【Example】

Preferred embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First Example A first example will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5. Reference numeral 10 denotes a console box main body (hereinafter simply referred to as the "main body"), and its upper surface (upper edge of the opening) 11 is curved upward in the left-right direction (directions C and D in the figure) to form an arc shape. There is. Guide portions 13 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper surface 11 (lower side in the figure), with a space 12 at a predetermined distance maintained between the guide portions 13 and the inner surface 11a of the upper surface 11. Further, inside the main body 10, a box portion 14 for storing small items and the like is provided. The upper end portions of the front end and the rear end of this box portion 14 are bent to form a lid receiving portion 14a toward the front side (side B in the figure) and the rear side (side A in the figure), respectively, and the lid receiving portion A guide protrusion 14b is provided at the tip of 14a (see FIG. 5). Note that 11b is a lid stopper, which is attached downward to the inner surface 11a of the upper surface 11 and restricts the movement of the lid 15 (see FIG. 4).

0010 Similarly to the upper surface 11 of the main body 10, the lid 15 is also a circle that is convex upward in the left and right direction. It is arc-shaped. This lid 15 is the lid of the guide section 13 and the box section 14. It is supported from below by the receiving part 14a and can freely slide in the left and right directions within the space 12. The opening 16 is opened and closed. Also, the right side of lid 15 The side end (one end) 15a has an arcuate notch for holding cup 17. Two knobs 18 are provided, and a right knob 19 is attached to the inside thereof. So A left knob 20 is attached to the left end (the other end) 15b. child These left and right knobs 20, 19 are always kept on the top surface of the lid 15 by spring means (not shown). Since it is biased in the direction of protruding from the lid 15, it can be pushed into the lid 15 when necessary. I can do it.

[0011] When the lid 15 is closed, the left and right knobs 20 and 19 are exposed in the opening 16. , This prevents the lid 15 from wobbling [see Fig. 1 and Fig. 4(A)]. ]. Then, push the right knob 19 into the space 12 and slide the lid 15 to the right. When the opening 16 is opened, the opening 16 is opened over substantially the entire surface. In this state, the right side of the lid 15 The knob 19 is in contact with the lid stopper 11b, and the lid 15 will no longer move to the right. It does not slide [see Figures 2 and 4(B)]. Also, push the left knob 20 into the space 12. When the lid 15 is pushed in and slid to the left, the notch 1 for holding the cups 17 will appear. 8 is exposed through the opening 16, so that it can be used as a cup holder. this state In this case, the left knob 20 of the lid 15 is in contact with the lid stopper 11b. The upper lid 15 does not slide to the left [see FIGS. 3 and 4(C)].

0012 In this way, the upper surface 11 and the lid 15 of the main body 10 are shaped like a circle that is convex upward in the left and right direction. Since the lid 15 is arc-shaped and can be slid in either the left or right direction, the right side When it is slid, almost the entire surface of the opening 16 is opened, making it easier to use the console box. It's advantageous. In addition, since the lid 15 is stored inside the main body 10, it cannot be opened fully. The lid 15 does not get in the way, and the lid 15 can slide to the left or right. When the left and right knobs 20 and 19 are inside the space 12, one of the left and right knobs 20 and 19 is pressed against the main body 10. Because it is tamed, there is no wobbling. Furthermore, slide the lid 15 to the left. When the notch 18 for holding cups 17 is exposed in the opening 16, the cup holder It can be used as By adjusting the opening degree of the lid 15, , it is possible to securely hold even 17 kinds of cups having different thicknesses. to this Therefore, the console box can be used more effectively.

Second Embodiment A second embodiment will be explained based on FIGS. 6 to 8.

This box portion 23 has an opening 23a at the upper end, and flanges 23b are bent toward the left and right outer sides. The box portion 23 is attached to the main body 21 so that the flange 23b is slightly lifted from the upper surface 22 of the main body 21, and this gap is used as the guide groove 25.

[0014] Further, 26 is a lid, which is convex upward in the left and right direction like the upper surface 22 of the main body 21. It's curved. Then, the left and right ends are folded inward to form the slide portion 26a. The slide portion 26a is inserted into the guide groove 25. to this Therefore, the lid 26 is supported so as to be slidable in the front and rear directions, and opens and closes the opening 23a. . Furthermore, this lid 26 has a small opening 27 formed therein. A small lid 28 that opens and closes is provided. This small lid 28 is also compatible with the lid 26. It has a correspondingly curved shape and is arranged along the back surface of the lid 26, and the right end The portion (one end portion) 28a has an arc-shaped notch 30 for holding the cups 29. has been completed. When the lid 26 is opened, the small lid 28 slides left and right. When the small lid 28 is closed, it is stored inside the lid 26, and the small lid 2 When 8 is open, the left end (the other end) 28b is separated from the left end surface 26b of the lid 26. It protrudes and wraps around below the lid 26. That is, the left end 28 of the small lid 28 b will be located at the rear of the main body 21.

[0015] Next, the usage status will be explained. First, slide the lid 26 backward (direction A in the figure) and push it toward the rear of the main body 21. Let it come out. Next, slide the small lid 28 to the left (direction C in the figure) to open it slightly. Open your mouth 27. In this state, the left end 28b of the small lid 28 is below the lid 26. The front end (B side in the figure) touches the rear surface 21a of the main body 21. Therefore, the lid 26 is restricted from sliding forward. Also, small lid 2 A notch 30 for holding cups 29 provided on the right side end 28a of 8 is a small opening 27. Since the cup 29 is exposed, insert the cup 29 into this notch 30. Below this notch 30 On the other hand, since the left end 28b of the small lid 28 has come around, the cup 29 It will support the bottom of the type.

[0016] In this way, the lid 26 is provided on the upper surface 22 of the main body 21 so as to be slidable back and forth. Therefore, it can be used with the opening 23a fully open as in the conventional case. In addition, the upper surface 2 of the main body 21 2 and the lid 26 have an upwardly convex arc shape in the left-right direction, and the lid 26 is provided with a The small lid 28 is also shaped like an arc, so the lid 26 can be slid backwards. When the small lid 28 is slid to the left in the protruding state, the cup is inserted into the small opening 27. A notch 30 for holding type 29 is exposed. At the same time, the left end opposite to the notch 30 Since 28b goes under the lid 26, it is used as a holder for cups 29. It can be used as a cup holder. Also, at this time, The front end of the left side end 28b of the small lid 28 comes into contact with the rear surface 21a of the main body 21, and the lid Since the slide of the lid 26 is restricted, the lid 26 will not slide while being used as a cup holder. Beverage etc. will not be scattered due to movement.
