Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the structure of a center console box of an automobile.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, a center console box 1 of an automobile has a hand brake operating lever 2
A handbrake mounting opening 3 (hereinafter simply referred to as a mounting opening) for loosely inserting is formed. As shown in the figure, since the operating lever 2 is erected obliquely, the mounting opening 3 has a long shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle so that the operating lever 2 can be loosely inserted from above. Has become. For this reason, in order to improve the feeling of quality, the hand brake rubber 5 having the operation lever 2 loosely inserted hole 4 formed therein is attached to the rear part of the assembling opening 3, and the front part of the assembling opening 3 is attached. The handbrake mask 6 is used to close it. Further, today, as shown in FIG. 6, holes 7 and 7 are formed in the handbrake rubber 5, while the handbrake mask 6 is provided with pawls 8 and 8 that engage with the holes 7 and 7, and both members are provided. Has been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 59-134495).

However, in such a structure, the claws 8, 8 of the handbrake mask 6 made of a hard material are replaced by the holes 7, 8 of the handbrake rubber 5 made of a soft material.
7 has a drawback that the hand brake rubber 5 is elastically deformed inward of the center console box 1 when it is inserted into the center console box 1 and the insertion work becomes difficult, and the operation lever 2 is loosely inserted as the operation lever 2 is operated and moved. When the hole 4 is widened, the handbrake rubber 5 may be bent and deformed inward of the center console box 1, which may cause a decrease in quality.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and improves workability in assembling the handbrake rubber 5 and the handbrake mask 6, and also reduces the sense of quality due to bending deformation of the handbrake rubber 5. The present invention provides a center console box structure for an automobile that solves the above problem.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a flange is formed at a peripheral portion of a handbrake assembling opening formed in a center console box of an automobile. While the locking hole is formed in the flange, the locking member is attached to the end of the handbrake rubber that is attached to the rear part of the handbrake assembly opening and has the handbrake operation lever loose insertion opening. A protrusion that engages with the hole is formed, and a portion near the protrusion of the handbrake rubber is sandwiched between the flange and the rear end of the handbrake mask that closes the front portion of the handbrake assembly opening. I am doing it.

Action In the above-mentioned configuration, the flange in which the locking hole is formed is provided in the assembly opening of the center console box and is formed of a hard material, so that the projecting piece is inserted and engaged. At this time, the flange is not elastically deformed, and the assembly can be easily performed. Further, since the end portion of the handbrake rubber and the proximate portion of the projecting piece are lined with a flange and sandwiched by the flange and the handbrake mask, when the operation lever of the handbrake is operated and moved. The flexural deformation of the handbrake rubber toward the inside of the center console box is prevented.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the console box, which has the same shape as the conventional one shown in FIG. 7, and has an assembling opening 3 formed in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body as in FIG. The assembling opening 3 comprises a rear side slanted opening 3a, a vertical opening 3b, and a front side horizontal opening 3c, and the openings 3a, 3b, 3c are respectively provided with bent portions 9a, 9b. It is the same as the conventional one. As shown in the exploded view of the main part configuration of FIG. 2, a bent portion 9b between the vertical opening 3b and the horizontal opening 3c.
A vertical flange 10 and a horizontal flange 11 as "flange" are continuously formed in the horizontal flange 1.
A locking hole 12 is formed at 1. On the other hand, the rear portion of the assembling opening 3, that is, the oblique opening 3a and the vertical opening 3
A handbrake rubber 5 is attached to b, and an operation lever loose insertion hole 4 is formed in the handbrake rubber 5. Protrusions 13 and 13 that engage with the locking holes 12 are provided at the ends of the handbrake rubber 5, and a protrusion flat portion 17 is provided above the protrusion 13 and is flat in the vertical direction. A portion is formed, and a step portion 14 is horizontally formed above the portion. Further, the front part of the assembling opening 3, that is, the handbrake mask 6 that closes the horizontal opening 3c is provided with a standing piece 15 standing upright along the vertical flange 10. A projecting edge 16 that engages with the stepped portion 14 is formed on the end edge of 15.

In the present embodiment having the above-described structure, when engaging the projecting piece 13 with the locking hole 12, the projecting piece 13 is moved upward as shown in FIG. 3 showing a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG. After inserting into the locking hole 12, the lower end of the protruding piece 12 is pulled down from below. At this time, since the horizontal flange 11 is formed of the same hard material as the hard center console box 1, the horizontal flange 11 is not elastically deformed during the work, and the projecting piece 13 can be easily locked. . Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the handbrake mask 6 is mounted, the protruding piece proximity portion 17 between the protruding piece 13 and the step portion 14 of the handbrake rubber 5 is lined by the vertical flange 10 and the vertical flange 10 And the handbrake mask 6 upright, and the handbrake rubber 5
The stepped portion 14 is sandwiched by the projecting edge 16 of the handbrake mask 6 and the end edge of the vertical flange 10. That is, it is sandwiched by the vertical flange 10 and the upright piece 15 and the projecting edge 16 as the rear end of the handbrake mask 6.
Therefore, when the operating lever 2 of the handbrake is operated, even if the operating lever loose insertion hole 4 is elastically deformed, the flexural deformation of the handbrake rubber 5 inwardly of the center console box 1 is prevented, and the flexural deformation is prevented. It is possible to eliminate the deterioration of the quality feeling due to.

In the above embodiment, the protrusion 13 is inserted into the locking hole 12 of the horizontal flange 11, but the protrusion 13 may be inserted into the locking hole provided in the vertical flange 10. The flange may not be composed of a horizontal flange and a vertical flange, but may be an arc-shaped flange that is a combination of both. However, in this case, the standing piece 15 also needs to be arcuate. The point is to form a flange on the periphery of the handbrake assembly opening.

As described above, according to the present invention, a flange is formed in the peripheral portion of the handbrake assembly opening formed in the center console box, and a locking hole is formed in the flange, while a handbrake rubber is formed. A projecting piece that engages with the locking hole is formed at the end of the. Therefore, since the flange in which the locking hole is formed is made of a hard material that is the same material as the center console box, the flange does not elastically deform when the projecting piece is inserted, Assembly can be done easily. Further, since the protrusion proximate portion of the end portion of the handbrake rubber is lined with the flange and sandwiched by the flange and the handbrake mask, when the operation lever of the handbrake is operated, the bending deformation of the handbrake rubber is caused. Can be prevented, and a sense of quality can be improved.
