DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage tray used for storing and sorting documents and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a storage tray of this type is a box type having an opening on the upper surface and comprising a flat bottom plate, a mirror plate, side plates and a back plate, and the inside of the box type is stored. It's a space. Documents such as paper and small items such as stationery are stored in this storage space and taken out as needed.
However, a box-shaped storage tray having an opening only on the upper surface is difficult to take out when taking out a document such as a sheet, especially when the sheet is thin, because it is difficult to put a finger on the edge of the sheet. There is a defect. Therefore, there is one in which a hole is provided in the vicinity of the end plate of the bottom plate and a hole can be utilized to hang a finger on the end of the paper on the end plate side so that the paper can be easily taken out.

[0003]

However, since the storage tray having such a structure has a hole in the bottom plate, stationery having a shape smaller than the size of the hole, such as a clip, falls from the hole. Sometimes. Therefore, this type of storage tray is suitable for storing documents and the like, but is not suitable for storing small items such as stationery.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, the storage tray according to the present invention includes a bottom plate, a side plate, a back plate, and a mirror plate, and is provided with a concave portion in the vicinity of the mirror plate of the bottom plate so that the end of the accommodated sheets on the mirror plate side is located above the mirror plate. It is characterized by

As a desirable form of the concave portion, there may be mentioned a concave hole which bulges downward from the lower surface of the bottom plate.

[0007]

With this structure, since the recess is formed so that the end of the bottom plate on the side of the mirror plate and the end of the accommodated sheet on the side of the mirror plate are located above the end, the recess is accommodated. The lower part of the sheet of paper is formed on the bottom plate. Therefore, if you put your finger in the recess,
You can hang your finger on the end of the sheet from the bottom. As a result, even with thin paper, it is possible to easily hang the finger on the end of the end plate side, and it is easy to take out the paper from the storage tray. Moreover, since this is the concave portion, an opening penetrating the bottom plate is not formed, and small articles such as stationery do not drop from the concave portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The storage tray 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 has a lower surface supported by rails (not shown) and is used as a drawer for a document storage, and is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and an end plate having a handle portion 2. 3, a bottom plate 4 extending rearward from the lower edge of the end plate 3, side plates 5 standing on the left and right sides of the bottom plate 4, and a bottom plate 4
It is a box type integrally formed with a rear plate 6 standing upright at the rear end and having an upward opening. A recess 8 is integrally formed with the bottom plate 4 at a portion of the bottom plate 4 near the mirror plate 3 in the width direction and where the end 7a of the stored sheet 7 is located above the end plate 7a. The storage tray 1 has a size capable of accommodating, for example, A4 size paper 7, and the size of the bottom plate 4 is set to be slightly larger than the paper 7.

The concave portion 8 is a recessed hole that bulges downward from the lower surface of the bottom plate 4, and has a shape in which one of the short sides of a rectangle is formed in a semicircular shape as shown in FIG. 2 in plan view. One side forming one short side of the rectangle is in contact with the inner side surface of the end plate 3, and the other end of the semicircle extends to, for example, about 1/4 of the depth of the storage tray 1. . In addition, the concave portion 8
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is formed so that the depth is uniform and is substantially the same as the thickness of the bottom plate 4. The width of the recess 8 is set so that about four adult fingers can comfortably enter it.

In order to take out the accommodated sheets 7 in such a structure, as shown in FIGS.
A finger 9 is put in the recessed portion 8 and the finger 9 is hooked on the end 7a of the sheet 7 on the end plate side, and the sheet 7 is taken out from the storage tray 1. That is,
Since the size of the bottom plate 4 is slightly larger than the size of the sheet 7, the end 7b of the housed sheet 7 on the side of the rear plate is the rear plate 6.
The end 7a of the sheet 7 on the end plate side is located away from the inner surface of the end plate 3 when in contact with. In this state, the paper 7
A gap is formed between the end 7a on the side of the mirror plate and the mirror plate 3, and the recess 8 is exposed in the gap. Therefore, when the sheet 7 is taken, the concave portion 8 existing between the sheet 7 and the end plate 3 is used.
When a finger is put in, the tip portion of the finger 9 is located under the paper 7, and the finger can be easily hooked on the paper 7, and the paper 7 can be taken out.

With such a structure, since the recess 8 is formed below the end of the bottom plate 4 on the side of the end plate 3 of the sheet 7 which is accommodated, the finger 9 is placed in the recess 8. Can be inserted. Since the concave portion 8 in which the finger 9 is inserted is formed to be lower than the lower surface of the paper 7 contained therein, the concave portion 8 is formed.
When the finger 9 is inserted into the end, the finger can be hung from the end on the end plate side 7a of the sheet 7 from below. Therefore, the thin paper 7
However, the finger 9 can be easily hooked on the end 7a on the end plate side, and the paper 7 can be easily taken out from the storage tray 1. Moreover,
Since the recess 8 does not penetrate to the bottom of the bottom plate 4, small articles such as stationery do not drop from the recess 8. Therefore, even when the thin paper 7 is taken out, there is no inconvenience such as being difficult to put a finger on the paper 7, and it is also suitable for storing and sorting small stored items.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and for example, the concave portion does not have to be in contact with the inner side surface of the end plate 3, and the sheet 7 when the sheet 7 is accommodated is accommodated.
It suffices that a sufficient area for inserting the finger 9 is exposed in the gap formed between the end 7 a on the side of the end plate and the end plate 3.
In addition, in order to accommodate sheets of different sizes, the recess may be formed in a substantially central shape in the width direction of the storage tray 1 in the shape of a groove having a predetermined width in the depth direction.

Further, as an application example of such a storage tray 1, there can be mentioned a drawer integrated with a housing for accommodating a copy or other OA equipment, and further, it can be placed on a desk to stand alone. May be used in.

In addition, the configuration of each part is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0016]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the bottom plate is provided with the concave portion at the end on the end plate side, and the concave portion is formed so as to be lower than the lower surface of the sheet to be stored. By inserting a finger into the concave portion, the finger can be hung from below on the end of the sheet on the end plate side. Therefore, even with thin paper, you can easily hang your finger on the end of the end plate.
Easy to take out paper from the storage tray. Moreover, since this recess does not penetrate to the bottom, small articles such as stationery do not drop from the recess. Therefore, it is possible to provide a storage tray that is suitable for storing and sorting small storage items without feeling inconvenience such as being difficult to put a finger on the sheet when taking out thin sheets.
