Abstract
A hook of a lock structure is rotatably supported by a knob. Therefore, a biasing force of a hook biasing spring can be regulated independently from a knob biasing spring. Accordingly, the biasing force of the hook biasing spring can be regulated smaller than a biasing force of the knob biasing spring. As a result, sounds generated when locking the lock structure can be decreased.

An interior apparatus of a vehicle comprising:
- a container;
- a lid rotatably supported by the container so as to be rotatable between an open position and a closed position of the lid;
- a lock device for locking the lid to the container when the lid is at the closed position;
- and
- a lock releasing device, provided at the lid, for releasing the locking of the lid to the container, wherein
- the container includes a hook receiving portion provided at the container,
- the lock releasing device includes a knob of a push-type supported by the lid so as to be movable straight in a knob moving direction including push and opposite-push directions of the knob and a knob biasing spring for biasing the knob in the opposite-push direction of the knob, and
- the lock device includes a hook, rotatably supported by the knob so as to be rotatable along a plane parallel to the knob moving direction, having an engaging portion capable of engaging the hook receiving portion at a tip of the hook and a hook biasing spring for rotationally biasing the hook in a direction in which the engaging portion of the hook engages the hook receiving portion of the container.
