  Therefore, if the separator 6 is pulled forcibly while trying to remove the separator 6, the engagement holes 9 and the engagement claws 12 may be damaged.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 5B, if the dimensional tolerance between the height between the upper wall 7U and the lower wall 7D of the glove box body 2a and the height of the separator 6 satisfies a specified value, the glove box 2, even if a lateral force (F4) acts on the separator 6, the upper claw portion 13 a of the separator 6 is locked by the disengagement prevention rib 16 a provided in the step portion 8 Uc, so that the separator 6 is removed. There is nothing.

  However, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the dimensional tolerance does not satisfy the specified value and play in the height direction is large, or the glove box body 2a and the separator 6 are exposed to high temperatures due to solar radiation or stored small items. When deformed by a load or the like, when a lateral force (F4) acts on the separator 6 inside the glove box 2, the upper claw portion 13a of the separator 6 is not locked to the disengagement prevention rib 16a. There was a possibility that the separator 6 would come off.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide a fixing structure for a glove box partition plate that can be easily removed while securing a sufficient holding force, can set the holding force, and does not come off even when a lateral force is applied. It is aimed.

<how to use>
When the separator 6 is mounted, as shown in FIG. 10A, the separator 6 is mounted with the upper and lower engaging claws 13 and 14 of the separator 6 fitted in the guide groove 8Ua and the guide groove 8Da, respectively. When pushed forward, the front end portion of the upper flange portion 11U of the separator 6 and the front end portion of the lower flange portion 11D are fitted into the fitting groove 8Ub and the fitting groove 8Db, respectively.

  When the separator 6 is further pushed forward, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the claw tip 13b of the engagement claw 13 enters the side hole 17a of the engagement hole 17 of the groove ceiling wall 8Uau, for example, As shown by the arrow A1 in FIG. 9 (b), it is guided to the vertical hole portion 17b by the constituent wall of the engagement hole 17, and fits into the engagement hole 17 as shown in FIG. 10 (c).

  At this time, the upper claw portion 13a of the engagement claw portion 13 is guided by the pair of detachment prevention ribs 16a and 16a of the stepped portion 8Uc and is received in the gap between the detachment prevention ribs 16a and 16a. Is fitted into the engaging hole 9, and the protrusion 14b of the separator 6 is fitted into the fitting hole 15a of the stepped portion 8Dc.

  When removing the separator 6, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the rear flange portion 11B of the separator 6 and the like may be grasped and pulled out rearward in the insertion direction (F5). When it is difficult to release the fitting, it is easy to come off (F6) by grasping the vicinity of the upper end of the separator 6 and pulling it slightly downward (F6).

<Effect>
As shown in FIG. 11 (a), in addition to the engaging mechanism I that can be engaged and disengaged constituted by the engaging hole 9 and the engaging claw part 12, it is constituted by the engaging claw part 13 and the engaging hole 17. Detachable engagement mechanism
Since II is provided, the separator 6 can be held with a sufficient holding force as compared with the conventional example.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (a), when the user removes the separator 6, the rear end of the separator 6 such as the rear flange portion 11B is grasped and pulled backward in the insertion direction. Since a force can be applied by grasping a portion relatively close to the claw tip portion 13b of the engagement claw portion 13 provided at the upper corner portion of the edge, the engagement between the claw tip portion 13b and the engagement hole 17 is achieved. It can be easily released and the separator 6 can be removed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, not only the upper claw portion 13a is locked to the disengagement prevention ribs 16a, 16a, but also the claw tip portion 13b is locked by the vertical hole portion 17b of the engagement hole 17. Therefore, even if a force (F7) is applied to the separator 6 from the side, the separator 6 is not easily detached, and the engagement claw portion 13 of the separator 6 is lengthened in the vertical direction by a length h as compared with the conventional example. Therefore, it is less susceptible to dimensional tolerances and deformation of members.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), when the inclination angle measured from the vertical direction on the rear end side of the claw tip 13b is θ, the holding force increases when θ is decreased, and the holding force increases when θ is increased. Therefore, the holding force of the separator 6 can be easily set by changing the inclination angle θ.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, the groove ceiling wall 8Uau is provided with a substantially T-shaped engagement hole 17 at a position adjacent to the partition wall 16, and when the separator 6 is mounted, Since the claw tip 13b of the engagement claw 13 is guided by the engagement hole 17 to the vertical hole 17b at the center in the width direction of the upper groove 8U, the flexibility of the resin material is insufficient. The separator 6 is inserted between the upper groove portion 8U and the lower groove portion 8D in a state where the separator 6 is slightly inclined from the vertical direction because the distance between the upper groove portion 8U and the lower groove portion 8D is slightly narrow due to dimensional tolerance. Even so, the claw tip 13b can be smoothly guided and fitted into the vertical hole 17b.

  As mentioned above, although the Example of embodiment which concerns on this invention has been explained in full detail with reference to drawings, the concrete structure is not limited to this embodiment, and the design of the grade which does not deviate from the summary of this invention Modifications are included in the present invention.

  In this embodiment, the engagement hole 17 is formed in a substantially T shape. However, the claw tip 13b is a hole that is guided to the vertical hole 17b at the center in the width direction of the groove ceiling wall 8Uau. If it exists, it does not necessarily have to be substantially T-shaped.
