Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a console box disposed between a driver's seat and a passenger seat of a vehicle. 2. Description of the Related Art A conventional console box is a real console box.
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 17577, a bolt inserted into a bolt insertion hole of a hook body is passed through a front wall of the console box body and a plate attached to an inner surface thereof and fastened to the console box body. Thus, the hook body is attached to the front wall of the console box body, and a plastic bag or the like is hung on the hook.In this case, the hook body protrudes forward from the front wall of the console box body. To be
When the occupant moves from the driver's seat to the passenger seat or from the passenger seat to the driver's seat, there is a risk that the occupant may be caught by the hook main body, which is not only an obstacle but also involves a danger. An object of the present invention is to provide a console box of a vehicle equipped with a hook for hanging a plastic bag or the like so as not to obstruct an occupant. [0004] Therefore, the console box according to the present invention has a lid that can be freely opened and closed.
At the time , an upwardly convex portion having a locking portion forwardly of the vehicle is formed on the top surface of the front wall of the main body covered by the lid portion . Therefore, when the cover of the console box is opened, an upwardly convex portion appears on the top surface of the front wall of the main body, and a plastic bag or the like is engaged with the locking portion of the convex portion at the front of the vehicle. , Can be hung to the vehicle front side of the main body front wall, and as long as the lid is closed, the upward protrusion formed on the top surface of the front wall of the main body is covered by the lid,
There is no protrusion from the outer surface of the console box. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described. The console box 1 includes a main body 2 and a lid 3 that covers the entire upper part of the main body 2. The lid 3 is openable and closable to the front of the main body 2 with respect to the main body 2 by a hinge 4. Hook 5 provided at the tip
The latch 7 attached to the front wall 6 of the main body 2 is configured to be disengaged appropriately. On the other hand, on the top surface 8 of the front wall 6 of the main body, a hook 10 having a locking portion 9 for frontward of the vehicle is integrally formed, and as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Cover 3
Is closed, the hook 10 on the top surface 8 of the front wall of the main body also covers the lid 3.
Will be covered by Therefore, when the lid 3 of the console box 1 is opened, the hook 10 appears on the top surface 8 of the main body front wall 6 which has been covered by the lid 3 so far.
By engaging a handle portion such as a plastic bag with the locking portion 9 of the vehicle, the plastic bag or the like can be hung on the vehicle front side of the main body front wall 6, and also engages with the locking portion 9 of the hook 10. Since the handle itself such as a plastic bag is usually thin, the lid 3 can be closed with the handle 9 such as a plastic bag engaged with the locking portion 9. That is, when a plastic bag or the like is not hung on the vehicle front side of the main body front wall 6, a plastic bag or the like is hung on the vehicle front side of the main body front wall 6 by the hook 10. Since the hook 10 is covered with the lid 3 by closing the lid 3 with respect to the main body 2, the hook 10 does not protrude from the outer surface of the console box 1.
When the occupant moves from the driver's seat to the passenger seat or from the passenger's seat to the driver's seat, there is no possibility that the occupant gets caught on the hook 10, which is very convenient. When the lid 3 of the console box 1 is opened to store an object in the main body 2 or to take out an object from the main body 2, a hook 10 is provided on the top surface 8 of the front wall 6 of the main body. The console box 1 does not protrude into the main body 2 and does not hinder the storage and removal of the above-mentioned items. Further, the hook 10 is provided on the top surface 8 of the main body front wall 6.
Since there is no need to separately attach the hook 10 to the console box 1, the overall structure of the console box 1 is not particularly complicated, and the installation of the hook 10 may increase the cost. Has no advantages. In the above embodiment, a hook is provided on the top surface of the front wall of the main body. Instead of this hook, an appropriate short prism, cylinder, or tip extending upward from the top surface of the front wall of the main body. Even if a convex portion such as a mushroom-shaped protrusion is provided, the same operation and effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained. In the console box according to the present invention, even if a convex portion for hanging a plastic bag or the like is provided on the front wall of the front wall of the main body on the front side of the vehicle, even if the convex portion is provided on the front wall of the main body. The protruding part is mounted on the top of the front wall of the main body and covered by the lid, and does not protrude from the outer surface of the console box at all. There is.
