2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional opening / closing device of this type, an actual flat opening 4
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 67547. The conventional opening / closing device is intended for a glove box of an automobile, and has a hook member provided on the instrument panel side for engaging and disengaging the striker, and a spring member for constantly urging the hook member in the striker direction. An operation member for retracting the hook member against the biasing force of the spring member is provided.

In the actual use, when the glove box in a closed state is opened, the operating member is operated to retract the hook member against its urging force, and the hook member comes off the striker. Therefore, this allows the glove box to move in the opening direction, and conversely, when closing the glove box in the open state, when moving the glove box in the closing direction, the hook member moves to the striker. After colliding, once retracting, it will be locked to the striker again.
The glove box will be locked in the closed position.

Therefore, the conventional opening / closing device has the advantage of being able to open and close the glove box with a relatively simple structure, but the opening / closing device itself is the center of the front side of the glove box. Since the glove box is provided only at one place, the locking strength of the glove box is insufficient and both sides of the glove box in the closed state may be distorted or tilted.

However, in the locked state of the box body B, as in the conventional case, the number of the opening / closing device itself is one, but in the present embodiment, it extends in the front width direction of the box body B. When a pair of hook members 4 are provided on both upper sides of the slide member 2 formed to have a size, when the slide member 2 is moved upward by the spring pressure of the compression coil spring 3, each of the slide members 2 provided on the slide member 2 is moved upward. Since the hook members 4 are individually locked to the corresponding two strikers 12 to lock the box body B at the closed position, the locked state becomes stronger than the conventional one. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, there is no possibility that the both sides of the box body B are distorted or tilted due to insufficient locking force.

When the box body B is moved from the closed position to the open position, this time, the operating member 8 is moved.
When the vertical piece 8b is pulled up, the horizontal piece 8a fitted in the connecting hole 9 of the slide member 2 swings downward as shown in FIG. Each hook member 4 is moved downwards against the spring pressure.
Is disengaged from the striker 12 and sunk into the guide hole 6 of the cover 5. Therefore, if the box body B is pulled out toward this side in this state, the box body B can be pulled out to the open position. .

On the contrary, the box body B in this open position
In order to push back the box body to the closed position, if the box body B is pushed into the space Pa of the instrument panel P as it is, the tip taper surface 4a of the hook member 4 protruding upward collides with the corresponding striker 12 from the front side. While moving down, the slide member 2 is moved downward against the spring pressure of the compression coil spring 3, and after passing through the striker 12, the slide member 2 is moved upward by the spring pressure of the compression coil spring 3 again. Then, the hook members 4 provided on both sides of the upper portion are locked to the corresponding strikers 12, so that the closed state shown in FIG. 3 can be easily obtained.

In the present embodiment, the pair of hook members 4 are provided on both sides of the upper portion of the slide member 2 at regular intervals, but as shown in FIG. If the member 4 is configured to be continuous, the rigidity of the hook member 4 is increased, so that the locked state of the box body B is further strengthened.
