JP-A-8-175272

ところで、コンソールリッド７０を開放した場合に、操作部２２が付勢手段の付勢力によって前方に移動して、第１係合部５２が第２係合部５４と係合可能な位置に変位していると、図１３に示す如く、コンソールリッド７０を閉成する際に(図１３(ａ)参照)、第１係合部５２の下端部と第２係合部５４の上端部が接触することになる(図１３(ｂ)参照)。この接触によって第１係合部５２(操作部２２)には、コンソールリッド７０の後側を指向する力Ｆが発生する。この力Ｆとコンソールリッド７０を閉成しようとする下向きの力とによって、第１係合部５２は後方に退避しながら、コンソールリッド７０が更にコンソール本体１０に接近することになる。そして、コンソールリッド７０が閉成されて、第１係合部５２と第２係合部５４とが係合可能な位置関係となると(図１３(ｃ)参照)、操作部２２に対する付勢手段の作用により、第１係合部５２が前方へ移動して両係合部５２,５４が係合する(図１３(ｄ)参照)。すなわち、コンソールリッド７０の閉成操作による第１係合部５２と第２係合部５４との接触とスプリング５６の働きとにより、第１の係合手段５０が係合状態となり、コンソールリッド７０が閉成状態に保持されることになる。   By the way, when the console lid 70 is opened, the operation portion 22 moves forward by the urging force of the urging means, and the first engagement portion 52 is displaced to a position where it can engage with the second engagement portion 54. 13, when the console lid 70 is closed (see FIG. 13A), the lower end portion of the first engaging portion 52 and the upper end portion of the second engaging portion 54 come into contact with each other. (Refer to FIG. 13B). Due to this contact, a force F directed to the rear side of the console lid 70 is generated in the first engaging portion 52 (operation portion 22). Due to this force F and the downward force to close the console lid 70, the console lid 70 further approaches the console body 10 while the first engagement portion 52 is retracted rearward. Then, when the console lid 70 is closed and the first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54 are engaged with each other (see FIG. 13C), the biasing means for the operation portion 22 is provided. As a result, the first engaging portion 52 moves forward and the engaging portions 52 and 54 engage (see FIG. 13D). That is, the first engagement means 50 is engaged by the contact between the first engagement portion 52 and the second engagement portion 54 by the closing operation of the console lid 70 and the action of the spring 56, so that the console lid 70 is engaged. Will be kept closed.

しかしこのような構成では、コンソールリッド７０の閉成に際して、第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４において、第１係合部５２の下端部と第２係合部５４の上端部とが接触してしまう。このような接触は、接触音等の異音や、第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４に対する物理的なダメージを発生させて、車両内装部材の高級感を損ない商品性を低下させる。更に商品性を向上させるために、各種部材に着色またはメッキを施すことがあるが、このような着色またはメッキは前述の接触によって剥がれてしまう。このため、商品性の向上等を目的としたメッキ処理等の実施は不可能であった。   However, in such a configuration, when the console lid 70 is closed, in the first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54, the lower end portion of the first engaging portion 52 and the upper end portion of the second engaging portion 54 are Will come into contact. Such contact causes abnormal noise such as contact sound and physical damage to the first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54, thereby deteriorating the high-grade feeling of the vehicle interior member and reducing the merchantability. . Further, various members may be colored or plated in order to improve the merchantability, but such coloring or plating is peeled off by the aforementioned contact. For this reason, it is impossible to carry out a plating process for the purpose of improving the merchantability.

また操作部２２は、後方に押込み可能なように常に前方に付勢された状態で収納空間２９に取り付けられているに過ぎない。従って、操作部２２が前後方向以外の上下方向等に動くことがある。この場合、操作部２２が、収納空間２９を画成するカバー部材２８と接触して異音を発生させ、商品性の低下を招く問題もある。   Moreover, the operation part 22 is only attached to the storage space 29 in a state of being always urged forward so that it can be pushed backward. Accordingly, the operation unit 22 may move in the vertical direction other than the front-rear direction. In this case, there is also a problem that the operation unit 22 comes into contact with the cover member 28 that defines the storage space 29 to generate an abnormal noise, resulting in a decrease in merchantability.

この発明は、従来技術に係る前記問題に鑑み、これを好適に解決するべく提案されたものであって、開閉部材の閉成時における異音の発生や、各部材の損傷を防止し、またメッキ処理等を施して商品性を高め得る内装部材を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve the above-described problems related to the prior art, and prevents the generation of abnormal noise and the damage of each member when the opening and closing member is closed.

そしてコンソール本体１０の前部上面には、リッド２０を閉成した際に、操作部２２に設けた第１係合部５２と係合する第２係合部５４が設けられている。この第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４は、係脱可能な第１の係合手段５０を構成し、第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４が係合することでリッド２０が閉成状態に保持される。すなわち、第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４が係合することで、第１の係合手段５０が係合状態になってリッド２０が閉成状態に保持される。また、第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４の係合が解除されることで、第１の係合手段５０の係合状態が解除された係合解除状態となり、リッド２０の開放が許容される。なお、従来技術と同様に、第１係合部５２と第２係合部５４とが係合した際に相互に当接する部位を、夫々第１係合当接部５２ａおよび第２係合当接部５４ａと呼称する。また、第１係合部５２の下端部におけるコンソールリッド７０の前後に沿った断面形状は下方に向けて突出した略半円状であり、第２係合部５４の上端部におけるコンソールリッド７０の前後に沿った断面形状は上方に向けて突出した略半円状である。   A second engagement portion 54 that engages with the first engagement portion 52 provided in the operation portion 22 when the lid 20 is closed is provided on the upper surface of the front portion of the console body 10. The first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54 constitute a first engaging means 50 that can be engaged and disengaged, and the first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54 are engaged with each other. The lid 20 is held in the closed state. That is, when the first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54 are engaged, the first engaging means 50 is engaged and the lid 20 is held in the closed state. Further, by disengaging the first engagement portion 52 and the second engagement portion 54, the engagement state of the first engagement means 50 is released, and the lid 20 is released. Is acceptable. As in the prior art, the portions that contact each other when the first engagement portion 52 and the second engagement portion 54 are engaged are respectively defined as the first engagement contact portion 52a and the second engagement contact portion. This is referred to as a contact portion 54a. The cross-sectional shape along the front and rear of the console lid 70 at the lower end portion of the first engaging portion 52 is a substantially semicircular shape protruding downward, and the console lid 70 at the upper end portion of the second engaging portion 54 The cross-sectional shape along the front and rear is a substantially semicircular shape protruding upward.

この第１の係合手段５０は、係脱可能な第２の係合手段４０によって係合解除状態に保持される。この第２の係合手段４０は、操作部２２に設けられる係合凸部４２,４２と、カバー部材２８に設けられ、係合凸部４２,４２が係合する係合穴部４４,４４とを備える。ここで係合穴部４４,４４は、下壁２８ｂにおいて上下に貫通するように形成された穴であって、操作部２２を後方に押込んで第１の係合手段５０を係合解除状態とした際に、弾性によって変形から復帰した弾性小片２５ｂ,２５ｂに設けられる係合凸部４２,４２と係合するようになっている(図２参照)。この係合穴部４４,４４の開口部形状は、半球状をなす係合凸部４２,４２の上方からの係合を許容する円形とされている。そして上方開口縁部４４ａは、断面Ｒ形状に面取り加工が施されている。また本実施例において係合凸部４２は、弾性片２４の幅方向に離間して、第１係合部５２の両側に位置するように２つ設けられている、また、これに対応して係合穴部４４は、下壁２８ｂの幅方向に離間して、凹部２８ｅの両側に位置するよう２つ設けられている。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、係合凸部４２および係合穴部４４の設置数を係合力の強弱等に応じて変更してもよい。   The first engagement means 50 is held in the disengaged state by the second engagement means 40 that can be engaged and disengaged. The second engaging means 40 includes engaging convex portions 42 and 42 provided on the operation portion 22 and engaging hole portions 44 and 44 provided on the cover member 28 and engaged with the engaging convex portions 42 and 42. With. Here, the engagement hole portions 44, 44 are holes formed so as to penetrate vertically in the lower wall 28b, and the operation portion 22 is pushed backward to bring the first engagement means 50 into the disengaged state. When engaged, it engages with the engaging projections 42, 42 provided on the elastic small pieces 25b, 25b that have been restored from deformation (see FIG. 2). The shape of the opening of the engagement hole portions 44, 44 is a circle that allows engagement from above the engagement convex portions 42, 42 having a hemispherical shape. The upper opening edge 44a is chamfered in a cross-sectional R shape. Further, in the present embodiment, two engaging convex portions 42 are provided so as to be spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the elastic piece 24 and located on both sides of the first engaging portion 52. Two engagement holes 44 are provided so as to be positioned on both sides of the recess 28e, spaced apart in the width direction of the lower wall 28b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of the engagement convex portions 42 and the engagement hole portions 44 may be changed according to the strength of the engagement force.

またリッド２０を閉成した際に、コンソール本体１０の上面において係合凸部４２,４２に対応する位置には、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４の係合を解除する係合解除手段４６,４６が設けられている。この係合解除手段４６は、係合凸部４２を係合穴部４４から押し出し可能な高さで、かつ係合穴部４４内を挿通可能な円柱状に形成されている。すなわち、第１の係合手段５０が係合状態にあり、係合穴部４４,４４に係合凸部４２,４２が係合していないときには、係合解除手段４６,４６が係合穴部４４,４４内に挿入された状態になる(図３参照)。なお、係合解除手段４６,４６の形状は、係合凸部４２,４２と係合穴部４４,４４との係合状態を解除し得るものであれば殊に限定されない。   Further, when the lid 20 is closed, the engagement of the engagement protrusions 42 and 42 and the engagement holes 44 and 44 is released at a position corresponding to the engagement protrusions 42 and 42 on the upper surface of the console body 10. Disengaging means 46, 46 are provided. The disengaging means 46 is formed in a columnar shape having a height at which the engaging convex portion 42 can be pushed out from the engaging hole 44 and can be inserted through the engaging hole 44. That is, when the first engagement means 50 is in the engaged state and the engagement projections 42 and 42 are not engaged with the engagement hole portions 44 and 44, the engagement release means 46 and 46 are engaged with the engagement hole portions 44 and 44, respectively. It will be in the state inserted in the parts 44 and 44 (refer FIG. 3). The shape of the engagement release means 46, 46 is not particularly limited as long as the engagement state between the engagement convex portions 42, 42 and the engagement hole portions 44, 44 can be released.

このように、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４が係合することで、第２の係合手段４０が係合状態になって、第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態に保持される。また、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４の係合が解除されることで、第２の係合手段４０の係合状態が解除された係合解除状態となり、第１の係合手段５０の係合状態への移行が許容される。   As described above, the engagement convex portions 42 and 42 and the engagement hole portions 44 and 44 are engaged, whereby the second engagement means 40 is brought into the engagement state, and the first engagement means 50 is engaged. It is held in the release state. Further, by disengaging the engagement convex portions 42 and 42 and the engagement hole portions 44 and 44, the engagement state of the second engagement means 40 is released, and the first engagement state is released. The engagement means 50 is allowed to shift to the engaged state.

(実施例の作用について)
次に、実施例に係るリッド(開閉部材)の作用について、図５〜図８を参照して説明する。なお、以下の説明において、ロック状態とは、第１の係合手段５０を係合状態として、リッド２０がコンソール本体１０を閉成・保持されたリッド２０の状態を指す。また開放保持状態とは、第２の係合手段４０を係合状態として、第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態に保持されて、リッド２０を開放し得る状態を指す。 (About the operation of the embodiment)
Next, the operation of the lid (opening / closing member) according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the locked state refers to a state of the lid 20 in which the first engaging means 50 is in the engaged state and the lid 20 is closing and holding the console body 10. The open holding state refers to a state in which the second engaging means 40 is in the engaged state, the first engaging means 50 is held in the disengaged state, and the lid 20 can be released.

図５は、ロック状態にあるリッド２０を開放保持状態に移行させて、開放するまでの経過を示す状態図である。ロック状態にあるリッド２０では、第１の係合手段５０の第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４が係合して、リッド２０が開放状態に移行できないように閉成状態に保持されている(図５(ａ)参照)。そして操作部２２をスプリング５６の付勢力に抗して後方へ押込むと、これに伴って第１係合部５２が後方へ移動し、最終的には下壁２８ｂに設けられた凹部２８ｅに受け入れられると共に、第２の係合手段４０の係合凸部４２,４２と係合穴部４４,４４とが係合することになる。この係合によって、第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態に保持され、リッド２０は開放保持状態に移行する(図５(ｂ)参照)。開放保持状態に移行したリッド２０は開放可能な状態となる(図５(ｃ)参照)。すなわち、操作部２２を操作する(後方に押込む)ことで、第１の係合手段５０が係合状態から係合解除状態に移行すると共に、第２の係合手段５０が係合解除状態から係合状態に移行する。   FIG. 5 is a state diagram showing a process until the lid 20 in the locked state shifts to the open holding state and is released. In the lid 20 in the locked state, the first engaging portion 52 and the second engaging portion 54 of the first engaging means 50 are engaged, and the lid 20 is held in a closed state so that the lid 20 cannot shift to the open state. (See FIG. 5A). Then, when the operating portion 22 is pushed backward against the urging force of the spring 56, the first engaging portion 52 moves rearward along with this, and finally the concave portion 28e provided in the lower wall 28b. In addition to being received, the engaging projections 42 and 42 of the second engaging means 40 and the engaging holes 44 and 44 are engaged. By this engagement, the first engaging means 50 is held in the disengaged state, and the lid 20 is shifted to the open holding state (see FIG. 5B). The lid 20 that has shifted to the open holding state becomes openable (see FIG. 5C). That is, by operating the operation unit 22 (pushing backward), the first engaging means 50 shifts from the engaged state to the disengaged state, and the second engaging means 50 is in the disengaged state. To the engaged state.

次に、図５(ａ)から図５(ｂ)に到る途中における係合凸部４２,４２、下壁２８ｂおよび係合解除手段４６の状態を図６を用いて説明する。図５(ａ)から図５(ｂ)に到る途中において係合凸部４２,４２の下端部は、係合凸部４２,４２を設けた弾性小片２５ｂ,２５ｂの弾性変形による下方への付勢作用によって、常に下壁２８ｂの上面と摺接した状態となっている(図６(ａ)参照)。このような摺接状態が発生すると、操作部２２を後方に押込む際に摩擦力が発生する。すなわち、リッド２０の閉成状態に確実に保持し得る作用が期待できる。   Next, the states of the engaging projections 42, 42, the lower wall 28b, and the disengaging means 46 in the middle from FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B will be described with reference to FIG. On the way from FIG. 5 (a) to FIG. 5 (b), the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42, 42 are moved downward by elastic deformation of the elastic pieces 25b, 25b provided with the engaging convex portions 42, 42. Due to the urging action, the state is always in sliding contact with the upper surface of the lower wall 28b (see FIG. 6A). When such a sliding contact state occurs, a frictional force is generated when the operation unit 22 is pushed backward. That is, it is possible to expect an action that can reliably hold the lid 20 in the closed state.

また、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部と下壁２８ｂとが当接した場合に、係合凸部４２,４２を設けた２つの弾性小片２５ｂ,２５ｂだけが弾性変形し、第１係合部５２を設けた弾性小片２５ａは変形しない。従って、操作部２２を後方へ押込む操作によって第１係合部５２が後方へ移動するだけで、第１の係合手段５０が係合状態から係合解除状態へ移行する。   In addition, when the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 are in contact with the lower wall 28b, only the two elastic pieces 25b and 25b provided with the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 are elastically deformed, and the first engagement The elastic piece 25a provided with the joint portion 52 is not deformed. Therefore, the first engaging means 52 shifts from the engaged state to the disengaged state only by moving the first engaging portion 52 backward by pushing the operating portion 22 backward.

そして図６(ａ)で示す状態を超えて操作部２２の押込みがなされると、図６(ｂ)に示す状態になる。すなわち、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４の形状効果により、係合凸部４２の下方への付勢下に、係合凸部４２が係合穴部４４に接近すると、係合凸部４２および係合穴部４４の夫々の位置の一部が重複するだけで(完全に係合する位置からのずれがあっても)、自動的に係合しようとする。このとき、係合穴部４４,４４内には係合解除手段４６,４６が挿入されているが、係合凸部４２,４２は係合穴部４４,４４に対する係合によって係合解除手段４６,４６を押し下げようとする。このため、操作部２２の押込みを完全に行なわなくても、係合凸部４２および係合穴部４４が確実かつ自動的に係合状態に移行する。   When the operation unit 22 is pushed beyond the state shown in FIG. 6A, the state shown in FIG. 6B is obtained. That is, when the engaging convex portion 42 approaches the engaging hole portion 44 under the downward bias of the engaging convex portion 42 due to the shape effect of the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 and the engaging hole portions 44 and 44. The engagement convex portion 42 and the engagement hole portion 44 only partially overlap each other (even if there is a deviation from the completely engaged position), and the engagement is attempted automatically. At this time, the engagement release means 46 and 46 are inserted into the engagement hole portions 44 and 44, but the engagement convex portions 42 and 42 are engaged with the engagement hole portions 44 and 44, thereby releasing the engagement. It tries to push down 46,46. For this reason, even if it does not push in the operation part 22 completely, the engagement convex part 42 and the engagement hole part 44 transfer to an engagement state reliably and automatically.

そして係合凸部４２,４２が、係合穴部４４,４４に係合し始めると、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部と、係合穴部４４,４４内に収まっている係合解除手段４６,４６とが当接する(図６(ｃ)参照)。係合凸部４２,４２は、この当接後も下方への付勢作用によって、係合解除手段４６,４６を押し下げようとする。しかし、係合解除手段４６,４６はコンソール本体１０に設けられていて押し下げることができないため、リッド２０が上方に押し上げられることになる(図６(ｄ)参照)。そしてリッド２０が上方に押し上げられることで、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４が係合することになる。すなわち、操作部２２を押込むだけで、リッド２０を容易に開放状態に移行させる力がリッド２０に働く。   When the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 start to engage with the engaging hole portions 44 and 44, the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 and the engagements that are accommodated in the engaging hole portions 44 and 44. The release means 46 and 46 come into contact with each other (see FIG. 6C). The engaging convex portions 42 and 42 try to push down the disengaging means 46 and 46 by the downward biasing action even after the contact. However, since the disengaging means 46 and 46 are provided on the console body 10 and cannot be pushed down, the lid 20 is pushed up (see FIG. 6D). Then, when the lid 20 is pushed upward, the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 and the engaging hole portions 44 and 44 are engaged. That is, a force that easily shifts the lid 20 to the open state is applied to the lid 20 simply by pushing the operating portion 22.

このように、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４が係合することで、操作部２２(第１の係合手段５０)が係合解除状態に保持された開放保持状態になる。従って、第２の係合手段４０が係合状態になった後に、リッド２０の開放が第１の係合手段５０によって阻害されることはない。また操作部２２は、係合凸部４２,４２と係合穴部４４,４４とが係合することで位置規制されるため、がたつきが防止される。   Thus, the engagement convex parts 42 and 42 and the engagement hole parts 44 and 44 are engaged, so that the operation part 22 (first engagement means 50) is held in the disengaged state. become. Therefore, the opening of the lid 20 is not hindered by the first engaging means 50 after the second engaging means 40 is in the engaged state. Further, since the position of the operation portion 22 is restricted by the engagement of the engagement convex portions 42 and 42 and the engagement hole portions 44 and 44, rattling is prevented.

図７は、開放保持状態にあるリッド２０を閉成して、ロック状態とするまでの経過を示す状態図である。前述したように開放開放状態にあるリッド２０では、第２の係合手段４０が係合状態にある。このため、第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態に保持され、操作部２２は後方に押込まれた状態を保持している(図７(ａ)参照)。リッド２０の開放状態が小さくなっていくと、係合穴部４４,４４に係合している係合凸部４２,４２の下端部と、係合解除手段４６,４６とが当接する。そして、更にリッド２０を閉成すると、係合凸部４２,４２が係合解除手段４６,４６によって下方から押し上げられる(図７(ｂ)参照)。この押し上げによって、係合穴部４４,４４から係合凸部４２,４２が抜け出して係合が解除される。この解除により、係合凸部４２,４２(操作部２２)に働くスプリング５６の付勢力に対抗する力がなくなる。このため、係合凸部４２,４２(操作部２２)は前方へスライド移動し、これに伴い第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４が係合することになる(図７(ｃ)参照)。すなわち、リッド２０がコンソール本体１０を閉成することで、第２の係合手段４０が係合状態から係合解除状態に移行し、これによって第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態から係合状態に移行する。   FIG. 7 is a state diagram showing a process from closing the lid 20 in the open holding state to the locked state. As described above, the second engaging means 40 is in the engaged state in the lid 20 in the open and open state. For this reason, the first engagement means 50 is held in the disengaged state, and the operation unit 22 is held in a state of being pushed backward (see FIG. 7A). As the open state of the lid 20 becomes smaller, the lower end portions of the engagement convex portions 42 and 42 engaged with the engagement hole portions 44 and 44 come into contact with the engagement release means 46 and 46. When the lid 20 is further closed, the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 are pushed up from below by the engaging release means 46 and 46 (see FIG. 7B). By this push-up, the engaging projections 42 and 42 come out from the engaging holes 44 and 44, and the engagement is released. With this release, there is no force that opposes the urging force of the spring 56 acting on the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 (operation portion 22). For this reason, the engagement convex parts 42 and 42 (operation part 22) slide forward, and the 1st engagement part 52 and the 2nd engagement part 54 will engage with this (FIG.7 (c)). )reference). That is, when the lid 20 closes the console body 10, the second engaging means 40 shifts from the engaged state to the disengaged state, whereby the first engaging means 50 moves from the disengaged state. Transition to the engaged state.

また、この操作部２２の前方へのスライド移動に伴う第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態から係合状態への移行の際も、また、前述の如く、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部と下壁２８ｂとが当接しても、第１係合部５２を設けた弾性小片２５ａは変形しない。従って、操作部２２の前方への移動によって第１係合部５２が前方へ移動するだけで、第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態から係合状態へ移行する。   Further, when the first engaging means 50 is shifted from the disengaged state to the engaged state as the operating portion 22 slides forward, as described above, the engaging convex portions 42, 42 are also used. Even if the lower end portion of the elastic member 25 and the lower wall 28b come into contact with each other, the elastic piece 25a provided with the first engaging portion 52 is not deformed. Accordingly, the first engaging means 52 shifts from the disengaged state to the engaged state only by moving the first engaging portion 52 forward by the forward movement of the operation portion 22.

このように、本実施例に係るリッド２０においては、リッド２０が閉成されまでは、係合解除手段４６,４６が働かない。このため、第２の係合手段４０が係合状態から係合解除状態に移行しないため、第１の係合手段５０が係合解除状態から係合状態に移行することもない。従ってリッド２０を閉成するに際して、第１の係合手段５０における第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４が接触することはない(図７(ｂ)および(ｃ)参照)。すなわち、第１係合部５２および第２係合部５４の接触により、リッド２０の閉成に関して異音が生じたり、乗員の目につく部分に傷がつくことはない。   As described above, in the lid 20 according to the present embodiment, when the lid 20 is closed, the disengaging means 46 and 46 do not work. For this reason, since the 2nd engagement means 40 does not transfer from an engagement state to an engagement release state, the 1st engagement means 50 does not transfer from an engagement release state to an engagement state. Therefore, when the lid 20 is closed, the first engagement portion 52 and the second engagement portion 54 of the first engagement means 50 do not come into contact with each other (see FIGS. 7B and 7C). In other words, the contact between the first engagement portion 52 and the second engagement portion 54 does not cause an abnormal noise with respect to closing of the lid 20 or damage the visible portion of the occupant.

また、リッド２０の閉成時に操作部２２を後方に押込む際には、操作部２２の動きが、スプリング５６の付勢力と、弾性小片２５ｂ,２５ｂの下方への付勢による係合凸部４２,４２の下端部と下壁２８ｂの上面と摺接による摩擦力とによって規制される。またリッド２０の開放時には、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４が係合しているので、操作部２２の動きが規制されている。従って、リッド２０の状態によらず、操作部２２のがたつきに由来する異音等の発生が抑制される。更に、前述の如く、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部と下壁２８ｂとが当接しても、第１係合部５２を設けた弾性小片２５ａは変形しないため、操作部２２の操作による第１の係合手段５０の係合状態−係合解除状態の変化に伴う第１係合部５２と第２係合部５４との位置関係の変動を単純なものとし得る。   Further, when the operation unit 22 is pushed backward when the lid 20 is closed, the movement of the operation unit 22 is caused by the urging force of the spring 56 and the engagement convex portion by the downward urging of the elastic pieces 25b and 25b. The lower end portions of 42 and 42 and the upper surface of the lower wall 28b are regulated by the frictional force caused by sliding contact. Further, when the lid 20 is opened, the engagement convex portions 42 and 42 and the engagement hole portions 44 and 44 are engaged, so that the movement of the operation portion 22 is restricted. Therefore, regardless of the state of the lid 20, the occurrence of abnormal noise or the like due to the rattling of the operation unit 22 is suppressed. Further, as described above, even if the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 are in contact with the lower wall 28b, the elastic piece 25a provided with the first engaging portion 52 is not deformed. The change in the positional relationship between the first engagement portion 52 and the second engagement portion 54 accompanying the change in the engagement state-disengagement state of the first engagement means 50 can be simplified.

(変更例)
前述の実施例では、弾性片２４に第１係合部５２と係合凸部４２,４２とを設ける構成としている。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されず、例えば図８に示すように、弾性片２４にスリット２２ｃを形成せず、弾性片２４の幅方向の略中央部に、第１係合部５２を下方に突出するように設け、弾性片２４の後端部近傍に、係合凸部４２,４２を幅方向に離間して下方に向けて半球状に突出するように設けてもよい。この場合、操作部２２の構造の簡略化が可能となり、製造コストを低減し得る。 (Change example)
In the above-described embodiment, the elastic piece 24 is provided with the first engaging portion 52 and the engaging convex portions 42 and 42. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the slit 22 c is not formed in the elastic piece 24, and the first engagement portion 52 is disposed at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the elastic piece 24. In the vicinity of the rear end portion of the elastic piece 24, the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 may be provided so as to protrude downward in a hemispherical shape in the width direction. In this case, the structure of the operation unit 22 can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

(別の実施例)
前述の実施例では、内装部材としてフロアコンソールＦＣを例に挙げているが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、オーバヘッドコンソールや、グローブボックスにおける蓋体等にも、同様の構造を採用した開閉部材とし得る。殊にニルヘッドコンソールまたはグローブボックスの場合、開放時に第１の係合手段が乗員の目にとまり易い配置となるため、メッキ等を施すことによって商品性を大きく向上させ得る。 (Another example)
In the above-described embodiment, the floor console FC is taken as an example of the interior member, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an opening / closing member adopting a similar structure may be used for an overhead console, a lid in a glove box, or the like. In particular, in the case of a nil head console or a glove box, the first engaging means is arranged so as to be easily caught by the occupant when opened, so that the merchantability can be greatly improved by plating or the like.

また前述の実施例では、係合凸部４２,４２および係合穴部４４,４４の係合を解除するために係合解除手段４６,４６がコンソール本体１０の上面設けられていたが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、図１０に示す如く、下方に突設する係合凸部４２,４２の突設長さを大きくして、係合凸部４２,４２と係合穴部４４,４４とが係合した際に、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部が下壁２８ｂから下方に突出するようにしてもよい(図１０(ａ)参照)。ここで係合穴部４４,４４は、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部の高さ位置と、下壁２８ｂにおける下面の高さ位置とが略一致した場合に、係合凸部４２,４２が操作部２２に働くスプリング５６の付勢力で前方への移動が許容される断面形状となっている。この場合、リッド２０が閉成されると、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部がコンソール本体１０に直接当接して、係合凸部４２,４２が押し上げられ、係合凸部４２,４２と係合穴部４４,４４との係合が解除される(図１０(ｂ)参照)。すなわち、コンソール本体１０において、係合凸部４２,４２の下端部が当接する部位が、係合解除手段４６,４６となる。   In the above-described embodiment, the engagement release means 46 and 46 are provided on the upper surface of the console body 10 in order to release the engagement of the engagement protrusions 42 and 42 and the engagement holes 44 and 44. The invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the protruding lengths of the engaging convex portions 42, 42 protruding downward are increased, and the engaging convex portions 42, 42 and the engaging hole portions 44, 44 are engaged. At this time, the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42, 42 may protrude downward from the lower wall 28b (see FIG. 10A). Here, when the height position of the lower end portion of the engagement convex portions 42, 42 and the height position of the lower surface of the lower wall 28b substantially coincide with each other, 42 has a cross-sectional shape in which forward movement is allowed by the urging force of the spring 56 acting on the operation unit 22. In this case, when the lid 20 is closed, the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 are brought into direct contact with the console body 10, the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 are pushed up, and the engaging convex portions 42 and 42. And the engagement holes 44, 44 are disengaged (see FIG. 10B). That is, in the console body 10, portions where the lower end portions of the engaging convex portions 42 and 42 abut are the engagement releasing means 46 and 46.

また本発明は、開閉部材を閉成状態に保持する第１の係合手段が、別に備えられる第２の係合手段によって該開閉部材の開放を許容する状態に係合可能な構成であれば、殊にその内容は限定されない。例えば、前述の実施例では開閉部材(リッド)２０側に設けられている係合凸部４２および係合穴部４４を本体(コンソール本体)１０側に設けるようにしてもよい。   According to the present invention, the first engaging means for holding the opening / closing member in the closed state can be engaged in a state in which the opening / closing member is allowed to be opened by the second engaging means provided separately. In particular, the content is not limited. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the engaging convex portion 42 and the engaging hole portion 44 provided on the opening / closing member (lid) 20 side may be provided on the main body (console main body) 10 side.
