Console box

Abstract

A console box in which an engagement piece (29) moved by operation of an operation button (40) is made to extend from and retract into each positioning recess (15, 16), which facilitates positional adjustment of a lid (3) and, in normal use, allows the lid (3) to be retained with high position retaining force. Slits are cut in a base body (7) to form a cantilever section (51) on the base body (7), and the front end of the cantilever section (51) has the positioning recess (16). When accidental external force causes a load greater than or equal to a predetermined level to act on the cantilever section (51) via the engagement piece (29), the cantilever section (51) is deflected to release engagement between the engagement piece (29) and the positioning recess (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a storage box (console box). Background technique [0002] In the storage box, there is a tendency to use the cover (box cover (box cover)) arranged on the box body as an armrest (arm rest). Recently, car seats can be slid. In order to secure the use as an armrest, a cover body capable of position adjustment in the sliding direction has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a structure in which an upper wall (front and rear support 12) is provided on the main body of the storage box, and the lid is slidable in the front and rear directions on the upper wall. The method is held on the upper wall body, and positioning recesses (locking recesses) are sequentially formed on the inner surface of the cover along the front and rear directions. On the other hand, an engaging piece is provided on the upper wall body through a spring member. The sheet is pressed against the inner surface of the cover by means o...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in such a storage box, although the ease of position adjustment of the slider and the retraction movement of the slider due to a sudden external force can be ensured, in order to realize the smoothness of the position adjustment and the retraction movement (especially the position adjustment) Action, the position holding force of the cover is set relatively small, so there is a tendency that in addition to the above-mentioned method, although it is intended to hold the position of the slider, as long as an external force exceeding the small position holding force acts, the cover will be very difficult. Easy to move (decrease in the position retention of the cover)

In this regard, it is conceivable to set the position holding force of the cover to be relatively large, but in this case, the operability etc. for position adjustment of the cover will be reduced.
