Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box for an article such as an article with a wireless tag, and more particularly to a storage box for an article in which a partition wall and the entire box can be folded so that storage space can be saved and reused easily.

  Generally, mail is received from customers at an underwriting station, finally transported to a delivery station via a relay station, and delivered from the delivery station to a delivery destination such as each home.

  In addition to ordinary mail and parcels, there are mail, registered mail, simple registered mail, etc., and registered mail such as registered mail and simple registered mail is mailed at the underwriting station together with a list with ID numbers such as barcodes. It is put in a bag that is said to be sealed, and the mouth of the bag is sealed and transported by truck.

  When the mail bag arrives at the next post office, it is first opened to determine whether the number of registered mail is correct, and if it is correct, then it is checked whether the registered mail is in the list. It is.

  If it is determined that the registered mail is correct, the list and the registered mail are put in the mail bag again, the bag mouth is sealed, and transported by truck.

  When there are a plurality of relay stations, confirmation work and sealing work are performed for each relay station.

  In this way, the mail arriving at the final delivery office will be opened and manually checked to see if the number of registered mail is correct, and if it is correct, whether the registered mail is on the list. Is implemented.

  Therefore, for the purpose of simplifying a series of delivery operations, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags are attached to all postal registered mails, ID numbers are recorded on the RFID tags, and postal registered mails are collectively put in a mail bag. There are some that have been housed to simplify the confirmation process.

  Since RFID can read and write data in a non-contact manner by a reader / writer, the ID number of the registered mail sealed in the mail bag is acquired, and the acquired ID number or the like is sent to another RFID tag attached to the mail bag. By writing, a conventional list can be easily created by a reader / writer.

  Next, when this mail bag reaches the relay station, the reader / writer obtains the data corresponding to the list and the data of the RFID tag affixed to the registered mail, and performs the verification on the spot without opening the mail bag. be able to.

  The registered mail registered in the mail bag is checked against the list by the reader / writer. If there is no problem, the mail bag is not opened, and it is sequentially transported to the next relay station, and the last delivery station also uses the reader / writer. Automatic verification is possible, and a series of delivery operations can be simplified.

  A basic concept that enables automation of business by using an RFID tag is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-175,621 (Patent Document 1).

  Even if a large number of RFID tags, for example 200 mail registered mails, are sealed in a mail bag even if the RFID tag is attached to the mail registered mail, if only 199 RFID tags can be recognized by the relay station, one is lost. Alternatively, a failure of the RFID tag can be considered. In this case, the relay station finds out which postal registered mail is lost by troublesome manual work.

  Even when a postal registered mail different from the list is entered, the postal mail registered as a target is all searched manually as described above.

  Since many postal registered mails are stored together in a mail bag, all postal mails stored in the mail bag are manually operated to find postal items with broken RFID tags or lost mail registered mail. In this case, it is necessary to identify the lost mail, which is very troublesome.

By the way, irrespective of a series of postal delivery operations, a storage case, which is a hard case, is formed so as to be foldable, and the upper part in the assembled storage case is combined with a vertical partition plate and a horizontal partition plate to form a plurality of storage chambers. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2-72045 (Patent Document 2) discloses a folding container that is partitioned into two and accommodates a bottle container in each storage chamber.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-175,621 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-72045

  The folding container disclosed in Patent Document 2 is assembled to form a plurality of storage chambers so that a vertical partition plate and a horizontal partition plate intersect each other at the upper part of the assembled storage case. While this storage case requires complicated time to assemble the vertical partition plate and the horizontal partition plate, it takes time, and during storage, the vertical partition plates are overlapped to create a step on the free ends on both sides. The vertical partition plate and the horizontal partition plate are easily deformed in the stored state because the horizontal partition plate is superposed on the vertical partition plate on which the sag occurs. It becomes more complicated or difficult to recombine the deformed vertical partition plate and horizontal partition plate so as to cross each other.

  Further, the conventional folding container divides the upper part of the assembled storage case into a plurality of storage chambers and stores bottle containers and the like in the storage chamber. It is difficult to store a flexible article. Because the flexible article is free when the lower side is not restrained in the stored state, the flexible article is easily bent and slipped when stored in the storage chamber, and the flexible article once taken out can be taken out or stored in a normal stored state. It was difficult to do.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and the entire partition wall and box can be easily folded, and can be easily reassembled, saving storage space and enabling repeated use. The present invention relates to a storage box for various articles.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide an article storage box that can store flexible articles such as registered mail in a stable and aligned manner, and can easily and easily collate the stored flexible articles. In offer.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a storage box for an article that can selectively secure a storage space according to the shape and size of the stored article and has versatility for storing the article.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, an article storage box according to the present invention includes a rectangular frame-shaped upper frame and a bottomed lower frame facing the upper frame as described in claim 1. And a case outer wall provided between the upper frame and the lower frame and foldable on the inner side to form an assembly box-shaped storage case, and the storage case partitions the inside of the case A central partition extending in the longitudinal direction of the case, and an intermediate partition plate that partitions storage spaces on both sides partitioned by the central partition and forms a plurality of storage chambers in a row.

  The article storage box according to the present invention can be easily folded and reassembled with the partition wall and the whole box, and can be easily and easily reassembled. Is.

  The storage box for articles according to the present invention can form a plurality of storage chambers on the bottom side of the assembled storage case, and can store and store flexible articles such as postal mail registered in a stable and aligned state. In addition, the verification of the flexible article can be performed easily and easily without contact.

  Furthermore, the storage box for articles according to the present invention can selectively secure a storage space according to the shape and size of the stored articles, and can provide versatility for storing articles, further improving convenience. be able to.

  Embodiments of an article storage box according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 are perspective views showing an embodiment of an article storage box according to the present invention.

  This article storage box 10 is intended for articles with RFID tags (hereinafter referred to as wireless tags) such as postal registered mail such as registered mail and simple registered mail and postal parcels having flexibility as stored articles. The article storage box 10 includes a foldable storage case 11 assembled in a box shape, and a case lid 12 covering the top opening of the storage case 11. The storage case 11 and the case lid 12 are formed of a resin material such as polypropylene or polycarbonate that allows easy passage of radio waves.

  The storage case 11 is a foldable hard case assembled in a box shape, and is used as a storage container, a storage container, or a storage box. As an example, the storage case 10 has a length x width x height of about 600 mm x 500 mm x 300 mm. The storage case 10 may have a handle protruding outward from the top side on both sides in the longitudinal direction.

  The storage case 11 is interposed between a rectangular frame-shaped upper frame 14, a bottomed lower frame 15 provided opposite to the upper frame 14, and the upper frame 14 and the lower frame 15. And a foldable case outer wall 16. The case outer wall 16 is a pair of case side plates 17 that are installed as opposed to the case longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction), and a two-fold type folding side plate that is disposed opposite the case width direction (lateral direction). 18.

  The case side plate 17 in the case width direction is hinged to the lower portion of the upper frame body 14, and is supported so as to be rotatable between an upright position that is suspended and a folded position that is folded horizontally inside the case. An elastic stopper mechanism (not shown) is provided on the free end side of the case side plate 17 as a tilt plate, and the engaging convex portion or the concave portion elastically held by the elastic stopper mechanism is formed at the lower position of the case side plate 17 at the lower frame. The case side plate 17 can be stably held in the erected state in which the case side plate 17 can be engaged with the 15 engaging recesses or protrusions.

  Further, the folding side plate 18 of the two-fold type constituting the outer wall 16 has an upper side plate 18 connected to the lower part of the upper frame body 14 by a hinge connection, and a lower side plate 19 connected to the upper part of the lower frame body 15 by a hinge connection. The The upper side plate 20 and the lower side plate 21 are connected to each other so as to be foldable inside the case by hinge connection. The folding side plate 18 is provided so as to be foldable between a standing position where the upper side plate 20 and the lower side plate 21 are suspended and a folding position where the folding side plate 18 is folded inside the case. When the folding side plate 18 takes a vertical standing position, the opposing end surfaces of the upper side plate 20 and the lower side plate 21 come into contact with each other to serve as a stopper, and the folding side plate 18 is prevented from being folded outwardly from the case.

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which an article storage box 10 is assembled in a box shape, and an elastic stopper mechanism is provided between a case side plate 17 and a folding side plate 18 as a tilt plate so as to be stably held in this assembled state. (Not shown) may be provided and linked.

  In addition, the storage case 11 is provided with a central partition 25 extending in the longitudinal direction at the center of the bottom of the case in the state of being assembled in a box shape. A storage space (space) is formed on both sides of the central partition 25. This storage space is partitioned into n + 1 partition chambers (storage chambers) 27 in rows by n-plate partition plates 26 arranged at a predetermined interval in the case longitudinal direction (vertical direction).

  In this way, the assembled storage case 11 has a plurality of compartment chambers 27, 27 formed in the lower part of the case by vertical and horizontal moving partition walls by the central partition 25 and the middle partition plate 26. When four intermediate partition plates 26 are arranged on both sides of the storage case 11, five partitioning champs 17 and 17 are formed on both sides of the storage case 11 and arranged in alignment.

  At that time, the central partition 25 and the inner partition plate 26 are foldable so as to be foldable, but it is not necessary to assemble them so that the vertical and horizontal movable partition walls cross each other. The compartment chambers 27 and 27 partitioned in the vertical and horizontal directions in the case 11 can be easily formed.

  Each compartment chamber 27, 27 of the assembled storage case 11 is assigned a chamber number in advance, and the assigned chamber number is displayed so that it can be confirmed at a glance from the inside of the case or the outside of the case.

  In each compartment chamber 27, 27 of the storage case 11 assembled in a box shape, envelope-shaped postal registered mails 28 are sequentially stored. As shown in FIG. 2, the registered mail 28 is stored in an aligned state. An RFID tag (wireless tag) in which necessary data such as an ID number is recorded by a reader / writer (not shown) is individually attached to the postal registered mail 28.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the central partition 25 includes a top plate 30 having a required width and a pair of side plates 31 that are hinged so as to be foldable and unfoldable on both sides of the top plate 30. Reference numeral 32 denotes a hinge pin. The hinge pin 32 may be a metal pin, but a resin pin is preferable in view of adverse effects due to radio wave reflection.

  The side plate 31 of the central partition 25 is provided with an ear shaft 33 as a slide shaft on the base side, and the ear shaft 33 is slidable in a slide groove 34 formed on the case side wall of the lower frame 15 of the storage case 11. Is engaged. As the ear shaft 33 of the side plate 31 slides in the direction approaching each other as shown in FIG. 5, the side plate 31 rises and functions as the central partition 25.

  Further, when the ear shafts 33 provided on the pair of side plates 31 slide in the direction away from each other along the slide groove 26, the side plates 31 gradually expand, and finally the folded inner plate It develops so that it may overlap on partition plate 26, and a substantially flush plane is formed. At this time, the middle partition plate 26 is folded and overlapped on the case bottom wall 16a of the storage case 11, and the top plate 30 and the side plate 31 of the central partition 25 are overlapped on each middle partition plate 26 so that the bottom of the case is formed. It becomes a triple structure and is reinforced in strength. At this time, since the intermediate partition plates 26 do not overlap each other on the case bottom wall 16a, an overlapping step portion due to the overlap of the intermediate partition plates 26 does not occur.

  In addition, elastic stopper mechanisms 36 are provided on both sides of the top side of the side plate 31 of the central partition 25. As shown in FIG. 3, the elastic stopper mechanism 36 has an engaging convex portion (or concave portion) 37 that is elastically supported integrally on the side of the top portion of the side plate 31. The engaging convex portion 37 is provided in an elastic support portion 38 formed by cutting out the side portion of the side plate 31 in an L shape, and is elastically held on both side portions of the side plate 31.

  Furthermore, a finger operation hole 35 is provided in the side plate 31 of the central partition 25 in order to make it easy to start up from the plate unfolded state. When an operator puts his finger on the finger operation hole 35 and lifts it, the side plate 31 can be easily raised from the deployed state to the standing state.

  The elastic stopper mechanism 36 provided on the side plate 31 is erected by the engagement convex portion (or concave portion) 37 of the side plate 31 engaging the engaging concave portion (or convex portion) 38 of the case side plate 17. Is held stably. When the side plate 31 is deployed in the horizontal direction and assumes a deployed state that is substantially flush with the flat surface, the engaging projection 37 can engage with the slide groove 34. The engagement protrusion 37 has a rounded protrusion or bulge, and the engagement with the engagement recess 39 and the slide groove 34 of the opposing side plate 17 is detachable smoothly and smoothly.

  By the way, the middle partition plate 26 that partitions the inside of the storage case 11 assembled in a box shape into a plurality of partition chambers 27 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the middle partition plate 26 is provided with an ear shaft 40 on the base side. As shown in FIG. 5, the ear shaft 40 is mounted on the case inner wall of the lower frame 15 and the support rib 41, and the intermediate partition plate 26 is rotatable around the ear shaft 40 in the vicinity of the case bottom wall 15a. Supported.

  The support rib 41 also serves as a plurality of reinforcing ribs protruding from the case bottom wall 15a of the storage case 11, and extends in parallel to the case longitudinal direction to reinforce the case bottom. Then, the ear shaft 40 of the partition plate 26 is mounted on the shaft hole formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the support rib 41 and the shaft hole facing the lower frame 15, and the partition plate 26 is standing upright. It is held upside down between the established standing position and the lying down lying position.

  Elastic stopper mechanisms 44 are provided on both sides of the free end side of the middle partition plate 26. The elastic stopper mechanism 44 includes an engaging convex portion (or concave portion) 45 elastically held on both side portions of the intermediate partition plate 26, and an elastic support portion 46 that elastically holds the engaging convex portion (or concave portion) 45. Have The elastic support portion 46 is formed by cutting out the side portion of the middle partition plate 26 into an L shape. The bulging portion or the protruding portion is rounded so that the engaging convex portion 45 can be smoothly attached to and detached from the engaging concave portions 47 and 48 formed on the case side wall of the storage case 11.

  The intermediate partition plate 26 is formed on the lower frame 15 at the lying position, and the engagement convex portion 45 of the elastic stopper mechanism 44 is engaged with the engagement concave portion 47 formed on the folded side plate 18 at the standing position. It engages with the engaging recess 48. When the middle partition plate 26 is folded to the lying down position, the slide groove 34 for the central partition 25 is formed above the middle partition plate 26 as shown in FIG. The slides of the plates 31 and 31 are not disturbed.

  The middle partition plate 26 is also formed with a pair of finger operation holes 49 so that it can be smoothly raised from the lying position to the standing position. By raising, the middle partition plate 26 can be easily raised from the lying position to the standing position.

  Thus, after the inside of the storage case 11 assembled in a box shape is folded from the state shown in FIG. 1 in two opposite directions to each other, the respective partition plates 26 are folded and laid down. When the central partition 25 is pressed downward, the side plate 31 of the central partition 25 slides the ear shaft 33 in the deploying direction along the slide groove 34, and as shown in FIG. Thus, a large storage space 50 is formed inside the storage case 11.

  When the inner partition plate 26 and the central partition 25 are folded and overlapped in the storage case 11, one large storage space 50 is formed inside the box, and envelopes and mail packages outside the fixed form are placed in the storage space 50. It can be stored easily and smoothly.

  When the lateral width of the side plate 31 is set to A and the lateral width of the top plate 30 is set to B so that the central partition 25 is substantially in a flat state in the expanded state in which the top plate 30 and the side plate 31 are expanded, A relationship of W ≦ 2A + B is established between the horizontal width W in the storage case 11 and the width W.

  Further, a rib-like case leg 52 is provided in the lower frame 15 of the storage case 11 so as to protrude in the circumferential direction, and the case leg 52 reinforces the bottom of the storage case 11.

  The case leg 52 of the storage case 52 is configured to be engageable with an engagement recess 53 formed at the center of the case lid 12.

  Furthermore, an inner skirt portion 54 projects toward the inside of the case lid 12. The inner skirt portion 54 is formed along the circumferential direction of the case lid 12 and extends to the middle of the case to terminate. The free end portion of the inner skirt portion 54 is fitted and inserted into the upper frame body 14 of the storage case 11. When the inner skirt portion 54 of the case lid 12 is covered with the storage case 11, the free end portion of the inner skirt portion 54 extends to the middle of the case outer wall 16 with the upper frame body 14 being terminated.

  Since the inner skirt portion 54 of the case lid 12 is placed inside the upper frame 14 of the storage case 11 and extends to the middle of the case outer wall 16, some external force is applied to the storage case 11 assembled in a box shape. Even if it acts, it can be prevented from being folded in a sure and reliable manner, and the storage case 11 is stably held in a box shape.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, a wireless tag 55 is attached to the storage case 11. The wireless tag 55 may be attached to a required position on the case inner wall or the case outer wall including the case bottom of the storage case 11.

  Even when the wireless tag 55 is affixed to the case bottom wall 15a, information can be smoothly exchanged with a reader / writer (not shown), and further, the wireless tag of each postal registered mail 28 stored in the storage case 11 can be used. However, radio waves circulate and exchange information without radio waves interfering with each other. Even between the wireless tags of each registered mail 28 and the wireless tags of the storage case 11, information exchange can be performed and information can be read and written without interference of radio waves.

  When the wireless tag 55 is affixed to the case bottom wall 15a between the support ribs 41, external pressure does not act on the wireless tag 55. Therefore, even if the storage case 11 is repeatedly operated, the wireless tag 55 is damaged. There is little possibility of receiving or being damaged, and the convenience of installation is high.

  Further, the storage case 11 shown in FIG. 1 is assembled in a box shape, with the central partition 25 and the middle partition plate 26 standing, and the inside of the case being partitioned into compartment chambers 27. The envelope-like postal registered mail 28 is sequentially stored in the compartment chambers 27, 27 of the storage case 11 and stood up, and can be used immediately.

  Further, from the box-shaped storage case 11 shown in FIG. 1, after folding the middle partition plate 26 so as to overlap the case bottom wall 16 a, the top plate 30 of the central partition 25 is pressed downward, By developing the pair of side plates 31, the storage case 11 is in the state shown in FIG. 7, and the inside of the case becomes one large storage space 50.

  In the state where the central partition 25 and the middle partition plate 26 in the storage case 11 are folded, as shown in FIG. 7, the vertical and horizontal partition walls inside the case are folded, and the central partition is expanded to be substantially flush. It is in a flattened unfolded state, and a mail parcel or non-standard-size mail can be stored in the large storage space 50.

  From the state shown in FIG. 7, the case outer side wall 16 is folded by folding the case side plate 17 as the tilt plate constituting the case outer wall 16 inside the case, and further folding the folding side plate 18 inside the case. As a result, the upper frame 14 approaches the lower frame 15 and overlaps substantially. As shown in FIG. 8, the storage box 10 is folded and cannot be used.

  In the state shown in FIG. 8, another storage box 10 can be stacked on the storage box 10. In the stacking of the storage boxes 10, the case legs 52 of the storage box 10 that is on the upper side are fitted into the engagement recesses 53 of the lower storage box 10, so that the storage boxes 10 and 10 are stably aligned. The state shown in FIG. 9 is obtained without being stacked and loaded, and the storage space when the storage box 10 is not used can be reduced.

  The handling and operation of the storage box 10 for the next article will be described.

  When handling postal registered mail such as registered mail or simple registered mail, the storage case 11 is assembled in a box shape, while the central partition 25 and the middle partition plate 26 of the storage case 11 on the assembled box are raised and assembled in a standing state. 1 is set in the assembled state shown in FIG. In this case, the storage box 10 functions as a mail box.

  Since each compartment chamber 27 is partitioned and formed in a box-shaped storage case 11 set in an assembled state, flexible envelope-shaped postal registers 28 to which a wireless tag is attached are sequentially erected. Can be stored.

  The registered mail 28 is sequentially stored in an aligned standing state in the chambers 27 and 27 of the storage case 11, for example, about 20 by 20 in total. Each partition chamber 27, 27, which is a storage chamber, is assigned a chamber number in advance for each chamber. The compartment numbers 27 and 27 of the storage case 11 to which the chamber number is given are displayed on the inner wall of the case or the outer wall of the case so that the operator can check at a glance.

  In this way, the postal mail registered 28 from the customer received at the post office underwriting is pasted with a wireless tag (not shown), and the postal mail registered 28 with the wireless tag is attached to each section of the storage case 11. The chambers 27 are sequentially stored. Necessary data such as an ID number is written and recorded in the mail register 28 stored by a reader / writer (not shown).

  In each compartment chamber 27 of the storage case 11, the underwriting station side stores the postal mail register 28 with the wireless tag in order, and records it in each postal mail stored in the wireless tag 55 attached to the storage case 11. The necessary data such as the ID number is acquired by the reader / writer and written as a list. This writing can be easily and automatically performed by using a reader / writer.

  After acquiring and writing necessary data in the wireless tag 55 of the storage case 11 at the underwriting station, the storage case 11 storing the postal registered mail 28 with the wireless tag is covered with the case cover 12 and the storage box 10 is sealed in a sealed state. .

  The storage box 10 as a mail box is transported in a sealed state, and when the storage box 10 reaches the next relay station, it is recorded in the wireless tag data corresponding to the list and the wireless tag of the postal registered mail 28. The data collected in the list and each registered mail 28 are automatically and non-contacted without the storage box 10 being opened on the spot. Done.

  In the relay station, the registered mail 28 stored in the storage box 10 and the recorded data in the list are collated by the reader / writer. If there is no problem in data collation, the storage box 10 is sequentially transferred to the next relay station without being opened.

  Even at the final delivery station, automatic verification by a reader / writer is performed, and a series of delivery operations is simplified. At the delivery office, the storage box 10 is opened, and a delivery person takes out the registered mail 28 from the storage box 10 and delivers it to a delivery destination such as an individual home.

  The registered mail 28 stored in the storage box 10 is compared with the list by the reader / writer. At that time, since each compartment chamber 27, 27 of the storage case 11 is numbered, the postal registered mail 28 in which the problem has occurred is stored even if a problem occurs in the collation between the postal mail register 28 and the list. The chamber number of each compartment chamber 27 can be immediately identified. Moreover, it is possible to immediately recognize whether the problematic postal registered mail 28 is stored in the compartment chamber 27, is lost, or is contained in the compartment chamber 27 of another chamber number. Can do. In addition, it is possible to easily identify or find the postal registered mail 28 in which the wireless tag is broken or the lost mail registered mail 28.

  On the other hand, when handling postal parcels or non-standard-size mail instead of the postal registered mail 28, the storage case 11 folds the central partition 25 and the inner partition plate 26 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the interior of the case is not partitioned by partition walls (the central partition 25 and the middle partition plate 26) from the state in which the interior of the case is separated into the partition chambers 27 and 27 by the central partition 25 in the unfolded state with the central partition 26. Can be set to state.

  In this case, from the box-shaped assembly state shown in FIG. 1, first, the partition plates 26 are first tilted as shown in FIG. Rotate around the ear axis 40 so that it faces outward in the opposite direction. The rotation of each middle partition plate 26 from the standing position to the lying position is performed by pressing the free end side of the middle partition plate 26 so that the engagement convex portion 45 of the elastic stopper mechanism 44 is disengaged from the standing engagement concave portion 47. It can be done smoothly by making it free. Each of the partition plates 26 is rotated until the engaging convex portion 45 engages with the inclining engaging recess 48, and when engaged with the engaging recess 48, each of the intermediate partition plates 26 becomes the case bottom wall of the storage case 11. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, it is in a substantially flush state as it is overlaid so as to overlap with 15a.

  When the top plate 30 of the central partition 25 is pressed downward from the lying state of each middle partition plate 26 shown in FIG. 11, the engaging convex portion (or concave portion) 37 of the elastic stopper mechanism 36 of the central partition 25 is moved to the inside of the case. As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the side plate 31, 31 of the central partition 25 slides along the slide groove 34 with the ear shaft 33 as a slide shaft. And it will develop smoothly. When the top plate 30 is pushed down until it is substantially flush with the side plates 31, 31, the storage case 11 has one large chamber as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. A storage space 50 is formed. In this storage space 50, a plurality of mail parcels and fixed envelopes can be sequentially stored in an upright state.

  In this case, the case bottom portion of the storage case 11 is reinforced in a strong manner in a triple overlapping state by the case bottom portion 15a, the middle partition plate 26, and the central partition 25. In particular, since the central partition 25 and the middle partition plate 26 become vertical partition walls and horizontal partition walls and the rotation support shafts intersect at right angles, the mechanical and physical strength of the case bottom is effectively reinforced. .

  In addition, a wireless tag is also attached to a mail parcel or fixed envelope stored in the storage case 11 on the box, and an ID number and necessary data are written to each wireless tag by a reader / writer and recorded in advance. Therefore, it can be handled in the same way as registered mail.

  Further, although depending on the size and shape of the mail parcel, the storage space including the storage chambers (compartment chambers 27) formed on one side can be provided by laying down only the inner partition plate 26 on one side of the storage case 11. Can be formed. By storing the mail parcel and the envelope outside the fixed size in the storage space, the mail parcel and the postal mail register 28 can be stored in the single storage box 10 and the convenience is improved.

For this reason, the storage box 10 has the partition walls 25 and 26 and the entire box folded, and the case legs 52 of the other storage boxes 10 are inserted into the engagement recesses 53 of the case lid 12 of the storage box 10. Can be stacked.

  In this way, since the plurality of storage boxes 10 and 10 can be stacked in a folded state, the storage boxes can be stacked together when the storage box 10 is not used, and storage space can be saved. . By making the size and size of the case leg 52 of the storage box 10 smaller than the size and size of the engagement recess 53 of the case lid 12, a plurality of storage boxes 10 can be stably stacked and stored during folding storage. Thus, the storage space can be reduced.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the central partition as the vertical partition is configured from the top plate and the pair of side plates. However, the central partition may be configured by a single central partition plate. Good. Further, the central partition plate can be freely tilted between a standing standing position and a folded lying position, and the central partition plate can be tilted and guided by a slide groove formed on the inner wall of the case. Moreover, it is good also as a folding structure which can be raised and lowered like the partition plate.

  In addition, the case side plate forming the case outer wall of the storage case is hinged to the lower part of the upper frame body, and an example in which the suspended position and the horizontal folding position are supported rotatably is shown. The case side plate may be hinged to the upper portion of the lower frame and may be provided so as to be freely tilted between a standing standing position and a folded position. In this case, an elastic stopper mechanism that can be stably held in the standing position may be provided on the lower portion of the upper frame body or on the top (free end) side of the case side plate.
