Description

MOTORTING SYSTEM OF ROTARY OPENING / CLOSING MEMBER}

The present invention relates to a device for attaching a member that is opened and closed by a rotational operation such as a glove box installed on the passenger seat side of an instrument panel of a vehicle. More specifically, the damper can be installed by minimizing the installation space. The present invention relates to an attachment device capable of constructing such an excellent glove box or the like and facilitating attachment and detachment during maintenance.

The glove box for accommodating a vehicle inspection certificate or other accessory is normally provided in the passenger seat side of the instrument panel of a motor vehicle, The glove box is a type of the type which draws out by rotating the box main body itself by an instrument panel.

This type of glove box is rotatably attached to the opening of the instrument panel, and the box body is accommodated in the instrument panel in the closed state, and the instrument panel is rotated by rotating the upper side to the outside (seat side). The box body is pulled out from the opening of the box to take out the contents.

In addition, a glove box of such a type that is rotated and pulled out may be provided with a damper (braking device) for braking the rotational motion. In particular, in a glove box provided so that the rotational direction at the time of opening is directed downward, the glove box is more than necessary. It is preferable to attach such a damper (braking device) in order to prevent it from turning strongly.

Conventionally, a glove box having such a damper is known to have a cylinder-type air damper. The air damper is used to brake the rotation operation and to set the rotation control range at the time of opening. Some may support the open glove box.

However, such a cylinder type air damper requires a large installation space, and therefore, when installed in an instrument panel of a space-limited vehicle, there is a drawback that the storage volume of the glove box is inevitably reduced.

On the other hand, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-254990 (Patent Document 1) proposes a braking device having a braking shaft having a predetermined turning resistance, and a glove box using a so-called shaft damper. By using a damper, the installation space of a damper can be made comparatively small, and it becomes possible to enlarge the accommodation volume of a glove box by that much.

However, in the glove box described in this patent document 1, there is a problem that a detachment operation is very complicated when the glove box needs to be removed during assembly work or maintenance.

That is, in the conventional glove box, a damper is directly assembled to the rotation shaft of the glove box, and the rotation shaft and the damper are connected to each other and the rotation shaft and the damper are fixed to the instrument panel via the hinge bracket. Many screws are used for fixing a damper or fixing a hinge bracket. Therefore, it requires a lot of screw fixing work, and it is necessary to connect the rotating shaft and the damper, and to carry out the screw fixing work while maintaining the connection state. Since it must be done at, the workability of the assembling work and detachment work at the time of maintenance is poor.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-254990

The braking force by the damper (braking device) is applied at this time of drawing out the rotation.

In this case, in the present invention, as described above, a damping device having a braking shaft having a predetermined turning resistance as a damper (braking device), a so-called shaft damper, is used, which is the same as the rotating shaft of the glove box (rotating opening and closing member). Since it is formed on an axis line, it does not require a large installation space like a cylinder type damper, and the volume of a box main body can be comparatively large.

Moreover, in the attachment apparatus of this invention, since the connection of the said installation base body and the rotation opening / closing member is made by fitting the rotation shaft formed in one side to the bearing part of C-shaped cross section formed in the other, the rotation shaft is C-shaped. By sliding the fitting into the bearing part at the opening side of the bearing, it is possible to connect the pivotal opening and closing member to the installation body very easily without requiring complicated work such as screwing.

In addition, in the present invention, the engagement member is fixed to the braking shaft of the braking device, and the engagement member is engaged with the engagement portion to form a brake mechanism, and the engagement member and the engagement portion are engaged with each other. Since the direction of disengaging and the direction of fitting / detaching the C-shaped bearing portion and the rotation shaft are set to be the same direction, the rotation of the glove box or the like is made by fitting the C-shaped bearing portion and the rotation shaft. At the same time as connecting the opening and closing member and the installation gas such as the instrument panel, the engaging member can be engaged with the engaging portion to effectively interpose the shaft damper (braking device) between the receiving box and the installation gas. Also, when the rotation opening and closing member is detached from the installation body, the pivot shaft is detached from the C-shaped bearing portion and the engaging member is engaged. By leaving standing interposed state of the damper shaft (brake device) it is also to be able to turn.

Therefore, according to the attachment device of the rotation opening and closing member of the present invention, the rotation opening and closing member can be attached without requiring a large space for installing the damper. It can be taken relatively large, and it is very easy to assemble rotation opening / closing members such as glove boxes and attach / detach work during maintenance, so it is very suitable for attaching a glove box of an automobile to an instrument panel. Will be.
