[Industrial applications]

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage container placed outdoors, and more particularly to a storage container mounted on a luggage carrier, a roof or the like of a vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a car is provided with a trunk for storing luggage. However, if the storage capacity is greatly exceeded, it may be mounted outside the vehicle such as a roof or a luggage carrier.

Therefore, in recent years, a storage container attached to a roof or a luggage carrier of a vehicle has been receiving attention. The storage container is generally composed of a main body and a lid, and one that can separate the main body and the lid or one that rotatably supports the main body and the lid using a hinge means. In particular, the latter storage container is widely used from the viewpoint of operability.

In the latter storage container, it is common to provide hinge means so that the lid body can rotate at the height position of the main body, and the lid body has a certain height. In this case, for example, when mounting this storage container on the front of the loading platform of a light truck, consider the height of the lid and divide the height between the front wall of the loading platform and the storage container. It must be mounted with a gap. Therefore, there is a problem that the space of the loading platform cannot be effectively used.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, as can be seen in the registered design No. 913733 (Japanese Patent Application No. 4-22942), there is one in which the above-mentioned inconvenience is eliminated by opening and closing the lid at a position on the front side of the rear surface of the main body. In such a structure, since the boundary between the main body and the lid is located on the upper surface of the storage container and the hinge means is interposed between them, such a storage container is particularly made of synthetic resin. In view of the design, it is common to integrally form the hinge means from the viewpoint of design, and in such a case, there was concern that rainwater would enter from the hinge means.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a storage container capable of preventing rainwater from entering the inside of the container body from the pivotally attached portion of the lid.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a storage container according to the present invention has a container body having an open top surface, a first lid body for closing one of the openings of the container body, and the other of the openings of the container body. A second lid body to be closed, a first pivotal attachment portion made of a thick portion linearly arranged on the upper surface of the first lid body, and a linearly arranged one of the openings of the second lid body. A second pivotal connecting portion consisting of a thick wall portion, a pivotal pivoting hole that is concentrically drilled in the first pivotal connecting portion and the second pivotal connecting portion, and opens only at the end in the axial direction. And a pivot shaft that penetrates through and pivotally connects the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion to each other.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the respective pivot holes in the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion are concentrically bored and open only at the axial end portions, and the pivot shafts are pivotally attached to each other. Since the first pivotally-attached portion and the second pivotally-attached portion are provided so as to pass through the hole and are pivotally attached to each other, the first lid body and the second lid body do not need to have the through-hole provided inside the container body. And can be pivoted to each other.

The engaging shafts 62 1, ... Of the third bearings 62, ... Are engaged with the hooks 38a, 38b ,. Then, the shafts 71, 71 are connected to the pivot holes 56a, 56a of the third bearing portion 53, the pivot holes 37a, 37a located outside the first bearing portion, and the pivot hole 60a of the third bearing portion 53. , 60a, pivotal holes 37a, 37a located inside the first bearing portion, and holes 61a, 61a of the third bearing portion 53 in this order to pivotally mount the movable lid 4 to the fixed lid 3. In this way, the storage container 1 is completed.

Next, attachment of the storage container 1 to the vehicle will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 17, a hook 79 having an inverted U shape is engaged with the hook engaging portion 22 of the container body 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 20, using a belt 81 in which a buckle 82 composed of two rings 82a and 82b is joined to the base end thereof (see FIGS. 18 and 19), as shown in FIG. It is attached to. One end of an S-shaped S-shaped hook 92, 92 is engaged with a string stopper 91, 91 provided on the lower outer side of the loading platform of the light truck 90, and the other end of the S-shaped hook 92, 92 is A belt 81 is stretched between the hook 79 and the connecting hole 80, the tip of the belt 81 is passed through the rings 82a and 82b according to the arrow A shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, and the tip of the belt 81 is strongly pulled. Fix in the state. In this way, the storage container 1 is fixed to the front part of the loading platform of the light truck 90.

Next, the fitting portions of the container body 2, the fixed lid 3, and the movable lid 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 21 to 23. FIG. 21 is a view showing a fitting portion between the container body 2 and the fixed lid 3, and since the fixed side flange 31 is positioned so as to cover the body side flange 11, rainwater cannot enter. Next, as shown in FIG. 22, when rainwater enters from the front side and part of both side surfaces of the main body side flange 11, the movable side flange should be positioned so as to cover the main body side flange 11 as described above. Therefore, it cannot be invaded. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 23, rainwater cannot penetrate into the fitting portion between the recess 23 of the container body 2, the drainage groove 40 of the fixed lid 3 and the movable side flange 51 of the movable lid 4 as well. Moreover, even if water near the both ends of the upper surface of the movable lid 3 tries to enter the container body 2 from both side surfaces of the water-proof rib 42, the water is drained below the drain groove 40, and the water is also drained in this portion. Can't break in.

Further, when the intrusion of rainwater at the pivotally connecting portion between the fixed lid 3 and the movable lid 4 is examined, the shafts 56 a, 56 a of the third bearing portion 53 into which the shafts 71, 71 are press fitted. , Holes 37a, 37a located outside the first bearing portion, holes 60a, 60a of the third bearing portion 53, holes 37a, 37a located inside the first bearing portion, third bearing portion 53 Since the holes 61a and 61a of No. 1 do not penetrate into the container body 2, water cannot enter even in this portion.

As described above, rainwater cannot enter the respective fitting portions of the container body 2, the fixed lid 3 and the movable lid 4, and the fixed lid 3 and the movable lid 4 which are particularly problematic are Even in the pivotally connected part, there is no hole penetrating inside the container body 2, and rainwater does not enter.

[0032]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, the first lid and the second lid can be pivotally attached to each other without providing a hole penetrating the inside of the container body, so that water can be prevented from entering the inside of the container body from this portion. A storage container that can be prevented and is placed outside is the most suitable one that satisfies the specifications of excellent usability.
