  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the stopper body 18 is formed in such a shape that the lower surface is opened so that the stopper body 18 can be fitted to the upper portion of the container body 5. Engagement protrusions 18B that engage with the guide portion 9 when fitted to the upper part are provided on the left and right lower edges of the stopper body 18 so as to face each other in the opposite direction. By engaging with the part 9, the stopper body 18 is attached to the container body 5 so as to be prevented from being detached, and can be slid along the guide part 9 in the length direction (left-right direction) of the container body 5. Provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the stopper body 18 has an opening width of the lower surface (opposite width of the left and right inner surfaces of the opening portion in the drawing) slightly wider than an opening width of the opening portion of the lower surface of the handle holding portion 6. When the stopper body 18 is fitted to the upper part of the container body 5 so as to be narrowed, the open part of the lower surface of the stopper body 18 compresses the upper part of the container body 5 from the left-right direction of the drawing (pressure contact). As a result, the width of the insertion port 4 at the portion where the stopper body 18 is located is reduced.

  Further, a thin plate-like connecting projection piece 18 </ b> C for connecting to the handle holding part 6 protrudes from the end of the stopper body 18 on the side contacting the first support surface 6 </ b> A side of the handle holding part 6. On the other hand, a fitting portion 6G for fitting the connecting projection piece 18C is recessed at the end of the handle holding portion 6 on the first support surface 6A side, and the connecting projection piece 18C protrudes in an oblique state. The inclined connecting projection 18C is configured to be in frictional contact with the fitting portion 6G (see FIG. 12), and the stopper body can be simply formed by the frictional force applied to the fitting portion 6G of the connecting projection 18C. It is set as the structure which 18 and the handle holding part 6 do not isolate | separate. More specifically, the stopper body 18 can be separated from the handle holding portion 6 by applying an artificially strong force in the direction away from the handle holding portion 6, but this artificial operation is eliminated. Thus, the stopper 18 is not separated from the handle holding part 6 without permission.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a sandwiching protrusion 6H to be inserted into the insertion port 4 is vertically provided on the upper surface of the open part of the lower surface of the handle holding part 6, and the handle holding part 6 When the stopper body 18 is slid and connected (when the connecting protrusion 18C is inserted into the insertion portion 6G), the width of the insertion port 4 at the portion where the handle holding portion 6 is located is also narrowed by the stopper body 18. Thus, the sandwiching protrusion 6H is in a sandwiched state, and the sandwiching projection 6H generates a frictional resistance in the insertion port 4 due to this sandwiching action, and constitutes the positioning means 8 in a positioning state in which it does not slide easily. .

  Further, when the positioning member 8 slides the stopper body 18 in a direction away from the handle holding part 6, the holding state of the pinching protrusion 6H is released and the handle holding part 6 is freely slid. This is a configuration that enables.

  Further, like the handle handle holding part 6, the stopper body 18 is formed by engaging the engaging protrusion 18B with the guide part 9 from the end of the container body 5 from which the shape retaining member 12 is removed. The stopper 5 is attached to the upper part of the body 5 so as to be fitted, and the stopper 18 attached to the body 5 is slid to the end of the body 5 from which the shape-retaining member 12 is removed. It is set as the structure which can also be disengaged from and removed from the container body 5. FIG. In other words, the number of stopper bodies 18 that can be used can be changed in accordance with the number of handle holding parts 6 attached to the container body 5.

  Further, the stopper body 18 constituting the positioning means 8 of the present embodiment is constituted by an integrally molded product by resin molding, and the fitting portion 6G and the sandwiching projection portion 6H are also formed on the handle portion 6 made of resin. The structure is integrally molded. Thus, if the positioning means 8 is comprised using the resin part (stopper body 18), it will become possible to comprise at lower parts costs than in the first embodiment employing the leaf spring (metal part).

  Moreover, the attachment / detachment structure between the container body 5 and the front door 11 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, in which the shape retaining members 12 fitted to the left and right ends of the container body 5 are formed on the left and right rear portions of the front door 11. The attachment member 14 provided is also used as a structure.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the shape retaining member 12 of the present embodiment is configured so that it can be attached and fixed to the left and right sides of the back surface of the front door 11 by a fastening device 20 such as a screw 20, The upper part of the outer side surface of each shape-retaining member 12 is cut and formed so as to be deformed so as to open outwardly against the elasticity of the shape-retaining member 12, and the upper end portion of the cut piece 12A is By projecting inwardly the claw portion 19 that locks to the upper portion of the body 5 end, and opening the cut piece 12A outward, the end of the body 5 is attached to the shape retaining member 12 from above. When the insertion piece can be inserted and the cut piece 12A is returned to its original state after insertion, the claw 19 is positioned at the upper end of the body 5 as shown in FIG. It is set as the structure hold | maintained in a state.

  Further, below the claw portion 19, an insertion protrusion 19 </ b> A to be inserted into the insertion port 4 of the container body 5 is provided in a projecting state, and the insertion protrusion 19 </ b> A is inserted into the insertion port 4, The body 5 is attached to the shape-retaining member 12 in a stable state that is less likely to rattle. Further, both the claw portion 19 and the insertion protrusion 19A are integrally formed on the resin shape-retaining member 12, which is excellent in mass productivity and can be configured at low cost.

  Further, when the container 5 is removed from the shape retaining member 12 and the inside of the container 5 is cleaned, the cutout portion 12A of each shape retaining member 12 is opened to the outside in reverse to the above, and the container 5 is moved upward. It is a configuration that can be easily fitted and removed.

  If each shape-retaining member 12 has a structure that also serves as a mounting member 14 for the front door 11 as in this embodiment, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the configuration of the embodiment 1. It becomes configurable.
