Further, the other of the horizontal ends of one long side wall 21 and the other of the horizontal ends of the other long side wall 22 are adjacent to the other short side wall 24. are doing.

The container 1 is provided with first handle portions 6 near both horizontal ends of opposing long side walls 21 and 22 in FIG. Note that, in FIG. 1, of the first hand grip portions 6 provided on the opposing long side walls 21 and 22, only the first hand grip portion 6 provided on the outer wall surface of the other long side wall 22 is shown. A first handle portion 6 is also provided on the outer wall surface of one of the long side walls 21.

The arrangement position of the first hand grip part 6 will be explained using FIG. 2, which is a side view of the outer wall surface side of the other long side wall 22. They are provided near both ends 2223 and 2224, respectively. Further, each first handle portion 6 is provided below the other long side wall 22 . More specifically, the first handle portion 6 is provided at the lower end of the other long side wall 22. The first handle portions 6 are similarly provided on one of the long side walls 21, so that four first handle portions 6 are provided in the entire container 1. Note that the number is not limited to this number.

The position of the first handle portion 6 at the lower end of the other long side wall 22 will be explained. In addition, below, the first handle part 6 disposed near the other end 2224 of the one end 2223 and the other end 2224 of the other long side wall 22 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. .

The first handle portion 6 shown in FIG. 2 has a length from the other end 2224 to the end 2223 and end 2224 of the other long side wall 22 (horizontal length of the other long side wall 22). It is disposed at the lower end of the bottom wall forming part 20 in a range P3 up to 20% or less of. This allows the container 1 to be stably supported when the container 1 is lifted by placing the user's finger on the first handle portion 6 .

Note that the location of the first handle portion 6 near the other end 2224 is not limited to within the range P3. That is, the first handle portion 6 may be arranged in a range P2 from the other end 2224 to 25% or less of the horizontal length of the other long side wall 22. Furthermore, the first handle portion 6 may be arranged in a range P1 from the other end 2224 to 49% or less of the horizontal length of the other long side wall 22. If the first handle part 6 is provided in such range P2 or range P1, when the container 1 is lifted by hooking the first handle part 6, the container 1 can be supported relatively stably. I can do it. Further, the first handle portion 6 can be appropriately arranged depending on the size of the container 1.

As for the first handle part 6 provided near one end 2223 of the other long side wall 22, similarly to the first handle part 6 provided near the other end 2224, the first handle part 6 provided near one end 2223 of the other long side wall 22 is connected from one end 2223 to the other long side wall 22. It is preferable that it is provided within a range of 20% or less of the horizontal length of the side wall 22. However, it may be provided in a range from one end 2223 to 25% or less of the horizontal length of the other long side wall 22. Further, it may be provided in a range from one end 2223 to 49% or less of the horizontal length of the other long side wall 22.

The position of the first handle part 6 near one end 2223 and the position of the first handle part 6 near the other end 2224 on the other long side wall 22 are such that the distance from the end to which they are near is They may be equal or different.

The first hand grip portions 6 provided on one long side wall 21 are also provided near both ends of one long side wall 21, and their positions differ from the first hand grip portions 6 provided on the other long side wall 22. This is the same as part 6. Here, the first handle portion 6 provided on one long side wall 21 near one short side wall 23, and the first hand grip portion 6 provided on one long side wall 22 near one short side wall 23 (close to one end 2223). The first handle portion 6 does not need to be coaxially located in the X-axis direction. As an example, each of the first handle portions 6 provided on the long side wall 21 and the long side wall 22 may be provided at a position where they partially overlap in the X-axis direction. Further, as an example, the first hand grip portion 6 provided on one of the long side walls 21 and closer to one of the short side walls 23 is located within the range P3, The first handle portion 6 may be provided within the range P1 excluding the range P3. This also applies to the first handle portion 6 near the other short side wall 24 (close to the other end 2224).

As a method of using the first handle part 6, when lifting the container 1 by one person, for example, the first handle part 6 provided on one long side wall 21 near one short side wall 23 and the other long side wall 21 are used. It can be lifted by hooking each finger on the first hand grip portion 6 provided on the side wall 22 and located closer to one of the short side walls 23. In the case of one person, if the first handle part 6 on which the left hand is placed and the first handle part 6 on which the right hand is placed are not coaxial as described above, there is an advantage that the container 1 is easier to support and lift. Furthermore, in the case of a single person, it is also possible to use the first handle part 6 to hang the hook and pull the container 1 towards it.

Another method of use is for two people to lift the container 1. In that case, the fingers of the right hand and the fingers of the left hand of one carrier are respectively inserted into the first hand grip portion 6 near the short side wall 23 of each long side wall 21, 22. Then, the fingers of the right hand and the fingers of the left hand of another carrier are respectively inserted into the first hand grip portions 6 near the other short side wall 24 of each of the long side walls 21 and 22. When the weight of the article to be stored in the storage section is heavy, or when the container 1 is relatively long, with the length of the opposing long side walls 21 and 22 in the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction) being about 1 meter, It is preferable that two people lift the container 1.

The container 1 of this embodiment is a foldable container in which long side walls 21 and 22 and short and long side walls 23 and 24 can be folded. Therefore, details of the container 1 for realizing folding will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 includes first side wall portions 210, 220, second side wall portions 230, 240, and a bottom wall forming portion 20. To achieve folding, the first side wall parts 210, 220 and the second side wall parts 230, 240 are each connected (pivotally supported) to the bottom wall component 20 so as to be tiltable, and the first side wall parts 210, 220 and the second side wall parts 230, 240 are respectively connected (pivotally supported) so as to be tiltable. It is configured to be rotatably movable between an upright position where it is provided and a lying position where it is laid down above the bottom wall component. Below, first, the structure of the bottom wall structure part 20 is demonstrated based on FIG.

The bottom wall forming portion 20 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and includes a bottom wall portion 205 that forms the bottom of the container 1 and is rectangular in plan view, and extends from each of the four end sides of the bottom wall portion 205 in the Z-axis positive direction. It includes base portions 201, 202, 203, and 204 that stand up. The base part 201 constitutes the lower part of one long side wall 21 (FIG. 1), the base part 202 constitutes the lower part of the other long side wall 22, and the base part 203 constitutes the lower part of one short side wall 23 (FIG. 1). The base portion 204 constitutes the lower part of the other short side wall 24 (FIG. 1). More specifically, one long side wall 21 is formed by connecting a first side wall portion 210 to a base portion 201 . Further, the other long side wall 22 is formed by connecting a first side wall portion 220 to a base portion 202. Further, one of the short side walls 23 is formed by connecting the base portion 203 to the second side wall portion 230 . Further, the other short side wall 24 is formed by connecting the second side wall portion 240 to the base portion 204. In addition, in this embodiment, each long side wall 21, 22 and each short side wall 23, 24 are comprised from two components in this way. However, one embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. Each of the long side walls 21, 22 and each of the short side walls 23, 24 may be a side wall of a single piece structure, or may be a side wall consisting of three or more components. Further, the bottom wall forming portion 20 protrudes above the base portions 203, 204 (the base portions on the short side walls 23, 24 side) from both ends of the base portions 201, 202 (the base portions on the long side walls 21, 22 side), It has a corner protrusion connected to the upper surface side of the base portions 203, 204 (base portions on the short side walls 23, 24 side).

The first side wall portions 210, 220 and the second side wall portions 230, 240 are respectively hinged to respective base portions of the bottom wall forming portion 20, and have an upright position in which the bottom wall forming portion is erected upward. It is configured so that it can be rotated between a lying position where it is laid upwards and a lying position. That is, each of the side wall sections 210 to 240 connected to each of the base sections 201 to 204 is rotatable about the virtual axes 1L to 4L shown in FIG. 4 as central axes. Further, the protrusion length from the bottom wall part 205 of the base parts 201, 202 on the first side wall parts 210, 220 side is the protrusion length from the bottom wall part 205 of the base parts 203, 204 on the second side wall parts 230, 240 side. It is longer than. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the container 1 is configured such that the second side walls 230, 240 are first displaced to the lying position, and then the first side walls 210, 220 are displaced to the lying position. .

With this configuration, the container 1 can be folded as shown in FIG. 4 by rotating each of the side walls 210 to 240 so as to lie above the bottom wall 205. In addition, in FIG. 4, the second side wall parts 230 and 240 are not visible because they are sandwiched between the bottom wall part 205 and the first side wall parts 210 and 220 of the bottom wall forming part 20. The state in which the first side wall portions 210, 220 and the second side wall portions 230, 240 are each in the lying position is referred to as a "folded state".

When the first side wall portions 210, 220 and the second side wall portions 230, 240 in the folded state are rotated and stood up, it is possible to maintain a state in which the adjacent side wall portions are connected to each other in the upright position. It is configured as follows. For example, adjacent side wall portions are maintained in an upright state by being locked by a locking function (not shown). Hereinafter, the state in which the first side wall portions 210, 220 and the second side wall portions 230, 240 are in the upright position will be referred to as an "assembled state."

That is, the container 1 is a foldable container whose state can be changed between a "folded state" and an "assembled state".

The first handle portion 6 described above is provided at the lower end of the outer edge of the bottom wall forming portion 20 on the side where the first side wall portions 210 and 220 are connected. Specifically, the protruding length from the bottom wall 205 is longer than that of the bases 203, 204 on the second side walls 230, 240. ing. FIG. 5 shows the other long side wall 22 including the other first side wall 220 provided on the upper side in the upright state and the base portion 202 connecting the other first side wall 220 at the upper end.

When transporting the container 1, the transporter lowers his/her arm along the long side wall from above the container 1, hooks his/her fingers, and places the fingertips on the first grip portions 6 of the opposing long side walls 21, 22. Insert into.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the container 1 is turned upside down. Focusing on a certain first handle part 6, the opening part is located at the lower end of the outer edge of the bottom wall forming part 20, and has an opening between an outer wall 7 located on the outer side of the container 1 and an inner wall located on the inner side. The wall 8 is a part that is placed opposite to the wall 8 at a predetermined distance, and is open downward, so that a finger can be inserted into a gap formed in the separated part and continuing upward. The outer wall 7 and the inner wall 8 of the opening portion of the first handle part 6 are connected by a plurality of connecting walls 9. In this embodiment, each of the base portions 201 and 202 includes an outer wall 7, an inner wall 8, and a connecting wall 9. In other words, the base parts 201 and 202 of the bottom wall component 20 include an inner wall 8 extending upward from the edge of the bottom wall part 205, a connecting wall 9 extending outward from the upper end of the inner wall 8, It is composed of an outer wall 7 that is disposed opposite to the inner wall 8 at a predetermined distance and extends downward from the edge of the connecting wall 9, and the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the Y direction is approximately the opposite. It is formed in a U-shape. The opening of the first hand grip part 6 is configured so that four fingers, excluding the thumb, can be inserted in line in the Y-axis direction. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the opening of the first hand grip part 6 is divided into a plurality of regions 6a, 6b, and 6c, and the index finger and middle finger are inserted into the first region 6a, and the ring finger is inserted into the third region 6c. You can insert your little finger.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting line AA' shown in FIG. The outer wall 7 and the inner wall 8 are spaced apart from each other in the X-axis direction, and form a first handle portion 6. The outer wall 7 and the inner wall 8 are connected by a connecting wall 9 at the upper end of the base part 202, and are also connected by a connecting wall 9 having a flat surface in the XZ plane at the middle part of the base part 202. As shown in FIG. 8, the first handle portion 6 has a cutout portion 7a formed by cutting the lower end of the outer wall 7 upward. Due to the cutout portion 7a, the outside of the first hand grip portion 6 is wide open, making it easy to insert fingers. Note that the first handle portion 6 does not need to have the opening portion and the connecting wall 9. Further, a configuration in which the fingers are hung only on the cutout portion 7a or a configuration in which the fingers are hooked on the cutout portion 7a and the lower end portion of the connecting wall 9 may be used.

As shown in FIG. 1, the opposing long side walls 21 and 22 are provided with a second handle part 60 above the first handle part 6. The second handle portion 60 is provided near both ends of the opposing long side walls 21 and 22 in the horizontal direction. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the second handle portion 60 is located above the other first side wall portion 220, and is configured by an outwardly protruding portion having a plane parallel to the XY plane as a lower surface. can do. Note that the second handle portion 60 is similarly provided on one long side wall 21 (one first side wall portion 210) shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, which schematically shows one long side wall 22, there are a second hand grip part 60 provided near one end of the long side wall 22, and a second hand grip part 60 provided near the other end. The distances from the adjacent ends 2223 and 2224 do not have to be equal to each other. Note that the distances may be equal.

In addition to the second handle part 60, as shown in FIG. may be provided. The other handle portion 600 can be configured by a protruding portion similarly to the second handle portion 60. The other handle portion 600 can be provided at an intermediate position in the horizontal direction above the long side wall (first side wall portions 210, 220) and the short side wall (second side wall portions 230, 240), but is not limited thereto.

The container 1 of this embodiment has a structure that allows it to be stacked vertically with articles stored in the storage portion. The state in which the article is stored in the storage section indicates that the container 1 is in an assembled state. That is, the containers 1 can be stacked vertically in an assembled state. FIG. 10 shows how the assembled containers 1 are stacked one on top of the other. In the example of FIG. 10, three containers 1 are stacked one above the other, but the number of containers is not limited to this. Even in this stacked state, the cutout portion 7a of the upper assembled container 1 and the long side wall of the lower assembled container 1 are vertically arranged to face each other with a predetermined distance apart. Therefore, the person carrying the container 1 can hang his or her fingers on the first handle portion 6 at the bottom (lower end portion) of each container 1. The same applies to the second handle portion 60 (FIG. 5).

The containers 1 include a first stacking regulating section that can regulate horizontal movement of the stacked upper assembled containers 1. Regarding the first stacking regulation part, FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of the connecting portion between the stacked containers 1 as shown in FIG. 10, and FIG. 12 is a sectional view taken along the cutting line BB' shown in FIG. 11. This will be explained using.

The first stacking regulation section 40 includes two combinations. The first combination is a lower surface protrusion 205a projecting downward from the bottom wall portion 205 of the bottom wall component 20 provided in the upper container 1 shown in FIG. 12, and an opening 100 of the lower container 1. It is a combination of A lower surface convex portion 205a protruding downward from the bottom wall portion 205 of the upper container 1 fits into the opening 100 of the lower container 1 to restrict movement of the upper container 1 in the horizontal direction.

The second combination in the first stacking regulating section 40 is based on the outer side (outer end The engaging part 202a extends downward from the lower end of the lower container 1, and is provided at the upper end of the long side wall (first side wall part 220) of the lower container 1, extending from the outer side (outer end part) to the inner side. This is a combination with an engaged portion 101 that is configured to be concave (concave outward so that the upper and outer sides are open). By engaging the engaging portion 202a with the engaged portion 101, movement of the upper container 1 in the horizontal direction (XY direction) is restricted. Note that, although the pairs of the engaging portion 202a and the engaged portion 101 are provided at four locations along the first side wall portion 220, the number is not limited to this number. In the example of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, there is a pair of an engaging part 202a and an engaged part 101 on both sides of the first hand grip part 6. The pair on one side and the pair on the other side with the first handle part 6 in between have different structures. Note that the above second combination is similarly provided to the first side wall portion 210 and the base portion 201.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the assembled containers 1 are stacked one above the other, it is possible to restrict the upper container 1 from moving in the horizontal direction, so that the articles stored in the storage section do not collapse. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the upper container 1 from falling.

Here, in the upper end of the long side wall (first side wall portions 210, 220) of the lower container 1, in a region where the engaged portion 101 is not provided, there is a direction from the outside (outer end) to the inside. A guide rail 102 that is configured to be recessed toward the side (recessed outward so that the upper and outer sides are open) and extends in the Y-axis direction is provided. In the process of stacking the upper container 1 on the lower container 1, the upper container 1 can slide along the guide rail 102 in the Y-axis direction, making the stacking work more efficient. The engaging portion 202a of the upper container 1 slides in the Y-axis direction along the guide rail 102 of the lower container 1, engages with the engaged portion 101, and stops, thereby positioning the containers 1 with respect to each other. realizable. In this way, when the engaging part 202a of the upper container 1 and the engaged part 101 of the lower container 1 are engaged, the notch part 7a of the first handle part 6 of the upper container 1 and the lower part The upper end portions of the long side walls (first side wall portions 210, 220) of the container 1 are arranged to face each other with a predetermined distance in the vertical direction (Z direction). As shown in FIG. 12, a wide space can be secured by the notch 7a of the first handle part 6 of the upper container 1 and the outwardly recessed part forming the guide rail 102. It is easy to insert and remove fingers from the first hand grip part 6 even when the user is using the first hand grip part 6.

The containers 1 can be stacked even in a folded state. FIG. 13 is an overall perspective view showing, as an example, three containers 1 stacked one above the other in a folded state, and FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of a portion thereof. FIG. 15 is a sectional view taken along the line CC' shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 14. When the container 1 of this embodiment is in the folded state, the base parts 201 and 202 on the long side walls of the bottom wall forming part 20 are the highest parts. Therefore, the containers 1 to be stacked are stacked with the base portions 201 and 202 on the long side walls acting as supports. Even when the containers 1 in the folded state are stacked, the notch 7a of the container 1 in the upper folded state and the bases 201, 202 (bottom wall configuration) on the long side walls of the container 1 in the lower folded state (a part of the part) are vertically arranged to face each other with a predetermined distance apart. Thereby, the person carrying the container 1 can hang his/her fingers on the first handle portion 6 below (lower end portion) of each container 1 .

The containers 1 are provided with a second stacking regulating section 50 that can regulate horizontal movement of the upper stacked containers 1 in a folded state. The second stacking regulating portion 50 includes an engaged portion 202b provided at the upper end of the base portion 202 on the long side wall side of the lower container 1, and an outer end (outer end) of the base portion 202 of the upper container 1. The engagement part 202a extends downward from the lower end of the engagement part 202a. The engaged portion 202b is configured such that the upper end of the base portion 202 is recessed from the outer side to the inner side (recessed outward so that the upper and outer sides are open), and is engaged with the engaging portion 202a. do. By engaging the engaging portion 202a and the engaged portion 202b, it is possible to restrict movement of the stacked upper folded containers 1 in the horizontal direction (XY direction). Note that a second stacking regulating section 50 is similarly provided on the base section 201 side.

In this way, when the engaging part 202a of the upper container 1 and the engaged part 202b of the lower container 1 are engaged, the notch part 7a of the first handle part 6 of the upper container 1 and the lower part The upper end portions of the base portions 201 and 202 of the container 1 are arranged to face each other with a predetermined distance in the vertical direction (Z direction). As shown in FIG. 15, a large space can be secured by the notch 7a of the first handle part 6 of the upper container 1 and the outwardly recessed part forming the engaged part 202b, so that the container in the folded state can be 1 is stacked in a stack, it is easy to put fingers in and out of the first hand grip part 6. In addition, since the second stacking regulation section 50 functions in a state in which the containers 1 in the folded state are stacked on the lower side, the containers 1 located on the upper side may be in either the assembled state or the folded state.

As described above, whether containers 1 are stacked in an assembled state or stacked in a folded state, movement in the horizontal direction (XY direction) can be restricted and stable Stacking can be realized.

In this embodiment, the first handle portion 6 is provided at the lower end of each long side wall 22 . The reason for the lower end is that the container 1 has a bottom wall component 20 so that it can be folded, and even when the containers 1 are stacked in a folded state (containers 1 are stacked on top of each other), the first handle portion 6 does not touch the container 1. This is due to the fact that it is easy to put your fingers on it. However, according to the essence of the first handle part 6, it is sufficient that it is disposed below the container 1, and it is not essential that it be disposed at the lower end. Here, the term "downward" means that the first handle part 6 is preferably in a range up to one-third of the height of the container 1 (length in the Z-axis direction) from the lower end. More preferably, the first handle portion 6 is disposed within a range of one quarter of the height (length in the Z-axis direction) of the container 1 from the lower end.
