And the fixed rod (15) is attached substantially at the center.

Next, a method of using the folding container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. When the rear part (30) of the folded container in the folded state shown in FIG. 5 is erected, the lower side surface of the rear part (30) comes into contact with the rear stop part (41) of the rear storage surface part (4), In combination with the hinge (36) being mounted inside, the rear portion (30) does not fall backward and maintains an independent state. Then, raise the right side part (9) and lift it upward, so that the notch part (19) of the front and rear strut supports (7) and (7A) of the right storage surface part (6)
Then, the pins of the columns (20) of the right side portion (9) are fitted to each other to maintain the self-standing state, and the state shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. Similarly, after the left side portion (8) is erected, as shown in FIG. 4, each locking hole (24) of the left and right side portions (8) and (9) is inserted into each locking portion of the rear portion (30). (29) is fitted to the left and right side (8)
(9) and the back part (30) are locked together, and the folding container is assembled.

From the storage portion of the assembled folding container, the interior materials such as the holding plate (12), the upper plate (14), and the dust cover (16) are taken out, and the guide slit (11) of the holding plate (12) is taken out. Is stored in a state where it is fitted to the guide rods (11) of the left and right storage surfaces (5) (6) or the left and right side surfaces (8) and (9), and the product is stored in the holding portion (12B) of the holding plate (12). After placing the holding plate (12) on the product in the same manner, placing the product on the stacked holding plate (12), and placing the product on all the holding plates (12) The upper plate (14) is placed on the top product, the guide notch (11) of the upper plate (14) is fitted to the guide rod (10), the notch (12A) is fitted to the support (20), and the belt ( V) on the belt (V) on the back (30), and then on the belt stop (1) on the front storage surface (3).
Hang the belt (V) until 8), and pick up these upper plates (14),
The product and the holding plate (12) are firmly held, and the state shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. Then, insert the insertion ring (40) of the fixed rod (15) into the upper end of the column (20) on the left and right side parts, and put the dustproof cover (1).
6) (16) at the top of the back (30), left and right side (8)
(9) and the hook-and-loop fasteners (21) up to the upper end of the front storage surface (3) are attached and secured, and the upper plate (14) covers the product and the holding plate (12) firmly.

In this state, for example, the parts are transported from the parts manufacturing factory to the product assembling factory, brought to the production site side of the assembling factory, and the front part of the dustproof cover (16) is attached to the hook-and-loop fastener (2).
Release the lock of 1) and wind it up, remove the fixed rod (15) from the support (20) of the left and right side parts (8) and (9), remove the upper plate (14), and use the product for easy removal. .

When the use of the parts is completed, the dustproof cover (16) wound around the multiple holding plate (12), the upper plate (14) and the fixing punch (15) is placed on the storage portion of the bogie body (1). And store it. Thereafter, the locking portion (29) of the rear house (30) is removed from the locking holes (24) of the left and right side portions (8) and (9), and the left and right side portions (8) and (9) and the rear portion (30) are removed. ) And release the left side part (8) slightly upwards, and left storage part (5)
Release the lock of the pin provided on each support (20) of the left side surface (8), which has been locked to the notch (19) of each support (7) (7A), and the left storage surface Each support (20) on the left side (8) supported by the shaft hole (25) of each support (7) (7A) of (5)
With the long axis hole (22) as the center, the left side surface (8) is turned inward and overlaid on the dustproof cover (16) on the upper plate (14).
Similarly, the right side part (9) is folded down and overlapped on the left side part (8), and further the back part (30) is folded inward and overlapped on the right side part (9), resulting in the state shown in FIG. The container folding operation is completed. The folded containers thus folded are stacked and transported and collected. At this time,
The overlapping portion (26) on the stacking side is used by overlapping on the upper end of the front and rear strut supports (7) (7A) of the folding container.

In the above embodiment, the dust cover (16)
Has been described as an example made of cloth, but it may be formed of a lightweight plate, and the material thereof is not particularly limited. In the embodiment, the left side portion (8) is provided at a position slightly lower than the right side portion (9), so that the left side portion (8) is folded, and then the right side portion (8) is placed on the right side portion (8). Fold back the surface (9) and place the hinge (36) at a position slightly higher than the pivot position of the right side (9), and fold the back (30) on the right side (9) As described in the example, the left and right side surfaces (8) and (9) and the back surface (30) only need to be pivotally attached to the respective storage surfaces so as to be able to undulate, and the order of folding is not particularly limited. Also, the positional relationship between the heights at the pivotal support positions of the left and right side portions (8) and (9) and the attachment position of the hinge (36) on the rear portion (30) is not limited. In the above embodiment, the strut support (7)
(7A) is provided with a shaft hole (25) and a notch (19), and a long shaft hole (22) and a pin are arranged on each support (20) of the left and right side parts (8) and (9). Receiving (7) (7A) on left and right side (8)
Although the example of locking the column (20) of (9) has been described, it is preferable that the column (20) can be held up and down on the front and rear column supports (7) and (7A) while being held upright. These locking means are not particularly limited. In the above embodiment, the left and right storage surface portions (5) and (6) have been described as examples in which the front and rear strut supports (7) and (7A) having a substantially U-shape in cross section are provided. The left and right side surfaces (8) and (9) are hinged to the left and right storage surfaces (5) and (6) so that they can be raised and lowered by the hinges (36). It may be done.

[0020]

As is apparent from the above description, the folding container according to the present invention has various excellent effects in practical use as listed below. The folding container according to the present invention,
Since the storage part is formed in the bogie body (1), the interior member can be stored in the storage part. After use, the container body and the interior member are stored together and the interior member is lost. , Damage and the like can be prevented. Since the front and rear strut supports (7) and (7A) are provided at the four corners of the bogie body (1), the upright state of the right and left side parts (8) and (9) can be reliably maintained, and the folded container assembled And the guide rod (10) engages the guide notch (11) of the holding plate (12) with the notch (12A) of the support (20). (12) can be prevented from being shifted, and the product can be reliably protected and transported.
