Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle storage device in which a storage box is slidably mounted in a main body frame of an instrument panel or the like of a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-255145, a case body having at least an open front surface and capable of slidably storing a box-shaped article therein through the opening, Urging means for pressing the box-shaped article stored in the body forward, and mooring the box-shaped article at a retracted position stored in the case body against the urging force of the urging means; A slide type box-shaped article storage device is known, in which locking means capable of releasing the locked state when the box-shaped article is further pushed in from the retracted position are arranged.

[0003]

The prior art described above has a problem in that, when a vehicle collides with a vehicle, if the human body hits the storage box, the storage box protrudes, thereby damaging the face of the forward bent human body.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. One end is provided at the other end of an arm pivotally supported by an outer frame, and the other end is provided at a rear portion of a sliding case body. The other end of the pivoted arm is configured to be able to press and rotate with each other, and the spring is urged in a direction to advance the sliding case body by a spring, so that the front lid of the sliding case body is closed. A locking projection is erected at the top of one end of a horizontal lever that is pivotally supported at the center substantially along the back side, urges this upward, and inserts the pull-up knob through the slit of the front lid from the other end. A stopper is provided on the outer frame so as to protrude and to raise and lock the locking projection when the sliding case body is fully pushed in.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer frame case body which is integrated with an upper plate 2 to constitute an outer frame. Reference numeral 3 denotes a sliding case body which is slidably housed in an outer frame. A front lid 4 is rotatably supported at the lower end thereof and is urged forward by a lid spring 9. Reference numeral 5 denotes a lid inner, which is fixed to a rear portion of the front cover 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a horizontal lever, which is pivotally supported at the center between the front lid 4 and the lid inner 5 and has a locking projection 6a erected at one upper end. The locking projection 6a is urged upward by a spring 8. Is done. Reference numeral 7 denotes a pull-up knob, which is fitted to the tip of a protruding plate 6b projecting forward from the other end of the horizontal lever 6, and passes through the slit 4a of the front cover 4.

The locking projection 6a rises through the hole 5a of the lid inner 5, and is locked to a front edge stopper of the outer frame. 10 is one arm, one end 10a
Is pivoted to the outer frame. Reference numeral 11 denotes the other arm, one end 11a of which is pivotally supported at the rear of the sliding case body 3.

A shaft 11b having upper and lower flanges formed at the other end of the arm 11 is fitted into a cylinder 10b formed at the other end of the arm 10, and a contact surface between the upper and lower flanges of the arm 11 and the shaft. The rotation surface of the arm 11b is pressed against the upper and lower surfaces and the inner surface of the cylinder 10b of the arm 10. A coil spring 12 is wound around the outer surface of the cylinder 10b. One end of the coil spring 12 is engaged with the arm 10 and the other end thereof is engaged with the arm 11 so as to urge the sliding case body 3 in the forward direction. Reference numeral 16 denotes a screw for integrally fixing the shaft 11b to the end of the arm 11. Arm 10,1
One rotating portion is formed by a well-known two-color injection molding method.

Next, the operation will be described. Pull knob 7
Is pulled up with a finger, the horizontal lever 6 rotates counterclockwise,
The locking projection 6a descends as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 2 against the elasticity of the spring 8, disengages the stopper 14, and the sliding case body 3 moves forward with the elasticity of the coil spring 12. At this time, since the cylinder 10b of the arm 10 and the shaft 11b and the flange of the arm 11 are pressed against each other, a sliding torque is generated, and the sliding case body 3 moves forward while being braked. . When the front case 4 is pushed and the sliding case body 3 is pushed to the end, the locking projection 6a
When the circular arc portion comes down against the stopper portion 14 and passes through the stopper portion 14, it rises by the elasticity of the spring 8 and is locked by the stopper portion 14.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the other end of the arm pivotally supported at one end by the outer frame and the other end of the arm pivotally supported at the rear end of the sliding case body are mutually connected. It is configured to be able to rotate by pressing,
The sliding case is urged by a spring in the forward direction, and a locking projection is provided on the upper end of a horizontal lever that is pivotally supported at substantially the center along the back side of the front lid of the sliding case. Is erected upward, and a pull-up knob is protruded from the other end through the slit of the front lid. When the sliding case body is fully pushed in, the locking is performed. Since the outer frame is provided with the stopper portion in which the protrusion is raised and locked, the following effects are obtained.

[0010] 1. The lock cannot be released unless the pulling knob is pulled up, so it is safe even if a collision occurs. 2. Since the damper mechanism uses the friction torque generated by the pressure contact surface of the two arms, there is no oil leakage or the like.
