To provide multiple containers arranged side by side.

  Further, the invention according to claim 3 is the container according to claim 1 or 2, wherein both the vertical and horizontal dimensions are longer than the depth of the lower container, and usually between the bottom of the lower container and the lower packing. A pair of insoles being laid, and when one end in the longitudinal direction is supported by the bottom of the lower container in a state along the side wall of the lower container, the other end supports the ceiling of the upper container. To set the volume of the storage chamber to the maximum volume, and further, when one end in the short direction is supported by the bottom of the lower container, the other end supports the ceiling of the upper container to reduce the volume of the storage chamber. An object is to provide a container with a pair of insoles formed to have an intermediate volume.

  That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the immersion of the contents is promoted by the slit provided in at least one of the pair of packings. For this reason, the lower packing and the upper packing are respectively arranged on the bottom side of the lower container and the ceiling side of the upper container, and the upper container is placed on the lower container from the upper side with the contents placed on the lower packing. And applying a downward force evenly to the ceiling of the upper container, the upper packing, the contents, the lower packing, and the bottom of the lower container, the upper surface of the lower packing and the lower surface of the upper packing The contents are immersed in at least one of them and are wrapped in recesses resulting from the immersion. Therefore, when the upper container is fixed to the lower container by the fixing means while maintaining this state, the contents are elastically held on the concave surface of the concave portion. The “slit” refers to a cut having a predetermined depth provided on at least one of the facing surfaces of the pair of upper and lower packings, and does not include a long hole.

  According to the invention of claim 2, a plurality of protrusions are arranged in parallel on at least one of the pair of packings over the entire surface to promote the immersion of the contents. For this reason, the lower packing and the upper packing are respectively disposed on the bottom plate side of the lower container and the ceiling of the upper container, and the upper container is placed on the lower container from the upper side with the contents placed on the lower packing. When fitted, the ceiling of the upper container, the upper packing, the contents, the lower packing, and applying a pressing force evenly to the bottom of the lower container, the contents shrink downwardly of the protruding portion and enter, As a result of the immersion, it is wrapped in the recess formed. Therefore, when the upper container is fixed to the lower container by the fixing means while maintaining this state, the contents are located on the concave surface of the concave portion, specifically, on the upper surface of the contracted protruding portion and the outer side of the contracted protruding portion.

Can be packed. In addition, since the contents are only elastically shaken inside the container body against the vibration and the impact, the damage to the contents due to the vibration and the impact force is prevented. For this reason, the quality of transportation can be significantly improved.
(2) The invention according to claim 3 adjusts the volume of the container body to three stages of large, medium and small so that various contents can be transported. This is a device that can achieve a truly great effect of being able to handle transportation.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a container according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the container body 1 is composed of a lower container 2 and an upper container 3, and the lower container 2 is formed in a box shape that opens upward to accommodate the contents 8 from above, and the upper container 3 When fitted into the lower container 2 from above, it is formed in a box shape that opens downward to divide a storage chamber that stores the contents 8. In the present embodiment, the two assembled resin plates are previously assembled by riveting the overlapping portion while bending and assembling the resin plates. In this case, the pair of side walls 3b, 3b of the upper container 3 and the pair of side walls 2b, 2b of the lower container 2 are each assembled so as to be double, and the remaining side walls 3c, 3c, 2c, 2c are united, and When the two side walls 2b, 2b of the lower container 2 are fitted along the single side walls 3c, 3c of the upper container 3, all the side walls of the container body 1 are overlapped in a triple manner. Of course, the lower container 2 and the upper container 3 may be integrally formed by resin molding, and as a result, the riveting may be omitted. However, when light weight and high strength are required, a large number of A resin plate having a hollow structure reinforced by providing ribs is used. For a special use, a light metal plate having high corrosion resistance and strength, such as aluminum or duralumin, is used.

  A pair of hanging portions 2d, 2d are attached to the outer surfaces of the pair of side walls 2c, 2c of the lower container 2 for transportation and handling, and the lower container 2 is mounted on the outer surfaces of the other pair of side walls 2b, 2b. A pair of tying belts 2e, 2e are attached as securing means for securing the upper container 3 without looseness. A buckle 2f is attached to one of the pair of binding belts 2e, 2e, and a tongue 2g that is detachable from the buckle 2f is attached to the other, so that the pair of binding belts 2e, 2e can be connected with one touch. And a length adjusting ring 2h for adjusting the belt length in accordance with the degree of fitting of the upper container 3 to the lower container 2 is attached to at least one of the binding belts 2e, 2e.

  In order to prevent the contents 8 from being damaged, a lower packing 5 is disposed below the contents 8 and an upper packing 6 is disposed above the contents 8 in order to prevent the contents 8 from being damaged. Is arranged. The lower gasket 5 and the upper gasket 6 elastically support the contents 8 and buffer external force. Therefore, a sponge foam of rubber or resin, for example, a sponge foam of polypropylene, a polypropylene resin, or urethane, respectively. Formed from the body. The lower packing 5 is formed in a block shape that covers substantially the entire bottom 2i of the lower container 2 except for a fitting allowance for fitting the side walls 3b, 3b, 3c, 3c of the upper container 3. 6 is also formed in a block shape that covers almost the entire surface of the ceiling 3i of the upper container 3 except for a fitting margin for fitting the side walls 2b, 2b, 2c, 2c of the lower container 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the slits S1, S1,... Of the lower packing 5 divide the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 into a lattice shape, and the slits S2, S2,. 6a are divided into a lattice shape, and as a result of the division, protrusions 5c, 5c,..., 6c, 6c,. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), as a result of the contraction of the protruding portions 5c, 5c,..., 6c, 6c,. In addition, concave portions X and Y corresponding to the size and shape of the contents 8 are formed in the upper surface 6a of the upper packing 6, and the contents 8 are elastically supported in these concave portions X and Y. Of course, the thickness from the bottom of the slits S1, S1,... To the lower surface of the lower packing 5 and the thickness from the bottom of the slits S2, S2,. Is set in accordance with the maximum impact force from the outside and the maximum weight of the contents 8 to be accommodated inside so as to be able to sufficiently absorb the shock.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the display as the contents 8 is placed downward on the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5, and pressed down while fitting the upper container 3 to the lower container 2. In a state in which the pair of binding belts 2e, 2e are connected by the engagement of the buckle 2f of one binding belt 2e and the tongue 2g of the other binding belt 2e, the contents 8 are eventually placed on the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5. The concave portion X formed and the concave portion Y formed on the lower surface portion 6a of the upper packing 6 are elastically held. For this reason, when an impact force is applied to the container body 1 from outside during transportation, the impact force and the vibration caused by the impact force are caused by the elastic contraction of the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 inside the container body 1. And the contents 8 are shaken inside the container body 1 while being held in the upper and lower recesses X and Y, which results in energy consumption due to the shake, and the air contained in the many holes of the foamed resin. Due to the consumption of energy by the compression, the vibration and impact force on the contents 8 are buffered. Therefore, the contents 8 are protected without damage. In packing, the contents 8 are placed on the upper surface of the lower packing 5, the upper packing 6 is placed on the upper surface of the contents 8, and then the upper container 3 is fitted to the lower container 2. 3 can be completed simply by engaging the buckle 2f of one binding belt 2e and the tongue 2g of the other binding belt 2e while pushing down, so that packing quality and reliability during transportation can be improved. Can be greatly improved.

  The elastic coefficients of the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 are determined such that when the contents 8 immersed in the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the upper surface 6a of the upper packing 6 are taken out, they gradually return. When the upper packing 6 and the lower packing 5 are immersed in the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the lower surface 6a of the upper packing 6, the frictional force of the upper packing 6 and the lower packing 5 maintains the immersion of the contents 8. It is determined to the extent to be done.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B show a method of storing a portable computer 9 called a notebook type, a book type, or a laptop type as the contents 8 when the contents are transported by the container body 1. . As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the portable computers 9, 9,... Are buried in the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the upper surface 6a of the upper packing 6 with the liquid crystal display facing upward, and are transported. In such a planar layout, the number of units to be collectively conveyed is limited. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the portable computer 9 is immersed in the upper surface portion 5a of the lower packing 5 and the upper surface portion 6a of the upper packing 5 in a state where the portable computer 9 stands upright. Are arranged side by side at intervals on the upper surface 6a of the upper packing 5. As a result, the contact portions of the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the lower surface 6a of the upper packing 6 with the portable computers 9, 9,... Are formed on the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the lower surface 6a of the upper packing 6. Since the upper part 5a of the lower packing 5 and the lower part 6a of the upper packing 6 which are not immersed resiliently support the respective computers 9, 9,. Are protected from vibration and impact as in the case of packing in a horizontal state ((FIG. 3 (a)). Therefore, the packing state of the contents 8 can be changed, and By utilizing, a large number of contents 8 can be transported at one time, and the transportation efficiency of transported goods in physical distribution can be improved.

  When the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 are attached, they may be attached directly to the bottom 2i of the lower container 2, the ceiling 3i of the upper container 3, or via Velcro (registered trademark) (not shown). Although it is possible, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it may be arranged directly on a plywood or a lightweight resin plate 10 by using a magic tape (fastener). In that case, the overall strength of the container main body 1 is improved, the fitting property of the upper container 3 to the lower container 2 is improved, and the bias of the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 with respect to the container main body 1 is also prevented. it can. In this case, if a veneer plate is used as the plate 10, the surface of the veneer plate is rough, and the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 are soft, and the surface has a large number of holes formed by foaming over the entire surface. Simply placing the lower packing 5 on the plate 10 and placing the plywood on the upper packing 6 results in the lower packing 5 biting the upper plywood and the upper packing 6 biting the lower plywood. For this reason, the lower packing 5 is attached to the lower plywood, and the upper packing 6 is attached to the upper plywood by the frictional force and biting generated between the lower plywood and the lower packing 5 and between the upper plywood and the upper packing 6. It is held without detaching and moving. Therefore, as described above, in a state where the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 are pressed against the contents 8 for packing, the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 do not move, and exhibit an original cushioning action. Therefore, when a veneer plate is used as the plate 10, bonding with a fastener or an adhesive is not particularly necessary, but, just in case, bonding with a fastener or an adhesive is not hindered. Also, the slits S1, S1,... Of the lower packing 5 and the slits S2, S2,. .., 6c, 6c,... After the contents 8 are taken out, a grid, as shown in FIG. The upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the protrusions 5c, 5c,..., 6c, 6c,... Of the lower surface 6a of the upper packing 6 may be formed into a column or an elliptic column. Of course, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the protrusions 5c, 5c,..., 6c, 6c,. In order to promote, a plurality are arranged in parallel over the entire surface, but the shape is not limited to a column or an elliptical column, but is entirely corrugated with respect to the upper surface of the lower packing 5 and the lower surface of the packing of the upper packing 6. You may shape | mold so that it may protrude. Therefore, also in this case, the respective portions 5c, 5c, ..., 6c, 6c, ... form the concave portions X and the concave portions Y while regulating the movement of the contents 8 in the front-rear and left-right directions. The impact force applied to the main body 1 is buffered, and the contents 8 are protected.

  Also, in the present embodiment, the protrusions 5c, 5c,... On the upper surface 5a of the lower packing 5 and the upper surface 6a of the upper packing 6 by the slits S1, S1,. , 6c, 6c,..., But the lower packing corresponding to the maximum external impact force and the maximum weight of the contents to be accommodated inside so that the impact force against the contents 8 can be sufficiently buffered. , 6c, 6c,... Are integrally formed on the upper surface of the lower packing 5 and the lower surface of the upper packing 6. By forming, the same operation and effect as those of the above-described embodiment may be obtained.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, both the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 are provided with protrusions 5c, 5c, ..., 6c, 6c, ... for promoting the immersion of the contents 8, respectively. However, it may be provided on one side. In this case, the height of the protruding portion of one of the packings is set to a maximum impact force from the outside and a height corresponding to the maximum weight of the contents to be accommodated inside so that the impact force on the contents 8 can be sufficiently buffered. The height of the projecting portion of the other packing is set such that when the upper container 3 is fitted to the lower container 2 in a state where the contents 8 are not accommodated, one and the other packing come into contact with each other with appropriate pressure. Is set to the desired height.

  Further, in order to adjust the volume of the container body 1 to three stages of large, medium and small in accordance with the size of various contents, as shown in FIG. And In this case, the support plates 12, 12 are laid as an insole between the bottom 2i of the lower container 2 and the lower packing 5, and have different vertical and horizontal lengths. It is longer than the depth of the lower container 2. For this reason, in a normal state in which the support plates 12 and 12 are laid on the bottom 2 i of the lower container 2, the volume of the container body 1 is such that the side walls 3 b, 3 b, 3 c and 3 c of the upper container 3 correspond to the bottom 2 i of the lower container 2. It is the smallest volume in contact. In addition, the pair of support plates 12, 12 are brought into contact with the bottom surface 2 i of the lower container 2 in the longitudinal direction, and the pair of support plates 12 are arranged along the side walls 3 b, 3 b, 3 c, 3 c of the lower container 2. In a state where the ceiling 3i of the upper container 3 is supported on the other ends in the longitudinal direction of the container 12, the volume of the container body 1 is the maximum. Further, the pair of support plates 12, 12 are brought into contact with the bottom surface 2 i of the lower container 2 in the short-side direction and along the side walls 2 b, 2 b, 2 c, 2 c of the lower container 2. In a state where the ceiling 3i of the upper container 3 is supported at the other end in the short direction of 12, 12, the volume of the container body 1 is an intermediate volume. Therefore, if the heights of the lower packing 5 and the upper packing 6 are determined based on the change in the volume by the pair of support plates 12, 12, the contents 8 are not damaged in the large, medium, and small volumes. Can be transported.
