Abstract
In a storage apparatus for a vehicle including a lid which can rotate about a pivot, and a damper device having a cord-like connecting member and adapted to generate damping force against pulling force from the connecting member, wherein a connecting wire (the connecting member) is pulled, when the lid rotates in one direction, thereby to generate the damping force in the damper device, it is so constructed that a damping force control member having a guide face for the connecting wire is fixed to the lid, and when the lid has rotated in a direction of receiving the damping force, the connecting wire is wound around the guide face and pulled.
Claims4
A storage apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- a lid which rotates about a pivot;
- and
- a damper device including a cord-shaped connecting member, said damper device generates a damping force against a pulling force from the connecting member,
- wherein when the lid rotates in a direction, the connecting member is pulled and generates the damping force in the damper device,
- wherein a damping force control member, having a guide face for the connecting member, is fixed to the lid,
- wherein when the lid has rotated in a direction of receiving the damping force, the connecting member is wound around the guide face pulled, and
- wherein the guide face of the damping force control member has radiuses of rotation which have been adjusted according to rotation moments of the lid by its own weight at corresponding rotation angles.
A storage apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- a lid which rotates about a pivot;
- a damper device including a cord-shaved connecting member, said damper device generates a damping force against a pulling force from the connecting member;
- and
- a guide member, around which the connecting member extending from the damper device is wound, for guiding the connecting member to the damping force control member,
- wherein when the lid rotates in a direction, the connecting member is pulled and generates the damping force in the damper device,
- wherein a damping force control member, having a guide face for the connecting member, is fixed to the lid, and
- wherein when the lid has rotated in a direction of receiving the damping force, the connecting member is wound around the guide face and pulled.
