Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a lid structure of an automobile, and more particularly to a double lid type lid structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an automobile lid structure,
For example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-213951, a lid is rotatably attached to a box body of a console box, and a cup holder is rotatably attached to a back side of the lid to put small articles in and out. There is known a lid structure in which the cup holder is rotated integrally with the lid in this case, while only the lid is independently rotated when the cup holder is used.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional lid structure, the operation of rotating the lid together with the cup holder or independently is performed by switching between two knobs provided on the lid. Therefore, there are problems that the number of parts is large and the manufacturing cost is high, and both knobs have to be used properly each time, and the usability is poor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and an object thereof is to rotate both the outer lid and the inner lid of the double lid type by switching operation of one knob, or the outer lid. It is to reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the usability by selecting whether to rotate only.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the solution means of the present invention is a structure of a lid composed of an outer lid and an inner lid rotatably provided on a fixed side of an automobile. Then, a first lock member having an engaging claw that engages with the fixed side on the inner lid is rotatably provided. Further, a second lock member having an engaging claw that engages with the inner lid is rotatably provided on the outer lid. Further, a rotation operation knob for rotating the first and second lock members is rotatably provided on the outer lid, and one of the first and second lock members is rotated by a forward and reverse rotation operation of the rotation operation knob. It is configured so that the engaging claw is disengaged by rotating.

[0006]

With the above structure, according to the present invention, one of the first and second locking members is rotated by the forward and reverse rotation operations of the rotation operation knob provided rotatably on the outer lid. The jaws come off. That is, when the first lock member rotates and the engaging claw is disengaged from the fixed side, the second lock member does not rotate and the engaging claw is engaged with the inner lid. The outer lid and the inner lid rotate integrally. On the other hand, when the second lock member rotates and the engaging claw disengages from the inner lid, the first lock member does not rotate and the engaging claw is engaged with the fixed side. Only the outer lid rotates.

For this reason, the outer lid and the inner lid are selectively rotated by the switching operation of one rotating operation knob, and the number of parts is reduced accordingly, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and two knobs are selected. The usability is improved as compared with the case of rotating by turning.
