BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a container main body 11 constituting a transporting container has a bottom wall 12 having a rectangular plate shape, and a first side wall and a second side wall standing along the peripheral edge of the bottom wall 12. It is formed in the shape of a bottomed rectangular box with an open top surface from each of the paired long side walls 13 and short side walls 14 provided. Further, each of the pair of long side walls 13 and short side walls 14 is formed in a tapered shape that slightly expands upward. The container body 11 is used by being transported or the like in a state in which a storage object such as a mechanical component is stored in an internal storage space.
[0013]
One of the pair of long side walls 13 has two first legs as legs constituting support means on the outer surface of one of the long side walls 13 on the near side in FIG. The portion 21a is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction. Further, a second leg 21 as a leg constituting the support means is protruded from the first leg 21a at the center in the width direction of one long side wall 13 so as to extend in the vertical direction. I have. In other words, a total of three legs project from the outer surface of one of the long side walls 13 with two first legs 21 a and one second leg 21.
[0014]
On the outer surface of the other long side wall 13 which is the back side in FIG. 1, two second legs 21 as legs constituting the support means extend in the vertical direction so as to be located on both sides thereof. It is protruding. Each of the second leg portions 21 provided on each of the long side walls 13 is formed in a tapered shape such that both side surfaces are widened upward. Further, the second leg portion 21 and the first leg portion 21a are formed by projecting a wall surface constituting the long side wall 13 to the outside of the container body 11 in a U-shaped plane cross section. A pocket 22 is formed inside the second leg 21 and the first leg 21 a on the inner surface side of the long side wall 13.
[0015]
In the state shown in FIG. 1, the pair of upper and lower container bodies 11 is arranged at a position where the first leg 21 a and the second leg 21 and the pocket 22 coincide with each other, that is, at a position where the shapes of the container bodies 11 coincide. This state is the same direction. The plurality of container bodies 11 can be vertically stacked in the nesting state in the positional relationship in the same direction. That is, if the container bodies 11 are in the same direction, the upper first leg 21a and the second leg 21 can be engaged in the lower pocket 22. Then, by inserting the upper container main body 11 into the accommodation space of the lower container main body 11, the plurality of container main bodies 11 are stacked in a small and compact manner in a nesting state.
[0016]
When the upper or lower container main body 11 is rotated 180 ° in a plane from the state shown in FIG. 1, the upper and lower pair of container main bodies 11 are aligned with the first leg 21a and the second leg 21 and the pocket 22. Are arranged at positions where the shapes of the container bodies 11 do not match each other. This state is set in a different direction. The plurality of container bodies 11 can be stacked up and down in a stacking state in the positional relationship of the different directions. That is, if the container bodies 11 have different orientations, the first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion 21 are engaged in the pocket 22 even if the upper container body 11 is inserted into the lower container body 11. Instead, they can be hooked on the upper end of the lower container body 11. The upper container body 11 is supported by the first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion 21 on the lower container body 11, so that the plurality of container bodies 11 are vertically stacked in a stacking state.
[0017]
A first flange 31 formed in an annular shape so as to extend over the whole of the upper end portion of the container main body 11 is provided so as to protrude in a horizontal direction (horizontal direction). A second flange 32, which is formed in a substantially annular shape so as to extend in parallel with the first flange 31, is provided slightly below the first flange 31 in a lateral direction (horizontal direction). An engagement groove 23 is formed on the upper surface of the first flange 31 at a position corresponding to the upper first leg 21a and the second leg 21 in a stacking state. The lower ends of the upper first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion 21 are accommodated in the engaging groove 23 in a stacking state, and are configured to be engaged with each other. The first leg portion 21a and the second leg portion Due to the engagement relationship between the engagement groove 21 and the engagement groove 23, the lateral displacement of the container bodies 11 in the stacking state is suppressed.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a pair of first leg portions 21 a arranged on both side edges on the outer surface of one long side wall 13 is located at a corner portion of the container body 11. An outer surface 21b, which is one side surface of each first leg portion 21a, is formed so as to be flush with an outer surface 14a of a pair of short side walls 14 adjacent to one long side wall 13. The outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14 and the outer surface 21b of the first leg 21a form an attachment portion 51. The attached portion 51 is formed to have a width wider than the width of the inner surface of the short side wall 14. The attachment portions 51 are provided on the respective outer surfaces of the pair of short side walls 14.
[0019]
As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 6 (a), 6 (b) and 7, the attachment portion 51 is provided with an attachment recess 59. The attachment recess 59 is formed so as to be approximately equal in width and about half as high as the attachment portion 51, and is arranged in the lower half of the attachment portion 51. The holder 52 is adhered to the inside of the attachment recess 59 by bonding, welding, or the like the inner surface of the holder 52 to the inner bottom surface of the attachment recess 59. The holder 52 is formed in a bag shape that opens upward by laminating two sheets of a synthetic resin made of a horizontally long rectangle. That is, the holder 52 arranges the second sheet material 52b on one side of the inner surface on the side of the attachment recess 59 and the first sheet material 52a on the other side of the outer surface opposite to the second sheet material 52b. 52a and 52b are formed by bonding, welding and the like at both side edges and a lower edge of each other.
[0020]
When the identification card 54 is supported by the holder 52, the identification card 54 is attached to the attachment portion 51 via the holder 52. The identification card 54 is made of paper, a synthetic resin sheet, a film, or the like, and on the surface thereof, identification information such as a type of a stored object, a transport destination, a weight, a delivery date, and the like is described by a barcode, a character, a symbol, and the like. . When the container body 11 is separated and conveyed by, for example, a conveyor or the like, the transport container reads the identification information written on the identification card 54 by a reader or the like, and is sorted based on the information. The first sheet material 52a forming the holder 52 is preferably formed of a transparent material or a translucent material so that the identification information can be easily read from the identification card 54 during the sorting operation.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 5A, in addition to the above figures, a thick portion 53 is provided on the upper portion of the holder 52. The same thick portion 53 is formed by folding the upper end of the first sheet material 52a inward and attaching the end to the inner surface of the sheet material so that the two sheet materials are stacked inside the opening. Is formed. The portion of the holder 52 where the thick portion 53 is provided has improved rigidity as compared with other portions.
[0022]
The identification card 54 is formed to be slightly narrower and longer in length than the holder 52, and is inserted into the holder 52 through the opening, so that the upper part thereof protrudes from the opening of the holder 52. It is supported in a state where it is made to be. The thick portion 53 functions to prevent the occurrence of troubles such as dropping and dropping of the identification card 54 by pressing the identification card 54 supported by the holder 52 against the short side wall 14 and holding the position. I have. The identification card 54 is in contact with the upper end corner of the attachment recess 59 in such a state that the identification card 54 is pressed against the short side wall 14 by the thick portion 53. In this state, the upper portion of the identification card 54 rises from the outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14 and is easy to grasp, so that the identification card 54 can be easily inserted into and removed from the holder 52.
[0023]
The upper end edge of the holder 52 has a rounded shape (curved surface) due to the formation of the thick portion 53. 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. The outer surface of the thick portion 53, that is, the outer surface of the opening portion of the holder 52 is a flat surface without irregularities, steps, etc. by forming the thick portion 53 by folding the first sheet material 52a inward. I have. Therefore, when the container bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state, the thick portion 53 of the upper holder 52 is less likely to be caught by the lower container body 11. Further, the durability of the opening portion of the holder 52 provided with the thick portion 53 is improved, and the occurrence of damage when the identification card 54 is inserted and removed is suppressed.
[0024]
The second sheet material 52 b forming the holder 52 is formed so as to have substantially the same area as the opening area of the attachment recess 59, and together with the attachment recess 59, constitutes a positioning means of the holder 52 with respect to the attachment portion 51. ing. That is, by aligning the second sheet material 52b with the attachment concave portion 59, the holder 52 is attached in a state where it is positioned at the lower half of the attachment portion 51. The holder 52 attached to the attachment part 51 has a first center line C1 passing through the center in the width direction of the holder 52 and a second center line C2 passing through the center in the width direction of the container body 11 by a distance W from the first leg portion 21a. It is misaligned to the side. This distance W substantially corresponds to the amount of protrusion of the first leg 21a from the outer surface of the long side wall 13.
[0025]
In the attachment portion 51, a pair of protective ribs 55 are provided on both sides of the holder 52 so as to protrude vertically. These protective ribs 55 protect the entire outer surface of the holder 52, particularly the thick portion 53 protruding from the inside of the mounting recess 59, from sliding contact with the inner surface of the lower container body 11 when the container body 11 is in the nesting state. Is working to be. Accordingly, the amount of protrusion of the protective rib 55 from the attachment portion 51 is such that the holder 52 is mounted in the mounting recess 59, and preferably the identification card 54 is supported by the holder 52 mounted in the mounting recess 59. In this state, it is formed so as to be equal to or longer than the projection amount of the thick portion 53 projecting from the attachment portion 51.
[0026]
The vertical length of the protection rib 55 is formed to be equal to or longer than the vertical length of the holder 52. In this embodiment, the protective rib 55 is formed from the lower surface of the second flange 32 to the substantially lower 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. At the lower end of the protective rib 55, an insertion guide portion 58 is formed which has an inclined surface approaching the outer surface of the short side wall 14 as it goes downward. By forming the insertion guide portion 58, when the container main bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state, the lower end of the protective rib 55 is prevented from being caught on the first flange 31, the upper end edge of the container main body 11, and the like.
[0027]
At the upper end of the protection rib 55, a regulating piece 56 formed in a square plate shape as an insertion regulating portion is provided so as to protrude in a horizontal direction (horizontal direction) so as to be positioned above the holder 52. When the plurality of container bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state, the lower end of the regulating piece 56 contacts the upper surface of the first flange 31. In this state, the upper container main body 11 is not completely inserted into the accommodation space of the lower container main body 11, and is supported by the restricting piece 56 in a state where its outer surface is separated from the inner surface of the lower container main body 11. A gap 57 is formed between the short side wall 14 of the upper container body 11 and the short side wall 14 of the lower container body 11.
[0028]
The holder 52 is formed by laminating two sheet materials, and is configured to be thin. The depth of the mounting recess 59 is substantially the same as the thickness of the holder 52. That is, in the state where the holder 52 is mounted in the attachment recess 59, the holder 52 causes only a part of the thickest portion 53 of the thickest portion to slightly protrude from above the attachment portion 51. When the plurality of container bodies 11 are stacked in a nesting state, the holder 52 is accommodated in the gap 57 and the mounting recess 59.
[0029]
That is, the transport container has a configuration in which almost no protrusion is formed on the attachment portion 51 with the holder 52 attached. In addition, a part of the thick portion 53 projecting very slightly from above the attachment portion 51 is also accommodated in the gap 57. For this reason, it is not necessary to protrude the wall surface of the short side wall 14 facing the short side wall 14 provided with the attachment portion 51 to the outside of the container body 11 to form a recess for accommodating the holder 52. Therefore, there is no large protrusion on the attachment portion 51, and interference with another container body 11 during nesting is prevented. It should be noted that as the depth of the attachment recess 59 is increased with respect to the thickness of the holder 52, it becomes more difficult to insert the identification card 54 into the holder 52.
[0030]
On the other hand, the attachment recess 59 is formed such that its depth is shorter than the thickness of one side wall and the short side wall 14 of the first leg 21a. That is, the attachment recess 59 is formed by making the corresponding portion thinner without protruding the one side wall and the short side wall 14 of the first leg portion 21a into the container main body 11. In addition, on the inner surface of one side wall and the short side wall 14 of the first leg portion 21a, a portion corresponding to the attachment recess 59 and a peripheral portion thereof are flat surfaces. In other words, the transport container has a configuration in which the mounting concave portion 59 is provided, and a protruding object that protrudes inward of the container body 11 is not formed at a position corresponding to the mounting concave portion 59. Therefore, the attachment recess 59 is formed without sacrificing the accommodation space of the container body 11.
[0031]
Next, the operation of the transport container will be described.
When this transport container is used, the identification card 54 is attached to the attachment section 51 after the contents are stored in the storage space of the container main body 11 as shown in FIG. When attaching the identification card 54 to the attachment portion 51, first, the lower end of the identification card 54 is inserted into an opening provided at the upper edge of the holder 52, and the identification card 54 is directly moved downward (inside the holder 52). And push it 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. A plurality of container bodies 11 sorted based on the identification information described on the identification card 54 are stacked up and down in a stacking state, and are transported and stored.
[0032]
On the other hand, after the contents are taken out and emptied, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of container bodies 11 are vertically and compactly stacked in a nesting state, returned, stored, and the like. At this time, the container bodies 11 are stacked without having to worry about the presence or absence of the holder 52 at all.
[0033]
That is, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 7, the holder 52 is formed between the attachment recess 59 provided on the attachment portion 51 and the short side wall 14 of each container body 11 in a nesting state. It is housed inside the gap 57. Therefore, when the nesting state is set, sliding contact of the entire outer surface of the holder 52, particularly, the inner surface of the container body 11 of the thick portion 53 is prevented. Further, since the protection rib 55 is projected from the attachment portion 51, even when the identification card 54 is supported by the holder 52, the holder 52 slides on the inner surface of the container body 11. Is prevented.
[0034]
The effects exerted 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 main body 11 that constitutes the transport container of the embodiment, and the attachment portion 51 is provided with an attachment recess 59, and the attachment recess 59 is provided. A holder 52 is mounted in 59. The identification card 54 is attached to the attachment unit 51 via the holder 52. The holder 52 is formed in a bag shape that opens upward by bonding, welding, or the like, the first sheet material 52a and the second sheet material 52b, each of which is made of a synthetic resin and has a horizontally long rectangular shape, at both side edges and a lower edge of each other. Have been. In other words, the thickness of the holder 52 is substantially equivalent to the length obtained by adding the thicknesses of the two sheet materials, and the holder 52 is extremely thin and can be easily formed as compared with the holder having the clip of the conventional example. it can. Further, by mounting the thin holder 52 in the attachment recess 59, the holder 52 can be provided without substantially protruding from above the attachment portion 51. Therefore, when stacking in the nesting state, the contact of the holder 52 with another container body 11 can be suppressed.
[0035]
Also, since the holder 52 is formed in a bag shape that opens upward, even if the identification card 54 has a size larger than the size of the holder 52, a part of the identification card 54 protrudes from the opening. Can be plugged in. Further, the inserted identification card 54 is supported so that the surface thereof is covered by the holder 52 over a wide range. Therefore, the identification card 54 larger than the holder 52 can be stably supported.
[0036]
The attachment recess 59 has a depth substantially the same as the thickness of the holder 52, and is shorter than the thickness of one side wall and the short side wall 14 of the first leg 21a. Is formed by making the one side wall and the short side wall 14 thin. For this reason, even if the attachment concave portion 59 and the holder 52 are provided, no large protrusion is formed on the outer surface and the inner surface of the one side wall and the short side wall 14 of the first leg 21a. Therefore, interference with other container bodies 11 during nesting can be suppressed without substantially sacrificing the accommodation space of the container body 11.
[0037]
Also, by arranging the first leg portion 21a on the side edge of the outer surface of the long side wall 13 which becomes the corner portion of the container body 11, the outer surface 14a of the short side wall 14 and the outer surface 21b of the first leg portion 21a are flush with each other. It is formed to be one. The outer surface 14a and the outer surface 21b form an attachment portion 51. Therefore, it is possible to provide a wide attachment portion 51 that exceeds the lateral width of the inner surface of the short side wall 14, and it is possible to attach a large identification card to the attachment portion 51 flat.
[0038]
Regardless of where the holder 52 is attached on the attachment portion 51, since the holder 52 is extremely thin formed from two sheets, the holder 52 is not attached to the attachment recess 59. There is no large protrusion. In the embodiment, the holder 52 is attached to almost the entire lower half of the attachment part 51. However, despite the fact that the holder 52 is attached to such a large space, the holder 52 is mounted on the attachment part 51 from above. The amount of protrusion is very small. Therefore, regardless of the mounting position of the holder 52, it is possible to prevent the holder 52 from being caught on another container main body 11 when stacked in the nesting state.
[0039]
-The transport container of the embodiment is configured to be in a stacking state when the pair of upper and lower container bodies 11 are arranged in different directions, and to be in a nesting state when arranged in the same direction. . In the case of such a configuration, corresponding pockets 22 can be provided inside the first leg 21a and the second leg 21 respectively. For this reason, the first leg portion 21a, the second leg portion 21 and the pocket 22 can be formed at the same height as the height of the container body 11. Further, despite the provision of the mounting recess 59 and the holder 52, no large protrusions are formed on the outer and inner surfaces of the one side wall and the short side wall 14 of the first leg 21a. Therefore, the upper container main body 11 can be inserted into the inner part of the lower container main body 11, and further space saving in the nesting state can be achieved.
[0040]
A thick portion 53 is provided on the periphery 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. Further, since the thick portion 53 is formed, the opening of the holder 52 is reinforced and the durability is improved. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of troubles such as breakage 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 to improve the durability of the opening portion of the holder 52 by the thick portion 53, thereby suppressing the occurrence of breakage. Can be.
