Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to the structure of a box for storing small items, such as an EVA console box or a glove box, which is provided in the interior of an automobile.

Conventionally, the stopper provided on this type of opening/closing lid has been installed through a hole 51a drilled in the inner plate 51 of the opening/closing lid as shown in FIG.
A stopper 52 made of an elastic material such as rubber is fitted to the bottom of the box, and by bringing the lower part of the stopper 52 into contact with the box opening end surface 53, there is no contact noise between the opening/closing lid inner plate 51 and the box opening end surface 53. It had absorbed the shock of time.

Furthermore, there is a resilient portion 5 at the bottom of the stopper 52 shown in FIG.
2a is provided to improve the stopper function.

According to the above conventional structure, since the stopper, which is a separate part, is attached to the opening/closing lid, it requires man-hours for assembly, and also requires man-hours and equipment for forming the stopper, which poses problems in terms of workability and cost, and improvements are desired. It was rare.

This idea was devised in view of the above points, and it reduces the number of parts by using a sloped piece integrally formed on the inner plate of the opening/closing lid as a stopper, and a combination of the locking piece and the sloped piece provided on the opening/closing lid. This prevents the opening/closing lid from rattling when the opening/closing lid is closed, and allows the opening/closing lid to be opened/closed to some extent when the lock is released.
Makes the lid easy to open.

A detailed example of this invention in the case of a console box will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Figure 1 shows the cross-sectional shape of the Koisole box, where 1 is the console body, 2 is the console box with an open structure that forms a storage area inside, and 3 is the opening/closing lid, which is made of synthetic resin with appropriate elasticity such as polypropylene. It has an inner plate 3a! Further, the upper part of the opening/closing lid 3 is reinforced together with the pad member 3b'f'tI by a rigid reinforcement @3'cK such as an iron plate.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a hinge, one end of which is pivoted to the console body 1 with a pin, and the other end fixed to the opening/closing lid 3 with screws or the like.
Supports rotatably.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a lock piece, the inner end of which is rotatably pivotally mounted within the opening/closing lid 3 by a pin, and the outer end of which is integrally formed with a handle portion 5a and a locking portion 5b.

The locking piece 5 has a locking portion 5b that engages with a protrusion 2a formed on the upper end of the side wall of the box 2, and is biased by a spring (not shown) or the like in a direction to maintain this engagement.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an inclined piece, which is integrally formed with the inner plate 3a and comes into contact with the opening end surface 2b of the box 2.

FIG. 2a) shows an enlarged view of the inclined piece 6 that can be buttoned at section A in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2b) and FIG. 3, the inclined piece 6 has a four-sided shape curved in its longitudinal direction, and projects obliquely from the opening/closing lid inner plate 3a toward the opening end surface 2b of the box 2. The tip is also a free end.

Further, an opening 3a' is formed in the inner plate 3a above the inclined piece 6 so as not to hinder the vertical swinging of the inclined piece 6.

Reference numeral 6a denotes a contact portion that makes line contact with the opening end surface 2b of the box 2.

Reference numeral 6b is the tip of the inclined piece, which is a free end.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a sloped piece 6 according to another embodiment. The sloped piece 6 is shaped like a spoon and has a button, and the contact with the open end face 2b of the box 2 is a point contact.

In the above embodiment, the shape of the inclined piece 6 is shown as a quadrilateral, but the shape is not limited to a circular shape, a triangular shape, etc.

The point is that it is a cantilever beam with a free end, and when it comes into contact with the box opening end surface, it should protrude swingably and press the button.

Further, the elasticity of the inclined piece 6 is calculated as follows: inclined - angle of inclination of the piece 6;
By changing the length, thickness, and width, you can change the strength to your desired strength.

To explain the function of the inclined piece 6 that is buttoned in the above structure, when the opening/closing lid 3 is closed, it opens, and the inclined piece 6 formed on the inner plate of the closing lid 3a opens.
comes into contact with the opening end surface 2b of the box 2 and swings from the position shown by the solid line in FIG. do.

At the same time as the locking piece 5 is released, the locking portion 5b and the protrusion 2a of the box 2 engage with each other (the state shown in FIG. 1), and this state is maintained by the spring force.

As a result, a force is exerted on the opening/closing lid 3 to rotate it upward due to the elasticity of the inclined piece 6, but the locking portion 5b and the protrusion 2a? Since the upward rotation is prevented by the 4 joints, opening/closing □Lid inner plate 3a
The lid 3 is elastically maintained with a gap formed between the opening end surface 2b of the box 2 and the opening end surface 2b of the box 2, thereby preventing the opening/closing lid 3 from shaking.

In addition, in order to open the opening/closing lid 3, use the handle 5 of the lock piece 5.
By lifting a upwardly with a finger, the locking portion 5b and the protrusion 2a are disengaged, and the opening/closing lid 3 is opened to some extent by the elasticity of the inclined piece 6, making it easier to open.

As described above, this invention is based on an opening/closing lid inner plate made of a synthetic resin material with appropriate elasticity, which is provided on the opening/closing lid that covers the opening of the box main body, which has a storage section inside and has an open structure. By integrally molding a slanted piece with a free end that protrudes toward the front, and bringing the slanted piece into contact with the box opening end face to exert a stopper function, a stopper made of a separate part can be added to a conventional opening/closing lid. Compared to the previously assembled structure, the number of parts can be reduced without reducing the stopper function, reducing assembly man-hours and improving work efficiency. , it has the effect of reducing costs and has great practical value.

In addition, when the opening/closing lid is closed, the elasticity of the sloped piece prevents the opening/closing lid from shaking, and the engagement part of the locking piece and the protrusion of the box body (when released, the elasticity of the sloped piece prevents the opening/closing lid from opening to some extent. It is easy to release.
