Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a storage container, and more particularly to a storage container having a storage portion in a lid.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in this type of storage container, as is often seen in a cooler box, a container having a storage portion for storing small items is widely used.

In Registered Design No. 7772514 (Japanese Patent Application No. 62-36756) shown in FIG. 11, a lid 102 that closes an opening of a container body 101 is pivotally supported via a hinge means 103. The cooler box 100 is formed by integrally forming the lid body storage portion 104 on the lid body 102, and pivotally supporting the second lid body 105 that closes the opening of the lid body storage portion 104 via the hinge means 106. It is disclosed.

Since the cooler box 100 has the lid housing 103 formed at the upper portion, it can be said that it is convenient for taking out an object, but it is usually used outdoors. When exposed to rain, rainwater enters the lid housing portion 103 from above.

Therefore, the present inventor has paid attention to preventing rainwater from entering the lid accommodating portion in consideration of outdoor use.

As a structure for preventing the entry of rainwater, although not shown, as disclosed in, for example, Registered Design No. 913733 (Japanese Patent Application No. 4-22942), an opening that opens at the upper part of the storage section. In general, an opening flange that projects upward is formed on the entire peripheral edge, and the entire peripheral edge of the lid that closes the opening is bent downward to form a peripheral rib to surround the opening flange. Has been done.

[0007] Here, a case where a storage item 107 shown by a chain line in the drawing is stored in the conventional lid storage unit 104 will be verified. When the storage item 107 is stored, it is dropped from above the lid storage unit 104 and stored. Next, it is verified that it is very difficult to take out the stored items 107. That is, there is only a very small gap between the side surface of the storage item 107 and the side surface of the lid storage section 104, and it is not possible to put a finger. Generally, when a stored item is taken out, it is taken out by hooking a so-called finger, and therefore it is very difficult to take out the conventional product 100 in which the finger cannot be put in.

This means that, from the user's point of view, it is difficult to say that the shape of the lid accommodating portion is the optimum shape when the object is taken out, and it is very difficult for the user. It is profitable.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage container in which a stored item in a lid housing portion formed integrally with a lid body can be easily taken out.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the storage container according to the first invention is a box-shaped container body having an open top surface, a first lid body that opens and closes the opening of the container body, and a first lid body. A lid housing part that is integrally formed on one side and has an open top, an inclined surface that is formed on at least one side surface of the lid housing part and that has a gentle slope, and the entire opening of the lid housing part. A peripheral bank portion that is formed at the edge and projects upward from the virtual upper surface of the first lid body, and is integrally formed on the other side of the first lid body that is separated from the peripheral bank portion by a predetermined length. And a second lid body that is rotatably supported by the ridges that bulge upward from the virtual upper surface of the And a peripheral rib that surrounds the peripheral bank portion and is formed by bending the peripheral edge downward.

The storage container according to the second invention has a shape in which the peripheral bank portion is continuously folded back upward from the virtual upper surface of the first lid body.

[0012]

[Action]

 In the first invention, two storage spaces can be formed in the storage container. For example, the container body can store a large item and the lid storage unit can store a small item. Further, since the lid housing portion formed on the first lid has an inclined surface, when a rectangular shaped article is stored in this housing portion, at least a space between the side surface and the article is provided. A gap corresponding to the slope of the inclined surface is formed. This gap makes it easier to take out the stored items. Further, since the peripheral rib portion surrounds the peripheral bank, rainwater can be prevented from entering the lid housing portion.

In the second invention, since the opening edge of the lid accommodating portion is formed by folding back upward, the rigidity of the entire first lid can be increased.

[0014]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the storage container of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the storage container 1, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof. A container main body 11 having an upper opening, a first lid 21 for closing the opening, and one side of the first lid 21. The second lid 61 is configured to integrally close the opening of the lid accommodating portion 40, and the buckle 81 that strengthens the connection between the container body 11 and the first lid 21.

The container body 11 is a box-shaped container having an opening 12 formed in an upper part thereof, and an opening rib 13 bent downward is formed over the entire peripheral edge of the opening 12. . Then, stacking ribs 14 extending from the opening ribs 13 to the side surfaces at the four corners of the container body 11 in the longitudinal direction are formed.

Further, a stepped portion 15 is formed on the side surface of the container body 11 in the short-side direction so as to be recessed toward the inside, thereby increasing the rigidity of the container body 11. The opening rib 13 at the position of the stepped portion 15 is extended downwardly over a predetermined length to form a pair of grip portions 16.

A bearing rib 17 is formed between both ends of the handle portion 16 and the outer surface of the stepped portion 15. The bearing rib 17 has a shaft of a buckle 81 penetrating in a short direction (see FIG. A bearing hole 18 is formed to pivotally support a bearing (not shown).

Next, the first lid 21 that closes the opening 12 of the container body 11 has a lid housing portion 40 formed on one side with the center in the longitudinal direction as a boundary, and the lid housing portion 40. And a raised portion 22 formed on the other side of the first lid 21, which is formed to be separated by a predetermined length.

The raised portion 22 is integrally formed by being raised above the virtual upper surface 23 of the first lid body. A horizontal surface 24 is formed on the upper surface of the raised portion 22, and a frame portion 25 that is further raised upward is formed on three sides of the horizontal surface 24. An inclined surface 30 which is formed continuously from the frame portion 25 and extends obliquely downward is formed. Further, a wall surface 26 is formed on one of the three sides other than the three sides so as to fall substantially vertically from the horizontal surface 24 to the virtual upper surface 23.

Between the inclined surface 30 and the wall surface 26, there is formed a pivotal support surface 27 which is a side surface facing the present invention and which is substantially vertically dropped from the frame portion 25. A joint surface 31 is formed between the pivotal surface 27 and the inclined surface 30 and extends at an angle of a predetermined angle. On the pivot surface 27, a pivot hole 28 that does not penetrate the back surface of the first lid body 21 is formed toward the inner side in the short direction. A guide groove 29 having a predetermined length in the vertical direction and not penetrating the back surface of the first lid 21 is formed in the upper part of the pivot hole 28. As shown in FIG. 6, a cut surface 29a is formed at the end of the inner groove 29 on the side of the pivot hole 28, which is inclined obliquely downward toward the opening.

Further, a surrounding flange 32 that continuously extends from the inclined surface 30 in a stepwise manner and surrounds the opening rib 13 of the container body 11 from the outside is formed over the entire circumference of the first lid body 21. Has been done.

Next, the lid accommodating portion 40 is formed in a box shape whose upper surface is opened, and the opening edge of the opening 41 is bent upward from the virtual upper surface 23 of the first lid 21. A peripheral bank 42, which is inwardly bent and further downwardly bent, that is, a so-called upwardly folded shape, is formed over the entire circumference. Then, of the four side surfaces forming the side wall of the lid housing portion 40 extending downward from the peripheral bank 42, the side surface located at the rear side is an inclined surface having a positive gradient toward the inner side. Are formed. Then, a bottom surface 46 that connects these side surfaces is formed.

Further, block-shaped fitting receiving portions 43 are formed at two positions near the corners of the peripheral bank 42 located forward. At the front portion of the fitting receiving portion 43, a convex portion 44 protruding outward in the longitudinal direction is formed.

As shown in FIG. 5, on the back surface of the first lid body 21, reinforcing ribs 45 extending in the short direction and contacting the upper surfaces of the above-mentioned opening ribs 13 are formed at both ends. Reinforcing ribs 46 are formed that extend in the longitudinal direction and also have both ends abutting the upper surfaces of the opening ribs 13.

Next, the second lid 61 that closes the opening 41 of the lid accommodating portion 40 has a substantially rectangular shape as a whole. A horizontal surface 62 is formed on the upper surface of the second lid body 61. A frame portion 63 protruding upward from the horizontal surface 62 is formed on three sides of the peripheral edge of the horizontal surface 62. The frame portion 63 extends obliquely downward from the frame portion 63 continuously and further falls substantially vertically. A peripheral rib 64 is formed. Further, peripheral ribs 65 are formed on one side of the horizontal plane 62 other than the above-mentioned three sides, and fall downward from the horizontal plane 62 substantially vertically.

Further, engaging piece portions 66 are formed at two positions on the front portion of the peripheral rib 64 by notches 66 a that are cut out at predetermined intervals. An engaging hole 67 penetrating in the lengthwise direction is formed in the engaging piece portion 66 so that the above-mentioned convex portion 44 is fitted and engaged. Further, a handle portion 66b is formed in a step shape at the free end of the engaging piece portion 66.

At both ends of the peripheral rib 64, as shown in FIG. 7, bearing surfaces 69 are formed that extend outward from the peripheral rib 65 in the longitudinal direction and extend substantially vertically downward. There is. A bearing surface 70 is formed between the bearing surface 69 and the peripheral rib 64. In addition, the bearing surface 69 is formed with a ridge 68 that projects inward in the short-side direction. The free end side of the ridge 68 is formed with a cut surface 68a inclined toward the outer side in the short-side direction (see FIG. 6). The ridge 68 is pivotally supported in the pivot hole 28 described above, and facilitates the work by the cutting surface 68a when the second lid 61 is attached.

Further, on the back surface of the second lid body 51, reinforcing ribs 71 and 72 projecting downward from the back surface and extending in a lattice shape are formed. Both ends of the reinforcing ribs 71 and 72 are adapted to abut on the upper surface of the bank 42.

The buckle 81 for strengthening the connection between the container body 11 and the first lid body 21 is made of a plate material. A pair of bearing pieces 82 protruding in the thickness direction are formed on the lower sides of both ends of the buckle 81. A pivot shaft (not shown) is formed so as to project inward from the facing surface of the bearing piece 82. Further, an engaging piece 83 protruding in the thickness direction and extending in the longitudinal direction is formed at a position lower than the upper part of the buckle 81 by one step. The engaging piece 83 has a protrusion (not shown) protruding downward.

A procedure for assembling the above-described constituent members to form the storage container 1 will be described below.

First, the protrusion 68 of the second lid body 61 is fitted into the guide groove 29 of the first lid body 21. Next, this portion is pushed downward to pivotally support the ridge 68 in the pivot hole 28. Further, a pivot shaft (not shown) of the buckle 81 is pivotally supported by the bearing hole 18 of the container body 11. Next, the opening 12 of the container body 11 is closed by the first lid 21. Finally, the buckle 81 is rotated toward the first lid body 21 to engage the protrusion (not shown) of the engaging piece 83 to strengthen the connection between the container body 11 and the first lid body 21.

Next, an operating procedure of the storage container 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

When storing a stored item in the container body 1, the buckle 81 is rotated downward to release the engagement of the buckle 81. Then, the first lid 21 is lifted up to open the opening 12. As a result, the stored items can be stored through the opening 12.

Next, when accommodating an object to be accommodated in the lid accommodating section 40, the handle section 66b of the engaging piece 66 is lifted upward to release the engagement. The opening of the disengaged second lid body 61 is opened by rotating upward as it is. This rotational movement is restricted in its movement by the joint surface 31 and the receiving surface 70, and its posture is maintained in a self-supporting state at the position shown in the figure. As a result, the stored items can be stored through the opening 41.

In the storage container 1 assembled as described above, the horizontal surface 24 of the raised portion 22 and the horizontal surface 62 of the second lid body 61 are flush with each other, as shown in FIG. Therefore, a large horizontal surface can be formed on the upper part of the storage container 1, and it can be used as a table, for example. This is very useful for outdoor use and can be widely used in places such as picnics and camping.

Then, a peripheral bank 42 is formed on the entire edge of the opening 41 of the lid accommodating portion 40, and the peripheral ribs 64 and 65 of the second lid 61 surround the peripheral bank 42. However, rainwater and the like do not enter the lid housing portion 40, which is also useful for outdoor use.

Further, in the storage container 1 of the present invention, the lid housing portion 40 has a structure that enhances the overall rigidity of the first lid body 21. That is, since the peripheral bank 42 formed in the opening of the lid accommodating portion 40 has a folded structure, it is well known that the structure is stronger than a flat plate. In addition, since the stored items are stored in the lid storage unit 40, downward load is exerted on this portion, but the peripheral bank 42 has a strong shape against this load. Needless to say.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion 68 of the second lid body 61 is guided to the vicinity of the pivot hole 28 by the guide groove 29 of the second lid body 21, and further pivotally supported by the cut surface 29a. Since the second lid 61 is guided to the hole 28, the second lid 61 can be easily attached to the first lid 21. Since neither the pivot hole 28 nor the guide groove 29 penetrates into the first lid body 21, rainwater or the like does not enter the lid body housing portion 40. Further, when the pivot hole 28 is injection-molded, the pivot surface 27 becomes thick, but the guide groove 29 can form a so-called meat steal, which improves the moldability. it can.

Here, a case where a storage object 91 having a size of the bottom surface 46 of the lid storage portion 40 × height size is stored will be verified with reference to FIG. First, when storing, it is brought into contact with the surface facing the inclined surface 45, and then the inclined surface 45 is slid and stored. Next, when taking out, the stored item 91 can be taken out by putting a hand from the inclined surface 45 side to raise the stored item once and then changing the grip. Here, in the same way as above, when the conventional product in which the gap C formed between the stored item 91 and the inclined surface 45 is very narrow is verified, the stored item should be dropped from the opening. However, since the gap between the storage item 91 and the side surface of the lid storage part is very small when taking out, it is inevitable that the fingers cannot be inserted and it is difficult to take out. As is clear from a comparison of the above two verification results, by forming the inclined surface 45 on the side surface of the lid housing portion 40, the work of storing / removing the stored items 91 is significantly improved, and for the user. Can give big profits.

In addition, when the object is stored in the container body 11 or the stored object is taken out, as described above, the entire first lid 21 is lifted to open the opening 12. To do. This means that the lid storage unit 40 does not tilt so much, so that the stored items stored in the lid storage unit 40 can be maintained in the stored state, and the inside of the lid storage unit 40 becomes cluttered. It never happens.

[0041]

[Effect of device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. According to the first invention, the container body can mainly store a large object, and the lid accommodating portion can store a small object. In addition, since the inclined surface makes it easy to store and take out an object in the lid storage portion, it is possible to provide a storage container having excellent storage ability. Further, the peripheral ribs of the second lid surrounding the peripheral bank can prevent rainwater from entering the lid accommodating portion, and thus can be a storage container suitable for outdoor use.

According to the second invention, since the peripheral bank portion forming the opening edge of the lid accommodating portion formed in the first lid body is formed by folding back, the first lid is formed by this folding structure. The rigidity of the body can be increased.
