Description

  This invention relates to a newspaper delivery box.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when delivering a newspaper, the newspaper is loaded on a loading platform of a delivery vehicle such as a bicycle or a motorcycle. As a method of loading newspaper on the loading platform, a large amount of newspaper is folded into a sheet in a bent state so that delivery can be performed quickly and reliably, and is bound to the loading platform by being bound with a rubber string from the outside. There is a way. According to this method, since the newspaper is bent in a curved shape in advance, it is possible to take out the newspaper from the sheet and quickly deliver it as it is. However, if the newspaper is simply wrapped in a sheet, the load may collapse due to an impact or the like during operation of the delivery vehicle. Also, if the number of newspaper copies decreases due to delivery, the fixed string will loosen and the newspaper will fall from the platform of the delivery vehicle, or if it suddenly rains, the newspaper will get wet or dirty. There was an easy dislike.

  On the other hand, it has also been proposed to deliver newspapers in a bag with a bag for containing newspapers (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For example, the basket with a bag is provided with an upper side facing the bottom of the cage, and an opening through which a stored article can be taken in and out on a side surface that forms the periphery of the cage body, and the bag is mounted inside the basket. In addition to the cage, an opening is provided on the upper side and the side to allow the stored articles to be taken in and out, and a top is provided with a crown lid. The crown lid is provided with a lid capable of closing the side opening, thereby delivering a motorcycle or the like. It is intended to be installed in a vehicle.

  According to the basket with a bag, since an opening through which a stored article can be taken in and out is provided in the upper part of the basket body, two folded newspapers having a size of about 405 × 270 mm are accommodated as they are stacked. be able to. Also, when delivering with a delivery vehicle, the upper part is equipped with a crown lid so that the newspaper is securely stored without popping out, and even if it suddenly rains, the newspaper will get wet. It can be prevented as much as possible.

However, in general, this type of basket with a bag is very complicated because a lid for closing the side opening must be opened every time the newspaper stored in the bag is taken out. . In addition, since newspapers are usually inserted and distributed from the opening of the newspaper receiver of the delivery destination, the newspapers must be folded in a curved shape on the spot, which is extremely troublesome and space for folding newspapers. It is difficult to work because it cannot take enough. On the other hand, the newspapers loaded on sheets and baskets as described above on the loading platform of the delivery vehicle tilt the loading platform every time the vehicle is stopped. Therefore, a newspaper delivery box that has good workability and can perform newspaper delivery quickly and reliably is desired.

An accommodation space 26 is provided. The delivery newspaper 50 is taken out from the opening 26 and inserted into the opening of a delivery destination newspaper receptacle or the like as it is, so that the delivery newspaper 50 is bent and bent and stored in the storage space 26 as curved newspaper 55. The

  Therefore, as compared with the conventional case of flatly stacking two folded newspapers as described above, the width of the opening 25 can be reduced, the curved newspaper 55 in the accommodation space 26 is difficult to get wet, and the box body 20 is It can be made compact. Further, when the newspaper newspaper 55 is inserted into the accommodating space 26 as the curved newspaper 55, the frictional resistance between the inner surface of the box body 20 and the curved newspaper 55 increases, so that the newspaper 55 is unlikely to fall from the opening 25. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the size of the box body 20 is approximately 700 mm in height, 250 mm in width, and 470 mm in depth, and the size of the box body is appropriately adjusted so that the curved newspaper 55 can be easily taken in and out. Is done.

  First, the box body 20 is disposed on the upper side of the base plate 11 in the vertical state shown in FIG. Friction resistance between the top surface of the base plate 11 and the bottom surface of the box body 20 which increases with the weight of the curved newsprint 55 accommodated in the box body 20 and the storage space 26, the front plate 13 as a stopper, and the guide portions 12, 12. Thus, the box body 20 is stably and reliably disposed on the base plate 11.

  Next, as understood from FIG. 2, the upper surface 23 of the box body 20 is held via the inclined portion 15 so as to be inclined rearward to become the rear upper portion 29. The inclined portion 15 is not particularly limited, and a removable inclined portion is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, the inclined portion 15 includes a plate member 16 attached to the base plate 11 as shown in FIG. The plate member 16 may be configured to be movable in a rearward horizontal state. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the plate member 16 is hinged to the base plate 11 via a hinge 45 in the vicinity of the central portion thereof to be in the horizontal rear state. On the other hand, when the plate member 16 is in the vertical state as the inclined portion 15 shown in FIG. 2, the hooking member 46 provided on the base plate 11 is hooked on the hole portion of the hook 47 and engaged.

  Although not shown, even when the plate member 16 is moved to the rear horizontal state in FIG. 1, a holding portion such as an L-shaped angle is provided on the base plate 11 and the plate member 16 is placed. Good. As described above, when the inclined portion 15 is attached to the base plate 11 as the plate member 16, an extra working space for placing the delivery newspaper 50 to work is secured for the plate member 16. Can do. Therefore, the delivery newspaper 50 can be temporarily stacked on the base member 11 and the plate member 16 in a state where the delivery newspaper 50 is folded in two, and the curved newsprint 55 is folded in a curved shape on the spot to form the curved newsprint 55. Therefore, the work is extremely easy and the work efficiency is remarkably improved.

  A sliding part 40 may be formed on the rear bottom 24a of the box body 20 so that the position of the box body 20 can be easily moved. Although not shown, the rear bottom portion of the box body may be formed in a curved shape as the sliding portion 40, or a wheel 41 such as a so-called caster may be configured as in the embodiment of FIG. In the embodiment, the wheel 41 is provided with a groove (not shown) in the base plate 11 so that no extra load is applied and stability can be secured when the box body 20 is tilted. It is formed so as to be fitted in the groove.

  By the way, as described above, the loading platform D of the delivery vehicle M is in a horizontal state with respect to the ground GL in the traveling state as shown in FIG. 3, but the delivery vehicle M is stopped as shown in FIG. Is supported by the stand S, the loading platform D is tilted together with the delivery vehicle M. When delivering a newspaper, it is necessary to stop the vehicle M after moving to a destination. By tilting the loading platform D many times, the newspapers loaded on the loading platform are more likely to slide down. Therefore, in the embodiment, as understood from FIG. 2, the height H1 of the base plate 11 is formed higher than the height H2, and the opening side portion 21 of the box body 20 is opposite to the opposite side. It is comprised so that it may be hold | maintained higher than the side part 22. The height H1 and the height H2 of the base plate 11 are determined in consideration of the inclination of the loading platform D when the delivery vehicle M stops as described below, as shown in FIG. Sometimes, the box body 20 is appropriately adjusted so that it can be held substantially horizontally with respect to the ground.

  If comprised in this way, when the delivery vehicle M is a driving | running | working state as FIG. 3 shows, since the opening side part 21 of the box main body 20 is hold | maintained high, it will curve from the opening part 25 at the time of driving | running | working. The newspaper 55 is difficult to fall. On the other hand, as can be understood from FIG. 4, when the delivery vehicle M is stopped, the delivery vehicle M and the loading platform D are inclined to the left in the figure, but the box body 20 is held horizontally with respect to the ground GL. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the curved newspaper in the accommodation space 26 from falling from the opening 25 (see FIG. 2). Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a series of operations for folding the delivery newspaper 50 in a curved shape to form the curved newspaper 55 from the opening 25 of the box body 20 into the accommodation space 26 is very easy. It is easy to take out the curved newsprint 55 from the opening 25.

  In addition, as can be understood from FIGS. 2 and 5, in the embodiment, the inner side portion 27 which is the lower side of the box body 20 is engaged with the lower edge portion 58 of the bent newspaper 55 in parallel from the bottom portion 24. A plurality of claw portions 35 are projected. For this reason, the curved newsprint 55 is easily maintained in a curved state in the accommodation space 26, and furthermore, since a plurality of claw portions 35 are formed, the lower edge portion 58 of the curved newsprint 55 is disengaged from the one claw portion 35. However, it can be engaged by the other claw portion 35. In particular, when the newspaper is thin, such as in an evening edition, or when the number of curved newspapers 55 is reduced as delivered, the curved newspaper 55 can be freely moved in the accommodation space 26 even if it receives an impact during delivery. It is hard to move and fall apart, or to bend the corners of the newspaper. The claw portions 35 may be formed in any manner. In the embodiment, a plurality of claw portions 35 are provided in parallel, and three rows are provided on the inner surface portion 27.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, a plurality of flap portions 36 that engage with the upper edge portion 57 of the bent newspaper 55 in parallel with the bottom portion 24 protrude from the inner surface portion 28 that is the upper side when the box body 20 is inclined. Established. The flap portion 36 is made of a plate member in the embodiment, and is attached to the inner surface portion 28 via an attachment member 37 such as a hinge. When the box body 20 is in the vertical state as shown in FIG. 1, the flap space 36 is secured by its own weight so that the storage space 26 is sufficiently secured and does not interfere with the storage of the newspaper 55. It is formed so as to be in a vertical state along the inside 28. When the box body 20 is inclined as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the flap portion 36 projects from the inner surface portion 28 of the box body 20 due to its own weight and the upper edge 57 of the curved newspaper 55 abutting. Configured to be installed. The protruding state of each flap portion 36 may differ depending on the number of curved newspapers 55 in the accommodation space 26 as shown in the figure. By such a flap portion 36, the curved newspaper 55 can be more reliably held in the box body 20.

  As another example of the box body 20 described above, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the thickness of the newspaper is thin or the number of copies of the delivery newspaper is small, the width direction of the accommodation space 67 ( A cutting plate 69 whose size can be freely adjusted in the direction of arrow L) may be provided. The partition plate 69 is formed by guide members 63 and 63 and guide members 64 and 64 provided on the upper inner surface portion 61 and the lower inner surface portion 62 when the box body 60 is in a vertical state as shown in the drawing, respectively. It is formed to be detachable with respect to the box body 60 along the concave groove 65 and the lower concave groove 66. Since the width of the accommodation space 67 is adjustable in the box body 60, the curved newspaper 55 can be easily maintained in a bent state, and can be easily taken out during delivery.

  Next, a method for delivering newspapers using the newspaper delivery box 10 of this embodiment will be described. First, in the newspaper delivery box 10, as shown in FIG. 1, the plate member 16 attached to the base plate 11 is placed in the rear horizontal state and folded in two on the upper side of the base plate 11 and the plate member 16. A space where the newspapers 50 can be stacked is secured. Then, the delivery newspaper 50 is bent into a curved shape on the spot and inserted into the box body 20 through the opening 25, and the curved newspaper 55 is stacked in the accommodation space 26. When all the delivery newspapers 50 are accommodated as the curved newsprints 55 in the accommodation space 26, the plate member 16 is moved to stand upright so as to be perpendicular to the base plate 11 as the inclined portion 15 (FIG. 2). Then, as can be understood from FIG. 2, the box body 20 is inclined using the wheels 41 provided on the rear bottom portion 26 so that the box upper portion 23 becomes the rear upper portion 29.

  When the curved newsprint 55 is stacked in the accommodation space 26 in the box main body 20 as described above, it is easier to work when the box main body 20 is perpendicular to the base plate 11 as shown in FIG. If the delivery vehicle is driven in a state, the position of the center of gravity becomes high and becomes unstable and dangerous. In this device, since the box body 20 is inclined as shown in FIG. 2, the position of the center of gravity is lowered, and even when a large amount of curved newspaper 55 is accommodated, the delivery vehicle is highly stable and extremely safe. When the delivery vehicle M is stopped at the time of delivery and the curved newsprint 55 is taken out from the opening 25, the box body 20 is inclined and is at a relatively low position. Easy to pick up and deliver quickly. After the delivery is completed, if the box body 20 is returned to the vertical state with respect to the base plate 11, it can be stored compactly without taking up extra space.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes those that can be implemented in a mode in which various changes, corrections, improvements, and the like are added within the scope obvious to those skilled in the art. For example, a sheet-like lid or the like may be provided in the opening in order to reliably prevent the curved newspaper stacked in the accommodation space from getting wet in the rain. In addition, a reflector or the like may be attached to an appropriate place such as the box body or the base plate in order to enhance safety.
