Abstract
In a push-open type storing device for use in an automobile which enables a storing box to be locked in the shut position inside a housing in spite of the biasing spring pressure owing to the operation of a cam member on the housing side and a pin member on the storing box side and further enables the storing box to be automatically moved in the opening direction out of the housing through the opening thereof in response to a further push given to the storing box, the storing device with a safety function produced by forming a locking part and an outlet mouth as separated with a distance from each other on one edge side defining a cam groove of the cam member, integrally forming a projecting stopper guide wall between the locking part and the outlet mouth on the other edge side opposite the one edge side mentioned above, and allowing the locking part for securing the pinmember to be positioned outwardly from the stopper guide wall, enables the pin member to collide against the outer edge of the stopper guide wall and prevents the storing box from being thrust out of the housing when the storing device is exposed to a large inertial force.
