Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an automobile accessory case having a retractable box portion with an open top surface.

Generally, in automobiles such as passenger cars, a rear shelf is often provided above a trunk space located behind a rear seat to define a boundary between the trunk room and a vehicle interior. By the way, as shown in FIG. 1, a rectangular opening 2 is provided in a rear shelf 1 of an automobile, and an accessory case formed by a retractable box 3 having an open upper surface is provided in this opening 2. is being considered. In this case, the edge near the top opening of the box part 3 is attached to the frame part 4, and this frame part 4 is fitted into the opening part 2 of the rear shelf 1, and the top opening of this box part 3 is connected to the lid. It is designed to be closed by the body 5 so as to be openable and closable. This lid body 5 is rotatably attached by a pivot 6 attached to one end of the frame portion 4. Also,
An arcuate stopper 7 is fixed to one end of the lid 5, and when the lid 5 is rotated about the pivot 6, the stopper 7 allows the lid 5 to rotate appropriately. It is designed to be held open at an angle.

However, in the case of the structure described above, when the lid body 5 is closed, the stopper 7 is held in a protruding state inside the box part 3 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. For example, when storing a large piece of luggage in the trunk room, the box part 3 hits the stopper 7, making it impossible to retract the box part 3.

This invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an automobile accessory case whose box portion can be freely collapsed even when the lid is closed.

An example of this invention is shown below in Figures 2 and 3.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. In FIGS. 2 and 3, 11 is a rectangular frame, and 12 is an expandable box with an open top. The edge portion of the box portion 12 near the top opening is attached to the frame portion 11.
This frame portion 11 is disposed above the trunk room 13 and is fitted into a rectangular opening 15 of a rear shelf 14 that defines the boundary between the trunk room 13 and the vehicle interior. Further, supports 16, 16 are provided at opposing positions approximately in the center of both sides of the frame portion 11.
are provided respectively, and this frame portion 1
At one end of 1 there is a pair of hinges (pivotal parts) 17, 1.
7 fixed parts are attached. One end portion of a lid 18 that covers the top opening of the box portion 12 is attached to the movable portions of these hinges 17, 17. The lid body 18 is rotatably supported by these hinges 17, 17 around one end of the frame portion 11. Further, support shafts 19, 19 are provided on the inner surfaces of both sides of the lid body 18 at positions facing each other. These support shafts 19, 19 are connected to the lid body 1.
It is provided at a location closer to the center of rotation of the lid 18 than the distance from the center of rotation of the lid 18 to the supports 16, 16. Further, one end portion of a stopper 21 formed by a pair of substantially parallel wire-shaped clamping portions 20, 20 is rotatably attached to these support shafts 19, 19, respectively. Both ends of the clamping parts 20, 20 of this stopper 21 are connected to each other. Further, on the other end side of the stopper 21, a plurality of engaging portions 22 are formed by convex portions that can be engaged with the support body 16. and,
When the lid 18 is opened, one of the engaging portions 22 of the stopper 21 is engaged with the support 16, and in this state, the lid 18 is held open at a predetermined opening angle. In this case, since the stopper 21 is provided with a plurality of engaging portions 22, the opening degree of the lid 18 can be adjusted in several stages. Moreover, this stopper 21 elastically deforms both the clamping parts 20, 20 to expand the supporting body 1.
The engaging portions 22 can be detached from the support body 16, and the lid body 18 can be closed as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. . When the lid body 18 is closed, the stopper 21 is held in a superposed state substantially parallel to the frame portion 11.

Therefore, in the case of the above structure, the lid body 18
When the box part 1 is closed, the stopper 21 is superimposed on the frame part 11 in a substantially parallel state.
2 can be reduced freely. Therefore, even when storing large luggage in the trunk compartment 13, there is no fear that the box part 12 will get in the way.
Ease of use can be improved.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the support body 16, the support shaft 19, and the stopper 21 may each be one set. Furthermore, it goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

As explained above, according to this invention, a pivot part is provided for rotatably attaching the lid body that covers the top opening of the expandable box part to one end of the frame part, and
A support shaft is provided on the side of the lid at a location closer to the center of rotation of the lid than the distance from the center of rotation of the lid to the support provided on the side of the frame. The lid is held open at a predetermined angle by engaging the engaging part of the movably mounted stopper with the support, and the engaging part is removed from the support by elastic deformation of the stopper to close the lid. Since the stopper is arranged so as to be superimposed on the frame section in a substantially parallel state, the box section can be freely retracted when the lid body is closed, and ease of use can be improved.
