BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a box body with an accessory inside, 2
Is a recess formed in the front edge thereof, and the recess 2
A buffer material 3 such as rubber is fitted in the inside. Reference numeral 4 denotes a table / inner lid whose rear end is pivotally attached to the rear edge of the box body 1 so as to cover the opening of the box main body 1. The table / inner lid 4 is made of synthetic resin and has a front side. On the back surface, a projection 5 serving also as a handle fitted into the recess 2 is provided integrally. The projection 5 also serving as a handle is formed by forming an enlarged portion 5b at the leg end of a short leg plate portion 5a. When the enlarged portion 5b at the lower end is fitted into the concave portion 2 via the cushioning material 3, the protrusion 5 serves as a table. A gap 6 for inserting a finger is formed between the back surface of the lid 4 and the front edge of the box body 1. The cushioning member 3 may be formed with a concave portion enough to loosely fit the projection 5 serving also as a handle as shown in FIG. 2, but as shown in FIG. 4 as in the second embodiment. A recessed portion may be formed to the extent that the projection 5 serving also as the engagement is formed, or the third recessed portion shown in FIG.
As in the embodiment, the projection 5 itself, which is provided on the front rear surface of the table / inner cover 4 and also serves as a handle to be fitted into the concave portion 2, may be formed of a cushioning material.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an armrest / outer cover which covers the opening of the box body 1 from the outside of the table / inner cover 4. The armrest / outer cover 7 also serves as the table / inner cover 4.
The rear end is pivotally attached to the rear edge of the box body 1 in the same manner as described above. In the figure, reference numeral 8 denotes a notch formed on the front edge of the table / inner cover 4 and detachable from an engaging member 9 formed on the front lower surface of the armrest / outer cover 7; 5 is a low engagement projection provided on the front rear surface of the table / inner lid 4, and the low engagement projection 10 is a shallow engagement recess provided separately from the recess 2 on the front edge of the box body 1. 11 assists the rattle preventing function of the projection 5 which also serves as the handle.

[0010] The thus constructed device is installed, for example, between a driver's seat and a passenger seat, and always keeps the inside of the box main body 1 inside the table / inner cover 4 and the armrest / outer cover 7.
The upper part of the armrest / external lid 7 which is covered so as to cover the opening of the box body 1 from outside is used as an armrest, and the box body is used when necessary. 1
The armrest / external lid 7 that covers the opening of the box body 1 from the outside is opened, and the table / internal lid 4 covered at the opening of the box body 1 can be used as a table such as a cup holder. On the back side of the lid 4, a handle is fitted into the concave portion 2 formed on the front edge of the box body 1 to form a gap for inserting a finger between the back surface of the table and inner lid and the front edge of the box body. Since the projection 5 serving also as a handle is provided, the projection 5 serving also as a handle is fitted into the concave portion 2 formed on the front edge of the box body 1 when the cover is covered, so that the table inner lid 4 does not rattle. It is in a state of covering the opening of the main body. However, when it is desired to open the opening of the box main body 1 and put small items inside or take out small items inside, insert a finger through the finger insertion gap 6, grasp the projection 5 also serving as a handle, and hold the projection 5 serving as a handle. Can be opened and closed, so that the opening and closing operation is extremely easy. As described above, the projection 5 serving also as a handle not only functions as a handle for opening and closing the table / inner cover, but also prevents the table / inner cover 4 from being rattled by being fitted into the recess 2 of the front edge of the box body 1.
