Specifically, the lid 3 can swing because it is in an upright state (see the two-dot chain line) and in a downturned state (see the solid line) with respect to the box body 2. When the lid 3 is in the inverted state, the opening 2B is in the closed state. When the lid 3 is in the upright position, the opening 2B is in the open state.

2. 2. Structure of the lid <Overview of the structure>
As shown in FIG. 2, the lid 3 is configured to have at least a skin portion 4, an upper lid 5, a lower lid 6, and the like. The lower lid 6 is a member located on the storage portion 2A side when the opening 2B is closed.

The upper lid 5 is a member located on the side opposite to the storage portion 2A, that is, on the upper side of the lower lid 6 with the lower lid 6 interposed therebetween when the opening 2B is closed. The skin portion 4 is a member that covers the side of the upper lid 5 opposite to the lower lid 6 to form a design surface.

The upper lid 5 and the lower lid 6 are connected by at least one engaging mechanism 7, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, 10 engaging mechanisms 7 are provided. As shown in FIG. 4, each engaging mechanism 7 has an engaging portion 8, an engaged portion 9, and the like.

In the present embodiment, each engaging portion 8 is provided on the lower lid 6, and each engaged portion 9 is provided on the upper lid 5. It should be noted that each engaging mechanism 7 has the same structure. The following description is, for example, a description of the engaging mechanism 7 arranged on the second right end side from the front in FIG.

<engagement mechanism>
As shown in FIG. 5, the engaging mechanism 7 connects the upper lid 5 and the lower lid 6 by engaging the engaging portion 8 so as to be hooked on the engaged portion 9. The engaging portion 8 is displaceable between a first position (see FIG. 5) engaged with the engaged portion 9 and a second position separable from the engaged portion 9. The second position according to the present embodiment is a position shifted to the hinge portion 10 (see FIG. 3) side with respect to the first position.

The hinge portion 10 connects the lid 3 to the box body 2 so as to be swingable. The hinge portion 10 is located at the rear end of the lid 3 when the console box 1 is mounted on the vehicle seat.

As shown in FIG. 7, a through hole 5A to which the engaging portion 8 can be attached and detached is provided on the hinge portion 10 side of the engaged portion 9 of the upper lid 5, that is, on the rear side of the engaged portion 9. There is. As shown in FIG. 8, the engaging portion 8 is composed of a hook-shaped or L-shaped protruding portion protruding toward the upper lid 5.

As shown in FIG. 6, on the tip end side of the engaging portion 8, a protruding portion 8A protruding toward the engaged portion 9 side (in this embodiment, the lower lid 6) is provided. The engaged portion 9 is provided with a protrusion 9A that protrudes in the direction opposite to the protrusion 8A.

In a state where the engaging portion 8 and the engaged portion 9 are engaged, the protrusion 8A and the protrusion 9A are engaged so as to be caught by each other. The tip of the engaging portion 8 means the tip in the direction from the second position side to the first position side. The tip of the engaging portion 8 according to the present embodiment is the front end of the engaging portion 8.

As shown in FIG. 8, a wall portion 8B is provided at the side end of the engaging portion 8 so as to cover the side end of the engaging portion 8. The protrusion 8A, the wall 8B, and the engaging portion 8 are integrally molded products integrally molded with resin together with the lower lid 6.

As shown in FIG. 7, a through hole 5B is provided in a portion of the upper lid 5 adjacent to the engaged portion 9. The through hole 5B is a hole through which the wall portion 8B can penetrate. The engaged portion 9 and the protrusion 9A are integrally molded products integrally molded with resin together with the upper lid 5.

<Regulatory Department>
At least one screw 11 shown in FIG. 9 is an example of the regulation unit. The restricting portion, that is, the screw 11, regulates the relative displacement of the engaging portion 8 from the first position to the second position side (rear side). Therefore, the screw 11 is located at a portion facing the box body 2 when the lid 3 is in an upright state with respect to the box body 2.

The screw 11 according to this embodiment is composed of a P screw. The screw 11 penetrates the lower lid 6 and reaches the mounting portion 11A (see FIG. 4) provided on the upper lid 5. Then, during the assembling work in which the lower lid 6 is assembled to the upper lid 5, the operator or the automatic assembling machine attaches the lower lid 6 to the upper lid 5 with the engaging portions 8 inserted into the through holes 5A. After being displaced relatively to the front side, the screw 11 is tightened to the mounting portion 11A.

3. 3. Features of the console box according to the present embodiment The lid 3 of the console box 1 has an upper lid 5 and a lower lid 6. The upper lid 5 and the lower lid 6 are connected by engaging the engaging portion 8 with the engaged portion 9. Then, the engaging portion 8 can be displaced between the first position engaged with the engaged portion 9 and the second position separated from the engaged portion 9. The screw 11 forming the restricting portion restricts the engaging portion 8 from being relatively displaced from the first position to the second position side.

As a result, in the console box 1, when the lower lid 6 is displaced to the second position with respect to the upper lid 5 and the regulation by the screw 11 is released, the lower lid 6 is disengaged from the upper lid 5. That is, in the lid 3 related to the console box 1, the lower lid 6 cannot be disengaged from the upper lid 5 only by disengaging the engaging portion 8 and the engaged portion 9.

The lid 3 is swingably connected to the box body 2. The screw 11 is provided at a position facing the box body 2 when the lid 3 is in an upright state with respect to the box body 2.

As a result, in the console box 1, when the opening 2B of the storage portion is closed by the lid 3, the screw 11 is located at a portion that is difficult to see from the user of the console box 1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the console box 1 from being impaired in design.

Further, a protrusion 8A protruding toward the engaged portion 9 side is provided on the tip end side of the engaging portion 8, and the engaging portion 9 is provided with a protrusion 9A protruding in the direction opposite to the protrusion 8A. Is provided. As a result, the engagement between the engaging portion 8 and the engaged portion 9 can be strengthened.
