本発明は、上記の目的を達成するためのものであって、以下のように構成されている。請求項１に記載の発明は、アウターパネルと、アウターパネルの内側に接合されるインナーパネルとから成るグローブボックスのリッドである。接合は、第１の係合構造と第２の係合構造とから構成されている。第１の係合構造は、アウターパネルまたはインナーパネルに形成された第１の爪部材と、インナーパネルまたはアウターパネルに形成され第１の爪部材に係合可能な第１の受け部材とから構成されている。第２の係合構造は、アウターパネルまたはインナーパネルに形成された第２の爪部材と、インナーパネルまたはアウターパネルに形成され第２の爪部材に係合可能な第２の受け部材とから構成されている。第１の爪部材には、一対の張出部と、挿入孔を有する段差部とが形成されている。第１の受け部材には、一対の張出部の張り出し方向と同じ方向に弾性変形可能な一対のリブから成る開口を有するコ字部材と、係合爪を有し一対のリブを橋渡す基壁から離れる方向に弾性変形可能な弾性片とが形成されている。第２の爪部材には、係合爪と、挿入孔を有する段差部とが形成されている。第２の受け部材は、係合爪の膨出方向と同じ方向に弾性変形可能なリブから成る開口を有するコ字部材と、係合爪を有しリブから離れる方向に弾性変形可能な弾性片とが形成されている。アウターパネルの内側にインナーパネルを相対的に接合させていくと、この接合にともない、第１の爪部材の挿入孔に第１の受け部材の弾性片が引き込まれていくと共に、第１の受け部材の開口に第１の爪部材の一対の張出部が挿し込まれていく。この引き込まれにともない、第１の受け部材の係合爪が第１の爪部材の挿入孔を乗り越えるように第１の受け部材の弾性片が弾性変形していく。また、この挿し込まれにともない、第１の爪部材の一対の張出部が第１の受け部材の一対のリブを乗り越えるように第１の受け部材の一対のリブが弾性変形していく。やがて、第１の爪部材の挿入孔の乗り越えと、第１の受け部材の一対のリブの乗り越えとが完了すると、第１の係合構造が係合状態になる。一方、この接合にともない、第２の爪部材の挿入孔に第２の受け部材の弾性片が引き込まれていくと共に、第２の受け部材の開口に第２の爪部材の係合爪が挿し込まれていく。この引き込まれにともない、第２の受け部材の係合爪が第２の爪部材の挿入孔を乗り越えるように第２の受け部材の弾性片が弾性変形していく。また、この挿し込まれにともない、第２の爪部材の係合爪が第２の受け部材のリブを乗り越えるように第２の受け部材のリブが弾性変形していく。やがて、第２の爪部材の挿入孔の乗り越えと、第２の受け部材のリブの乗り越えとが完了すると、第２の係合構造が係合状態になる。第１の受け部材のコ字部材には、インナーパネルまたはアウターパネルとの間に切り欠かれた切欠が形成されている。第２の受け部材のコ字部材には、インナーパネルまたはアウターパネルとの間に切り欠かれた切欠が形成されている。 The present invention is intended to achieve the above object, and is configured as follows. The invention according to claim 1 is a glove box lid including an outer panel and an inner panel joined to the inside of the outer panel. The joint is composed of a first engaging structure and a second engaging structure. The first engaging structure is composed of a first claw member formed on the outer panel or the inner panel and a first receiving member formed on the inner panel or the outer panel and capable of engaging with the first claw member. Has been done. The second engaging structure is composed of a second claw member formed on the outer panel or the inner panel and a second receiving member formed on the inner panel or the outer panel and capable of engaging with the second claw member. Has been done. The first claw member is formed with a pair of overhanging portions and a stepped portion having an insertion hole. The first receiving member includes a U-shaped member having an opening composed of a pair of ribs elastically deformable in the same direction as the projecting direction of the pair of overhanging portions, and a base having an engaging claw and bridging the pair of ribs. Elastic pieces that can be elastically deformed in the direction away from the wall are formed. The second claw member is formed with an engaging claw and a stepped portion having an insertion hole. The second receiving member is a U-shaped member having an opening composed of ribs that are elastically deformable in the same direction as the bulging direction of the engaging claw, and an elastic piece that has the engaging claw and is elastically deformable in the direction away from the rib. And are formed. When the inner panel is relatively joined to the inside of the outer panel, the elastic piece of the first receiving member is pulled into the insertion hole of the first claw member along with this joining, and the first receiving member is joined. A pair of overhanging portions of the first claw member are inserted into the opening of the member. Along with this pulling, the elastic piece of the first receiving member is elastically deformed so that the engaging claw of the first receiving member gets over the insertion hole of the first claw member. Further, with this insertion, the pair of ribs of the first receiving member are elastically deformed so that the pair of overhanging portions of the first claw member get over the pair of ribs of the first receiving member. Eventually, when the overcoming of the insertion hole of the first claw member and the overcoming of the pair of ribs of the first receiving member are completed, the first engaging structure is put into the engaged state. On the other hand, with this joining, the elastic piece of the second receiving member is pulled into the insertion hole of the second claw member, and the engaging claw of the second claw member is inserted into the opening of the second receiving member. It gets caught. Along with this pulling, the elastic piece of the second receiving member is elastically deformed so that the engaging claw of the second receiving member gets over the insertion hole of the second claw member. Further, with this insertion, the ribs of the second receiving member are elastically deformed so that the engaging claws of the second claw member get over the ribs of the second receiving member. Eventually, when the overcoming of the insertion hole of the second claw member and the overcoming of the rib of the second receiving member are completed, the second engaging structure is put into the engaged state. The U-shaped member of the first receiving member is formed with a notch cut out from the inner panel or the outer panel.

以下、本発明を実施するための形態を、図１〜２２を用いて説明する。まず、図１〜２を参照して、本発明の実施例に係るグローブボックス１の全体構成を説明する。グローブボックス１は、自動車のインストルメントパネルのうちの助手席の向かい側に小物入れとしての収納空間２ａを有するように設けられている。この収納空間２ａを開閉するリッド２は、意匠面を有するアウターパネル３と、アウターパネル３の内側に接合され収納空間２ａを形成する収納ボックス４ｄを有するインナーパネル４との２枚のパネル形状の部材から構成されている。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 22. First, the overall configuration of the glove box 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The glove box 1 is provided so as to have a storage space 2a as an accessory case on the opposite side of the passenger seat of the instrument panel of the automobile. The lid 2 that opens and closes the storage space 2a has two panel shapes, that is, an outer panel 3 having a design surface and an inner panel 4 having a storage box 4d joined to the inside of the outer panel 3 to form the storage space 2a. It is composed of members.

これら両パネル３、４の各内面３ａ、４ａの縁には、内側に向けて折れ曲がった屈曲部３ｂ、４ｂが形成されている（図１〜２参照）。これにより、これら両パネル３、４を接合させて成るリッド２の縁に隙間が生じることがない。そのため、出来上がったリッド２の見栄えを向上させることができる。なお、これら両パネル３、４の各内面３ａ、４ａは、２種類の係合構造５、６（第１の係合構造５、第２の係合構造６）によって接合されている（図３〜４参照）。以下に、これら第１の係合構造５と第２の係合構造６とを個別に説明する。 Bent portions 3b and 4b bent inward are formed on the edges of the inner surfaces 3a and 4a of both panels 3 and 4 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). As a result, there is no gap at the edge of the lid 2 formed by joining the two panels 3 and 4. Therefore, the appearance of the finished lid 2 can be improved. The inner surfaces 3a and 4a of both panels 3 and 4 are joined by two types of engaging structures 5 and 6 (first engaging structure 5 and second engaging structure 6) (FIG. 3). See ~ 4). Hereinafter, the first engaging structure 5 and the second engaging structure 6 will be described individually.

はじめに、図５〜６を参照して、第１の係合構造５から説明する。この第１の係合構造５は、インナーパネル４の内面４ａに設けられた第１の爪部材５ａと、この第１の爪部材５ａに対応するようにアウターパネル３の内面３ａに設けられた第１の受け部材５ｂとから構成されている。 First, the first engaging structure 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 6. The first engaging structure 5 is provided on the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3 so as to correspond to the first claw member 5a provided on the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 and the first claw member 5a. It is composed of a first receiving member 5b.

この第１の爪部材５ａは、インナーパネル４の内面４ａから突出するように形成された一対の張出部２０と、挿入孔２２ａを有しインナーパネル４の内面４ａから突出するように形成された段差部２２とから構成されている（図６参照）。この一対の張出部２０は、その先端側が丸みを帯びたＲ状を成している。これにより、後述するように、第１の受け部材５ｂの開口１０ａに第１の爪部材５ａの一対の張出部２０が挿し込まれていくとき、この挿し込みを滑らかに実施できる。 The first claw member 5a has a pair of overhanging portions 20 formed so as to protrude from the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4, and an insertion hole 22a, and is formed so as to protrude from the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4. It is composed of a stepped portion 22 (see FIG. 6). The pair of overhanging portions 20 have an R shape with a rounded tip side thereof. As a result, as will be described later, when the pair of overhanging portions 20 of the first claw member 5a are inserted into the opening 10a of the first receiving member 5b, this insertion can be smoothly performed.

なお、このインナーパネル４の屈曲部４ｂにおける段差部２２の両側には、切欠４ｃが設けられている。これにより、これら両パネル３、４を接合させたとき、アウターパネル３の一対の補助壁１８がインナーパネル４の屈曲部４ｂに干渉することを防止できる。このように構成されている第１の爪部材５ａは、インナーパネル４の内面４ａの適宜の５個所に形成されている（図４参照）。 Notches 4c are provided on both sides of the stepped portion 22 in the bent portion 4b of the inner panel 4. As a result, when the two panels 3 and 4 are joined, it is possible to prevent the pair of auxiliary walls 18 of the outer panel 3 from interfering with the bent portion 4b of the inner panel 4. The first claw member 5a configured in this way is formed at appropriate five positions on the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 (see FIG. 4).

一方、第１の受け部材５ｂは、開口１０ａを有するように略コ字状にアウターパネル３の内面３ａから突出するように形成されたコ字部材１０と、係合爪１６ａを有しアウターパネル３の内面３ａから突出するように形成された弾性片１６とから構成されている（図５参照）。このコ字部材１０は、基壁１２と、この基壁１２の両側から弾性を有するように張り出した一対のリブ１４と、この一対のリブ１４からさらに張り出した一対の補助壁１８とから構成されている。この図５からも明らかなように、基壁１２は、一対のリブ１４を橋渡すように形成されている。この一対のリブ１４は、一対の張出部２０の張り出し方向と同じ方向に弾性変形可能に形成されている。また、この弾性片１６は、基壁１２から離れる方向に弾性変形可能に形成されている。 On the other hand, the first receiving member 5b has a U-shaped member 10 formed so as to have an opening 10a so as to protrude from the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3, and an engaging claw 16a. It is composed of an elastic piece 16 formed so as to protrude from the inner surface 3a of No. 3 (see FIG. 5). The U-shaped member 10 is composed of a base wall 12, a pair of ribs 14 projecting from both sides of the base wall 12 so as to have elasticity, and a pair of auxiliary walls 18 further projecting from the pair of ribs 14. ing. As is clear from FIG. 5, the base wall 12 is formed so as to bridge a pair of ribs 14. The pair of ribs 14 are formed so as to be elastically deformable in the same direction as the overhanging direction of the pair of overhanging portions 20. Further, the elastic piece 16 is formed so as to be elastically deformable in a direction away from the base wall 12.

これら第１の爪部材５ａと第１の受け部材５ｂとから第１の係合構造５は構成されている。また、この弾性片１６の基端側の両縁には、一対の補助リブ１６ｂが形成されている。このように構成されている第１の受け部材５ｂは、第１の爪部材５ａに対応するように、アウターパネル３の内面３ａの適宜の５個所に形成されている（図３参照）。 The first engaging structure 5 is composed of the first claw member 5a and the first receiving member 5b. Further, a pair of auxiliary ribs 16b are formed on both edges of the elastic piece 16 on the proximal end side. The first receiving member 5b configured in this way is formed at appropriate five positions on the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3 so as to correspond to the first claw member 5a (see FIG. 3).

次に、図７〜１３を参照して、この第１の係合構造５の係合動作について説明する。まず、図７、１０に示すように、アウターパネル３の内面３ａにインナーパネル４の内面４ａを接合させていく。すると、第１の爪部材５ａの挿入孔２２ａに第１の受け部材５ｂの弾性片１６が引き込まれていくと共に、第１の受け部材５ｂの開口１０ａに第１の爪部材５ａの一対の張出部２０が挿し込まれていく。 Next, the engagement operation of the first engagement structure 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 13. First, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 is joined to the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3. Then, the elastic piece 16 of the first receiving member 5b is pulled into the insertion hole 22a of the first claw member 5a, and a pair of tensions of the first claw member 5a are drawn into the opening 10a of the first receiving member 5b. The protrusion 20 is inserted.

この引き込まれにともない、第１の受け部材５ｂの係合爪１６ａが第１の爪部材５ａの挿入孔２２ａを乗り越えるように第１の受け部材５ｂの弾性片１６が弾性変形していく（図８参照）。やがて、第１の爪部材５ａの挿入孔２２ａの乗り越えが完了すると、この第１の受け部材５ｂの弾性変形した弾性片１６が弾性変形する前の状態に戻される（復元する）。 Along with this pulling, the elastic piece 16 of the first receiving member 5b is elastically deformed so that the engaging claw 16a of the first receiving member 5b gets over the insertion hole 22a of the first claw member 5a (FIG. 8). Eventually, when the insertion hole 22a of the first claw member 5a is completely overcome, the elastically deformed elastic piece 16 of the first receiving member 5b is returned (restored) to the state before the elastic deformation.

これにより、第１の受け部材５ｂの弾性片１６の係合爪１６ａが第１の爪部材５ａの挿入孔２２ａの縁に引っ掛かる（図９参照）。この引っ掛かかり状態を「第１Ａの引っ掛かり状態」と記す。この第１Ａの引っ掛かり状態になると、第１の受け部材５ｂの補助リブ１６ｂの先端面１６ｃと第１の爪部材５ａの段差部２２の表面２２ｂとが接した状態となる。そのため、この第１Ａの引っ掛かり状態において、第１の爪部材５ａの一対の張出部２０の挿し込み／抜き方向に生じるガタを抑制できる。 As a result, the engaging claw 16a of the elastic piece 16 of the first receiving member 5b is caught by the edge of the insertion hole 22a of the first claw member 5a (see FIG. 9). This hooked state is referred to as a "first A hooked state". When the first A is caught, the tip surface 16c of the auxiliary rib 16b of the first receiving member 5b and the surface 22b of the stepped portion 22 of the first claw member 5a are in contact with each other. Therefore, in the hooked state of the first A, play that occurs in the insertion / removal direction of the pair of overhanging portions 20 of the first claw member 5a can be suppressed.

一方、この挿し込まれにともない、第１の爪部材５ａの一対の張出部２０が乗り越えるように第１の受け部材５ｂの一対のリブ１４が弾性変形していく（図１１参照）。やがて、第１の受け部材５ｂの一対のリブ１４の乗り越えが完了すると、この第１の受け部材５ｂの弾性変形した一対のリブ１４が弾性変形する前の状態に戻される（復元する）。これにより、第１の爪部材５ａの張出部２０が第１の受け部材５ｂの一対のリブ１４の縁に引っ掛かる（図１２参照）。この引っ掛かかり状態を「第１Ｂの引っ掛かり状態」と記す。これら第１Ａの引っ掛かり状態と第１Ｂの引っ掛かり状態とによって、第１の係合構造５が係合状態になる（図１３参照）。 On the other hand, with this insertion, the pair of ribs 14 of the first receiving member 5b are elastically deformed so that the pair of overhanging portions 20 of the first claw member 5a get over (see FIG. 11). Eventually, when the pair of ribs 14 of the first receiving member 5b is completely overcome, the pair of elastically deformed ribs 14 of the first receiving member 5b are returned (restored) to the state before the elastic deformation. As a result, the overhanging portion 20 of the first claw member 5a is caught by the edge of the pair of ribs 14 of the first receiving member 5b (see FIG. 12). This hooked state is referred to as a "first B hooked state". The first engaging structure 5 is brought into the engaged state by the first hooked state of the first A and the hooked state of the first B (see FIG. 13).

なお、上述した第１Ｂの引っ掛かり状態を達成させる過程において、第１の受け部材５ｂの一対のリブ１４を弾性変形させるため、この相手側である第１の爪部材５ａの一対の張出部２０を弾性変形させる必要がない。そのため、インナーパネル４において、この一対の張出部２０の周囲をスリットを介してガイドする補助部材を設ける必要がない。したがって、インナーパネル４の内面４ａからの一対の張出部２０の張り出し量（内側に向けた突出量）を抑えることができるため、出来上がるリッド２の厚みを薄くできる。このことは、後述する係合爪４０においても同様である。 In the process of achieving the hooked state of the first B described above, in order to elastically deform the pair of ribs 14 of the first receiving member 5b, the pair of overhanging portions 20 of the first claw member 5a on the other side are elastically deformed. Does not need to be elastically deformed. Therefore, in the inner panel 4, it is not necessary to provide an auxiliary member that guides the periphery of the pair of overhanging portions 20 through slits. Therefore, the amount of protrusion (the amount of protrusion toward the inside) of the pair of overhanging portions 20 from the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 can be suppressed, so that the thickness of the finished lid 2 can be reduced. This also applies to the engaging claw 40 described later.

次に、図１４〜１５を参照して、第２の係合構造６を説明する。この第２の係合構造６は、インナーパネル４の内面４ａに設けられた第２の爪部材６ａと、この第２の爪部材６ａに対応するようにアウターパネル３の内面３ａに設けられた第２の受け部材６ｂとから構成されている。 Next, the second engaging structure 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 15. The second engaging structure 6 is provided on the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3 so as to correspond to the second claw member 6a provided on the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 and the second claw member 6a. It is composed of a second receiving member 6b.

この第２の爪部材６ａは、インナーパネル４の内面４ａから突出するように形成された係合爪４０と、挿入孔４２ａを有しインナーパネル４の内面４ａから突出するように形成された段差部４２とから構成されている（図１５参照）。この係合爪４０は、その先端側が丸みを帯びたテーパ状を成している。これにより、後述するように、第２の受け部材６ｂの開口３０ａに第２の爪部材６ａの係合爪４０が挿し込まれていくとき、この挿し込みを滑らかに実施できる。このように構成されている第２の爪部材６ａは、インナーパネル４の内面４ａの適宜の１４個所に形成されている（図４参照）。 The second claw member 6a has an engaging claw 40 formed so as to protrude from the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4, and a step having an insertion hole 42a and formed so as to protrude from the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4. It is composed of a part 42 (see FIG. 15). The engaging claw 40 has a tapered shape with a rounded tip side thereof. As a result, as will be described later, when the engaging claw 40 of the second claw member 6a is inserted into the opening 30a of the second receiving member 6b, this insertion can be smoothly performed. The second claw member 6a configured in this way is formed at appropriate 14 positions on the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 (see FIG. 4).

一方、第２の受け部材６ｂは、開口３０ａを有するように略コ字状にアウターパネル３の内面３ａから突出するように形成されたコ字部材３０と、係合爪３６ａを有しアウターパネル３の内面３ａから突出するように形成された弾性片３６とから構成されている（図１４参照）。このコ字部材１０は、一対の基壁３２と、この一対の基壁３２から弾性を有するように橋渡したリブ３４とから構成されている。このリブ３４は、係合爪４０膨出方向と同じ方向に弾性変形可能に形成されている。この弾性片３６は、リブ３４から離れる方向に弾性変形可能に形成されている。 On the other hand, the second receiving member 6b has a U-shaped member 30 formed so as to have an opening 30a so as to protrude from the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3 in a substantially U-shape, and an outer panel having an engaging claw 36a. It is composed of an elastic piece 36 formed so as to protrude from the inner surface 3a of No. 3 (see FIG. 14). The U-shaped member 10 is composed of a pair of base walls 32 and ribs 34 bridged from the pair of base walls 32 so as to have elasticity. The rib 34 is formed so as to be elastically deformable in the same direction as the engaging claw 40 bulging direction. The elastic piece 36 is formed so as to be elastically deformable in a direction away from the rib 34.

これら第２の爪部材６ａと第２の受け部材６ｂとから第２の係合構造６は構成されている。また、この弾性片３６の基端側の両縁には、一対の補助リブ３６ｂが形成されている。このように構成されている第２の受け部材６ｂは、第２の爪部材６ａに対応するように、アウターパネル３の内面３ａの適宜の１４個所に形成されている（図３参照）。 The second engaging structure 6 is composed of the second claw member 6a and the second receiving member 6b. Further, a pair of auxiliary ribs 36b are formed on both edges of the elastic piece 36 on the proximal end side. The second receiving member 6b configured in this way is formed at appropriate 14 positions on the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3 so as to correspond to the second claw member 6a (see FIG. 3).

次に、図１６〜２２を参照して、この第２の係合構造６の係合動作について説明する。まず、図１６、１９に示すように、アウターパネル３の内面３ａにインナーパネル４の内面４ａを接合させていく。すると、第２の爪部材６ａの挿入孔４２ａに第２の受け部材６ｂの弾性片３６が引き込まれていくと共に、第２の受け部材６ｂの開口３０に第２の爪部材６ａの係合爪４０が挿し込まれていく。 Next, the engagement operation of the second engagement structure 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 22. First, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 19, the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 is joined to the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3. Then, the elastic piece 36 of the second receiving member 6b is pulled into the insertion hole 42a of the second claw member 6a, and the engaging claw of the second claw member 6a is pulled into the opening 30 of the second receiving member 6b. 40 is inserted.

この引き込まれにともない、第２の受け部材６ｂの係合爪３６ａが第２の爪部材６ａの挿入孔４２ａを乗り越えるように第２の受け部材６ｂの弾性片３６が弾性変形していく（図１７参照）。やがて、第２の爪部材６ａの挿入孔４２ａの乗り越えが完了すると、この第２の受け部材６ｂの弾性変形した弾性片３６が弾性変形する前の状態に戻される（復元する）。 Along with this pulling, the elastic piece 36 of the second receiving member 6b is elastically deformed so that the engaging claw 36a of the second receiving member 6b gets over the insertion hole 42a of the second claw member 6a (FIG. 17). Eventually, when the insertion hole 42a of the second claw member 6a is completely overcome, the elastically deformed elastic piece 36 of the second receiving member 6b is returned (restored) to the state before the elastic deformation.

これにより、第２の受け部材６ｂの弾性片３６の係合爪３６ａが第３の爪部材６ａの挿入孔４２ａの縁に引っ掛かる（図１８参照）。この引っ掛かかり状態を「第２Ａの引っ掛かり状態」と記す。この第２Ａの引っ掛かり状態になると、第２の受け部材６ｂの補助リブ３６ｂの先端面３６ｃと第２の爪部材６ａの段差部４２の表面４２ｂとが接した状態となる。そのため、この第２Ａの引っ掛かり状態において、第２の爪部材６ａの係合爪４０の挿し込み／抜き方向に生じるガタを抑制できる。 As a result, the engaging claw 36a of the elastic piece 36 of the second receiving member 6b is caught by the edge of the insertion hole 42a of the third claw member 6a (see FIG. 18). This hooked state is referred to as a "second A hooked state". When the second A is caught, the tip surface 36c of the auxiliary rib 36b of the second receiving member 6b and the surface 42b of the stepped portion 42 of the second claw member 6a are in contact with each other. Therefore, in the hooked state of the second A, play that occurs in the insertion / removal direction of the engaging claw 40 of the second claw member 6a can be suppressed.

一方、この挿し込まれにともない、第２の爪部材６ａの係合爪４０が乗り越えるように第２の受け部材６ｂのリブ３４が弾性変形していく（図２０参照）。やがて、第２の受け部材６ｂのリブ３４の乗り越えが完了すると、この第２の受け部材６ｂの弾性変形したリブ３４が弾性変形する前の状態に戻される（復元する）。これにより、第２の爪部材６ａの係合爪４０が第２の受け部材６ｂのリブ３４の縁に引っ掛かる（図２１参照）。この引っ掛かかり状態を「第２Ｂの引っ掛かり状態」と記す。これら第２Ａの引っ掛かり状態と第２Ｂの引っ掛かり状態とによって、第２の係合構造６が係合状態になる（図２２参照）。 On the other hand, with this insertion, the rib 34 of the second receiving member 6b is elastically deformed so that the engaging claw 40 of the second claw member 6a gets over (see FIG. 20). Eventually, when the overcoming of the rib 34 of the second receiving member 6b is completed, the elastically deformed rib 34 of the second receiving member 6b is returned (restored) to the state before the elastic deformation. As a result, the engaging claw 40 of the second claw member 6a is caught on the edge of the rib 34 of the second receiving member 6b (see FIG. 21). This hooked state is referred to as a "second B hooked state". The second engaging structure 6 is brought into the engaged state by the hooked state of the second A and the hooked state of the second B (see FIG. 22).

これら第１の係合構造５が係合状態になることと、第２の係合構造６が係合状態になることとによりアウターパネル３の内面３ａにインナーパネル４の内面４ａが接合されることとなる。すなわち、アウターパネル３の内側にインナーパネル４が接合されることとなる。このようにして接合されることでリッド２が出来上がる。なお、上述した第１の係合構造５の係合動作と第２の係合構造６の係合動作との説明を個別に説明したが、これらの係合動作は同時に行われるものである。 When the first engaging structure 5 is in the engaged state and the second engaging structure 6 is in the engaged state, the inner surface 4a of the inner panel 4 is joined to the inner surface 3a of the outer panel 3. It will be. That is, the inner panel 4 is joined to the inside of the outer panel 3. By joining in this way, the lid 2 is completed. Although the above-described explanations of the engagement operation of the first engagement structure 5 and the engagement operation of the second engagement structure 6 have been described individually, these engagement operations are performed at the same time.
