そのため、閉位置、開位置、途中位置のいずれの位置からも、蓋部材を一回操作するだけで蓋部材を他の一つの位置に移動させることができる。したがって、従来に比べて操作性を向上させることができる。
According to the overhead console device of the above (1) or (2), the lid member is held in the closed position with respect to the housing, and the lid member is restricted from rotating from the closed position to the open position side with respect to the housing. And a second holding device that holds the lid member in the middle position with respect to the housing and restricts the lid member from rotating from the middle position to the open position side with respect to the housing. And the second holding device moves the lid member in the middle position to the open position side with a force greater than the force that can elastically deform the elastic deformation portion until the engagement between the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion is released. By rotating, the engagement between the engaging portion and the engagement receiving portion is released, and the holding of the lid member at the middle position is released, so that the following effect can be obtained.
(A) When the lid member is moved from the closed position to the middle position, it is only necessary to release the holding of the first holding device and rotate the lid member directly from the closed position to the middle position. When the lid member is moved to the closed position, it is only necessary to rotate the lid member directly from the midway position to the closed position. (C) When the lid member is moved from the open position to the midway position, the engaging portion is engaged. It is only necessary to rotate the lid member directly from the open position to the halfway position with a force greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation part until it gets over the part. (D) The lid member is moved from the halfway position to the open position. Sometimes, it is only necessary to rotate the lid member directly from the midway position to the open position with a force equal to or greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion until the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are disengaged. e) Lid member from closed position to open position When moving, the first holding device is released, and the lid member is directly moved with a force greater than the force that can elastically deform the elastic deformation portion until the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are disengaged. (F) When the lid member is moved from the open position to the closed position, the elastic deformation portion is elastically deformed until the engagement portion gets over the engagement receiving portion. It is only necessary to rotate the lid member directly over the midway position to the closed position with a force greater than the force that can be generated.
Therefore, the lid member can be moved to another position by operating the lid member only once from any of the closed position, the open position, and the midway position. Therefore, operability can be improved compared to the conventional case.

また、傾斜面の傾斜角度が、途中位置にある蓋部材がハウジングに対して車両走行振動で閉位置側に移動した際に、自由状態から弾性変形している弾性変形部が自由状態に復元する方向に変形し係合部が係合受け部との係合量が大となる方向に変位することで、係合部が係合受け部から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされているため、つぎの効果を得ることができる。
蓋部材が途中位置にあるときに、車両走行振動で蓋部材がハウジングに対して使用者の意思に反して閉位置側に移動した場合であっても、係合部と係合受け部とが離れてしまうことを抑制できる。そのため、係合部と係合受け部とが離れた後に当たり合い異音が発生することを抑制できる。
In addition, when the cover member at the midway position of the inclined surface moves to the closed position side by the vehicle running vibration with respect to the housing, the elastically deforming portion that is elastically deformed from the free state is restored to the free state. Since the engaging portion is displaced in the direction in which the engagement portion is displaced in a direction in which the engagement amount with the engagement receiving portion is increased, the angle of inclination is such that the engagement portion is not separated from the engagement receiving portion. The effect of can be obtained.
Even when the lid member is in the middle position and the lid member moves to the closed position against the user's intention due to vehicle running vibration, the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are It can suppress leaving. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of contact noise after the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are separated.

第1の保持装置40のロック解除ノブ43を操作することにより、ロック部41とロック受け部42との係合が外れる(第1の保持装置40の保持(ロック)が解除される)。第1の保持装置40の保持が解除されると、蓋部材30は図示略の付勢部材の付勢力と自重(さらに使用者の操作力)によりハウジング20に対して下方に回動する。蓋部材30が途中位置30cに達したとき、第2の保持装置50の係合受け部53と係合部51とが係合し蓋部材30のハウジング20に対する回動が止まる。
Here, an operation common to all the embodiments of the present invention will be described.
(A) When the lid member 30 at the closed position 30a is moved to the middle position 30c (when moved from the state of FIGS. 1, 4, and 7 to the state of FIGS. 2, 5, and 8).
By operating the lock release knob 43 of the first holding device 40, the engagement between the lock portion 41 and the lock receiving portion 42 is released (the holding (locking) of the first holding device 40 is released). When the holding of the first holding device 40 is released, the lid member 30 is rotated downward with respect to the housing 20 by a biasing force of a biasing member (not shown) and its own weight (further, a user's operating force). When the lid member 30 reaches the midway position 30c, the engagement receiving portion 53 and the engagement portion 51 of the second holding device 50 are engaged, and the rotation of the lid member 30 with respect to the housing 20 is stopped.

(b)途中位置30cにある蓋部材30を閉位置30aに移動させるとき(図2、図5、図8の状態から図1、図4、図7の状態に移動させるとき)
蓋部材30を押して上方に回動させる。蓋部材30が閉位置30aに達したとき、第1の保持装置40のロック部41がロック受け部42に係合する。
(B) When the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c is moved to the closed position 30a (when moving from the state of FIGS. 2, 5, and 8 to the state of FIGS. 1, 4, and 7)
The lid member 30 is pushed and rotated upward. When the lid member 30 reaches the closed position 30a, the lock portion 41 of the first holding device 40 engages with the lock receiving portion.

(c)開位置30bにある蓋部材30を途中位置30cに移動させるとき(図3、図6、図9の状態から図2、図5、図8の状態に移動させるとき)
蓋部材30を押して上方に回動させ蓋部材30が途中位置30cの直前に達したとき、第2の保持装置50の係合受け部53が係合部51に接触する。さらに蓋部材30を、係合部51が係合受け部53を乗り越えるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で上方に押すことにより、第2の保持装置50の弾性変形部52が弾性変形して復元することで係合受け部53が係合部51に係合する(乗り上げる、引っ掛かる)。係合部51と係合受け部53とが係合したとき、蓋部材30が途中位置30cに達する。
(C) When the lid member 30 at the open position 30b is moved to the intermediate position 30c (when moved from the state of FIGS. 3, 6, and 9 to the state of FIGS. 2, 5, and 8).
When the lid member 30 is pushed and rotated upward and the lid member 30 reaches just before the midway position 30 c, the engagement receiving portion 53 of the second holding device 50 contacts the engagement portion 51. Furthermore, the elastic deformation of the second holding device 50 is performed by pushing the lid member 30 upward with a force equal to or greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion 52 until the engagement portion 51 gets over the engagement receiving portion 53. When the part 52 is elastically deformed and restored, the engagement receiving part 53 engages with the engagement part 51 (climbs or catches). When the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 are engaged, the lid member 30 reaches the midway position 30c.

(d)途中位置30cにある蓋部材30を開位置30bに移動させるとき(図2、図5、図8の状態から図3、図6、図9の状態に移動させるとき)
蓋部材30を、係合部51と係合受け部53との係合が外れるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で引き下げることにより、弾性変形部52が弾性変形し係合部51が係合受け部53から外れる(第2の保持装置50の保持(ロック)が解除される)。第2の保持装置50の保持が解除されると、蓋部材30は図示略の付勢部材の付勢力と自重(さらに使用者の操作力)によりハウジング20に対して下方に回動する。蓋部材30が開位置30bに達したとき、蓋部材30の一部がハウジング20の一部に当接して蓋部材30のハウジング20に対する回動が止まる。
(D) When the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c is moved to the open position 30b (from the state of FIGS. 2, 5, and 8 to the state of FIGS. 3, 6, and 9)
The elastic deformation portion 52 is elastically deformed by pulling down the lid member 30 with a force greater than the force that can elastically deform the elastic deformation portion 52 until the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 are disengaged. The engaging portion 51 is disengaged from the engaging receiving portion 53 (the holding (locking) of the second holding device 50 is released). When the holding of the second holding device 50 is released, the lid member 30 is rotated downward with respect to the housing 20 by a biasing force of a biasing member (not shown) and its own weight (and a user's operating force). When the lid member 30 reaches the open position 30b, a part of the lid member 30 comes into contact with a part of the housing 20, and the rotation of the lid member 30 with respect to the housing 20 is stopped.

(e)閉位置30aにある蓋部材30を開位置30bに移動させるとき(図1、図4、図7の状態から図3、図6、図9の状態に移動させるとき)
ロック解除ノブ43を操作して第1の保持装置40の保持(ロック)を解除した後、途中位置30cを越えるまでそのまま蓋部材30を、係合部51と係合受け部53との係合が外れるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で引き下げることにより、第2の保持装置50の保持(ロック)も解除される。第2の保持装置50の保持が解除されると、蓋部材30は図示略の付勢部材の付勢力と自重(さらに使用者の操作力)によりハウジング20に対して下方に回動する。蓋部材30が開位置30bに達したとき、蓋部材30の一部がハウジング20の一部に当接して蓋部材30のハウジング20に対する回動が止まる。
(E) When the lid member 30 at the closed position 30a is moved to the open position 30b (when moved from the state of FIGS. 1, 4, and 7 to the state of FIGS. 3, 6, and 9)
After operating the lock release knob 43 to release the holding (locking) of the first holding device 40, the lid member 30 is directly engaged with the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 until the intermediate position 30c is exceeded. The holding (locking) of the second holding device 50 is also released by pulling it down with a force equal to or greater than the force that can elastically deform the elastic deformation portion 52 until it is released. When the holding of the second holding device 50 is released, the lid member 30 is rotated downward with respect to the housing 20 by a biasing force of a biasing member (not shown) and its own weight (and a user's operating force). When the lid member 30 reaches the open position 30b, a part of the lid member 30 comes into contact with a part of the housing 20, and the rotation of the lid member 30 with respect to the housing 20 is stopped.

(f)開位置30bにある蓋部材30を閉位置30aに移動させるとき(図3、図6、図9の状態から図1、図4、図7の状態に移動させるとき)
蓋部材30を押して上方に回動させ蓋部材30が途中位置30cの直前に達したとき、第2の保持装置50の係合受け部53が係合部51に接触する。さらに蓋部材30を、係合部51が係合受け部53を乗り越えるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で上方に押すことにより、第2の保持装置50の弾性変形部52が弾性変形して復元することで係合受け部53が係合部51に係合する(乗り上げる、引っ掛かる)。そのままさらに蓋部材30を閉位置30aに達するまで上方に押して回動させることにより、蓋部材30が閉位置30aに達する。蓋部材30が閉位置30aに達したとき、第1の保持装置40のロック部41がロック受け部42に係合する。
(F) When the lid member 30 at the open position 30b is moved to the closed position 30a (when moving from the state of FIGS. 3, 6, and 9 to the state of FIGS. 1, 4, and 7)
When the lid member 30 is pushed and rotated upward and the lid member 30 reaches just before the midway position 30 c, the engagement receiving portion 53 of the second holding device 50 contacts the engagement portion 51. Furthermore, the elastic deformation of the second holding device 50 is performed by pushing the lid member 30 upward with a force equal to or greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion 52 until the engagement portion 51 gets over the engagement receiving portion 53. When the part 52 is elastically deformed and restored, the engagement receiving part 53 engages with the engagement part 51 (climbs or catches). The lid member 30 is further pushed and rotated upward until it reaches the closed position 30a, so that the lid member 30 reaches the closed position 30a. When the lid member 30 reaches the closed position 30a, the lock portion 41 of the first holding device 40 engages with the lock receiving portion.

つぎに、本発明全実施例にわたって共通する作用、効果を説明する。
本発明実施例では、蓋部材30をハウジング20に対して閉位置30aに保持し蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して閉位置30aから開位置30b側に回動することを規制する第1の保持装置40と、蓋部材30をハウジング20に対して途中位置30cに保持し蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して途中位置30cから開位置30b側に回動することを規制する第2の保持装置50と、を有しており、第2の保持装置50が、係合部51と係合受け部53との係合が外れるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で途中位置30cにある蓋部材30を開位置30b側に回動させることで、係合部51と係合受け部53との係合が外れて蓋部材30の途中位置30cでの保持を解除するため、つぎの作用、効果を得ることができる。
(a)閉位置30aから途中位置30cに蓋部材30を移動させるときには、第1の保持装置40の保持を解除して蓋部材30を直接閉位置30aから途中位置30cに回動させるだけでよく、(b)途中位置30cから閉位置30aに蓋部材30を移動させるときには、蓋部材30を直接途中位置30cから閉位置30aに回動させるだけでよく、(c)開位置30bから途中位置30cに蓋部材30を移動させるときには、係合部51が係合受け部53を乗り越えるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で蓋部材30を直接開位置30bから途中位置30cまで回動させるだけでよく、(d)途中位置30cから開位置30bに蓋部材30を移動させるときには、係合部51と係合受け部53との係合が外れるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で蓋部材30を直接途中位置30cから開位置30bに回動させるだけでよく、(e)閉位置30aから開位置30bに蓋部材を移動させるときには、第1の保持装置40の保持を解除して、係合部51と係合受け部53との係合が外れるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で蓋部材30を直接途中位置30cを超えて開位置30bに回動させるだけでよく、(f)開位置30bから閉位置30aに蓋部材30を移動させるときには、係合部51が係合受け部53を乗り越えるまで弾性変形部52を弾性変形させることができる力以上の力で蓋部材30を直接途中位置30cを越えて閉位置30aに回動させるだけでよい。
そのため、閉位置30a、開位置30b、途中位置30cのいずれの位置からも、蓋部材30を一回操作するだけで蓋部材30を他の一つの位置に移動させることができる。したがって、従来に比べて操作性を向上させることができる。
Next, operations and effects common to all the embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the lid member 30 is held at the closed position 30 a with respect to the housing 20, and the first holding that restricts the lid member 30 from rotating relative to the housing 20 from the closed position 30 a to the open position 30 b side. The second holding device 50 that holds the device 40 and the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c relative to the housing 20 and restricts the lid member 30 from rotating from the midway position 30c toward the open position 30b relative to the housing 20. And the second holding device 50 is halfway with a force greater than the force that can elastically deform the elastic deformation portion 52 until the engagement between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is released. By rotating the lid member 30 at the position 30c to the open position 30b side, the engagement between the engaging portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is released and the holding of the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c is released. Get the following actions and effects Door can be.
(A) When the lid member 30 is moved from the closed position 30a to the midway position 30c, it is only necessary to release the holding of the first holding device 40 and rotate the lid member 30 directly from the closed position 30a to the midway position 30c. (B) When the lid member 30 is moved from the midway position 30c to the closed position 30a, it is only necessary to rotate the lid member 30 directly from the midway position 30c to the closed position 30a. (C) From the open position 30b to the midway position 30c When the lid member 30 is moved, the lid member 30 is moved directly from the open position 30b to the halfway position 30c with a force greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion 52 until the engagement portion 51 gets over the engagement receiving portion 53. (D) When the lid member 30 is moved from the midway position 30c to the open position 30b, the engagement between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is disengaged. It is only necessary to rotate the lid member 30 directly from the midway position 30c to the open position 30b with a force greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion 52. (e) The lid member is moved from the closed position 30a to the open position 30b. When moving, the holding force of the first holding device 40 is released, and the elastic deformation portion 52 is elastically deformed until the engagement between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is released. It is only necessary to rotate the lid member 30 directly over the intermediate position 30c to the open position 30b. (F) When the lid member 30 is moved from the open position 30b to the closed position 30a, the engaging portion 51 is engaged with the engagement receiving portion. It is only necessary to rotate the lid member 30 directly beyond the midway position 30c to the closed position 30a with a force greater than the force capable of elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion 52 until it passes over 53.
Therefore, the lid member 30 can be moved to another one position only by operating the lid member 30 once from any of the closed position 30a, the open position 30b, and the midway position 30c. Therefore, operability can be improved compared to the conventional case.

本発明図示例では、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して傾くことを抑制して装置10の見栄えを向上させるために、第2の保持装置50が装置10の左右両側に合計2箇所設けられている場合を示しているが、第2の保持装置50は、コスト削減のために、装置10の左右中央部または左右いずれかの片側のみに設けられていてもよい。   In the illustrated example of the present invention, the second holding device 50 is added to both the left and right sides of the device 10 in order to prevent the lid member 30 at the midway position 30 c from being inclined with respect to the housing 20 and improve the appearance of the device 10. Although the case where two places are provided is shown, the second holding device 50 may be provided only on one of the left and right central portions or the left and right sides of the device 10 for cost reduction.

つぎに、本発明各実施例に特有な部分を説明する。
〔実施例1〕(図1〜図13)
本発明実施例1では、図13に示すように、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、係合部51と係合受け部53のうち蓋部材30に設けられる方である係合受け部53の、係合部51と係合受け部53のうちハウジング20に設けられる方である係合部51と係合する部位(下面)が、蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して閉位置30aから開位置30bに回動する方向(下方向)かつ係合部51と係合受け部53との係合量を小にする方向(蓋部材30からの突出量を小にする方向)に傾斜する傾斜面54とされている。
また、この傾斜面54の傾斜角度が、図13の二点差線にて示すように、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して車両走行振動で閉位置30a側(上方)に移動した際に、自由状態から弾性変形している弾性変形部52が自由状態に復元する方向に変形し係合部51が係合受け部53との係合量が大となる方向Aに変位することで(係合部51が係合受け部53に接近する方向に移動することで)、係合部51が係合受け部53から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされている。
蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるとき、係合部51と係合受け部53とは点または線接触している。
Next, parts unique to each embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[Example 1] (FIGS. 1 to 13)
In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 13, when the lid member 30 is in the midway position 30c, the engagement receiver 51 or the engagement receiver 53, which is the one provided on the lid member 30. A portion (lower surface) of the portion 53 that engages with the engaging portion 51 that is provided on the housing 20 of the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 is in a closed position 30 a with respect to the housing 20. Tilted in a direction (downward) rotating from the first position to the open position 30b and a direction in which the engagement amount between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is reduced (a direction in which the protrusion amount from the lid member 30 is reduced). An inclined surface 54 is formed.
Further, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 13, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 54 moves the lid member 30 at the midway position 30 c to the closed position 30 a side (upward) with respect to the housing 20 due to vehicle running vibration. In this case, the elastically deforming portion 52 that is elastically deformed from the free state is deformed in a direction to restore the free state, and the engaging portion 51 is displaced in the direction A in which the engagement amount with the engaging receiving portion 53 is increased. Thus (by moving the engaging portion 51 in a direction approaching the engaging receiving portion 53), the inclination angle is set so that the engaging portion 51 does not separate from the engaging receiving portion 53.
When the lid member 30 is at the midway position 30c, the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 are in point or line contact.

本発明実施例1では、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、車両走行振動で蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して使用者の意思に反して閉位置30a側に移動した場合であっても、本発明実施例の比較例を示す図16に示す場合と異なり、係合部51と係合受け部53とが離れてしまうことを抑制できる。そのため、係合部と係合受け部とが離れた後に当たり合い異音が発生することを抑制できる。
また、傾斜面54の傾斜角度が、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して車両走行振動で閉位置30a側に移動した際に係合部51が係合受け部53から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされているため、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30を開位置30bに移動させるとき、係合部51が傾斜面54を滑るように移動する。そのため、係合部51と係合突起53との係合が外れる動きが比較的緩やかであり、操作フィーリング上有利である。
In the first embodiment of the present invention, when the lid member 30 is at the midway position 30c, the lid member 30 is moved toward the closed position 30a against the housing 20 against the intention of the user due to vehicle running vibration. However, unlike the case shown in FIG. 16 showing the comparative example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 from separating. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of contact noise after the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are separated.
Further, when the lid member 30 whose inclination angle of the inclined surface 54 is at the midway position 30c moves to the closed position 30a side with respect to the housing 20 due to vehicle running vibration, the engaging portion 51 does not leave the engaging receiving portion 53. Since the inclination angle is set to a certain degree, when the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c is moved to the open position 30b, the engaging portion 51 moves so as to slide on the inclined surface 54. Therefore, the movement of disengagement between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement protrusion 53 is relatively slow, which is advantageous in terms of operation feeling.

〔実施例2〕(図14)
本発明実施例2では、図14に示すように、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、係合部51と係合受け部53のうちハウジング20に設けられる方である係合部51の、係合部51と係合受け部53のうち蓋部材30に設けられる方である係合受け部53と係合する部位(上面)が、蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して閉位置30aから開位置30bに回動する方向(下方向)かつ係合部51と係合受け部53との係合量を大にする方向(蓋部材30側への突出量を大にする方向)に傾斜する傾斜面55とされている。
また、この傾斜面55の傾斜角度が、図14の二点差線にて示すように、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して車両走行振動で閉位置30a側(上方)に移動した際に、自由状態から弾性変形している弾性変形部52が自由状態に復元する方向に変形し係合部51が係合受け部53との係合量が大となる方向Aに変位することで(係合部51が係合受け部53に接近する方向に移動することで)、係合部51が係合受け部53から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされている。
蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるとき、係合部51と係合受け部53とは点または線接触している。
[Example 2] (FIG. 14)
In the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 14, when the lid member 30 is in the midway position 30 c, the engagement portion 51 that is provided on the housing 20 among the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53. Of the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53, the portion (upper surface) that engages with the engaging receiving portion 53, which is the one provided on the lid member 30, is closed position 30 a with respect to the housing 20. In a direction (downward direction) that pivots from the first position to the open position 30b and a direction that increases the amount of engagement between the engaging portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 (direction that increases the amount of protrusion toward the lid member 30). The inclined surface 55 is inclined.
Further, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 14, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 55 moves the lid member 30 at the midway position 30 c to the closed position 30 a side (upward) with respect to the housing 20 due to vehicle running vibration. In this case, the elastically deforming portion 52 that is elastically deformed from the free state is deformed in a direction to restore the free state, and the engaging portion 51 is displaced in the direction A in which the engagement amount with the engaging receiving portion 53 is increased. Thus (by moving the engaging portion 51 in a direction approaching the engaging receiving portion 53), the inclination angle is set so that the engaging portion 51 does not separate from the engaging receiving portion 53.
When the lid member 30 is at the midway position 30c, the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 are in point or line contact.

本発明実施例2では、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、車両走行振動で蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して使用者の意思に反して閉位置30a側に移動した場合であっても、本発明実施例の比較例を示す図16に示す場合と異なり、係合部51と係合受け部53とが離れてしまうことを抑制できる。そのため、係合部と係合受け部とが離れた後に当たり合い異音が発生することを抑制できる。
また、傾斜面55の傾斜角度が、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して車両走行振動で閉位置30a側に移動した際に係合部51が係合受け部53から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされているため、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30を開位置30bに移動させるとき、係合受け部53が傾斜面55を滑るように移動する。そのため、係合部51と係合突起53との係合が外れる動きが比較的緩やかであり、操作フィーリング上有利である。
In the second embodiment of the present invention, when the lid member 30 is at the midway position 30c, the lid member 30 is moved toward the closed position 30a against the housing 20 against the intention of the user due to vehicle running vibration. However, unlike the case shown in FIG. 16 showing the comparative example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 from separating. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of contact noise after the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are separated.
Further, when the lid member 30 whose inclination angle of the inclined surface 55 is at the midway position 30 c is moved to the closed position 30 a side by the vehicle running vibration with respect to the housing 20, the engaging portion 51 is not separated from the engaging receiving portion 53. Since the inclination angle is set to a certain degree, when the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c is moved to the open position 30b, the engagement receiving portion 53 moves so as to slide on the inclined surface 55. Therefore, the movement of disengagement between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement protrusion 53 is relatively slow, which is advantageous in terms of operation feeling.

〔実施例3〕(図15)
本発明実施例3では、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、係合部51と係合受け部53のうち蓋部材30に設けられる方である係合受け部53の、係合部51と係合受け部53のうちハウジング20に設けられる方である係合部51と係合する部位(下面)が、蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して閉位置30aから開位置30bに回動する方向(下方向)かつ係合部51と係合受け部53との係合量を小にする方向(蓋部材30からの突出量を小にする方向)に傾斜する傾斜面54とされている。
また、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、係合部51と係合受け部53のうちハウジング20に設けられる方である係合部51の、係合部51と係合受け部53のうち蓋部材30に設けられる方である係合受け部53と係合する部位(上面)が、蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して閉位置30aから開位置30bに回動する方向(下方向)かつ係合部51と係合受け部53との係合量を大にする方向(蓋部材30側への突出量を大にする方向)に傾斜する傾斜面55とされている。
また、この傾斜面54、55の傾斜角度は、共に等しく、図15の二点差線にて示すように、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して車両走行振動で閉位置30a側(上方)に移動した際に、自由状態から弾性変形している弾性変形部52が自由状態に復元する方向に変形し係合部51が係合受け部53との係合量が大となる方向Aに変位することで(係合部51が係合受け部53に接近する方向に移動することで)、係合部51が係合受け部53から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされている。
蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるとき、係合部51と係合受け部53とは面接触している。
Example 3 (FIG. 15)
In the third embodiment of the present invention, when the lid member 30 is in the midway position 30c, the engagement portion of the engagement receiving portion 53 which is the one provided on the lid member 30 among the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53. 51 and the portion (lower surface) that engages with the engaging portion 51 that is provided on the housing 20 of the engagement receiving portion 53, the lid member 30 rotates from the closed position 30 a to the open position 30 b with respect to the housing 20. The inclined surface 54 is inclined in a direction (downward direction) and a direction in which the engagement amount between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is reduced (a direction in which the projection amount from the lid member 30 is reduced). Yes.
Further, when the lid member 30 is in the midway position 30 c, the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 of the engaging portion 51 that is provided on the housing 20 among the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53. The portion (upper surface) that engages with the engagement receiving portion 53 that is provided on the lid member 30 is the direction in which the lid member 30 rotates from the closed position 30a to the open position 30b with respect to the housing 20 (downward direction). ) And an inclined surface 55 that is inclined in a direction in which the engagement amount between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 is increased (a direction in which the protrusion amount toward the lid member 30 is increased).
In addition, the inclination angles of the inclined surfaces 54 and 55 are the same, and as shown by the two-dot difference line in FIG. When moving upward (upward), the elastically deforming portion 52 that is elastically deformed from the free state is deformed in a direction to restore to the free state, and the engagement portion 51 is engaged with the engagement receiving portion 53 in a large amount. By displacing in the direction A (by moving the engaging portion 51 in a direction approaching the engaging receiving portion 53), the inclination angle is set so that the engaging portion 51 is not separated from the engaging receiving portion 53. .
When the lid member 30 is in the midway position 30c, the engaging portion 51 and the engaging receiving portion 53 are in surface contact.

本発明実施例3では、蓋部材30が途中位置30cにあるときに、車両走行振動で蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して使用者の意思に反して閉位置30a側に移動した場合であっても、本発明実施例の比較例を示す図16に示す場合と異なり、係合部51と係合受け部53とが離れてしまうことを抑制できる。そのため、係合部と係合受け部とが離れた後に当たり合い異音が発生することを抑制できる。
また、傾斜面54、55の傾斜角度が、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30がハウジング20に対して車両走行振動で閉位置30a側に移動した際に係合部51が係合受け部53から離れない程度の傾斜角度とされているため、途中位置30cにある蓋部材30を開位置30bに移動させるとき、両傾斜面54,55が互いに滑るように移動する。そのため、係合部51と係合突起53との係合が外れる動きが比較的緩やかであり、操作フィーリング上有利である。
In Embodiment 3 of the present invention, when the lid member 30 is at the midway position 30c, the lid member 30 is moved toward the closed position 30a against the housing 20 against the intention of the user due to vehicle running vibration. However, unlike the case shown in FIG. 16 showing the comparative example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the engagement portion 51 and the engagement receiving portion 53 from separating. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of contact noise after the engagement portion and the engagement receiving portion are separated.
Further, when the lid member 30 whose inclination angle of the inclined surfaces 54 and 55 is at the midway position 30 c is moved to the closed position 30 a side by the vehicle running vibration with respect to the housing 20, the engaging portion 51 is moved away from the engaging receiving portion 53. Since the inclination angle is such that it does not leave, when the lid member 30 at the midway position 30c is moved to the open position 30b, both the inclined surfaces 54 and 55 move so as to slide together. Therefore, the movement of disengagement between the engagement portion 51 and the engagement protrusion 53 is relatively slow, which is advantageous in terms of operation feeling.
