A console box includes a box main body, a lid, a lock mechanism, and at least one push-up mechanism. The push-up mechanism includes at least one recess that opens in a side surface of the lid, a striker, and an urging member that urges the striker in an urged pivoting direction. The striker includes a first push-up portion and a second push-up portion. The second push-up portion is located on a trailing side of the first push-up portion in the urged pivoting direction, is separated downward from a lower surface of the lid in the closed state, and is brought into contact with the lower surface to apply a push-up force to the lower surface after a push-up action by the first push-up portion.

Console box

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.

A proximity air conditioner is capable of performing energy-saving and efficient air-conditioning. A proximity air-conditioning unit for vehicles includes: a housing; a temperature adjustment unit including a temperature adjuster and a blower; and ducts, wherein upper ends of blowout ports of ducts are located above seat surfaces of seats, end portions in a long-side direction of the blowout ports are located on a front side with respect to other end portions thereof in a front-back direction of the seats, and the temperature adjustment unit is disposed between both end portions in the long-side direction of each of the blowout ports.

Proximity air-conditioning unit for vehicles

The storage box includes: a box body having an opening toward a vehicle upper side; a fixed lid provided on a vehicle rear side of the opening; a movable lid provided on a vehicle front side of the opening; first shafts provided on a vehicle front side of the movable lid; a second shaft provided on a vehicle rear side of the movable lid; and a guide including first rails guiding the first shafts and second rails guiding the second shafts, to move the movable lid from a fully-closed position to a fully-opened position through a sliding operation and a turning operation. The second rails include slope portions guiding the second shaft so that the movable lid moves to an inner side of the box body relative to the fixed lid when the movable lid starts the sliding operation from the fully-closed position.

Storage 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 storage deviceincludes: a case member; a lid memberconfigured to change between a closed position, an opened position, and a half-opened position; a fin memberconfigured to be pivotally supported on the second end portionof the lid member; a cover memberconfigured to be positioned so as to be fixed relative to the case member, and to be disposed backward of the lid memberon the back side; and an urging member. When the lid memberchanges between the half-opened position and the opened position, the projecting tooth portionsof the fin memberare in sliding contact with the recessed groove portionsof the cover memberby urging force of the urging member

Storage device

A box apparatus for vehicles is disposed to a side of a seat and includes: a box having an internal space having an opening facing upward; and a lid having a lid body and a pivotal shaft integrated with the lid body and pivotally supported relative to the box, configured to open and close the opening of the box, and positionally changed between a closed position where the lid body is disposed above the box and closes the opening, and an opened position where the lid body is disposed at a side of the box and opens the opening. The lid body has an opened-position upper-surface portion becoming an upper surface at the opened position and a closed-position upper-surface portion becoming an upper surface at the closed position and becoming a side surface at the opened position, and a heating element is disposed at the opened-position and closed-position upper-surface portions.

Box apparatus for vehicles

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

A two-way-opening storage box includes a box body, a lid, a link mechanism, and a restrictor. The lid includes a base member, and a movable member. The base member covers the box body. The movable member is held onto the base member slidably. The restrictor is disposed in at least one of the base member and the movable member, and is capable of restricting the link mechanism from being actuated under such a condition as the movable member has fully slid, and/or under such another condition as the movable member is sliding

Two-way-opening storage box

A cup holder includes one or two supporting members that support a container inserted into a receiving portion of a holder main body, and is arranged in a circumferential direction of the holder main body. A container having the protrusion and recess pattern on a side surface can smoothly be taken out from the receiving portion with a low risk of the supporting members interfering with other members around the holder main body.

Cup holder

A member with skin includes a substrate, and a skin. The substrate includes a body, and a core. The skin includes a first skin segment, and a second skin segment. The body and core make a rear side-face section, which is disposed beneath a rear face of the core, within a side face in the substrate. The member further includes a stitching allowance, which is disposed to face the rear side-face section in the substrate, between the first skin segment and the second skin segment. The first skin segment covers a front face of the body, and a front face of the core. The second skin segment covers a rear face of the body. The member further includes ornamental stitches that are disposed at a boundary between a part of the first skin segment covering the body and another part of the first skin segment covering the core.
