Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing and transporting foldable luggage.

Conventionally, containers have been adopted in various types of business in which a side pallet wraps around four sides of a rectangular bottom pallet, a wall is constructed, a storage space is formed on the bottom panel, and luggage is stored and transported. An example of such a container is shown as Patent Document 1.
In the container of Patent Document 1, left and right side rails 11 and front and rear side rails 21 and 31 are used as four-side wall panels for constructing a wall portion. When folding, as shown in FIG. 3, the left and right side rails 11 are first laid down, and then the front and rear side rails 21 and 31 shifted by 90 degrees are laid down so as to fold over the left and right side rails 11 (state of FIG. 4). . Each of the fences 11, 21, and 31 cannot be maintained independently, and adjacent fences are fixed with a fastener 36 as shown in FIG. 6.
On the other hand, when the fences 11, 21, 31 are erected for using the folded container, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the front and rear fences 21, 31 stacked on the upper side are opposed to each other. In this state, the left and right side rails 11 are raised and fixed with the fasteners 36.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-51135

However, there is a possibility that the front and rear surface fences 21 and 31 that have been erected on the standing work of each of the fences 11, 21, 31 may fall down inward again due to strong wind, vibration, or the work place being inclined. . That is, in the state shown in FIG. 3, it is not yet fixed with the fastener 36. As shown in FIG. 5, the container of this Patent Document 1 has relatively thick fences 11, 21, 31 and the width of the portion where the fences are erected (beam members shown as 3b and 4a in FIG. 5). Although it is relatively wide, it is easy to stand on its own, but it is still possible to fall down unless it is fixed. Of course, it is possible to support the fences 11, 21 and 31 even if one person can work with multiple people or a relatively small container. However, if this type of container is large, one worker can work. In some cases, work is difficult under conditions such as under strong winds and slopes, and work must be done with great care. In addition, since some containers are not as self-supporting as the container of Patent Document 1, a technique for easily and reliably making the wall panel self-supporting has been sought.
The present invention is for solving the above-mentioned problems. The purpose is to provide a container that can be made to stand on its own by the wall panel alone and that has good workability from the folded state to the standing state.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the first means has a rectangular bottom panel and four wall panels respectively arranged along the four sides of the bottom panel, and each wall panel has a lower end thereof. Walls that can be folded and folded on the bottom panel with the connection part connected to the bottom panel side as a base, and circulate by being connected to the end of the adjacent wall panel in an upright state And a pair of second wall panels arranged orthogonally to the first wall panel and the pair of first wall panels arranged opposite to each other. A regulating member is erected on the side of the bottom panel, and the first wall panel is in contact with the regulating member in a predetermined standing state to prevent further outward collapse. In the container to be used, the first wall panel has an engaging portion. The engaging member is the same in a state where the first wall panel has reached the contact position with the restricting member when the first wall panel is rotationally displaced from the lying down direction to the upright direction. The gist is to disable the displacement of the first wall panel to the fall side by engaging with the engaged portion on the regulating member side.
By adopting such a configuration, the state in which the first wall panel alone is erected can be reliably maintained, and the connection work between the first wall panel and the second wall panel to be erected thereafter is easy. It can be carried out.

Further, in the second means, in addition to the first means, the engaging member interferes with the inclined portion of the regulating member when the first wall panel is displaced from the lying down direction to the standing direction, In accordance with the movement of the wall panel, the inclined portion is gradually moved and displaced to the second position that is swung with respect to the first position before the interference, and the first wall panel is moved to the same regulating member. The gist of the invention is to move from the second position to the third position to be engaged with the engaged portion on the regulating member side in a state where the contact position is reached.
The second means is a more specific configuration of the engaging member. With such a configuration, if the operator simply raises the first wall panel and stands up, the engaging member is in the first position. → The second position → the third position is displaced and engaged with the engaged portion on the regulating member side, so that workability is improved.
Further, in the third means, in addition to the first or second means, the engagement member is disposed near either one of the pair of the first wall panels in the left-right direction, and the engagement member The gist of the present invention is that it can be engaged with the engaged portion of the restricting member disposed outside the bottom panel. This improves the workability especially when folding again.

Further, in the fourth means, in addition to the second or third means, the engaging member is a hook member rotatably supported by the first wall panel, and the engaged portion of the hook member The gist is that the abutting portion is in contact with the outer wall surface of the first wall panel when it does not interfere with the regulating member side.
As a result, the hook member as the engaging member swings and contacts the first wall panel at the first position that is not involved in the engaging operation, so that the hook member is displaced from the lying state or the lying direction to the standing direction. Do not get in the way of work.
Further, in the fifth means, in addition to the fourth means, the hook member has a shaft portion rotatably supported by the first wall panel, and a first extension extending outward from the coaxial portion. And a second extending portion formed on the tip end side of the first extending portion having the abutting portion extending along the outer surface of the first wall panel. The gist.
The fifth means is a more specific configuration of the hook member. With such a configuration, the hook member can swing about the shaft portion, and the second extension portion is the first wall panel. It becomes the structure which approaches or leaves | separates the outer surface.

  The container of the invention of each of the claims can make the first wall panel stand on its own so that the first wall panel does not fall inward when the folded wall panel is erected at the time of use. It will be faster.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a container according to the present invention is embodied will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and FIG. 3, the illustration of the back is omitted for the overlapping parts.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the container 1 is composed of a flat rectangular bottom panel 2 and four wall panels 3 arranged along each side of the bottom panel 2. Furthermore, the wall panel 3 is comprised from the 1st wall panel 3A and 2nd wall panel 3B which oppose. The bottom panel 2 is configured by attaching a wire net 5 to an upper surface of a square frame 4 made of steel having an L-shaped cross section. The bottom panel 2 is constructed on four steel legs 6 disposed at the four corner positions. The leg 6 is configured by welding a bowl-shaped base 8 to the bottom edge of a regulating plate 7 as a regulating member bent in a plane L shape. The restriction plate 7 is composed of first and second contact plates 7a and 7b which are orthogonal to each other, and the upper end edge is horizontally formed. In this embodiment, the upper end corner of the first abutment plate 7a of the regulating plate 7 on the side where the engagement hook 20 to be described later is disposed is cut out obliquely, and the oblique edge 9 as the oblique portion is formed. Is formed. Further, an engagement convex portion 10 is formed on the outer surface of the second contact plate 7b of the regulating plate 7 on the side where the engagement hook 20 described later is disposed.
The bottom panel 2 is arranged at a position about 1/3 from below in the entire length of the regulation plate 7, and is closer to the corners of the four sides with respect to the inner surfaces of the first and second contact plates 7a, 7b of the regulation plate 7. It is welded in the side part.

The first wall panel 3A has a gate-shaped frame 13 composed of a steel long beam member 11 constituting the upper edge thereof and a square pipe 12 as a column member welded to both ends of the beam member 11, The wire 13 is attached to the inner surface of the frame 13. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5A and the like, the first wall panel 3A is rotatably supported by a bearing pin 15 with respect to the first contact plate 7a of the regulating plate 7. A bracket 17 is welded to the left and right of the upper end of the square pipe 12 of the frame 13, and a ring 18 for hanging the container 1 is disposed on the bracket 17. A small through hole 19 is formed in the inner side surface 12 a near the upper end of the square pipe 12. An engagement hook 20 is disposed near the upper edge of the restriction plate 7 of either the left or right square pipe 12. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the engagement hook 20 is disposed on the right corner pipe 12 when the first wall panel 3A is viewed from the outside.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the engagement hook 20 is formed by bending a steel rod, and includes a rotation shaft portion 20a, a first extension portion 20b, and a second extension portion 20c. It is comprised from these three parts. The rotation shaft portion 20a is inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the square pipe 12 and is rotatably supported. The base end of the rotating shaft portion 20a is crushed to prevent it from coming off. The first extending portion 20b is bent 90 degrees with respect to the rotating shaft portion 20a and extends outward of the first wall panel 3A across the square pipe 12. The second extending portion 20c is further bent 90 degrees with respect to the first extending portion 20b, and extends along the outer surface of the square pipe 12. The rotating shaft portion 20a and the second extending portion 20c are arranged in parallel.
The first extending portion 20b has advanced to a position where it interferes with the first abutting plate 7a of the regulating plate 7 in plan view. In addition, an interval is provided between the second extending portion 20c and the outer surface of the square pipe 12 so that the second extending portion 20c can sufficiently swing in the vertical direction with the rotating shaft portion 20a serving as a rotating base portion. ing.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer surface 12 b of the square pipe 12 has the first wall panel 3 </ b> A standing upright (that is, upright) with respect to the upper surface of the bottom panel 2. Abutting on the inner surface of the second abutting plate 7b, further outward rotation is prevented.

The second wall panel 3 </ b> B includes a long steel beam member 22 that constitutes the upper edge of the second wall panel 3 </ b> B, and upper and lower wire nets 23 a and 23 b that are suspended from the beam member 23. The upper and lower wire nets 23 a and 23 b are divided into upper and lower parts and are connected by a coiled connecting wire 25. The lower end of the lower wire net 23b is fixed to the bottom panel 2 by an engagement fitting 26 on the bottom panel 2 side. Therefore, the second wall panel 3B can be folded and placed on the bottom panel 2 at the position of the connecting wire 25.
A pinch device 27 is disposed near both upper ends of the upper wire net 23a. As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the tablet device 27 includes a bearing wire 28 welded to the upper wire net 23 a and a slider 29 supported by the bearing wire 28. A handle 30 is welded to the slider 29. A guide plate 31 is disposed at an outer position adjacent to the pinch device 27. The slider 29 is loosely fitted to the bearing wire 28 and supported so as to be able to advance and retreat in the horizontal direction, and can be accurately advanced outward by the guide plate 31, and the tip of the slider 29 is the first wall panel. It can be inserted into a small through hole 19 (FIG. 8B) formed on the 3A side square pipe 12 side.

Next, a procedure for assembling such a container 1 will be described.
As the work, it is assumed that the wall panels 3 in a folded state as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the opposing second wall panel 3B is placed on the wire net 5 of the bottom panel 2 with the upper and lower wire nets 23a and 23b folded and the bearing wires 28 facing each other. This is a state in which the first wall panel 3A facing in the direction orthogonal to the second wall panel 3B is folded.
The worker raises the first wall panel 3A from such a state. As shown in FIG. 5A, in the middle of the first wall panel 3A rising from the lying down state, the engagement hook 20 attached to the square pipe 12 has the second extension with the rotation shaft portion 20a as the rotation base portion. The protruding portion 20c side hangs down by its own weight and comes into contact with the outer surface of the square pipe 12. This contact position, that is, the distance from the bearing pin 15 also corresponds to the distance from the bearing pin 15 to the oblique edge 9 formed at the upper end corner of the first contact plate 7a of the regulating plate 7. Therefore, when the first wall panel 3A is further erected, the second extending portion 20c of the engagement hook 20 abuts against the oblique edge 9 and swings upward in the upright state as shown in FIG. 5 (b). It will be moved. Thereafter, as the first wall panel 3A rises, that is, as the first wall panel 3A approaches the restriction plate 7, the engagement hook 20 abuts on the restriction plate 7 and changes its shape. It will swing while following along. First, when the front end (the second extending portion 20c side) of the engagement hook 20 abuts on the oblique edge 9 and is swung upward, the engagement hook 20 is moved obliquely upward along the oblique edge 9 as shown in FIG. As shown in (c), it is placed on the upper end of the restriction plate 7. As the first wall panel 3A further approaches the restriction plate 7, the engagement hook 20 moves horizontally on the upper end of the restriction plate 7, and the first wall panel 3A is in contact with the restriction plate 7 ( The second extension 20c of the engagement hook 20 protrudes outward from the first contact plate 7a just before contact (actually just before contact), so that it falls by its own weight and is more than that of the engagement projection 10 as shown in FIG. It swings to the lower position shown in (d). In this state, if the first wall panel 3A is rotated in the lying down direction, the action of the engaging hook 20 prevents the first wall panel 3A from moving in the lying down direction. In this embodiment, FIG. 5A corresponds to the first position, FIGS. 5B and 5C correspond to the second position, and FIG. 5D corresponds to the third position.
By causing the left and right first wall panels 3A to stand up in the same manner (state of FIG. 3), each first wall panel 3A does not fall again inward due to the action of the engagement hook 20, and thus becomes independent. The worker can calm down and work to raise the second wall panel 3B. The operator lifts the second wall panel 3B upward, and the left and right latching device 27 in the state shown in FIG. 8A is moved toward the first wall panel 3A as shown in FIG. 8B. The assembly is completed by moving it so as to be inserted into the small through hole 19 formed in the square pipe 12.
On the contrary, when returning to the folded state, the operation shown in FIG. 3 is first performed in the reverse operation to the above, and the engagement hook 20 is removed one by one and the first wall panel 3A is rotated in the lying down direction.

By configuring as in the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the wall panel 3 is erected so that the container 1 in a state in which the wall panel 3 is folded can be used, the first wall panel 3A, which must be self-supported first, is again attached by the engagement hook 20. It is possible to make it independent so that it does not fall down.
(2) The operator simply needs to perform the operation of folding the first wall panel 3A in a lying state while rotating it in the same manner as in the prior art, so that the first wall panel 3A is independent. There is no need for special operations.

The above embodiment may be embodied as follows.
In the above embodiment, the engagement hook 20 is arranged only on one side of the first wall panel 3A. Although it is more convenient to use the engagement hook 20 on only one side in consideration of allowing it to stand on its own for a while, the present invention does not exclude the arrangement on both sides.
Although the restriction plate 7 is configured as a part of the leg 6, it may be a separate body.
-The shape and position of the engagement hook 20 are not limited to the said Example.
In the above description, the engaging protrusion 10 is taken as an example of the protrusion that is easily engaged as the engaged portion. However, the engagement hook 20 is engaged with the regulating plate 7 and the first wall panel 3 </ b> A falls down. As long as it is prevented, it does not necessarily have to be recognized as a protruding shape such as the engaging convex portion 10.
-How to fold is not limited to the above.
-In addition, it is free to implement in a mode that does not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
