ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for preventing a lid from being undesirably opened. The lid is rotatably coupled to a vehicle tray. The apparatus includes a spring provided under the vehicle tray; and a stopper provided under the vehicle tray. The stopper is coupled at one end to the spring, so that, when a force greater than a predetermined force is applied to the stopper in a direction away from the spring, the stopper overcomes the elastic force of the spring and slides to a position at which it prevents the lid from opening. One-way sliding sawteeth are provided on a lower surface of the vehicle tray and on an upper surface of the stopper. The sawteeth engage with each other when the stopper slides to the position at which it prevents the lid from opening, such that the stopper is prevented from returning to its original position.
