Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing and transferring trees.

Conventionally, for transporting trees such as shrubs, trees were directly carried by people, and loaded and unloaded onto trucks and carts.
A number of loading and unloading processes are associated with the distribution channel from the producer to the consumer. For this reason, the time and labor required for transportation are increased, and it is also a cause of damage to trees. In particular, the burden and load in loading and unloading on a transfer medium such as a truck are large.

Patent documents 1 to 4 are listed as conventional techniques related to a tree transferring means, and patent documents 5 to 8 are listed as related techniques related thereto.
However, conventional tools do not eliminate the burden and load on loading and unloading on a transfer medium such as a truck.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a tree container that can effectively prevent damage to trees and reduce the time and labor required for transportation while having a simple configuration.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
In other words, the container for trees of the present invention is a container for storing and transferring trees, and has at least a bottom surface and a side surface that form a substantially rectangular tube shape, and one side surface of the container is open and completely opened. And a rod-like body that is detachably installed in the opening and partially closes the opening, and the bottom and side surfaces have a mesh-like wall and a frame that supports the periphery of the wall. It is characterized by.

  Here, a lifting portion that is engaged when lifting and transferring may be provided on the side surface, and a crane or the like may be used to contribute to the convenience of transfer such as between a truck bed.

  Further, at least one of the bottom surface and the side surface may be configured to be foldable in a direction overlapping with the adjacent side surface via a hinge portion provided on the frame portion, thereby contributing to compactness when not in use. .

  According to the tree container of the present invention, loading and unloading to trucks and trucks can be easily performed with the tree protected, and the process is standardized, so it is influenced by the skill of the operator. The time and labor required for transportation can be reduced.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The design can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-mentioned patent documents and conventionally known techniques can be used.

FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing an outline of an embodiment of a tree container according to the present invention. FIGS. 2 (a), (b), (c), and (d) are a front view, a side view, a plan view, It is a bottom view.
The container includes a bottom surface (10) and side surfaces (20), (30), and (40) that form a substantially rectangular tube shape, and one side surface portion of the four surfaces forming the side portion is missing, and the side surface opening (50) is formed. It is composed.
In the present embodiment, the upper surface is chipped and opened entirely, but the same form as the bottom surface (10) may be provided.

The bottom surface (10) and the side surfaces (20), (30), and (40) have a mesh-like wall portion (11) and a frame portion (12) that supports the periphery of the wall portion (11).
A conventionally well-known commercial item, such as a net by a metal or resin wire, can be used for the wall (11).

Trees are accommodated or discharged into the container through the side opening (50) and the upper surface portion.
During accommodation, the side opening (50) is partially closed to stabilize and protect the trees.
To close the side opening (50), the rod-like body (51) is hooked on the rod-like body support portion (52) provided in the frame portion (12) of the side surfaces (20) and (40). Instead of such a rod-like body (51), a wire may be installed on the frame portion (12) of the side surfaces (20) and (40).

  As the shape of the container, for example, a rectangular shape whose bottom surface is a square having a side of 110 cm and whose side surfaces are 110 cm and 210 cm having two sides is cited. This is suitable for transferring plants with a height of 100-200 cm. Depending on the shape of the tree to be accommodated, the shape of the container can also be selected as appropriate.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which a container is loaded onto a truck.
The container is loaded onto a truck bed by a crane (60) through a lifting member (61) installed in a lifting hole (13) provided in a frame part (12) of the side surfaces (20), (30), and (40). Is done.
There is no need to directly load and unload trees, and the standardization of work has made it possible to reduce the time required for loading and unloading trucks and trucks to 1/3 of the conventional time.

  Further, by providing the tag storage part (21) on the side surface (20), it is possible to efficiently identify and manage trees.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory plan view showing an outline of a state in which the container is folded.
When the container is not used, the bottom surface (10) is folded in a direction overlapping the side surface (30) as shown in FIG. 4 (a) via the hinge portion (14) provided in the frame portion (12). Similarly, the side surface (20) is folded in a direction overlapping with the side surface (30) as shown in FIG. 4 (b) via the hinge portion (14) provided in the frame portion (12). In addition, a conventionally well-known hinge can be used for a hinge part (14).
In the present embodiment, the two surfaces (10) and (20) are folded. However, the side surface (40) may be folded, or a top surface is provided, and the top surface is also folded. It may be.

  As described above, according to the present invention, protection of trees, loading and unloading of trucks and trolleys, etc. can be easily performed, and the time and labor required for transfer without being affected by the skills of workers. This is very useful in the industry.
