DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container suitable for bulk storage and transportation of lightweight molded articles such as plastic lids for bottles of foodstuffs such as coffee.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the storage and transportation of lightweight molded products such as plastic lids for food and other food bottles, it is particularly necessary to prevent dust from entering from the viewpoint of hygiene.
Conventionally, bulk transport by container was considered, but the method of taking out the contents from the bottom of the container could not prevent dust adhering to the back of the bottom plate or the pallet, and the method of providing an outlet on the side plate, It is difficult to achieve both easy removal from the content removal portion and prevention of dust from entering the outlet. Therefore, at present, molded products are collectively stored in plastic film bags, packed in cardboard boxes, and transported, without relying on bulk loading by containers. However, this method requires a great deal of logistics costs such as the cost of packing materials, the labor required for packing and unpacking, and the processing of packing materials, and the rationalization is required.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventor of the present invention has previously described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-10882 a container structure in which the outlet can be easily sealed and the outlet can be opened and closed reliably and easily.
6 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-102335). Recently,
For the purpose of reducing the cost of plastic products such as caps, the thickness has been further reduced, and the strength of plastic molded products has been reduced compared to conventional products. What has not undergone endurable deformation has recently come to be deformed as it is. Of course, the height of bulk containers is reduced to 1 /
If the number is about 2, the problem of strength can be solved, but on the other hand, the number of required containers is doubled, which is disadvantageous in terms of distribution costs. As an improvement plan, a partition plate may be provided in the middle of the container so that the load of the upper half article is received by the partition plate.
It is necessary to take out two stages, which is not preferable.
The inventor has conducted research on a partition structure in which the lower half portion of the front plate of the container can be turned forward to easily insert and discharge products, and completed the present invention.

[0004]

Thus, according to the present invention, each side plate is erected on the bottom plate 3 of the bottom frame 2 fixed to the pallet 1, and the lower half of the front side plate 4 of the side plate is used as a door opening / closing tool. In the container formed on the take-out door 5 rotatable outward by 21, the front end is pivotally supported by the upper side of the front frame 13, and the front end thereof abuts against the inner surface of the take-out door 5 when the take-out door 5 is closed. A stopper plate 16, a guide plate 17 attached to the stopper arm, a front plate 20 and a rear plate 18 which are pivotally supported on the upper edge of the rear frame 14 by a hinge 19 and connected to the take-out door 5.
An intermediate partition which detachably accommodates a partition structure 11 in which the front plate edge abuts against the inner surface of the guide plate when the door is closed, and the rear plate is supported by the horizontal portion of the side frame 12. A container is provided.

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the outer appearance of the container, in which side plates are erected around four rounds of a bottom plate 3 of a bottom frame 2 fixed to a pallet 1, and a lower half of a front side plate 4 is a take-out door that can rotate forward. 5 is formed.
This take-out door 5 is a door opening / closing tool 21 provided on the side of the container.
The handle is opened or closed by operating the handle. A canopy 7 having an inlet 6 is attached to the container and connected to the side plate by a fastening band.

A partition structure 11 shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2 and the side view of FIG. 3 is detachably provided in the container. The skeleton of the partition structure 11 includes left and right side frames 12, 12, a front frame 13, and a rear frame 14. The side frame 12 is provided with a step, and the height of the upper horizontal portion 15 is within the container. It is about 1/2 of the height of the normal. A stopper arm 1 having an inverted L-shaped side surface on the upper side of the front frame 13 and having a leading edge abutting against the extraction door surface when the extraction door 5 is closed.
6 is rotatably supported, and a guide plate 17 is attached to the stopper arm. Also, on the upper edge of the rear frame 14, a rear plate 18 having the rear edge as a rotation axis, the rear plate and the hinge 1
9, the front edge of the front plate abuts against the guide plate 17 when the take-out door 5 is closed, and the rear plate is supported by the horizontal portion of the side frame 12 and is held horizontally. To form a partition structure.

Next, a door opening / closing member 21 for opening and closing the container removal door 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Door opener 2
1, a handle 22 is mounted on a rectangular pipe 23 having a rectangular cross section pivotally supported by a container bottom frame 2, a compression coil spring 24 is built in the handle, and a handle 25 is engaged with the handle at a horizontal position of the handle. Against the pressure of the spring, the handle is pushed forward to disengage and rotate forward. In the square pipe, as shown in FIG. 5A, the wide surface 26 of the square pipe 23 is simultaneously in close contact with the lower edge of the opening and closing door 5 and the end face of the bottom plate 3 at the horizontal position of the handle. As shown, the square pipe 23 is pivotally attached to the front of the bottom frame 2 so that the wide surface 26 comes to a position lower than the lower edge of the take-out door and the take-out door can rotate at the vertical position where the handle is rotated. I have.

[0008]

In order to store an article such as a cap in the container of the present invention, the container opening / closing door is closed and fixed, and the front plate 20 and the rear plate 18 of the partition plate shown in the side view of the partition structure in FIG. Fold it in as shown and pull it up to the back 30
An article is charged and substantially filled up to the upper horizontal portion 15 of the side frame.
Next, the partition plate is extended, and the rear plate is supported by the upper horizontal portion of the side frame, and the front edge of the front plate 20 is brought into contact with the guide plate 17.
Next, the articles are put on the partition plate, filled up to the upper part of the container, covered with the canopy 7, and provided for transportation and storage. The take-out door can be turned by operating the handle 22 and the container is tilted forward.
As shown by the dashed line, the guide plate also rotates and the guide plate also rotates. Spills out and can be taken out of the extraction door. In this way, the partition plate that can be folded with the guide plate is provided on the way to support the load of the upper half article, so that thin products can be loaded without deformation and can be smoothly discharged. In the case of an article that does not need to consider deformation due to a load, the partition structure can be removed from the container, and the volume inside the container can be used effectively.

[0009]

According to the present invention, thin plastic articles and the like can be bulk-loaded in a container, and can be easily stored and unloaded without fear of deformation, so that the effects of streamlining work and reducing distribution costs are great. In addition, in the case of an article that is not likely to be deformed by a load, there is an advantage that the partition structure can be removed to effectively use the volume of the container.
