ABSTRACT:
A console box for an automobile divided into first and second blocks. A first block is secured to an automotive body and comprises an inward flange formed at the upper edge of its opening, and a boss on the inner surfaces of two side skirt portions of the opening of the first block having an upper generally horizontal flat surface. A second block is provided with an upward groove formed in an extending flange at the upper end of the opening of the second block for closely engaging the inward flange of the first block. The second block further has L-shaped guide ribs having at the rear, a downward flat portion contacting closely with the upper flat portion of the bosses of the first block. The blocks are coupled by engaging the downward flange and the upward groove, contacting the upper flat portion of the bosses and the downward flat portion of the guide ribs and screw clamping the superposed portions of the openings of the blocks. Thus, the console box improves workability during assembly. Further, the positioning of the blocks in longitudinal, elevational and transverse directions during assembly is simply and readily achieved merely by coupling the blocks.
