Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION a. Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage device for a glove box provided in an instrument panel of an automobile.

b. Conventional technology and its problems An instrument panel a of a vehicle is provided with a glove box b as shown in FIG. 5, in which small articles such as writing instruments and notepads are stored.

However, when storing a wide and large storage item, for example, a road map, this occupies the internal space of the box b, so that there is a problem that it is difficult to store other items. In addition, the storage state in that case becomes unstable, so that the stored goods dance in the box b and generate abnormal noises during traveling, and in some cases, when the box lid c is opened, the stored goods fall to the floor. Sometimes I did.

c. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to hold a wide storage object in a state of leaning against a box lid. By
It is an object of the present invention to provide a glove box storage device which can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
A box lid 3 is attached to the instrument panel 1 to cover the opening of the recess 2 and the glove box is configured to be opened by tilting the box lid 3 forward. A holding member having a flexible supporting member 10 and a pair of supporting rods 7, 7 provided facing the peripheral edge of the box lid 3, and an elastic body 8 movably stretched on the supporting rods 7, 7. A means is provided so that the storage item B can be held in a state of standing on the box lid 3 by the holding means and the support member 10.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in FIG. 5, where 1 is an instrument panel, and 2 is a recess formed on the front side thereof. Reference numeral 3 denotes a box lid, which is attached to the instrument panel 1 via a hinge portion 4 provided integrally below the box lid. As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lid 3 has an extending portion 5 extending from the peripheral edge thereof to the back side, and four boss portions provided inside the extending portion 5. 6, a pair of support rods attached to the boss portion 6, for example, a pair of screws 7 screwed into the boss portion 6, an elastic body stretched between these screws 7, for example, a spring 8, Sub-spring 9 provided in upper right corner
And Reference numeral 10 denotes a support member provided at the lower portion of the box lid 3. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a joint 11 provided at the front end thereof, a projection 12 provided on the lower surface side of the joint 11, and a holding piece 13 and a screw hole 14 provided in the joint portion 11. Also, the lower extension 5a of the box lid
Has a hole 15 corresponding to the projection 12. Then, the support member 10 is inserted into the lid 3 while the joining portion 11 is in contact with the inside of the extension portion 5 of the box lid 3, and the screw 16 is inserted through the stupid hole provided in the extension portion 5.
The support member 10 is fixed to the box lid 3 by being screwed into the screw hole 14 of FIG. At this time, the holding piece 13 and the joining portion 11 of the support member 10 are connected to the lower extension 5a of the box lid 3.
And the projection 12 is fitted into the hole 15.

Since the glove box according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, when storing the storage item B having a large width and a large area, the box lid 3 is opened by tilting the box lid 3 toward the front and stored between the lid 3 and the spring 8. What is necessary is just to insert the thing B. The spring 8 can be moved along the screw 7, so that an appropriate clamping force can be obtained according to the thickness of the storage item B. A screw 7 is also screwed into the upper boss 6 shown in FIG. 2, and another spring 8 is stretched between these screws 7, so that the clamping force of the spring 8 increases, and Can be stably stored. Note that small articles c such as tickets may be sandwiched between the sub-springs 9.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the instrument panel 1
Since the supporting member 10 formed corresponding to the shape of the concave portion 2 can be assembled and exchanged with the box lid 3 and used, the box lid 3 can be shared and the production cost can be reduced. it can.

d. Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, a wide storage item can be held in a state of standing on the box lid. Therefore, by effectively utilizing the internal space of the glove box, a large number of storage items can be stored, and the storage state in the box is also stabilized, so that the storage items do not dance and generate noise when traveling. .

Further, an effect that a wide storage item can be easily put in and out can be obtained. Further, when the support member becomes unnecessary or obstructive depending on the shape and size of the stored item, the support member can be easily removed. For this reason, the same box lid can be used by exchanging the support member even for vehicles having different depths of the concave portions of the instrument panel, and cost reduction can be achieved. Then, the stored item can be reliably held by the spring, and an appropriate holding force can be obtained according to the thickness of the stored item.
