DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings according to embodiments and examples of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entirety of a universal carrier as an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the universal carrier shown in FIG. As shown in these figures,
The universal carrier according to this embodiment mainly includes a carrier main body 10.
And opening portions 11 on the front and rear surfaces of the carrier body 10.
And a plurality of shelves 30 which are detachably provided in the carrier main body 10. At the bottom of the vehicle body 10, one
, A total of four casters 12 are provided.

The opening 11 is defined by an upper frame portion 13, frame side portions 14 and 15, and a lower frame portion 16 of the vehicle body 10. At least the frame side portions 14 and 15 are formed of a magnet, that is, a material to which the magnet can be attracted, for the reason described later. A handle 17 made of, for example, a round bar member is provided at an appropriate height position on the side surface of the carrier vehicle body 10. The height position of the handle 17 is set to a position where an operator can easily grip the carrier to move the carrier. Further, channel-shaped shelf guide receivers 18 are provided on the inner side surfaces of both sides of the carrier body 10 at appropriate intervals.
Both ends can be freely inserted into these shelf guide receivers 18, and can be detached through openings 11 on the front or rear surface of the vehicle main body 10. The shelf guide receiver 18 is slidable so that each corresponding end of the shelf 30 is sandwiched between the shelf guide receiver 18 and the shelf 30 as described above. Also acts as a guide to guide the drawer to.

Next, a detailed structure example of the curtain 20 for opening and closing the front and rear openings 11 of the vehicle body 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the components of the curtain 20 side by side. As is well shown in FIG.
Is provided at the upper end of the curtain body 21 such that the curtain body 21 can be expanded from a folded state in which the opening 11 can be substantially completely opened to a state in which the opening 11 can be substantially completely closed. A support member 22 for suspending and supporting the curtain body 21 from a curtain mounting member described later, and a magnet member 2 provided at the lower end of the curtain body 21 and capable of adsorbing to the frame side portions 14 and 15.
3 is provided. In this embodiment, the curtain 20
Is a roll screen type curtain. The support member 22 is a round pipe.

The curtain mounting member is provided near one side of the frame upper portion 13 to receive one end of the support member 22 of the curtain 20, as best shown in FIGS. A first tubular body 24 and a second tubular body 25 provided near the other side of the frame upper portion 13 to receive the other end of the support member 22 of the curtain 20 are provided. These first and second cylindrical bodies 24 and 2
5 is formed of, for example, a metal material, and is attached to the upper portion 13 of the frame body by, for example, welding as shown by a reference numeral 40 in FIG.

As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3, the first cylindrical body 24 has one end of the support member 22 received therein, and the support member 22 is connected to the second cylindrical body. Body 25
A coil-shaped spring 24A is disposed as a shift member for shifting the spring 24A toward the front end. A receiving plate 24B for receiving the end surface of the support member 22 is attached to the front end of the spring 24A. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
As shown in the cross-sectional view, an adjusting screw 25A serving as a positioning adjustment member for acting on the other end of the support member 22 received therein to adjust the position of the curtain body 21 with respect to the opening 11 is provided. Has been established,
A receiving plate 25B that receives the end surface of the support member 22 is attached to the front end of the adjusting screw 25A. Further, in this embodiment, the roll portion of the curtain main body 21 is configured to be able to move left and right with respect to the support member 22.

Next, how to attach and detach the curtain 20 to and from the curtain mounting members 24 and 25 having such a structure and how to open and close the opening 11 by the curtain 20 will be described. First, in order to attach the curtain 20 to the curtain attachment members 24 and 25, one end (the left side in FIG. 3) of the support member 22 is inserted from the front end opening of the first cylindrical body 24, and the spring 24A is inserted. The supporting member 22 is pushed into the inside thereof against the shifting force of the second cylindrical member 25 (the right end in FIG. 3).
To reach the front end opening of the support member 2
The other end of the second cylindrical body 25 may be inserted through the front end opening of the second cylindrical body 25. At this time, since the roll portion of the curtain main body 21 is configured to be able to move left and right with respect to the support member 22, the mounting operation can be performed more easily. After the curtain 20 is mounted on the curtain mounting members 24 and 25, accurate positioning of the curtain body 21 with respect to the opening 11 can be performed by rotating the adjusting screw 25A to slightly move the support member 22 right and left.

In order to remove the curtain 20 from the curtain mounting members 24 and 25, one end of the support member 22 must be connected to the first cylindrical member 24 against the biasing force of the spring 24A in the first cylindrical member 24. The other end of the support member 22 may be detached from the large cylindrical body 25 by pushing it into the body 24.

The curtain 22 mounted and positioned on the curtain mounting members 24 and 25 in this manner.
In order to open and close the opening 11 of the vehicle body 10,
The lower end of the curtain main body 21 is gripped and pulled out from the roll portion wound around the support member 22, and magnets 23 provided on both sides of the lower end of the curtain main body 21 at appropriate positions are positioned on the frame side. It is only necessary to adsorb to the parts 14 and 15. FIG. 1 shows a state in which both lower ends of the curtain main body 21 are suction-fixed while a part below the opening 11 is open. Thus, the curtain main body 21 can be fixed to the opening 11 at an arbitrary position. When the opening 11 is opened, the curtain body 21
If the magnet 23 adsorbed by the frame body side parts 14 and 15 is separated by gripping the lower end of the curtain body 21, the curtain body 21 that has been drawn out is wound up toward the roll part. 11 can be completely opened.

In the embodiment described above, the curtain 20
Is a roll screen type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a blind type curtain 21A as schematically shown in FIG. Magnets 23A are also provided on both sides of the lower end of the blind curtain 21A.

[0020]

According to the universal carrier of the present invention, since the opening and closing of the opening can be performed by the curtain, it is easy to handle, lightweight, and inexpensive.

Further, since the curtain can be attached and detached very easily, the work can be simplified during assembly and cleaning.
