[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As mentioned above, the work of transposing the pachinko ball storage container from the floor to the dolly requires work on the middle waist, which puts a strain on the waist and the inconvenience that the pachinko balls spill from the storage container during the transshipment work. There was a point. Further, even when a player asks an employee of the store to do the work, the amount of work done by the employee may increase, which may lead to an occupational accident problem such as a backache.

Further, even if it is a new storage container carrier that does not require transshipment work, when it is provided, its operability can be surely and easily operated by any person. Then, there is a problem that the operation must be easily understood and the operation must be performed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the need for transshipment work of a pachinko ball storage container, eliminate the work of the middle waist, no pachinko ball spillage, and even if a pachinko ball spills, It is intended to provide a storage container carrier that is quickly removed, not limited to moving parts, and operates reliably. In particular, a storage container carrier that is easy to operate and that can be carried out reliably by any number of people is provided. There is.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Carrying a storage container provided with an overhanging portion on a part or all of a side surface thereof, the leg portion having a wheel, and an engagement that is attached to the leg portion so as to be able to move up and down and engages with the overhanging portion of the storage container. In a storage container carrier comprising an elevating member provided with a member, an operating member for elevating the elevating member, and a holding member for holding the ascending position of the elevating member, the engaging member is a horizontally long plate-shaped member, The lower edge side is attached to the elevating member by a hinge, and the plate-like body is notched on the lower edge side so that the width of the other portion is narrower than the width of the portion attached by the hinge. This is related to the transport of storage containers.

The storage container carrier according to the present invention is slid so that the engaging portion of the elevating member is located below the projecting portion (flange) of the lowermost container of the stacked pachinko ball storage containers. No, by operating the operating member, the stacked containers can be lifted as they are, and the holding member can hold their position, which eliminates the need to re-load the pachinko ball storage container and work in the middle. The present invention relates to a storage container carrier that eliminates spillage of pachinko balls.

The operating member is configured to rotate about an axis, and the operation is performed by a foot. At the same time, the distance from the axis to the operating point (force point) of the foot is pushed by the lifting member. It relates to a storage container carrier that can be operated with a lighter operating force than the actual weight of stacked pachinko ball storage containers by leveraging the principle of making it longer than the point of action. .

Further, since it is possible to hold the rising position of the elevating member by the holding member and release it from the held rising position only by depressing the operating member. And the holding container and the lifted state is released by pressing the pedal again.

Furthermore, when releasing the raised position, it is possible to gradually (slowly) bring the containers to the lowered position while feeling the weight of the stacked pachinko ball storage containers. This is related to a storage container carrier that does not spill pachinko balls when descending, because the stacked storage containers for pachinko balls do not drop suddenly.

The present invention relates to a storage container transport vehicle in which the pachinko balls are automatically removed from the movable parts even if the pachinko balls enter the movable parts carelessly, and the operation is reliably performed.

To reduce the thickness of the hinge so that the exclusion member bends upward when the hinge is closed, and the top surface has the chevron 12 to allow the pachinko balls to escape, regardless of whether the hinge is open or closed. The balls are excluded from the space described below. For convenience of explanation, only one place is shown in FIG. 1, but it is arranged above all of the spring hinges 10. Reference numeral 13 is a stopper attached to the connecting member 3. The lower edges of the guide plates 5L, 5R are attached to the elevating members 2L, 2R by spring hinges, respectively, and the upper edges are normally urged to rotate inwardly of the elevating members 2L, 2R, and the rear ends are stoppers. 13 and the rotating position is maintained. At the rotation position of the guide plate 5 which is provided on the stopper 13, the space (spacing) 14 between the lower edge 9 of the guide plate 5 and the elevating member 2 is wide enough for the pachinko balls a to pass by the notch 9. Has been done.

Reference numerals 15L and 15R are leg portions having a U-shaped cross section, and their openings are oriented upward. Reference numeral 16 is a base portion for connecting the leg portions 15L, 15R so as to be juxtaposed in parallel with the elevating members 2L, 2R at the same intervals. By connecting the rear end portions of the leg portions 15L, 15R with the base portion 16, The legs 15L and 15R are in a state in which their tip ends are open. Reference numeral 17 denotes a rotating plate, one end of which is pivotally supported by the elevating member 2 by a shaft 18 and the other end of which is pivotally supported by the leg 15 by a shaft 19. In addition, on the bottom surface of the leg portion 15, a hole p larger than a pachinko ball is formed between the shaft 22 and the shaft 19 and between the shaft 19 and the tip of the leg portion 15, and the U-shaped leg portion is formed. Even if a pachinko ball a enters the inside of 15, it is discharged to the outside (floor surface) through this hole p. Reference numerals 20L and 20R denote substantially triangular rotating plates, one end of which is supported by the lifting member 2 by the shaft 21 and the other end of which is supported by the leg 15 by the shaft 22, and the remaining ends. The connecting arms 23L and 23R are connected to.

Reference numerals 24L and 24R are hollow columns that are planted in the base portion 16, 25 is a handle whose lower end is held by the hollow columns, and 26 is a foot pedal that is fixed to the connecting arms 23L and 23R. Reference numeral 27 denotes a lock lever, which has an engaging recess 28 formed at the front end thereof, and a rear end rotatably attached to a bearing 29 provided on the lower surface of the foot pedal 26 by a shaft 30. Reference numeral 31 is a release pedal, the front end of which is attached to the foot pedal 26 by the hinge 22, and a hook portion 33 which engages with the foot pedal 26 is formed at the rear end. Reference numeral 34 denotes a leaf spring, one end of which is fixed to the lower surface of the tip of the release pedal 31 and the other end of which extends downward through the opening 35 of the release pedal 31 and abuts the lower surface of the lock bar 27. 27 The tip end is urged to rotate upward (clockwise direction in FIGS. 2 to 4). The release pedal 31 is urged to rotate upward (counterclockwise in FIGS. 2 to 4) by the reaction of the leaf spring 34, but the hook portion 33 is locked by the foot pedal 26 and the state is maintained. .

Reference numeral 36 denotes an inverted U-shaped fixed lock member fixedly mounted on the base 16, 37 is a swivel wheel attached to the front of the leg, 38 is a non-swivelable wheel attached to the base 16, Reference numeral 39 is a side guide erected on the upper surfaces of the elevating members 2L, 2R. The side guides 39 prevent the stacked storage containers from collapsing laterally. 40L and 40R are return springs, one end of which is locked to the hollow columns 24L and 24R and the other end of which is locked to the foot pedal 26, which biases the foot pedal 26 upward (counterclockwise in FIGS. 2 and 3). doing. The foot pedal 26 is urged to rotate upward by the return springs 40L and 40R, but is maintained in the state of FIG. 2 by a stopper (not shown). Maintained in position.

Next, a method of using the storage container carrier according to the present invention will be described based on the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the storage container carrier is brought to a position where the storage container 1 can be inserted between the legs 15L and 15R, and then the storage container carrier is brought into contact with the stopper 13 of the storage container 1. To move forward. At this time, the guide plates 5L, 5R come into contact with and rub against the side wall of the storage container 1, but as described above, since the protective sheet 5a is attached, the side wall of the storage container 1 may be damaged. Moreover, since the friction coefficient is small, the forward movement can be performed smoothly. FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state in which the storage container 1 is advanced until it comes into contact with the stopper 13.

When the foot pedal 26 is stepped on against the urging force of the return spring 40 from the state shown in FIG. 2, the connecting arm 23 integral with the foot pedal 26 rotates clockwise about the shaft 22. , The rotating plate 20 is rotated clockwise. As a result, since the shaft 21 also rotates clockwise about the shaft 22, the elevating member 2 fixed to the shaft 21 also tries to rotate clockwise, but the elevating member 2 is rotated by the other rotating plate 17. Since it is connected to the leg portion 15, the turning power is also transmitted to the rotating plate 17 via the shaft 18, and the rotating plate rotates about the shaft 19, so that the lifting member 2 is slightly retracted. While rising horizontally while maintaining a horizontal state.

On the other hand, when the foot pedal 26 is depressed, the lock bar 27 attached to the foot pedal 26 also moves downward. 6A to 6D are views for explaining the relationship between the lock bar 27 and the fixed lock member 36. In FIG. 6, the hinge 32, the return spring 40, etc. are omitted in order to avoid complication. FIG. 6A shows a state before the foot pedal 26 is depressed. From this state, when the foot pedal 26 (the release pedal 31 is not depressed) is depressed to a position limited by a stopper (not shown), the state shown in FIG. 6B is obtained. The stopper may be provided on the base 16 to limit the rotation of the connecting arm 23. The state of FIG. 6B is a state in which the engagement recess 28 of the lock bar 27 faces the lock portion 36 a of the fixed lock member 36. When the foot pedal 26 is returned to the state of FIG. 6 (A) by weakening the stepping force from the state of FIG. 6 (B), the foot pedal 26 and the lock bar 27 rotate about the shaft 22 as the center. Therefore, the engaging recessed portion 28 enters the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36 during the return stroke, and engages with the lock portion 36a to prevent further return. This state is shown in FIG. 6C, which is a state in which the elevating member 2, that is, the storage container 1 is held in the raised position.

The operation of returning from the raised position of FIG. 6C to the original lowered position shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. When the foot pedal 26 together with the release pedal 31 is depressed from the state of FIG. 6C to a position limited by the stopper (not shown) described in FIG. 6B, the state of FIG. 6D is obtained. When the release pedal 31 is depressed, the release pedal 31 has its front end attached to the hinge 32, so that the release pedal 31 is rotated clockwise about the shaft of the hinge 32, and the leaf spring 34 fixed to the lower surface is rotated. Rotate in the direction. That is, the other end of the leaf spring 34 pushes up the lock bar 27 from below and rotates the lock bar 27 clockwise about the shaft 30, so that the engaging recess 28 of the lock bar 27 locks the fixed lock member 36. It is in a state where it does not face the portion 36a. This is the same as depressing the release pedal 31 in the state of FIG. 6 (B). When the stepping force is weakened from the state of FIG. 6 (D) and the foot pedal 26 together with the release pedal 31 is returned to the state of FIG. 6 (A), the engagement concave portion 28 returns with the state not facing the lock portion 36a. Since it moves along the locus, the engagement recess 28 of the lock bar 27 does not engage with the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36, and returns to the state of FIG. 6 (A). As a result, the lifting member 2 returns to the lowered position shown in FIG.

The protrusions 28a and 28b forming the engaging recessed portion 28 of the lock bar 27 are arranged such that the protrusion 28a approaching the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36 from the rear side comes first during the locking operation. It is longer than the approaching protrusion 28b. This is because the protrusion 28b of the lock bar 27 first approaches the lock portion 36a, passes through the lock portion 36a, and the engaging recess 28 reaches the position facing the lock portion 36a, as shown in FIG. 6 (B). It is necessary to stop at this position, but this state is related to the positional relationship between the lock bar 27 and the fixed lock member 36, the movement path around the shaft 22 of the lock bar 27, the stop position of the foot pedal 26, etc. However, it was difficult to provide a uniform product that operates reliably. However, even if the leading protrusion 28b is shortened and set so as to reliably pass through the lock portion 36a, the trailing protrusion 28a has such a length as to reliably secure the lock portion 36a. Since it is possible to easily obtain the state in which the fitting recess 28 faces the lock portion 36a, it is possible to provide a uniform product that surely performs the locking operation even if there are the above-mentioned various errors.

Further, with respect to the movement path of the lock bar 27 approaching the fixed lock member 36, the lock bar 27 can be moved in a direction away from the fixed lock member 36, that is, an example of the embodiment will be described. The lock bar 27 is configured to be rotatable about the shaft 30 in the clockwise direction even when the protrusion 28b of the fixed lock member 36 has a movement locus that approaches and abuts the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36. Therefore, even if the protrusion 28b contacts the lock portion 36a as described above, the protrusion 28b can pass over the lock portion 36a by rotating the lock bar 27 in the clockwise direction. It will be possible. Of course, if the length of the protrusion 28a is sufficiently long, the protrusion 28a will not get over the lock portion 36a. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to provide a uniform product that reliably performs a locking operation.

FIGS. 7A and 7B show the above-described raising / lowering operation in the relationship between the storage container 1 and the guide plate 5, and are end views taken along the line AA of FIG. In order to avoid making the drawing complicated, hatching of the end face is omitted. FIG. 7A shows a state in which the storage container 1 is not housed between the leg portions 15L and 15R as shown in FIG. The upper edges of the guide plates 5L and 5R are pivotally urged toward the inner sides of the leg portions 15L and 15R by a hinge 10 with a spring, but they are abutted against a stopper 13 and maintained in the illustrated state. When the transport vehicle in the state of FIG. 7A is advanced toward the storage container 1, the bent portions 6L and 6R at the tips of the guide plates 5L and 5R capture the storage container 1 and the storage container 1 is stored. 1 is accommodated between both leg portions 15L and 15R. At this time, since the guide plate 5 is openable and closable by the hinge 10 with the spring, the storage container 1 and the guide plate 5 which are deformed depending on the positional relationship between the guide plate 5 and the storage container 1 or the storage state of the pachinko balls a. The positional relationship with and is adjusted by the hinge with spring 10, and the storage container 1 is stably stored between the two leg portions 15L and 15R. FIG. 7B shows the housed state. When the foot pedal 26 is stepped on as described above from the state of FIG. 7 (B), the guide plate 5 rises as the lifting member 2 rises, and the upper edge of the guide plate 5 moves to the protruding portion (the lower end of the hanging portion d 1). It is pushed up from below to reach the state of FIG. 7 (C).

As described above, since the guide plate 5 has the protrusion 7 having a predetermined length formed on a part of the upper edge thereof, the protrusion 7 is formed on the side wall b, the horizontal portion c, and the side wall b of the storage container 1. The structure is such that it enters the inside of the overhanging part consisting of the hanging part d. However, since the protrusion amount of the protrusion 7 is set to be smaller than the length of the hanging portion d 1, the upper edge of the protrusion 7 does not contact the lower surface of the horizontal portion c of the protruding portion. That is, when the storage container 1 is lifted up by the horizontal portion c by the protrusion 7, a force is intensively applied to the portion of the horizontal portion c with which the protrusion 7 abuts, which may damage the portion. However, in the case of the present embodiment, there is no such inconvenience. The storage container 1 is held and supported by the guide plate 5, but as is clear from FIG. 7 (C), the guide plate 5 has a further degree of freedom of opening and closing, so that the storage container can be stored during transportation. It is conceivable that 1 swings laterally. However, by providing the protrusion 7 described above, the protrusion 7 is caught by the hanging portion d of the projecting portion when it sways, so that the storage container 1 does not fall off the guide plate 5.

Since the guide plate 5 has the notch 9 at the lower edge, the pachinko ball a is placed between the guide plate 5 and the elevating member 2 regardless of whether the carrier is in use or not. Even if it enters, the pachinko ball a does not stay between the two and falls from the notch 9 to the floor surface, so it does not hinder the opening and closing of the guide plate 5. In particular, since the removing member 11 is provided above the hinge 10 with spring, even if the pachinko ball a enters the part of the hinge 10 with spring, the removing member 11 opens and closes the hinge as described above. Regardless of the state, since the pachinko ball a is removed in the direction of the cutout portion 9, the pachinko ball a can be removed even in the hinge portion.

Second Embodiment FIGS. 8 to 13 show a second embodiment according to the present invention. Members having the same functions and functions as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and symbols, and the description thereof will be omitted. Since the lock bar 27 in the second embodiment is simply rotatably attached to the foot pedal 26 by the shaft 30, the fixed lock member 36 is always attached by its own weight as shown in FIG. 13 (A). Is in contact with the upper surface of the lock portion 36a. Reference numeral 50 is a position selection device attached to the fixed lock member 36, and is composed of a main body 51 and a rod 52, as shown in detail in FIGS. 11 and 13. Reference numeral 53 is a release lever rotatably supported by a fixed lock member 36 by a shaft 54. The release lever 53 extends above the rod 52 and has a bent portion 53a with its tip slightly bent, The rear end is the contact portion 53b. A pressing piece T that abuts against the abutting portion 53b of the releasing lever 53 and presses the abutting portion 53b of the releasing lever 53 is attached to a position of the connecting member 3 that faces the releasing lever 53.

Reference numeral 55 is a cylindrical portion formed in the main body 51, 56 is a guide groove, 57 is an attaching portion for attaching to the fixed lock member 36, 58 is a locking hole, 59 is a rod head, 60 is a guide strip, and 61 Is a cam formed in the cutting portion on the side surface of the rod 52, 62 is a pin having a cam follower portion 62a and a locking portion 62b, and 63 is a spring for urging the rod 52 in the direction of discharging from the cylinder. The spring 63 is housed in a recess (not shown) formed on the side of the rod 52 opposite to the surface on which the cam 61 is formed, and the pin 62 engages the cam follower portion 62a with the cam 61 to form a rod 62 together with the rod 52. The main body 51 is accommodated in the tubular portion 55 by aligning the guide groove 60 with the guide groove 56. The locking portion 62b of the pin 62 penetrates an opening (not shown) connected to the cylindrical portion 55 and is engaged with the locking hole 58. Although the rod 52 housed in the main body 51 is about to be ejected from the main body by the spring 63, the locking portion 62b of the pin 62 is locked to the main body 51 and the cam follower portion 62b is engaged with the cam 61. Since they match, the state maintained by the positional relationship between the cam 61 and the cam follower portion 62a is maintained.

The relationship between the cam 61 and the cam follower portion 62a will be described below with reference to FIGS. The cam 61 is composed of a substantially heart-shaped groove around a substantially arrow-shaped column 61a in the center, and the grooves include a first groove 61b, a second groove 61c, a third groove 61d, and a third groove 61d. 4 grooves 61e. The first groove 61b has an upward slope from the first position (a) toward the second groove 61c, and the second groove 61c extends from the top of the first groove 61b to form the vertical wall F1. The third groove 61d is formed one step lower than the second groove 61c to form the vertical wall F2, and the fourth groove 61e is formed to be the third groove 61d to form the vertical wall F3. It is composed of a portion formed one step lower and an upslope portion toward the first groove, and the apex of this upslope portion is formed higher than the first groove 61b, and at the boundary with the first groove 61b. It forms a vertical wall F4. FIG. 12B shows the relationship between the heights of these grooves developed in a plane.

Since the rod 52 is biased by the spring 63 in the direction of being discharged from the main body 51, the cam 61 is always biased in the direction of arrow U in FIG. 12 (A). When the cam follower portion 62a is in the first position (a), the rod 52 is in the most discharged state from the main body 51. When the rod head 59 is pushed down against the spring 63 from this state, the cam 61 moves in the direction of arrow D, so that the cam follower portion 62a is guided from the first groove 61b toward the second groove 61c. . At this time, it passes through the fourth groove 61e portion, but does not enter the fourth groove 61e due to the presence of the vertical wall F4, and is reliably guided in the first groove 61b and reaches the second groove 61c.

When the cam follower portion 62a reaches the second groove 61c, the cam follower portion 62a reaches the second position (b) where it comes into contact with the arcuate vertical wall F5, and the cam 61 is prevented from moving any further. Next, when the pushing down force of the rod head 59 is removed, the cam 61 moves in the direction of the arrow U, but the cam follower portion 62a does not return to the first groove 61b due to the presence of the vertical wall F1, and the third Is guided toward the groove 61d. The third groove 61d has a V-shaped vertical wall F6 formed by the arrow-shaped pillar 61a, and the cam follower portion 62a is located at the third position (C) where the cam follower portion 62a enters the V-shaped vertical wall F6. As a result, the cam 61 is prevented from moving further. This third position (C) is stably maintained unless an external force acts. As a result, the rod 52 is maintained in the third position, which is slightly returned from the second position (b) in which the rod 52 is completely pushed into the main body.

Then, when the rod 52 is pushed in again, the cam follower portion 62a is guided to the fourth groove 61e without returning to the second groove 61c due to the existence of the second vertical wall F2, but the arc-shaped vertical wall F7 is formed. To the fourth position (d) where the cam 61 comes into contact with the cam 61, and the cam 61 is prevented from moving further. Next, when the pushing force of the rod head 59 is removed, the cam 61 moves in the direction of the arrow U, the cam follower portion 62a is guided by the fourth groove 61e, and enters the first groove 61b from the vertical wall F4. The first position (a) is reached, and as a result, the cam 61 is prevented from moving further. As a result, the rod 52 returns to the initial position.

Next, a method of using the storage container carrier according to the present invention will be described based on the second embodiment. As in the first embodiment, the storage container 1 is stored between the legs 15L and 15R, and then the foot pedal 26 is depressed. The operation of raising the elevating member 2 by depressing the foot pedal 26 is similar to that of the first embodiment, and therefore its explanation is omitted.

The relationship between the lock bar 27, the fixed lock member 36, and the position selection device 50 will be described below with reference to FIG. When the foot pedal 26 is stepped on from the state shown in FIG. 13A, the rotating plate 20 rotates clockwise about the shaft 22, and the connecting member 3 as well as the elevating member 2 retreat and rise. As a result, the pressing piece T attached to the connecting member 3 approaches the contact portion 53b of the release lever 53 and presses this after contact, so that the release lever 53 rotates clockwise around the shaft 54. Can be moved. By the clockwise rotation of the release lever 53, the release lever 53 comes into contact with the rod head 59 and pushes it down to the position shown in FIG. 13 (B). At this time, the lock bar 27 is disengaged from the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36, abuts on the curved portion 36a of the release lever 53, and the engagement recess 28 faces the lock portion 36a. Looking at this in the relationship between the cam 61 and the cam follower portion 62a in FIG. 12A, the cam follower portion 62a is in a state where it has reached the second position (b) from the first position (a). The state of the foot pedal 26 in FIG. 13 (B), which is the second position, is a state in which the foot pedal 26 is depressed to a position limited by a stopper (not shown) as in the first embodiment.

From the state shown in FIG. 13B, when the foot pedal 26 is stopped from being depressed and the foot pedal 26 is released, the foot pedal 26 is urged by the return spring 40 and the weight of the stacked storage containers 1 is increased. Then, it rotates counterclockwise in an attempt to return to the original position, but as in the first embodiment, the engaging recess 28 enters the locking portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36 during the returning process. Engagement with this prevents further return. This state is shown in FIG. 13 (C), which is a state in which the elevating member 2, that is, the storage container 1 is held in the raised position. Looking at this in the position selecting device, the cam 59 and the cam follower portion 62a are in a state where they have reached the third position (C) from the second position (B).

The operation of returning from the raised position of FIG. 13C to the original lowered position shown in FIG. 9 will be described below. When the foot pedal 26 is stepped on again from the state shown in FIG. 13C, the state shown in FIG. 13B is temporarily obtained. As for the position selecting device 50 at this time, the relationship between the cam 61 and the cam follower portion 62a is in the state of the fourth position (d). When the foot pedal 26 is returned to the state of FIG. 13 (A) by weakening the stepping force on the foot pedal 26 from the state of FIG. 13 (B), in the position selecting device 50, the cam follower 60a causes the cam 59 to move. In order to reach the first position (a) without blocking any movement of the rod 52, the rod 52 is lifted by the spring 63 (discharged from the main body 51), and the rod head 59 moves the release lever 53 around the shaft 54. Rotate and urge counterclockwise. As a result, the tip of the release lever 53 pushes up (rotates clockwise) the lock bar 27, so that the engagement recess 28 of the lock bar 27 does not face the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36 (FIG. 13D). The condition shown in is maintained. The return locus of the lock bar 27 moves upward while slightly rotating counterclockwise about the shaft 30, but since it remains in contact with the tip of the release lever 53, it is The lock portion 36a is not engaged and returns to the state of FIG. 13 (A). The lock bar 27 is separated from the tip of the release lever 53 and comes into contact with the upper surface of the lock portion 36a during the return trajectory.

To describe these operations in further detail, after the foot pedal 26 is stepped on from the position shown in FIG. 13 (C) to the position shown in FIG. 13 (B), when the stepping force is released, the relationship between the cam 61 and the cam follower portion 62a is shown. As can be seen, the cam follower portion 62a returns from the fourth position (d) to the first position (a) by the biasing force of the spring 63, so that when the stepping force is released. The release lever 53 is urged to rotate by the spring 63 and urges the lock bar 27 to rotate, so that the engaging recess 28 of the lock bar 27 immediately faces the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36. In this state, the two do not engage again during the return trajectory.

In particular, as in this embodiment, the release lever 53 is rotated about the shaft 54, and the distance between the shaft 54 and the tip of the curved portion 53a is determined from the distance between the shaft 54 and the contact portion 53b. By increasing the length, the amount of movement of the pressing piece T, that is, the amount of rotation of the bent portion 53a becomes large even with a slight amount of rotation of the contact portion 53b, so the engagement recess 2 of the lock bar 27 is formed. The position 8 is surely a position that does not face the lock portion 36a of the fixed lock member 36. When returning to the state of FIG. 13A, the elevating member 2 returns to the lowered position shown in FIG.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the storage container carrier of the present invention, since the projecting portion of the pachinko ball storage container is used and the lifting member of the carrier is used to directly lift the storage container, the stacked storage containers can be lifted from the floor. It is possible to obtain a storage container carrier that does not require the work of transhipment, eliminates the work in the middle waist, and has no spills of pachinko balls.

The operation member is configured to rotate about an axis, and the operation is performed by the foot. At the same time, the distance from the axis to the operation point (power point) of the foot is set so that the lifting member is pushed from the axis. By making the length longer than the point of action, the lever can be operated with a lighter operating force than the actual weight of the stacked pachinko ball storage containers. As a result, even a weak girl or an elderly person can easily operate.

By configuring the selection control mechanism by the release means arranged on the operation member and operated together with the operation member, there is an effect that the operation can be easily understood and the execution thereof is extremely easy.

In addition, since the selection operation member is configured to be operated by the operation member, the holding member holds the rising position of the lifting member and releases the held lifting position only by operating the operation member. Since it has been made possible, there is an effect that the operation can be easily understood and its execution is extremely easy.

The movement of the elevating means to return from the raised position to the lowered position is interlocked with the operation of the operation member, so that the above operation can be slowed down, and the storage container does not drop suddenly. It is possible to obtain a storage container carrier that does not spill pachinko balls even when descending.

A portion (power point) that receives the weight of the stacked pachinko ball storage containers (axis 21 in the embodiment) and a portion (point of action) to which this weight is transmitted (shaft 30 in the embodiment) are the axes. (22 in the embodiment) is arranged on a rotating mechanism, the distance (11) from the shaft to the point of action is longer than the distance (12) from the shaft to the force point, and the holding member is set to the point of action. By adopting a mechanism that includes, a holding member that can hold a lighter weight than the actual weight of the stacked pachinko ball storage containers can be obtained, and it is not necessary to make the holding member more robust than necessary, and the overall The weight can be reduced. In particular, since the holding state can be obtained by the structure in which the engagement concave portion abuts on the lock portion, the structure is extremely simple, the number of parts is reduced, and an inexpensive storage container carrier can be provided. On the contrary, since it is possible to operate with a lighter force (stepping force) than the force to lift the actual weight of the stacked pachinko ball storage containers, even weak girls and elderly people can operate it. It will be possible.

Since the lock bar, which is one of the components of the holding member, has different lengths of the two protrusions forming the engaging recess, there is some variation in design, processing, and manufacturing accuracy. Even if it does, the lock and the unlock are surely performed. Also,

By providing the notch portion and the excluding member of the guide plate, there is no inconvenience that the pachinko balls are caught in the guide plate portion, the opening and closing of the guide plate is hindered, and the storage container cannot be accommodated between the leg portions. Of course, the degree of opening and closing that the guide plate captures the storage container (to the extent that it can be closed by capturing the storage container) is within a range in which the space created by the notch and the elevating member is large enough to eject pachinko balls. It goes without saying that it is set.
