Abstract

A lid attached storage device includes: a box body having an opening; left and right lid bodies configured to cover left and right sides of the opening; and left and right opening and closing mechanisms configured to respectively cause the left and right lid bodies to be slidable in the front and rear direction and rotatable in the up and down direction with respect to the box body, each of the left and right opening and closing mechanisms including: a base member; a rotational support portion configured to support the base member so as to be rotatable in the up and down direction about a left or right side of the box body with respect to the box body; and a slide portion configured to slide the lid body in the front and rear direction with respect to the base member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lid attached storage device comprising:
a box body having an opening;
a pair of left and right lid bodies configured to cover left and right sides of the opening; and
a pair of left and right opening and closing mechanisms configured to respectively cause the pair of left and right lid bodies to be slidable in the front and rear direction and rotatable in the up and down direction with respect to the box body, each of the pair of left and right opening and closing mechanisms including:
a base member, provided between the box body and the lid body;
a rotational support portion configured to support the base member so as to be rotatable in the up and down direction about a left or right side of the box body with respect to the box body; and
a slide portion configured to slide the lid body in the front and rear direction with respect to the base member.

2. The lid attached storage device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the opening and closing mechanism further includes:
a rotation locking mechanism configured to lock the rotation of the base member with respect to the box body and release the rotation locking state; and
a slide locking mechanism configured to lock the slide of the lid body with respect to the base member and release the slide locking state; and

the rotation locking mechanism and the slide locking mechanism are provided in each of the pair of left and right lid bodies.

3. The lid attached storage device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the rotation locking mechanism includes:
a rotation locking portion configured to lock the rotation of the base member with respect to the box body;
a rotational operation portion configured to release the locking operation of the rotation locking portion; and
a rotation transmission portion, provided between the rotation locking portion and the rotational operation portion, configured to transmit an operation of the rotational operation portion to the rotation locking portion;

the slide locking mechanism includes:
a slide locking portion configured to lock the slide of the lid body with respect to the base member;
a slidable operation portion configured to release the locking operation of the slide locking portion; and
a slide transmission portion, provided between the slide locking portion and the slidable operation portion, configured to transmit an operation of the slidable operation portion to the slide locking portion;

the slide transmission portion and the rotation transmission portion have an overlapping region therebetween; and
at least one of the slide transmission portion and the rotation transmission portion includes an avoiding component configured to avoid an interference between any one of the slide transmission portion and the rotation transmission portion and the other of the slide transmission portion and the rotation transmission portion in the overlapping region.

4. The lid attached storage device according to claim 3 , wherein:
the rotational operation portion and the slidable operation portion are disposed at a front portion of the lid body; and
the rotational operation portion is adapted to be operated toward the rotational support portion of the lid body and the slidable operation portion is adapted to be operated from the front portion of the lid body toward a center portion of the lid body.
