Abstract

Various electric equipment which are increasing more and more are accommodated in a glove box. The accommodating means has such a structure in which a computer C, a cellular telephone T and the like are fitted on rails provided on a glove box cover. By the fitting of those equipments, power sources and signals can be delivered (supplied) between the electric equipment and other various equipment provided in an instrument panel through connectors and cords. The delivery is performed under distribution and processing in a conversion substrate. A glove box lamp is attached to a substrate on a opening of the glove box so as to be connected to the current conduction path. A switch for turning on/off the glove box lamp is further attached to the substrate so as to be connected to the current conduction path. Respective lead wires of wire harness W/H are connected directly to the current conduction path of the substrate without interposition of any connector.
