[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an identification card affixing for a transporting container which is constructed so that a plurality of articles can be stacked vertically in the stacking state when the articles are stored and can be stacked vertically in the nesting state when the articles are empty. It is about structure. More specifically, an identification card is attached to the outer surface of the shipping container used for the flow work in the factory or the sorting work in distribution, etc., to identify the name of the contents stored inside, the destination, etc. The present invention relates to a structure for attaching an identification card to a transporting container that enables it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a container body which constitutes this kind of transport container has a rectangular box shape with a bottom, and a pair of opposed long and short side walls are formed in a taper shape which widens upward. . Leg portions are provided on the outer surface of each side wall of the container body, and pockets are provided on the inner surface of each side wall at positions corresponding to the leg portions.

The plurality of container bodies are arranged in the same direction so that the upper and lower container bodies have the same positional relationship with each other as to the leg portions and pockets, and the upper container body is inserted into the lower container body. By doing so, they are vertically stacked in a nesting state. At this time, the leg portion of the upper container body is accommodated in the pocket of the lower container body, and space saving is achieved when the container body is empty.

Further, the upper or lower container body is rotated by 180 degrees in a plane so that the respective leg portions and pockets have different positional relations from each other, and the direction of the pair of upper and lower container bodies is reversed to lower the container body. By placing the upper container body on the container body, a plurality of containers are stacked vertically in a stacking state. At this time, the upper container body is supported by the legs of the lower container body, and an accommodation space for accommodating an object is held in each container body.

On the other hand, an attachment portion is provided on the outer surface of the short side wall of each side wall of the container body so as to avoid the legs. A holder is attached to the attachment part for supporting an identification card on which the name of the contents contained in the container body, the destination of the conveyance, etc. are described. The holder is made of a synthetic resin and has a plate-shaped substrate and a clip projecting on the outer surface of the substrate in a substantially L-shaped cross section. This holder is joined to the container body by adhering or welding the inner surface of the substrate to the outer surface of the short side wall. And
By sandwiching the identification card between the substrate and the clip, the identification card is supported by the holder, and the identification card is attached to the attachment portion via the holder.

[0006]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional container for transportation, the holder securely supports the identification card, and the clip is not broken or damaged by an external impact or the like. As described above, the overall thickness is formed thick. Therefore, if the holder is joined to the outer surface of the short side wall as it is, the clip of the holder, in particular, protrudes greatly from the outer surface of the short side wall and may be caught on the inner surface of another container main body, making it impossible to stack the container main bodies in a nesting state. is there. Therefore, as a transportation container that can be stacked in a nesting state and that includes a holder, a transportation container having the following configuration is provided.

That is, as such a carrying container,
The holder pocket for accommodating the holder may be provided at a position corresponding to the holder on the inner surface of the short side wall. The holder pocket is formed by protruding a wall surface forming a short side wall to the outer surface in a U-shaped cross section. However, according to the transport container, since both short side walls are formed in a tapered shape, the holder is caught on the inner surface of the holder pocket when the nesting state is set, and the container body is sufficiently inserted into another container body. There was a problem that it could not be inserted and it was difficult to save space.

In addition, if the holder is to be joined on both short side walls of the carrying container, the holder must be joined to the outer surface of the holder pocket, and the holder projects further outward than the holder pocket. I will end up. In this case, the holder cannot be housed in the holder pocket, and there is a possibility that the nesting state cannot be achieved. Therefore, the holder can be bonded only to the outer surface of one of the short side walls, and there is a problem that the bonding position of the holder is limited.

On the other hand, as a container for transportation other than the above, there is one in which a concave portion is provided on a portion of the outer surface of the short side wall where the holder is attached. The concave portion is formed by projecting a wall surface forming a short side wall toward the inner surface in a U-shaped cross section. The holder is attached in the recess so that it does not project outward from the outer surface of the short side wall. However, according to the transport container,
By providing the concave portion, there is no choice but to reduce the accommodation space of the container main body, and there is a problem that the accommodation amount of the accommodation object is reduced.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems existing in the prior art as described above. The purpose is to be able to attach the holder without sacrificing the storage space of the container body, and to prevent the holder from being caught by other container bodies when stacking in a nesting state regardless of the mounting position of the holder. An object is to provide a transportation container that can be suppressed.

Are projected so as to extend in the vertical direction. Further, a second leg portion 21 as a leg portion is provided so as to project in the vertical direction at the center portion in the width direction of one of the long side walls 13 between the first leg portions 21a. That is, the outer surface of the one long side wall 13 is provided with two first leg portions 21 a and one second leg portion 21 so as to project a total of three leg portions.

On the outer surface of the other long side wall 13 which is the back side in FIG. 1, two legs 2 are provided so as to be located on both sides thereof.
Two second leg portions 21 are provided so as to extend in the vertical direction. Each of the second leg portions 21 provided on both long side walls 13 is formed in a tapered shape in which both side surfaces thereof widen upward. In addition, the second leg portion 21 and the first leg portion 21
The a is formed by projecting the wall surface forming the long side wall 13 toward the outer surface in a U-shaped cross section. And
The second leg 21 and the first leg 21a are provided on the inner surface side of the long side wall 13.
A pocket 22 is formed inside the.

A pair of upper and lower container bodies 11 in the state shown in FIG.
Is arranged at a position where the first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion 21 and the pocket 22 are matched with each other, that is, a position where the shapes of the container bodies 11 are matched, and the positional relationship in the same shape direction ( Hereinafter, it is also simply referred to as “same direction”. With this positional relationship in the same shape direction, it is possible to stack a plurality of container bodies 11 vertically in a nesting state. That is, if the container bodies 11 are oriented in the same direction, the upper first leg 21a and the second leg 21 can be inserted into the lower pocket 22. Then, by inserting the upper container body 11 into the accommodation space of the lower container body 11, the plurality of container bodies 11 are stacked in a small and compact manner in the nesting state.

When the upper or lower container body 11 is rotated by 180 ° in a plane from the state shown in FIG. 1, the pair of upper and lower container bodies 11 have the first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion 21 of each other.
And the pocket 22 do not coincide with each other, that is, the container body 1
It is arranged at a position where the shapes of one do not match. This is defined as a positional relationship in the different shape direction (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “different direction”). With this positional relationship in the different shape direction, it is possible to stack a plurality of container bodies 11 vertically in a stacking state. That is, if the container bodies 11 are in different directions, the upper container body 11 is placed inside the lower container body 11.
The first leg 21a and the second leg 2
1 is not engaged in the pocket 22, and these can be hooked on the upper end of the lower container body 11. Then, by mounting the upper container body 11 on the lower container body 11 with the first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion 21 supporting the upper container body 11, the plurality of container bodies 11 are stacked vertically in a stacking state.

At the upper end of the container body 11, a first flange 31 formed in an annular shape so as to extend over the entire body is provided so as to project in the lateral direction (horizontal direction). A second flange 32, which is formed in a substantially annular shape so as to extend parallel to the first flange 31, is provided to project laterally (horizontal direction) slightly below the first flange 31. On the upper surface of the first flange 31, the upper first leg portion 2 in the stacking state is provided.
An engagement groove 23 is provided at a position corresponding to 1a and the second leg 21. The lower ends of the upper first leg portion 21a and the upper second leg portion 21 are accommodated in the engagement groove 23 in the stacking state, and are engaged with each other.
Also, due to the engagement relationship between the second leg 21 and the engagement groove 23, the lateral displacement of the container bodies 11 in the stacking state is suppressed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the container body 11
An attachment portion 51 is provided on the outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14. A holder 52 is attached to the attachment part 51, and the identification card 54 is attached to the attachment part 51 via the holder 52 by supporting the identification card 54 on the holder 52. Further, the attachment part 51 is
Although only the one provided on one short side wall 14 is shown in each drawing, it is provided on each of the pair of short side walls 14.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a pair of first leg portions 21 arranged on both side edges of the outer surface of one long side wall 13.
a is located at the corner of the container body 11. The outer side surface 21b, which is one side surface of each first leg 21a,
Outer surface 1 of a pair of short side walls 14 adjacent to one long side wall 13
4a are formed so as to be flush with each other. The attachment portion 51 is constituted by the outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14 and the outer surface 21b of the first leg portion 21a, and is formed such that the lateral width thereof is wider than the lateral width of the inner surface of the short side wall 14.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 (a), the holder 52 is made of a horizontally long rectangular sheet material made of synthetic resin, which is adhered to the attachment portion 51 at both inner and outer edges of its inner surface.
It is formed in a bag shape that opens upward by welding or the like. The holder 52 is formed to have a width that is approximately equal to the width of the attachment portion 51 and approximately half the height of the attachment portion 51, and is attached to the lower half of the attachment portion 51. Therefore,
The first center line C1 passing through the center of the holder 52 in the width direction when attached to the attachment part 51 is separated from the second center line C2 passing through the center of the container body 11 in the width direction by the distance W to the first leg portion 2.
The position is deviated to the 1a side. It should be noted that this distance W substantially corresponds to the amount of protrusion of the first leg portion 21 a from the outer surface of the long side wall 13.

The identification card 54 is made of paper, a sheet made of synthetic resin, a film, etc., and the identification information such as the type of the contents, the destination, the weight, the delivery date, etc. is displayed on the surface by a bar code, characters, symbols, etc. Have been described. This identification card 54
Is formed so as to be slightly narrower and vertically longer than the holder 52, and by being inserted into the inside of the holder 52 through its opening, the upper part of the holder 52 protrudes from the opening of the holder 52. It is supported. When the identification card 54 is used, the container body 11
The identification information is read when the sheets are sorted and conveyed by, for example, a conveyor or the like, and sorting is performed based on the information. In order to read the identification information from the identification card 54 as described above, the holder 52 is preferably made of a transparent material or a translucent material. The identification card 54 when not in use is pulled out from the holder 52 of the attachment part 51 and discarded or stored.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the holder 5
In the upper part of 2, the upper end of the sheet material is folded back inward, and the end portion is attached to the inner surface of the sheet material, so that the two sheet materials are laminated inside the opening. Part 5
3 is provided. Since the thick portion 53 is formed by folding the sheet material inward, the outer surface of the opening portion of the holder 52 is a flat surface. Therefore, when the container bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state, the upper holder 52 is prevented from being caught by the lower container body 11.

When stacking the container bodies 11 in this nesting state, the holder 52 mainly rubs the outer surface of the thick portion 53 against the other container bodies 11. This is because the thick part 53 of the holder 52 is the thickest part. Therefore, the holder 52 is less likely to rub other parts than the thick part 53, especially the lower half, against the other container body 11, scratches and the like are not easily formed on the outer surface thereof, and the transparency of the holder 52 is reduced. Maintained.

Further, by folding back the sheet material to form the thick portion 53, the upper edge of the holder 52 has a rounded shape (curved surface). Therefore, when the identification card 54 is inserted and removed, the identification card 54 is prevented from being caught in the opening of the holder 52. further,
The holder 52 provided with the thick-walled portion 53 has improved durability at the opening portion thereof, and is prevented from being damaged when the identification card 54 is inserted and removed. In addition, the portion where the thick portion 53 is provided has improved rigidity as compared with other portions of the holder 52. Therefore, the thick portion 5
The identification card 54 can be pressed against the short side wall 14 by 3, and the occurrence of a defect such as the identification card 54 coming off or coming off can be prevented.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6A, a pair of protective ribs 55 are provided on both sides of the holder 52 in the attachment part 51 so as to extend in the vertical direction. These protection ribs 55 function to protect the entire outer surface of the holder 52, particularly the thick portion 53, from sliding contact with the inner surface of the lower container body 11 when the container body 11 is in the nesting state. That is, the protrusion amount of the protective rib 55 from the attachment portion 51 is determined by the thickness of the thick portion that protrudes from the attachment portion 51 when the holder 52 is attached to the attachment portion 51, and preferably when the identification card 54 is supported by the holder 52. The protrusion amount of 53 is equal to or longer than this.

When the protrusion amount of the protection rib 55 is shorter than the protrusion amount of the thick portion 53, the protection rib 55 cannot sufficiently protect the holder 52 from sliding contact with the inner surface of the lower container body 11. . Further, the vertical length of the protective rib 55 is formed to be equal to or longer than the vertical length of the holder 52. In this embodiment, the protection rib 55 is formed from the lower surface of the second flange 32 to almost the lower end edge of the container body 11 so as to protect not only the holder 52 but also the identification card 54 supported by the holder 52. ing.

As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), a regulation piece 56 formed in a square plate shape as an insertion regulation portion at the upper end portion of the protection rib 55 so as to be located above the holder 52. Are projected laterally (horizontally). The regulation piece 56 is configured so that the lower end thereof contacts the upper surface of the first flange 31 when the plurality of container bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state. In this state, the upper container body 11 is not completely inserted into the accommodation space of the lower container body 11, and the outer surface of the upper container body 11 is separated from the inner surface of the lower container body 11. It is supported by the restriction piece 56. Therefore, the upper container body 1
A gap 57 is formed between the short side wall 14 of No. 1 and the short side wall 14 of the lower container body 11.

The holder 52 includes a plurality of container bodies 11
When they are stacked in a nesting state, they are accommodated in the gap 57. Therefore, in the holder 52, the protruding amount of the thick portion 53 from the attachment portion 51 is preferably 1.5 mm or less. When the protruding amount of the thick portion 53 exceeds 1.5 mm, the wall surface forming the attachment portion 51 is recessed inward to prevent the holder 52 from being caught when the plurality of container bodies 11 are put into the nesting state. For example, the accommodation space of the container body 11 must be reduced, and the accommodation amount of the contained objects decreases. In addition, the upper limit of the protrusion amount of the protective rib 55 is preferably 1.5 mm, which corresponds to the protrusion amount of the thick portion 53 of the holder 52. The upper limit of the protrusion amount is 1.
If it exceeds 5 mm, the wall of the container 51 has to be moved toward the inner side of the container body 11 to reduce the accommodation space of the container body 11, which reduces the amount of the contained object.

At the lower end of the protection rib 55, the insertion guide portion 5 is formed in a sloping shape which approaches the outer surface of the short side wall 14 as it goes downward.
8 is formed. By forming the insertion guide portion 58, when the container bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state, the first flange 3 at the lower end of the protection rib 55 is formed.
1. It is possible to prevent the container body 11 from being caught on the upper edge or the like.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned transport container will be described. When using this transport container, the container body 1
After the contents are stored in the first storage space, the identification card 54 is attached to the attachment portion 51 as shown in FIG.
When attaching the identification card 54 to the attachment portion 51, first insert the lower end portion of the identification card 54 into the opening provided at the upper edge of the holder 52, and then directly move the identification card 54 downward (inner depth of the holder 52). Push in. Then, the identification card 54 is pressed by the thick portion 53 in the direction of the short side wall 14, is supported by the holder 52, and is attached to the attachment portion 51 via the holder 52. Then, a plurality of container bodies 11 sorted based on the identification information written on the identification card 54 are stacked vertically in a stacking state, and are transported and stored.

On the other hand, after the contents are taken out and emptied, as shown in FIG.
Are nesting, stacked vertically and compactly, and returned and stored. At this time, the container body 11
Can be stacked without having to worry about the presence of the holder 52 at all.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (b),
A protection rib 55 is provided on the attachment portion 51 so that the protrusion amount of the protection rib 55 from the attachment portion 51 is larger than the protrusion amount of the holder 52 (particularly the thick portion 53) from the attachment portion 51. It's getting longer. Therefore, in the nesting state, the entire outer surface of the holder 52, particularly the thick portion 53, is prevented from slidingly contacting the inner surface of the container body 11. Further, since the protection rib 55 is provided so as to extend in the same direction as the insertion direction of the container body 11, that is, in the vertical direction,
The holder 52 is always protected until insertion of the holder is completed. Further, with the plurality of container bodies 11 maintaining the nesting state, the restriction piece 56 is provided between the short side walls 14 of each container body 11.
Thus, the gap 57 is formed. Since the holder 52 and the identification card 54 are housed in the same gap 57, the container body 1
It is also protected from scratches due to reasons other than contact with 1.

The effects exhibited by the above embodiment will be described below. An attachment portion 51 is provided on the outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14 of the container body 11 that constitutes the transportation container of the embodiment, and the identification card 54 is attached to the attachment portion 51 via the holder 52. The holder 52 is formed in a bag shape that opens upward by adhering or welding a sheet of synthetic resin in the shape of a horizontally long quadrilateral to the attachment portion 51 at both side edges and the lower edge of its inner surface. ing. That is, the amount of protrusion of the holder 52 from the attachment portion 51 corresponds to the thickness of the sheet material, and the holder 52 is very thin and can be easily formed as compared with the holder having the clip of the conventional example. For this reason, when the nesting state is set, even if the concave portion, the pocket, and the like are not provided, the outer surface and the inner surface of the attachment portion 51 are kept flat, and the lower container is almost the same as that of the structure in which the holder 52 is not attached. It is possible to insert the upper container body 11 into the body 11. Therefore,
The thickness of the holder 52 can be reduced in the state where it is attached to the attachment part 51, and the holder 52 can be attached without sacrificing the accommodation space of the container body 11.

Further, no matter where the holder 52 is attached on the attachment part 51, since the holder 52 is a very thin one formed from a single sheet material, the holder 52 can be attached from the attachment position. Does not protrude significantly. In the embodiment, the holder 52 is attached to almost the entire lower half of the attachment portion 51. However, even though the holder 52 is attached to such a large space, the holder 52 is attached from above the attachment portion 51. The amount of protrusion is negligible. Therefore, regardless of the mounting position of the holder 52, it is possible to suppress the holder 52 from being caught by another container body 11 when stacking in a nesting state.

A thick portion 53 is provided on the peripheral edge of the opening of the holder 52. Since the thick portion 53 is formed by laminating sheet materials, the increase in the thickness of the holder 52 due to the formation of the thick portion 53 is very small. Furthermore, by forming the thick portion 53, the opening of the holder 52 is reinforced and the durability is improved, so that it is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems such as damage when the identification card 54 is inserted and removed. Therefore, it is possible to reinforce the holder 52 while keeping the thickness of the holder 52 thin, and since the durability of the opening portion of the holder 52 is improved by the thick portion 53, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of breakage. You can

Further, since the thick portion 53 is formed by stacking sheet materials inward, the holder 5
The outer surface of the opening 2 is a flat surface. Therefore, when stacking the container bodies 11 in a nesting state,
It is possible to prevent the upper holder 52 from being caught by the lower container body 11.

Further, since the holder 52 is formed in a bag shape that opens upward, even if the identification card 54 is large enough to exceed the size of the holder 52, a part of the identification card 54 is opened through the opening. You can insert it so that it sticks out. Furthermore, the inserted identification card 54 is
The holder 52 is supported so that its surface is covered with the holder 52 over a wide range. Therefore, the identification card 54 larger than the holder 52 can be stably supported.

The thick portion 53 is formed by folding the sheet material inward and attaching the folded portion to the inner surface of the sheet material. By thus folding the sheet material inward and providing the thick portion 53, the upper edge of the holder 52 is slightly separated from the attachment portion 51, and a slight gap is formed in the opening of the holder 52. Therefore, by using the same gap, the identification card 54 can be easily inserted into the holder 52 from the opening.

The upper end edge of the thick portion 53 formed by folding the sheet material inward has a rounded shape. Therefore, it is possible to suppress catching when the identification card 54 is inserted and removed.

The rigidity of the opening portion of the holder 52, where the thick portion 53 is provided, is improved as compared with other portions. Therefore, the identification card 54 can be pressed toward the short side wall 14 by the thick portion 53,
It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems such as the identification card 54 coming off or coming off.

Further, protection ribs 55 are provided on the attachment portion 51 so as to extend along both side edges of the holder 52. The protection rib 55 has a wall thickness 5 of the holder 52 in a state where the protrusion amount from the attachment portion 51 is attached to the attachment portion 51.
It is formed to be longer than the thickness of No. 3. Therefore, when the nesting state is set, it is possible to reliably prevent the holder 52, particularly the thick portion 53, from being caught by another container body 11 and damaging the holder 52 at the time of nesting.

In addition, the protection rib 55 corresponds to the thickness of the thick portion 53 of the holder 52 being 1.5 mm or less.
The protrusion amount of is 1.5 mm or less. Therefore, the holder 52 does not have to narrow the accommodation space of the container body 11.
The protection rib 55 can be provided with a protrusion amount that can prevent damage of the protection rib 55.

Further, the protection rib 55 extends in the up-down direction so as to be along the insertion direction of the container body 11 when the nesting state is set. Therefore, the container body 11
The holder 52 can be protected at all times from the start of insertion to the time when the insertion is completed and the nesting state is achieved.
It is possible to more reliably prevent damage to the holder 52 during nesting.

In addition, the first leg 21a is attached to the container body 11
The outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14 and the outer surface 21b of the first leg 21a are formed so as to be flush with each other by arranging them on the side edges of the outer surface of the long side wall 13 which is the corner portion of the first side wall 21a. The outer surface 14a and the outer surface 21b form an attachment portion 51.
