[Problems to be solved by the device]

 To store and store shoes that cannot be stored in a shoe box at home, the paper packaging box that comes with the shoe is often used. In such a packaging box, the shape and color of the shoes inside cannot be judged from the outside of the box. Since most packaging boxes consist of a box body that opens upward and a lid that covers the box body, it takes a lot of time to put in and take out shoes when a large number of them are stacked and stored. There is a difference in the size of the packaging box depending on the manufacturer, size, etc. When these are stored together, it looks bad and cannot be stacked in a stable state. For this reason, the conventional shoe boxes mentioned above are also unsatisfactory as household footwear storage cases.

The purpose of the present invention is to determine whether or not a pair of footwear stored in the case is the target from the outside of the case, especially when a large number of shoes are stacked vertically and horizontally. The objective is to provide such a convenient home footwear storage case that the color and shape of the footwear can be discriminated from the outside through the front wall of the case, and that the footwear can be easily put in and taken out through the entrance on the front of the case. The purpose of this invention is to provide a footwear storage case that can reliably prevent displacement in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction in a stacked state in a multi-tiered state, and is suitable for storing a large number of items collectively in an orderly stacked state. To do.

An object of the present invention is to provide a footwear storage case which is composed of a plurality of parts including a case main body which can be folded flat in its entirety, and which occupies less space during transportation or stock storage. Especially. An object of the present invention is to provide a footwear storage case in which a case main body having a larger surface area than other parts can be processed at low cost and the overall manufacturing cost can be reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a footwear storage case that can be easily assembled by a user by simply joining and press-fitting and fixing all parts without using a tightening tool or the like.

[Embodiment of device]

 1 to 3, the footwear storage case of the present invention includes a case body 1 having a rectangular tubular shape with front and rear surfaces opened, and a front frame 2 and a rear frame 3 that close the front and rear opening surfaces of the case body 1.

The case main body 1 is formed of an upper wall 4, a lower wall 5, and left and right side walls 6 and 7 in a rectangular tube shape, and two adjacent surface walls are formed as one part. That is, the case main body 1 is composed of a pair of half case bodies 1a and 1b divided by a plane including a diagonal line. One half case body 1a has an upper wall 4 and a left side wall 6, and the other half case body 1b has a lower wall 5 and a right side wall 7. Both half cases 1a and 1b are the same parts, and are injection molded products made of transparent plastic material.

In FIGS. 6 and 7, in the half case bodies 1 a and 1 b, the upper wall 4 and the left side wall 6, or the lower wall 5 and the right side wall 7 are integrally connected via a hinge portion 8 which is thinner than the other. Are formed so that three male and female engaging pieces 9 and 10 are integrally provided at corresponding points along the joint edge parallel to the hinge portion 8, and the corners of the front and rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 and 7 are formed. A pair of engaging projections 11 and 11 are provided near the parts. Notches 12 are provided at the corners of the surface walls 4 to 7 to prevent adjacent surface walls from abutting and interfering with each other during assembly.

In FIG. 6, male engaging pieces 9 are provided on the joining edges of the left and right side walls 6 and 7, and female engaging pieces 10 are provided on the joining edges on the upper wall 4 and lower wall 5 sides. . The former engagement piece 9 is composed of a small shaft body having a circular cross section bridging the die-cutting hole 13, and is provided in a state where half of the shaft is projected to the inner surface side of the left and right side walls 6 and 7. This is to improve the appearance by reducing the gap between adjacent wall surfaces after joining. The latter engagement piece 10 is formed of a socket body having a groove of a superior arc shape for receiving the engagement piece 9, and its front-rear length is set slightly smaller than the front-rear length of the die-cutting hole 13. After bending the hinge portion 8 at a right angle, the shaft-shaped engagement pieces 9 are press-fitted to the socket-shaped engagement pieces 10 to integrally integrate the pair of half case bodies 1a and 1b. 1 can be formed. In this assembled state, the front and rear edges of the die-cutting hole 13 are brought into contact with the front and rear end edges of the engaging piece 10 to restrict the half case bodies 1a and 1b from moving back and forth. As shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2, one pair of footwear such as shoes can be stored inside the case body 1.

The front frame 2 is formed by a rectangular frame-shaped frame body 15 each made of an injection-molded product, and a door 16 that opens and closes by swinging an opening surface of the frame body 15. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the frame main body 15 is formed in a U-shaped cross section including the outer wall 17 and the inner wall 18, and has a circumferential connection groove 19 between both walls 17 and 18. The front-rear length of the inner wall 18 is set shorter than the front-rear length of the outer wall 17. This is for facilitating the end edges of the half case bodies 1a and 1b to be fitted into the connecting groove 19 using the outer wall 17 as a guide. A pair of upper and lower engaging openings 19a are opened on the left and right side surfaces of the inner wall 18. Stacking protrusions 20 are provided so as to project downward at two locations on the lower surface of the frame body 15 near the left and right ends, and recesses 21 for receiving the protrusions 20 are provided at corresponding locations on the upper surface of the frame body 15. The protrusion size of the protrusion 20 is set to be equal to or slightly smaller than the thickness size of the outer wall 17. This is because the case weight acts on the sturdy front and rear frames 2 and 3 in the stacking state.

The door 16 is made of a transparent plastic material, and has a rectangular front wall 23 that is slightly smaller than the opening surface surrounded by the inner wall 18, and a peripheral wall that protrudes inward from the case along the peripheral edge of the front wall 23. 24 and 24 are integrally provided. As shown in FIG. 1, shafts 25 are provided so as to project from the left and right side surfaces of the peripheral wall 24, and the shafts 25 are fitted into bearing holes 26 provided on the left and right of the inner wall 18 of the frame body 15 respectively. The entire door 16 can swing upward about the axis 25. The upper opening swing limit angle of the door 16 is slightly more than 143 degrees from the closed position, and this limit position is shown by an imaginary line in FIG. In order to facilitate the opening operation of the door 16 located in the opening surface of the frame body 15 in the closed state of the door 16, a semi-circular finger hook is formed at the center of the lower edge of the door 16 as shown in FIG. A scale 27 is provided. Further, stoppers 28 having a semicircular cross section are provided on both sides of the upper edge of the door 16, and the stopper 28 limits the swinging limit of the door 16 toward the inside of the case.

The rear frame 3 has an outer wall 17 and an inner wall 18 similar to the frame main body 15, and has a circumferential connecting groove 19 formed between them, and has an engagement opening 19 a, a stacking projection 20 and a stacking projection 20. The recess 21 is similarly provided. The rear frame 3 is different from the frame body 15 in that the portion corresponding to the opening surface of the frame body 15 is closed by an end wall and is formed in a lid shape. By mounting the case body 1 on the rear frame 3 and the front frame 2, the footwear storage case is completed. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the front and rear edges of the half case bodies 1a and 1b are inserted into the connecting grooves 19 of the frame body 15 of the front frame 2 and the rear frame 3, respectively. The shape of the box is retained by the front and rear frames 2.3. In this assembled state, the engagement projections 11 provided on the respective half cases 1a and 1b engage with the engagement openings 19a provided through the inner wall 18 of the respective frames 2 and 3 to form the half case bodies 1a and 1b. Is prevented from accidentally coming out of the connecting groove 19. Therefore, even if an external force in a direction orthogonal to each surface wall is applied to each of the upper, lower, left, and right surface walls 4 to 7, or an external force in a direction separating from each other is applied to the front and rear frames 2 and 3, the box shape can be reliably maintained.

According to this footwear storage case, as shown in FIG. 7, the half case bodies 1a and 1b in the expanded state (molded state) are vertically stacked, and the front and rear frames 2.3 are further stacked on the upper surface thereof to be in a flat state. By wrapping the product in, it is possible to minimize the space required for transportation and inventory storage, and reduce transportation and storage costs. Since the case body 1 is composed of a pair of half case bodies 1a and 1b, which are the same component, the molding die is smaller and the manufacturing cost is smaller than when the whole body of the case body 1 is molded as one component. The usage cost can be reduced to around 60%, and the unit price per storage case can be reduced accordingly.

In use, the storage case is installed with its door 16 facing the user. When storing a large number of storage cases together, arrange each case vertically, horizontally, or vertically and horizontally. At this time, the sizes of the storage cases are all the same, and since the stacking projections 20 and the recesses 21 are provided above and below the front and rear frames 2 and 3, it is possible to stack a number of cases in an orderly manner. It is well prevented from moving in the front-back direction and the left-right direction. Since the door 16 is made of a transparent plastic material, even if the cases are stacked vertically and horizontally, the shape and color of the footwear stored in each case can be easily identified from the outside. The door 16 of each case can be freely opened and closed regardless of the stacking position, so that shoes can be freely taken in and out. It should be noted that the storage case may be installed upside down and the door 16 may be used with the door 16 open and swing downward. If necessary, it may be used in a vertically and vertically long installation posture.

The present invention can be implemented by partially modifying the above embodiment as follows. For example, one half case body 1a is configured to include the upper wall 4 and the left and right side walls 6 and 7, and the other half case body 1b is formed of only the lower wall 5. In this case, hinge portions 8 are provided between the left and right side walls 7 and 8 and the upper wall 4. The half case bodies 1a and 1b can be formed by dividing the case body 1 at a middle portion in the left-right width direction or a middle portion in the vertical height direction, and need not necessarily be divided by a plane including a diagonal line.

The case body 1 may be a semi-transparent body that is entirely colored. Further, at least one of the upper wall 4 and the left and right side walls 6 and 7 may be transparent or semi-transparent. Similarly, the door 16 may be formed of a translucent body that allows the inside of the case to be seen through, and may be partially transparent or translucent in a window shape. The connection groove 19 can be formed intermittently in the circumferential direction. The case body 1 and the front and rear frames 2 and 3 may be inseparably fixed with an adhesive. It suffices that the engagement pieces 9 and 10 have a relationship capable of being press-fitted to each other, and if necessary, can be continuously formed over the entire length of the joining edge.
