  Hereinafter, a storage container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Each figure shown below is provided with an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system for ease of explanation and understanding. In this coordinate system, the bottom 10 of the storage container 1 is the XY plane, and the direction from the bottom 10 toward the opening of the storage container 1 is the Z direction.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage container 1 of the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view of the storage container 1, (a) is an overall view, and (b) is a partially enlarged view. As shown in the figure, the storage container 1 is a box-shaped container whose upper surface (Z plus side surface) is open, and includes a rectangular bottom portion 10 and side wall portions 20 and 30 that are erected from an outer edge portion of the bottom portion 10. Although this storage container 1 is not limited to this, it is manufactured with the corrugated paper.

  The side wall parts 20 and 30 have the 1st side wall part 20 and the 2nd side wall part 30 which are comprised by the pair of wall member which mutually opposes. One of the first side wall portions 20 includes an inner wall portion 21 disposed on the storage space S side, an outer wall portion 22 that is the outermost portion of the storage container 1, and a connecting wall portion that connects the inner wall portion 21 and the outer wall portion 22. 23. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the height Z <b> 1 of the upper side portion of the inner wall portion 21 from the bottom portion 10 is lower than the height Z <b> 2 of the outer wall portion 22 from the bottom portion 10. Accordingly, the angle α formed between the connecting wall portion 23 and the outer wall portion 22 is an acute angle.

  The 2nd side wall part 30 is a rectangular member comprised by the shape of one plate, Comprising: The groove part 31 is formed in the both ends side of an opening side. On the other hand, groove portions 24 are formed on both ends of the first side wall portion 20 on the bottom side of the inner wall portion 21. And the 1st side wall part 20 and the 2nd side wall part 30 are connected by inserting the groove part 24 of the inner wall part 21 in the groove part 31 of the 2nd side wall part 30. As shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the width X1 of the groove portion 31 of the second side wall portion 30 is wider than the thickness X2 of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20. For this reason, in the state of FIG. 2 in which the object to be stored is not stored, the inner surface (side surface of the storage space S) of the inner wall portion 21 is in contact with the groove wall of the groove portion 31 on the bottom side 31a of the groove portion 31, and the outer surface of the inner wall portion 21 is It is in contact with the groove wall of the groove 31 on the opening side 31 b of the groove 24. Thereby, the inner wall portion 21 is arranged to be inclined by an angle β with respect to the Z axis.

  Inside the storage space S of the storage container 1, two holding members 40 are arranged opposite to each other across the center of the storage space S. The holding member 40 includes a central plate portion 41 and two side plate portions 42 extending from both sides of the central plate portion 41. As shown in FIG. 1, the side plate portion 42 has a height Z3 on the side of the central plate portion, and becomes lower as the distance from the central plate portion 41 increases, and the both end portions 42b have a height Z4 lower than Z3. The side plate portion 42 is disposed so as to surround the center C of the storage space S together with the central plate portion 41. By arranging the holding member 40 so as to surround the center C in this way, an octagon centered on the center C of the storage space S is formed by the two holding members 40 and the second side wall portion 30 facing each other. The

The bottom side end portion 41 a of the central plate portion 41 is continuous with the bottom side end portion 21 a of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20.
On the other hand, the bottom side end portion 42 a of the side plate portion 42 is not fixed to the bottom side end portion 21 a of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20 and to the bottom portion 10.
As a result, the holding member 40 has an inclination of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20 as indicated by an arrow A in FIG. 2B with the bottom side end portion (21a) of the central plate portion 41 as the center. The angle β can be swung.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the storage object L is stored in the storage container 1. These objects to be stored L are cylindrical objects to be stored such as photographing lenses. FIG. 3A shows a case where a small-diameter object L is stored, and FIG. 3B shows a case where the lower part stores a small-diameter object L with a large diameter at the upper part, and FIG. ) Shows a case where a large-diameter storage object L is stored. In the present embodiment, the term “small diameter” refers to the diameter of a stored object that can be stored with the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20 of the storage container 1 at an angle similar to that in a state in which the stored object is not stored. . The “large diameter” is a diameter larger than the small diameter, and when a large-diameter storage object is stored, the bottom side end portion 21a of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20 of the storage container 1 is A diameter that moves in a direction in which the storage space S expands from a state in which the storage object L is not stored.

  FIG. 3A shows a case where the small-diameter object L is stored as described above. The holding member 40 holds the object L in a state substantially perpendicular to the bottom portion 10. FIG. 3B shows a case where the object to be stored L whose lower part has a small diameter and whose upper part has a large diameter is stored as described above. The holding member 40 is inclined with respect to the bottom portion 10 and holds the object L in a state of being in contact with the inner wall portion 21. FIG.3 (c) shows the case where the to-be-stored object L of a large diameter is accommodated as mentioned above. The bottom side end portion 21 a of the inner wall portion 21 moves in the direction of expanding the storage space S according to the diameter of the storage object L. The inner wall portion 21 is movable at a maximum until the inner wall portion 21 is perpendicular to the bottom portion 10 (until the outer surface of the inner wall portion 21 contacts the inner surface of the groove portion 31). FIG. 3C shows a state in which an object L having the maximum diameter that can be stored in the storage container 1 is stored. As described above, the storage container 1 of the present embodiment can store objects to be stored having different thicknesses and objects to be stored L whose diameters are not constant.

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the angle α between the outer wall portion 22 and the connecting wall portion 23 is an acute angle. FIG. 4 is a view showing a case where the angle α is 90 degrees or more as a comparative form of the present embodiment shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, when the holding member 40 is inclined by the angle β along the inner wall portion 21 and presses the inner wall portion 21 with a force F, when the angle α is 90 degrees or more, the inner wall portion 21 has a F component force. An upward force (F1 in the figure) is applied. Therefore, the inner wall 21 may be lifted in the direction of the force F1 and the shape of the storage container 1 may be lost.

  However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the angle α between the outer wall portion 22 and the connecting wall portion 23 is an acute angle. When the holding member 40 is inclined by the angle β along the inner wall portion 21 and presses the inner wall portion 21 with a force F, F1 which is a component force of F becomes a downward force on the inner wall portion 21. Therefore, the inner wall portion 21 does not lift upward, and the shape of the storage container 1 is not easily broken.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the side plate portion 42 of the holding member 40 is gradually lowered from the height Z4 to Z3 as it is separated from the central plate portion 41 as described above as shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a view showing a comparative embodiment having a shape of the holding member 40 different from the present embodiment.

  FIG. 5A shows a case where the side plate portion 42 is equal in height to the central plate portion 41 and has a constant height as the holding member 40. FIG. 5B shows a case where the central portion of the side plate portion 42 is the highest and the both ends are lower. FIG. 5C is a diagram showing a case where the height of the side plate portion 42 increases as the distance from the central plate portion 41 increases.

  For example, when a cylindrical storage item such as a lens barrel is stored, in FIG. 5 (a), six locations on the upper side of the two central plate portions 41 and the four side plate portions 42 are stored simultaneously. Hit the end of the. For this reason, it is difficult to store the objects to be stored, and it is necessary to open and hold the upper side of the holding member 40 at the end of the objects to be stored. In FIG. 5 (b), when the cylindrical object to be stored is inserted, the four apexes of the mountain shape of the side plate portion 42 hit the end of the object to be stored. For this reason, as in FIG. 5A, it is difficult to store the object to be stored, and it is necessary to open and hold the upper side of the holding member 40 at the end of the object to be stored. Also in FIG. 5C, when inserting a cylindrical object to be stored, the four end portions of the side plate portion 42 hit the end of the object to be stored, similarly to the mountain shape. For this reason, similarly to FIGS. 5A and 5B, it is difficult to store the object to be stored, and it is necessary to open and push the upper side of the holding member 40 at the end of the object to be stored.

  On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, when inserting a cylindrical object to be stored, first, the upper side of the central plate portion 41 hits the side surface of the cylindrical object. At this time, the central plate portion 41 is inclined with the bottom side end portion 41a as the center, and the opening of the holding member 40 is widened, so that it is easy to store the objects to be stored.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the storage container 1 is demonstrated. The storage container 1 of this embodiment is an assembly of a single flat paper member. FIG. 6 is a view showing the storage container 1 before assembly.

  In the unfolded state before assembly, the first side wall 20 extends continuously on the short side of the rectangular bottom 10. The part which becomes the first side wall part 20 is also rectangular, and is continuous with the outer wall part 22, the connecting wall part 23 and the inner wall part 21 from the bottom part 10 side. A holding member 40 further continues from the inner wall portion 21. The inner wall portion 21 is continuous with the central plate portion 41 of the holding member 40, but is not continuous with the side plate portion 42, and a notch 43 is provided between the inner wall portion 21 and the side plate portion 42. And the groove part 24 is formed in the inner wall part 21 side of the part in which the cut 43 is provided. The corners of the groove 24 are cut into a substantially V shape.

  The second side wall 30 extends continuously on the long side of the bottom 10. The part which becomes the second side wall part 30 is also rectangular, and becomes a folding line 32 at a part slightly on the bottom 10 side from the center. A groove portion 31 is formed so as to intersect with the fold line 32, and a portion where the groove portion 31 and the fold line 32 intersect is cut into a V shape.

  Next, an assembly method for assembling the storage container 1 by folding the developed paper material will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 7A, the boundary line between the second side wall portion 30 and the bottom portion 10 is valley-folded, and the folding line 32 of the second side wall portion 30 is mountain-folded. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the boundary between the first side wall 20 and the bottom 10 is valley-folded, between the outer wall 22 and the connecting wall 23 in the first side wall 20, and the connecting wall. A valley fold is formed between the portion 23 and the inner wall portion 21. Further, a mountain fold is formed between the inner wall portion 21 and the central plate portion 41 of the holding member 40, and a valley fold is formed between the central plate portion 41 and the side plate portion 42. As shown in FIG. 7C, the groove portion 24 of the inner wall portion 21 is inserted into the groove portion 31 of the second side wall portion 30. FIG.7 (d) is the figure which showed the state which inserted the one side. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, since the groove portion 31 is thicker than the thickness of the inner wall portion 21, the inner wall portion 21 is inclined by the restoring force of the paper. Furthermore, the other first side wall portion 20 is also assembled to complete the storage container 1 as shown in FIG.

  In this state, for example, a cylindrical object is stored in the storage container 1 by being inserted between the holding members 40. The storage container 1 storing the objects to be stored is stored in a hexahedral outer box 50 as shown in FIG.

As described above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The bottom side end of the inner wall portion 21 extends in the direction of expanding the storage space S in accordance with the diameter of the storage object L, until the inner wall portion 21 is perpendicular to the bottom portion 10 (the outer surface of the inner wall portion 21 is a groove portion). It is movable (until it contacts the inner surface of 31). For this reason, the storage container 1 of this embodiment can store the articles to be stored having different thicknesses.

(2) The holding member 40 can swing by an angle β that is an inclination of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20 around the end portion on the bottom 10 side of the central plate portion 41. Thus, since the holding member 40 can be inclined by the angle β, the storage container 1 can store objects to be stored having different thicknesses.

(3) The angle α between the outer wall portion 22 and the connecting wall portion 23 is an acute angle. Therefore, when the holding member 40 is inclined by the angle β along the inner wall portion 21 and presses the inner wall portion 21 with a force F, F1, which is a component force of F, is a downward force on the inner wall portion 21. Therefore, the inner wall portion 21 does not lift upward, and the shape of the storage container 1 is not easily broken.

(4) In the case of the present embodiment, when inserting a cylindrical object to be stored, the upper side of the central plate part 41 hits the side surface of the cylindrical stored object. At this time, the central plate part 41 has a bottom side end 41a. Since the opening of the holding member 40 is widened with the center being inclined, it is easy to store the objects to be stored.

(5) The storage container 1 of this embodiment is manufactured with corrugated paper. Since no foam cushioning material is used, the product is environmentally friendly. Moreover, sufficient strength can be obtained even if corrugated paper is used. In addition, the use of corrugated paper makes it possible to manufacture at low cost as a whole because the material cost is low and processing is easy. Furthermore, since it can be manufactured from one sheet of paper, the number of parts is reduced, and from this point, it is possible to manufacture at low cost. Further, since the corrugated cardboard has cushioning properties, the protective property of the objects to be stored in the storage container 1 is excellent.

(Deformation)
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes as described below are possible, and these are also within the scope of the present invention.
(1) In the present embodiment, the width X1 of the groove portion 31 formed on both ends of the second side wall portion 30 on the opening side is made wider than the thickness X2 of the inner wall portion 21 of the first side wall portion 20, thereby The inner wall portion 21 of the side wall portion 20 is disposed to be inclined by an angle β with respect to the Z axis. This is because it is easy to form a thick groove. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the groove portions 31 formed on both end sides on the opening side of the second side wall portion 30 may be formed obliquely. By forming the groove 31 obliquely in this way, the inner wall 21 of the first side wall 20 can also be disposed at an angle β with respect to the Z axis.

(2) In this embodiment, the storage container is manufactured using corrugated cardboard as a material. However, the material is not limited to this, and may be a plastic material, cardboard, or the like.
(3) In the present embodiment, an interchangeable lens has been described as an example of an object to be stored, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a close-up ring, a finder accessory, a variable angle finder, a lens hood, and the like may be used.
In addition, although embodiment and a deformation | transformation form can also be used in combination suitably, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
