Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a console box such as the one formed on the floor between the front left and right seats of an automobile. To provide a console box for an automobile that facilitates taking things in and out and can also be used as a trash can without narrowing the interior space or spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

Currently, trash cans for automobiles include those that have a supporting member 2 attached to one side of the trash can 1 as shown in FIG. There is one in which a hook 4 is attached to one side of the console box 1 and the hook 4 is suspended from the edge 6 of the console box 5. However, the above-mentioned devices have the drawback of narrowing the space inside the vehicle, making it inconvenient to operate the vehicle, and also detracting from the aesthetic appearance.

The present invention provides a console box that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional console by adopting the configuration described in the claims of the utility model registration. That is, in the present invention, the storage is not formed integrally with the console box body, but is formed separately and fitted into the console box body so that it can be inserted into and removed from it.

The configuration of the illustrated embodiment will be explained below.
In FIGS. 3 to 5, the console box main body 7 is installed on the floor surface 8 between the left and right seats (not shown), and a lid 9 that can be opened and closed with a hinge is attached to the top of the main body 7. A removable storage 11 is fitted into an opening 10 of the internal space of the main body 7, which is opened and closed by the lid 9. The storage 11 is made of a plate material such as various synthetic resins, aluminum, or stainless steel. The engaging portion between the opening 10 and the storage 11 is formed on a rib 12 attached to the mouth of the opening 10 so as to protrude inward.
A collar 13 attached to the outer periphery of the upper edge is placed and engaged, and the storage 11 is held in a suspended state within the opening 10.

On the other hand, tapered pawls 14 are attached to the outer surfaces of a pair of opposing side plates of the storage 11 and gradually expand upward and outward with a spacing from the flange 13.
The claws 14 are separated by U-shaped grooves 15 at the portions where both sides thereof connect with the storage compartment 11 body on the lower side, and the claws 14 connect to the storage compartment 11 at the upper part thereof.
It is installed integrally with the side plate of the main body.

Furthermore, the collar 13 located at the upper part of the claw 14
A notch 16 is formed in the flange 1.
3 and the claw 14 is set to an appropriate distance so that the tip of the rib 12 can fit therebetween. still,
The broken line in FIG. 3 shows the state when the storage 11 is pulled up, and the reference numeral (K) indicates a cushion for pressing the collar 13 of the storage 11 attached to the back surface of the lid 9.

The present invention has the structure as described above,
Normally, when the lid 9 is closed, the storage compartment 11 is hidden from the outside, and since it is just a console box, the aesthetics are not affected in any way, and the interior space of the vehicle is not affected at all. Further, in order to take out and take out small items or to store garbage, etc., the lid 9 can be opened and stored in the storage 11. Particularly in use while driving, when the lid 9 is opened, the storage compartment 11 is opened by the claw 14.
Since it is locked by a rib 12 formed in the opening 10 of the console box main body 7, there is no fear of it flying out due to vibrations or the like during driving.

Next, to take out the storage 11, the storage 11
It can be easily removed by inserting a finger from inside and bending the lower end of the claw 14 inward as shown by the arrow in FIG.

In addition, when installing the storage compartment 11, the storage compartment 1
1 can be inserted from the upper part of the opening 10. In this case, since the claw 14 is formed in a tapered shape that gradually expands outward toward the collar 13, the storage compartment 1
1, the claw 14 is slightly pressed against the elasticity of the tip of the rib 12 toward the inside of the storage 11, and once the claw 14 passes the rib 12, the inward pressing force is released. and restore it to its original state, and
3 is placed on and engaged with the rib 12, and the rib 1
2 is inserted into the space between the collar 13 and the claw 14 and is attached. That is, the storage 11 can be installed and locked in one movement by simply inserting it into the opening 10.

Further, in this case, since the connection portion between both sides of the claw 14 and the lower side plate is separated by the U-shaped cut groove 15, the claw 14 can be separated from the side plate of the storage 11 independently. can be deflected, so the claw 1
Since both the force for bending and the restoring force for the storage compartment 11 are small, it is easy to fit and remove the storage compartment 11.

As described above, the present invention has a storage compartment formed separately from the main body of the console box that is removably fitted into the main body of the console box, so that it is possible to take out items while they are stored in the storage compartment. Also, you can easily clean the storage compartment.

In addition, the storage compartment is hidden from the outside by keeping the lid closed at all times, so the aesthetics are not compromised in any way.
It can be used as needed by opening the lid, so it is easy to operate and can be used while driving.

Furthermore, even if the lid is left open while driving, the claw on the storage compartment acts as a stopper, so there is no risk of it flying out due to the shaking of the car. It can be easily removed by bending it, and when installing the storage compartment, it can be installed and locked in one motion by simply inserting it into the opening of the console box body from the top, making it easy to install and remove it. be.
