[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 show an embodiment of a cargo floor box lid according to the present invention. 1 and 2
As shown in FIG. 1, the cargo floor box lid 1 of the present embodiment includes a flat front wall 2 facing at an interval and a back wall 3 formed with an edge 5 protruding in a peripheral portion toward the front wall side. And an end wall 4 for closing the peripheral edges of the two.
A hollow double-walled structure made of a thermoplastic resin having a storage recess 7 recessed toward the front wall formed on the front wall side, and an inner rib 6 not visible from the outside is provided between the front wall 2 and the back wall 3. They are installed substantially parallel to each other at an interval.

The lid member 10 having an article storage recess for opening and closing the storage recess 7 is formed by connecting a hinge member 13 provided on one side of the lid 5 to the edge 5 on one side of the back wall 3 with a screw 16 or the like. The hinge member 1 is fixed to a nearby portion.
The storage recess 7 can be opened and closed by rotating the storage container 3 around the rotation center.

The container recess 7 and the lid member 10 having the article storage recess of the present embodiment are configured to be used for storing a tool. It has a structure.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of tool storage recesses 7a are formed in the storage recess 7 at intervals from each other. Is set in a shape that can be fitted.

On the other hand, the lid member 10 has an outer wall 11 and an inner wall 12 opposed to each other at an interval, and a peripheral portion of the outer wall 11 is integrated with the inner wall 12 through a curved portion to form a hollow double wall made of thermoplastic resin. A tool storage recess 12a, which is a structure, is formed on the inner wall 12 so as to face each tool storage recess 7a formed in the storage recess 7 described above and to be able to fit approximately half of a tool. In addition, a tool storage recess 12b for storing a tool having a small thickness is formed.

The stepped portion 1 in which the inner wall 12 provided at a substantially central portion of the side edge of the lid member 10 opposite to the hinge member is exposed.
4 is provided with an elongated hole 15 for locking,
When the storage recess 7 is closed, the knob 8 which is rotatable on the shaft member 8a fixed to the back wall 3 but is integrally provided in the axial direction is inserted into the long hole 15 for locking. By inserting and rotating by about 90 degrees, the lid member 10 can be locked so as not to be opened carelessly. In addition, when the lid member 10 is opened, one end side is fixed to the back wall 3 and the other end side is a lid member 10 as a lid member opening angle maintaining means for maintaining the lid member 10 at a predetermined opening angle. A string-like body 17 (shown in FIG. 2) made of a string, a chain or the like having a predetermined length fixed to the inner wall 12 is provided.

It is needless to say that the cargo floor box lid 1 described above can be integrally formed by blow molding a thermoplastic resin such as ABS resin, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyamide.

Next, a modification of the cargo floor box lid of the present invention will be described.

The lid member having the article storage recess is not limited to the hollow double-walled thermoplastic resin structure of the above-described embodiment.
For example, it may be formed of a single-plate structure formed by injection molding, compression molding, or the like, or may be formed by press-forming a metal plate.

The means for locking the lid member in a closed state may be a known one. For example, a magnet is integrally provided on one of the lid member and the back wall and the other is provided with a magnetic member. A body may be provided by magnetic attraction, or a cloth-like fixing means having a large number of engaging projections which are strongly adhered when contacted may be provided on the lid member and the back wall.

Further, the lid member opening angle maintaining means for maintaining the lid member at a predetermined opening angle includes a back portion which comes into contact with the lid member when the lid member is opened so that the lid member does not rotate any more. A metal hinge member having a metal stay for fixing the rotation angle may be provided on the wall side or in place of the hinge member 13 shown in the above-described embodiment.

In addition, a skin material made of a fiber sheet, a nonwoven fabric, and a foam sheet can be laminated on the front wall of the cargo floor box lid. In this case, since the appearance is improved, it can be used as a parcel shelf of a two-box type automobile.

[0021]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

The hollow double-walled structure made of thermoplastic resin makes it possible to reduce the weight. In addition, the recess for the storage recessed toward the front wall side is formed on the back wall of the opposed front and back walls at an interval. Since the place is formed, the storage space as the storage compartment can be enlarged.

Further, since the lid member having the article storage recess for opening and closing the storage recess is attached via the hinge member, the storage storage recess can be opened and closed without removing the lid member. Not only does it take much time when putting things in and out, but there is no risk of loss.
