In the figure, 1 is a storage container in the shape of a rectangular tray having a width of 47 cm and a height of 33 cm, which is made of a synthetic resin, and 3 is a storage part in which the storage items in the storage container 1 are placed, and 3 is a storage part 2.
Circular convex step portions 4 formed on the outer periphery of the accommodating container and having a back surface as a space for engaging when stacking the storage containers in the vertical direction are continuously formed on the inner peripheral wall of the circular convex step portion 3 at intervals of about 5 mm. An engaging portion 5 formed of a concave and convex portion is a first partition plate which is detachably engaged by being inserted between the opposite short sides of the storage container 1, and both ends of the partition plate 5 are of the engaging portion 4. Engaging portions 6 each having a shape engaging with the vertical groove and facing both sides of the engaging portion 4 are formed of uneven portions having the same shape and pitch as the engaging portion 4. Reference numeral 7 is detachably engaged by being inserted between the circumferential convex step portion 3 of the storage container 1 and the engaging portion 6 of the first partition plate 5 or between the engaging portions 6 of the first partition plate 5. It is a second partition plate to be combined. 8 has a thickness of about 2 to protect stored items
It is a conductive sponge of mm and is attached to the entire storage portion 2 of the storage container 1 by a double-sided adhesive tape or the like.

As a method of using the storage container 1 of the present invention having such a structure, both ends of the first partition plate 5 are located at positions of about one-third of the opposite short sides of the storage container 1. Insert into the engaging part 4 from above. Similarly, the second first partition plate 5
Both ends of the above are inserted from above into the engaging portions 4 which are at positions of about two-thirds of the opposite short sides of the storage container 1. Then, both ends of the twelve second partition plates 7 are inserted into the engaging portions 4 and 6 at positions where the long side of the storage container 1 and the first partition plate 5 are divided into about 5 equal parts. . As a result, the storage part 2 of the storage container 1 is divided into 15 parts, and it is possible to preferably store small items such as a liquid crystal display panel. The cushioning property of the conductive sponge 8 absorbs the shock and allows the stored items to be safely put in and taken out, and the non-slip effect allows the stored items to be stored in a stable state without slipping even when the storage container 1 is swung or inclined due to transportation or the like. It is placed on the container 1.

FIG. 2 is a second embodiment in which the form of the conductive sponge 8 in the first embodiment described above is arranged, and three first partition plates 5 and two second partition plates 7 are provided. The storage section 2 is divided into 12 by using a book, and the conductive sponge 9 having a small diameter is adhered to the storage container 1 in each of the divided areas by using a double-sided adhesive tape or the like.

In the first embodiment described above, since the first partition plate 5 and the second partition plate 7 are arranged on the conductive sponge, it is easy to partition the storage section 2. Although it can be changed, the partition plate is lifted from the surface of the storage part 2 by the thickness of the conductive sponge 8. Therefore, if the storage part 2 is made shallow, the engagement of the partition plate becomes shallow. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, although it takes time and labor to dispose the conductive sponge 9 finely and to replace the conductive sponge each time the partitioning method of the storage section 2 is changed, the partition plate is Since it comes into contact with the surface of the storage portion, the partition plate is reliably engaged even if the storage portion is made shallow.

By forming every 11 pieces, it is possible to engage with each other without making a mistake in the positions of the grooves that are continuously provided at fine intervals.

In this way, the plurality of first partition plates 5
By preparing the second partition plate 7 of several lengths, the storage container 1 of the present embodiment preferably stores one 15-inch liquid crystal display panel when the partition plate is not used. By appropriately dividing, 20 or more 2-inch liquid crystal display panels can be stored.

[0014]

According to the storage container of the present invention, however, the inner peripheral wall of the storage portion is formed with engaging portions at regular intervals, and the inner peripheral walls facing each other have the engaging portions on both sides. Partitioning is possible by interposing a plurality of first partition plates, and further, between the inner wall of the storage part and the first partition plate, or between the first partition plates and the engaging part of the inner wall of the storage part and the first partition plate. One or a plurality of second partition plates that are engaged with the engaging portions of one partition plate can be freely partitioned, and the desired width of the storage section can be selected according to the width and shape of the stored items. Since it can be divided into different shapes, it is not necessary to prepare different storage containers for different types of stored items having different widths and shapes, or for each manufacturing process, and one storage container can be used by using two types of partition plates. It can be used for almost all stored items, improving productivity and reducing costs. It is intended to contribute greatly.

Further, the inner peripheral wall of the storage portion and the engaging portion formed on the first partition plate are uneven portions of the same shape formed at equal intervals, and the concave portion has both ends of the first partition plate or the second partition plate. By locking both ends of the plate, the first partition plate is engaged with the engaging part of the inner peripheral wall of the storage part, and the second partition plate is engaged with these, so that the storage part is desired.
