Abstract

A storage device for vehicle includes: a storage portion of which one surface is an opening and which stores a storage item inside; a shaft portion provided in the storage portion; a lid swingably supported by the shaft portion to open and close at least a part of the opening; a coil spring that biases the lid in an opening direction; and a stopper integrally formed with the storage portion to restrict displacement of the coil spring when an opening degree of the lid reaches a predetermined opening degree.

Claims (21)

1. A storage device for a vehicle, comprising:

a storage portion of which one surface is an opening and which stores a storage item inside;

a shaft portion provided in the storage portion;

a lid swingably supported by the shaft portion to open and close at least a part of the opening;

a coil spring that biases the lid in an opening direction;

a stopper integrally formed with the storage portion to restrict displacement of the coil spring when an opening degree of the lid reaches a predetermined opening degree;

a bearing portion integrally formed with the storage portion to support the shaft portion; and

a lid arm portion that is a part of the lid and that is supported by the shaft portion,

wherein the coil spring is provided between the bearing portion and the lid arm portion;

wherein the bearing portion comprises a bearing main body which is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, through which the shaft portion penetrates, and on an outer periphery of which the coil spring is provided, a side wall portion raised from the bearing main body in a radial direction to face one end surface of the coil spring, and an outer wall portion extending from the side wall portion along the bearing main body to surround an outer periphery of the coil spring, and

the lid arm portion faces the other end surface of the coil spring.

2. A storage device for a vehicle, comprising:

a storage portion of which one surface is an opening and which stores a storage item inside;

a shaft portion provided in the storage portion;

a lid swingably supported by the shaft portion to open and close at least a part of the opening;

a coil spring that biases the lid in an opening direction;

a stopper integrally formed with the storage portion to restrict displacement of the coil spring when an opening degree of the lid reaches a predetermined opening degree;

a bearing portion integrally formed with the storage portion to support the shaft portion; and

a lid arm portion that is a part of the lid and that is supported by the shaft portion,

wherein a slit is formed in the bearing portion along a trajectory of the coil spring, and

an end portion of the slit serves as the stopper.
