[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 5, a vehicle such as a passenger car is provided with a console box 60 between a normal driver seat 51 and a passenger seat 52, in which small items can be put. The console box 60 is mainly composed of a box body 61 and a lid 62 which is attached to one end side of the opening of the box body 61 and which can be opened and closed by a hinge mechanism. The console box 60 is used as an armrest at a fully closed position where the lid 62 is closed substantially horizontally with respect to the box body 61. That is, the occupant's elbow is placed on the upper surface of the fully closed lid 62.

However, in the conventional console box 60, since the height of the fully closed position is low, the sitting posture of the occupant is likely to collapse. Moreover, since the storage space of the box body 61 is small, the number of small articles that can be stored is small. For this reason, the vehicle storage box 70, which is used by mounting it on the upper surface of the lid 62 of the console box 60, is becoming popular. The vehicle storage box 70 has a holding portion 72 in which a longitudinal side surface of a storage box body 71 is appropriately extended downward to form a convex portion. That is, the lower part of the main body 71 of the storage box is U-shaped when viewed from the lateral side, and is fitted and fixed in the lateral direction of the lid 62 of the console box 60.
