Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a storage box with a lid used for organizing and storing articles such as clothing and books.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, this type of storage box with a lid is composed of a rearranging box main body and a lid, and when storing articles such as clothes in the storage box main body and taking out the articles, the locks provided at both ends of the lid are used. After releasing the mechanism, the lid is removed from the storage box body to store or take out articles.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a conventional storage box with a lid, it is necessary to remove the lid body and set it aside every time an article is taken out or stored, which is troublesome when the user is in a hurry. In addition, if the surroundings are narrow, such as by inserting a storage box into a closet, it is necessary to remove the article placed on the lid, then remove the lid, and place the removed lid on the floor. You may be troubled.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a storage box with a lid that enables the lid to be detachable from the storage box body as in the conventional example and that allows the lid to be opened and closed by a hinge function as necessary. To provide.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A storage box with a lid according to the present invention for achieving the above object comprises a box body and a lid, and has a coupling mechanism for coupling the lid to the box body on both sides of the lid. The mechanism rotatably supports one end of the connecting member to the box main body via a shaft so as to be rotatable, and enables the end of the lid to be held by the other end of the connecting member at the time of locking or connecting, In a state in which the box body and the lid are closed, the connection mechanism is locked by gripping and connecting the end of the lid with the connection member, and connecting one side of the lid to the other. When the side of the connecting member is not connected, the lid can be opened and closed from the non-connecting side by a hinge function centering on the shaft of the connecting member on the connected side.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a lid of a storage box with a lid according to the present embodiment is closed. A lid 2 also made of a synthetic resin is placed on an upper portion of a box body 1 made of a synthetic resin. And are locked by the same connecting mechanism 3 on the left and right sides. On the lower surface of the box body 1, wheels 4 for facilitating the movement of the storage box with a cover are provided at the four corners and the center of the bottom (not shown).
[0007]
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the connection mechanism 3, and connection members 3 b are rotatably attached to the box body 1 via shaft portions 3 a on both side surfaces of the box body 1. On the side of the lid 2 corresponding to the connecting member 3b, a step 2b partially lower than the surface of the lid 2 and partially having a claw 2a, and descending following the step 2b. A protruding piece 2c that protrudes outward is provided, and a recess 2d is provided on the back side of the protruding piece 2c.
[0008]
The lower part 3c of the connecting member 3b is a flat surface, and wide holding pieces 3d, 3e for joining to the step part 2b and the protruding piece 2c of the lid 2 are provided at the upper end part and the central part. Further, locking claws 3f and 3g for locking the claws 2a and the concave portions 2d of the lid 2, respectively, are provided at one or more of the ends of the holding pieces 3d and 3e.
[0009]
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the lid 2 is put on the box main body 1, the left connecting mechanism 3 is in a state immediately before locking, and the right connecting mechanism 3 is in a locked state. When the lid 2 is attached to the box body 1 and the connecting member 3b is turned around the shaft 3a toward the lid 2 and pushed from the left side to the right side, the connection is established. The holding pieces 3d and 3e of the member 3b enter so as to hold the step 2b and the protrusion 2c of the lid 2 therebetween. The connecting member 3b is pushed into the predetermined position, and the locking claw 3f of the holding piece 3d and the locking claw 3g of the holding piece 3e move over the ends of the claw 2a and the protruding piece 2c with a clicking sound. Thus, connection and locking are performed.
[0010]
The elasticity of the synthetic resin material between the lid 2 and the connecting member 3b is combined with the elasticity of the connecting member 3b, so that the connecting member 3b grips the end of the lid 2, so that the box body 1 and the lid 2 can be securely connected and locked. Done. Further, in a state where the connecting members 3 on both sides are locked, it is possible to carry the storage box with the lid by putting a hand on the lower portion 3c of these connecting members 3b.
[0011]
To remove the lid 2, the locking by the connecting member 3 may be released. To release the lock, the connecting member 3b is pivoted diagonally downward while pressing the upper part, and the locking claws 3f, 3g are removed from the lid 2.
[0012]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the connection of one of the connection mechanisms 3 is released and the lid 2 is rotated. The lid 2 can be rotated upward by a hinge function having the end of the lid 2 on the side where the connection is released and the pivot 3a of the connection member 3b on the side where the connection is made as a fulcrum.
[0013]
Further, when rotating by the hinge function, the lower part 3c of the connecting member 3b contacts the side surface of the box body 1 to restrict the rotation, but the lid 2 can be opened and closed within a range of about 100 °. . Further, the lid 2 can be opened so as to be able to stand by itself by a rotation of about 90 ° or more.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the storage box with the lid according to the present invention allows the lid to be detached from the storage box main body and allows the lid to be opened and closed only from one side using the hinge function. .
