Abstract

A vehicular storage cover member covering an opening of a storage section of a vehicle includes a cover body, a buffer member, and a protection wall. The cover body has a plate shape having a back surface and is disposed such that the back surface is opposite the storage section. The cover body includes an opposing portion that is opposite a support portion of the storage section supporting the cover body. The buffer member has a mount surface with which the buffer member is mounted on a back surface side of the opposing portion. The protection wall projects from the back surface side of the cover body and has a projection dimension that is smaller than a thickness of the buffer member. The protection wall covers the mount surface of the buffer member.

Claims (23)

1 . A vehicular storage cover member covering an opening of a storage section of a vehicle, the vehicular storage cover member comprising:

a cover body that has a plate shape having a back surface and is disposed such that the back surface is opposite the storage section, the cover body including an opposing portion that is opposite a support portion of the storage section supporting the cover body;

a buffer member having a mount surface with which the buffer member is mounted on a back surface side of the opposing portion; and

a protection wall projecting from the back surface side of the cover body and having a projection dimension that is smaller than a thickness of the buffer member, the protection wall covering the mount surface of the buffer member.

2 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 1 , wherein

the opposing portion includes a mount portion where the buffer member is mounted, and

the mount portion includes a projection portion on which the buffer member is mounted and the projection portion projects such that an outer surface of the buffer member that is an opposite surface from the mount surface is disposed on an outer side than the protection wall.

3 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 1 , wherein

the vehicular storage cover member is configured to cover the opening of the storage section by a sliding operation along the opening of the storage section, and

the protection wall extends at least in a direction crossing a direction of the sliding operation.

4 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 1 , wherein the protection wall includes a front protection wall that is on a vehicular front side of the buffer member and a rear protection wall that is on a vehicular rear side of the buffer member.

5 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 1 , wherein the protection wall extends around the buffer member.

6 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 2 , wherein the protection wall projects further than the projection portion.

7 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 1 , wherein

the protection wall includes protection walls, and

the opposing portion includes a recess that is defined by the protection walls and in which the buffer member is arranged.

8 . The vehicular storage cover member according to claim 1 , wherein

the buffer member includes buffer members,

the protection wall includes protection walls,

the cover body includes a first portion having a first thickness and a second portion having a second thickness and the first thickness is greater than the second thickness,

the opposing portion includes a first opposing portion that is a portion of the first portion and a second opposing portion that is a portion of the second portion,

the first opposing portion includes a recess in the back surface in which one of the buffer members is arranged and some of the protection walls extend from the back surface as side walls of the recess, and

other ones of the protection walls project from the back surface of the second opposing portion and another one of the buffer members is arranged between the other ones of the protection walls.
