Abstract
Locking structures each include a locking claw portion formed on a desired object, and a locking clamp mechanism formed on at least one of left and right wall portions of a console device. The clamp mechanism has a fitting hole portion formed in the wall portion for fitting therein of the locking claw portion, a locking support portion for lockingly supporting the claw portion fitted in the fitting hole portion, and a pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions formed on opposite ends of the support portion for preventing movement of the object between the opposite ends. The clamp mechanism also having a resiliently-deformable elastic portion formed integrally with the wall portion to extend into the hole portion for resiliently pressing the claw portion against the support portion.
Claims9
A locking structure for lockingly attaching a desired object to at least one wall portion of a center console device, which comprises:
- a locking claw portion formed on the desired object;
- and
- a locking clamp mechanism formed on the wall portion of the center console device, said locking clamp mechanism having:
- a fitting hole portion formed in the wall portion for fitting therein the locking claw portion of the desired object;
- a locking support portion for lockingly supporting the locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole portion;
- a pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions formed on opposite ends of said locking support portion for preventing movement of the desired object between the opposite ends, said pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions being disposed so as to simultaneously abut opposing sides of the locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole portion;
- and
- an elastic portion extending from the wall portion for resiliently pressing said locking claw portion against said locking support portion.
A locking structure for lockingly attaching a desired object having first and second opposite sidewalls to first and second opposed wall portions of a center console device, which comprises:
- a first locking claw portion formed on the first sidewall of the desired object;
- a second locking claw portion formed on the second sidewall of the desired object;
- a first locking clamp mechanism formed on the first wall portion of the center console device;
- and
- a second locking clamp mechanism formed on the second wall portion of the center console,
- wherein each of said locking clamp mechanisms have:
- a fitting hole portion formed in the respective wall portion for fitting therein one of the first and second locking claw portions of the desired object;
- a locking support portion for lockingly supporting the locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole portion;
- a pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions formed on opposite ends of said locking support portion for preventing movement of the desired object between the opposite ends, said pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions being disposed so as to simultaneously abut opposing sides of the locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole portion;
- and
- an elastic portion extending from the wall portion for resiliently pressing said locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole against said locking support portion.
A center console having a recessed section defined in part by a wall portion with a desired object lockingly attached to the wall portion by at least one locking structure, wherein each locking structure comprises:
- a locking claw portion formed on the desired object;
- and
- a locking clamp mechanism formed on the wall portion of the center console, the locking clamp mechanism having:
- a fitting hole portion formed in the wall portion for fitting therein of the locking claw portion of the desired object;
- a locking support portion for lockingly supporting the locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole portion;
- a pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions formed on opposite ends of said locking support portion for preventing movement of the desired object between the opposite ends;
- and
- an elastic portion extending from the wall portion for resiliently pressing said locking claw portion against said locking support portion.
A console having a recessed section defined in part by a wall portion with a desired object lockingly attached to the wall portion by at least one locking structure, wherein each locking structure comprises:
- a locking claw portion formed on the desired object;
- and
- a locking clamp mechanism formed on the wall portion of the console, the locking clamp mechanism having:
- a fitting hole portion formed in the wall portion for fitting therein of the locking claw portion of the desired object;
- a locking support portion for lockingly supporting the locking claw portion fitted in said fitting hole portion;
- a pair of opposed movement-preventing projecting portions formed on opposite ends of said locking support portion for preventing movement of the desired object between the opposite ends;
- and
- an elastic portion extending from the wall portion for resiliently pressing said locking claw portion against said locking support portion,
- wherein the at least one locking structure comprises a first locking structure and a second locking structure, wherein the first and second locking structures are opposed to one another across the recessed section of the console.
