Abstract

A storage box for vehicles having a box main body for the storage, a lid body supported by the box main body in such a manner that it can be opened and closed, and an inner lid disposed between the box main body and the lid body. With this arrangement of the storage box, it is possible to open and close the inner lid independently from the lid body. It is also possible to bring the lid body and the inner lid into engagement with each other in such a manner that they are movable relative to each other, so that the lid body and the inner lid can be opened and closed integrally. Thus, an inner lid is provided while eliminating any risk of adversely affecting the fitting of the lid body. The inner lid is also provided with at least one through-hole for receiving a container. A support member is rotatably mounted to the inner lid for supporting the bottom of the container.
