The lid 4 is a horizontally long rectangle and is slightly curved, and as shown in Figs. Step 3 leaves part of the left side of this lid 4 and uses the right side as the front wall 4a for the instrument panel. A box body 3a is constituted by a back wall 5, left and right side walls 6, and a bottom wall 7 hidden inside the box 1. It is. The front wall 4a is wide open at the top with respect to the back wall 5, and as it goes downward, it approaches and bends. It is bent to form a bottom wall 7 and connected to the back wall 5.

[0013] The box body 3a is formed using the right side of the lid 4 as the front wall 4a, as described above. The remaining extension 4b extending from the front wall 4a toward the driver's seat side (left side) has a A flat bag-shaped card holder 8 is attached to the inside.

[0014] At the lower right side of the instrument panel 1, corresponding to the lid 4, there is a horizontally long rectangular shape. An opening 1a is formed, and a space for the box body is prepared in front of the front wall 4a. A side plate 9 of the heater unit is disposed in front of the protruding portion 4b. Note that when the lid 4 is closed, the heater unit side plate 9 is placed close along the extending portion 4b of the lid 4. Although they are in contact with each other, there is a slight gap between them and the card holder 8.

[0015] The opening/closing mechanism of the glove box 3 as described above will be explained. The interior of the instrument panel 1 in which the glove box 3 is housed is shown in FIG. While the bracket 10 is bent halfway from the top wall of the instrument panel 1, A hinge bracket 11 is fixed to the lower end of the hinge bracket 11. The bracket 11 is also fixed to the instrument panel 1. It also serves as reinforcement for top panel 1, but its lower end is bent diagonally and the bent part A hinge 12 is provided between 11a and the lower end protrusion 5a of the back wall 5 of the box body 3a. The glove box 3 is swingably supported by the hinge 12.

[0016] Figure 5 is an external view of the glove box 3 taken out as a single unit. A damper support plate 15 is installed between the left and right side walls 6 so as to partially cover the back side of the opening of the body 3a. A damper mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the damper support plate 15. In other words, the cylindrical damper 16 is placed on the damper support plate 15 and is oriented in the left and right direction. The rod 18 protrudes to the right from the cylindrical cylinder 17 of the damper 16. are doing.

[0017] As shown in FIG. The spring 20 biases this piston 19 to the left and the cylinder An orifice 21 is formed on the bottom of the cylinder 17, and the orifice 21 is inserted into the drawer of the rod 18. Demonstrates a dampening effect. A cable 22 whose one end is fixed to this rod 18 extends to the right and is attached to the damper support plate. It is hooked on the hook 23 fixed to the holder 15, bent at a substantially right angle, and provided at the tip of the hook 23. A clip 24 is fitted into the hole 10a of the bracket 10.

[0018] Therefore, when the lid 4 is closed, the damper support plate 15 approaches the bracket 10. The cable 22 extending from the bracket 10 is connected to the action of the piston 19 of the damper 16. It is being pulled to the left. When the lid 4 is opened at this point, the damper 16 works to gradually extend the rod 18 and Since the bull 22 is extended, the weight of the glove box 3 will not cause it to open all at once. The glove box 3 swings downward at an appropriate speed to open the lid 4. When the lid 4 is closed again, the cable 22 is returned to its original state by the spring 20.

The handle 31 is equipped with a locking mechanism. It is being FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the handle 31 equipped with a locking mechanism, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view. .

[0020] The handle 31 swings around the pivot 32 when you hook your finger on the lower end hook 31a and pull it toward you. However, the swinging of the handle 31 causes the slider 33 to slide downward via the spacer. The head 33a of the slider 33 has a smooth curved surface on the back side, and the back side is open on the front side. A U-shaped locking member 34 is provided, and the slider 33 is urged upward by a spring. When it is in the raised position, the opening of the locking member 34 is closed, and the swinging of the handle 31 allows the sliding When the Idar 33 descends, the opening can be opened.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 7, a receiving member 35 for a key 36 is arranged on the right side of the handle 31, and a receiving member 35 for a key 36 is arranged on the right side of the handle 31. It can be locked and unlocked by pushing it in and turning it. In other words, when in the locked state, the spacer connecting the handle 31 and the slider 33 If the handle 31 comes off, the swinging motion of the handle 31 is not transmitted to the slider 33, and the slider 33 does not descend and the locking part The opening of the material 34 remains closed.

[0022] On the other hand, there is a bracket on the instrument panel 1 side that corresponds to the head of the slider 33. The striker 38, which is fixed at both open upper ends, moves slightly downward. It is bent toward the front and hung vertically. When the open lid 4 is swung upward and closed, the head of the slider 33 curves smoothly. The surface contacts the striker 38, and the slider 33 slides downward, causing the locking member 34 to open. Open the mouth and store the tip of the striker 38 inside the locking member 34, and at the same time slide it. The driver 33 comes out of contact with the tip of the striker 38 and protrudes upward again, and the locking part The striker 38 is locked by the slider 33 and the locking member 34 by closing the opening of the material 34. This allows the lid 4 to remain closed.

[0023] If the lock is unlocked, hook your finger on the hook 31a at the lower end of the handle 31 and pull it toward you. When the lid 4 can be opened. When the key 36 is inserted into the receiving member 35 and locked with the lid 4 closed, the handle 31 swings. However, the slider 33 does not move, so the slider 33 does not move down and the striker 38 It is impossible to open the lid 4 while maintaining the locked state.

[0024] In the glove box 3 as described above, the left side of the box body 3a of the lid 4 is As mentioned above, the card holder 8 is attached to the inside of the portion 4b extending toward the driver's seat side. has been done. This card holder 8 is made up of three flat bags stacked one on top of the other with their positions sequentially shifted. This allows you to store three cards 40 in different positions, making it easy to visually check the cards you need. It can be taken out later.

[0025] In this way, the glove box 3 of this embodiment has an extension extending toward the driver's seat side of the lid 4. Since the card holder 8 is arranged inside the part 4b, when the driver opens the lid 4, The card holder 8 part is easy to see and the inserted card is not in the correct position. It is easy to identify the type of card and take it out, so you can quickly take out the card you need. It is possible to take out.

[0026] Various items can be placed in the glove box 3, some of which are magnetic. may be stored, and even in such cases, the card holder 8 may be stored in the box body 3a. Since the magnetic card is placed in a separate position, even if a magnetic card is stored in the card holder 8, it will not be recorded. Recorded contents will not be destroyed.

[0027] Also, even if the card is not fully inserted into the card holder 8 and the lid 4 is closed, Is it maintained between the heater unit side plate 9 or the heater unit side plate 9? The card will not be damaged even if it slips through the gap and falls to the floor. Furthermore, the card holder 8 is located inside the lid 4, and when the lid 4 is closed and locked, the card holder 8 is placed inside the lid 4.
