Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a lidded container having an openable / closable lid, and more particularly to a lidded container having a structure such that the lid can be detached from the container body, and each can be compactly stacked.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As examples of conventional lidded containers, those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are known (hereinafter, this lidded container is referred to as “conventional container”). FIG. 5 is a schematic side view of a conventional container with a part broken, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the broken part. A conventional container 100 is generally composed of a container body 102 having a rectangular upper end opening 101 and a lid 104 having one end attached to the container body 102 via a hinge 103 protruding in the lateral direction. A backup rib 105 extending downward is provided on the other end of the back surface of the lid body 104, and when the lid body 104 is closed, the backup rib 105 engages with a lid receiving rib 107 provided on the upper end of the side wall 106. The structure 108 is formed. In this engaging structure 108, the both move relative to each other, that is, the backup rib 105 engages with the lid receiving rib 107 and moves in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 6, or conversely, the lid receiving rib 107 (side wall 106). This is for preventing the lid 104 and the side wall 106 from being deformed when a load is applied to the lid 104 or the like by preventing the arrow from moving in the direction of the arrow B. Further, a lock member 109 is rotatably (rotatably) attached to the side wall 106 via a support piece 110, so that the lid body 104 can be locked to the container body 102 as shown in the figure.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Such conventional containers are generally made of synthetic resin and are manufactured in large quantities. Therefore, the problem is that bulky containers are bulky when they are stored in warehouses or displayed in stores, or when they are transported or stored in ordinary households. is there. In particular, when the conventional containers described above are stacked, the backup ribs 105 and the lock members 109 interfere with each other and become bulky in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. As shown by the chain double-dashed line (imaginary line), the bulkiness in the vertical direction can be reduced by stacking the lock members 109 in a tilted state, but this requires a space in the horizontal direction as much as they are tilted. So it does not solve the problem. The problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a container that can be stacked compactly so that the area occupied in a warehouse or a store can be made as small as possible and can be transported as much as possible at one time.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its specific configuration is as follows. That is, a container with a lid according to a first aspect of the present invention is a container main body having an upper end opening, one side wall and the other side wall facing each other with the upper end opening sandwiched therebetween, and the container main body on the upper side of the one side wall. A lid that is detachably (attached and detached) hinged to open and close with respect to the container body, and the other end of this lid that opposes the one end is locked to the other side wall. And a lock member provided on the outside of the other side wall. The greatest feature of this lidded container is on one side wall and the other side wall.

That is, one bent concave portion is formed on one side wall and the other bent concave portion is formed on the other side wall so as to protrude toward the upper end opening side, and the lid body is removed from the container body. One side wall and the other side wall of the other container body of the same form are staggered, that is, the other side wall (one side wall) of the other container body comes on one side wall (the other side wall) of this container body. In this way, when one container is stacked and stored, one of the other container bodies is formed with a bent recess so that the locking member arranged in the other bent recess of the container body can be housed. It is characterized in that the other bent concave portion of the other container body is formed so as to accommodate the concave portion.

Since the lock member is configured to be housed in the bent concave portion when stacked and housed as described above, the bulkiness in the vertical direction can be reduced by that much, and similarly, since it is not necessary to tilt it sideways, The space in the direction can also be reduced. It should be noted that in the present specification, the forms of "one bent concave portion" and "the other bent concave portion" may be any as long as they are within the scope of the above-mentioned purpose, and the number of these is not limited to that of a lock member or the like. The number may be one or two or more according to the number. The term “bent” here means that, when a concave portion is formed on the front side of the side wall, a convex portion is formed on the upper end opening side accordingly. Further, in the present specification, "capable of accommodating a lock member" means that the container is stacked and accommodated, that is, when the other container main body is not simply stacked on the container main body but the other is stored in the former storage unit. This means that when at least a part of the lock member is stored, part or all of the lock member can be stored. The "lock member" includes all that can be adopted by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.

The container with a lid according to the invention described in claim 2 basically has the same configuration as that described in claim 1, and within the range, the same operational effect is obtained. . Also, the interpretation of words and phrases is basically the same. The main feature of this lidded container is mainly in the lid. That is, it is characterized in that an engaging structure for preventing relative movement between the reinforcing ribs provided on the back surface of the lid of the container body and the upper end of the other side wall is formed.

When a reinforcing rib for reinforcing or thinning is provided on the back surface of the lid, it is used to prevent relative movement between the reinforcing rib and the upper end of the other side wall. This is the greatest feature of the device. The “relative movement” is as described in the section of the conventional art, and the action and effect are also the same. The difference is that the reinforcing rib replaces the back-up in the conventional container. It should be noted that the "engaging structure" in the present specification may be any as long as it can prevent the relative movement described above. As such, for example, a recess is provided in the reinforcing rib. Some of them have a convex portion on the upper end of the side wall, or, conversely, a convex portion on the former and a concave portion on the latter.

The lidded container according to the invention described in claim 3 basically has the same configuration as that described in claim 2, and within the range, the same operational effect is obtained. The same applies to the interpretation of words and phrases. The most important feature of this lidded container is its hinge structure. That is, this hinge structure is composed of a hinge projection piece extending downward from one end of the back surface of the lid and a support portion provided in one bent concave portion of the container main body, and another lid body is provided on the lid body. It is characterized in that the lid body is provided with a slit for accommodating the hinge protrusion of the other lid body when the single bodies are stacked.

By providing the hinge protrusion in this manner, the space in the lateral direction can be reduced by the amount of the hinge protruding in the lateral direction of the side wall in the conventional container. Furthermore, when the other lid bodies are stacked on the lid body, the hinge protrusions can be stored in the slits, so that the hinge protrusions do not hinder the stacking. The "slit" in the present specification may be any as long as it can accommodate the hinge projecting portion that interferes when the lids are overlaid, such as the shape, number, and size. Is determined according to this hinge protrusion.
