Lid operating device and small article storage device using the same

Abstract

A lid operating device for switching a lid between a closed position and an open position relative to a main body includes a first urging device for urging the lid from the closed position to a mid position before reaching the open position, and a second urging device for urging the lid from the open position to the mid position. A striker is disposed on the lid or main body, and a latching device is disposed on the main body or lid for engaging the striker to hold the lid at the closed position. The lid is automatically rotated from the closed position to the mid position by the first urging device, and manually rotated from the mid position to the open position against the urging force of the second urging device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lid opening / closing device that rotates a switchable lid at an open position and a closed position with respect to a corresponding surface of a body (other than an opening, an operation surface of a switch, etc.) and a small item storage device using the same. Background technique [0002] Figure 7 Shows an example of a small item storage device incorporated in a car console or the like. The small item storage device 1 has storage recesses 3, 4 formed on the left and right sides of the main body 2, and the lids 5, 6 corresponding to the recesses 3, 4 are used for opening and closing. The recess 3 forms a storage space that is one circle larger than the recess 4 . The recess 4 forms an open receptacle 7 at the bottom, such as figure 1 A sleeve (Soket) 8 is shown attached to this receiving portion 7 . The bushing 8 is used as a power supply connection for various devices that open and close the cover 6 according to...

Problems solved by technology

However, in this case, at first, the cover 6 should be rotated and operated against the active force in the opening direction, and it is necessary to form an operation finger rest portion on the top or front end side of the cover, because the existence of the finger rest portion will inevitably If the appearance quality deteriorates, and when a force is always applied to the cover in the closing direction, in the flexible wire (コド) that is electrically connected in the sleeve part 8, the insertion part into the recess 4 is tightly closed. Clamped tightly between the body 2 and the cover, it is easy to wear and deteriorate
