The lid 41 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the opening 12 of the inner panel 11 is opened and closed, and the recessed groove 42o as a handle is upper (upper). 43d of storage space which is integrally provided in the lid body main body 42 formed in the center part, and the ceiling part (upper surface) which can be used as a coin case, and is integrally provided in the back surface side (rear side) of this lid body main body 42, for example. It is comprised by the box part 43 which has).

In addition, the box portion 43 has a C-shape open to the lower left and right ends of the bottom thereof when viewed from the side, and is supported by the support shaft 14 of the inner panel 11 so as to be rotatable. The part 44 (the support shaft holding part 44 of the left side is abbreviate | omitted not shown) is formed, and it moves in the follower part 33 of the tray 31 in the upper center of a rear end, and is the front side wall 33f or the rear side. The drive protrusion 45 (refer FIG. 5 (b)) which presses the side wall 33r is formed, and the elastic lock protrusion 26 of the case main body 22 is located to the left and right of the said drive protrusion 45 in the upper side of a rear end. The stopper 46 (refer FIG. 5 (b)) is formed in correspondence with the position.

In addition, the upper end of the drive protrusion 45 and the upper end of the stopper 46 are inclined surfaces descending from the front side to the rear side.

The tray lock mechanism 51 includes an elastic lock protrusion 26 formed in the case 21 (case body 22), a rear through hole 35 (fitting portion) formed in the tray 31, and a lid. It is comprised by the stopper 46 formed in the sieve 41 (box part 43).

Next, an example of assembly of the glove box B is demonstrated.

First, the tray 31 is inserted into the case main body 22 from the rear side, and the follower 33 is inserted into the notch 24 from the rear side wall 33r.

When the tray 31 is pushed into the case main body 22 in this state, each elastic lock protrusion 26 is pressed by the rear end of the tray 31, and it bends below the case main body 22, and each elastic Since the engaging stopper 32n of the stopper protrusion 32 is pressed by the left and right side walls of the case body 22, the elastic stopper protrusion 32 is bent into the tray 31, so that the case body 22 The tray 31 can be pushed in.

When each of the elastic lock protrusions 26 faces the rear through-hole 35 corresponding thereto, the elastic lock protrusions 26 return to their original states by their elasticity. 26 is fitted into the rear through hole 35. Moreover, when the engaging protrusion part 32n of each elastic stopper protrusion 32 opposes the guide hole 23 corresponding to this, each elastic stopper protrusion 32 will return to original state by its elasticity. Therefore, each engagement protrusion 32n is fitted into the guide hole 23.

Thus, when each elastic lock protrusion 26 is inserted into the rear side through-hole 35 corresponding to it, and each engagement protrusion 32n is inserted into the guide hole 23 corresponding to this, each elastic The lock protrusion 26 abuts (contacts) the rear end edge of the rear through hole 35, and each engaging protrusion 32n abuts (contacts) the front edge of the guide hole 23, thereby providing a tray. 31 does not fall out of the case body 22.

When the tray 31 is further pushed into the case body 22 in this state, each elastic lock protrusion 26 is pressed by the front edge of the rear through hole 35 and bent downward of the case body 22. Moreover, since each engaging protrusion 32n retreats along the inside of the guide hole 23, the tray 31 can be pushed further into the case main body 22. As shown in FIG.

And when each elastic lock protrusion 26 opposes the front side through-hole 34 corresponding to this, since each elastic lock protrusion 26 will return to original state by its elasticity, each elastic lock protrusion ( 26 is fitted into the front through hole 34.

When each of the elastic lock protrusions 26 is fitted into the front through hole 34 in this manner, the elastic lock protrusions 26 abut against (abut) the rear edges of the front through holes 34, thereby providing a tray 31. Does not fall out of the case body 22.

In this state, the tray 31 is accommodated in the case body 22.

Thus, the ceiling part of the skin attachment part 13 formed in the inner panel 11 between the case main body 22 in which the tray 31 was accommodated, and the attachment part 27 is inserted from the back side, and the front end of the case main body 22 is carried out. And the front end of the attachment portion 27 abuts against the back surface side of the inner panel 11, and then, for example, a skin attachment portion at the upper side of the attachment portion 27 by using a screw (two or more) (not shown) or the like. The case 21 can be attached to the inner panel 11 by screwing into the ceiling part of (13).

Subsequently, the box portion 43 of the lid 41 is inserted from the lower side at the front side of the opening 12 formed in the inner panel 11, and each support shaft holding portion 44 has a corresponding support shaft ( The cover body 41 is rotatably provided with respect to the inner panel 11 by holding in 14).

And when the cover body 41 is rotated about the support shaft 14 and pushed into the opening part 12, the drive protrusion 45 presses the front surface of the front side wall 33f of the follower part 33, At this time, since each engaging protrusion 32n is guided along the guide hole 23, the tray 31 retreats inside the case body 22, and the rear end of the tray 31 is the case body 22. Abuts the rear wall.

In this state, if the cover body 41 is further rotated and pushed further into the opening 12, the driving protrusion 45 rides over while pushing the front side wall 33f of the follower 33 to the rear to bend it, The cover body 41 can be further rotated until the driving protrusion 45 abuts against the rear side wall 33r of the follower 33, so that the cover body 41 can be rotated as shown in FIGS. The glove box B can be assembled in a state where the opening 12 is closed.

1 and 6, when the glove box B is assembled, the lid locking mechanism (not shown) is locked, so that the lid 41 can be freely opened.

Next, the operation of the glove box B will be described briefly.

First, in the state of FIG. 6, when the index finger is inserted into the concave groove 42o of the lid body 42 and pulls the lid 41 forward, the lid lock mechanism (not shown) is unlocked (unlocked). ), The lid 41 can be rotated in a direction (hereinafter, simply referred to as an “opening direction”) in which the opening 12 is opened.

When the cover body 41 is rotated in the opening direction of the opening 12 in this manner, the driving protrusion 45 abuts against the rear surface of the front side wall 33f of the follower 33 to move the front side wall 33f. By pressing to the side, at this time, each of the elastic lock protrusions 26 is pressed by the trailing edge of the front through hole 34 so as to bend downward, and the engagement protrusion 32n is guided along the guide hole 23. Therefore, the lid 41 can be opened, and the tray 31 can be advanced in the opening 12 (in the case 21) as shown in FIG. 7.

Then, when the lid 41 is further rotated in the opening direction of the opening 12, an elastic stopper protrusion formed in the tray 31 at the front end of the guide hole 23 formed in the left and right sidewalls of the case main body 22 ( As the engaging protrusion 32n of the 32 comes into contact with each other, as shown in FIG. 8, the lid 41 completely opens the opening 12, that is, the front end (part of) of the tray 31 opens. It is in the state which protruded from the edge part 12e.

Thus, when the cover body 41 is in the state which fully opened the opening part 12, as shown in FIG. 9, each elastic lock protrusion 26 opposes the rear through-hole 35, and each elastic lock protrusion 26 ) Is inserted into the rear through-hole 35 by returning to its original state by its elasticity, and at the same time, each stopper 46 abuts against the lower end of the elastic lock protrusion 26 so that the elastic lock protrusion 26 Is prevented from bending in the unlocking (unlock) direction, whereby the tray lock mechanism 51 is locked.

When the tray 31 is pressed into the case main body 22 in this state, the front edge of each rear through hole 35 tries to push down the elastic lock protrusion 26, but each elastic lock protrusion 26 is locked. Since the bending in the release (unlock) direction is prevented by the stopper 46, that is, even if an object strikes the tray 31 advanced in the opening 12, the tray 31 retreats into the opening 12. As shown in FIG. 8, the card 31 is securely accommodated in the tray 31, or the card is inserted into the board 31 of the automatic toll storage housed in the tray 31. As shown in FIG. Can be inserted reliably.

Moreover, the storage space 43d formed in the lid 41 can be used as a coin case or a small case.

Subsequently, when the cover body 41 is rotated in the closing direction of the opening part 12 in the state shown in FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. The stopper 46 is retracted from the lower end of the resilient lock protrusion 26 to the rear side while being contacted with the front surface of the rear side wall 33r apart from the rear surface.

Accordingly, by operating the components in the opposite manner to the above-described description, as shown in FIG. 11, the on-vehicle vehicle charging device 61 can be accommodated in the opening 12, and the opening 12 is covered with a lid ( Can be blocked by 41).

As described above, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the tray 31 having advanced the inside of the opening 12 in the state in which the lid 41 opens the opening 12 is prevented from retreating into the opening 12. Since the tray lock mechanism 51 is formed, the tray lock mechanism 51 is formed on the tray 31 and the elastic lock protrusion 26 formed in the case 21 for guiding the advance and retreat of the tray 31. And a stopper 46 formed in the cover body 41 and a stopper 46 formed in the cover body 41 to which the elastic lock protrusion 26 is engaged, and the cover body 41 is an opening portion. In conjunction with opening (12), the elastic lock protrusion (26) is engaged with the front edge of the rear through hole (35) while the tray (31) is advanced in the opening (12). Stopper 46 is in contact with the resilient lock protrusion 26 to prevent bending) in the unlocking direction. Therefore, even if an object strikes the tray 31 which has advanced the inside of the opening 12 in a state where the lid 41 opens the opening 12, the tray 31 does not retreat into the opening 12. The goods contained in the tray 31 and the goods to be accommodated in the tray 31 can be secured in and out.

Moreover, since the box part 43 which has the storage space 43d is integrally provided in the cover body 41, and the stopper 46 is formed in this box part 43, the strength of the stopper 46 is limited. (Support Strength) can be secured, and the function of the tray lock mechanism 51 can be reliably exhibited.

Since the automatic charge collection device 61 is accommodated in the tray 31, the card can be reliably inserted into the automatic charge collection device 61, and an opening ( Closing 12) prevents the automatic toll-mounting device 61 in the glove box B from being seen from the outside, thereby preventing the automatic-tolling vehicle-mounting device 61 from being stolen by a vehicle head or the like. .

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the advance position of the tray 31 is positioned by the front edge of the guide hole 23 in which the engaging protrusion 32n abuts is shown. For example, the structure in which the engaging part formed in the guide part is engaged with the engaged part formed in the tray may be sufficient.

Moreover, although the tray 31 protruded the front end part from the opening part 12 (opening end part 12e) in the state which the cover body 41 opened the opening part 12, the cover body opened the opening part. In the state, the tray may not necessarily protrude its front end from the opening (opening end).

Moreover, although the example which made the handle of the cover body 41 into the recessed groove 42o was shown, you may use it as a normal handle.
