[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0012] In the diagrams used in the following explanation, the scale of each component is different in order to make each component recognizable on the diagram. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the quantity of components, the shape of components, the ratio of the sizes of components, and the relative positional relationship of each component as shown in these diagrams.

[0013] As an example of a storage box to which the auxiliary storage box in this embodiment is applied, the configuration of a console box will be described. The console box in this embodiment is provided in the center console (not shown). The center console is located in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the console box 1 is composed of a box body 2 and a lid 3.

[0015] Inside the box body 2, a box inner 4 is provided. This box inner 4 is composed of a hollow member having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. An opening 5 for opening the internal space of the box inner 4 upward is provided at the upper part of the box inner 4. Here, a pair of first positioning concave portions 5a are provided at the left and right side edges of the opening 5, respectively. These first positioning concave portions 5a are constituted by, for example, concave portions having a rectangular shape in plan view that are respectively recessed in the left and right side edges of the box body 2. Further, a pair of second positioning concave portions 5b are provided at the front edge of the opening 5. These second positioning concave portions 5b are constituted by, for example, U-shaped grooves extending from the front edge of the box body 2, respectively.

[0016] The lid body 3 is provided at the upper part of the box body 2 at a position where the opening 5 can be opened and closed.

[0017] The lid body 3 is composed of a lid outer 6, a lid inner 7, and a lock portion 8.

[0018] The lid outer 6 is constituted by, for example, a resin member having elasticity. Thereby, the lid body 3 also functions as an armrest on which the arm of an occupant can be placed.

[0019] This lid outer 6 is integrally fixed to the lid inner 7 by screws 9 or the like.

[0020] The lid inner 7 has a concave portion 7a having a rectangular shape in plan view. The outer dimensions of the concave portion 7a in plan view are set to be slightly larger than the outer dimensions of the bottom surface of the box tissue, for example.

[0021] For each surface of the box tissue, for the sake of convenience, it is defined as follows.

[0022] That is, the surface on which the tissue outlet of the box tissue is provided is defined as the upper surface, and the surface facing the upper surface is defined as the bottom surface.

[0023] Furthermore, the inner cover 7 has a support portion 32 and a slit 33.

[0024] The support portions 32 are provided in pairs on the wall portion that forms the recess 7a at the rear of the inner cover 7. Each support portion 32 has a pair of projections 32a and a shaft portion 32b supported between the pair of projections 32a. These support portions 32 are capable of pivotably supporting the auxiliary cover 15, which will be described later.

[0025] The slits 33 are provided in pairs on the surface of the inner lid 7 that faces the box body 2 in front of the recess 7a, and at a position facing the opening 5. Each of these slits 33 has a hole-like shape for inserting and fixing a projection. These slits 33 allow the auxiliary lid 15, which will be described later, to be detachably fixed to the inner lid 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the inner lid 7 is supported by the box body 2 via a hinge (not shown) provided at its rear end. This allows the lid 3 to swing freely around the rear end of the box body 2 as a pivot point. This swinging motion allows the lid 3 to be displaced between a closed position that closes the opening 5 of the box body 2 and an open position that opens the opening 5 of the box body 2. The open position of the lid 3 relative to the box body 2 is defined by the arm stopper 29.

[0027] The locking mechanism 8 is provided at the front end of the inner lid 7. This locking mechanism 8 integrally includes a hook 8a and a lever 8b.

[0028] The hook 8a is inserted into the hole 10 provided in the box body 2 when the lid 3 closes the opening 5. The hook 8a inserted into the hole 10 in the box body 2 is then locked into the locking part 11. The hook 8a is biased towards the locking part 11 by a biasing force such as a spring (not shown) provided inside the locking part 8.

[0029] The lever 8b is pulled up when the opening 5 is opened by the cover 3. This mechanism allows the lever 8b to release the hook 8a from the locking portion 11.

[0030] Inside the console box 1 configured in this way, an auxiliary storage box 13 for storing items is housed (see Figures 2 and 3).

[0031] The auxiliary storage box 13 can be detachably attached to the console box 1. As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 7, the auxiliary storage box 13 is composed of an auxiliary box body 14 and an auxiliary lid 15.

[0032] The auxiliary box body 14 has a hollow, elongated, roughly rectangular shape that can be housed inside the box body 2 (box inner 4).

[0033] An opening 19 is formed at the top of the auxiliary box body 14 to provide access to the internal space. Furthermore, a flat surface is formed at the lower end of the auxiliary box body 14 to allow it to stand on its own.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the auxiliary box body 14 has an outward flange 16, a fixing part 17, and a support part 18.

[0035] The outward-facing flange 16 is composed of a first outward-facing flange 16a and a second outward-facing flange 16b. The first outward-facing flange 16a is provided on the outer circumference of the opening 19 formed in the upper part of the auxiliary box body 14. The first outward-facing flange 16a is formed to face outward relative to the side wall 20 of the auxiliary box body 14.

[0036] The second outward-facing flange 16b is connected to the first outward-facing flange 16a in a stepped manner via a wall portion 16c. Specifically, upward-extending wall portions 16c are formed on the front edge and left and right side edges of the first outward-facing flange 16a. At the upper end of this wall portion 16c, the second outward-facing flange 16b is formed facing outward relative to the wall portion 16c.

[0037] Furthermore, the surfaces (top surfaces) of the first outward flange 16a and the second outward flange 16b, which constitute the outward flange 16, are planar in shape. Therefore, the outward flange 16 functions as a lid receiving portion that abuts against the auxiliary lid 15, which will be described later.

[0038] The fixing portion 17 includes a first fixing portion 17a and a second fixing portion 17b.

[0039] The first fixing portion 17a is composed of a pair of protrusions on the left and right sides of the auxiliary box body 14. These first fixing portions 17a are integrally formed with the outward flange 16 at positions corresponding to each of the first positioning recesses 5a. A pair of holes 12 are formed on the upper surface of each of these first fixing portions 17a.

[0040] The second fixing portion 17b is composed of a pair of protrusions provided at the front end of the opening 19. These second fixing portions 17b are, for example, composed of U-shaped grooves extending from the front end of the opening 19 at positions corresponding to the second positioning recesses 5b.

[0041] The fixing portion 17 configured in this way is fitted into the first and second positioning recesses 5a and 5b of the box body 2 when the auxiliary box body 14 is stored in the box body 2. That is, each first fixing portion 17a is fitted into the corresponding first positioning recess 5a. Similarly, each second fixing portion 17b is fitted into the corresponding second positioning recess 5b. Through these fittings, the auxiliary box body 14 is positioned in a predetermined location relative to the box body 2.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4, the support portion 18 is provided in pairs on the first outward flange 16a at the rear of the auxiliary box body 14. The distance between these pairs of support portions 18 is set to be equal to the distance between the pair of support portions 32 provided on the lid inner 7. Each support portion 18 has a pair of projections 18a provided on the first outward flange 16a and a shaft portion 18b supported between the pair of projections 18a. These support portions 18 are capable of pivotably supporting the auxiliary lid 15, which will be described later.

[0043] The auxiliary cover 15 can be detachably attached to the cover 3 (see Figures 2 and 3). When attached to the cover 3, the auxiliary cover 15 swings integrally with the cover 3, thereby enabling the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14 to be opened and closed.

[0044] Furthermore, the auxiliary cover 15 can be detachably attached to the auxiliary box body 14 (see Figures 7 and 8). The auxiliary cover 15 can then swing relative to the auxiliary box body 14, thereby opening and closing the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14.

[0045] The auxiliary cover 15 has a flat plate portion 22, a side wall portion 24, and an outward-facing flange 23.

[0046] The flat plate portion 22 has a roughly rectangular shape in plan view, capable of closing the opening 19 by contacting, for example, the first outward flange 16a of the auxiliary box body 14. The external dimensions of the flat plate portion 22 in plan view are roughly equal to or greater than the external dimensions of the opening 19. Furthermore, the external dimensions of the flat plate portion 22 in plan view are less than the external dimensions of the first outward flange 16a. In addition, the external dimensions of the flat plate portion 22 in plan view are roughly equal to the external diameter of the bottom surface of the tissue box.

[0047] Furthermore, the flat plate portion 22 has a hole portion 30. The hole portion 30 is formed in the approximate center of the flat plate portion 22 and has a rounded rectangular shape. The hole portion 30 is provided, for example, as an opening for dispensing tissues or the like.

[0048] Furthermore, a sealing member 27 is provided on the first surface 22a, which is one of the surfaces of the flat plate portion 22.

[0049] The sealing member 27 is provided in an annular shape along the outer circumference of the first surface 22a. This sealing member 27 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The sealing member 27 is adhered to the first surface 22a by adhesive means such as double-sided tape.

[0050] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the sealing member 27 bonded to the first surface 22a is elastically able to contact the surface of the first outward flange 16a when the flat plate portion 22 closes the opening 19. This contact of the sealing member 27 allows the flat plate portion 22 to seal the outer periphery of the opening 19.

[0051] The side wall portion 24 protrudes in an annular shape from the edge of the second surface 22b, which is the surface opposite to the first surface 22a of the flat plate portion 22.

[0052] A pair of mounting portions 25 protrude from the rear of the side wall portion 24. The spacing between these mounting portions 25 is set to be equal to the spacing between a pair of support portions 32 provided on the lid inner 7 and the spacing between a pair of support portions 18 provided on the auxiliary box body 14. An arc-shaped locking groove (not shown) is formed at the protruding end of each mounting portion 25.

[0053] The pair of mounting parts 25 configured in this way can be selectively attached to either the pair of support parts 32 or the pair of support parts 18. That is, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, when the second surface 22b of the flat plate part 22 is facing the lid 3 (lid inner 7), the pair of mounting parts 25 can be attached to the pair of support parts 32. Alternatively, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, when the second surface 22b of the flat plate part 22 is facing the auxiliary box body 14, the pair of mounting parts 25 can be attached to the pair of support parts 18.

[0054] Such mounting is achieved by engaging the locking groove with the shaft portion 32b or shaft portion 18b. This engagement is performed by pushing the shaft portion 32b or shaft portion 18b into the locking groove while elastically deforming the locking groove. For this reason, the opening of the locking groove is set to be smaller than the diameter of the shaft portion 32b and shaft portion 18b.

[0055] The outward-facing flange 23 extends outward from a position midway in the height direction of the side wall portion 24. The plan view shape of this outward-facing flange 23 substantially matches the plan view shape of the second outward-facing flange 16b of the auxiliary box body 14. This outward-facing flange 23 is capable of contacting the surface around the recess 7a in the lid inner 7 and the second outward-facing flange 16b.

[0056] The outward-facing flange 23 has a pair of fixing parts 26 at its front. Each fixing part 26 protrudes from the second surface of the outward-facing flange 23 (i.e., the same side as the second surface 22b of the flat plate portion 22). The spacing between these pairs of fixing parts 26 is set to be equal to the spacing between a pair of slits 33 provided in the lid inner 7 and the spacing between a pair of second fixing parts 17b provided in the auxiliary box body 14. Each fixing part 26 has a roughly rounded projection at its tip. The projection of each fixing part 26 can be inserted into each of the slits 33 by pushing. The inserted fixing part 26 is held in place by the slits 33. Alternatively, with the second surface 22b side facing the auxiliary box body 14, the projection of each fixing part 26 can be accommodated in a position where it does not contact the pair of U-shaped second fixing parts 17b.

[0057] Next, we will explain the function of the auxiliary storage box 13 configured in this way.

[0058] First, we will explain how the auxiliary storage box 13 (auxiliary box body 14 and auxiliary lid 15) works when it is stored inside the console box 1.

[0059] When the auxiliary box body 14 is stored in the box inner 4, the fixing parts 17a and 17b of the auxiliary box body 14 are fitted into the positioning recesses 5a and 5b of the box inner 4.

[0060] These fittings uniquely determine the storage position of the auxiliary box body 14 relative to the box inner 4. Therefore, the auxiliary box body 14 can be accurately positioned relative to the box body 2 and easily stored.

[0061] On the other hand, the auxiliary cover 15 can be detachably attached to the fixing portion 32 of the cover inner 7 via the mounting portion 25. Furthermore, when the auxiliary cover 15 is attached to the cover inner 7, it can swing about the shaft portion 32b of the fixing portion 32 as an axis. In addition, the fixing portion 26 of the auxiliary cover 15 can be detachably fixed to the slit 33.

[0062] Furthermore, the auxiliary cover 15, which is fixed to the cover 3 in this manner, can swing integrally with the cover 3.

[0063] Furthermore, the auxiliary lid 15 fixed to the lid 3 forms a first tissue storage section 31 in the internal space with the recess 7a of the lid inner 7, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

[0064] The first tissue storage section 31 can store, for example, a box containing tissues (hereinafter referred to as a tissue box 50).

[0065] Specifically, with the auxiliary lid 15 open relative to the lid 3, a box of tissues 50 can be stored in the first tissue storage section 31.

[0066] More specifically, the tissue box 50 can be attached to the upper side of the second surface 22b with the opening surface of the tissue dispenser facing the hole 30. By storing the tissue box 50 in this way, when the lid 3 opens the opening 19, tissues can be easily removed from the first surface 22a side of the hole 30.

[0067] Furthermore, the auxiliary lid 15 can be easily opened and closed relative to the lid 3 using the shaft portion 32b as a pivot. This makes it easy to replace the box of tissues 50 stored in the first tissue storage section 31.

[0068] Furthermore, by allowing the auxiliary cover 15 to swing integrally with the cover 3, users can easily access the hole 30 and the opening 19 with a single opening and closing motion of the cover 3.

[0069] This allows, for example, when the auxiliary box body 14 is used as a trash can, to access both the tissue dispenser and the trash can with a single opening and closing motion.

[0070] The tissue boxes 50 stored in this manner and the trash can are positioned close to each other. This allows used tissues to be easily disposed of in the trash can.

[0071] With the auxiliary box body 14 and auxiliary lid 15 configured in this way, the auxiliary storage box 13 can be made more convenient to use.

[0072] Furthermore, the sealing member 27 provided on the first surface 22a of the auxiliary cover 15 elastically contacts the surface of the first outward flange 16a when the auxiliary cover 15 integrally closes the opening 19 with the cover 3. This contact of the sealing member 27 allows the auxiliary cover 15 to seal the outer periphery of the opening 19.

[0073] Therefore, for example, when the auxiliary box body 14 is used as a trash can, it is possible to prevent trash from scattering from the auxiliary storage box 13, thereby achieving high functionality in the vehicle interior from a hygienic standpoint.

[0074] Next, referring to Figures 4, 7, and 8, we will explain the operation of the auxiliary storage box 13 (auxiliary box body 14 and auxiliary lid 15) when it is removed from the console box 1 and used outdoors.

[0075] The lower end of the auxiliary box body 14 has a flat surface. Therefore, the auxiliary box body 14 can stand on its own, even when used outdoors.

[0076] The auxiliary cover 15 can be attached to the auxiliary box body 14 when it is removed from the cover inner 7 for outdoor use. Specifically, the auxiliary cover 15 can be attached to the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14 with its second surface 22b facing it.

[0077] The auxiliary cover 15, attached in this manner, is held to the shaft portion 18b of the auxiliary box body 14 so as to be able to swing freely via the mounting portion 25. When the auxiliary cover 15 swings and closes the opening 19, the outward flange 23 of the auxiliary cover 15 comes into contact with the upper surface of the second outward flange 16b. When the auxiliary cover 15 closes the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14 in this way, the space formed between the second surface 22b of the auxiliary cover 15 and the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14 can be used as a second tissue storage section 34 (see Figure 7).

[0078] In other words, the second tissue storage section 34 can store, for example, a box of tissues 50. Specifically, the second tissue storage section 34 can store a box of tissues 50 when the auxiliary lid 15 is in a state where the opening 19 is open. It is preferable that the box of tissues 50 be placed with the surface of the tissue dispensing opening facing the hole 30.

[0079] The tissue box 50 stored in this manner can be held in the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14 by bringing the edge of the bottom surface of the tissue box 50 into contact with the first outward flange 16a. With the tissue box 50 stored in this manner, tissues can be easily removed from the first surface 22a of the hole 30.

[0080] Furthermore, when the auxiliary box body 14 is used as a trash can, a box of tissues 50 can be stored in the upper part of the auxiliary box body 14. The auxiliary storage box 13 configured in this way can be carried outdoors with the box of tissues 50 stored inside, thus further improving convenience.

[0081] According to this embodiment, the auxiliary storage box 13 is housed inside a console box 1 which has a box body 2 and a lid 3, and is a detachable auxiliary storage box 13 relative to the console box 1, comprising: a detachable auxiliary box body 14 housed inside the box body 2; an auxiliary lid 15 which is detachably held on the back side of the lid 3 such that its first surface 22a faces the auxiliary box body 14, and which closes the opening 19 of the auxiliary box body 14 when the lid 3 closes the box body 2; an outward-facing flange 16 formed on the opening 19 at the top of the auxiliary box body 14; and a sealing member 27 provided on the first surface 22a of the auxiliary lid 15 which elastically contacts the outward-facing flange 16 when the auxiliary lid 15 closes the opening 19 to seal the opening 19. With these configurations, the auxiliary storage box can achieve high functionality even when used as a trash can.

[0082] In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the auxiliary lid 15 is used as a tissue storage section, but it may also be used as a storage section for articles or other items by covering the tissue dispensing hole 30.

[0083] Furthermore, although this embodiment describes an example of application to a console box, it may also be applied to other storage compartments such as a glove box.

[0084] The inventions described in the above embodiments are not limited to those forms, and various modifications can be made in the implementation stage without departing from the gist of the invention. Furthermore, the above embodiments include inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriate combinations of the multiple constituent elements disclosed.

[0085] Furthermore, if the problems described can be solved and the effects described can be obtained even if some of the constituent elements shown in the above-described embodiments are deleted, then the configuration with these deleted constituent elements can be extracted as an invention.
