Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The automobile lid device capable of opening and closing an opening of an automobile interior component includes a lid body configured to open and close the opening by being attached to and detached from the opening; a first engaging claw arranged at a periphery edge of the lid body, the first engaging claw having an outwardly downward inclination section; and a second engaging claw arranged at a periphery edge of the opening having an inwardly upward inclination section. Faces of the outwardly downward inclination section and the inwardly upward inclination section are engaged as being mutually contacted such that the outwardly downward inclination section crawls under a lower face of the inwardly upward inclination section when the lid body is attached to the opening.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An automobile lid device capable of opening and closing an opening of an automobile interior component, the automobile lid device comprising: a lid body configured to open and close the opening by being attached to and detached from the opening; a first engaging claw arranged at a periphery edge of the lid body, the first engaging claw protruded from a back face of the lid body, a distal end side of the first engaging claw having downward inclination toward an outer side viewing from an inner side of the lid body serving as an outwardly downward inclination section having a predetermined length; and a second engaging claw arranged at a periphery edge of the opening, the second engaging claw protruded from a back face of the automobile interior component, a distal end side of the second engaging claw having upward inclination toward an inner side of the opening serving as an inwardly upward inclination section having a predetermined length; wherein faces of the outwardly downward inclination section and the inwardly upward inclination section are engaged as being mutually contacted such that the outwardly downward inclination section crawls under a lower face of the inwardly upward inclination section when the lid body is attached to the opening. 2. The automobile lid device according to claim 1 , wherein dimensional variation of the opening is absorbed so that the faces of the outwardly downward inclination section and the inwardly upward inclination section are prevented from being separated owing to that contact length between the faces becomes short when the lid body is attached to the opening in a case that the dimensional variation occurs at the opening. 3. The automobile lid device according to claim 1 , wherein height of the inwardly upward inclination section is set to be lower than the automobile interior component by thickness of the lid body so that the lid body and the automobile interior component become flush while the lid body is attached to the opening of the automobile interior component. 4. The automobile lid device according to claim 2 , wherein height of the inwardly upward inclination section is set to be lower than the automobile interior component by thickness of the lid body so that the lid body and the automobile interior component become flush while the lid body is attached to the opening of the automobile interior component.
