Abstract

A console box includes a box main body, a lid, first coupling portions respectively provided at opposite end portions in a width direction of the box main body, a second coupling portion that is provided at at least one end portion of opposite end portions in the width direction of the lid, a lock mechanism, an operation portion, a guide portion provided in the box main body. The guide portion allows for a movement of the lid in which the second coupling portion moves from a position at which the second coupling portion is coupled to the first coupling portion at one end portion in the width direction to a position at which the second coupling portion is coupled to the first coupling portion at the other end portion. The guide portion guides the lid at the second coupling portion during the movement.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A console box, comprising:
a box main body including an upper opening; a lid that opens and closes the upper opening; first coupling portions respectively provided at opposite end portions in a width direction of the box main body; a second coupling portion that is provided at at least one end portion of opposite end portions in the width direction of the lid and is rotatably and detachably coupled to the corresponding first coupling portion; a lock mechanism that locks the lid at a closing position at which the lid closes the upper opening; an operation portion that is operated so as to cause the lock mechanism to release the lid; and a guide portion that is provided in the box main body and allows for a movement of the lid in which the second coupling portion of the lid moves from a position at which the second coupling portion is coupled to the first coupling portion at one end portion in the width direction to a position at which the second coupling portion is coupled to the first coupling portion at the other end portion, the guide portion guiding the lid at the second coupling portion during the movement, wherein, each first coupling portion includes a shaft receiving portion, the second coupling portion includes a rotation shaft that is rotatably supported by the shaft receiving portion and rotates integrally with the lid, the guide portion includes a guide groove in which the rotation shaft slides, the guide portion connecting the shaft receiving portions provided at opposite end portions in the width direction of the box main body, the lid is configured to rotate about the rotation shaft, which serves as a center of rotation, between the closing position and an opening position at which the lid opens the upper opening, the guide groove and the rotation shaft are configured such that the rotation shaft is allowed to enter the guide groove only when the lid is located at the opening position, the rotation shaft includes a first restricting surface, and each shaft receiving portion includes a second restricting surface that restricts rotation of the rotation shaft by coming into contact with the first restricting surface when the lid reaches the opening position.

2 . The console box according to claim 1 , wherein
the lid includes a first surface and a second surface, the second surface being located on a side opposite to the first surface, and the first surface and the second surface have different appearances.

3 . The console box according to claim 1 , wherein the operation portion is provided in the lid and is configured to be pressed into the lid.
