A console box includes a box main body having an upper opening, and a lid that opens and closes the upper opening. The lid includes a lid main body, a pivot, and an operation portion. The pivot is provided at one side in a width direction of the lid main body and couples the lid main body to the box main body. The operation portion is provided to correspond to the pivot, and decouples the pivot and the box main body from each other when operated. The lid is configured to be pivotal about the pivot and to be detached from the box main body when the operation portion is operated.

Console box

A double-doored lid apparatus includes: a box body; first and second doors; an opening/closing mechanism that opens and closes the first and second doors in conjunction with each other; a locking mechanism that locks the first and second doors in their closed states; an urging member that urges the first and second doors in an opening direction while the doors are locked by the locking mechanism; and a support member that transmits the urging force from the urging member to the first and second doors. The support member includes: a first support portion that supports one end portion of the urging member; and second and third support portions that start to come into contact with the first and second doors, respectively, before the doors reach a predetermined locking position during closing motions thereof, and that support the first and second doors when the doors are locked by the locking mechanism.

Double-doored lid apparatus

A rotary holder device includes: a vehicle interior member having an opening portion formed with a predetermined shape in an upper surface thereof; and a rotary body mounted on the vehicle interior member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis extending in a horizontal direction. The rotary body has a first holder portion and a second holder portion provided at rotation angle positions different from each other. The first holder portion has a first opening formed in a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape, and a first bottom wall facing the first opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the first opening. The second holder portion has a second opening formed in a rectangular shape, and a second bottom wall facing the second opening at a position at the horizontal axis side with respect to the second opening.

Rotary holder device

An air-conditioning register includes an operation knob. The operation knob includes a knob body and a cap with its downstream end portion closed by a lens. The cap is made of a material softer than those of the knob body and the lens. The inner circumferential portion of the upstream end portion of the cap is pressed against the outer circumferential portion of the knob body with at least a part engaged with the outer circumferential portion of the knob body by a projection-recess relationship. The inner circumferential portion of the downstream end portion of the cap is pressed against the outer circumferential portion of the lens with at least a part engaged with the outer circumferential portion of the lens by a projection-recess relationship.

Air-conditioning register

A decorative film includes a dark-colored opaque substrate, which includes a surface that includes an uneven section, and a transparent decorative layer, which is stacked on the surface of the opaque substrate and closely contacts the uneven section. The uneven section includes ridges and grooves, which are located between the ridges. The ridges extend in directions of the same tendency, and the grooves extend in directions of the same tendency as the ridges. A minute uneven section formed in the top surface of each ridge includes minute ridges and minute grooves, which are located between the minute ridges. The minute ridges extend in directions of the same tendency and have a narrower width than the ridges and the grooves, and the minute grooves extend in directions of the same tendency as the minute ridges and have a narrower width than the ridges and the grooves.

Decorative film

In an on-board display apparatus, a transmission type display device is provided in front, displays a touch switch display when necessary, and operates as a touch panel. The transmission type display device can be turned to be transparent, and an image display device is provided rearward of the transparent portion. Since the display screen of the image display device toward the back, the visual range is long, and visibility can be improved. Since the display screen of the image display device and the display screen of the transmission type display device are not on the same plane, even if the touch switch display is touched by a finger, an image can be seen, and a pointer can be displayed on the display screen of the image display device in a position corresponding to the touched position.

Display apparatus

An air-conditioning resistor has a panel member formed with an opening for an operating element and an airflow port, a retainer formed on the panel member so as to communicate with the airflow port and to define interiorly an airflow passage for allowing air-conditioning air to flow therethrough, a lateral fin pivotably supported in the retainer and being capable of adjusting the wind direction of the air-conditioning air in the vertical direction, a vertical fin pivotably supported in the retainer and being capable of adjusting the wind direction of the air-conditioning air in the lateral direction, and a spherical operating element which can operate the vertical fin and the lateral fin simultaneously and has a partial spherical surfaces arranged so as to project from the opening for the operating element.

Air-conditioning resistor and operating unit

A console box of the present invention has a box main body, a pair of sidewalls, and an armrest. The box main body is located between the sidewalls, and the armrest is located above the box main body. Each sidewall has a guide groove extending in the moving direction of the vehicle. The armrest has a pair of engaging pins. Each engaging pin is engaged with and slides along one of the guide grooves. Thus, the armrest smoothly slides along the moving direction of the vehicle.
