Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a storage container such as a basket.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a general storage container, the handle is attached to the opening of the container body so as to be able to be tilted up and down, and the handle in the collapsed state is arranged along the peripheral edge of the opening of the container body. By adopting such a configuration, when transporting and storing a plurality of storage containers in a stacked manner, the upper storage container is brought into close contact with the lower storage container without being disturbed by the handle. It is possible to carry and store it. However, at home, if you try to store the storage containers that contain the items in piles, the stacked state becomes unstable due to the presence of the items, and in order to protect the items, It is desirable to store the containers side by side rather than stacking them, and as a result, there is a problem that the storage space becomes large.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose thereof is that it can be stacked in close contact with no storage items, and is stable even with storage items. The purpose is to provide a storage container that can be stacked and stored in a stored state.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The storage container of the present invention has hinge shafts formed at both ends of a pair of left and right handles that are arranged so as to be erected up and down across the opening of the container body. A pair of left and right hinge shaft engaging portions are respectively formed on opposite side edge portions, and a hinge shaft moving portion is formed from each of the hinge shaft engaging portions toward the center of the side edge portion. When the hinge shaft is engaged with the hinge shaft engaging portion of the container body and the holding hand is tilted, the handle is located along the periphery of the opening of the container body, When the hand is tilted and the hinge shaft is moved to the hinge shaft moving portion, the handle is configured to project inside the opening of the container body.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the storage container of the present invention, when the handle engaged with the hinge shaft engaging portion of the container body is tilted, the handle is located along the peripheral edge of the opening of the container body. Therefore, when the storage containers are stacked, the upper storage container can be brought into close contact with the lower storage container. On the other hand, when the hinge shaft portion of the handle is moved from the hinge shaft engaging portion into the hinge shaft moving portion, the handle moves inside the opening. Therefore, when the storage containers are stacked with the handles folded down, the bottom of the upper storage container can be supported by the lower storage container handle.

【Example】

 As shown in FIG. 1, a storage container (a basket is shown in the drawing) is composed of a container body 1 and a pair of left and right handles 2, 2. An outer collar 4 is formed on the peripheral edge of the opening 3 of the container body 1, and a pair of ears 5, 5 are provided so as to protrude along the inner peripheral edge of the intermediate portion on both sides of the outer collar 4.

A pair of left and right hinge shaft engaging portions 6, 6 is formed on each of the ears 5, 5. The hinge shaft engaging portion 6 includes a central hinge shaft engaging portion 6A having a round hole shape, an end hinge shaft engaging portion 6B having a round hole shape, and a hinge shaft moving portion 6C having an oval hole shape. The central hinge shaft engaging portion 6A is formed near the center of the ear portion 5, the end hinge shaft engaging portion 6B is formed at the end portion of the ear portion 5, and both ends of the hinge moving portion 6C are hinge shaft engaging portions. 6A and 6B are in communication. The width dimension of the hinge moving portion 6C is set to be smaller than the diameter dimension of the hinge shaft engaging portions 6A and 6B.

The handle 2 is formed by bending in an inverted U shape, and a hinge shaft portion 7 is provided so as to project from the inside of the end of the bent portion 2A. The cross section of the shaft main body portion 7A of the hinge shaft portion 7 is formed in a rectangular shape, and projecting curved surfaces 7B to which the hinge shaft engaging portions 6A and 6B are fitted are formed on both side surfaces in the long axis direction of the shaft main body portion 7A. A bulging portion 7C is formed at the tip of the shaft body 7A to prevent the shaft from coming off (FIG. 4).

Further, by engaging both hinge shaft parts 7, 7 of the handle 2 with the central hinge shaft engaging part 6 A of the ear 5 of the container body 1, the handle 2 is tilted over the opening 3. Arranged to be free. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the handle 2 is tilted down, the hinge shaft portion 7 becomes horizontal, and when the handle 2 is moved horizontally inside the opening portion 3 in this state, the central hinge shaft engagement is performed. When the engagement with the portion 6A is released, the hinge shaft portion 7 moves into the hinge moving portion 6C, and when the handle 2 is further moved inward, the hinge shaft portion 7 becomes the end hinge shaft engaging portion 6B. Engage. On the other hand, when the handle 2 is raised with the handle shaft 2 engaged with the hinge shaft engaging portions 6A and 6B, the hinge shaft portion 7 rises, so that the hinge shaft portion 7 moves toward the hinge shaft moving portion. Never move to 6C carelessly.

A cutout portion 2B is formed on the inner peripheral side of the bent portion of the handle 2. Due to the presence of the cutout portion 2B, even when the handle 2 is moved to the inside of the opening portion 3, it does not hit the ear portion 5.

Ribs 8 are vertically provided on the bottom surface of the container body 1 along the circumferential direction of the bottom surface (FIG. 6). Then, when the handle 2 of the lower container body A is moved to the inside of the opening 3 and the hinge shaft portion 7 is engaged with the end hinge shaft engaging portion 6B, the upper container body 1 is stacked. The rib 8 of the upper container body 1 is locked to the inner peripheral side of the handle 2 of the lower container body A.

In the storage container A configured in this manner, when the handle 2 is brought down by engaging with the end hinge shaft engaging portion 6 B of the container body 1, the handle 2 holds the container body 1. It is located along the outer flange 4 of the opening 3. Therefore, when the storage containers A are stacked, the upper storage container can be brought into close contact with the lower storage container (FIG. 2). On the other hand, when the hinge shaft portion of the handle 2 is engaged with the central hinge shaft engaging portion 6A from the end hinge shaft engaging portion 6B through the hinge moving portion 6C and the handle 2 is tilted, 2 projects inside the opening 3 of the container body 1. Therefore, when the storage containers A are stacked, the bottom portion of the storage container A in the upper stage is supported by the handle 2 of the storage container A in the lower stage (FIG. 1). Moreover, as described above, since the rib 8 of the upper container body 1 is locked to the handle 2 of the lower container body A, the upper container body 1 does not accidentally shift.

When carrying the storage container A, it suffices to raise the handle 2 with the hinge shaft portions 7 of the handles 2 and 2 engaged with the end hinge shaft engaging portions 6B.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 According to the storage container of the present invention, when it is empty, the upper storage container can be brought into close contact with the lower storage container, so that it does not become bulky during transportation and storage. On the other hand, when a storage item enters, the upper storage container can be supported by the handle of the lower storage container, so the storage containers can be stacked and stored / transported in a stable state without damaging the storage items. be able to.
