Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily perform operation when the taking out/storage operation of a storage article is performed through an opened glove compartment opening and to easily perform operation relative to a lid body for closing the glove compartment opening even when a cabin is dark at night in a glove compartment device. SOLUTION: In such a state that the lid body 26 is opened, the glove compartment opening can be illuminated by a lighting unit 36. In such a state as closed, an irradiation light of the lighting unit 36 can be reached to a cabin 2 side while passing through a clearance 41 between a lower end part 35a of an upper part opening edge part 35 of the glove compartment opening 21 and an upper end part 26a of the lid body 26. The lighting unit 36 is constituted by a lengthy light-leading body extending along a position neighboring to an upper side of the upper end part 26a of the lid body 26 for closing the glove compartment opening 21, and at least a portion of the upper part opening edge part 35 is constituted by a transparent body. A recession part 38 is formed at an inner side of the upper part opening edge part 35, a midway part in a longitudinal direction of the lighting unit 36 is fitted to the recession part 38 and is engaged with the upper part opening edge part 35.
