In that case, extend a bracket corresponding to the brackets 24 and 25 from the back plate 12 of the box body 10 to the fixed lid 20 side, and attach the auxiliary lid 3 to this bracket.
0 is attached rotatably. In that case, when attaching the fixed lid 20 to the box body 10, the shaft portion 32 of the auxiliary lid 30 is inserted into the groove 43 of the operating member 40.

Further, although the auxiliary lid 30 in the above embodiment has a shape like a spherical shell with a portion cut out, the shape is not limited to this, and the auxiliary lid 30 may be formed into a flat plate shape, for example. In that case, the positional and dimensional relationships are such that the auxiliary lid 30 does not collide with the gas hose connection portion 94 of the gas tank 90.

Further, in the above embodiment, the groove 43 provided in the shaft portion 32 of the auxiliary lid 30 and the protruding piece 42 of the operating member 40 prevents the planar movement of the operating member 40 along the surface 22 of the fixed lid 20. Although this constitutes a transmission mechanism for converting the rotational movement of the auxiliary lid 30 into rotational movement of the auxiliary lid 30, the transmission mechanism may include other elements.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, this invention produces the excellent effects described below.

Since the auxiliary lid is disposed between the box body and the fixed lid and supported by either one of them, the auxiliary lid will not be lost.

In addition, even when the auxiliary lid is opened to use the gas tank, the auxiliary lid is housed inside the box body, so it does not protrude toward the front indoor side, so when the gas tank is in use, it can be closed when not in use. It looks good in both cases.

Further, the auxiliary lid can be easily opened and closed by sliding the operating member, so the operability is extremely good.
