with the front end of the second right rod 52. The button part 55a and the mechanism part 55b are in contact with each other at their inclined surfaces. In a state in which the button part 55a is not pressed leftward, that is, in a state in which the button part 55a is flush with the right side wall of the front base 14, the mechanism part 55b is at the initial position. On the other hand, when the button part 55a is pressed leftward, the mechanism part 55b moves the second right rod 52 backward so as to enter into the lid body 20 against the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54. . When the second right rod 52 moves rearward, the right synchronizer 53 rotates clockwise, causing the first right rod 51 to move forward.

When the lid 20 is in the closed position and the button part 55a of the right operation part 55 is not pressed to the left, or when the lid 20 is in the left open position, the front end of the second right rod 52 protrudes forward from the front end of the main body of the lid 20 and engages with the front base 14 of the container 10. Further, at this time, the rear end of the first right rod 51 projects further rearward than the rear end of the hinge member 32, passes through the hinge member 32, and engages with the rear base 13 of the container 10. . Hereinafter, this state will be referred to as a right-locked state.

Further, when the button part 55a of the right side operation part 55 is pressed to the left when the lid body 20 is in the closed position, the front end of the second right rod 52 is located behind the front end of the main body of the lid body 20. By entering into the lid body 20, the engagement between the second right rod 52 and the front base 14 is released. Also, at this time, the rear end of the first right rod 51 is positioned forward of the rear end of the hinge member 32 and enters into the hinge member 32 due to the right rotation of the right synchronizer 53, so that the first right rod 51 The engagement between the rear base portion 13 and the rear base portion 13 is released. Hereinafter, this state will be referred to as the right lock release state. In addition, in the right side locking device 50, the disengagement between the second right rod 52 and the front base 14 of the container 10 and the disengagement between the first right rod 51 and the rear base 13 of the container 10 are substantially the same. It is desirable that the configuration is such that it is performed at the right time.

The transmission rod 60 is a member that prevents the other one of the left locking device 40 and the right locking device 50 from changing from the locked state to the unlocked state when either one is in the unlocked state. . The transmission rod 60 extends in the left-right direction and is supported so as to be movable in the left-right direction along a guide 61 provided on the inner lid member 21 of the lid body 20. The transmission rod 60 is configured such that its right end is supported by the front of the right synchronizer 53 and its left end is a free end. The transmission rod 60 moves to the right when the right synchronizer 53 rotates to the right, and moves to the left when the right synchronizer 53 rotates to the left.

An engagement hole 62 is provided on the left end side of the transmission rod 60 and extends through the transmission rod 60 in the front-rear direction. An engagement convex portion 42 a integrally provided on the second left rod 42 can be engaged with this engagement hole 62 . As shown in FIG. 6, when the lid body 20 is in the closed position (that is, the left lock state and the right lock state), the engagement protrusion 42a is not engaged with the engagement hole 62, and the engagement protrusion 42a is not engaged with the engagement hole 62, It faces the engagement hole 62 at this position.

On the other hand, when the second left rod 42 moves rearward from the closed position of the lid 20 and the lid 20 enters the left unlocked state, the engagement protrusion 42a engages with the engagement hole 62, as shown in FIG. do. Therefore, in the left lock release state, the transmission rod 60 is restricted from moving in the left-right direction, so the first and second right rods 51 and 52 are restricted from moving in the front-rear direction, and the right locking device 50 is restricted from moving in the front-back direction. is prevented from entering the right lock release state.

Furthermore, when the second right rod 52 moves rearward from the closed position of the lid 20 and the lid 20 enters the right unlocked state, the transmission rod 60 moves to the right and engages the engagement protrusion, as shown in FIG. The portion 42a faces the end 60a of the transmission rod 60 at a position in front of the end 60a adjacent to the left side of the engagement hole 62 of the transmission rod 60. In this facing state, even if the first and second left rods 41 and 42 move in the front-rear direction, the engagement convex portion 42a contacts the end portion 60a of the transmission rod 60. Therefore, in the right unlocked state, the first and second left rods 41 and 42 are restricted from moving in the front-rear direction, and the left locking device 40 is prevented from being in the left unlocked state.

The flap device 70 is a device that comes into contact with a corresponding rod when the left side or right side of the lid body 20 is open, and restricts the protrusion of the rod to the engagement position. The flap device 70 includes a left flap device 71 and a right flap device 72.

The left flap device 71 is a device that maintains the left lock device 40 in the left unlocked state when the lid body 20 is in the right locked state and the left unlocked state, that is, in the left open position. The left flap device 71 is disposed on the left front side of the lid body 20 and can engage with the left lock device 40. Further, the right side flap device 72 is a device that maintains the right side lock device 50 in the right unlocked state when the lid body 20 is in the left locked state and the right unlocked state, that is, in the right open position. The right flap device 72 is disposed on the right front side of the lid body 20 and can be engaged with the right lock device 50.

The left flap device 71 and the right flap device 72 have the same structure. Therefore, below, the flap device 70 will be explained using the right side flap device 72 as an example. The right flap device 72 includes a flap 73, a rotating shaft body 74, and a biasing member 75, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

The flap 73 is a long plate extending in the front-rear direction. The flap 73 has a protruding portion 73a and a rod abutting portion 73b. The protruding portion 73a is a portion exposed to the outside of the lid body 20 in the front-rear direction. The protrusion 73a is provided at the front end of the flap 73. The protruding portion 73a extends in the front-rear direction and projects further forward than the lid body 20 (specifically, the accommodation space for the inner lid member 21). The protrusion 73a can come into contact with the container 10 on its lower surface. The rod contact portion 73b is a portion that can come into contact with the flap contact portion 52f of the second right rod 52. The rod contact portion 73b is provided at the rear end of the flap 73. The flap contact portion 52f has an inclined surface that slopes rearward from the upper part to the lower part.

The rotating shaft body 74 is a portion that becomes the rotation center (swing center) of the flap 73. The rotating shaft body 74 is provided at the center of the flap 73 and protrudes in the left-right direction from both left and right ends of the flap 73, respectively. The rotating shaft body 74 is supported by the lid body 20. The flap 73 can swing like a seesaw around the rotating shaft body 74.

The biasing member 75 generates a biasing force that causes the flap 73 to swing (tilt) so that the protruding portion 73a is located on the lower side and the rod contact portion 73b is located on the upper side. One end of the biasing member 75 is supported by the flap 73. The other end of the biasing member 75 is supported by the lid 20. The biasing force generated by the biasing member 75 is larger than the biasing force generated by the right rod biasing member 54.

When the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 is not in contact with the container 10, as shown in FIG. in one swing position. In this case, the position of the second right rod 52 is regulated against the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54 by the upper part of the flap contact portion 52f contacting the rod contact portion 73b, and the second right rod 52 is regulated in position against the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54. has entered the body of. That is, when the protruding portion 73a of the flap 73 is not in contact with the container 10, the second right rod 52 and the first right rod 51 are respectively located at the released position where the tips thereof do not protrude from the lid body 20.

On the other hand, when the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 is in contact with the container 10, as shown in FIG. is in the second swing position. In this case, the second right rod 52 is moved forward by the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54 when the lower part of the flap contact portion 52f contacts the rod contact portion 73b, and is moved forward relative to the lid body 20. stand out. Further, at the same time as the second right rod 52 moves forward, the first right rod 51 moves rearward and protrudes rearward beyond the rear end of the hinge member 32. That is, when the protruding portion 73a of the flap 73 is in contact with the container 10, the second right rod 52 and the first right rod 51 are respectively located in the engagement position where their tips protrude from the lid body 20, It engages with the container 10.

When the protruding portion 73a abuts the container 10 during the process in which the lid body 20 changes from the right side open position (including the left side closed position) to the right side closed position, the flap 73 then moves the rotating shaft body 74. Swing around the center. Due to this swinging, the protruding portion 73a is pressed against the container 10 and pushed up against the urging force of the urging member 75, and the rod contact portion 73b is pushed down. When the lid body 20 reaches the right side closed position, the swinging of the flap 73 is completed, the flap 73 becomes approximately horizontal with respect to the lid body 20, and the rod contact portion 73b abuts the flap of the second right rod 52. It comes into contact with the lower part of the contact portion 52f.

When the rod contact portion 73b contacts the lower part of the flap contact portion 52f of the second right rod 52, the second right rod 52 moves forward due to the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54 and is pushed away from the lid body 20. At the same time, the first right rod 51 moves rearward and protrudes further rearward than the rear end of the hinge member 32. Then, the respective tips of the second right rod 52 and the first right rod 51 protrude to the engagement position and engage with the container 10. Thereby, the lid body 20 is locked in the right side closed position.

By the way, when the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 is not in contact with the container 10, that is, when the lid 20 is in the right open position, the protrusion 73a is exposed to the outside of the lid 20. If the protruding portion 73a is pushed up due to an erroneous operation by a vehicle occupant while the lid body 20 is in the right-side open position as described above, there is a risk that the flap 73 may malfunction. That is, when the rod contact portion 73b comes into contact with the lower part of the flap contact portion 52f of the second right rod 52 due to the above-mentioned erroneous operation, the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54 causes the second right rod 52 and the first right rod There is a risk that the tip of the right rod 51 may protrude from the lid body 20. If this malfunction occurs, it becomes impossible to lock the lid body 20 in the right side closed position. Incidentally, a similar problem may occur when the lid body 20 is in the left open position.

Therefore, in the vehicle-mounted double door storage device 1 of this embodiment, the opening/closing mechanism 30 has a rib 31. The rib 31 has the function of guarding the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 from the outside in the front-rear direction (specifically, from the front side) to make the protrusion 73a difficult for vehicle occupants to touch. It has a function of assisting the positioning in the container 10 at the closed position.

The front wall portion 21b and the protruding wall portion 21c of the inner lid member 21 are provided with a through hole portion 21d through which the protruding portion 73a of the flap 73 passes. Two through-holes 21d are provided in the inner lid material 21, corresponding to the protrusion 73a on the left flap device 71 side and the protrusion 73a on the right flap device 72 side. Each protrusion 73a protrudes from the inside of the lid 20 to the outside through the corresponding through hole 21d, and is exposed to the outside of the front of the lid 20.

The rib 31 described above is provided on the lower surface of the front end portion of the projecting wall portion 21c of the lid body 20. The rib 31 is arranged on the outer side of the protrusion 73a in the front-rear direction, that is, on the front side. One rib 31 is provided corresponding to each protrusion 73a, and is locally provided on the lid 20. The two ribs 31 are arranged apart from each other in the left-right direction. Each rib 31 extends downward from the lower surface of the front end of the projecting wall portion 21c in a flat plate shape. Each rib 31 is preferably formed in a size such that when viewed from the front side of the rib 31, the protruding portion 73a is hidden behind the rib 31 and is not visible.

The width of each rib 31 in the left-right direction is greater than or equal to the width of the protrusion 73a in the left-right direction. The position range of each rib 31 in the left-right direction includes the position range of the protrusion 73a in the left-right direction. That is, the position of the left-right end of each rib 31 is the same as the position of the left-right end of the protrusion 73a, or is outside of that position. The lower end position of each rib 31 is preferably at the height of the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 in the first swing position or below the height.

The container 10 (specifically, the front base 14) has a recess 15. The recess 15 is a groove into which the rib 31 is inserted when the lid 20 closes the opening 11. The recess 15 is formed on the upper surface of the front base 14 so as to open upward. The same number of recesses 15 as the number of ribs 31 are provided on the front base 14 , and are formed at locations facing the corresponding ribs 31 . The two recesses 15 are spaced apart in the left-right direction in alignment with the two ribs 31.

Each recess 15 is configured such that the corresponding rib 31 can be positioned in both the left-right direction and the front-rear direction. When each rib 31 is inserted into the corresponding recess 15 , it is surrounded by a peripheral edge forming the recess 15 in the front base 14 . The peripheral edge of the front base 14 includes a portion facing the rib 31 inserted into the recess 15 in the left direction, a portion facing the rib 31 in the right direction, a portion facing the rib 31 in the front direction, and a portion facing the rib 31 in the right direction. and a portion facing the rib 31 rearwardly, and positions the rib 31 in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction.

Next, the operation of the vehicle-mounted double door storage device 1 will be explained.
In the vehicle-mounted vehicle opening storage device 1, when both the right and left sides of the lid body 20 are in the closed position, the first left rod 41 engages with the hinge member 32, and the first right rod 51 passes through the hinge member 32 and closes the storage body 10. The second left rod 42 and the second right rod 52 engage the front base 14 of the container 10 . In this case, the lid 20 is locked in a closed position that closes the opening 11 of the container 10.

When the button part 45a of the left operating part 45 is pressed to the right when both the right and left sides of the lid body 20 are in the closed position, the second left rod 42 moves rearward and the left synchronizer 43 is activated. The first left rod 41 moves forward by rotating counterclockwise. When these movements are performed until the engagement between the second left rod 42 and the front base 14 of the housing body 10 is disengaged, and when the engagement between the first left rod 41 and the hinge member 32 is disengaged, the first and second The left locking device 40 enters the left unlocked state while the right rods 51 and 52 are maintained in the engaged state with the container 10 (that is, the right locked state of the right locking device 50). As a result, the left side of the lid 20 is unlocked from the closed position while the lid 20 remains locked at the right side closed position.

When the left side closed position of the lid body 20 is unlocked, the hinge member 32 does not swing relative to the rear base 13 of the container 10, while the lid body 20 is moved by the biasing force of the arm spring 35R of the right pivot portion 33R. It swings relative to the hinge member 32. Therefore, when the button part 45a of the left operation part 45 is pressed to the right, the hinge member 32 is integrated with the container 10, and the lid body 20 is accommodated by the hinge member 32. It rotates around the right rotation axis on the right side with respect to the body 10. Thereby, the left side of the lid body 20 is opened toward the open position.

Further, when the button portion 55a of the right operating portion 55 is pressed to the left when both the right and left sides of the lid body 20 are in the closed position, the second right rod 52 moves rearward and the right synchronizer 53 rotates clockwise, and the first right rod 51 moves forward. When these movements are performed until the engagement between the second right rod 52 and the front base 14 of the container 10 is disengaged, and when the engagement between the first right rod 51 and the rear base 13 of the container 10 is released, the second right rod 52 and the rear base 13 of the container 10 are disengaged. The right locking device 50 is locked to the right while the first and second left side rods 41 and 42 are maintained engaged with the front base 14 or the hinge member 32 of the housing 10 (that is, the left locking state of the left locking device 40). It becomes a released state. As a result, the right side of the lid 20 is unlocked from the closed position while the lid 20 remains locked at the left side closed position.

When the right side closed position of the lid body 20 is unlocked, the lid body 20 does not swing relative to the hinge member 32, but the hinge member 32 is moved toward the housing body 10 by the biasing force of the arm spring 35L of the left pivot portion 33L. It swings relative to the rear base 13. Therefore, when the button portion 55a of the right operation portion 55 is pressed to the left, the left rotation axis on the left side with respect to the container 10 while the lid body 20 is integrated with the hinge member 32 is pressed. Rotates around the center. Thereby, the right side of the lid body 20 is opened toward the open position.

In this manner, in the vehicle-mounted double-opening storage device 1, the lid body 20 can be opened from the closed position where the opening 11 of the storage body 10 is closed toward the open position on the left side around the right rotation axis on the right side. It is possible to perform an opening operation around the left rotation axis on the left side toward the open position on the right side. The lid body 20 can be opened and closed selectively around either the right rotation axis or the left rotation axis.

Further, the opening/closing mechanism 30 includes a pair of rods 42 and 52 that are separated from each other in the left and right direction, and a pair of flap devices 71 and 72 (that is, a pair of flaps 73) corresponding to the left and right pair of rods 42 and 52, have.

The left flap device 71 prevents the second left rod 42 from protruding into the engagement position when the lid body 20 is in the left open position (that is, the right locked state) to maintain the left lock device 40 in the left unlocked state. let When the left side of the lid body 20 is closed and the protruding part 73a of the flap 73 comes into contact with the container 10, the protruding part 73a is pushed up and the rod abutting part 73b is pushed down. comes into contact with the lower part of the flap contact portion 42f of the second left rod 42, and the second left rod 42 moves forward by the biasing force of the left rod biasing member 44 to reach the protruding position. Thereby, when the lid 20 is in the right side closed position, the left side of the lid 20 is located in the closed position, so that the lid 20 is locked in the closed position on both the left and right sides.

Further, when the lid body 20 is in the right open position (that is, the left locked state), the right flap device 72 restricts the protrusion of the second right rod 52 to the engagement position, and moves the right lock device 50 in the right unlocked state. be maintained. When the right side of the lid body 20 is closed and the protruding part 73a of the flap 73 comes into contact with the container 10, the protruding part 73a is pushed up and the rod abutting part 73b is pushed down. comes into contact with the lower part of the flap contact portion 52f of the second right rod 52, and the second right rod 52 is moved forward by the biasing force of the right rod biasing member 54 to reach the protruding position. Thereby, when the lid 20 is in the left side closed position, the right side of the lid 20 is located in the closed position, so that the lid 20 is locked in the closed position on both the left and right sides.

In this way, in the vehicle-mounted double-opening storage device 1, when the left side or the right side of the lid body 20 is open, the flap contact portion 42f of the second left side rod 42 or the second right side rod 52 on the open side, Since the rod abutting portion 73b of the flap 73 comes into contact with the upper part of the flap 52f, the protrusion of the rods 42, 52 toward the engaged position is restricted, and at the same time, the protrusion of the rods 41, 51 toward the engaged position is restricted. be done.

When the open side of the lid body 20 comes into contact with the container 10, a flap 73 is attached to the lower part of the flap contact portions 42f and 52f of the second left rod 42 or the second right rod 52 on the open side. Since the rod abutting portion 73b abuts, the restriction on the rods 42, 52 from protruding into the engagement position is released, and at the same time, the restriction on the rods 41, 51 from protruding into the engagement position is released. , the rods 41, 42, 51, 52 can be engaged with the container 10.

Therefore, when the left side or the right side of the lid body 20 is open, the second left rod 42 or the second right rod 52 on the open side is prevented from remaining protruding into the engagement position, and the lid The inability to lock the open side of the body 20 in the closed position can be prevented.

Further, in the opening/closing mechanism 30, each of the flaps 73 of the left flap device 71 and the right flap device 72 has a protruding portion 73a that extends in the front-rear direction and is exposed to the outside of the lid body 20. The opening/closing mechanism 30 further includes a rib 31 provided on the lid body 20 and disposed on the outer side (that is, the front) in the front-rear direction with respect to the protrusion 73a. This rib 31 is provided corresponding to each protrusion 73a. The position range of the rib 31 in the left-right direction includes the position range of the protrusion 73a in the left-right direction.

According to this opening/closing mechanism 30, the projections 73a of each of the two flaps 73 of the flap device 70 can be guarded from the outside in the front-rear direction (specifically, from the front side) due to the presence of the corresponding ribs 31. It is possible to prevent the vehicle occupant from coming into contact with the protrusion 73a on the open side of the lid body 20, thereby preventing the flap 73 from malfunctioning. Therefore, the open side of the lid 20 is prevented from being closed to the container 10 to the closed position with the rods 42 and 52 on the open side of the lid 20 protruding to the protruding position. It is possible to prevent the rods 42, 52 on the open side from protruding to the protruding position before the open side of the housing 10 is closed to the closed position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the open side of the lid 20 from becoming unable to close with respect to the container 10, and to properly lock the lid 20 in the closed position by contacting the container 10.

Further, the container 10 has a recess 15 into which the rib 31 is inserted when the lid 20 closes the opening 11. The recess 15 can restrict the movement of the inserted rib 31 in both the left-right direction and the front-back direction. According to this structure, the rib 31 can be used to position the lid 20 in the container 10 at the closed position. Therefore, the closing operation of the lid 20 from the open position can be performed stably, and the posture of the lid 20 in the closed position can be stabilized.

In this way, the lid 20 has the function of preventing a vehicle occupant from coming into contact with the protrusion 73a on the open side of the lid 20, and the function of assisting the positioning of the lid 20 in the container 10 in the closed position. This can be realized by using the ribs 31 provided in the.

In the above embodiment, the second left rod 42 and the second right rod 52 correspond to a "pair of rods" described in the claims.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the flap 73 is disposed on the front side of the lid 20, and the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 is located further forward than the front wall 21b of the inner lid 21 of the lid 20. It stands out. The rear end portion of the flap 73 is in contact with the flap contact portions 42f, 52f of the front rods 42, 52. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and on the contrary, the flap 73 is arranged on the rear side of the lid 20, and the protrusion 73a of the flap 73 is located behind the inner lid material 21 of the lid 20. The flap 73 may protrude rearward from the wall portion, and the front end portion of the flap 73 may be in contact with the flap contact portions of the rear rods 41 and 51.

Further, in the above embodiment, the container 10 has the recess 15 which is a groove into which the rib 31 is inserted when the lid 20 closes the opening 11. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the container 10 may have a hole into which the rib 31 is inserted when the lid 20 closes the opening 11.

Further, in the above embodiment, the rib 31 is arranged on the outer side (specifically, the front) of the protruding part 73a of the flap 73 in the front-back direction, and It extends downward from the lower surface of the front end in a flat plate shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if it is possible to prevent the vehicle occupant from coming into contact with the protrusion 73a on the open side of the lid body 20, the rib 31 can be replaced with a flat plate shape and the protrusion 73a It may be formed in a shape that facilitates guarding from the front side or side, for example, a U-shaped cross section.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and modified forms described above, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
