DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a document box used for storing and organizing various documents in an office or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a filing system using a large cabinet has been adopted from the viewpoint of efficient office processing in an office. In other words, in order to prevent personalization of various documents and to save space, all generated documents are stored in standardized files and document arrangement boxes,
These are separately arranged and stored in a common large cabinet or the like.

In such an organizing method using a filing system, each document is stored as it is or in a file or folder with an index piece, and further stored in an appropriate document organizing box according to a predetermined classification. When processing these documents, it is often the case that the document arrangement box containing the necessary documents is brought to the user's hand and placed close at hand. Usually, only the files and folders that contain the necessary documents need to be extracted and processed.However, such a file box generally contains related documents, materials, etc. all bound together in files and folders. In many cases, it is more convenient to bring the paperwork box with you.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 21270, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-32787, etc., in general, those in which cardboard is assembled to constitute a sorting box are often used. In addition, some paperwork boxes were molded integrally with synthetic resin in consideration of strength and ease of handling.

[0005]

Under such circumstances, there are the following problems in processing. That is, since these document arrangement boxes are presumed to be stored in a cabinet and used, many of them have no lid and the upper part is left open. Therefore, when taken out of the cabinet and kept at hand, dust and dirt easily enter the box, and there is also a risk of foreign matter entering the box without knowing it. In addition, as disclosed in the above publications, there have been cases in which members constituting the lid are integrally provided or separately provided, but these lids store unnecessary documents for a long period of time. Therefore, they are provided for the purpose of protecting them.

On the other hand, these document storage boxes are generally A4
Since a plurality of folders conforming to the standard such as size are stored, the width becomes considerably large. Therefore, when carrying out the processing work in each place by taking out each person, the box itself occupies a wide area on the desk, and the space for the work is reduced, and there is no space for the writing implements and office accessories. It was a win.

[0007]
