Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to the structure of a storage box used in an automobile console box or the like.

(Prior art) Storage boxes such as automobile console boxes are provided to store small items such as maps and cassette tapes, but it is better to have multiple storage compartments to store small items. Easy and convenient. For this reason, this storage box is provided with an outer lid and an inner lid, and a storage space is formed between the two lids, so that the storage box has two storage areas. It is considered. An example of such a storage box is the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-115444, in which an inner lid is removably attached to the box body, and an outer lid that covers the inner lid is attached. The lid is detachably attached to the inner lid. Therefore, in order to open only the outer lid and take out items in the storage space provided between the outer and inner lids, you must first unlock the outer and inner lids, and then open the box. To take out items inside the box, it is necessary to release the lock between the inner cover and the box body while keeping the outer cover and inner cover locked.
The operation is confusing because the opening operations are different. Furthermore, in this proposal, the outer cover and inner cover are locked using a magnet, but in this case, the locking portions of the inner cover and the box body are strong enough to resist the magnetic attraction force when only the outer cover is opened. It needs to be strong.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of these circumstances, the present invention provides that both the opening and closing of only the outer lid and the opening and closing of the outer lid and the inner lid as one can be done by unlocking the outer lid and the box body. The object of the present invention is to provide a storage box for an automobile that has a structure that allows easy opening and closing operations.

(Structure of the invention) The storage box of the invention includes a box main body, an outer lid that covers the box main body and is attached to be openable and closable, and a storage space formed between the outer cover and the box main body. The outer cover and the box body are integrally formed with a first locking part and a first operation part that releases the lock of the first locking part by external operation. A first locking member having a structure is provided on either one of the two, and the outer lid has a second locking portion that locks with the inner lid, and a second locking member provided on the surface of the outer lid. a second operation part for engaging and disengaging the inner cover and the outer cover by means of the second operating part;
It is characterized in that the latching member is provided independently of the first latching member.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a setter console having a storage box according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the storage box with the outer lid open,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing this center console disassembled into its component parts, and these Figs.
This will be explained using figures.

The center console part is console body 1
A storage box, an ashtray, etc. are attached to the console body 1, and the console body 1 is located on the front side of the vehicle (arrow F
side) It has a first opening 2 formed on the upper surface, a second opening 3 formed on the upper surface on the rear side of the vehicle body, and a third opening 4 formed on the rear end surface. The first opening 2 is an opening for attaching a shift lever, etc., and a shift lever for speed change protrudes through this opening. An ashtray assembly 40 consisting of an ashtray storage box 42 and an ashtray 43 is attached to the third opening 4 formed in the rear end surface of the console body 1 via a bracket 41.

The second opening 3 is an opening for attaching a storage box.
This storage box consists of an outer cover 10, an inner cover 20, and a box body 30, and the box body 30 is inserted into the second opening 2 and fixed to the console body 1. The inner lid 20 is placed on the box body 30 so as to cover the box body 30,
The rear end 21 of the inner lid 20 is rotatably engaged with the box body 30, and the front end 23 can be moved up and down about the rear end 21 to open and close. The outer cover 10 covers the inner cover 20 and is attached to the console body 1 by hinges 12, 12 attached to its rear end so as to be openable and closable about the hinges 12, 12. A stopper stay 11 is attached to the lower side of the outer lid 10. The lower end 11a of this stay 11 is inserted into the small opening 5 on the upper side of the console body 1, and the stay 11 allows the stopper to be removed. The amount of opening of the outer lid 10 when the lid 10 is opened is regulated as shown in FIG. A first latching member is provided on the lower surface of the front end of the outer lid 10 to be latched to the console body 1, and further,
A second hooking member is provided behind the first hooking member and is detachable from the engagement pins 24 of the inner lid 20. By operating the knob 14, which is movable in the direction (direction), the second locking member can be engaged with and disengaged from the inner lid. The detailed structure of this storage box will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

Figures 4 to 6 are views showing only the storage box taken out. Figure 4 is a front view of the storage box seen from the front, Figure 5 is a sectional view along the arrow -, and Figure 6 is the arrow -. FIG.
Hinge 12, 12 at the rear end of the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20
The rear end 21 is attached to the console body 1 so as to be rotatable on the same axis, so that both lids 10 and 20 can be opened and closed together or only the outer lid 10 can be opened and closed about the same axis. I am now able to do this. On the lower surface of the front end of the outer lid 10, a first hooking member 16 having an L-shaped cross section is attached to the pin 1.
It is rotatably attached around 6a. The first locking member 16 is biased counterclockwise in the figure by a spring attached to the pin 16a.
c is locked to the protrusion 1a of the console body. Therefore, the passenger opens and closes the outer cover 10 by hand.
This is done by pushing the first operating portion 16b of the locking member 16 upward in the figure to release the lock between the first locking portion 16c and the protrusion 1a.

Furthermore, on the front part of the outer lid 10, there is a knob (second operation part) 14 and a hook (second locking part) that can be moved left and right (in the direction of arrow A) integrally with the knob 14.
A second latching member consisting of 15, 15 is attached. When the hooks 15, 15 are moved in the direction of arrow A by operating the knob 14 as shown in FIG. 6, they engage with the engagement pins 24, 24 of the inner lid 20,
The system is configured such that the withdrawal takes place. Therefore, after operating the knob 14 to engage the hooks 15, 15 and the engagement pins 24, 24, when the first locking member 16 is released and the outer lid 10 is opened, the inner lid 2
0 is also lifted up integrally with the outer lid 10, allowing objects to be taken in and out of the box body 30. vice versa,
Operate the knob to connect hooks 15, 15 and engagement pin 2.
4 and 24 and then open the outer cover 10, only the outer cover 10 can be opened, so the inner cover 2
You can take things in and out of 0.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, when the inner lid is provided inside the outer lid that covers the box body and the storage space is provided between the outer lid and the inner lid, the box body The outer cover can be opened and closed freely by operating the engagement mechanism between the outer cover and the outer cover, and the outer cover and the inner cover can be engaged and detached by operating the operating section provided on the surface of the outer cover. Therefore, by operating the operation part on the surface of the outer cover, you can select either to open and close the outer cover alone or to open and close the outer cover and inner cover as one, and the box body and the outer cover can be opened and closed. By simply opening the outer cover by operating the engagement/disengagement mechanism with the cover, the outer cover alone or the outer cover and the inner cover can be opened together, making the opening/closing operation easy.
