Description

The present invention relates to a tire storage device that can be suitably used in a system that supports a replacement and storage service for a season tire such as an automobile.

Due to the widespread use of winter tires for automobiles such as studless tires, tires are often used depending on the season. To this end, it is necessary to replace the tires at appropriate times.
For many car users, this replacement is labor intensive and time consuming. Also, tires that were installed in the car before replacement must be stored until the next replacement.
Normally, a tire needs to be stored in a shaded and dry place in order to maintain its quality, but it is not easy for a user to secure such a place.

It is also possible to request replacement of the tire at a car dealer or service store, but even in that case, the user must bring the car to the dealer himself, and the tire that was installed in the car before replacement Must be carried by the user.
Therefore, there is a demand for a tire replacement service and a service for storing a tire after replacement, a business trip replacement service in which an operator visits a place specified by a user to replace a tire, and this service can be easily realized. Technology is needed.

For this reason, the tire of the user's automobile is changed from the first type of tire to the second type of tire as disclosed in JP-A-2002-342467 (see Patent Document 1), and the first type of tire is exchanged. A website provided in association with a dealer providing a service for storing the data for reuse, and a database for storing information relating to the stored tire in association with the user, the website comprising the user A tire storage service support system configured to search the database in response to access by the user, create a page that provides information on the tire stored for the user, and transmit the page to the user is proposed. ing.

However, the tire storage service support system described in Patent Document 1 also requires a tire storage tool to be stored for the user. However, various tire storage tools have been proposed for collecting a plurality of tires for transportation and storage, but there is no tire storage tool that can be used in a storage warehouse or the like.
Incidentally, as conventional tire storage tools used for transportation and storage, there are Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 57-199579 (see Patent Document 2), Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-21587 (see Patent Document 3), and the like. To do.

JP 2002-342467 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-199579 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-21587

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a tire storage service support system that supports the replacement and storage service of seasonal tires such as automobiles, and a tire storage device that can be used in a warehouse for storing tires for the user. There is to serve.
