Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動車のインストルメントパネルの上部等に設けられる小物入れの扉をロックするロック装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、自動車のインストルメントパネルの上部に設けられた扉付きの小物入れが知られている。この種の小物入れは、上部に扉が設けられ、その扉はその後縁部を水平方向の枢軸により上方に開放可能に枢支され、扉を下方に閉じた際、扉の先端側(自由端側)に突設したフックが、小物入れ本体側の対応位置に設けたフック係止部に係止され、扉がロックされる構造である(例えば特開平11−321469号公報参照)。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、この従来の小物入れ用扉のロック装置は、ロック解除ノブが扉のフックの位置から離れた小物入れ本体の側部上に配置されているため、ロック解除ノブの動きを扉のフックの係止部に伝達するために、棒部材を摺動可能に配設し、さらにロック解除ノブの動きを棒部材に伝えるために、複数のカムやアームを軸支して複雑に各部材を連結する必要があった。このため、ロック装置の構造が複雑化すると共に大型化して、その配置場所が制限されると共に、製造時の組付に時間がかかり、さらに、各部材にがたつきが生じ易く、安定した良好な性能の製品が得られにくい等の問題があった。
【0004】
本発明は、上記の点に鑑みてなされたもので、構造が簡単で部品点数が少なく小形化できると共に、容易に組付を行なうことができる小物入れ用扉のロック装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の小物入れ用扉のロック装置は、小物入れ本体の上部後縁部に扉がその自由端を前に上方に開放可能に軸支され、扉の自由端近傍の内側にフックが傾動可能に設けられ、小物入れ本体の上部にフックが進入する開口部が形成され、扉の閉鎖時に該フックが該開口部に進入した際、開口部の内側縁部に設けたフック係止部にフックが係止されて扉をロックする小物入れ用扉のロック装置において、開口部の内側に開閉可能に配置され、開口部を内側から閉じる蓋体と、蓋体を回動可能に軸支し中央内側に嵌合部を有するリテーナと、リテーナの嵌合部に嵌合されるノブケースと、ノブケース内に押し込み摺動可能に配設されると共に、摺動時にフックに係合してフックをアンロック側に傾動させるアンロック部を設けたアンロックノブと、アンロックノブを小物入れ本体の一部に設けた孔から突出するように付勢するばね部材と、を一体に組み付けてロック装置ユニットが形成され、ロック装置ユニットが小物入れ本体内の所定位置に固定されたことを特徴とする。
【0006】
ここで、ノブケースとリテーナの嵌合部間には、アンロックノブをノブケース内に挿入した状態でノブケースをリテーナの嵌合部に嵌合させた際、ノブケースを嵌合部の所定位置に係止させる係止手段を設けることができる。また、フックとフック係止部は、フックがアンロックノブの押し込み操作により、後方に傾動して、開口部内側の前縁部に設けられたフック係止部との係止を解除するように構成することができる。さらに、ばね部材は、リテーナの嵌合部内に、アンロックノブを前方に付勢して配設することができる。
【0007】
【作用】
このような構成のロック装置は、その製造の際の組み付け時に、先ず、リテーナの元部に蓋体を軸支し、リテーナの嵌合部内にばね部材を掛止し、ノブケース内にアンロックノブを挿入した状態で、リテーナの嵌合部内にノブケースの元部の嵌合部を嵌め込み、ロック装置ユニットを組み立てる。そして、このロック装置ユニットを、小物入れ本体の内側の所定位置に、その蓋体を開口部の内側に位置させ、アンロックノブの先端を小物入れ本体前面の孔から突出させた状態で、固定して組み付けを行なう。
【0008】
このように、ロック装置ユニットが、蓋体、リテーナ、ノブケース、アンロックノブ、ばね部材の最少の部材から構成されるから、部品点数が従来に比べ少なくなり、小形に形成することができ、さらに予め一体に組み立てたロック装置ユニットを、小物入れ本体の内側に固定するように組み付けるから、組み付け作業が簡単で、少ない作業工数で迅速に組み立てを行なうことができる。
【0009】
このようなロック装置では、扉を閉じると、扉のフックが開口部内の蓋体を押し開きながら開口部に進入し、開口部の内側縁部に設けたフック係止部にフックが係止されて扉がロックされる。扉を開く際にはアンロックノブを押すと、アンロックノブのアンロック部がフックを押して傾動させ、フックと開口部の内側縁部に設けたフック係止部との係止を解除して、アンロック状態とし、扉を開放する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図1は自動車のインストルメントパネルの上部に配設される小物入れの斜視図を示し、図2は扉を開いた状態の小物入れの斜視図を示し、図3はその小物入れの扉2のロック装置の断面図を示し、図4はロック装置ユニット10の斜視図を示している。1は小物入れ本体であり、上部には上方を開放した収納室1aが設けられ、前面側にはレジスタ13を設けた空気吹出口12が一体的に形成されている。ロック装置ユニット10は、その収納室1aの前部中央の本体内に配設され、ロックを解除するためのアンロックノブ4がその前部中央に露出して押し込み可能に装着される。
【0011】
扉2は、収納室1aの上部を覆い、かつインストルメントパネルの上面と同一面を構成するように配設される。扉2の後縁部は、水平方向の枢軸2aにより上方に開放可能に軸支され、枢軸2aの下方側部に扉2と共に回動する部分歯車14が設けられ、この部分歯車14は小物入れ本体1の側部に設けた小歯車15に噛合する。更に、部分歯車14の近傍に開放ばね19が装着され、扉2を開放側に付勢する。小歯車15は適度な負荷を持って回動するように軸支され、扉2がアンロック状態となって開放ばね19の付勢力により開く際、扉2は小歯車15のダンパー作用により緩やかに開くように動作する。
【0012】
扉2の先端側(自由端側)の中央内側に、フック3が下向きにかつ前後方向に傾動可能に取り付けられる。このフック3には、図2、3に示すように、鉤部3aが正面側を向いて形成され、その正面中央には後述のアンロックノブ4のアンロック部4が押すための凹部3bが設けられている。このようなフック3の元部には水平方向の枢軸3cが設けられ、この枢軸3cによってフック3は所定の角度範囲で前後方向に回動可能に軸支される。また、枢軸3cにはねじりコイルばね16が装着され、フック3を前方の係止側に付勢している。
【0013】
一方、小物入れ本体1上の収納室1aの前縁部中央には、扉2の閉鎖時にフック3が進入する矩形の開口部17が形成され、この開口部17の内側には後述のロック装置ユニット10の一部である蓋体9がこの開口を内側から閉じるように回動可能に配置される。また、開口部17の内側縁部に、図2、図7に示すようなフック係止部18が形成され、開口部17の内側に図4、5に示すようなロック装置ユニット10が装着される。
【0014】
図4、5において、4は扉2を開く際にアンロック操作を行なうアンロックノブであり、元部の中央上部にアンロック部5が斜め上方に突き出すように突設される。アンロックノブ4の両側にはガイド凸部4aが長手方向に突設される。このアンロック部5はアンロックノブ4の押し込み操作時に、扉2のフック3の凹部3bを押して、フック3をロック解除方向に傾動させる。
【0015】
アンロックノブ4は、ノブケース6内にその先端(前部)を突出して前後に摺動可能に挿入されるが、ノブケース6の内側面にはガイド凹部6cが形成され、アンロックノブ4のガイド凸部4aがこのガイド凹部6cに係合し前後方向の移動を良好にガイドされる。また、ノブケース6の元部には、後述のリテーナ8の嵌合部8a内に嵌合可能な嵌合部6aが形成され、更にその嵌合部6aの外側の両側面には係止手段として爪部6dが突設される。リテーナ8の嵌合部8aへの組付・嵌合時には、爪部6dがリテーナ8の長穴8eに係止され、固定される。係止手段としての爪部6dと長穴8eの位置関係は上記とは逆に構成することもできる。さらに、ノブケース6の両側にはねじ孔、位置決め孔を設けた取付部6bが形成される。
【0016】
リテーナ8は、図5に示すように、立体的な枠状に形成され、前部下段にノブケース6を嵌合可能な形状の嵌合部8aを設け、元部上段に蓋体装着部8bを設け、両側にねじ孔や位置決め孔を設けた取付部8c,8dを形成して構成される。リテーナ8の嵌合部8a内の両側部には、ノブケース6の嵌合部6aの両側爪部6dが係止される長穴8eが形成され、また、嵌合部8aの中央には凸部8fが突設され、中央に孔7aを有するばね部材(板ばね)7がこの凸部8にその孔7aをはめて嵌合部8a内に装着される。
【0017】
蓋体装着部8bの両側には軸孔8gが設けられ、その軸孔8gに蓋体9の両側の軸9aが回動可能に嵌合される。蓋体9を閉鎖方向(上方)に付勢するためのねじりコイルばね11が蓋体9に装着される。また、蓋体9の前縁部中央にはアンロック部5が係合する係合凹部9bが形成される。
【0018】
上記構成のロック装置ユニット10の各部材は、ノブケース6がアンロックノブ4を内側に挿入した状態で、リテーナ8の嵌合部8a内にノブケース6の元部の嵌合部6aを差し込むように嵌め合わせる。このとき、ノブケース6の嵌合部6aが所定位置まで嵌入したとき、爪部6dがリテーナ8側の長穴8eに嵌入し、確実に組み付けが行なわれる。また、このとき、リテーナ8の嵌合部8a内のばね部材7はノブケース6内のアンロックノブ4の背面を前方に付勢した状態となり、リテーナ8とノブケース6の前部の取付部6bと8cが合わせた状態に組み付けられる。
【0019】
このように、リテーナ8の元部に蓋体9を軸支し、リテーナ8の嵌合部8a内にばね部材7を掛止し、ノブケース6内にアンロックノブ4を挿入した状態で、リテーナ8の嵌合部8a内にノブケース6の元部の嵌合部6aを差し込むように嵌め込むだけで、簡単かつ確実にロック装置ユニット10の組立を完了することができる。また、このロック装置ユニット10は、ノブケース6、アンロックノブ4、ばね部材7、リテーナ8、及び蓋体9の最少の部材から構成されるから、部品点数が従来のものに比べ少なくなり、図4のように小形に形成することができる。
【0020】
そして、上記のように組み立てられたロック装置ユニット10は、小物入れ本体1の内側の所定位置に、図3の如くその蓋体9を開口部17の内側に位置させ、アンロックノブ4の先端を本体前面の孔から突出させた状態で、取付部6b,8c,8d及び取付ねじを用いて取付・固定される。
【0021】
このような構成の小物入れは、自動車のインストルメントパネル上に装着され、扉2を上から押して閉めると、扉2の自由端中央のフック3が、小物入れ本体1側の対応位置に設けた開口部17に、その内側の蓋体9を押し開きながら進入し、フック3の前部両側の鉤部3aが、図7のように開口部17の内側前縁部のフック係止部18に係止され、扉2がロックされる。フック係止部18はねじりコイルばね16により係止方向(前方)に付勢されているため、そのロック状態は保持される。
【0022】
次に、扉2を開くために、アンロックノブ4を押すと、図8のように、アンロックノブ4が内側に移動し、斜め上方に突設されたアンロック部5が扉2のフック3の凹部3bを押し上げる。これによって、フック3が元部の枢軸3cを軸に上方に回動し、フック3の鉤部3aとフック係止部18との係合がはずれ、図9に示すように、扉2はその元部の枢軸2aを軸にして開放ばね19のばね力により上方への付勢力を受けて上に向けて回動し開放される。フック3が退出した開口部17は、ねじりコイルばね11の付勢力により蓋体9が上に向けて回動し、閉鎖される。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本願発明の小物入れ用扉のロック装置によれば、ロック装置ユニットが、蓋体、リテーナ、ノブケース、アンロックノブ、ばね部材の最少の部材から構成されるから、部品点数が従来に比べ少なくなり、小形に形成することができ、さらに予め一体に組み立てたロック装置ユニットを、小物入れ本体の内側の所定位置に固定するように組み付けるから、組み付け作業が簡単で、少ない作業工数で、迅速に組み立てを行なうことができる。
【0024】
また、請求項2のように、ノブケースとリテーナの嵌合部間に、アンロックノブをノブケース内に挿入した状態でノブケースをリテーナの嵌合部に嵌合させた際、係止手段によりノブケースを嵌合部の所定位置に係止させるように構成すれば、ロック装置ユニットの組み立てを、より簡単にがたつきなく行なうことができる。
【0025】
更に、請求項3のように、アンロックノブの押し込み操作により、フックが後方に傾動して、開口部内側の前縁部に設けられたフック係止部との係止を解除するよう構成すれば、簡単な構造のロック装置ユニットにより、扉のロック及びアンロックを円滑に行なうことができる。

The accessory case having such a configuration is mounted on an instrument panel of an automobile, and when the door 2 is pushed and closed from above, a hook 3 at the center of the free end of the door 2 is provided at a corresponding position on the accessory case body 1 side. The lid 9 inside the opening 17 is entered while being pushed open, and the hooks 3a on both sides of the front part of the hook 3 enter the hook engaging part 18 on the inner front edge of the opening 17 as shown in FIG. The door 2 is locked. Since the hook locking portion 18 is biased in the locking direction (forward) by the torsion coil spring 16, the locked state is maintained.
[0022]
Next, when the unlocking knob 4 is pushed to open the door 2, the unlocking knob 4 is moved inward as shown in FIG. 8, and the unlocking part 5 projecting obliquely upward is formed on the hook 3 of the door 2. The recess 3b is pushed up. As a result, the hook 3 pivots upward about the pivot 3c of the original part, and the hook 3a of the hook 3 and the hook locking part 18 are disengaged. As shown in FIG. With the pivot 2a of the base portion as an axis, the spring force of the release spring 19 receives an upward biasing force and rotates upward to be released. The opening 17 from which the hook 3 is retracted is closed by the lid body 9 turning upward by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 11.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the accessory case locking device of the present invention, the locking device unit is composed of the minimum members of the lid, the retainer, the knob case, the unlocking knob, and the spring member. Compared to the conventional case, it can be formed in a small size, and since the lock unit unit assembled in advance is assembled so as to be fixed at a predetermined position inside the accessory case body, the assembling work is simple and the number of work steps is small. As a result, assembly can be performed quickly.
[0024]
Further, when the knob case is fitted to the fitting portion of the retainer with the unlocking knob inserted in the knob case between the fitting portion of the knob case and the retainer, the knob case is fitted by the locking means. If it is configured to be locked at a predetermined position of the joint portion, the assembly of the lock device unit can be performed more easily and without backlash.
[0025]
Further, as in claim 3, if the hook is tilted rearward by the pushing operation of the unlocking knob, the locking with the hook locking portion provided at the front edge portion inside the opening is released. The door can be locked and unlocked smoothly by the lock device unit having a simple structure.
