  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an instrument panel 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin that is attached to the front and side portions of a vehicle body in a vehicle interior. It is arranged in front of the seat. Such an instrument panel 1 is formed to have a length extending over almost the entire width in the vehicle width direction in the vehicle interior, and includes an openable / closable glove box 2 below a position facing the passenger seat. Note that an operation system such as a car stereo (audio system) 3 and an air conditioner (air conditioner) 4 is mainly provided on the center of the instrument panel 1 in the vehicle width direction so that an occupant seated in the driver's seat can easily operate. Panels 5 are gathered and arranged.

The storage structure of the embodiment of the present invention is a structure in which rectangular boxed tissue paper 6 is stored inside the glove box 2 in plan view, and can be applied to commercially available boxed tissue paper. And at least a structure that can be applied to a boxed tissue paper standardized in JIS S3104.
In such a boxed tissue paper 6, in the following description, in use, the surface on which the hole for extracting the tissue paper 6 a is provided is the upper surface, the opposite side of the upper surface is the bottom surface, and the vertical connecting the upper surface and the bottom surface is connected. Four sides are defined as side surfaces.

As shown in FIG. 3, the glove box 2 is in a state in which the container-shaped main body portion 7 whose upper surface is opened, the lid portion 8 constituting a part of the design surface of the instrument panel 1, and the glove box 2 being closed. And a knob mechanism 9 having a lock structure for maintaining the structure.
A pair of left and right bosses 8a projecting outward are formed on both sides of the lid portion 8, and these bosses 8a are fitted into recesses or holes (not shown) on the instrument panel 1 side. It is like that. Therefore, the glove box 2 has a structure that opens and closes to the vehicle interior side with respect to the instrument panel 1 by rotating the lid portion 8 around the boss 8a. The lid portion 8 is attached to the surface of the main body portion 7 on the vehicle interior side, but the lid portion 8 may be formed integrally with the main body portion 7.

  As shown in FIG. 4, among the inner walls constituting the main body portion 7 of the glove box 2, a wall surface 7 a on the back side of the surface to which the lid portion 8 is attached, and in a slightly lower position with the glove box 2 opened, A support portion 10 that supports the boxed tissue paper 6 is provided. This support portion 3 constitutes one of the characteristic portions of the present invention, and the wall surface 7a is provided with the wall surface 7a because it is close to horizontal when the glove box 2 is opened. It is because it becomes a surface which mainly receives the load of the tissue paper 6 in a box. Therefore, by providing the support portion 10 at such a position, the support portion 10 can reliably support the load of the boxed tissue paper 6.

  The support portion 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first support portion 11 and a second support portion 12 that are arranged at an interval in the vehicle width direction, and the interior of the glove box 2 from the wall surface 7a of the main body portion 7. In the state where the glove box 2 is fully opened, the boxed tissue paper 6 is arranged so that the upper surface faces the vehicle interior side, and the long side of the rectangle of the upper surface is substantially parallel to the vehicle width direction. Is stored in the glove box 2, either the surface 11 a (12 a) that is held in contact with the bottom surface of the boxed tissue paper 6, or the surface 11 b (12 b) that is held in contact with the side surface of the boxed tissue paper 6, or both (In this embodiment, both surfaces are provided). These holding surfaces 11a (12a) and 11b (12b) are oriented such that when the glove box 2 is opened with the boxed tissue paper 6 stored in the glove box 2, the upper surface of the boxed tissue paper 6 is It is formed to be inclined so as to be held in a direction facing the room side. Moreover, the holding surfaces 11 a and 11 b of the first support portion 11 located on the driver's seat side protrude so as to be higher than the holding surfaces 12 a and 12 b of the second support portion 12.

With this configuration, when the occupant opens the glove box 2, the upper surface of the stored tissue paper 6 is exposed in the direction toward the passenger compartment, so that even the occupant seated in the driver's seat can easily take out the tissue paper 6a. Is possible.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the support portion 10 is divided into two portions, ie, a first support portion 11 and a second support portion 12 that are spaced apart in the vehicle width direction. 6 is provided at a position capable of supporting the range of both end portions in the long side direction of the bottom surface of 6, but as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. May be provided.
However, as in the embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 10 is divided into two portions of the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 so as to hold the left and right end portions of the boxed tissue paper 6. In this case, it is possible to minimize the reduction in the storage capacity in the glove box 2 due to the provision of the support portion 10. As a result, the capacity of the glove box 2 when the boxed tissue paper 6 is not stored can be secured.

By the way, the capacity | capacitance of the glove box 2 needs to be made larger than the boxed tissue paper 6 to accommodate. In general, since the inner dimension of the glove box 2 is larger in the width (vehicle width direction) than in the depth (vehicle front-rear direction), the boxed tissue paper 6 stored by vibration during vehicle travel is used in the vehicle width direction (horizontal direction). May be displaced in the direction). The displacement in the vehicle front-rear direction causes no problem because the boxed tissue paper 6 naturally moves to the wall surface 7a side of the main body 7 by gravity when the glove box 2 is opened. However, when the boxed tissue paper 6 is displaced in the vehicle width direction, the boxed tissue paper 6 naturally moves to the original position and does not return.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the left and right end portions of the support portion 10 are provided with a pair of surfaces that hold both side surfaces perpendicular to the long side that forms the bottom surface of the boxed tissue paper 6. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, one of the pair of surfaces is a surface that forms the side wall of the main body portion 7 of the glove box 2, and the side wall surface 7 b closer to the driver's seat side is used. In addition, by providing the first support portion 11 of the support portion 10 in contact with the side wall surface 7b, a stopper for preventing the lateral displacement of the stored tissue paper 6 in the box is provided. Thus, by using the side wall surface 7b of the main-body part 7 of the glove box 2, it becomes unnecessary to provide a stopper separately. In addition, since the tissue paper 6 in the box can be arranged close to the driver's seat side by using the side wall surface 7b on the driver's seat side, not only the passenger seated in the passenger seat but also the passenger seated in the driver's seat. This makes it easier to take out tissue paper.

The other surface of the pair of surfaces described above is a contact surface 12c provided at the outer end of the second support portion 12 of the support portion 10 as shown in FIGS. The abutment surface 12c is used as a stopper for preventing a lateral slip that abuts against the side wall surface of the stored boxed tissue paper 6, and extends in a direction perpendicular to the holding surfaces 12a and 12b of the second support portion 12, Moreover, it is formed to have a low height. That is, the contact surface 12c protrudes at a height smaller than the protrusion amount of the holding surfaces 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b of the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12.
This shape and arrangement take into account the convenience when taking out the boxed tissue paper 6. If the boxed tissue paper 6 is slightly lifted and removed from the abutment surface 12c, the boxed tissue paper 6 is shifted laterally to move the glove box. 2 can be taken out from the inside. In addition, when the boxed tissue paper 6 is stored, it settles downward due to its own weight, so that the contact surface 12c is firmly attached to the side surface of the boxed tissue paper 6 even if the height of the contact surface 12c used as a stopper is low. It can be held in contact. In addition, it is preferable that the height of the contact surface 12c be as low as possible so that the boxed tissue paper 6 does not come off due to vibration during traveling of the vehicle.

On the other hand, in the main body portion 7 of the glove box 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a space for accommodating the knob mechanism 9 is formed on the wall surface 7a side located on the back side of the surface to which the lid portion 8 is attached. The knob accommodating portion 13 is provided. The knob housing portion 13 is formed in a protruding shape protruding into the inside of the glove box 2, and the portion facing the inside of the glove box 2 is in contact with the side surface on the near side of the stored tissue paper 6 in the box. A wide and flat support surface 13a is provided. For this reason, the support surface 13a of the knob accommodating part 13 is formed in consideration of the height and inclination angle of the holding surfaces 11b, 12b of the first support part 11 and the second support part 12 of the support part 10.
The presence of the support surface 13a of the knob housing portion 13 makes it possible to widen the supporting surface in a state where the boxed tissue paper 6 is used, and the boxed tissue paper 6 is more reliably held.

In addition, in the glove box 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a double storage portion is provided that enables a thin storage object such as a vehicle verification or a user manual to be held at a fixed position. . Therefore, of the wall surfaces forming the main body portion 7 of the glove box 2, the glove box 2 is closed, and is substantially parallel to the vehicle width direction located on the back side of the instrument panel 1 (located on the vehicle front side). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the wall surface 7 c is provided with a pair of left and right holding surface portions 14 spaced in parallel from the wall surface 7 c so as to face each other. A heavy storage portion is formed.
The holding surface portion 14 may be a cantilever protruding piece capable of holding both ends of a thin stored item, or may be a wall that covers the entire surface so as to completely separate the double storage portion from the storage portion of the main body portion 7. . In the case of a cantilevered projecting piece, the center is opened, so that the entire glove box 2 can be used widely, and the removal of a thin storage item is facilitated. Also, in the molding process of the glove box 2, it is possible to prevent the molding die from becoming complicated.
Further, the holding surface portion 14 is formed at a position in contact with a surface located on the vehicle front side among the surfaces parallel to the vehicle width direction of the boxed tissue paper 6 when the boxed tissue paper 6 is stored. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the boxed tissue paper 6 from moving in the vehicle front-rear direction and generating abnormal noise when the vehicle starts and stops or during acceleration / deceleration during traveling.

  As described above, the storage structure according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the first support portion 11 that holds the bottom and side surfaces of the boxed tissue paper 6 and the holding surfaces 11a, 12a, 11b, and 12b of the second support portion 12. Since the supporting portion 10 is provided so as to protrude from the wall surface 7a of the main body portion 7 of the glove box 2, the boxed tissue paper 6 stored in the glove box 2 can be arranged in a state that is easy for a passenger to use. At the same time, the boxed tissue paper 6 can be easily replaced.
