Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a mechanism for preventing rattling noise in a locking device for a glove box of an automobile or the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a glove box locking device of the type in which a slider is moved downward via a swinging piece that engages with the operating piece when the operating piece is pushed, the slider is disengaged from the striker on the box side. , a substantially central portion of the swinging piece is pivotally supported on the back of the main body case, one end of which is placed in a non-energized state on the top of a slider pin provided on the back of the slider, and the other end of the swinging piece is attached to the operating piece. configured to engage with.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the glove box locking device having the structure described above, when closing the opening/closing lid of the glove box, if the opening/closing lid in the open state is pressed against the box side, the lid will close. The slider on the body side and the striker on the box side collide, and when the slider is pushed downward by the striker and the striker is held by the lid side hook, the slider moves upward again to close the lid. When pushed downward by the striker, one end of the swinging piece becomes free and comes into contact with the main body case, etc., causing a rattling sound.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the present invention has a structure in which the end of the coil spring that biases the operating piece in the opposite direction to the pushing direction of the operating piece is The oscillating piece is engaged with the lower surface of the oscillating piece to urge the oscillating piece in the direction in which the slider projects.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a rear view of a glove box locking device according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken from Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken from Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a front view of Fig. 1. It is a diagram.

In the figure, the glove box locking device indicated by A is attached to the opening/closing lid of the glove box of the vehicle.
A main body case 1 provided on the front side of the opening/closing lid and a slider case 7 provided on the back side and housing a slider 9 are integrally formed.

A box-shaped operating piece 2 is housed inside the main body case 1 so as to be slidable in the horizontal axis direction. The operation piece 2
is one end 3a of a coiled spring 3 wound around a protrusion 1b (FIG. 2) provided on the back plate 1a of the main body case 1.
is engaged with the rear surface of the operating piece 2, and the other end 3b is engaged with the lower surface of the swinging piece 5, thereby being biased in a direction opposite to the pushing direction of the operating piece 2. Moreover, the swinging piece 5 is always urged in the direction in which the slider 9 projects (upward in FIG. 1) by the coiled spring 3. A cylindrical cylinder lock case 4 is provided on the back plate 1a of the main body case 1, and an eccentric pin 4b is provided on the back side of a cylinder lock rotor 4a rotatably housed in the cylinder lock case 4.
is implanted, and the approximately central portion of the approximately L-shaped swinging piece 5 is connected to this eccentric pin 4b via a push nut 6.
It is pivoted on. One end 5a of the swing piece 5 is connected to a slider pin 9a implanted in the front surface of a slider 9 that is vertically movably housed in a slider case 7 provided on the side of the back plate 1a via a coil spring 8. The other end 5b is in contact with a protruding piece 10 planted on the back surface of the operating piece 2 at the unlocked position of the cylinder lock rotor 4a, and as a result, the operating piece 2
The slider 9 can be moved downward against the coiled spring 8 by pushing the button. In addition, when the cylinder lock rotor 4a is in the locked state, the rotation of the cylinder lock rotor 4a moves the eccentric pin 4b from the position shown by the solid line to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The other end 5b separates from the operating locus of the protruding piece 10 due to the pushing operation of the operating piece 2, and the operating piece 2
Even if you press the button, you will miss the shot.

Incidentally, a long hole 11 is bored in the back plate 1a of the main body case 1 to allow the protruding piece 10 to slide in the horizontal axis direction when the operating piece 2 is pushed. A vertically elongated hole 12 for sliding the slider pin 9a in the longitudinal direction is bored. Further, in the figure, 13 is a hook portion for holding the striker 15, and 14 is a stopper made of an elastic body for preventing the striker 15 from rattling.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When closing the opening/closing lid of the glove box,
When the opening/closing lid in the open state is pressed against the box side, the slider 9 on the lid side and the striker 15 on the box side collide, and when the slider 9 is pushed downward by the striker 15 and the striker 15 is held by the lid side hook part 13. The slider 9 moves upward again and the closing of the opening/closing lid is completed. At this time, even when the slider 9 is pushed downward by the striker 15, the other end 3b of the coiled spring 3 engages with the lower surface of the swinging piece 5 and urges the one end 5a of the swinging piece 5 upward. Therefore, the swinging piece 5 does not rattle, and the generation of rattling noise can be prevented.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the present invention locks one end of the coil spring that biases the operating piece in the opposite direction to the pushing direction of the operating piece to the lower surface of the swinging piece, so that one end of the swinging piece is always Since it is biased upward, even when the engagement between the swinging piece and the slider pin is released, the swinging piece will not be in a free state, and the swinging piece will come into contact with the main body case, etc., and cause rattling. It has the excellent effect of preventing the generation of noise.
