  According to this structure, even when the first lock member 22 and the second lock member 23 are supported by the common shaft 24 and integrated, the first lock member 22 and the second lock member 23 are moved in the vertical direction. The projecting portion 22f extending in the horizontal direction and the projecting portion 23f extending in the horizontal direction are crossed and engaged with each other by point contact to maintain the stationary state during the non-rotating operation. The operation plate portions 22d and 23d extending in the direction can be facilitated to be flush with each other, and even if the operation plate portions 22d and 23d are slightly displaced to cause a flush failure, the protrusions 22f and 23f are pointed to each other. By making fine adjustments to the height of the contact portion, the flushing can be easily performed.

  Further, since the pressing spring piece 23f of the second lock member 23 is loaded with a load at the time of the rotation operation, the first lock member 22 rotates when the lid 4 and the upper console box body 3 are opened. The operating force and the turning operation force when the upper console box main body 3 is opened by the second lock member 23 can be made substantially the same, and the uncomfortable feeling during the turning operation can be reduced.

  The lock member 21 is assembled by placing the inclined flat plate portion 23a of the second lock member 23 above the inclined flat plate portion 22a of the first lock member 22 so that the shaft centers of the shaft insertion portions 22b and 23b coincide with each other. This is done by press-fitting the common shaft 24 from the side.
