console box

Abstract

This provides a console box that can suppress the reduction in rigidity of the cover due to rattling. [Solution] The box body 12A is provided with end portions 33, 37c that protrude outward. The side panel 40A is provided with restricting portions 44, 47 that abut against the end portions 33, 37c from both sides in the vertical direction, thereby restricting the relative movement of the end portions 33, 37c in the vertical direction. The restricting portions 44, 47 have contact portions 44a, 47a that abut against the end portions 33, 37c, and claw portions 44b, 47b that protrude from the contact portions 44a, 47a and are locked into the locking portions 35, 39 when the end portions 33, 37c and the restricting portions 44, 47 are in contact. The locking portions 35, 39 are configured such that the claw portions 44b, 47b are locked into the locking portions 35, 39, thereby restricting the relative movement of the restricting portions 44, 47 in the outward direction in the vehicle width direction and in the front-rear direction.

Claims

1. A console box comprising a box body and a cover portion attached to the box body and covering a part of the box body from the outside, Either the box body or the cover portion is provided with a protruding wall that projects toward the other, and the other portion is provided with a restricting portion that contacts the protruding wall from both sides in the thickness direction of the protruding wall, thereby restricting the relative movement of the protruding wall in the thickness direction. The restricting portion has a contact portion that protrudes toward the one side and abuts against the protruding wall, and a claw portion that protrudes from the contact portion toward one side in the thickness direction and is engaged with a locking portion provided on the one side when the protruding wall and the restricting portion are in contact. The locking portion is configured such that the claw portion is locked to the locking portion, thereby restricting the relative movement of the restricting portion in the direction of protrusion of the protruding wall and in the intersecting direction that intersects both the thickness direction and the protruding direction. Console box.

2. The locking portion includes an elastic projection that protrudes toward the other at a position adjacent to the protruding wall with a gap between them in the thickness direction, and is configured to allow the contact portion and the claw portion to be inserted into the gap along the protruding direction by elastically deforming toward the side away from the protruding wall in the thickness direction, The elastic projection is further provided with a through hole that penetrates in the thickness direction or a recess that opens toward the protruding wall in the thickness direction. The claw portion is locked to the inner circumferential surface of the through hole or recess when the contact portion and the claw portion are inserted into the gap. The console box according to claim 1.

3. When the aforementioned intersection direction, protrusion direction, and thickness direction are defined as the vehicle's longitudinal direction, vehicle width direction, and vertical direction, and the side away from the center of the box body in the vehicle width direction is considered the outside, The box body has a storage section that opens upward and stores articles, a vertical wall section that protrudes downward from the bottom wall section of the storage section and extends in the front-rear direction, and a horizontal wall section that protrudes outward from the vertical wall section and extends in the front-rear direction. The cover portion covers a part of the storage portion and the vertical wall portion from the outside. The bottom wall, the vertical wall, the horizontal wall, and the cover constitute a duct section having a flow path through which conditioned air supplied from the air conditioning unit flows. At least one of the outer end of the bottom wall portion and the outer end of the side wall portion is the protruding wall. The console box according to claim 1 or claim 2.
