Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a container body, a lid member with an arm, a shaft, an urging member, and a slot. The container body has a top opening. The lid member opens and closes the top opening of the container body, and is held swingably to the container body. The arm extends downward from the lid member. The shaft supports the arm pivotably to the container body, and is fitted into the slot so as to pivotably hold the arm. The urging member urges the lid member upward. The slot extends up-and-downward. Moreover, the container body further has a receiver. The receiver is brought into contact with the lid member so as to support the lid member when the pivotably-supporting shaft moves relatively within the slot so as to move the lid member downward. Therefore, the arm and pivotably-supporting shaft hardly deform because no excessive load acts onto them.

Abstract: It is to provide a console box, in which a ventilation duct is integrated with the console box without using a slide core, thus suppressing the increase of costs and preventing dew formation in a box body.

The urging member has a fastened end, fastened to the cover body, and an engagement end, engaged with the guide, and is expandable and contractable for accumulating an urging force as the cover body opens and closes the opening. The urging force urges the cover body in at least one of occasions, when the cover body opens the opening and when the cover body closes the opening.

Abstract: A container holder includes a holder body, a cover, and a swing arm. The cover has a front end, a rear end, a first engager disposed adjacent to the rear end. The swing arm has a sliding groove extending in a direction crossing the up/down directions of the holder body, holds the first engager of the cover slidably and swingably with the sliding groove, and is held swingably to the holder body at one of the opposite ends. When the swing arm swings the cover from a close position to an open position, the swing arm lets the cover pass firstly a semi-open position, at which the sliding groove guides the cover so as to decline the rear end of the cover, and then lets the cover swing to the open position along with the swinging swing arm.
