Abstract

An upright case that occupies a relatively small horizontal area, does not easily fall over, and is easy to store. An upright case includes a first lid and a second lid. The first lid 20 has a top surface 21 and first side surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 formed so as to extend downward and inward from the top surface 21. The second lid 30 has a bottom surface 31 and second side surfaces 32, 33, 34, 35 formed so as to extend upward and inward from the bottom surface 31. Since the first side surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25 of the first lid 20 and the second side surfaces 32, 33, 34, 35 of the second lid 30 are connected to each other, the upright case 10 is connected to each other. The two sides can face downward to maintain an upright state. As a result, the upright case 10 occupies a relatively small horizontal area, is very stable and difficult to collapse, and is easy to store. [Selection] Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to an upright case, and more particularly to an upright case that can be easily stored.

  A conventional upright case includes a first lid and a second lid whose shapes correspond to each other. The first lid and the second lid are closed to each other to form a space for storing the tool. The plurality of side surfaces of the first lid body and the plurality of side surfaces of the second lid body are connected to each other. Each side surface is inclined upward or downward and inward from the connection point. That is, when the upright case is closed, the side portion has a protruding shape, and therefore the upright case cannot maintain the upright state with the side portion facing downward. And even if a side part is planar, an upright case cannot stand upright stably and tends to fall down. Therefore, when placing the upright case, the bottom surface, which has a relatively large area, is usually faced downward. When the upright case is not used, the upright case is put on a shelf or a drawer so as not to get in the way.

However, when placing an upright case on the ground, a desk, a shelf or a drawer, the conventional upright case occupies a considerable horizontal area, so there is room for improvement.
An object of the present invention is to provide an upright case that occupies a relatively small horizontal area and is not easily toppled but also easy to store.

  In order to achieve the above object, an upright case according to the present invention includes a first lid and a second lid. The first lid body has a top surface and a first side surface formed to extend downward and inward from the top surface. The second lid has a bottom surface and a second side surface formed to extend upward and inward from the bottom surface. Since the first side surface of the first lid body and the second side surface of the second lid body are connected to each other, the upright case can maintain the upright state with the two side surfaces connected to each other facing downward. At this time, the upright case occupies a relatively small horizontal area and is very stable and difficult to fall down.

It is a perspective view which shows the upright case by 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the upright state (the 1) of the upright case by 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which shows the upright state (the 1) of the upright case by 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which shows the upright state (the 2) of the upright case by 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which shows the upright state of the upright case by 2nd embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, an upright case according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
As shown in the figure, the upright case 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a first lid 20 and a second lid 30. The first lid body 20 and the second lid body 30 are closed to each other to form a space for storing the tool.

  The first lid 20 has a top surface 21 and four first side surfaces 22, 23, 24, 25. The second lid 30 has a bottom surface 31 and four second side surfaces 32, 33, 34, 35. The upright case 10 further includes a connecting portion 40 that is integrally connected so as to be bent between the first side surface 22 of the first lid 20 and the second side surface 32 of the second lid 30. The connecting portion 40 is used for opening and closing the upright case 10.

  When the upright case 10 is closed so that the bottom surface 31 faces downward, the first side surfaces 23, 24, and 25 of the first lid 20 are formed between the first lid 20 and the second lid 30 below the top surface 21. Inclined and extended at the connection point and inside. The second side surfaces 33, 34, and 35 of the second lid body 30 are inclined and extend inward from the bottom surface 31 where the first lid body 20 and the second lid body 30 are connected. The first side surfaces 23, 24, 25 and the second side surfaces 33, 34, 35 are connected to each other. The first lid 20 further has a plurality of first linear protrusions 26 formed to protrude outward from the first side surfaces 23, 24, 25. The second lid 30 further has a plurality of second linear protrusions 36 formed to protrude outward from the second side surfaces 33, 34, 35. The first linear protrusion 26 and the second linear protrusion 36 are extended in parallel to the top surface 21 and the bottom surface 31.

  The closed upright case 10 includes three side portions 13, 14, 15 formed from a first side surface 23 and a second side surface 33, a first side surface 24 and a second side surface 34, and a first side surface 25 and a second side surface 35. Have The side parts 13, 14, and 15 are concave. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upright case 10 stands upright on the surface G so that the side portion 15 faces downward. At this time, since the side portion 15 has an inverted V-shaped support structure, the upright case 10 is very stable and can stand upright, and the area of the surface G occupied is very small. Similarly, the upright case 10 has the above-described effects when it stands upright on the surface G so that the side portion 13 faces downward.

  The first lid 20 further has two lock units 27 formed extending from the first side surface 24. The second lid 30 further has two fitting grooves 37 formed by the second side surface 34 being depressed. The two lock units 27 are fitted in the two fitting grooves 37, respectively, and maintain the upright case 10 in a closed state. Further, the lock unit 27 has a surface 272 that forms the same plane as the second side surface 34 of the second lid 30. Therefore, the upright case 10 can stably stand upright on the surface G so that the side portion 14 faces downward as shown in FIG.

(Second embodiment)
In the present invention, the number of the lock unit 27 and the fitting groove 37 is not limited, and only one set of the lock unit 27 and the fitting groove 37 can be arranged as shown in FIG.

  As described above, when the upright case 10 is stored without being used, the upright case 10 can stably maintain the upright state. The upright case 10 occupies a very small horizontal area when it is placed on the ground or desk, or stored in a shelf or drawer. Further, the upright case 10 according to the present invention looks like a hard cover book, so that the upright case 10 is in the upright state shown in FIGS. be able to.

  As mentioned above, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, In the range which does not deviate from the meaning of invention, it can be implemented with a various form.
