Means for Solving the Problem In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the lid of the glove box is rotatably attached to the instrument panel body, and the claw portion provided on the lid side is attached to the instrument. The glove box is hung in the hole provided on the panel body side and closed with the lid, and the claw portion is pushed downward to release the engagement between the claw portion and the hole of the instrument panel body. In a lid opening / closing structure for a glove box that is configured to open the lid, a rib protruding inward is provided at an upper end portion of the lid, and a notch is provided in a ceiling portion of the lid so as to project downward. An elastic member is provided, which is provided with a knob including a pressing piece, a fitting portion having a hole, a collar portion provided on the lower edge periphery, and a rib formed on the collar portion. A claw formed of a material and connected to an upper end portion which is inserted and fixed in the hole of the fitting portion of the knob and is bent and connected in a substantially U shape from the upper end portion so as to slightly project upward from the tip end. And an engaging part formed by folding the claw part in the center of the claw part are integrally formed, and the engaging part of the retaining member is fitted to the rib of the lid against its elasticity. Then, the knob is exposed to the upper outside through the notch of the lid, the rib of the knob is brought into line contact with the lower surface of the ceiling portion of the lid, and the knob is pushed downward to hold the holding member. Is bent downward against its elasticity so that the claw portion is pushed downward.

d. Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the glove box lid opening / closing structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention.

In the glove box lid opening / closing structure of this embodiment, a rib 3 protruding inward is provided at the upper end 2a of the lid 2 of the glove box 1, and a hole 5 is provided in the instrument panel body 4 corresponding to the rib 3. ing. Further, a cutout 6 is provided in the ceiling portion 2b of the lid 2. Further, the knob 7 having the pressing piece 7a projecting downward is provided, and the upper end 8a formed of an elastic material such as spring steel and on which the knob 7 is installed
And an engaging portion 8c which is connected to the upper end portion by being bent into a substantially U-shape, has a claw portion 8b at the tip so as to slightly project upward, and is formed by folding in half around the claw portion. A holding member 8 composed of and is integrally formed, and an engaging portion of the holding member
8c is fitted to the rib 3 of the lid 2 against its elasticity, and the knob 7 is fixed to the upper end portion 8a of the holding member, and the upper portion 8a is opened through the opening formed by the notch 6 of the lid 2 And the pressing piece 7a of the knob 7 is positioned on the engaging portion 8c of the holding member 8.

Here, the lid 2 has a storage box 9 integrated with the lid inside the lower end portion 2c thereof, and an instrument is installed through pins 10 at substantially central portions of the walls 9a, 9a on both sides of the storage box 9. It is rotatably supported by the ment panel body 4.

The knob 7 has a concave portion 7c for hanging a finger in front of the raised central portion 7b, and a pressing piece 7a hangs slightly below and forward of the concave portion.

The knob 7 has a fitting portion 7e having a hole 7d communicating with the front-rear direction at the rear lower end of the central portion 7b, and a supporting piece 7f projecting downward at approximately the center of the central portion 7b.

Further, the knob 7 has a collar 7g on the lower end peripheral edge except the front of the central portion 7b, has knobs 7h, 7h on the left and right sides of the collar, and has a rib 7i above the fitting portion 7e. There is.

In the state where the knob 7 is attached, the elastic force of the holding member 8 constantly urges the upward, so that the ribs 7h, 7h, 7i of the knob 7 have their ribs 7h, 7h, 7i.
It comes into line contact with the lower surface of the and the central portion 7b has a notch 6
Is exposed to the outside via.

The holding member 8 has a standing piece 8d standing above it in front of the upper end portion 8a, and a cut-and-raised piece 8f formed by cutting and raising on the lower plate 8e of the engaging portion 8c.

The cut-and-raised piece 8f is attached to the lower surface of the rib 3 when the rib 3 is fitted between the upper plate 8g and the lower plate 8e forming the engaging portion 8c and the holding member 8 is attached to the lid 2. To prevent the holding member 8 from coming off from the rib 3.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the closed state of the lid 2 is maintained by engaging the claw portion 8b of the holding member 8 with the upper end edge portion 5a of the hole 5 of the instrument panel body 4.

When the knob 7 is pushed downward, the rib 7d of the knob bends the engaging portion 8c of the holding member 8 downward against its elasticity and moves the claw portion 8b downward. The claw portion 8b of the holding member 8 is disengaged from the hole 5 of the instrument panel body 4, and the lid 2 is opened, and the glove box 1 is opened by pulling the lid 2 toward you.

e. Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the lid opening / closing structure of the glove box according to the present invention, a rib protruding inward is provided at the upper end of the lid, and a notch is formed in the ceiling of the lid. A knob provided with a pressing piece protruding downward, a fitting portion having a hole, a flange portion provided on the lower edge periphery, and a rib formed on the flange portion, and formed of an elastic material. An upper end portion that is inserted and fixed in the hole of the fitting portion of the knob is connected to the upper end portion by bending it into a substantially U shape.
A holding member is integrally formed of a claw portion that is formed so as to slightly project upward at the tip and an engaging portion that is formed by folding the claw portion in the center, and the engaging portion of the holding member is formed. Fitting on the rib of the lid against its elasticity, the knob is exposed to the upper outside through the notch of the lid, and the rib of the knob is brought into line contact with the lower surface of the ceiling of the lid. Since the holding member is bent downward against its elasticity by pushing down the knob, and the claw portion is pushed down by this, the following effects are obtained. be able to.

That is, in the present invention, by assembling the upper end portion of the holding member into the hole of the fitting portion of the knob, the knob and the holding member can be easily assembled. Also,
By fitting the rib of the lid into the engaging portion of the holding member, the holding member and the lid can be easily assembled. Therefore, the structure for assembling the lid, the knob, and the holding member is simple, and the structure is simple, and the assembly can be easily performed.

Further, since the knob and the holding member are integrally formed, the number of parts is reduced, and parts management in the assembly process is facilitated.

Further, in the present invention, since the knob is exposed to the upper outside through the notch of the lid, when the lid is opened, the knob can be easily moved downward with a finger on the upper end of the lid. It can be pushed, and the operability of the above knob is good.

Furthermore, since the rib of the knob is in line contact with the lower surface of the ceiling portion of the lid, it is possible to obtain industrially advantageous effects such as the vertical movement of the knob being easily performed.
