Description

  The present invention relates to a folding storage container in which a bag is installed inside a foldable frame. is there.

  When shopping at a supermarket or the like, products are put into a shopping cart provided in the store, the shopping cart containing the products is brought to the cash register, and payment is made at the cash register. At the time of cashier checkout, the amount of purchased merchandise put in the shopping cart is read with a machine, replaced with another shopping cart, and a shopping bag is also attached. Next, the purchaser brings the product replaced with another shopping cart to a desk prepared for refilling the product, replaces it with a shopping bag, and takes it home.

  In order to make the plastic bags distributed as described above unnecessary from the viewpoint of environmental protection, the shoppers themselves bring bags called eco bags, install the eco bags in the shopping cart, and directly at the cash register. You may be asked to refill the eco bag.

  As prior art relating to the so-called eco-bag, Patent Document 1 discloses a storage portion formed in a shape that can be mounted along the inner surface of a shopping basket and a continuous upper end of the peripheral wall of the shopping basket when the basket is mounted. There is disclosed a storage container that includes a folded portion that is folded outward from an edge, and is provided with a string passage portion at a peripheral edge of a distal end of the folded portion.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a storage container in which a handle is provided on a foldable lightweight container.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-784 JP 2009-259785 A

  The problem with the eco-bag is that it takes time to install it in the shopping cart, and when it is installed, it does not stand up and the opening is difficult to open, and it is difficult for the cashier to refill the purchased item. Sometimes.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a foldable storage container that can be installed in a stand-alone state without using a shopping cart and can be easily carried.

  The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.

  (1) According to the first aspect of the present invention, four side frames (front, rear, left, and right) are formed by a pair of eaves members pivoted in an X shape, and the upper end and the lower end of the eaves member of each adjacent side frame are The frame is formed to be foldable by being pivotally attached to the connecting member, the bag is provided in the frame, and the upper end thereof is attached to the frame, and the upper part of the frame and the lower part of the frame are supported to be connectable. And it is comprised by the tuft which can support an open state.

  (2) The device described in claim 2 is configured such that in the foldable storage container described in claim 1, a band member capable of maintaining a folded state is provided in the bag body.

  It will be outlined with reference to the drawings how the present invention configured as described above works to solve the problems.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a pair of eaves members 2 pivoted in an X shape form four side frames 3 on the front, rear, left and right. Although the back side and left side frames are not shown in the figure, the same side frame 3 is provided. The pair of eaves members 2 and 2 constituting the side frame 3 are pivotally supported by a pivot 2a, and the upper end and the lower end of the eaves member 2 of each adjacent side frame 3 are pivotally attached to the connecting member 5. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to fold the storage container 1 itself as a frame. In addition, the band member 6 can be tightened and maintained in a folded state, that is, a small folded state can be maintained, and the tuft 7 can be used as a strap and can be easily carried.

  Further, when the upper portion of the frame and the lower portion of the frame are connected and supported by the tuft 7 in a state where the frame is expanded as shown in FIG. 3, the rotation of the heel member 2 is suppressed, and the frame cannot be folded. In such a state, the self-supporting state in which the opening is greatly opened is maintained, and the refill of the purchased product can be easily performed. In addition, even when a heavy product such as a plastic bottle is stored, the frame is not folded, that is, the open state is maintained, and the convenience of storing the product is maintained.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a preferred device will be outlined with reference to the drawings. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various forms can be adopted as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

  A foldable storage container 1 according to the present invention is configured by mounting a bag body 8 in a frame formed by a gutter member 2 and a connecting member 5.

  The frame constituting the side frame 2 is formed by pivotally supporting the two flange members 2 and 2 by the pivot 2a at the intersecting portion, and pivoting in an X shape. In FIG. 1, only the side frame 2 on the front side is displayed, but the left and right side surfaces and the back side are also formed with the same side frame 2.

  Adjacent side frames 2 and 2 are integrated by pivotally supporting the upper ends and lower ends of the flange member 2 by the connecting member 5. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing the pivoting state of the flange member 2 in the connecting member 5. The connecting member 5 is formed with two orthogonal groove portions 5a, and the flange member 2 is loosely inserted. The eaves member 2 is pivotally connected to the connecting member 5 by a pivot 5b.

  A bag 8 is provided in a rectangular parallelepiped frame formed by the side frames 3. The bag body 8 is attached to the connecting member 5. As an attachment method, adhesion, adhesion, or any other method can be adopted. If a handle 8a is attached to the upper part of the bag body, it becomes convenient.

  The tuft 7 is provided across the connecting members 5 and 5 existing on the same perpendicular line. The tuft 7 is belt-shaped, and a buckle female member 7a is attached to its tip. On the other hand, a buckle male member 7 b is attached to the connecting member 5, and the tuft 7 is stretched over the upper and lower connecting members 5, 5 by being inserted into the female member 7 a. The buckle male member 7 b may be attached to the tip of the tuft 7, and the female member 7 a may be attached to the connecting member 5. Further, a hook or a planar fastener may be used instead of a buckle. In short, the tuft 7 may be stretched between the upper and lower connecting members 5, 5, and the length of the tuft 7 needs to be set to the length between the upper and lower connecting members 5, 5. This is in order to play the role of preventing internal bending with the container expanded.

  A band member 6 is attached to the side surface of the bag body 8. The band member 6 is provided with a male hook 6a and a female hook 6b. The band member 6 is wound around a folded frame as shown in FIG. 4 and can be bound by fitting the hooks together. is there. It should be noted that a planar fastener or the like can be used instead of a hook if it can be bound.

  By using a water-resistant material as the material of the bag body, it can be used as an emergency bucket, and emergency response in the event of a disaster is also possible.
