[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a preferred first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The storage box device of the soil block of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “storage box device”) stores a soil block (semi-solidified soil for growing plant seedlings) inside as shown in FIG. It is a storage box device to protect by

FIGS. 1 to 8 show a storage box device 10 according to the present embodiment. The storage box device 10 has a gripping piece integrally provided on an upper part of a box body 12 for storing a soil block B therein. It is a paper assembly box container. As shown in the figure, the storage box device 10 includes a three-dimensional polygonal box-shaped box body 12 having an upper surface 14 opened by a peripheral side wall 18 and a bottom wall 16.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom wall 16 of the box 12 is formed in a substantially square shape in plan view. A peripheral side wall 18 is bent from four sides of the bottom wall 16 and stands up to form a three-dimensional square box-shaped box body 12 having an opening 14 on the upper surface. More specifically, the area of the top opening 14 of the box 12 is formed slightly smaller than the area of the bottom wall 16. In the present embodiment, the opening 14 is formed slightly smaller in a substantially square shape similar to the bottom wall 16 and is opened directly above the bottom wall 16. The internal space of the three-dimensional square weak trapezoidal box-shaped box body 12 whose upper surface is opened is formed as a storage space for the soil block B. The paper, which is the material of the box 12, has a waterproof property on the inner surface of the box.

As shown in FIG. 3, the peripheral side wall 18 is formed in a trapezoid whose upper side 22 is slightly shorter than the lower side 24, and the peripheral side wall 18 is erected with an inclination θ slightly inside the vertical side. At this time, the box body 12 is assembled with a weak taper that becomes slightly smaller as going upward. The peripheral side walls 18 are formed so that they can be connected to each other by a bonding margin 20 so that the box body 12 can be assembled with the soil block B arranged on the upper surface of the bottom wall 16. Then, the peripheral wall 18 is erected from a state in which the soil block B, whose bottom is formed in a cube having substantially the same size as the bottom wall 18, is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom wall 16, and the box body 12 is assembled.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the soil block B is housed in a three-dimensional square weak trapezoidal box 12 whose opening side is narrowed in a fitted state without any gap. Due to this fitting, even if the storage box device 10 is rolled over as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the soil block B is hard to roll out from the opening 14, and the soil block is collapsed only by the storage box device 10 being rolled over. Has been prevented. In order to take out the soil block B from the storage box device 10, the sticking allowance 20 may be peeled off and the peripheral side wall 18 may be unfolded or torn.

The box body 12 is not limited to a three-dimensional square box shape as in the present embodiment, but may be appropriately formed into a three-dimensional polygonal box shape such as a long square, hexagon, or octagon. Is also good. Further, the assembling configuration of the box is not limited to the present embodiment, and various widely-assembled and deployable paper container configurations that are already widely implemented may be appropriately employed. The material of the box is preferably paper in terms of cost, disposability, etc., but it should be formed by cutting and bending a slightly stiff vinyl resin sheet so that it can be used several times. You can.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a large number of storage box devices 10 are closely packed and stored in a large box 100 to be provided on the market or distributed. Since the boxes 12 of the present embodiment are in the shape of a three-dimensional square box, the respective boxes 12 are densely arranged to improve the space efficiency. As a result, it is difficult to pick up one storage box device 10 by pointing a finger or the like into the gap of the storage box device 10. At the upper end side of the peripheral side walls 18a, 18a, gripping pieces 26 protruding upward extend from the peripheral side walls 18s, 18a.

That is, a pair of opposed peripheral side walls 18 a, 18 a of the four peripheral side walls 18 of the box body 12 are partially protruded upward in a central portion of the upper side 22 as a rectangular protruding piece. The projecting piece functions as a gripping piece 26 projecting above the upper ends of the other pair of peripheral side walls 18b, 18b.

7 and 8, the boxes 12 of the present embodiment are alternately arranged by changing the direction by 90 degrees, and the peripheral wall 18a of one box 12 and the peripheral wall 18b of the adjacent box 12 are connected to each other. Are arranged to face each other. As a result, one box 12 is in a state in which the gripping pieces 26, 26 protrude above the peripheral side wall 18b of the other adjacent box 12, so that the gripping pieces 26, 26 are gripped. Only the intended storage box device 10 can be easily lifted.

Here, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The storage box device 10 assembled with the soil blocks B arranged therein is packed in a large number of boxes 100 in parallel, transported, and displayed at a store. During these operations, there is a high risk of one storage box device 10 being placed alone, and there is a high risk of being overturned. However, even if the storage box device of the present embodiment is overturned, the opening 14 is located closer to the soil block B. The small opening prevents the soil block from moving out and collapsing.

In the storage box device 10 of the present embodiment, one storage box device is lifted from the storage box devices closely arranged by pinching the gripping pieces 26 provided on the upper portion of the box body 12. It is possible to pick up the target seedling quickly in the sorting process before shipment or when the purchaser selects the seedling at the store, and at this time there is also the necessity of overturning other storage box devices Has been reduced.

In the present embodiment, the holding piece 26 is projected from the upper end side of the three-dimensional trapezoidal box body 12 in which the area of the top opening 14 is slightly smaller than the area of the bottom wall 16. Even with a storage box device having a mere three-dimensional trapezoidal box that does not protrude, the effect of preventing the soil block from moving out when it falls down can be achieved. Also, for example, a storage box device which is formed in a vertical inverted trapezoidal box shape or the like and whose upper surface opening is formed with a holding piece 26 on the upper end side of an unconstrained box body, can be a suitable one from a closely adjacent storage box device. This has the effect that the picking up is easy and quick.

In the present embodiment, the gripping pieces 26, 26 are arranged in the middle of the upper side 22 on both the peripheral side walls 18a, 18a. However, the width direction of the peripheral side walls 18a, 18a as in the storage box device 10 shown in FIG. May be shifted. Since the holding pieces 26 of the storage box device 10 are arranged so as to face diagonally, as shown in the figure, a large number of boxes 12 are arranged adjacent to each other in the same direction, and the peripheral side walls 18a face each other. Also, the gripping piece 26 of the adjacent box 12 does not overlap with the one gripping piece 26. Since the holding pieces 26 are displaced without overlapping, the required holding pieces can be easily held, and only the target storage box device 10 can be instantly lifted. Of course, even if the directions of the boxes 12 are alternately changed, the appropriate gripping pieces 26 can be easily picked, so that they may be arranged at random without concern for the directions of the boxes 12.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. The same members as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be given. Omitted. Also in the present embodiment, the storage box device 10 is a storage device for a soil block in which a soil block is stored. This is the same as the first embodiment in that the box 12 is formed of paper that can be assembled with the soil block B disposed.

In the storage box device 10 of the present embodiment, when the other box body 12 is arranged adjacent to the upper end side of the pair of peripheral side walls 18 b, 18 b facing the box body 12, A notch 30 is provided on the upper end side of the peripheral side walls 18a of the box body 12 so that the grip portion 28 appears. The four peripheral side walls 18 of the present embodiment are formed in a weak trapezoidal shape whose height is higher than the peripheral side walls of the first embodiment. The peripheral side walls 18b, 18b facing each other among the peripheral side walls 18 are each provided with a semicircular notch 30 so as to cut down a central portion of the upper side 22 in an arc shape. That is, the pair of peripheral side walls 18b opposed to each other is formed in a partially notched trapezoid having an upper side cut out.

As shown in FIG. 10, when a large number of storage box devices 10 are arranged adjacent to each other alternately by changing the direction of the boxes 12 by 90 degrees, the upper part of the peripheral side wall 18 a of the target storage box device 10 Thus, the portion facing the cutout 30 of the adjacent storage box device 10 appears as the grip portion 28 that can be easily gripped.

FIG. 11 shows the position of the notch 30 facing one box 12 in the storage box device 10 of the present embodiment, and the position of the notch 30 when the other box 12 is placed adjacent to the box 12. Another embodiment is shown in which the gripping portion 28 is shifted in the width direction of the peripheral side wall 18b so as not to overlap with the one gripping portion 28.

In this storage box device 10, since the notches 30 are obliquely opposed at the upper end side of the box 12, even if a number of the boxes 12 are adjacent to each other without changing their directions, each of the boxes 12 An uncut portion on the upper end side of the peripheral wall 18b appears as a gripping portion 28 which faces diagonally, so that only the target storage box device 10 can be easily lifted.

Also in the second embodiment, the upper surface opening 14 of the storage box device 10 is formed slightly smaller than the bottom wall 16, so that the soil block moves out when the vehicle rolls over in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Collapse is prevented. Further, by holding the holding portion 28 that has emerged by the notch 30 of the adjacent storage box device 10, one storage box device 10 can be instantaneously and easily selected from a large number of storage box devices 10 closely adjacent to each other. Can be lifted.
