Abstract

A sliding type glove box including a housing mounted to an instrument panel and a storage part provided in an inner space of the housing so as to be slidably withdrawn therefrom includes: a pair of outer rails arranged under the storage part and fixedly mounted to the housing; inner rails having lengths shorter than lengths of the outer rails and provided at the outer rails to move therealong, each of the inner rails being connected to a first-side bottom surface of the storage part in a longitudinal direction thereof; and a support part supporting a bottom surface of the storage part by being in contact with the bottom surface of the storage part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sliding type glove box comprising a housing mounted to an instrument panel and a storage part provided in an inner space of the housing so as to be slidably withdrawn therefrom, the glove box comprising:
a pair of outer rails arranged under the storage part and fixedly mounted to the housing;
inner rails having lengths shorter than lengths of the outer rails and provided at the outer rails to move therealong, each of the inner rails being connected to a first-side bottom surface of the storage part in a longitudinal direction thereof; and
a support part supporting a bottom surface of the storage part.

2. The glove box of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a pair of coupling frames allowing the outer rails to be mounted thereto, respectively, and
the support part supports the bottom surface of the storage part while being arranged between the pair of coupling frames.

3. The glove box of claim 2 , wherein the support part comprises a pair of support frames arranged in horizontal directions intersecting longitudinal directions of the coupling frames and connected to the coupling frames, the support frames being provided by being spaced apart from each other and in surface contract with the bottom surface of the storage part; and
rollers provided rotatably between the pair of support frames and in rolling contact with the bottom surface of the storage part.

4. The glove box of claim 3 , wherein the support part supports the first-side bottom surface of the storage part in the longitudinal direction thereof when the storage part is withdrawn from the inner space of the housing, and supports a second-side bottom surface of the storage part in the longitudinal direction thereof when the storage part is received in the inner space of the housing.

5. The glove box of claim 4 , wherein when the storage part is withdrawn from the inner space of the housing, the inner rail moves from a first end of the outer rail in a longitudinal direction thereof to a second end of the outer rail in the longitudinal direction thereof, and only a portion of a first side of the storage part in the longitudinal direction thereof is received in the inner space of the housing and a remaining portion of the storage part in the longitudinal direction thereof is exposed to an outside of the housing.

6. The glove box of claim 2 , wherein the support part comprises rollers provided rotatably at the inner rails, respectively, and in rolling contact with the bottom surface of the storage part.
