Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to an opening/closing device for a glove box of an automobile.

[Background of the invention] A conventional glove box for an automobile of this type has a cover plate that can be opened and closed, as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In this glove box, a lid plate 3 covering a front opening 2 of a glove box body 1 is rotatably connected to an edge 4 of the front opening via a hinge 5, and a stopper arm 6 further connects the lid plate 3 to an edge 4 of the front opening 2 via a hinge 5. is rotated to a substantially horizontal open position. Numerals 8 and 9 are locking devices, 7 is a through hole provided in the edge 3, and grommets 3a and 3b are the outer and inner covers of the cover plate 3.

By the way, in order to fix the stopper arm 6 to the cover plate 3, sandwich the attachment part 6a of the arm 6 between the outer cover 3a of the cover plate 3 and the inner cover 3b made of resin, and then tighten both covers with the screws 20. 3a, 3b and mounting part 6a
It was firmly fixed by tightening the three parts together. During this co-tightening work, if the mounting portion 6a is misaligned or tilted with respect to the inner lid 3b, it will be difficult to perform the co-tightening work, so it is necessary to temporarily fix both of them. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a through hole 6d is provided in the mounting portion 6a, and this through hole 6d is press-fitted into a protrusion 3c provided on the inner cover 3b to temporarily fix the arm 6 to the inner cover 3b. Was.

However, in such a conventional device, when the mold-cutting direction of the inner cover 3b is in the direction A perpendicular to the inner cover 3b, as shown in FIG.
Since c can be formed, sufficient press-fitting can be performed and temporary fixing can be performed, but when the mold removal direction is in direction B, which has an inclination of 45 degrees with respect to direction A shown in Figure 7,
The projection 3c' has a conical shape, making it impossible to press the mounting portion 6a onto the inner lid 3b.

For this reason, it is difficult to temporarily fix the stopper arm 6 to the inner lid 3b, and the stopper arm 6 may be tilted or misaligned with respect to the inner lid 3b, and the mounting portion of the stopper arm 6 may 6a
There was a problem in that it took time and effort to clamp the inner cover 3b and outer cover 3a together and tighten them together.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made by focusing on such a problem, and even when the temporary fixing protrusion of the stopper arm is formed in a conical shape, the stopper arm cannot be fixed easily. An object of the present invention is to provide an opening/closing device for a glove box of an automobile, which is configured to ensure temporary fixation between a mounting portion of a glove box and an inner lid.

[Example] The present invention will be described in detail below based on the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Most of the structure of the embodiment of this invention is the same as the structure explained in the conventional example shown in Figure 3 and below, so the reference numerals used in the conventional example will be used for those parts, and the explanation of those parts will be omitted. .

In this invention, a conical projection 3c' provided on the inner lid 3b is fitted into a through hole 6d of a mounting portion 6a provided at the base end of the stopper arm 6,
This engages the protrusion 3c' with the through hole 6d.

On the other hand, the inner lid 3b through which the stopper arm 6 penetrates
A protrusion 3k that protrudes into the through hole 3d is provided in the through hole 3d provided in the through hole 3d. The tip of this protrusion 3k is adapted to engage with a stopper arm 6 passing through the through hole 3d. Such a protrusion 3
By the engagement of c' with the through hole 6d and the engagement of the tip of the protrusion 3k with the stopper arm 6, the attachment part 6a provided at the base end of the stopper arm 6 is made almost parallel to the inner lid 3b. It can be held and temporarily fixed.

As a result, alignment of the attachment part 6a with respect to the inner cover 3b is ensured, so that by simply aligning the outer cover 3a with respect to the inner cover 3b, the attachment part of the stopper arm, the inner cover, and the outer cover can be aligned. The three parties can be jointly tightened. Therefore, even if the protrusion 3c' has a conical shape, it is difficult to align the mounting portion 6a of the stopper arm 6 and the inner cover 3b, align the inner cover 3b and the outer cover 3a, and adjust the position of the stopper arm 6. The work of aligning the attachment part 6a and the outer cover 3a can be omitted, and the work of tightening the attachment part 6a of the stopper arm 6, the inner cover 3b, and the outer cover 3a together can be easily performed. It is possible.

This invention is as described above, and a cover plate is installed in the glove box body so that the opening thereof can be opened and closed, and the outer cover is connected to the inner cover so that the cover plate can be opened and closed.
A stopper arm whose distal end engages with the glove box main body to restrict the opening limit position of the lid plate, and whose base end mounting portion is sandwiched between the inner lid and the outer lid, In the opening/closing device for a glove box, the inner lid is provided with a protrusion, the mounting portion is provided with a through hole, and the protrusion is fitted into the through hole. , a protrusion that engages with the stopper arm is provided on the inner cover, and the stopper arm is temporarily fixed to the inner cover by the engagement of this protrusion and the protrusion, so that the stopper arm cannot be attached. When tightening the part, inner cover, and outer cover together, the attachment part of the stopper arm is temporarily fixed to the inner cover.

Therefore, as long as the outer cover is aligned with the inner cover, the stopper arm mounting portion, the inner cover, and the outer cover can be aligned. Even if the stopper arm mounting part and the inner cover are aligned, the work of aligning the stopper arm mounting part and the inner cover, the inner cover and outer cover, and the stopper arm mounting part and the outer cover can be omitted. This has the excellent effect of making it easy to tighten the stopper arm attachment part, the inner cover, and the outer cover together.
