Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to a container body for accommodating a plurality of plate-like members arranged in the thickness direction, the container body having an opening for inserting and removing the plate-like members, An outer peripheral edge is formed so as to internally include a plurality of positioning recesses separately engaged therein, and prevents movement of the plate-like body engaged in the plurality of recesses toward the opening. Therefore, the blocking member formed in a long shape along the juxtaposition direction of the plate-shaped body,
The present invention relates to a plate-like body storage container provided on the container body with both ends rotatably supported so as to switch between a blocking state and a release state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in such a plate-like body storage container, a long blocking member G for blocking and preventing movement toward an opening of the plate-like body is provided as shown in FIG.
It was attached to the container body 1 with only its two ends supported (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-215052).

[0003]

However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, when a load is applied to the blocking member when the plate-like body is moving toward the opening, the blocking member is bent and the plate-shaped member is bent. There is a possibility that the movement of the body cannot be prevented, or that the pivoting portions at both ends may fall out due to the bending of the blocking member, and the blocking member itself may fall out of the container main body. It is necessary to make the blocking member itself strong so as not to bend, and as a result, the blocking member is disadvantageously large and thick.

That is, in general, it is preferable that the blocking member be as small and thin as possible in order to simplify the components and improve operability. Since the movement cannot be surely blocked, there is a disadvantage that the blocking member cannot be made too small and thin after all. An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages.

[0005]

A first characteristic configuration of the plate-like container according to the present invention is that the intermediate portion of the blocking member is prevented from moving toward the side away from the plate-like member. The receiving part for receiving is in the point formed in the said container main body.

A second characteristic configuration of the plate-like body storage container according to the present invention specifies a preferred specific configuration for implementing the first characteristic configuration, and the blocking member has both ends at the container body. Is formed in a rod shape pivotally supported on the side wall of the flat member, and at the end of the blocking member, a plate-shaped rotation operation unit for operating the rotation is provided.
It is characterized in that the plate is provided so as to protrude from the container main body, and in the released state, the major axis direction of the cross section of the flat plate extends along the moving direction of the plate-shaped body toward the opening.

[0007]

According to the first feature of the present invention, the blocking member is attached to the container body while the intermediate portion thereof is supported by the receiving portion for preventing the blocking member from moving away from the plate. Since the plate member is attached to the opening, the blocking member does not bend even if a load is applied to the blocking member as the plate-like body moves toward the opening.

According to the second characteristic configuration, the blocking member is constituted by a rod-shaped member provided with a plate-shaped rotation operating portion for operating the rotation at the end thereof. Simply by twisting, the blocking member can be switched between the blocking state and the release state. In addition, since the rotation operating portion is provided in a state in which the major axis direction of the cross section of the flat plate in the released state is along the moving direction of the movement toward the opening of the plate-like body, the blocking member is prevented from being blocked from the angle of the rotation operating portion. The state and the release state can be understood, and can be used as a guide for the twisting operation.

[0009]

According to the first feature, since the blocking member does not bend even if a load is applied to the blocking member, the blocking member can be made small and thin, and therefore, the blocking member can be simplified. And a plate-shaped body storage container with improved operability can be provided.

According to the second feature, the blocking member can be switched between the blocking state and the release state only by twisting the rotation operating part, and the angle of the rotation operating part can be twisted. Therefore, it is possible to provide a plate-shaped container in which the operation of the blocking member is easy and the operability of the blocking member is further improved.
