Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a console box structure for a vehicle, which is installed, for example, between the front seats of an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, the core material 4' of the console box 3' is made of an integrally molded resin material to a size that is set in the space between the front seats 1 of the vehicle. The surface of this core material 4' is covered with a foam material 9, and the surface of the core material 9 is covered with a skin 11 such as vinyl leather. With the increasing demand for console boxes 3', it is becoming increasingly necessary to increase the size of the console box 3'.

Further, there is an example of a console box shown in FIG. 6 which provides an insulating type console box that can ensure that the items stored in the console box are kept warm and cool for a long period of time.

This is a "thermal insulation type console box" disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-32549, and is a box-shaped vehicle console box formed to have a storage space inside. Insulating chambers 12 and 13 in which polyurethane foam 9 is injected between the inner wall 3a and outer wall 3b of
It has been established.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, the ones shown in Figs. 5 and 6 are both types in which the console boxes 3' and 3'' are housed in a fixed space created between the front seats 1 and 1 (see Fig. 5) of the vehicle. Therefore, as seats tend to become larger in size, it has become difficult to increase the size of the console boxes 3' and 3''.

Therefore, in order to solve these problems, this invention has been developed to
The objective is to increase the size of the console box that can be fitted and installed in this space.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, a console box structure for a vehicle according to the present invention is a console box provided between two seats arranged in the width direction of a vehicle, and a side wall of the console box facing each of the seats. A shoulder portion is formed that projects upwardly from the seat surface of each of the seats, and an outer end portion of the shoulder portion in the vehicle width direction covers the seat surface.

[Effect]

According to the above-mentioned means, the shoulder portion formed on the side wall of the console box projects upwardly above the seating surface of each of the two seats, and the outer end of the shoulder portion in the vehicle width direction extends above the seating surface of each of the two seats. Since the console box is placed over the top of the console box, the console box is widened in the vehicle width direction by the shoulder portion. Therefore, the console box can be made larger by this expanded space.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The drawings from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 show one embodiment of this invention, and the front seats 1 and 1 shown in FIG.
are provided divided by the raised part (tunnel) of the floor panel 2, and therefore,
A console box 3 is set in the space created between the front seats 1 and 1. FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the core material 4 of the console box 3. This core material 4 is made of resin material. Note that FIG. 4 shows the core material 4 in a state before the urethane foam material is foamed onto the surface.

The core material 4 shown in FIG. 4 consists of two divided core materials 4a and 4b, and these parts project upward from the cushion parts 1a and 1a of the seats 1 and 1 shown in FIG. The divided core members 4a, 4b are formed with shoulder portions 40, 40 that extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle and overlap the cushion portions 1a, 1a of the seats 1, 1.

These split core materials 4a and 4b are shown in FIG.
Screws 7,
7 shows the assembled state.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which a retainer-like member 8 integrally molded on the split core material 4a and a mounting seat 6a integrally molded on the split core material 4b are assembled with screws 7.

In this way, the split core materials 4a and 4b are assembled as shown in the drawings from FIG. 2 to FIG. Then, the console box 3 is formed by covering it with a foam material 9 such as urethane.

Note that the reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1 is a carpet.

In this embodiment, as described above, each split core material 4a, 4b of the console box 3 is spread in the left-right direction of the vehicle and formed so as to overlap the seat cushion portions 1a, 1a, and then these split core materials are 4a,
4b, it is possible to adopt an undercut shape that could not be conventionally molded due to the injection molding mold structure of the core material 4, and it is possible to enlarge the console box 3 that is installed in the space between the seats of a vehicle. be done.

[Effect of idea]

According to this invention, it is possible to increase the size of the console box provided between the seats of the vehicle, regardless of the space between the seats.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawings from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 show one embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line -- in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the core material, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are sectional views showing respective conventional examples. 1...
