Each clipis fitted into a cutaway groove portionof a pedestal portionof each assembling portionprovided on a bottom surface portion of a console box. After that, a positioning bossis fitted into a long holeformed in an attachment receiving member, and at the same time, a fitting head portionof each clipis fitted into each long holeformed in the attachment receiving member. As each fitting head portionis fitted into each long holeformed in the attachment receiving memberand a boss portionslides in the cutaway groove portion. Each of a pair of elastic locking piecesis elastically locked with the periphery of each longer side portion of each long hole

Clip

A long hole of a seat plate member is fittingly inserted to a fitting head portion provided on an upper surface of a flat plate portion of a clip in an upright posture, so as to attach the clip to the cutaway groove portion with the seat plate member in contact with a flat plate portion, and the fitting head portion is fitted to a long hole formed in an attachment receiving member. As the fitting head portion is fitted to the long hole, the boss portion moves within the cutaway groove portion to bring the seat plate member into contact with the attachment receiving member and to elastically lock a pair of elastic locking pieces with the periphery of each longer side portion of the long hole.

When an operation wall of an inner member is inserted into an insertion portion of an outer member and an engagement piece does not receive a cam operation due to a slanted cam portion, contact pieces of the outer member do not correspond to a positioning hole of the inner member and are located in a position so as not to be inserted into the positioning hole. When the outer member is inserted into an attachment hole of an attachment receiving member with maintaining a state where the engagement piece does not receive the cam operation due to the slanted cam portion, the contact pieces are elastically deformed inwardly and located in a position so as to be inserted into the positioning hole.
