FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an assembled container according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part showing the handle type connection structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the stacking structure of the assembly type container according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes an assembling container having a rectangular parallelepiped having a length of about 1 m, a width of 1.5 m, and a height of 1 m and having an opening at an upper end. Two side plates 12 and two living plates (side plates) that can be assembled into a rectangular shape in plan view on the pallet 11
13 and a pair of adjacent side plates 12 by operating the handle.
A handle-type connecting structure 14 capable of connecting the living boards 13 to each other. Hereinafter, these components will be specifically described.

The pallet 11 is fixed to an iron lower plate (frame portion) 11c assembled in a rectangular lattice and an outer peripheral portion of an upper surface of the lower plate 11c to secure a space for inserting a fork of a forklift truck. It has an iron girder plate 11b and a deck board 11a fixed on the girder plate 11b. The lower plate 11c has substantially the same size as the deck board 11a. This is the assembled container 1
This is because when stacking 0, they are fitted into the openings of the lower container 10 (see FIG. 3). Deck board 11a
Is a plate slightly smaller than the beam plate 11b. An iron thin plate 11d is extended on the upper surface of the deck board 11a. Therefore, the side plate 12 and the living board 13 are raised with their lower ends as guides on the peripheral side surface of the deck board 11a.

The two side plates 12 are each made of a steel frame 12a having an L-shaped cross section and an iron thin plate 12b lined. Shaft holes 12c penetrating both side surfaces are formed in the upper end portions of the frame bodies 12a on both sides. Further, on both sides of the upper end portion of each side plate 12, a handle type connection structure 14 is provided, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle type connection structure 14 has a downwardly U-shaped bearing bracket 16 fixed to the side plate 12. A pair of shaft holes 16a are bored at both ends of the bearing bracket 16, and a rotating shaft 17 is continuously inserted into the shaft holes 16a and the inner and outer shaft holes 12c of the hollow frame 12a. Has been inserted.

A U-shaped handle 18 is fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft 17 so as to straddle the bearing member 16 from outside. One end of the rotating shaft 17 is extended outward, and a short hook portion 17a bent at 90 degrees is formed integrally with the extended portion. Therefore, the phase angle between the hook 17a and the handle 18 is 90 degrees. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the two living boards 13 are each made of an iron-made frame 13 a having an L-shaped cross section and a thin iron sheet 13 b lined. The hooks 17a are respectively inserted into and removed from the upper ends of the frame bodies 13a on both sides of each living board 13, and the elongated holes (hook holes) 13 which constitute the other part of the handle type connection structure 14 are formed.

The pallet 11 and the side plate 12 and the pallet 11 and the living plate 13 are fixed to each other when the side plate 12 and the living plate 13 are started up. This is performed by inserting a pin hole formed in the lower part of the living board 13 into the pin. Thereby, the floating of the living plate 13 and the floating of the side plate 12 connected to the living plate 13 can be prevented.

After assembling the container 10 as shown in FIG. 1 in this manner, a predetermined storage material, for example, a large rubber lump, is put into the container 10 from the opening. Then, similarly assembled containers 10 (containing rubber) are stacked. At the time of stacking, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower plate 11c of the upper container 10 is fitted into the opening of the lower container 10. Since the pallet 11 of the upper container 10 is fitted into the lower container 10, the number of components of the container 10 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the opening of the top assembly container 10 is closed by a lid (not shown).
Thus, as a connection structure between the side plate 12 and the living plate 13,
Since the above-described handle-type connection structure 14 is adopted, the number of parts of the connection structure 14 and, eventually, the entire assembly type container 10 can be reduced. As a result, cost reduction can be achieved. In addition, since the handle is of a simple type, the operability of connecting and disconnecting the side plate 12 and the living plate 13 can be enhanced.
