Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a rotating glove box device for a vehicle.

As a conventional glove box device, there is one shown in FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a box body, 2 is a lid attached to the lower end of the opening of the box body 1 with a pin hinge 3, and 4 is an arc-shaped flexible stopper with one end fixed to the lid, and a loose stopper in the middle of the upper surface. A stepped portion 4a is formed.

The other end is inserted into a through hole (not shown) provided in the frame 1a of the box body 1, and is prevented from coming out by a protrusion (not shown) at the tip.

5 is a grommet provided at the edge of the through hole.

Further, the stopper 4 is attached so as to press the upper edge of the grommet 5 by utilizing its flexibility.

In the case of a glove box device with this structure, when the lid 2 is pulled toward you, the stepped portion 4a of the stopper 4 is moved to the grommet 5.
Lid 2 rotates when 1 catches on the upper edge of .

When the lid 2 is caught and stopped, it is when the lid 2 has reached the intermediate open position.

At this point, when the lid 2 is pulled with a little more force applied, the step 4a of the stopper 4 comes into contact with the upper edge of the grommet 5, so that the stopper 4 is pushed down and bent downward, and is removed from the grommet 5.

Then, when the protrusion at the tip is caught on the grommet 5, the lid 2 is completely opened.

However, when this type of glove box device is applied to a rotating glove box device in which the lid and the box body are integrally formed, the stopper 4 easily bends due to the weight of the glove box body itself. However, even the stepped portion 4a does not catch on the grommet 5.

Therefore, there is a problem in that the glove box main body cannot be reliably held in the intermediate open position.

This invention was made to solve the above problems.

Hereinafter, the appropriation of this invention will be explained with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

In the figure, 6 is an instrument panel, and 6a is a recess into which a glove box main body 7, which will be described later, is installed.

The glove box main body 7 includes a lid 7a and a box 7.
b and are integrally formed with an opening 7c provided above,
Its lower end is attached to the lower edge of the recess 6a with a pin hinge 8.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a pair of small shafts provided symmetrically on the left and right side walls of the box 7b, and 10 represents a pair of left and right plates provided with guide portions 10a for guiding the small shafts 9. The brackets are mounted on the instrument panel 6 at the top of the box 1b. It is fixed to the pin 12 attached at 11.

This plate 10 has a bent shape toward the instrument panel 6 side, and the guide portion 10a is formed by a first guide slit A and a second guide slit B that are continuously provided along the bent shape. (3rd
figure).

The first guide slit A is a guide slit that guides the glove box main body 7 from the closed position to the intermediate open position 1, and the second guide slit B is a guide slit that guides the glove box body 7 from the intermediate open position to the open position.

A stepped portion C is formed at the end of the first guide slit A at the intermediate open position side, into which the small shaft 9 fits at least to a certain extent.

This stepped portion C may be provided on one side of the plates 10 that are symmetrically provided.

Next, the operation will be explained based on the above configuration.

When the lid 7a of the glove box main body 7 in the closed position ■ is pulled forward, the small shaft 9 of the box 7b presses the plate 10 so as to rotate in the direction of the arrow R about the pin 12, and the first guide slit. Slide inside A in the direction of arrow X.

When the small shaft 9 is fitted into the stepped portion C, the glove box main body 7 comes to the half-filled position, that is, the intermediate open position (2).

When the lid 7a reaches this position (2), even if more force is applied to the lid 7a and the lid 7a is pulled, the small shaft 9 fitted into the step C cannot be easily removed by just pulling it.

Therefore, in order to completely open the glove box main body 7 from the intermediate open position ■ to the open position ■, push back the glove box main body 7 slightly and raise the small shaft 9 in the direction of the arrow Y to reach the step C. At the same time, pull the plate 10 toward you, that is, in the direction of arrow S, and pull the lid 7a.

Then, the small shaft 9 slides in the second guide slit B in the direction of the arrow mark 2 and stops at the open position (3), and the glove box main body 7 is completely opened.

On the other hand, to close the glove box main body 7 that has been completely opened all at once, it is sufficient to push the lid 7a and move the small shaft 9 from the open position (2) to the closed position (2) all at once.

Additionally, if you end up in the middle open position (■), just follow the steps in the opposite direction to open it.

As mentioned above, the glove box device of this invention is a rotating glove box device in which the glove box main body can be pulled out from the instrument panel using the pin hinge at the lower end as the rotation axis, and the glove box main body has small shafts on both sides, The plates disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the glove box body have guide portions that guide the small shaft as the glove box body rotates, and the ends of the plates are connected to the instrument panel by means of pins. The guide portion of the plate is movably supported, and includes a first guide slit that guides the glove box body from the closed position to the intermediate open position 1, and a second guide slit that guides the glove box body from the intermediate open position to the open position 1. The first guide slit is formed with a stepped portion at the end of the first guide slit on the intermediate open position side, into which the small shaft fits and holds the glove box main body in the intermediate open position. When opened, the small shaft always fits into the step and cannot be easily removed.

Therefore, the glove box can be reliably held in the intermediate open position.
