Storage device for vehicle

Abstract

The invention provides a containing device for vehicles, which can further absorb impact under condition that containing depth is not enough deep and has a simple impact absorption structure. The containing device (11) for vehicles is arranged in an instrument panel, and has a cover(16) which is rotating by fulcrum shaft portions (47, 48) of a hinge mechanism (36) arranged at a lower part (37). The containing device (11) for vehicles includes a projecting portion (61) projecting towards back side from the lower part (37) of the cover (16) and supporting the hinge mechanism (36), and a deformation permission portion (81) is formed on the projecting portion (61) and is deformed when predetermined load acting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a storage device for a vehicle which is arranged opposite to a passenger seat in a vehicle interior. Background technique [0002] The storage device of the vehicle is, for example, a glove box provided in front of the passenger seat. [0003] Some glove boxes have a structure in which the left and right sides of the box are arranged in the instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat substantially in parallel with the front door of the vehicle, and curved surfaces are formed respectively, and ribs are attached to the curved surfaces, thereby enabling Shock is absorbed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1.). [0004] In addition, in the glove box structure, the front surface wall is arranged in the instrument panel in front of the passenger seat, and the front surface wall has a hollow structure formed by the base wall of the box and the surface plate installed on the seat side of the base wall. Since the grid-sh...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the glove box of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to deform and crush the left and right sides, and when the depth becomes small, the desired effect cannot be obtained.

Especially in the case of adopting an interior in which the instrument panel is curved around the occupant, since the central part of the instrument panel between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat protrudes, the depth of the left side near the door cannot be ensured.

In other words, there is a problem that it is difficult to absorb impacts on the right side near the central part.

[0008] Suppose it is also possible to make the shape of the side on the left different from the shape of the side on the right, but the structure will become complicated

[0009] In the glove box structure of Patent Document 2, it is necessary to make the front wall have such a thickness that the grid-shaped first shock absorbing mechanism can be arranged in the hollow part of the front wall, but depending on the conditions, it is impossible to ensure the storage capacity. The thickness of the front surface wall

For example, in the case of adopting an interior in which the instrument panel is curved around the occupant, since the central part of the instrument panel between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat protrudes and the depth near the door becomes smaller, the hollow part of the front surface wall As a result, there is a problem that the amount of deformation of the first shock absorbing mechanism becomes small and it is difficult to absorb shocks

[0010] It is assumed that the thickness of the hollow portion near the central portion can also be increased (widened), but the structure such as the thickness setting of the first shock absorbing mechanism will become complicated
