Abstract: A glove compartment lock device includes: a base member attached to a glove compartment; a knob member supported by the base member so as to be rotatable around a shaft portion between a closed position and an opened position; an arm member supported at a center portion in a longitudinal direction thereof by the base member so as to be swingable between a locked position and an unlocked position of the glove compartment and configured to come into contact with the knob member at one end portion thereof; and a spring member locked at one end portion thereof to the knob member, locked at another end portion thereof to another end portion of the arm member, and configured to generate a biasing force that rotates the knob member to the closed position and swings the arm member to the locked position.

Abstract: A breakable portion breaks, as a break start point portion, a portion in a vicinity of a center of a tip end side of a door portion away from a hinge portion on a rotation center side of the door portion when the door portion is opened. A breakable coupling portion in an area of the start point portion is disposed such that a width dimension between the breakable openings which are adjacent to each other in a plan view on a tip end portion away from the hinge portion is smaller than a width dimension on a base portion close to the hinge portion of the door portion.

Abstract: An airbag cover includes a base material, a retainer, an airbag cover main body, and a flexible skin layer. The door portion includes a door constituent portion of the base material, and a door support portion provided in the retainer and holding the door constituent portion. The retainer includes the door support portion, a peripheral edge portion disposed around the door support portion, and a substantially flat plate-shaped hinge portion disposed between the peripheral edge portion and the door support portion and bendable when the door portion is opened. The base material is provided with a space portion at a disposition portion of the hinge portion of the retainer, and the hinge portion is a non-disposition portion of the base material. A region of the hinge portion includes two layers of the hinge portion of the retainer and the skin layer bonded to the hinge portion.

Abstract: In structure for attaching, to an openable/closable lid, a lid lock unit including: a base member attached to the lid back side and having a base shaft portion extending in a predetermined direction; a knob member exposed on the lid front side, having a knob shaft portion shaft-fitted to the base shaft portion, and supported by the base member rotatably between a reference position and an opened position about the knob shaft portion; and an open/close mechanism for opening the lid by the knob member rotating from the reference position to the opened position, the base member includes a base extending portion extending in a direction crossing the predetermined direction, from a side opposed to the lid, and the lid includes a lid extending portion extending in the crossing direction from the back side of the lid and located adjacently to a predetermined-direction outer side of the base extending portion.

Abstract: A lock mechanism, includes: a rotor including a rotor rotation axis, a pair of rod connecting portions, and a pressure receiving surface; a knob including a knob rotation axis and a pressing portion; a locking portion including a pair of rods; a rotor urging member; and a knob urging member. During an opening operation in which the knob rotates from a normal position to a release operation position, the pressing portion pushes the pressure receiving surface while sliding on the pressure receiving surface to rotate the rotor from a lock input position to a release input position, and a length, obtained by projecting a sliding locus of the pressing portion on the pressure receiving surface on a cross-section in an axial perpendicular direction of the rotor, is not less than 0.8 times a length, by which the position of the pressing portion has been actually changed.
