Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box for an automobile, and in particular, a cover that covers the opening of the storage box is separated into a sub-cover and a main cover and overlapped when opening, thereby increasing the opening amount of the opening. The present invention relates to an automobile storage box that can be used.

  In modern life, automobiles have a very close relationship with real life. Accordingly, automobiles have been moved away from the concept of simple means of transportation and have been recognized as an independent living space.

  From this point of view, one of the most important aspects of vehicle technical matters such as driving safety and ride comfort is the provision of various indoor devices that can give comfort to passengers. There is.

  There are various storage boxes used for storing small items as one of the devices provided as an indoor device of an automobile. Usually, in such a storage box, an opening is provided in the upper part so that the inside can be accessed, and the opening is opened and closed by a cover that is slid.

  However, the cover is slid to open the opening, and in order to increase the opening area, the cover must be displaced over such a long distance, depending on the size of the storage box. The opening area is limited. If the cover overhangs beyond the width of the storage box when opened, the opening area can be increased, but the appearance is impaired, and it is difficult to hold the cover stably.

  Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes a storage box built in the back of the seat as shown in FIG. That is, the box body (110) that defines the storage space (111) having a predetermined depth is embedded in the back of the seat, and one side of the rectangular lower cover (120) is placed under the box body (110). The lower cover (120) can open and close the lower half of the opening of the storage space (111) by being coupled to the lower part of the box body (110) via a hinge having a pivot axis along the edge. I have to. Flange which forms a guide groove (121) is provided on both side edges of the lower cover (120), and the left and right edges of the upper cover (130), which is also rectangular, are guided by the guide groove (121). Accordingly, the upper cover (130) can be slid along the inner surface of the lower cover (120). Therefore, when opened, the lower cover (120) falls to the near side and becomes almost horizontal, but since the upper cover (130) overlaps the lower cover (120), the overall projection amount of these covers is suppressed. Is done. When closing the storage space (111), the upper cover (130) is pulled forward with respect to the lower cover (120) and rotated upward as it is, so that both covers cooperate with each other and the entire opening. Can be closed.

  According to this proposal, the convenience of use can be improved by opening the opening of the storage space portion and completely storing and taking out the articles without completely separating both covers. However, if the latch of the upper cover is incomplete, there has been a problem that if the latch is opened unexpectedly due to an impact or the like, or if the latch is opened carelessly, the internal articles overflow.

A lock groove (62) to be engaged with the lock member (22) of the button device (20) is provided at the center of the front end of the main cover (60).

  A hook and loop fastener tape (15) is affixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate of the storage box (10) so that the storage box (10) can be fixed to the trunk or the floor or wall of the vehicle compartment.

  The operation procedure of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  First, FIG. 4 shows a state in which the opening (11) of the storage box (10) is completely closed by both the sub cover (50) and the main cover (60). That is, the main cover (60) and the sub cover (50) are moved leftward or forward in FIG. 4 by the grip portion (65) of the main cover (60), and the lock member of the button device (20). (22) is engaged with the lock groove (62) on the main cover (60) side, and the main cover (60) is locked.

  At this time, the sub cover (50) is biased in the opening direction by the spring force of the constant spring (45) via the base plate (40), but the tension pin (51) of the sub cover (50) is moved forward. Since it is locked to the rear end of the guide groove (61a), it is held in the closed state. The sub cover (50) is disposed on the same plane as the sub cover (50) behind the main cover (60). When the button (21) of the button device (20) is pushed and the lock member (22) is displaced downward, the locked state is released and the main cover (60) can be slid backward. Further, the tension pin (51) of the sub cover (50) is positioned at the rear end of the front guide groove (61a), and the guide pin (52) is guided by the sub slide rail (32).

  Since the spring force of the constant spring (45) is constantly acting on the base plate (40), when the locked state is released, the base plate (40) is driven backward, and the locking portion (41) The drooping piece (53) of the cover (50) is pushed backward, and the sub cover (50) moves backward. At the same time, the tension pin (51) provided at the front portion of the sub-cover (50) is engaged with the rear end of the front guide groove (61a), and the main cover (60) is moved by the moving distance of the sub-cover (50). Automatically slide backwards at the same distance as.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the sub-cover (50) has a rear guide portion (32a) which is eventually moved while the guide pin (52) provided on the rear side moves horizontally along the sub-slide rail (32). ) Is displaced downward, and the rear portion of the sub cover (50) is lowered.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user holds the grip portion (65) of the main cover (60) and slides the main cover (60) further backward, the front of the main cover (60) is obtained. The tension pin (51) of the sub cover (50) located in the direction guide part (61a) is displaced downward along the front guide part (61a) and moves to the horizontal section of the horizontal slide rail (61). As a result, the main cover (60) can be displaced further rearward along the upper surface of the sub cover (50). In order to allow the main cover (60) to move over the sub cover (50), the upper portion of the front edge of the sub cover (50) is cut out to form a recess. Thus, since the cover (50) overlaps the main cover (60) when fully opened, the storage box (10) while minimizing the area occupied by the main cover (60) and the sub cover (50) outside the opening. ) Of the opening (11) can be maximized.

  When closing the opening (11), the above process may be reversed. When the main cover (60) is moved forward by pulling the grip portion (65) forward, only the main cover (60) is initially displaced forward, but eventually the tension pin (51) of the sub cover (50). Enters the front guide portion (61a), and only the front of the sub cover (50) rises. During this time, the sub-cover (50) is urged rearward, so that it is stationary in the front-rear direction.

  Here, when the main cover (60) is further pulled, the tension pin (51) reaches the rear end of the front guide portion (61a), and the sub cover (50) is also displaced forward. At the same time, the rear end of the sub-cover (50) that has been tilted forward rises as the guide pin (52) moves in the rear guide portion (32a). When the guide pin (52) reaches the front end of the rear guide portion (32a), the sub cover (50) is located on the same plane as the main cover (60). Further, when the main cover (60) is moved forward, the sub cover (50) is also dragged forward via the tension pin (51), and finally, the opening (11) is moved to the main cover (60). And it will be in the state fully closed by the sub cover (50). Such movement is performed against the spring force of the constant spring (45), but the lock member (22) of the button device (20) is engaged with the lock groove (62) on the main cover (60) side. Thus, even when the hand is released from the grip portion (65), the fully closed state by the main cover (60) and the sub cover (50) is maintained.

  The present invention described above is not limited to the above description, and it is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention that several substitutions, modifications and changes are possible. It will be clear to those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field.
