DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a large container integrally formed of a synthetic resin used for storing, transporting and storing various articles in large quantities.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a large container for accommodating, transporting, and storing various articles in a large amount, a nestable large container integrally formed of a synthetic resin is known.

[0003]

Conventionally, there is no effective means for taking out a large container located above from a nesting state in which a large container located above is fitted in a large container located below. It takes a lot of labor and time to take out a large container in a nesting state.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional large container and to provide a large container excellent in handleability.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention firstly provides fork engaging means for inserting or contacting a fork of a forklift near an opening of a large container. Secondly, the fork engaging means is an upper fork insertion hole formed in the upper part of the side wall, and thirdly, the fork engaging means is horizontally mounted. It is a rib.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments unless it departs from the gist of the present invention.

The large container B has a bottom 1 having a square planar shape.
And a side wall 2 inclined outward from the bottom 1 toward the opening of the large container B. From the upper end of the side wall 2, a flange 3 extending horizontally is formed outward, and below the flange 3, near the opening of the large container B, the entire periphery of the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 2 is formed. An appropriate number of horizontal circumferential ribs 4 are provided extending horizontally so as to surround. In this embodiment, two horizontal circumferential ribs 4
a, 4b are formed. For convenience, of the two horizontal full-circle ribs 4a and 4b, the upper horizontal full-circle rib 4a is referred to as a first horizontal full-circle rib 4a, and the lower horizontal full-circle rib 4b is It will be referred to as a second horizontal entire circumferential rib 4b. Further, below the first horizontal full-circle ribs 4a and the second horizontal full-circle ribs 4b, each side wall 2 except for the corner of the large container B is provided.
One horizontal mounting rib 5 is formed over a predetermined length in the width direction of the outer peripheral surface of the main body.

A vertical rib 6 is formed at a predetermined interval between the flange 3 and the first horizontal circumferential rib 4a, and the first horizontal circumferential rib 4a and the second horizontal circumferential rib 4a. Circumferential rib 4
b, and the second horizontal circumferential rib 4b and the horizontal mounting rib 5
The vertical ribs 7 and 8 are formed at predetermined intervals between them.

Also, at the four corners of the bottom part 1, there are formed corner girders 1a extending downward, and in the middle of each side of the bottom part 1 located between the corner girders 1a, there are also four corner girders. Intermediate digit 1b
Is formed, and a fork insertion opening 9 into which a fork of a forklift or a hand forklift can be inserted is formed between the corner girder 1a and the intermediate girder 1b.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a flange 3 and a first horizontal circumferential rib 4.
This is a reinforcing member made of a tubular square member or the like attached to a notch formed in the vertical rib 6 formed between the large rib B and the vertical rib 6 and is configured to reinforce the opening of the large container B. By arranging such a reinforcing material 10, when the contents are accommodated, the side wall 2 near the opening of the large container B can prevent the outside swelling phenomenon of the opening swelling outward.

Reference numeral 11 denotes, as an example, the second horizontal circumferential rib 4.
b, an upper fork insertion hole into which a fork F of a forklift formed on a side wall surrounded by a horizontal mounting rib 5 and a vertical rib 8 connecting the second horizontal entire circumferential rib 4b and the horizontal mounting rib 5 can be inserted. It is. This upper fork insertion hole 11
Are penetrated by two on each of the four side walls 2 of the large container B. Of course, only on the two opposing side walls 2,
The upper fork insertion hole 11 can be formed.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the main container B of this embodiment is empty, the upper large container Bu is fitted into the lower large container Bb. Nesting is possible. In the nesting state, the large container Bu positioned above is fitted in the large container Bb positioned below, and the horizontal mounting rib 5 of the large container Bu positioned above is placed in the nesting state.
Are placed on the flange 3 of the large container Bb located below, and the corner girder 1a and the intermediate girder 1b formed on the bottom 1 of the large container Bu located on the upper side It is configured not to abut on the bottom 1.

[0013] Such a large container Bu located on the upper side
Is fitted in the large container Bb located below,
When lifting the large container Bu located above from the so-called nested state, the fork F of the forklift is inserted into the upper fork insertion hole 11 formed in the side wall 2 of the large container Bu located above. Insert Thereafter, the fork F of the forklift is raised, and the large container Bu located above the nesting state is taken out from the large container Bb located below. Thus, with the simple configuration in which the upper fork insertion hole 11 is formed in the side wall 2, the large container B in the nesting state can be easily taken out without requiring much labor and time.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 corresponds to FIG.
Of the horizontal mounting ribs 5 formed on all of the four side walls 2, the horizontal mounting ribs 5 formed on one of the side walls 2 ′ are removed, and the other opposing side is formed. The horizontal mounting ribs 5 are formed only on the side walls 2 ″.

A state in which the upper large container Bu is fitted into the lower large container Bb, so-called,
Large container B located above the nested state
When lifting u upward, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface F ′ of the fork F of the forklift is brought into contact with the back surface 5a of the horizontal mounting rib 5 of the large container Bu located above, Thereafter, the fork F of the forklift is raised, and the large container Bu located above the nesting state is lifted.
From the large container Bb located below. In this manner, of the horizontal mounting ribs 5 formed on all of the four side walls 2, the horizontal mounting rib 5 formed on one opposing side wall 2 'is removed, and the other opposing side wall 2 "is formed. Only with the simple configuration in which the horizontal mounting ribs 5 are formed, the large container B in the nesting state can be easily taken out without requiring much labor and time.

As described above, in the vicinity of the opening of the large container B, the upper fork insertion hole 11 into which the fork F of the forklift constituting the fork engaging means can be inserted, and the fork which also constitutes the fork engaging means. With the simple configuration in which the horizontal mounting rib 5 to which the F can contact is arranged, the large container B in the nesting state can be easily taken out without requiring much labor and time.

[0017]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the following effects can be obtained.

A nesting state can be achieved by using a simple structure in which a fork of a forklift can be inserted or contacted near the opening of the large container without using a separate member such as a wire or a sling. Large container can be easily taken out without requiring much labor and time.

With a simple configuration in which an upper fork insertion hole is formed in the upper portion of the side wall without making a large modification or change to the large container, a large container in a nesting state requires a great deal of labor and time. It can be lifted easily and quickly without any need.

With a simple configuration using only the horizontal mounting ribs without making significant modifications or changes to the large container, the large container in the nesting state can be easily and without much labor and time. And it can be lifted quickly.
