And abbreviated. ) Is widely used and widely used. Such bags are prepared in several sizes in the vicinity of a register (hereinafter referred to as "the cashier") where the product is settled, and the required number of bags are handed to the customer after the checkout, or the store puts the bag in a bag. I had to hand it to the customer, and in any case I needed to quickly take out the required number.

[0003]

However, such a bag is
Because it is thin and slippery, and a large number of sheets are stored in a bundle in a stacked state, it is necessary to take out each one of them very carefully, sometimes removing several sheets at once. It was very complicated.
In particular, during the busy hours of the store, it was necessary to respond more quickly, which caused the store clerk to be very frustrated, and hindered the work efficiency.

[0004] In addition, there are several sizes of bags to be used. Among them, there is a face that it is difficult to find a necessary bag quickly and to cope with it.
There was also the inconvenience that the occupied area of the lower shelf near the narrow cash register had to be large.

[0005]

Therefore, the inventor of the present application has focused on this situation, and as a result of intensive research, has completed the present invention. The purpose is to obtain a required size from a bundle of stacked and stored bags. It can be taken out quickly and easily by the number of sheets,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a bag storage / unload box that can save an occupied space.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the upper surface is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped box shape that is open, and on one side surface, an outlet is formed by cutting a predetermined width from the open edge to the bottom surface, and extends inward from upper corners on both sides of the outlet. A box body formed with a locking piece portion, a flat plate having a size that can be dropped from an upper opening of the box body, a notch formed at a position corresponding to the outlet, and the notch And a pressing plate having a locking portion for locking the locking piece on both sides of the holding plate.

[0007] Alternatively, a box body having a rectangular parallelepiped box shape with an open upper surface, an outlet formed by cutting a predetermined width from the open edge to the bottom surface on one side surface, and an upper opening of the box body. It has a flat plate shape of a size that can be dropped, and has a notch formed at a position corresponding to the outlet, and both sides of the notch and both sides of the outlet of the box main body are rotatably connected. And a plate.

Alternatively, it is possible to bend freely at a position closer to the inside from the notch of the holding plate, and a pressing means for pressing the holding plate toward the bottom surface may be provided. In addition,
A positioning plate for positioning the thin film sheet bags stacked and stored in the box body may be movably disposed on the bottom surface of the box body.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a detailed description will be given based on specific embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the entire embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the entire embodiment.

The storage and unloading box 1 according to the present embodiment mainly comprises a box body 2, a holding plate 3, and pressing means 4. The box main body 2 constituting the outer shell of the storage / unload box 1 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped box shape using a lightweight plate material such as cardboard. That is, as shown in the figure, a rectangular bottom surface 2a is formed integrally with a side surface 2b rising to a predetermined height from each of the four sides, and an upper surface is formed with an opening 2c which is almost entirely open. Things.

On one side surface in the longitudinal direction, there is formed an outlet 2d notched from the opening edge to a predetermined width (a width easy for a bag to pass through, 3 to 5 cm) to come into contact with the bottom surface 2a. A locking piece 2g is formed extending inward from the upper side 2e on both sides of the outlet 2d and extending over an open edge 2f orthogonal to the upper side 2e. The locking piece 2g is formed by leaving a corner of the upper surface on the side of the outlet 2d in a substantially triangular shape when the upper surface of the box body is opened, but is not limited to this shape. The shape is not limited to this as long as it extends inward from the upper side 2e on both sides and can engage with the locking portion 3b of the holding plate 3 described later.

A flange 2h extending inward and connecting the edges of the opposite side surface in the short direction is formed on the open edge of the side surface facing the outlet 2d side. The flange 2h is not essential in the present invention, but is integrally formed to enhance the shape retaining force of the box main body 2 and prevent the holding plate 3 from jumping up.

The holding plate 3 is made of a plate-like material and is formed in a rectangular flat plate having a size that can be dropped from the upper opening 2c of the box body 2, and is formed of a metal plate or the like to increase its own weight if necessary. On one edge of the holding plate 3 in the longitudinal direction,
A notch 3a having a substantially U-shaped cutout of the same width and a predetermined length at a position corresponding to the outlet 2d formed in the box body 2.
Is formed.

On both sides of the notch 3a, locking portions 3b are provided.
Is arranged. The locking portion 3b is not formed separately from the holding plate 3, but shows the corners on both sides of the cutout 3a, and is made of a material that is difficult to bend. If necessary, it may be reinforced with a core material or the like.

Further, a linear bent portion 3c formed along the short direction of the pressing plate 3 is formed at a position of the pressing plate 3 inward from the notch 3a. This bent portion 3c
Accordingly, the partial piece of the holding plate 3 on the side of the notch 3a performs a bending operation of bending upward. Further, a bent piece 3d is formed on a side of the holding plate 3 facing the notch 3a, and the bent piece 3d is bent upward at a position closer to the inside from the cutout 3a.

A weight 4 is mounted on the upper surface of the holding plate 3 as a pressing means if necessary. This pressing means presses the bundle of bags against the bottom surface of the box body. The pressing plate 3 is formed of a metal plate or the like.
Is not required.

[0022]

According to the above-described structure, the inside of the box main body 2 is formed in a state where a large number of bags 5 are stacked and the bottom 5a side of the bag 5 is directed toward the outlet 2d of the box main body 2 so as to be substantially in contact therewith. Place it in the storage. Next, the holding plate 3 is dropped in from the upper opening 2 c of the box main body 2, and is placed on the upper surface of the bundle of bags 5. At this time, the notch 3b of the holding plate 3 and the outlet 2d of the box body 2 are made to coincide with each other, and the locking portion 3b of the holding plate 3 is hooked from below onto the locking piece 2g of the box body 2, and the bent piece is formed. 3d is hooked from below onto the flange 2h of the box body 2.

As a result, a part of the bundle of bags 5 (a portion serving as a bottom surface of the bag) is exposed from the outlet 2d on the side surface of the box body 2 and the notch 3a of the holding plate 3. In addition, holding plate 3
Since the bent portion 3c is slightly raised upward, it is easy to pick the desired number of bags 5 with one hand, and the weight 4 acts to press the holding plate 3 and the bags 5 vertically downward and is pulled out. Extra bag 5 with bag 5b
Is pulled out, and only the picked number of bags 5b are pulled out of the box body 2.

[0024]

[Possibility of Other Embodiments] In this embodiment, the holding plate 3
By providing two bent portions 3c at the bottom, the removal of the bag 5 and the fitting of the holding plate 3 into the box body 2 are facilitated, but the bent portion 3c may be omitted, or the bent portion 3c may be provided.
The same effect can be obtained even if the whole or a part of the holding plate 3 is formed in a downwardly convex curved shape without providing c.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the holding plate 3 can be rotatably attached to the edge of the opening 2c of the box body 2 via a connecting member 3e. One piece 2g becomes unnecessary. The width of the opening of the outlet 2d of the box body 2 may be narrower than the width of the bottom 5a of the bag 5 to be stored, but is preferably 1/3 or less of the width of the bag 5.

Further, in this embodiment, since the pressing means is a plate-shaped weight 4, the pressing force of the pressing means does not act on the plate 3 and the like unless the upper opening 2c is always up. Becomes Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The pressing means is a leaf spring 4a for applying the urging force, and one end is rotatably fixed to the edge of the box body 2 with a connecting member such as a hinge 4c, and the other end is hung over the box body 2. And fixed to the edge of the box body 2 by the lock mechanism 4d. This way,
The pressing means 4 presses the holding plate 3 and the bag 5 against the bottom surface 2a side of the box body 2 to act, so that the storage and unloading box 1 can be placed upright with the side face down, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of arrangement. Becomes The pressing means 4 is not limited to the leaf spring 4a, and the number of the pressing means 4 to be arranged and the mounting place are not particularly limited.

FIG. 5 shows a storage / discharge box 10 of another embodiment. In the above embodiment, since the storage and unloading box 1 according to the size of the bag 5 is used, it is necessary to prepare the storage and unloading box 1 according to the size of the bag 5, but as shown in FIG. One or more positioning plates 11 slidably mounted on the bottom surface 12 a of the box body 12.
, It is also possible to provide a storage and unloading box 10 capable of storing bags 5 of various sizes.

In this case, the positioning plate 11 and the holding plate 1
A notch 13b on both sides of the locking portion 13d of the holding plate 13 and a notch 13a formed by cutting off a central portion of the bent piece 13c are formed so as not to interfere with each other.

In FIG. 5, the positioning plate 1 is provided on the bottom surface 12a inside the box body 12 without using the sliding guide 12b.
By providing one or more fixing places for fixing the bag 1 and appropriately changing the fixing place of the positioning plate 11 according to the size of the bag 5, bags 5 of a plurality of sizes can be stored (not shown). ).

Further, although not shown in the drawings, the bottom of the box body is configured to be able to be divided in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, respectively, and these are connected by a belt-like connecting tool whose mounting position is variable. By setting the position appropriately, the size of the bottom surface shape can be made an appropriate size to provide a more versatile storage / unloading box that can correspond to bags of several types.

[0031]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily take out a desired number of bags from the storage / removal box, and particularly to save the installation space for the bag storage / removal box in a limited place such as a store. The effect is remarkable.
