Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Modified) [Objective] The present invention relates to an opening / closing device for a lid of a vehicle storage container in which the locking of the lid of the storage container is released by pressing an operating member. The purpose is to release and open the lid only by pressing the push button, and to perform the initial operation, which normally feels heavy, to open the lid with an average force as a whole. An opening / closing device for a vehicle storage container 1 in which the locking of a storage container lid 2 biased by a spring to pivot in the opening direction around a fulcrum of a bracket is released by pressing the operating member. In the above, the sliding locking body 8 for locking the opening / closing lid is biased toward the locking side by the spring 10, and the slanting surface provided on the sliding locking body 8 resists the spring force from above. Then, the tip of the operating body of the push button 14 is brought into contact with the sliding locking body 8 by the pushing force of the operating body.
Is retracted to release the locking operation.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a lid opening / closing device for a vehicle storage container in which the locking of the cover of the storage container is released by a pressing operation of an actuating member and is rotated in the opening direction by a spring force.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a means for opening and closing the lid of a vehicle storage container such as a console box, a means for releasing the locked state of the lid by a conventional operation lever is generally used.

Further, there is also a device in which the locking operation of the storage container biased in the opening direction by the spring about the fulcrum of the bracket is converted into the rotational operation of the actuating body to release the locking operation.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above prior art, the former is inconvenient because the operation is troublesome and the lid has to be opened manually, and the latter requires an excessive force to convert the operation of the operating body into a rotational operation, and the operation is There was a problem of uncertainty.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and locks the lid of the storage container biased to rotate in the opening direction by the spring about the fulcrum of the bracket. The purpose is to release the lid by only pressing the push button, to perform the initial action that is usually heavy, and to open the lid with an average force as a whole.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a lid opening / closing device for a vehicle container according to the present invention operates a locking of a lid of a storage container which is biased by a spring to rotate in an opening direction about a fulcrum of a bracket. In a device for opening and closing a storage container for a vehicle that is released by pressing the body, a sliding locking body that locks the opening / closing lid is biased toward the locking side by a spring, and the sliding locking is performed. The tip of the operating body of the push button that pushes down against the spring force from above against the inclined surface provided on the body is brought into contact, and the pushing force of this operating body causes the sliding locking body to retract and lock. The main structure is that the operation is released, the initial contact surface of the slanted surface provided on the sliding lock body is a steep slope, and the latter contact surface is a gentle slope.

[0007]

【Example】

 Reference numeral 1 is a main body of a storage container such as a cup, 2 is a lid, and brackets 3 are integrally formed on the left and right. The bracket 3 is rotatably and pivotally attached to a shaft 4 of the main body 1 of the storage container. It is urged to open. A gear 6 is formed on the peripheral surface of the bracket 3 and meshes with the pinion 7. The pinion 7 is constantly urged in the rotating direction of arrow A by a damper device (not shown).

Reference numeral 8 denotes a sliding locking body that is slidably mounted in a holder 9 and is urged toward a locking side by a coil spring 10. The lower end of a locking projection 11 is formed below both rear ends of the lid 2. To prevent the lid 2 from rotating upward. An inclined surface 12 is formed at an intermediate portion of the sliding engagement body 8.

A push button 14 is vertically inserted into a cylindrical body 13 integrally formed above the holder 9, and an actuating body 16 is integrally fixed to a center pin 15, and a spring 17 always keeps the upward movement. The locking claw 18 at the lower end of the push button 14 is locked to the lower end of the cylindrical body 13, and the lower end of the actuating body 16 is in contact with the inclined surface 12. The inclined surface 12 is formed with an initial contact surface 12a formed of a steep slope and a late contact surface 12b formed of a gentle slope.

Next, the opening / closing operation of the lid will be described. When the push button 14 is pressed downward in the closed state of FIG. 1, the actuating body 16 first presses the initial contact surface 12 a formed by the steep slope of the sliding locking body 8 to reduce the sliding locking body 8. Moves in the anti-locking direction with the amount of movement.

Next, the late contact surface 12b composed of a gentle slope is pressed to increase the amount of movement of the sliding locking body 8 due to the sliding inertia, and the sliding locking body 8 is counteracted with an average pressing force as a whole. It moves in the locking direction to disengage the lid 2 from the locking projection 11. The lid 2 is rotated upward by the elasticity of the spring 5.

[Effect of the device]

 According to the present invention, the opening and closing of a vehicle storage container in which the locking of the storage container lid, which is urged to rotate in the opening direction by the spring about the fulcrum of the bracket, is released by pressing the operating member In the device, the sliding locking body that locks the opening / closing lid is biased toward the locking side by the spring, and resists the spring force from above against the inclined surface provided on the sliding locking body. Since the tip of the actuating body of the push button that is pushed down is brought into contact, and the sliding locking body is retracted by the pushing down force of this operating body to release the locking operation, the following effects are obtained.

1. When releasing the lock, the rotation operation is not used and only the slide in the right angle direction by the push button is performed, so that the operation can be performed lightly and reliably. 2. By dividing the inclined surface into a steep slope and a gentle slope, the initial motion, which is usually felt heavy, can be performed lightly, and the movement of the sliding locking body can be increased in the latter motion with a momentum to operate with an average force as a whole. This is for the purpose of
