[0014] The storage portion 20 is, for example, an integrally molded product made of resin. Also, the storage portion 20 generally has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction and short in the vehicle width direction. Hereinafter, the direction along the front-rear direction of the vehicle may be referred to as the longitudinal direction of the storage portion 20. Also, the direction along the vehicle width direction may be referred to as the width direction of the storage portion 20.

[0015] Refer to FIG. 2. The storage portion 20 includes a bottom surface portion 21 constituting the bottom surface, a standing surface portion 22 rising from the bottom surface portion 21 to constitute a standing surface, a hinge placement portion 23 extending outward from the standing surface portion 22 on which the hinge member 30 is placed, and ribs 25 formed on the side portion of the standing surface portion 22 to enhance strength. The upper end of the standing surface portion 22 is open. Hereinafter, the standing surface portion 22 may be referred to as the outer peripheral surface 22.

[0016] The standing surface portion 22 includes first surface portions 22a, 22a provided substantially parallel to each other to constitute side surfaces, second surface portions 22b, 22b provided so as to approach each other from one end of the first surface portions 22a, 22a, third surface portions 22c, 22c provided so as to be separated from the first surface portions 22a, 22a based on the tips of the second surface portions 22b, 22b, and a fourth surface portion 22d connecting the tips of the third surface portions 22c, 22c. The rear surface of the storage portion 20 is constituted by the second surface portions 22b to the fourth surface portions 22d.

[0017] The first surface portion 22a generally extends in the longitudinal direction.

[0018] The second surface portion 22b is formed at an obtuse angle with respect to the first surface portion 22a. More specifically, the second surface portion 22b extends from the rear end of the first surface portion 22a towards the center in the width direction and slightly towards the rear. The tip of the hinge member 30 abuts against the second surface portion 22b.

[0019] The third surface portion 22c extends generally in the front-to-back direction, while also extending toward the center in the width direction. The third surface portion 22c is sandwiched by the hinge member 30.

[0020] The fourth surface portion 22d extends generally along the width direction. A positioning portion 24 for positioning the hinge member 30 extends rearward from the fourth surface portion 22d.

[0021] The rib 25 is formed to connect the second surface portion 22b and the third surface portion 22c.

[0022] Refer to Figures 3 and 4. The hinge member 30 includes a fixed part 40 fixed to the storage part 20, a swing part 50 that is swingably attached to the fixed part 40 and capable of supporting the lid 60, a damper 33 provided on the swing part 50 that generates damping force, a round rod-shaped shaft member 34 that penetrates the fixed part 40 and supports the swing part 50, and springs 35, 35 provided so as to surround the shaft member 34 and bias the swing part 50 in the direction of opening the lid 60.

[0023] Refer to Figure 2. The fixing part 40 is made of, for example, a single molded part made of resin. The fixing part 40 has a fixing surface part 41 that is fixed to the storage part 20, side plate parts 42, 42 that extend from the fixing surface part 41 along the outer circumferential surface of the storage part 20 and sandwich the outer circumferential surface 22 (third surface part 22c), and contact surface parts 43, 43 that are curved from the tips of these side plate parts 42, 42 along the storage part 20 (second surface part 22b) and in contact with the storage part 20.

[0024] Refer to Figure 5. The fixing portion 40 further includes a rack portion 44 formed in a rack shape on an arc centered on the axis of the swing portion 50, a guide portion 45 extending substantially parallel to the outer circumference of the rack portion 44, a stopper portion 46 formed to close the tip of the guide portion 45 and defining the amount of swing of the swing portion 50, and a mounting portion contact portion 47 that connects the contact surface portion 43 to the guide portion 45 and is in contact with and supported by the hinge mounting portion 23.

[0025] Refer to Figure 2. The fixed surface portion 41 has a center in the width direction that protrudes toward and abuts toward the fourth surface portion 22d. The fixed surface portion 41 has a positioning hole portion 41a through which the positioning portion 24 passes.

[0026] The side plates 42, 42 sandwich the third surface 22c, 22c via the ribs 25, 25. In other words, the side plates 42, 42 sandwich the outer surface 22.

[0027] The contact surfaces 43, 43 may always be in contact with the storage section 20, or they may be left with a slight gap and only come into contact with the storage section 20 when a load or the like is applied. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the entire contact surfaces 43, 43 to be in contact with the storage section 20; only a portion of them may be in contact.

[0028] The guide section 45 consists of two plate-shaped parts arranged parallel to each other, formed in an arc shape with respect to the axis CL. The part closer to the rack section 44 is called the first guide section 45a, and the outer part is called the second guide section 45b.

[0029] The stopper portion 46 is formed to connect the first guide portion 45a and the second guide portion 45b.

[0030] The mounting portion contact portion 47 may always be in contact with the hinge mounting portion 23, or it may be that the hinge mounting portion 23 is slightly separated under normal circumstances and only comes into contact with the mounting portion 23 when a load is applied to the swing portion 50. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the entire hinge mounting portion 23 to be in contact with the mounting portion contact portion 47; it is acceptable for only a part of it to be in contact.

[0031] Refer to Figure 4. The swing section 50 is made of, for example, a single molded part made of resin. The swing section 50 has left and right swing section bodies 51, 51 that are rotatably supported on the shaft member 34, a cover support section 52 that connects these swing section bodies 51, 51 and is inserted into the cover 60, a damper housing section 53 formed in each swing section body 51 and housing a damper 33 inside (only the left damper housing section 53 is shown), and protruding sections 54, 54 that protrude from each swing section body 51 toward the fixed section 40.

[0032] Refer to Figure 3 as well. The lid support portion 52 extends radially from the axis CL and abuts against the lid 60. The tip of the lid support portion 52 is a protrusion 52a that projects toward the lid 60 and is inserted into the lid 60.

[0033] Refer to Figure 5. The protruding portion 54 swings in an arc shape around the axis CL. When the protruding portion 54 swings, it passes between the first guide portion 45a and the second guide portion 45b and stops when it comes into contact with the stopper portion 46. The position where the protruding portion 54 comes into contact with the stopper portion 46 is the maximum opening position of the lid 60.

[0034] Refer to Figure 4 as well. The damper 33 has a damper body 33a housed in a damper housing 53 and capable of generating damping force, and a gear part 33b connected to the damper body 33a and displaced while rotating along the rack part 44.

[0035] The damper 33 generates a damping force, which prevents the lid 60 from opening too forcefully.

[0036] The end of the cover 60 is formed into a recess 60a, into which the cover support portion 52 is inserted. The cover 60 extends radially from the axis CL so that the cover support portion 52 is extended.

[0037] Refer to Figure 6. The storage device 10 is assembled by attaching the hinge member 30 to the storage section 20 (hinge member attachment step), and then attaching the lid 60 to the hinge member 30 attached to the storage section 20 (lid attachment step). The lid 60 can be attached by sliding it along the direction in which the lid support portion 52 extends from the axis CL of the hinge member 30 (see Figure 5). In other words, the lid attachment step is performed by sliding the lid 60 along the direction in which the lid support portion 52 extends from the axis CL of the hinge member 30.

[0038] It is also possible to attach the lid 60 to the hinge member 30 beforehand and then attach it to the storage compartment 20. However, it is preferable to perform the hinge member attachment process first, followed by the lid attachment process, as this makes the assembly process easier.

[0039] <Example 2> Next, Example 2 will be described based on the drawings.

[0040] Refer to Figures 7 and 8. Figures 7 and 8 show the storage device 10A according to Embodiment 2. Figure 7 corresponds to Figure 2 above. Figure 8 corresponds to Figure 3 above.

[0041] In the storage device 10A according to Example 2, the shape of the rib 25A formed on the storage section 20A is different from that of the storage device according to Example 1 (Figure 2, reference numeral 10). The configuration of the hinge member 30 is the same. Other basic components are the same as those of the storage device according to Embodiment 1. Parts common to Embodiment 1 will use the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0042] The rib 25A has a rib extension 25Aa that extends along the second surface 22b. The contact surface 43 of the fixing part 40 is in contact with the rib extension 25Aa. In other words, the fixing part 40 is bent from the tip of the side plate part 42 and has a contact surface 43 that is in contact with the storage part 20A.

[0043] <Example 3> Next, Example 3 will be described based on the drawings.

[0044] Refer to Figures 9 and 10. Figures 9 and 10 show the storage device 10B according to Embodiment 2. Figure 9 corresponds to Figure 2 above. Figure 10 corresponds to Figure 3 above.

[0045] In the storage device 10B according to Embodiment 3, the shape of the rib 25B formed on the storage section 20B differs from that of the storage device according to Embodiment 1 (Figure 2, reference numeral 10). Also, the side plate section 42B has a slit section 42Ba (see Figure 10 in particular) formed in a slit shape into which the rib 25B is inserted. Other basic configurations are the same as those of the storage device according to Embodiment 1. For parts common to Embodiment 1, the same reference numerals are used and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0046] The rib 25B has a rib projection 25Ba that extends along the second surface portion 22b and protrudes toward the side plate portion 42B. The rib projection 25Ba is inserted into the slit portion 42Ba of the side plate portion 42B. The tip of the rib projection 25Ba is in contact with the second contact surface portion 43B.

[0047] <Example 4> Next, Example 4 will be described based on the drawings.

[0048] Refer to Figures 11 and 12. Figures 11 and 12 show the storage device 10C according to Embodiment 4.

[0049] In the storage device 10C according to Embodiment 4, the position of the fixing part 40 relative to the storage part 20 is slightly different from the storage device according to Embodiment 1 (Figure 2, reference numeral 10). Also, the direction in which the protruding part 54C protrudes is different. Other basic configurations are the same as the storage device according to Embodiment 1. For parts common with Embodiment 1, the reference numerals are reused and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0050] As shown in Figure 12, the contact surfaces 43, 43 are provided with a slight gap between them and the storage section 20. When an external load is transmitted to the fixing section 40 and the fixing section 40 is displaced, the contact surfaces 43, 43 come into contact with the storage section 20.

[0051] As shown in Figure 11, the mounting portion contact portion 47 is provided with a slight gap between it and the hinge mounting portion 23 (storage portion 20). When an external load is transmitted to the fixing portion 40 and the fixing portion 40 is displaced, the mounting portion contact portion 47 comes into contact with the storage portion 20.

[0052] The protruding portion 54C projects approximately radially with respect to the axis CL.

[0053] <Example 5> Next, Example 5 will be described based on the drawings.

[0054] Refer to Figure 13. Figure 13 shows the storage device 10D according to Example 5.

[0055] In the storage device 10D according to Example 5, the shape of the contact surface portion 43D differs from that of the storage device according to Example 1 (Figure 2, reference numeral 10). Other basic configurations are the same as those of the storage device according to Example 1. For parts common to Example 1, the same reference numerals are used, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0056] The contact surface portion 43D has two contact projections 43Da that protrude toward the storage portion 20. The contact projections 43Da extend in the left-right direction along the rear surface of the storage portion 20. The contact projections 43Da are in contact with the storage portion 20, or they come into contact when the contact surface portion 43D is displaced forward. The entirety or a part of the contact projections 43Da come into contact with the storage portion 20.

[0057] The hinge members 30, 30B and storage devices 10, 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D described above are summarized below.

[0058] Refer to Figure 3. Firstly, the hinge member 30 has a fixing part 40 that is fixed to the storage section 20 for storing luggage, and a swing part 50 that is swingably attached to the fixing part 40 and capable of supporting a lid 60 for opening and closing the opening of the storage section 20. The fixing part 40 has a fixing surface part 41 that is fixed to the storage section 20, and side plate parts 42 that extend from the fixing surface part 41 along the outer peripheral surface 22 of the storage section 20 and sandwich the outer peripheral surface 22. The same applies to the hinge member 30B.

[0059] A side plate portion 42 extends along the outer circumferential surface 22 from a fixed surface portion 41 that is fixed to the outer circumferential surface 22. This increases the bending and torsional rigidity of the fixed surface portion 41, thereby increasing the strength of the hinge member 30. A hinge member 30 with high strength can be provided.

[0060] Refer to Figure 5. Secondly, the first hinge member 30 has a fixed portion 40 which has a rack portion 44 formed in a rack shape along the trajectory of the swing portion 50. Refer to Figure 4 as well. The swing portion 50 has a damper housing portion 53 which rotatably houses a damper 33, and the damper housing portion 53 houses a damper 33 which is movable along the rack portion 44 and generates damping force. The same applies to the hinge member 30B.

[0061] Because a high-strength fixing part 40 is attached to the storage part 20, rattling of the hinge member 30 relative to the storage part 20 can be suppressed. By forming a rack part 44 on such a fixing part 40, the damper 33 can be operated stably. Furthermore, by forming the damper storage part 53 on the swing part 50 and providing the damper 33 and the swing part 50 as an integrated unit, they can be made more compact.

[0062] Refer only to Figure 5. Thirdly, in the first or second hinge member 30, the swing portion 50 has a projection 54 that protrudes toward the fixed portion 40. The fixed portion 40 is also capable of contacting the projection 54 and has a stopper portion 46 that defines the amount of swing of the swing portion 50. By forming the stopper portion 46 on the fixed portion 40, the number of parts can be reduced and the strength of the stopper portion 46 can be ensured. The same applies to the hinge member 30B. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, the same effect can be obtained even if there is a projection 54C that protrudes in a direction away from the axis CL which is the center of the swing.

[0063] Refer to Figure 2. Fourth, in any of the first to third hinge members 30, the fixing portion 40 is curved from the tip of the side plate portion 42 along the storage portion 20 and has a contact surface portion 43 that abuts against the storage portion 20. When the lid 60 (see Figure 1) is swung, the load applied to the hinge member 30 in the swing direction (rotation direction) can be received over a wider area of ​​the storage portion 20. This prevents a large load from being applied to a part of the storage portion 20. The same applies to hinge member 30B.

[0064] Refer to Figure 5. Fifth, the hinge member 30 is one of the first to fourth, and the fixing portion 40 has a mounting portion contact portion 47 that abuts against and is supported by the hinge mounting portion 23. When the lid 60 (see Figure 1) is swung, the load applied to the hinge member 30 in the swing direction (rotation direction) can be received over a wider area of ​​the storage portion 20. This can prevent a large load from being applied to a part of the storage portion 20. The same applies to the hinge member 30B. Also, as shown in Figure 11, if the fixing portion 40 is provided so as to be able to abut against the mounting portion contact portion 47, when a large force is applied from the swing portion 50, the fixing portion 40 abuts against the mounting portion contact portion 47, allowing the load to be received over a wider area of ​​the storage portion 20.

[0065] Refer to Figure 1. Sixth, the storage device 10 includes a storage section 20 capable of storing luggage and having one side open, a hinge member 30 attached to the storage section 20, and a lid 60 supported by the hinge member 30 and provided to swing open and close the opening. The hinge member 30 is as described above. The same applies to storage devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D.

[0066] Refer to Figure 2. A side plate portion 42 extends along the outer circumferential surface 22 from a fixed surface portion 41 that is fixed to the outer circumferential surface 22. The bending and torsional rigidity of the fixed surface portion 41 can be increased, thereby increasing the strength of the hinge member 30. By using a high-strength hinge member 30, the lid 60 (see Figure 1) can be operated stably, and the marketability of the storage device 10 can be improved.

[0067] Refer to Figure 2. Seventh, the sixth storage device 10, the storage section 20 has first surfaces 22a, 22a provided substantially parallel to each other, second surfaces 22b, 22b provided so as to approach each other from one end of the first surfaces 22a, 22a, third surfaces 22c, 22c provided so as to move away from the first surfaces 22a, 22a with respect to the tips of the second surfaces 22b, 22b, and a fourth surface 22d connecting the tips of the third surfaces 22c, 22c. The outer peripheral surface 22 sandwiched by the side plate portion 42 of the hinge member 30 is the third surface portion 22c. In particular, it is preferable that the pair of side plate portions 42, 42 fit within the width of the first surfaces 22a, 22a. The same applies to storage devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D.

[0068] The third panel 22c, which is narrower than the first panel 22a, is sandwiched between the side panels 42. Because the third panel 22c is narrow, the storage section 20 can be made more compact.

[0069] Refer only to Figure 5. Eighth, in either the sixth or seventh storage device 10, the swing portion 50 has a protruding portion 54 that protrudes toward the fixed portion 40. The fixed portion 40 is also capable of contacting the protruding portion 54 and has a stopper portion 46 that defines the amount of swing of the swing portion 50. By forming the stopper portion 46 on the fixed portion 40, the number of parts can be reduced and the strength of the stopper portion 46 can be ensured. The same applies to storage devices 10A, 10B, and 10D. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, the same effect can be obtained with storage device 10C which has a protruding portion 54C that protrudes away from the axis CL which is the center of the swing.

[0070] Ninthly, in any of the sixth to eighth storage devices 10, the fixing portion 40 is curved from the tip of the side plate portion 42 along the storage portion 20 and has a contact surface portion 43 that abuts against the storage portion 20. When the lid 60 (see Figure 1) is swung, the load applied to the hinge member 30 can be received over a wider area of ​​the storage portion 20. This can suppress the application of a large load to a part of the storage portion 20. The same applies to storage devices 10A, 10B, and 10D. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12, the same effect can be obtained with storage device 10C in which the contact surface portion 43 is provided so as to be able to abut against the storage portion 20.

[0071] Tenth, in any of the sixth to ninth storage devices 10, the fixing part 40 has a mounting part contact part 47 that abuts against and is supported by the hinge mounting part 23. When the lid 60 (see Figure 1) is swung, the load applied to the hinge member 30 in the swing direction (rotation direction) can be received over a wider area of ​​the storage device 20. This can suppress the application of a large load to a part of the storage device 20. The same applies to storage devices 10A, 10B, and 10D. Also, as shown in Figure 11, in the storage device 10C in which the fixing part 40 is provided so as to be able to abut against the mounting part contact part 47, when a large force is applied from the swing part 50, the fixing part 40 abuts against the mounting part contact part 47, so that the load can be received over a wider area of ​​the storage device 20.

[0072] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the examples provided, provided that it achieves the functions and effects of the present invention. [Industrial applicability]
