Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a resin article storage box that is incorporated into, for example, a dashboard of an automobile.

2. Description of the Related Art Article storage boxes incorporated into automobile dashboards are molded from synthetic resin materials, and have conventionally generally been constructed as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. That is, 1 is a box body having an opening 3 on the front surface. In this box body 1, both side surfaces 5, 5 are inclined outwardly so as to gradually expand toward the opening 3, and the top surface 7 is also inclined upwardly so as to gradually expand toward the opening 3. There is. Therefore, the box body 1 has a storage chamber 1 that gradually narrows from the opening 3 toward the back surface 9.
1. Further, protrusions 13, 1 along the depth direction are provided on both side surfaces 5, 5 of the box body 1.
A guide groove 15 is formed by the guide grooves 3, and both ends of the tray 17 are inserted and supported in these guide grooves 15,15. Therefore, the storage chamber 11 is the tray 1
It is divided into upper and lower sections by 7, and articles 19 can be stored in two levels, upper and lower.

However, since the conventional tray 17 is a mere flat plate, the articles 19 placed on the tray 17
may slip off due to vibration. In addition, when attaching or detaching the tray 17, the end in the insertion direction is pulled out by grasping it with your fingers, but it is difficult to pull it out because there is no catch for your fingers.Especially, the box body 1 and the tray 17 are molded from synthetic resin material. As a result, the tip of the tray 17 may be thermally deformed as shown by the broken line, making it impossible to attach or detach it.

This idea was devised in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a flange at the end of the tray in the insertion direction to prevent items from slipping and to facilitate the operation of attaching and detaching the tray. Another object of the present invention is to provide a resin article storage box that prevents thermal deformation of the tray and allows smooth attachment and detachment of the tray.

This invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 in FIGS. 5 to 10 indicates a box body integrally molded from a synthetic resin material, and since the basic structure is the same as the conventional one, the same reference numerals will be given and the explanation will be omitted. Guide portions 21, 21 facing each other are provided on both side surfaces 5, 5 in the box body 1 along the depth direction. In this guide portion 21, a part of the side surface 5 bulges outward, and
Two upper and lower guide grooves 23, 23 are formed having inner surfaces substantially parallel to a vertical plane that divides the front surface of the opening 3 of the box body 1 into left and right halves. Furthermore, between the guide grooves 23 and 23, there is a box main body 1.
A protruding strip 25 is provided that protrudes inward. Furthermore, an engaging portion 27 is provided on the back surface 9 within the box body 1. This engaging portion 27 is formed by three upper and lower protruding pieces 29a, 29b, 29c and engaging recesses 31a, 31b formed between them. Furthermore, engagement holes 33 are provided at the corners of both side surfaces 5, 5 and the back surface 9 of the box body 1.
33 are drilled.

On the other hand, 35 is a tray molded from a synthetic resin material. This tray 35 is made of a rectangular plate-like body, and flanges 37a, 37b, and 37c are formed by rising walls at both ends and a distal end thereof. The end sides of the flange portions 37a, 37b at both left and right ends are thickened portions 39, 39.
The thick portions 39, 39 have protrusions 41, 41 that fit into the guide grooves 23, 23 of the guide portion 21 and a fitting groove 43 that fits the protrusion 25 on the outer surface of the thick portions 39, 39. A fitting portion 44 is formed therein. That is, the protrusions 41, 41 and the fitting groove 43
is also provided substantially parallel to the vertical plane. Further, at the tips of the flange portions 37a, 37b, engagement claws 4 that can be elastically engaged with the engagement holes 33, 33 are provided.
5 and 45 are provided in a protruding manner, and the distal end portion of the tray 35 is configured to be selectively inserted into the engagement recess 31a or 31b of the engagement portion 27.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10A, tray 3
5 facing upward, that is, the flange portions 37a, 37b
When the box is inserted into the box body 1 with the ridges 41 and 37c facing upward, the protrusions 41 and 41 are inserted into the guide groove 2.
3 and 23, the fitting grooves 43 fit into the protrusions 25, respectively. In this state, when the tray 35 is pushed into the box body 1, the distal end of the tray 35 is inserted into the engagement recess 31b, and the engagement claws 45, 45 are elastically engaged with the engagement holes 33, 33. Therefore, the tray 35 is easily locked so that it cannot be pulled out, and is supported by both sides 5, 5 and the back 9 of the box body 1. Therefore, the article 4 is placed on the top surface of the tray 35.
7 is placed on the tray 35, and even if the article 47 moves on the top surface of the tray 35 due to vibrations while the car is running, the flange portion 37c acts as a stopper to prevent the article 47 from being bent. 47 can be prevented from slipping and falling.

Further, when the tray 35 is to be pulled out from the box body 1, the flange portion 37c of the tray 35 serves as a handle portion, so that the tray 35 can be pulled out easily. Therefore, by pulling out the tray 35 from the box body 1, even large items can be stored, and by turning the tray 35 upside down and inserting it into the box body 1, the flange 37c becomes downward, as shown in FIG. 10B. As shown, long article 4
7 can be stored in a stable state.

As explained above, according to this invention, thermal deformation of the tray can be prevented by supporting the tray at three points: the left and right ends and the tip. Moreover, when inserting the tray through the opening of the box body, check the position of the guide part as there are guide parts on both sides of the box body that partially bulge outward in the depth direction of the box body. The protrusions and fitting grooves at both ends of the tray can be easily positioned with respect to the guide grooves and protrusions forming the guide portion, and the tray can be inserted reliably. Furthermore, when the tray is inserted into the box body, the tip of the tray and the engaging part engage, the protrusions on both ends fit into the guide grooves, and the guide grooves fit with the protrusions. This has the effect of preventing the tray from wobbling. In addition, by providing a flange on the tray, it increases the rigidity of the tray, serves as a handle when pulling out, and serves as a stopper to prevent items from slipping, making it easier to attach and detach the tray. This has the advantage of being able to securely protect the goods and ensuring the protection of the goods.
