DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case for storing objects, commodities and the like, and more particularly to a case for storing tools such as pliers, crimping tools, and scissors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a case of this type, a box-shaped case as shown in FIG. 6 is known. That is, an outer box 21 for accommodating the object (the crimping tool 23 in FIG. 6), and a partition member 22 provided inside to prevent free movement of the object in the box. is there.

Such a case has an advantage that the object can be securely accommodated in the box, and the object can be taken out freely by opening the outer box 21.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned case does not directly hold and hold the object to be accommodated by the exterior member constituting the external appearance of the case, the case may not be accommodated depending on the shape of the object to be accommodated. In this case, there are many voids in the accommodation space (inside of the box), and a large amount of glue is required, so that many components such as paper are used. Furthermore, the partition member 22 is provided to limit the movement and damage of the object.
Therefore, the number of parts increases, and many components such as paper constituting the entire case must be used.

[0005] Therefore, in the case of a box-shaped case, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high.

On the other hand, there is a sheath type as shown in FIGS. That is, the substantially rectangular component is divided into three equal parts in a strip shape, and the strip located at the center is made into a front piece 24, and both sides are folded back to form a back piece 25. The front piece 24 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and has an insertion hole 26 into which an object to be housed (the crimping tool 23 is shown in FIG. 7) is formed.

[0007] Such a sheath type case is formed by folding a single component member as shown in FIG.
4 and the back piece 25 directly hold the object to be stored, so that there are fewer voids compared to the box-shaped case. Further, since the partition member 22 is not required, the number of parts can be reduced. This has the advantage that the manufacturing cost is lower than that of the box type.

However, in the case of the sheath type, the insertion opening 26 having a size that allows the object to be easily inserted is formed in order to facilitate the accommodation and removal of the object. However, in such a case, there is a possibility that the stored object cannot be stored reliably, for example, the stored object is transported in a stored state, or the stored object jumps out of the case when the case is turned upside down. was there.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and makes it easy to store and take out the objects while reducing the manufacturing cost, and to surely store the objects. The task is to provide a case.

In the case having the above-mentioned structure, the front piece 3 and the back piece 5 are opened, the object is sandwiched between the front piece 3 and the back piece 5, and the sleeve 2 is fitted in the sandwiched state. As a result, the object is directly held between the front piece 3 and the back piece 5. Therefore, the space portion of the storage space is smaller than that of the box-shaped one, and the partition member is not required.
Further, by externally fitting the sleeve 2, the front piece 3 and the back piece 5 are pressed toward the object, and the object is held between the front piece 3 and the back piece 5, and The presence prevents the object from being detached from both sides of the case body 1. In addition, since the sleeve 2 is prevented from being displaced downward and coming off, there is no possibility that the front piece 3 and the back piece 5 are opened carelessly. On the other hand, by pulling out the sleeve 2 from above, the front piece 3 and the back piece 5 are easily opened. Here, “open” means that a part of the front piece 3 and a part of the back piece 5 are separated from each other to an extent that an object can be accommodated.

[0012] The case according to the present invention is described in claim 2.
As described, the bottom portion 15 of the case main body 1 may be configured to have a size that does not penetrate the inside of the sleeve 2.

The sleeve 2 is locked to the case body 1 by aligning the position of the hole provided in the case body with the tongue piece 7 provided in the case body 1 and then projecting the tongue piece 7 to engage the two. Will be. Therefore, even if only the sleeve 2 is gripped and the entire case is lifted in a state in which the object is accommodated, the sleeve 2 is prevented from slipping from above the case body 1 and there is no danger of dropping the object.

Further, it is preferable that a hook 4 folded inward is formed on an upper portion of the front piece 3 as described in claim 4.

By adopting the above configuration, the upper part of the object can be hooked on the hook 4, so that even if the case storing the object is turned upside down, the object is not There is no danger of slipping through and falling.

Further, if the case main body 1 and the sleeve 2 are made of paper as described in claim 5, there is a possibility that the case body 1 and the sleeve 2 may be subject to environmental problems as in the case of using polyvinyl chloride or the like. Not even.
