SOLUTION: In a housing box 3 constructed in such a manner that the instrument panel 1 of an automobile is provided with a recessed housing compartment 5 and a lid 6 for covering the housing compartment 5 to allow its free opening/ closing, a hook catch 8 bulged forward and having its tip bent upward is formed in the backside of the front end part 7 of the lid 6, and the tip of the hook catch 8 is put through an opening 10 formed in the upper side of the front face part 9 of the housing compartment 5, inserted into the panel 1 and hooked in a stopper 1 so as to be prevented from being displaced, a guide rib 18 having a receiving seat 17 is provided so as to be disposed adjacently to the car width direction edge of the opening 10, place the front end part 7 of the lid 6 on its upper end and support the same at a proper height.
