Description

  The present invention relates to a self-supporting storage box in which a bottom plate, a front plate, both side plates, a back plate, and a top plate form a quadrangular box body that can be folded and assembled by hinge connection and is easy to assemble. More specifically, the present invention relates to a self-supporting storage box that can be folded after being assembled by releasing the fasteners between the hook-and-loop fasteners, and is suitable for use as a temporary storage box for home delivery.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is known that a panel box is connected by hinge connection to constitute a storage box that can be assembled and used as a delivery box device (Patent Document 1). This conventional home delivery box device is box-like and takes a place even when not in use, and is unsuitable for home use. In particular, there are few things that can be easily folded and assembled, and they are inappropriate for use by ordinary people.
JP-A-11-336446, (FIG. 1)

  The conventional delivery box device is large, has no bottom plate, has no top plate, is not foldable and can be assembled, and is unsuitable for home use when not in use. In particular, the courier service is not always present and the frequency of use is not high, so the appearance and size when not being used are important factors.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a self-supporting storage box that can be easily folded and assembled by ordinary people.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a self-supporting storage box according to the present invention is a rectangular box in which a bottom plate, a front plate, both side plates, a back plate, and a top plate can be folded and assembled by hinge connection. A hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the inner surface of the support bent piece formed by bending the front ends of both side plates projecting forward from the back plate inward at a substantially right angle, and bent in a mountain shape at the approximate center. The bottom plate and the front plate provided with a bendable part are interposed between both side plates, the bottom plate base and the lower end of the back plate are connected to be able to be bent in the vertical direction, and the front plate is connected to the bottom plate tip so that it can be bent in the vertical direction. A hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the outer surface portion on both sides of the front plate, and the inner surface portion of the support bent piece of the both-side plate and the outer surface portion on both sides of the front plate are connected to each other by the hook-and-loop fastener.

  The self-supporting storage box according to claim 1 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener on an inner surface portion of a support bent piece formed by bending the front ends of both side plates protruding forward from the back plate inward substantially at right angles. By installing hook-and-loop fasteners on the outer surface of both sides of the plate and connecting the hook-and-loop fasteners together, the two-side plates and the front plate are connected, so that the mutual position does not change, and the self-supporting storage box can be deformed or collapsed with a little external force Therefore, it is possible to maintain a self-supporting state.

  When folding this free-standing storage box, the side plates and the front plate will move freely when the hook-and-loop fasteners are uncoupled from each other, and the side plates are bent horizontally by hinged connection with the back plate. As a result of the polymerization, the bottom plate bends at the bendable portion and overlaps with the back plate together with the front plate. Finally, the top plate is superposed on the top surface, and the whole is folded compactly.

  In this way, this self-supporting storage box can be easily assembled when used, and functions as a self-supporting storage box with little external force after assembly, and when folded, a hook-and-loop fastener When the mutual connection is released, both side plates and the front plate can move freely, and the whole can be folded compactly, and the appearance is good without taking up space.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 are perspective views showing an assembled state of the self-supporting storage box according to the present invention. 1 to 5, 1 is a top plate, 2 is a back plate, 3, 4 is a side plate, 5 is a front plate, and 6 is a bottom plate. The top plate 1, the back plate 2, the side plates 3, 4, the front plate 5, and the bottom plate 6 are configured in a rectangular box body that can be folded and assembled by hinge connection.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the top plate 1 is connected to the upper end of the back plate 2, the side plates 3 and 4 are connected to both ends of the back plate 2, and the bottom plate 6 is connected to the lower end of the back plate 2 by hinge connection. It is attached. The bottom plate 6 has a bendable portion 7 that bends in a chevron shape, and a front plate 5 is coupled to the tip portion by hinge coupling. The hook-and-loop fasteners 10 and 11 are provided on the inner surface portions of the support bent pieces 8 and 9 formed by bending the front ends of the side plates 3 and 4 protruding forward from the back plate 2 substantially inwardly at right angles.

  The front plate 5 is provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 12 and 13 on the outer surface portions on both sides. The hook-and-loop fastener 10 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 are combined, and the hook-and-loop fastener 11 and the hook-and-loop fastener 13 are combined, as shown in FIG. The side plates 3 and 4 and the front plate 5 are combined. When the side plates 3 and 4 and the front plate 5 are coupled, the positional relationship between the side plates 3 and 4 and the front plate 5 is fixed, and the top plate 1 coupled to the upper end of the back plate 2 by hinge coupling as shown in FIG. A self-supporting storage box that covers the upper ends of the side plates 3 and 4 and the front plate 5 and is less likely to be deformed or collapsed with a slight external force is configured.

  Reference numeral 14 denotes a key engagement surface formed by bending the upper end of the front plate 5 inward at a substantially right angle, 15 is a key hole formed in the key engagement surface 14, and 16 is provided on the top plate 1. Key. A key 16 provided on the top plate 1 is engaged with a key hole 15 formed in the key engagement surface 14. When the self-supporting storage box is folded, the assembly order may be reversed.
