Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a structure for preventing distortion of the construction of a lid for an automobile storage case.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Usually, for example, in the case of a glove box installed on an instrument panel (hereinafter referred to as an instrument panel), an automobile storage compartment that is often provided together with an instrument panel provided with instruments is often used. This glove box consists of a lid for opening and closing, and a storage box fixed inside and opened upward, and is fitted on the front surface of the instrument panel. Then, the lower end of the glove box is rotatably attached to the instrument panel by a hinge, and the lid of the glove box is rotated so as to be substantially flush with the front surface of the instrument panel, and is engaged with the instrument panel by the locking device. I have. Such an example is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-1000.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional glove box, a description is given that the lower end of the glove box is pivotally connected to the lower part of the instrument panel so that the storage box is stored in the instrument panel when not in use. However, there is no disclosure of what kind of fixing method to use when storing, and if the instrument panel or glove box deforms or shrinks, accurate positioning cannot be performed, or the instrument panel and glove box cannot be positioned correctly. It did not disclose any measures to be taken if the lid surface was not flush when the glove box was not used. The present invention provides a glove box lid stopper structure that solves such problems.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and a stopper projection is provided on a glove box lid and an instrument panel which are opened and closed about a hinge shaft, and the projections are engaged with each other. This makes it possible to perform positioning in the up-down direction and the front-back direction, and the stopper structure of the lid of the glove box enables the lid to be securely fixed to the instrument panel as compared with the conventional mounting structure. .

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the first aspect of the present invention, in a glove box lid stopper structure for locking a glove box lid that opens and closes around a hinge axis to an instrument panel, the glove box lid protrudes toward the instrument panel. A first projection is provided, while a second projection is provided on the instrument panel, the first projection and the second projection are engaged when the lid of the glove box is closed, and the lid is attached to the instrument panel. The glove box lid has a stopper structure which is fixed to the glove box lid.

According to the present invention, a first protrusion is provided on the lid of the glove box so as to project toward the instrument panel, while a second protrusion is provided on the instrument panel, and the first protrusion is provided. And the second projection engages when the glove box lid is closed, and the lid is fixed to the instrument panel. Since the projection provided on the panel and the projection provided on the glove box are securely engaged with each other, when the cover is closed, the projection is substantially flush with the front surface of the instrument panel, and the appearance defect is eliminated.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the glove box lid according to the first aspect, the second protrusion has a cross shape, and is in contact with and engaged with a bottom surface and a front end surface of the first protrusion. It has a stopper structure.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the glove box lid stopper according to the first aspect, wherein the second protrusion has a cross shape, and abuts and engages a bottom surface and a front end surface of the first protrusion. Due to the structure, the instrument panel and the glove box can be securely locked.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the stopper structure of the glove box lid 5 according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an instrument panel, and 3 denotes a second projection protruding from the instrument panel 1 toward the glove box. Further, a first projection 7 protrudes from the glove box lid 5 toward the instrument panel 1, and the first projection 7 and the second projection 3 are engaged. At this time, there is a gap 11 between the upper part 13 of the glove box lid 5 and the instrument panel 1, and the presence of the gap 11 causes the instrument panel 1 and the glove box lid 5 to interfere with each other. It will not be damaged.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view when the glove box lid 5 is closed. The glove box lid 5 is opened and closed by a hinge 9 in the vertical direction.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view in which the engagement state between the second projection 3 projecting from the instrument panel and the first projection 7 projecting from the glove box lid 5 is enlarged. Here, the second projection 3 has a cross shape, the bottom surface 15 of the first projection 7 is the upper surface 17 of the second projection, and the tip surface 19 of the first projection 7 is the second projection. The glove box cover 5 is securely locked by the second protrusion.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, in the present invention, the glove box lid is provided with the first protrusion protruding toward the instrument panel, while the instrument panel is provided with the second protrusion, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion are provided. Are engaged when the glove box lid is closed, and the lid is a stopper structure of the glove box lid fixed to the instrument panel. Since the installed projections are securely engaged with each other, when the lid is closed, the projections are substantially flush with the front surface of the instrument panel, and there is an effect that the appearance defect is eliminated.

According to the invention of claim 2, the glove box cover according to claim 1, wherein the second projection has a cross shape, and is in contact with and engaged with a bottom face and a tip end face of the first projection. With this stopper structure, there is an effect that the instrument panel and the glove box can be securely locked.
