Storage device for vehicle
A storage device for a vehicle includes a storage portion main body capable of storing things therein, a lid swingably supported by the storage portion main body via a shaft member, a biasing member for biasing the lid in an opening direction, a first damper capable of damping a biasing force of the biasing member to a first transmission member, and a second damper capable of damping the biasing force of the biasing member to the second transmission member. The biasing force of the biasing member is set to a force that allows the lid to swing in the opening direction from a fully closed position to a predetermined open position, and stops a swinging motion of the lid when the lid is in the predetermined open position.
1. A storage device for a vehicle, comprising:
a storage portion main body that is open in one face thereof and can store things therein;
a lid that is swingably supported by the storage portion main body through a shaft member, and can open and close at least a part of an opening of the storage portion main body;
a biasing member that biases the lid in an opening direction;
a first damper supported by one of the storage portion main body and the lid and configured to damp a biasing force of the biasing member;
a second damper supported by said one or the other of the storage portion main body and the lid and configured to damp the biasing force of the biasing member;
a first transmission member provided on either the storage portion main body or the lid such that the first transmission member is provided on the storage portion main body if the first damper is supported by the lid, whereas the first transmission member is provided on the lid if the first damper is supported by the storage portion main body, the first transmission member capable of transmitting the biasing force of the biasing member to the first damper when the lid is present between a fully closed position and a fully open position; and
a second transmission member provided on either the storage portion main body or the lid such that the second transmission member is provided on the storage portion main body if the second damper is supported by the lid, whereas the second transmission member is provided on the lid if the second damper is supported by the storage portion main body, the second transmission member capable of transmitting the biasing force of the biasing member to the second damper when the lid is present between a predetermined open position and the fully open position,
the biasing force of the biasing member being set to a force that allows the lid to swing in the opening direction if the lid is present between the fully closed position and the predetermined open position, and that stops a swinging motion of the lid when the lid is present in the predetermined open position.
2. The storage device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the second transmission member comprises a second transmission member gear portion which meshes with the second damper when the lid is present between the predetermined open position and the fully open position.
3. The storage device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the first transmission member and the second transmission member are integrally formed with the storage portion main body, and the first damper and the second damper are supported by the lid.
4. The storage device for the vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the second transmission member comprises a non-transmitting portion that cannot transmit a damping force of the second damper when the lid is present between the fully closed position and the predetermined open position.
5. The storage device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the lid is held in a self-supporting manner when the lid is present between the predetermined open position and the fully open position.
