Description

The present invention relates to, for example, a storage box for accommodating sheet-shaped articles in an upright position.

There are various types of boxes for accommodating articles. For example, a box that can be assembled by bending and adhering a piece of paper cut into a predetermined shape is widely used. By processing a piece of paper to make a box, the manufacturing cost of the box can be kept low.

Jikkenhei 6-59215 Gazette

Paper boxes are difficult to assemble into the desired shape because the bends tend to bulge due to the waist of the paper. In particular, when the paper is folded 180 degrees at the bent portion, it is difficult to eliminate the bulge near the bent portion unless the papers on both sides of the bent portion are adhered to each other.

For this reason, for example, if a storage box for displaying articles (commodities) is made of paper, a part of the box swells undesirably and the storage box cannot be assembled into a desired shape, so that the articles can be stably assembled. It is difficult to store it in a storage box and display it in a good-looking manner.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage box that can be manufactured at low cost and can display articles in a good-looking manner.

One aspect of the storage box of the present invention is to stack and store a plurality of sheet-shaped articles in an upright position. This storage box extends substantially in the vertical direction facing the article at one end in the stacking direction, and has a front plate having a lower vertical height than the article and a front plate on the other end side in the stacking direction of a plurality of articles. A back plate that is arranged substantially parallel to the face plate and has a higher vertical height than the front plate, and a bottom plate that is provided substantially horizontally by integrally connecting the vertical lower end of the front plate and the vertical lower end of the back plate. A support plate that is integrally folded inward from the vertical upper end of the back plate and placed facing the article at the other end in the stacking direction, and has a support plate longer than the vertical height of the back plate and the opposite of the upper end of the support plate. It has a positioning plate that is integrally provided at the lower end, is arranged so as to face the inner surface of the bottom plate, and positions the lower end of the support plate between the lower end of the front plate and the lower end of the back plate. The support plate has a fold ruled line at a position substantially parallel to the upper end of the support plate and away from the upper end, and has a bent portion in which the support plate is bent by the fold ruled line in a direction in which the support plate is convex toward the back plate. ..

According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage box that can be manufactured at low cost and can display articles in a good-looking manner.

Hereinafter, the storage box 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 10 of the present embodiment has a storage unit 20 for accommodating a plurality of flat sheet-shaped articles O in an upright position. The article O has a substantially rectangular sheet shape, and all have the same shape. The article O may be, for example, a stack of a plurality of mounts (none of which are shown) having a plurality of stickers attached (four in the present embodiment) stacked and placed in a flat bag P. The accommodating portion 20 has a size capable of accommodating a plurality of such sheet-shaped articles O (eight in the present embodiment). In the present embodiment, the articles O are housed in the accommodating portion 20 in a horizontal direction in which the longitudinal direction thereof is along the vertical direction.

The article O to be accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 may be a thin sheet or plate that can be stacked in an upright position, and the number and shape thereof may be any. The width of the accommodating portion 20 along the stacking direction of the articles O can be adjusted to the width of the accommodating portion O in the stacking direction by changing the bending position of the positioning plate 6 (described later) with respect to the support plate 5 (described later). It can be easily adjusted.

The storage box 10 is shipped in a state in which a predetermined number of articles O are stacked and stored in the storage unit 20 (for example, in the state shown in FIG. 1), and a plurality of sets are packed together in an outer box (not shown). Then, at the shipping destination store or the like, the outer box is unpacked, the storage box 10 containing a predetermined number of articles O is taken out, and the storage box 10 is stored as it is (a plurality of articles O are stacked and stored in the storage unit 20). For example, the article O is displayed in the state shown in FIG. 1). That is, the storage box 10 of the present embodiment functions as a box for storing the article O and also as a box for displaying the article O.

The storage box 10 of the present embodiment is assembled by bending one sheet material 1 having a predetermined shape shown in FIG. 2 at a plurality of places and adhering the predetermined places. In FIG. 2, the solid line indicates a line for making a cut in the sheet material 1, the alternate long and short dash line indicates a line for folding the sheet material 1 into a mountain fold in which the front side of the paper surface is convex, and the two-dot chain line indicates the line in which the sheet material 1 is convex on the back side of the paper surface. The line to fold the valley is shown. FIG. 3 shows an example of the housing box 10 in the assembled state. FIG. 3 shows a first state of the storage box 10. The storage box 10 can also be in the second state shown in FIG. The sheet material 1 is, for example, a cardboard similar to the material of the tissue box, or another material such as a resin sheet or a non-woven fabric can be used as the sheet material 1. In this embodiment, cardboard is used as the sheet material 1.

Hereinafter, the structure of the storage box 10 in the first state will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the storage box 10 has a front plate 2, a back plate 3, a bottom plate 4, a support plate 5, and a positioning plate 6. Further, the storage box 10 has a pair of side plates 8R and 8L. The accommodating portion 20 for accommodating a plurality of articles O in a stacked manner is a space surrounded by a front plate 2, a support plate 5, a positioning plate 6, and a pair of side plates 8R and 8L. The front and the upper side of the storage box 10 are largely open, and a relatively large opening 12 is provided in the front and the upper side of the storage portion 20. The opening 12 has a shape in which the upper end 2a of the front plate 2, the upper end 3a of the back plate 3 (that is, the upper end 5a of the support plate 5), and the inclined upper ends 8a, 8a of the pair of side plates 8R, 8L are connected in a rectangular shape. .. The article O can be accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 through the opening 12, and can be taken out from the accommodating portion 20 through the opening 12.

The front plate 2, the back plate 3, the support plate 5, the positioning plate 6, and the pair of side plates 8R and 8L are composed of a part of the sheet material 1, and the bottom plate 4 is bonded by overlapping a plurality of parts of the sheet material 1. It is composed by doing. Hereinafter, for the sake of clarity, the bottom plate 4 may be regarded as a single plate-like object. Further, in the following description, the storage box 10 is defined in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front-rear direction when viewed from the arrow direction in FIG.

The front plate 2 is arranged in front of the storage box 10 and extends in a substantially vertical direction. The front plate 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in which the width on the left and right is larger than the height. The height of the front plate 2 is lower than the height of the article O housed in the storage box 10. On the surface of the article O on the front plate 2 side, a product name or the like is printed at a position visible to the user in a state where the article O is displayed. In other words, the height of the front plate 2 is set to a certain degree lower according to the height position of the printed matter 21 so that the printed matter 21 (FIG. 1) is not hidden by the front plate 2.

The back plate 3 is arranged behind the storage box 10 at a distance from the front plate 2, and extends substantially parallel to the front plate 2. The left and right widths of the back plate 3 are substantially the same as the width of the front plate 2, and the back plate 3 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a height larger than the left and right widths. The height of the back plate 3 is at least higher than that of the front plate 2, for example, substantially the same height as the height of the article O, and in the present embodiment, it is slightly higher than the height of the article O. In order to prevent the problem that the article O collides with the outer box and bends when the storage box 10 containing a plurality of articles O is packed in the outer box and transported, the back plate 3 is rotated once from the article O. I set it to a large size.

The bottom plate 4 is arranged substantially horizontally by integrally connecting the lower end 2b of the front plate 2 and the lower end 3b of the back plate 3. The left and right widths of the bottom plate 4 are substantially the same as those of the front plate 2 and the back plate 3, and the left and right widths are formed in a substantially rectangular shape larger than the front and rear widths. The width of the bottom plate 4 in the front-rear direction is sufficiently larger than the width in the stacking direction of the eight articles O, and the storage box 10 is stabilized when the storage box 10 is placed in contact with the bottom plate 4 on a surface or the like. It is set to a width that allows it to be used. When the sheet-shaped articles O are stacked and accommodated in an upright position, the width of the accommodating portion 20 may be slightly larger than the width in the stacking direction of the articles O, and the width of the bottom plate 4 in the front-rear direction is the same as the width of the accommodating portion 20. The degree is fine. However, in the present embodiment, in consideration of the installation stability of the storage box 10, the width of the bottom plate 4 in the front-rear direction is sufficiently larger than the width in the stacking direction of the articles O. In the present embodiment, the width of the bottom plate 4 of the storage box 10 in the front-rear direction is twice or more the width of the storage portion 20.

One side plate 8R is arranged on the right side of the storage box 10, is substantially orthogonal to the front plate 2 and the back plate 3, and extends substantially in the vertical direction. The side plate 8R is formed in a right-angled trapezoidal shape including two adjacent right angles. The longer side of the two parallel sides of the side plate 8R has substantially the same length as the height of the back plate 3, and is integrally connected to the right end of the back plate 3. The shorter side of the two parallel sides of the side plate 8R has substantially the same length as the height of the front plate 2, and is integrally connected to the right end of the front plate 2. The lower end 8b orthogonal to the two parallel sides of the side plate 8R is integrally connected to the right end of the bottom plate 4. The upper end 8a of the side plate 8R is inclined downward from the upper end 3a of the back plate 3 toward the upper end 2a of the front plate 2.

The other side plate 8L is arranged on the left side of the storage box 10, is substantially orthogonal to the front plate 2 and the back plate 3, and extends substantially in the vertical direction. The side plate 8L is formed in a substantially right-angled trapezoidal shape congruent with the side plate 8R. The longer side of the two parallel sides of the side plate 8L has substantially the same length as the height of the back plate 3, and is integrally connected to the left end of the back plate 3. The shorter side of the two parallel sides of the side plate 8L has substantially the same length as the height of the front plate 2, and is integrally connected to the left end of the front plate 2. The lower end 8b orthogonal to the two parallel sides of the side plate 8L is integrally connected to the left end of the bottom plate 4. The upper end 8a of the side plate 8L is inclined downward from the upper end 3a of the back plate 3 toward the upper end 2a of the front plate 2.

The support plate 5 has an upper end 5a which is also an upper end 3a of the back plate 3. The support plate 5 is integrally connected to the back plate 3 via the upper end 5a (upper end 3a). The support plate 5 is folded back inside the storage box 10 at the upper end 3a of the back plate 3 and is arranged behind the storage portion 20. The support plate 5 is folded back approximately 180 degrees with respect to the back plate 3 at its upper end 5a. The left and right widths of the support plate 5 are substantially the same as the width of the back plate 3. The length between the upper end 5a and the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 in a state of not being bent by the folded ruled line Lk (described later) is sufficiently longer than the height of the back plate 3. The support plate 5 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape whose upper and lower sides are longer than the left and right widths.

The support plate 5 has a linear fold ruled line Lk extending substantially parallel to the upper end 5a at a position separated downward from the upper end 5a. The support plate 5 has a substantially flat parallel portion 51 between the upper end 5a and the fold ruled line Lk, and a curved portion 52 between the fold ruled line Lk and the lower end 5b. The vertical length of the curved portion 52 is longer than the vertical length of the parallel portion 51. The parallel portion 51 is arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 3. The curved portion 52 is curved in a direction protruding toward the front plate 2. The support plate 5 has a bent portion 50 formed by bending the support plate 5 in a direction protruding toward the back plate 3 at the position of the folding ruled line Lk. The degree of bending of the curved portion 52 can be adjusted by changing the height position of the folded ruled line Lk and the length of the support plate 5 in the vertical direction.

The positioning plate 6 is integrally connected to the lower end 5b of the support plate 5. The positioning plate 6 is arranged so as to face the inner surface of the bottom plate 4 and substantially parallel to the bottom plate 4. As shown in FIG. 2, in the sheet material 1 before bending, a U-shape is formed between the support plate 5 and the positioning plate 6 from the line L5 which is the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 toward the fold ruled line Lk. A protruding notch 60 is provided. Both ends of the notch 60 are terminated by the line L5, and the notch 60 is provided at a position separated from both ends of the line L5 toward the center. As shown in FIG. 3, the positioning plate 6 includes a protruding portion 61 surrounded by the notch 60 and a width-determining portion 62 other than the protruding portion 61 in a state of being arranged substantially at right angles to the support plate 5.

The positioning plate 6 is arranged in a posture orthogonal to the support plate 5 by bending the sheet material 1 at a substantially right angle in the direction in which the front side is convex in FIG. 2 along the lines L5 on the outer sides of the left and right ends of the notch 60. That is, the positioning plate 6 extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the support plate 5 and is integrally provided at the lower end 5b of the support plate 5. The maximum width of the positioning plate 6 in the front-rear direction is substantially the same as the width of the bottom plate 4. The width determining portion 62 of the positioning plate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating portion 20. The protruding portion 61 of the positioning plate 6 is arranged between the back plate 3 and the support plate 5. Both ends of the positioning plate 6 in the front-rear direction abut on the inner surface of the front plate 2 and the inner surface of the back plate 3, respectively.

The width in the front-rear direction of the width-determining portion 62 of the positioning plate 6 defines the width in the front-rear direction of the accommodating portion 20. That is, by setting the width of the width determining portion 62 (distance between the front end 6a of the positioning plate 6 and the line L5) according to the width in the stacking direction of the plurality of articles O accommodated in the storage box 10, the front The distance between the lower end 2b of the face plate 2 and the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 can be substantially the same as the width in the stacking direction of the articles O. In the present embodiment, the distance between the lower end 2b of the front plate 2 and the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 is set to be substantially the same as the width in the stacking direction of the article O.

The length from the upper end 5a of the support plate 5 to the fold ruled line Lk, that is, the height position in the vertical direction of the bent portion 50, is such that the support plate 5 is bent along the fold ruled line Lk and the positioning plate 6 is parallel to the bottom plate 4. In the arranged state, the parallel portion 51 of the support plate 5 is set at a position where it is arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 3. In other words, the vertical position of the bent portion 50 may be any position as long as the parallel portion 51 is arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 3 when the support plate 5 is bent at the bent portion 50, and the material of the sheet material 1. It may be set to the optimum position according to the thickness and thickness.

Here, the shape of the sheet material 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 2, a left side plate 8L is integrally provided at the left end of the back plate 3 via a line L1. In the side plate 8L, the longer side of the two parallel sides is connected to the back plate 3 via the line L1. The front plate 2 is integrally provided on the shorter side of the two parallel sides of the side plate 8L via the wire L2. At the left end of the drawing of the front plate 2, a right side plate 8R is integrally provided via a line L3. In the side plate 8R, the shorter side of the two parallel sides is connected to the front plate 2 via the line L3.

A support plate 5 is integrally provided at the upper end of the drawing of the back plate 3 via a wire L4. More specifically, the parallel portion 51 of the support plate 5 is connected to the upper end 3a of the back plate 3 via the wire L4. A positioning plate 6 is integrally provided at the upper end (lower end 5b) of the support plate 5 via a wire L5. More specifically, the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 is connected to the width determining portion 62 of the positioning plate 6 via the wire L5.

A glue flap 11 is integrally provided at the right end of the back plate 3 in the drawing via a wire L6. The proof wrap 11 is a portion to be adhered to the inner surface side of the longer side of the two parallel sides of the right side plate 8R. At the lower end of the drawing of the back plate 3, a back side portion 13 constituting a part of the bottom plate 4 is integrally provided via a line L7. A glue flap 14 is integrally provided on the back surface side portion 13 via the wire L8. A glue flap 15 is integrally provided at the lower end of the left side plate 8L via a line L9. The proof wrap 14 is laminated and adhered to the outside of the glue flap 15.

At the lower end of the drawing of the front plate 2, a front side portion 16 constituting a part of the bottom plate 4 is integrally provided via a line L10. A glue flap 17 is integrally provided on the front side portion 16 via the wire L11. A glue flap 18 is integrally provided at the lower end of the right side plate 8R via a wire L12. The proof wrap 17 is laminated and adhered to the outside of the glue flap 18.

Next, the method of assembling the storage box 10 described above will be described mainly with reference to FIG.
First, the lines L1, L2, L3, and L6 of the sheet material 1 are folded in valleys, and the front plate 2, the back plate 3, and the pair of side plates 8R and 8L are arranged in a cylindrical shape. In this state, the outer surface of the glue flap 11 and the inner surface of the side plate 8R are adhered with an adhesive. Here, as for the direction in which the sheet material 1 is bent, the direction in which the sheet material 1 is convex in the front direction of the paper surface is referred to as a mountain fold, and the direction in which the back side of the paper surface is convex is referred to as a valley fold. Further, unless otherwise specified, the bending angle of the sheet material 1 in each line L is assumed to be a right angle.

Next, the lines L7, L9, L10, and L12 of the sheet material 1 are folded in valleys, and the lines L8 and L11 are folded in mountains. Then, the glue flap 18 is partially overlapped on the outside of the back surface side portion 13 of the bottom plate 4, and the glue flap 15 is partially overlapped on the outside of the front surface side portion 16. Further, a part of the back side portion 13 is arranged inside the front side portion 16, a part of the front side portion 16 is arranged inside the back side portion 13, and the front side portion 16 and the back side portion 13 are arranged with each other. Engage.

Then, the glue flap 18 is arranged inside the front side portion 16, and the glue flap 17 is overlapped on the outside of the glue flap 18 and adhered by an adhesive. Further, the glue flap 15 is arranged inside the back surface side portion 13, and the glue flap 14 is overlapped on the outside of the glue flap 15 and adhered by an adhesive. In this state, the back side portion 13, the glue flap 14, the glue flap 15, the front side portion 16, the glue flap 17, and the glue flap 18 form a substantially rectangular bottom plate 4.

Further, after that, the line L5 of the sheet material 1 is folded in a mountain fold and the positioning plate 6 is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the support plate 5, and the support plate 5 is folded in a mountain fold by a fold ruled line Lk to form a line of the sheet material 1. Fold L4 into a valley fold. The bending angle of the sheet material 1 on the line L5 is substantially a right angle, the bending angle of the support plate 5 on the fold ruled line Lk is an obtuse angle, and the bending angle of the sheet material 1 on the line L4 is 180 degrees. Then, the positioning plate 6 arranged at right angles to the support plate 5 is inserted inside the storage box 10 together with the support plate 5. As a result, the positioning plate 6 comes into contact with the inner surface of the bottom plate 4 and is arranged in parallel with the bottom plate 4.

Since the support plate 5 has a longer vertical length than the back plate 3 and is bent at the bent portion 50, the support plate 5 is parallel to the support plate 5 simply by arranging the positioning plate 6 in parallel with the bottom plate 4 as described above. The portion 51 is arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 3, and the curved portion 52 is curved in a direction protruding toward the front plate 2. Alternatively, the curved portion 52 is curved in the opposite direction shown in FIG. Hereinafter, such characteristics of the support plate 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F4-F4 of the storage box 10 in the first state as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, in order to make the structure of the storage box 10 easy to see, the bottom plate 4 is illustrated in the shape of a single plate different from the actual one.

As described above, since the vertical length of the support plate 5 not bent at the folded ruled line Lk is sufficiently longer than the vertical length of the back plate 3, the positioning provided integrally with the lower end 5b of the support plate 5. When the plate 6 is brought into contact with the bottom plate 4 and arranged in parallel with the bottom plate 4, the support plate 5 is curved between the upper end 5a and the lower end 5b. Alternatively, when the length of the support plate 5 is only slightly longer than that of the back plate 3, the portion of the support plate 5 between the upper end 5a and the bent portion 50 may be inclined while being straight without being curved. In the present embodiment, the support plate 5 is sufficiently long with respect to the back plate 3 so that the support plate 5 is positively curved between the upper end 5a and the lower end 5b. Further, in the present embodiment, the bent portion 50 of the support plate 5 is provided at a position closer to the upper end 5a than the lower end 5b, and the lower end 5b side of the upper end 5a side portion (parallel portion 51) of the support plate 5 from the bent portion 50. The portion (curved portion 52) was easily curved (increased curvature).

Focusing on the curved portion 52 that is curved more than the parallel portion 51 in this way, the curved portion 52 produces a restoring force that tends to return to a straight state due to the waist of the sheet material 1. The restoring force of such a curved portion 52 acts in a direction of pressing the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 against the bottom plate 4, and also acts in a direction of pushing up the bent portion 50 upward. The force in the direction of pressing the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 against the bottom plate 4 acts to bring the positioning plate 6 into close contact with the inner surface of the bottom plate 4. The force that pushes up the bent portion 50 upward acts in the direction of bringing the bent portion 50 closer to the back plate 3 because the parallel portion 51 also has a slight curve. That is, as in the present embodiment, the support plate 5 is sufficiently longer than the back plate 3 and the bent portion 50 is provided on the side close to the upper end 5a, so that the waist of the sheet material 1 is used to bend the support plate 5 with the parallel portion 51. The portion 52 can be formed and the shape of the curved portion 52 can be held in a desired shape (first state or second state).

On the other hand, if the support plate 5 is not provided with the bent portion 50 and the support plate 5 is made sufficiently longer than the back plate 3, the support plate 5 will be curved as a whole as shown in FIG. In this case, since the support plate 5 is folded 180 degrees with respect to the back plate 3 at the upper end 5a of the support plate 5, the support plate 5 is curved in the direction shown in FIG. 5, that is, in the direction of projecting toward the front plate 2. It will be easier. Further, in this case, the restoring force that the curved support plate 5 tries to return to a straight state acts in the direction of pressing the lower end 5b of the support plate 5 against the bottom plate 4, and the upper end 5a of the support plate 5 is pushed upward. Acts on. When the support plate 5 is curved as a whole as shown in FIG. 5, the parallel portion 51 parallel to the back plate 3 is not formed, and the space above the accommodating portion 20 is narrowed by that amount, and the accommodating portion 20 is accommodated. The article O that is stacked and stored in the portion 20 tends to fall forward.

When the storage box 10 is formed of one sheet material 1 and the back plate 3 and the support plate 5 are integrally connected as in the present embodiment, the bent portion between the back plate 3 and the support plate 5 is shown in FIG. It is easy to swell as shown in. If the support plate 5 is formed of a sheet material different from that of the back plate 3, such a problem of swelling does not occur. In the present embodiment, the storage box 10 is manufactured from one sheet material 1, and then folded in the middle of the support plate 5 in order to suppress such swelling of the support plate 5 and expand the space above the storage portion 20. A ruled line Lk was provided to form a bent portion 50 on the support plate 5.

Hereinafter, the functions and effects of the storage box 10 of the above-described embodiment will be described.
In the storage box 10 assembled as described above, the width in the front-rear direction of the storage unit 20 for stacking and storing a plurality of articles O is set to be substantially the same as the width in the stacking direction of the articles O. Therefore, in the first state in which the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5 of the storage box 10 is projected toward the front plate 2, a predetermined number of articles O are stacked and stored in the storage portion 20. In the state shown in 1, the front surface of the article O in the front row in the stacking direction is in contact with the inner surface of the front plate 2, and the back surface of the article O in the last row in the stacking direction is in contact with the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5. .. Therefore, when the storage box 10 of the present embodiment is set to the first state, the articles O stored in the storage section 20 in a predetermined number of layers can be stored in a standing position along the front plate 2, and the articles O look good. Can be displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage box 10 in the first state has a curved portion 52 curved in a direction protruding toward the storage portion 20, so that the articles O stacked in a predetermined number are the front plate 2 It is sandwiched between the support plate 5 and the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5, and is firmly held in the accommodating portion 20. In other words, the storage box 10 of the present embodiment accommodates the curved portion 52 to the extent that a predetermined holding force can be applied to the article O in a state where a predetermined number of articles O are stacked and accommodated in the storage portion 20. It can be projected toward the portion 20.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the storage box 10 is packed in an outer box (not shown) and transported in the state shown in FIG. 1 in which a predetermined number of articles O are stacked and stored in the storage unit 20, or outside. When the article O is taken out of the box and moved in the store or between the stores, the article O can be firmly held in the accommodating portion 20, and the problem that the article O falls off from the accommodating portion 20 can be prevented. can. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the workability by the worker who handles the storage box 10, and it is possible to prevent the article O from being damaged due to careless dropping from the storage portion 20.

When the width of the accommodating portion 20 in the front-rear direction is narrower than the width in the stacking direction of the article O, the front plate 2 is moved by the article O in the first state in which the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5 is projected toward the front plate 2. It may be pushed and bulge forward, which may make the storage box 10 look unattractive and may make it easier for the article O to fall out of the storage portion 20. On the contrary, if the width of the accommodating portion 20 in the front-rear direction is too large to be larger than the width in the stacking direction of the articles O, even in the first state in which the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5 is projected toward the front plate 2. The holding force for the article O accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 becomes weak, and the article O tends to fall off when the accommodating box 10 is moved. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, it is effective to make the width of the accommodating portion 20 in the front-rear direction substantially the same as the width in the stacking direction of the articles O in which a predetermined number of stacks are stacked.

Further, the front plate 2 of the storage box 10 is designed to have a relatively low height so that the printed matter 21 printed on the front surface of the article O is not hidden by the front plate 2. That is, since the storage box 10 of the present embodiment is also a box for displaying the article O in a good-looking manner, the article O has a structure in which the article O easily falls forward. Therefore, in the storage box 10 of the present embodiment, it is effective to prevent the article O from falling forward by holding and restraining the article O in the accommodation section 20 to exert a holding force.

When the article O is taken out from the accommodating portion 20 and the accommodating number is reduced and the holding force is weakened from the state of FIG. 1 in which a predetermined number of articles O are accommodated in the accommodating portion 20, the sheet-shaped article O is generated. Although it is considered that the article O is likely to fall down, according to the storage box 10 of the present embodiment, since the parallel portion 51 of the support plate 5 is arranged substantially parallel to the back plate 3, the space where the upper end side of the article O falls backward is provided. I have been able to secure it. If the support plate 5 is a storage box as described with reference to FIG. 5 without a bent portion 50, there is almost no space for the article O to fall backward, and the front plate 2 is designed to be relatively low. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the article O will fall forward and the appearance will be poor.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage box 10 of the present embodiment has a portion in which the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5 is inclined in a direction away from the front plate 2 at least at a position facing the front plate 2. Therefore, when the holding force for the article O housed in the accommodating portion 20 is weakened, the article O tends to fall backward along the inclined portion, and the article O does not easily fall forward and the appearance is deteriorated. When the storage box 10 is in the second state shown in FIG. 6, the article O housed in the storage unit 20 can be easily tilted backward, and the article O can be displayed in a good-looking manner.

Further, since the article O has a structure that easily falls backward like the storage box 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the stability when the sheet-shaped articles O are stacked and displayed in a standing position. In a storage box for displaying sheet-shaped articles O in an upright position, it is desirable that the width of the bottom plate 4 in the front-rear direction is sufficiently larger than the width in the stacking direction of the articles O in order to improve the installation stability of the storage box 10. However, as in the present embodiment, when the articles O in the stacked state are accommodated at a position offset to the side closer to the front plate 2, the center of gravity of the accommodation box 10 accommodating the plurality of articles O is offset forward. It is conceivable that the installation stability of the storage box 10 may deteriorate. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the article O accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 is easily tilted toward the back plate 3, so that the center of gravity of the accommodating box 10 accommodating a plurality of articles O is shifted rearward. It is possible to improve the installation stability of the storage box 10.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the support plate 5 of the storage box 10 can be deformed and used in the second state shown in FIG. For example, after the article O is taken out from the initial state shown in FIG. 1 in which a predetermined number of articles O are accommodated and the holding force in the accommodating portion 20 is weakened, the curved portion 52 of the support plate 5 is placed on the back as shown in FIG. It may be curved in the opposite direction in which the face plate 3 side is convex. When the support plate 5 is deformed from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 6, the space in the accommodating portion 20 is expanded in the front-rear direction, and the upper end side of the article O can be more easily tilted toward the back plate 3. It is possible to suppress the problem that the article O whose holding power is weakened falls forward.

Alternatively, the support plate 5 may be curved from the initial state in which a predetermined number of articles O are housed to the second state shown in FIG. In this case, the holding force for the predetermined number of articles O is almost lost, but since the center of gravity of the plurality of articles O is near the center of the storage box 10 in the front-rear direction from the beginning, the installation is stable from the start of use of the storage box 10. It can enhance the sex. Further, when the support plate 5 is in the second state, the article O in the front row in the stacking direction is in a posture of lying backward along the support plate 5, and the holding force does not act, so that the article O is taken out from the accommodating portion 20. It will be easier. Further, the article O can be tilted on the support plate 5, and it is possible to almost eliminate the problem that the article O is tilted forward and the appearance is deteriorated.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the width determining portion 62 of the positioning plate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating portion 20, the number of articles O accommodated is reduced and the appearance when the bottom of the accommodating portion 20 is visible is improved. Can be done. The positioning plate 6 can be bent along the wire L5 in the direction opposite to that of the present embodiment, but if this is the case, the protruding portion 61 of the positioning plate 6 will be visible at the bottom of the accommodating portion 20, and the appearance will be poor. Further, by arranging the width determining portion 62 at the bottom of the accommodating portion 20, the width determining portion 62 can be pressed against the bottom plate 4 by the article O accommodated in the accommodating portion 20, and the positioning plate 6 with respect to the bottom plate 4 can be pressed. It is possible to suppress the floating of. On the contrary, if the protruding portion 61 is provided on the bottom of the accommodating portion 20, the width in the left-right direction in which the lower end of the article O presses the positioning plate 6 becomes narrow, and the positioning plate 6 can be sufficiently pressed toward the bottom plate 4. become unable.

Further, the storage box 10 of the present embodiment has the projecting piece 2c integrally at the upper end 2a of the front plate 2. Since the protruding piece 2c partially raises the height of the front plate 2, the projecting piece 2c functions to suppress a problem that the article O housed in the housing part 20 falls forward and falls off from the housing part 20. Further, the projecting piece 2c can play a function of improving the design of the storage box 10. For example, the surface of the projecting piece 2c can be designed by superimposing it on the printed matter 21 on the surface of the article O housed in the storage unit 20 to give an interesting design.
