Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an article storage box structure that is attached to an opening in the vehicle body of an automobile, particularly in the interior of the vehicle.

Traditionally, storage boxes such as storage boxes attached to the car body behind the seats and glove boxes attached to the car instrument panel,
Due to its mounting structure, it necessarily has a rectangular shape with uniform depth and width from the front to the back (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 51-63336), so the storage volume of the storage box is limited. In addition, there is a drawback that a relatively large dead space is created around the lower and upper parts of the storage box.

This invention includes a first box made of a rigid material having an article entrance/exit part in the front part and an opening in the body, and a box located on the opening side of the first box, covering the opening; The entire circumference of the upper edge of the opening forms a storage box with a second box whose entire circumference is made of flexible material attached to the first box at appropriate locations, and the first box is provided on the vehicle body side. The second box body is formed into a shape that can be inserted into the opening of the vehicle body, and a storage box in the back floor is formed by the second box body made of the flexible material, thereby reducing the dead space. The object of the present invention is to provide a deep floor-shaped automobile storage box structure that can rationally increase the article storage capacity of the storage box.

This invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which a storage box 1 is attached to the rear of a seat 2 of an automobile.

A rear floor deck 3 is fixed to the floor 4, and the floor 4 and the rear floor deck 3 constitute a part of the vehicle body.

The rear floor deck 3 has a vertical surface 3a perpendicular to the floor 4,
It is formed by a slope 3b and a horizontal surface 3c, and a rectangular vehicle body opening 5 that is elongated in the vehicle width direction is formed in the slope 3b, and the storage box 1 is attached to the vehicle body opening 5.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the storage box 1 is made of a rigid material (in this embodiment, it is made of synthetic resin), and has an article entrance 6a opened at the front and an opening 6c opened at the bottom of the body 6b. ), and a second box made of a flexible material, such as a non-woven fabric, having an upper opening edge 7a fixed to the lower part of the first box 6 and a bottom 7b so as to cover the opening 6c. A flange portion 6d is formed on the outer edge of the article entrance/exit portion 6a of the first box body 6, and the flange portion 6d is connected to the slope 3b of the rear floor deck 3 with four screws. It is configured to be fixed at

Then, the body 6b of the first box 6 is connected to the slope 3b of the body 6b.
It is shaped so that it can be inserted into the vehicle body opening 5.

Further, a lid 9 integral with the first box body 6 is formed on the upper side of the flange portion 6d via a thin hinge portion so as to be openable and closable, and a locking tool 10 is integrally formed in the longitudinal center portion of the lid. An engaging tool 11 that engages with the locking tool 10 is integrally formed on the lower side of the flange portion 6d.

Next, an example of a procedure for attaching the storage box 1 of this invention having the above structure to the slope 3b of the rear floor deck 3 will be explained.

First, since the second box body 7 of the storage box 1 is made of a flexible material, after pressing its bottom part 7b into the first box body 6 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. After inserting the body 6b of the first box 6 into the vehicle body opening 5 from the direction of arrow A (FIG. 2), fix the flange 6d to the slope 3b with screws, and then open the article entrance 6a of the storage box 1. When a hand is inserted and the bottom part 7b is pressed, the bottom part 7b returns to the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, and the installation of the storage box 1 is completed.

In the above embodiment, the first box body 6 is made of synthetic resin, but it goes without saying that it may also be made of metal.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of this invention.

In this embodiment, an opening 6'c is formed on the right side of the body 6'b of the first box 6', and a flexible second box 7 is formed to cover the opening 6'c. ' is attached to the first box body 6'.

Also in this embodiment, the first box 6' and the second box 7' constitute a storage box 1'.

When installing the storage box 1' in the vehicle body opening 5, it is necessary to insert the storage box 1' into the vehicle body opening 5 with the second box body 7' stored in the first box body 6'. 1st
This is similar to the example.

As described above, this invention has a structure in which the first box body of the storage box is made of a rigid material and the second box body is made of a visible material. By reducing the dead space around the storage box and obtaining a storage hook in the shape of a deep floor that is larger than the shape of the opening in the vehicle body into which the storage box is inserted, it is possible to rationally increase the storage volume of items. .
