[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a console box installed in an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional structure of a console box installed in the interior of an automobile, there is, for example, a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, in the console box of this conventional structure, the console box body 1 and the lid body 2 which is rotatably attached to the upper opening of the console box body 1 via the hinge 3. An air damper 4 is provided between the lid body 2 and the console box body 1 to regulate the opening degree of the lid body 2 and to eliminate the closing impact when the lid body 2 is closed. ing. The air damper 4 has a cylinder member 41 and a piston member 42. The cylinder member 41 is axially supported by the console box body 1 via a support shaft 43, and the lid 2 has a tip end of the piston member 42. Are connected via a connecting member 44.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the console box having such a structure, a space 5 for accommodating a small item on the back side of the lid 2 is formed, and a small item such as a cassette tape can be accommodated in the space 5. However, if a small item is accommodated and held in the space 5 in such a structure of the lid body 2, the lid body 2 that has been opened is immediately closed due to the added weight of the small item. There was an inconvenience that the lid was closed before the contents were taken out from the box body 1.

In order to eliminate this inconvenience, for example, it is conceivable to provide a stopper for opening and holding the lid, which is a member separate from the air damper 4, but in this case, a stopper member must be newly added and the number of parts is increased. However, there was a problem that the assembly workability also decreased as well as the increase in the number.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems. In an air damper having a cylinder and a piston shaft, the present invention relates to the piston shaft, and when the piston shaft is completely pulled out from the cylinder, the cylinder edge is engaged. When the lid of the console box to which the air damper is attached is completely opened, the elastic locking piece is provided so that the closing of the lid can be temporarily prevented. It is to provide the box.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 2, 11 is a console box main body having a container portion 12, and a lid support arm 14 having a support shaft 13 is fixed to the console box 11. A lid 15 for opening and closing the opening of the container portion 12 of the console box body is pivotally supported on the support shaft 13 so as to be opened and closed. Reference numeral 16 is an air damper that eliminates the closing impact when the lid is closed. The structure of the air damper 16 is tightly fitted to the air cylinder 17 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The piston 18 has a piston 18, a piston shaft 19 integral with the piston 18, and a cap 20 attached to the opening of the air cylinder 17. Further, one end of a leaf spring 21 formed in a substantially V shape is fixed to the end portion of the piston shaft 19 on the piston 18 side. Reference numeral 22 is a mounting hole formed in the cylinder 17, and 23 is a mounting hole formed at the tip of the piston shaft 19.

The mounting hole 22 is used to pivotally support the cylinder 17 on the console box body 11, and the mounting hole 23 is used to pivotally support the tip of the piston shaft 19 on the lid 15 (see FIG. 2). .

The structure of this embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. Since the air damper 16 is connected between the console box body 11 and the lid body 15, the lid body 15 is opened. After that, when attempting to close the lid body 15 by its own weight, the lid body 15 is not abruptly closed due to the air damper action, but is relaxed and closed, so that when the lid body 15 is closed. The impact force in can be prevented. In the present embodiment, the plate spring 21 is attached to the piston shaft 19, and when the lid 15 is completely opened, the free end of the plate spring 21 is pulled out to the outside of the cylinder 17 and is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, it is locked to the hole edge of the cap 20, and serves as a stopper that prevents the piston shaft 19 from being pushed in. Therefore, the natural obstruction of the lid 15 is suppressed, and this prevents the object from entering the console box container. You can freely put in and take out.

Next, when it is desired to close the lid 15, the leaf spring 21 protruding from the side surface of the piston shaft 19 is pressed and flattened against its elasticity, and the leaf spring 21 and the cap 20 are closed. The locking force with the rim is released, and as a result, the piston shaft 19 can be pushed into the cylinder 17 and the lid can be closed.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention provides an air damper having a cylinder 17 and a piston shaft 19 provided on a piston 18 slidably fitted in the cylinder 17, and the piston shaft 19 is provided with the piston shaft 19. When the shaft 19 is completely pulled out from the cylinder 17, an elastic locking piece 21 is provided to be locked to the rim of the cylinder. Further, the cylinder 17 is provided in the console box body and the piston shaft is provided in the console box lid 15. When the lid 15 is completely opened by pivoting the lids 15 to each other, the elastic locking piece 21 is locked to the rim of the cylinder 17 to prevent the lid 15 from being closed. According to this, since the stopper piece that suppresses the closure of the lid body, that is, the elastic locking piece 21 is incorporated in the air damper, the air damper serves as a buffer. Has a stopper function with use, thus so is not necessary to the damper and a stopper respectively provided as separate members in the prior art, parts management, mounting workability of the components, the effect is obtained that is advantageous in terms of equal.
