  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and in a collective box device configured by stacking a plurality of boxes vertically, positioning for stacking the upper and lower boxes can be performed easily and easily. In addition, it is possible to prevent the stack joints of the upper and lower boxes from being visible to the outside with a simple configuration, and the appearance of the collective box device as a whole with a single large box provided with a plurality of doors. When assembling a collective box by stacking multiple boxes up and down, when the box is unpacked and the box is installed on the floor surface, the lower protrusion of the door hits the floor surface and a load is applied to the door to cause deformation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a collective box device that is not damaged.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the collective box device according to the present invention includes a collective box device 5 configured by stacking a plurality of boxes 4 each having a door 3 attached to the opening 2 of the box body 1 so as to be openable and closable. The lower end portion of the box body 1 is protruded downward from the lower end of the box body 1 to form a lower protruding portion 6, and a protrusion 7 is provided on the lower surface of the box body 1. A state in which the protrusions 7 are fitted into the upper surface of the box body 1 so that the protrusions 7 are fitted on the upper surface of the box body 1, and a plurality of boxes 4 are stacked in the vertical direction. Thus, the stacked joints of the upper and lower boxes 4 are concealed by the downward projecting portion 6 at the lower end portion of the door 3.

  With such a configuration, when a plurality of boxes 4 are stacked up and down to form a collective box device 5, a protrusion 7 protruding from the lower surface of the upper box 4 is provided on the upper surface of the lower box 4. By fitting into the recessed portion 8, positioning can be performed when the upper and lower boxes are stacked. Thus, in the state where the boxes 4 are positioned and stacked in a vertical direction, the stacked joints of the upper and lower boxes 4 are hidden by the lower protruding portion 6 at the lower end of the door 3 of the upper box 4 and are not exposed. In addition, when assembling the collective box device 5 by stacking a plurality of boxes 4 vertically at the site, when unpacking the box 4 and temporarily placing it on the floor surface 9, the lower end of the protrusion 7 is connected to the door 3. Since the lower projecting portion 6 of the lower end is positioned below the lower end of the lower projecting portion 6, the lower projecting portion 6 of the door 3 does not hit the floor surface 9, and the load of the door 3 is applied to deform or break the door 3. Does not occur.

  In the present invention, as described above, the protrusions are fitted into the recesses with the boxes stacked up and down, so that the positioning for stacking the upper and lower boxes can be easily and easily performed, and the collective box device is simple and accurate. In addition, the lower end of the door protrudes downward from the lower end of the box body to form a downward protrusion, and a plurality of boxes are stacked up and down, and the lower protrusion of the lower end of the door Since the stack joints are hidden, the stack joints of the upper and lower boxes are not exposed to the outside, and the collective box device is a large box that is integrated as a whole, even though the collective box device is constructed by stacking multiple boxes up and down. The product value is improved by providing an appearance as if a plurality of doors were provided, and the lower end of the protrusion is lower than the lower end of the lower protrusion of the lower end of the door. Even when the box was unpacked and temporarily placed on the floor when assembling the assembly box device at the site, the lower protrusion of the door protruded downward from the lower surface of the box body. However, the downward projecting portion does not hit the floor surface, and the door load is applied so that the door is not deformed or damaged.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
