As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 18, the protruding portion 91 c is lifted downward by the spring 92 and the spring plate 91 b is lifted upward. When the pushing force of the operation portion 5 is released, the second movable side engaging portion 42 tries to advance, but the spring plate portion 91b is lifted upward by the spring 92, and the second movable side engaging portion 42 is moved upward. This prevents the arm 42e from advancing. When the right side of the lid 2 is open, the second movable side engaging portion 42 of the right lock device 33 is prevented from advancing from the lid 2. In the first movable side engaging portion 41, when the projecting portion 91c is swung downward, the jumping plate portion 91b is lifted upward, and the arm of the second movable side engaging portion 42 of the right side lock device 33 is moved. The advance of the part 42e is regulated. When the advancement of the second movable side engaging portion 42 is restricted, the advancement of the first movable side engaging portion 41 is also restricted.

  When closing the right side of the lid body 2, the lid body 2 covers the box body 1 with the first movable side engaging portion 41 and the second movable side engaging portion 42 retracted. The protruding portion 91c is pushed up by the rear member 13, and the jumping plate portion 91b is lowered. Thereby, the jumping plate portion 91b is withdrawn from the path of the second movable side engaging portion 42, and the second movable side engaging portion 42 can be advanced. The second movable side engaging portion 42 is engaged with the engaging portion 14 and is locked at the closed position.

  In the present embodiment, when the operation portion 5 on the right side of the lid body 2 is pushed in, the first movable side engaging portion 41 and the second movable side engaging portion 42 of the right lock device 33 become the first fixed side engaging portion 14. And the second fixed-side engagement portion 15 is released, and the locked state at the closed position of the lid body 2 is released. When the locked state at the closed position on the right side of the lid body 2 is released, as shown in FIG. 14, the first pressing holding portion 71 on the right side is raised by the urging force of the first urging member 73, and the lid body Push the right side of 2 up to the temporary open position. Although the lid 2 may not reach the fully opened first opening position due to the mass moment, the urging force of the first urging member 73 remains. The urging force of the remaining first urging member 73 reduces the load required for the operator's opening operation. Therefore, the operation of opening from the temporary open position to the first open position can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the lid 2 is opened to the first open position, the second press holding portion 74 on the left side rises, and the contact surface 74 b of the second press holding portion 74 is the back surface 2 d of the lid 2. It is latched by the second latching portion 26 on the left side that protrudes to the left. Thereby, the lid body 2 is held in the first open position.

  When the first movable side engaging portion 41 and the second movable side engaging portion 42 of the left side locking device 34 are fitted to the first fixed side engaging portion 14 and the second fixed side engaging portion 15, the first The distal end portions 41f and 42f of the movable side engaging portion 41 and the second movable side engaging portion 42 serve as a rotation axis when the lid body 2 swings. The lid 2 is opened to a direction close to the vertical direction and is positioned at the first open position. When the lid body 2 is located at the first open position, the center of gravity of the mass of the lid body 2 is located substantially above the rotation axis, so that the rotational moment of the lid body 2 is reduced. The inner side of the lid 2 facing the back surface 2d is held by the second pressing holding member 74 in a state where the lid 2 stands in the substantially vertical direction in the first open position.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the lid body 2 is in the first open position, the left side wall 22b of the upper member 22 of the lid body 2 has a protruding portion 12a on the left side of the box body 1 and the front member 12 and the rear side. It enters into the gap 16 formed between the left protruding portion 13a of the member 13 and is locked to the lower surfaces of the protruding portions 12a and 13a. For this reason, the lid body 2 is prevented from falling down outside in the left-right direction. As described above, when the lid body 2 is in the first open position, the pushing force of the second pressing holding portion 74 and the locking to the protruding portions 12a and 13a on the left side of the side wall 22b cause the inside of the lid body 2 and Falling outside is prevented.

  When the lid 2 is closed, the lid 2 is pushed down. The left second pressing holding portion 74 is pushed down by the lid 2. Next, the lid body 2 pushes down the first pressing holding portion 71 on the right side. The first movable side engaging portion 41 and the second movable side engaging portion 42 of the right lock device 33 engage with the first fixed side engaging portion 14 and the second fixed side engaging portion 15 on the right side of the box body 1. Thus, the right side of the lid 2 is restricted to the closed position.

  When the left side of the lid 2 is opened, the left operation unit 5 is pushed in, and the first movable side engaging unit 41 and the second movable side engaging unit 42 of the left side locking device 34 are connected to the first fixed side engaging unit 14 and the first fixed unit engaging unit 14. (2) The locked state at the closed position of the lid body 2 is released by releasing from the fixed side engaging portion 15. Then, the left second pressing holding portion 74 rises and pushes up the left side of the lid body 2. When the left side of the lid body 2 is opened to the second open position, the first press holding portion 71 on the right side rises, and the first press holding portion 71 on the right side in which the first press holding portion 71 projects on the back surface 2d of the lid body 2 25. Further, the right side wall 22b of the lid 2 is locked to the right overhanging portions 12a and 13a of the front member 12 and the rear member 13. In this way, the lid body 2 is held at the second open position by the pushing force of the first pressing holding portion 71 and the engagement with the protruding portions 12a and 13a on the right side of the side wall 22b.

  In this embodiment, when the operation part 5 on the right side of the lid body 2 is pushed in, the first movable side engaging part 41 of the right side lock device 33 is moved to the rear side. Due to the rearward movement of the first movable side engaging portion 41, the converting portion 43 is rotated, and the second movable side engaging portion 42 is moved. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the diameter of the second pinion gear 43b is larger than the diameter of the first pinion gear 43a. The distance between the rotation center 43c of the conversion unit 43 and the second rack gear 42a is longer than the distance between the rotation center 43c of the conversion unit 43 and the first rack gear 41a. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9, when the conversion unit 43 rotates, the moving amount of the second movable side engaging portion 42 becomes larger than the moving amount of the first movable side engaging portion 41.

  In this way, the first movable side engaging portion 41 and the second moving portion 43 are set so that the moving amount of the second movable side engaging portion 42 is larger than the moving amount of the first movable side engaging portion 41. The amount of movement of the movable side engaging portion 42 is adjusted. For this reason, the second movable side engaging portion 42 is separated from the second fixed side engaging portion 15 before the first movable side engaging portion 41 is detached from the first fixed side engaging portion 14. Can do. Therefore, the locked state in the closed position of the lid body 2 can be smoothly released.

  When the lid 2 is closed from the state where the right side is opened, the right side of the lid 2 is pushed down. While the protruding portion 91c of the restricting member 91 hits the rear member 13 of the box body 1 and is pushed up, the jump plate portion 91b is lowered to allow the second movable side engaging portion 42 to advance to the rear side. Along with this, the first movable side engaging portion 41 is moved by the rotation of the converting portion 43. At this time, the moving amount L2 of the second movable side engaging portion 42 is set to be larger than the moving amount L1 of the first movable side engaging portion 41 in the conversion unit 43. Therefore, when the lid is set to the closed position, the second movable side engaging portion 42 is fixed to the second fixed position before the first movable side engaging portion 41 is engaged with the first fixed side engaging portion 14. The side engagement portion 15 can be engaged.

  As described above, the lid body can be obtained by increasing the movement amount L2 of the second movable side engaging portion 42 despite the fact that the error amount of the moving distance of the second movable side engaging portion 42 tends to increase. When the operation unit 5 is operated to open the lid 2, the lock can be reliably released.

  Therefore, the console box 10 of this embodiment is excellent in the locking performance of the lid 2.

  In this embodiment, the conversion part 43 is arrange | positioned at the back side, and the length of the 1st movable side engaging part 41 of the front side is longer than the length of the 2nd movable side engaging part 42 of the rear side. On the contrary, when the conversion part 43 is arrange | positioned ahead and the length of the 1st movable side engaging part 41 of the front side is shorter than the length of the 2nd movable side engaging part 42 of the rear side. In addition, the first movable side engaging portion 41 and the second movable portion are moved by the converting portion 43 so that the moving amount of the second movable side engaging portion 42 is larger than the moving amount of the first movable side engaging portion 41. By adjusting the amount of movement of the side engaging portion 42, the lid 2 can be locked and released smoothly.

  The operation unit 5 is provided in the first movable side engagement unit 41 and is disposed at a position separate from the conversion unit 43. By disposing the operation unit 5 and the conversion unit 43 at different positions, the thickness of the lid 2 can be reduced.
