Lid operating device and 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 cover opening and closing device that rotates and switches the cover between an open position and a closed position with respect to a corresponding surface of the main body (other than the opening, an operation surface such as a switch may also be used), and a small article storage device using the same. Background technique [0002] Figure 7 An example of a small-item storage device built into a vehicle console or the like is shown. The small article storage device 1 has storage recesses 3 and 4 formed on the left and right sides of the main body 2 , and is opened and closed by the covers 5 and 6 corresponding to the recesses 3 and 4 . The recess 3 is formed with a storage space that is larger than the recess 4 . The recess 4 forms an open receiving portion 7 on the bottom surface, such as figure 1 As shown, a sleeve (ソケツト) 8 is attached to the receiving portion 7 . The sleeve 8 is used as a power supply connect...

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
