And a sealing part 2c having a groove 2d is provided at the forward end of the cover body 2 on the side end of the cover member 3, and a protrusion 3a, which can enter the groove 2d of the sealing part 2c, leaving a gap in the groove 2d, is provided on the cover member 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a vehicle storage device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A plurality of storage devices are mounted in a vehicle. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-145844 discloses a storage device main body having a storage body 11 having a storage portion 11a and a lid 12 attached to a console box, A storage device having a cover member 13 disposed at the front is disclosed. Lid 1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a housing 11 which is rotated about a rotation shaft 11b.
Is opened and closed. When the storage portion 11a is opened, the lid 12 is located on the cover member 13 side.

[0003]

However, in the conventional storage device, there is a gap S 'between the lid 12 and the cover member 13 of the storage device body, so that small objects such as cards and coins are placed in the gap S'. There is a problem that it is easy to enter, and it is difficult to take out small items if they enter the gap S ′. An object of the present invention is to prevent small items from entering between the storage device main body and the cover member,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular storage device that can easily take out small items even if the small items enter between the storage device body and the cover member.

[0004]

The present invention to achieve the above object is as follows. A storage device main body including a storage body having a storage part, a lid rotatably supported by the storage body so as to open and close the storage part, and a lid when the storage part of the storage body is in an open state. A cover member disposed adjacent to the storage device main body on the side where the body is located, and a seal portion having a groove at a tip end portion is provided at a cover member side end of the lid, and the cover member A storage device for a vehicle, wherein a convex portion is provided in the groove of the seal portion with a gap.

[0005] In the vehicle storage device of the present invention, since the seal portion having the groove is provided at the tip of the cover member side end of the cover, the cover is closed when the cover is closed. The seal portion extends from the lid toward the cover member, and the space between the lid and the cover member of the storage device main body becomes smaller than when there is no seal portion, and small items enter between the storage device main body and the cover member. It becomes difficult. When the lid is turned, the seal portion is directed downward, so that small articles can easily enter from between the lid body and the cover member of the storage device main body. When the lid rotates, the lid is simultaneously lifted upward while being held on the seal portion of the lid, so that it is easy to remove the lid.
In addition, during the rotation of the lid, the gap between the seal portion and the cover member is uneven at the portion where the protrusion provided on the cover member enters the groove provided in the seal portion. Classes are hard to enter below the sealing portion of the lid through the uneven gap, and are held on the sealing portion or the convex portion of the cover member.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The construction of a vehicle storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 show a storage device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. The storage device for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention is disposed, for example, in a console box of an automobile. The storage device for a vehicle has a storage body 1 having a storage part 1a opened upward for storing small articles, and a storage part 1 rotatably supported by the storage body 1 so that the storage part 1a can be opened and closed. Storage device main body 1 including: lid 2
0 and a cover member 3 disposed adjacent to the storage device body 10 on the side where the lid 2 is located when the storage portion 1a is in an open state.
And a seal portion 2c having a plurality of grooves 2d at the tip and extending toward the cover member 3 is provided at the end of the cover member 2 on the cover member side. A plurality of protrusions 3a are provided, which protrude and enter the groove 2d of the seal portion 2c with a gap.

The housing 1 is formed with shaft portions 1b protruding outward on both side walls. Arm portions 2a are formed on both left and right sides of the back surface of the lid 2 on the seal portion side. Arm part 2
a is substantially L-shaped, is attached in a direction orthogonal to the lid 2, and has a tip bent toward the side opposite to the seal portion side. A hole 2b is formed at the tip of the arm 2a. When the shaft portion 1b of the housing 1 is inserted into the hole 2b of the arm portion 2a and screwed, the lid 2 rotates about the shaft portion 1b. The container 1 and the lid 2 are made of, for example, acrylonitrile
Made of styrene resin. The seal portion 2c is formed separately from the lid 2 and is made of, for example, a soft material such as elastomer, but may be formed integrally with the same material as the lid 2.

The surface of the cover member 3 on the storage device main body 10 side is curved substantially along the rotation locus of the lid 2, and
There is a gap S2 between zero. The projection 3a of the cover member 3 is provided on the curved surface from the center to the lower part.

In the process of opening the housing 1a by rotating about the rotation shaft 1b from a substantially horizontal state in which the housing 2 closes the housing 1a, the rotation of the housing 2 is made smooth. The seal portion 2 c has a predetermined interval without being in contact with the cover member 3. As shown in FIG. 4, the convex portion 3a of the cover member 3 enters the groove 2d of the seal portion 2c with a gap S3. In a state where the storage section 1a is completely opened, the lid 2 is oriented between the storage body 1 and the cover member 3 in a direction orthogonal to the horizontal. The number of the grooves 2d and the number of the protrusions 3a that enter the grooves 2d is one or more, and the shape may be arbitrary.

Next, the operation will be described. In a state where the cover 2 is horizontal with the storage portion 1a closed, as shown in FIG. 2, the seal 2c extends from the cover 2 toward the cover member 3, so that the cover 2 S1 between the cover member 3 and the cover member 3 is reduced, so that small articles such as cards and coins do not easily enter from the space S1 between the cover 2 and the cover member 3.

In the process of rotating the lid 2 from the horizontal state shown in FIG. 2 to fully open the storage section 1a shown in FIG. 3 and turning it in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal, the seal section 2c faces downward. For this reason, small items such as cards and coins easily enter the gap S2 between the storage device body 10 and the cover member 3 from the space S1 between the upper portion of the lid 2 and the cover member 3. However, even if the small articles enter the gap S2, the small articles do not enter below the gap S2 as long as the small articles are held above the protrusion 3a of the cover member 3. In the middle of the rotation of the lid 2, the gap S3 is formed at the portion where the groove 2d of the seal portion 2c and the projection 3a of the cover member 3 enter with the gap S3.
Is formed in a zigzag shape (uneven shape) as shown in FIG.
Even if small items enter the device 2, the small items are held by the seal portion 2c and the cover member 3, and it is possible to prevent small items from entering below the seal portion 2c. The small items held on the seal portion 2c are lifted while being held on the seal portion 2c that rotates upward when the lid 2 rotates to close the storage portion 1a. It is easy to take out from the gap S1.

[0012]

According to the vehicle storage device of the present invention, when the storage portion of the storage body is closed by the lid, the space between the lid and the cover member is reduced by the seal provided on the lid. Small items are difficult to enter. When the storage portion is opened, the seal portion of the lid moves downward, so that small articles may enter from between the storage body and the cover member. The cover member is held on the convex portion of the cover member or the seal portion, and is lifted up together with the seal portion when the lid rotates in the direction to close the storage portion, so that the cover can be easily taken out.
