Provided are a storage device and a cover member for the storage device with which a gap that exposes an internal structure can be shielded without degrading design. In the cover body for the storage device, a gap is formed between an end section of a shutter and upper left and right surface decoration sections, the end section of the shutter on the gap side is formed by a shielding member, and the shielding member extends toward between the upper left or right surface decoration section and a frame-side rail and reaches a lower side of each of the upper left and right surface decoration sections.

Storage device and cover member for the storage device

A shutter is formed to be capable of bending in a sliding direction, and slides along a pair of guide grooves including a curved portion at one portion thereof, the guide grooves being provided on two sides, facing each other, of an opening of a device main member and a shutter storage side, to open and close the opening. The shutter includes a shutter base material sliding along the guide grooves in a state wherein corresponding portions fit into the guide grooves; and a hinge base material disposed on an outer face of the shutter base material. Also, the hinge base material is a sheet formed by a continuous fiber reinforced plastic or a sheet produced using a pre-preg material.

Shutter

A lock device includes a cam portion including a stationary-side cam; a rotor including a movable-side cam; a slide groove; a slide projection; an engagement projection; and a lock groove, in which the movable-side cam is disengaged from the stationary-side cam, so that the rotor rotates so as to allow the engagement projection that has been fitted in the lock portion to disengage from the lock portion. The urging device includes a spring, and a sleeve inserted to pass through a lower-side rod portion, positioned between the rotor and the spring, and also restricting a movement of the rod in a sliding direction in a lock position of the lock device (for example, a lock groove and an engagement projection, and the like).
