  As exemplified in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when a tissue box is stored in an instrument panel on the passenger seat side, it is assumed that a driver on the driver seat side extends his hand and takes tissue paper. However, when pulling out the tissue paper, if the tissue paper is not pulled out in a direction perpendicular to the outlet, the tissue paper is pulled out while interfering with the corner of the outlet, so that there is a high possibility of tearing. When the occupant on the driver's seat extends his hand and takes the tissue paper, it is difficult to pull it out in the direction perpendicular to the outlet, so it has been impossible to avoid the tearing of the tissue paper.

  Further, as exemplified in Patent Documents 1 to 3, in the conventional structure, the outlet of the tissue box is hidden by a lid or the like. This is to make the structure excellent in aesthetics. However, the conventional structure does not consider the ease of taking out the tissue paper at all.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage structure for an instrument panel of an automobile that can be easily taken out without breaking the tissue paper.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a typical configuration of the present invention includes an opening formed on an upper surface of an instrument panel and an opening formed inside the instrument panel in a storage structure of an instrument panel of an automobile. A storage part for storing a tissue box that is located below the paper box and for storing a tissue paper; and an overhang that descends from the edge of the opening on the rear side of the vehicle and protrudes further toward the front of the vehicle to form an internal opening that is narrower than the opening And a lid that closes the opening and has a rotating shaft on the front side of the vehicle, and a plurality of protrusions that are erected on the upper surface of the portion that protrudes forward of the vehicle and that are arranged along the vehicle width direction. A support rib that supports one end of the tissue paper exposed from the internal opening, and a plurality of ribs that protrude from the inner surface of the lid and are arranged along the vehicle width direction. Characterized in that it comprises a rake on rib scooping involving tissue paper tissue paper supported by the support rib to the closing of the lid in the open when the lid pressing downward.

  According to the above configuration, when the lid is opened, the tissue paper is scooped up by the plurality of ribs and pulled out from the opening. Therefore, the occupant can easily take out the tissue paper. Furthermore, when the passenger on the driver's seat extends his hand and takes the tissue paper, the tissue paper is pulled out by a plurality of ribs when the lid is opened, so that it can be taken out by pulling a little. Therefore, it is not necessary for the passenger on the driver's seat side to forcibly pull from the lateral direction (a direction other than the direction perpendicular to the exit), and the breakage can be prevented.

  The plurality of support ribs include first and second support ribs arranged in the vehicle width direction, and the plurality of upper ribs are arranged in the vehicle width direction located between the first and second support ribs. The first and second upper ribs may include a corner portion that overlaps the support rib when viewed from the side of the vehicle when the lid is closed.

  According to the above configuration, the corner portions of the first and second ribs press the tissue paper between the first and second support ribs downward when the lid is closed, and interfere in the height direction. When the lid is open, roll up tissue paper. Therefore, it is possible to improve the ease of scooping up the tissue paper.

  The first and second upper ribs may have protrusions that are rounded and project downward when overlapping the support ribs when viewed from the side of the vehicle when the lid is closed.

  According to the above configuration, the tissue paper picked up by the upper rib when the lid is opened can be hooked on the protrusion when the lid is closed and collected into the opening. Therefore, when the lid is closed, it is possible to eliminate a situation in which the tissue paper protrudes out of the gap between the lid and the opening. In addition, since the projection is rounded, the tissue paper is not torn.

  It is preferable that the first and second upper ribs are widened so as to be separated from each other as the distance from the rotation axis increases.

  According to the above configuration, when the tissue paper is scooped up, the upper ribs interfere more in the vehicle width direction. Thereby, it is possible to improve the ease of scooping up the tissue paper.

  The upper ribs are provided on the inner surface of the lid when the lid is closed from the vehicle front side to the vehicle rear side, and the ends of the upper ribs on the vehicle front side may be connected to each other.

  According to the above configuration, the rigidity of the upper rib and the rigidity of the lid can be improved.

  It is preferable that the vehicle further includes a side projecting portion that descends from the vehicle side edge of the opening and further projects inward of the opening, and the side projecting portion has a rounded tip that projects inward.

  According to the said structure, even if tissue paper is pulled out interfering with the front-end | tip of a side part overhang | projection part, the tear can be prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the upper ribs 126 and 128 are formed so as to overlap the support ribs 120 and 122 when viewed from the side of the vehicle when the lid 102 is closed. More specifically, the second corners 126 a and 128 a are formed so as to overlap the support ribs 120 and 122 when viewed from the side of the vehicle when the lid 102 is closed. As a result, the upper ribs 126 and 128 interfere with the tissue paper 124 in the height direction and sufficiently contact the tissue paper 124. As described above, the upper ribs 126 and 128 are formed so as to be separated from each other as the distance from the rotation axis increases. Therefore, the upper ribs 126 and 128 have an extension in the vehicle width direction, and the tissue paper 124. It becomes easier to hook.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when a finger is inserted into the recess 110 (see FIG. 1 and the like) from this state and the lid 102 starts to open, the rear side of the upper ribs 126 and 128, particularly the second corners. The parts 126b and 128b entrain the tissue paper 124 and rotate. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5C, the tissue paper 124 can be scooped up by opening the lid 102, and a certain amount of tissue paper 124 can be pulled out so as to be exposed from the opening 108.

  Thus, the occupant can easily take out the tissue paper 124. Therefore, even when the driver on the driver's seat extends his hand and takes the tissue paper 124, the tissue paper 124 is pulled out by the upper ribs 126 and 128 when the lid 102 is opened. Can do. Therefore, it is not necessary for the passenger on the driver's seat side to forcibly pull from the lateral direction (a direction other than the direction perpendicular to the outlet 130a), and the tissue paper 124 can be prevented from being torn.

  FIG. 6 is an end view taken along the line CC of the lid 102 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the side projecting portions 114 and 116 have rounded tips that project inward. Thereby, even if the tissue paper 124 is pulled out while interfering with the tips of the side projecting portions 114 and 116, the tear can be prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the tissue paper 124 is accommodated in a pop-up tissue box 130, and the tissue box 130 is inside the instrument panel 104 and below the opening 108. It is stored in. By making the tissue box 130 a pop-up type, when the tissue paper 124 is pulled out from the outlet 130 a, the subsequent tissue paper 124 is pulled out and supported by the support ribs 120 and 122. Thereby, when the lid 102 is opened, the tissue paper 124 supported by the support ribs 120 and 122 can be scooped up repeatedly, so that the usability can be improved.
