ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to open a glove box in two stages with a simple structure. A stopper formed of an elastic member is fixed to side faces of the glove box. An inclined face is formed on a tip portion of the stopper. When the glove box is incorporated in the instrument panel and is opened, the inclined face is engaged with an opening edge portion incorporating the instrument panel so that the glove box is held in a half-opening position. Furthermore, when the glove box is rotated, a projection is controlled by the opening edge portion of the instrument panel so that the glove box is held in a full-opening state.
