摘要

With the lid opening/closing apparatus which makes it possible to open or close the lid (2) of a console box of an automobile from either side, the disengagement of the lid body which may occur when the lid body is opened can be prevented, and the setting of the operation force and operation stroke can be made simply. The lid opening/closing apparatus consists of two pairs of hinge pins (11a, 11b, 12a, 12b) which are disposed to freely project or retract by aligning respective axis with both positions in right and left directions at both end face of the front and rear directions of the lid body (2) and engaged freely rotatably with the axis bearing hole formed in the inner face of the edge (1a) of the opening to which the lid body is mounted with the hinge pins in the projected state, energizing members (13a, 13b, 14a, 14b) which are disposed within the lid body and energize these hinge pins in the projecting directions, and two operation buttons (15, 16) which are mounted on the lid body to be freely slidable to correspond to each pair of the hinge pins. It is provided with engaging members (19, 20) which engage with the operation buttons pushed to the engaging position before the engagement releasing position where the engagement of the hinge pins is released and prevent the sliding toward outside, and rod (21) which prevents the other operation button from sliding to the inside beyond the engagement releasing position by contacting both ends of the rod with the inner faces of the two operation buttons when one of the operation buttons slides to the engaging position. <IMAGE>
