  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the door 30 is opened and closed as the door 30 rotates about the separate arm rotation center 43X while the door 30 rotates about the door rotation center 30X. (The movement locus of the door rotation center 30X is indicated by a one-dot chain line 35). The separate arm 42 is attached with a spring (not shown) that biases the door 30 in the opening direction when the closed door 30 is pressed from above the box.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the door 30 has a two-piece structure including a door outer 32 disposed on the upper surface side of the door closed state and a door inner 34 disposed on the lower surface side of the door closed state. As shown in FIG. 4, when the door 30 is fully opened, the upper end portion 26A of the fixed side wall 26 and the lower end portion 34A of the door inner 34 face each other in the proximity position, and the general surface 26B of the fixed side wall 26 and the door inner 34 The door 30 is set so that the general surface 34B is aligned substantially continuously.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the door outer 32 of the door 30 is a box with the door 30 disposed in the base end portion 32A on the side where the door inner 34 is not attached, that is, the door storage portion 24. A base end portion 32 </ b> A of the door 30 disposed on the lower side is bent inward of the box body 20.

(Structure of the main part of the accessory case 16 with a door)
The base end portion 32A of the door 30 and the upper end portion 26A of the fixed sidewall 26 are connected to each other by a shielding member 52 made of a flexible cloth material. That is, the shielding member 52 is configured by cutting a cloth material into a strip shape, and one end portion 52A thereof is fixed to the lower surface of the base end portion 32A of the door 30 by adhesion or the like. Further, the other end portion 52B of the shielding member 52 is fixed to the inner side surface in the vehicle width direction of the upper end portion 26A of the fixed side wall 26 by adhesion or the like. However, the fixing method of the shielding member 52 is not necessarily limited to adhesion, and a fixing method such as sewing or screw fastening may be employed.

  Further, the length of the shielding member 52 is such that the portion of the shielding member 52 attached to the fixed side wall 26 (the other end 52B) and the portion of the shielding member 52 attached to the door 30 when the door is fully closed (shown in FIG. 6). The distance A to the (one end 52A) is determined by attaching the shielding member 52 to the fixed side wall 26 (the other end 52B) and the shielding member 52 to the door 30 when the door is fully opened (as shown in FIG. 8). It is set to be equal to or longer than the distance B with the other end 52B).

(Operation and effect of this embodiment)
Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment will be described.

  When the accessory 54 such as a pen is put into the accessory storage unit 22 of the door-attached storage case 16 (and when the accessory 54 is taken out from the accessory storage unit 22), the door 30 is moved from the fully closed position shown in FIG. The opening 20A of the accessory storage unit 22 is opened by rotating in the fully open position direction shown in FIG. Thereby, the accessory storage part 22 provided in the box main body 20 is open | released, and the accessory 54 can be put in it. At this time, at least a part of the opened door 30 (in this embodiment, the lower portion of the door 30 as shown in FIG. 8) is accommodated in a door accommodating portion 24 provided in the box body 20.

  Here, in the accessory case 16 with the door according to the present embodiment, the height of the fixed side wall 26 is set so as not to interfere with the rotation trajectory of the door 30. The accessory 54 may move over the fixed side wall 26 from the accessory storage part 22 side and move to the door storage part 24 side. In this case, if the shielding member 52 does not exist, the accessory 54 may fall into the door storage portion 24 from the gap 50, and the opening / closing operation of the door 30 may be hindered. Is shielded by the shielding member 52, the accessory 54 is unlikely to fall into the door storage portion 24.

  Further, when the door 30 is closed, even if the accessory 54 moves downward in the door storage portion 24 with the accessory 54 still falling on the U-shaped shielding member 52 when the door is opened, In the process of returning from the state in which the shielding member 52 is deformed to the U shape to the original state in which the shielding member 52 is tensioned, the accessory 54 is pushed back to the accessory storage unit 22 side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, in the door closed state, the accessory 54 gets over the fixed side wall 26 from the accessory storage portion 22 side due to vehicle body vibration or the like when the vehicle travels, and the door storage portion 24. If it tries to fall to the side, the movement of the accessory 54 is restricted on the other end portion 52B side of the shielding member 52, so that the other end portion 52B of the shielding member 52 on the upper end portion 26A of the fixed side wall 26 or from the upper end portion 26A. Located closer. In this state, as shown in FIG. 7, when the door 30 is opened, the shielding member 52 is bent into a U shape, and the accessory 54 is held at the bottom. In terms of position, the accessory 54 has entered the door storage unit 24.

  If the door 30 is further opened from this state to the fully open state shown in FIG. 8, the shielding member 52 is deformed into the narrowest U-shape, and the accessory 54 also moves to the lowest position. However, the accessory 54 is merely displaced downward with the deformation of the shielding member 52 and does not fall into the door storage portion 24.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, when the door 30 is closed again from the fully opened state of FIG. A certain amount of tension is returned to the member 52, and the accessory 54 is pushed back to the accessory storage unit 22 side and stored by the shielding member 52 to which the tension is applied.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the gap 50 is shielded by connecting the upper end portion 26A of the fixed side wall 26 and the base end portion 32A of the door 30 with the flexible deformable shielding member 52, the accessory 54 is the door. Even if it falls into the storage part 24, it can prevent that the accessory 54 falls into the door storage part 24 by pushing back the said accessory 54, and it can prevent that the malfunction of the door 30 generate | occur | produces by extension.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the distance A between the attachment part of the shielding member 52 to the fixed side wall 26 when the door is fully closed and the attachment part of the shielding member 52 to the door 30 is the shielding to the fixed side wall 26 when the door is fully opened. Since the distance B between the attachment portion of the member 52 and the attachment portion of the shielding member 52 to the door 30 is set to be greater than or equal to B, the shielding member 52 is completely stretched before the door 30 is fully opened, It is avoided that the door 30 does not open (that is, the door 30 cannot be opened to the fully open position). As a result, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the door 30 from being prevented from being fully opened.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the cloth material is used as the shielding member 52, it is not bulky and the weight hardly increases. Therefore, it can contribute to cost reduction and weight reduction.

  In the present embodiment, the upper end portion 26A of the fixed side wall 26 and the base end portion 32A of the door 30 are connected by a shielding member 52 that can be flexibly deformed, thereby shielding the gap 50 and dropping toward the accessory storage portion 24 side. Since the applied accessory 56 is pushed back to the accessory storage unit 22 side using the opening / closing operation of the door 30, the accessory 54 can be easily pushed back even when the accessory 54 is relatively accumulated in the accessory storage unit 22. Can do.
