[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a floor console box suitable for use in a vehicle, particularly a cab-over type truck.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The cab of many cab-over type large trucks has a floor console box for storing various items in the middle between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. A lid member is attached to the rear side edge of the corresponding console box peripheral wall and has a substantially rectangular planar shape.

On the other hand, in a relatively large truck, a bed for nap and rest extending in the width direction of the vehicle is provided behind the driver's seat and the passenger seat. When trying to remove the items stored in the console box, it is actually extremely difficult to rotate and open the lid member from above the bed. It is troublesome to open the lid member and take out the items in the console box. Therefore, it is desirable to improve the convenience of use of the console box by allowing the occupant on the bed to take out or store the article in the console box without leaving the bed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a relatively small article is provided by opening a part of the lid member in the closed position without rotating and opening the entire lid member of the console box. It is intended to greatly improve the convenience of use of the console box by constructing it so that it can be taken out and stored.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a lid member pivotally attached to one corresponding side edge of a console box peripheral wall is provided with a sliding door type opening / closing lid. It proposes a floor console box.

[0006]

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in the schematic perspective view of FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is a driver's seat provided in the cab of a cab-over truck, 12 is a passenger seat, and 14 is a floor provided between the driver's seat 10 and the passenger seat 12. It is a console box.

The floor console box 14 includes a space 16 for storing articles, a part of which is shown in the sectional view of FIG. Further, a lid member 22 having a substantially rectangular plan shape is pivotally attached to a rear end edge of the box peripheral wall 18 that limits the article storage space 16 via an appropriate hinge 20.

The lid member 22 is provided with upper and lower two-stage sliding grooves 26 and 28 on the front and rear frame portions 24, respectively, and inside the sliding grooves 26 and 28, a sliding door type upper stage opening / closing lid 30 and Lower opening / closing lids 32 are supported so as to be freely slidable in the vehicle width direction.

The upper and lower opening / closing lids 30 and 32 are made of a transparent or translucent resin material so that the articles stored in the article storage space 16 of the console box 14 can be visually observed. It is preferable that the articles be mounted on the opening / closing lids 30 and 32, and it is preferable that the opening / closing lids 30 and 32 are made of a reinforced plastic material mixed with reinforced glass or reinforcing fibers. Further, each opening / closing lid 30 and 32 is provided with a recess or protrusion 34 and 36 for opening / closing operation, as best shown in FIG.

According to the above configuration, when taking out a relatively large article stored in the floor console box 14 or storing a large article in the console box, the entire lid member 22 is shown in FIG. Rotate about the axis of the hinge 20 to open the console box as shown by the dashed line and close it as shown by the solid line in the figure.

On the other hand, when taking out or storing a small article from the console box 14, it is not necessary to rotate the entire large lid member 22, and the lid member 22 is kept in the closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. The console box 14 can be partially opened and closed by sliding the upper and lower opening / closing lids 30 and 32. Therefore, an occupant using a bed (not shown) arranged behind the driver's seat 10 and the passenger seat 12 can open and close the opening / closing lid 30 or 32 without bothering to leave the bed. Items in the console box 14 can be taken out or stored in the console box, and the convenience of using the console box can be greatly improved.

Furthermore, by making the opening / closing lid 30 or (and) 32 of a transparent or translucent material, it is possible to confirm the articles stored in the console box 14 without opening the lid member 22. There are additional benefits you can do.

In the above embodiment, the upper and lower opening / closing lids 30 and 32 are arranged so as to slide in the vehicle width direction, but it is needless to say that they can be changed so as to slide in the vehicle front-rear direction. Is. Further, although the opening / closing lids 30 and 32 are provided over substantially the entire surface of the lid member 22 in the above-mentioned embodiment, one sliding door type opening / closing lid occupying substantially half the area of the lid member 22 may be provided.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the floor console box of the vehicle according to the present invention is provided with a sliding door type opening / closing lid on the lid member pivotally attached at one side edge to the corresponding one side edge of the console box peripheral wall. And has the practical effect that the convenience of use of the floor console box can be greatly improved compared to the conventional one.
