DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glove box mounting structure which can easily assemble an instrument panel to an inner surface of an opening.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An instrument panel equipped with instruments is provided in front of a driver's seat in the interior of an automobile. On the passenger side of the instrument panel, a synthetic resin glove is provided as a storage compartment. A box is provided. In this glove box, as shown in FIG. 4, a box-shaped glove box main body 102 having an upper surface opened in an opening hole 101 formed in an instrument panel 100 is rotatable through both side surfaces thereof. The glove box main body 102 is pivoted to the outside of the opening hole 101 so as to take out and put in stored items.

FIG. 5 shows a conventional glove box mounting structure. In a glove box main body 102, a shaft portion 103 provided outside a side surface portion is provided on an inner side surface of an opening hole 101 of an instrument panel 100. It is mounted by engaging with the mounting hole 104 provided.

[0004]

However, according to such a conventional glove box mounting structure, the glove box main body 102 is attached to the instrument panel 10.
In order to assemble the glove box main body 102 into the opening hole 101, the glove box body 102 is inserted from the side as shown by the arrow X. Such assembling work,
Assembly work was not easy because the work was performed in a deep place inside the vehicle cabin. The shaft 103 provided on the glove box main body 102 is attached to the mounting hole 104.
When the glove box main body 102 is pushed into the inside of the opening hole 101 of the instrument panel 100 in order to engage with the shaft member 103, the inner wall surface 105 of the opening hole 101 of the instrument panel 100 may be damaged by the shaft portion 103.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a glove box mounting structure in which the glove box body can be easily assembled without damaging the instrument panel.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a shaft provided on an outer surface of a glove box main body can be turned on a support portion in a front opening provided on an instrument panel. In the glove box mounting structure which is pivotally mounted on the glove box main body, the instrument panel has a front opening inner wall surface on which the shaft portion of the glove box main body is mounted is formed on a slope extending toward an opening side, and the glove box main body is formed. Is formed on the slope in the same direction as the above-mentioned slope to guide the shaft of the glove box body to the mounting hole of the support along the slope of the inner wall surface of the front opening of the instrument panel. In addition, the insertion side of the instrument panel into the inner wall surface of the opening is formed on the slope from the center position of the tip of the shaft of the glove box body, so that the shaft can be easily inserted and hardly come off. Although the shafts of the present invention are provided on the outer surfaces on both sides of the glove box main body, a slope may be formed only on one shaft. Also, the slope on the inner surface of the front opening of the instrument panel may be formed only on the shaft portion side on which the slope of the glove box body is formed.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show the mounting structure of the glove box of the present invention.
Is a perspective view showing an instrument panel and a glove box, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the glove box main body of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.

1 to 3, an instrument panel 1 provided in front of a driver's seat is provided with a synthetic resin glove box main body 2 as a storage compartment on the passenger's seat side. The glove box body 2 is provided on the inner wall surface 4 of the opening 3 provided in the instrument panel 1.
It is mounted so that both side surfaces 5 are pivotally supported.
A shaft portion 6 is provided on the side surface 5 of the glove box main body 2, and the shaft portion 6 is engaged with a mounting hole 7 provided on the inner wall surface 4 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 1 to support the shaft. doing.

Opening hole 3 of instrument panel 1
The inner wall surface 4 has a slope 8 formed in a direction expanding toward the opening side, and the mounting hole 7 is formed in the middle of the slope 8. On the other hand, the shaft portion 6 provided on the side surface 5 of the glove box main body 2 has a tip formed on a slope 9 in the same direction as the slope 8 to form a slope on the inner wall surface 4 of the front opening hole 3 of the instrument panel 1. The shaft 6 of the glove box main body 2 is guided to the mounting hole 7 along the line 8. The slope 9 of the shaft portion 6 of the glove box main body 2 is formed such that the insertion side of the opening hole 3 of the instrument panel 1 into the inner wall surface 4 from the center O position of the tip of the shaft portion is formed on the slope 9. Are easy to insert and hard to remove.

According to the above configuration, in order to assemble the glove box main body 2 into the front opening 3 of the instrument panel 1, an arrow is seen from the front along the slope 8 of the inner wall surface 4 of the front opening 3 of the instrument panel 1. By pushing in the Y direction, the shaft portion 6 of the glove box main body 2 becomes the slope 8 of the inner wall surface 4 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 1.
And engages with the mounting hole 7. Thus, the glove box main body 2 is rotatably supported by the inner wall surface 4 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 1 with the shaft 6 engaged with the mounting hole 7.

According to the above embodiment, the shaft portion 6 of the glove box main body 2 is guided along the slope 8 of the inner wall surface 4 of the opening hole 3 of the instrument panel 1, and the mounting hole 7
, The glove box main body 2 can be easily assembled to the front opening hole 3 of the instrument panel 1, so that the assembling workability is improved. Also,
Since the inner wall surface 4 of the front opening hole 3 of the instrument panel 1 is not damaged when assembling the glove box main body 2, there is no danger of lowering the product value.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the slope 8 provided on the inner wall surface 4 of the front opening 3 of the instrument panel 1 is provided only on the inner wall surface 4 on one side. May be. In this case, the shaft portion 6 of the glove box main body 2 may be provided with the slope 9 only on the shaft portion 6 on one side. Further, the slope 9 provided on the shaft portion 6 may be provided on the entire tip of the shaft portion 6 or may be provided on only a part thereof. In any case, the slope 9 may be provided on the side of the instrument panel 1 to be inserted into the front opening 3.
