  Such a container has many members and is difficult to assemble. In addition, it is heavy and difficult to carry.

As a first means for achieving the above-mentioned object, two linear parallel broken lines made of a plurality of through-hole rows are formed on a main body made of a single plate made of an alloy and bent along the bent lines. Thus, the main body bent in a U-shape consisting of a top plate and left and right side plates is formed, and the open end portions of the side plates are connected by a connecting member.
As a result, the container can be easily assembled, and before assembly, the container can be formed into a flat and non-bulky shape.
The alloy plate must be a material that can keep its bent shape when the metal of the material is plastically deformed when folded in a U-shape (that is, when bent to an angle of 90 degrees). is there. For example, an iron alloy, an aluminum alloy, a copper alloy, or the like is preferable. Metals that are too hard or too soft to maintain the bent state are also not suitable. By folding along the polygonal line, it can be bent along a precise straight line at a predetermined position.

Further, as a second means, the two parallel broken lines are set to have the same distance to the open end portion which is closer to each other.
If it is such a structure, a top plate will be arrange | positioned horizontally and a storage container is good to fit as a storage container.
As a third means, the open end and the connecting member are connected by a fixing member.
Since the fixing member can be easily connected without using screws or welding, the assembling work is simplified. Examples of the fixing member include a snap lock, a combination of a male screw and a nut, and a wood screw.
Further, as a fourth means, a storage container assembly using the storage container of any one of the first means to the third means, wherein a plurality of the storage containers having the same shape are connected to the top plate. The members were surfaced or the side plates were surfaced, and the surfaced surfaces were connected by the fixing member.
By assembling a plurality of storage containers, a storage container assembly having a large number of storage portions can be easily constructed.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage container or a storage container assembly excellent in transportability and storage because it can be easily assembled and formed into a flat and unbulged shape before assembly.

(A) of the main body plate which comprises the storage container of embodiment is a front view, (b) is a top view, (c) is a side view. The front view of the state which bent the main body plate of FIG. 1 in the broken line position. The partially broken front view of a baseplate. The disassembled perspective view of the assembly example of a storage container. The perspective view of the example which combined and connected the four storage containers assembled in FIG.

Hereinafter, an example of a container and a container assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The main body plate 2 of the storage box 1 as a storage container is configured by press-molding a single aluminum alloy plate. As shown in FIG. 1B, the main body plate 2 has a rectangular appearance in plan view. The longitudinal end surface of the main body plate 2 is bent to form reinforcing portions 4a and 4b. The reinforcing portion 4a on the front side after the housing box 1 is assembled is formed in a U-shape (channel shape), and the reinforcing portion 4b on the back side is formed in an L shape. As shown in FIG. 1C and FIG. 3, an attachment piece 5 formed by bending 90 degrees inward is provided at the end portion in the short direction that intersects the longitudinal direction. A mounting through hole 10 is formed in the mounting piece 5.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the main body plate 2 is partitioned into two parallel broken lines 8 in three regions that will become the top plate 6 and the left and right side plates 7 in the future. The broken line 8 is composed of a plurality of (in this example, eight) long hole rows formed in a straight line. The distances from the ends on both sides in the short direction of the main body plate 2 to the bent lines 8 on the near side are set to be equal distances. The reinforcing portion 4 is formed with a right-angle notch 9 at the position of the broken line 8. A mounting through hole 11 is formed near the broken line 8 in a region that will become the top plate 6 in the future. A window hole 12 that is both decorative and lightweight is formed in a region that will become the side plate 7 in the future, and a mounting through hole 13 is formed near the end in the short-side direction and near the broken line 8.

Next, an example of an assembly method for assembling the storage box 1 using such a main body plate 2 will be described. The storage box 1 uses a bottom plate 15 and a snap lock 16 in addition to the main body plate 2.
As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom plate 15 is formed by press-molding a single aluminum alloy flat plate in the same manner as the main body plate 2. A mounting through hole 17 is formed near the end of the bottom plate 15 in the short direction. The snap lock 16 is a pair of male and female fixing members. An operator grasps the edge of the flat plate-like main body plate 2 in the short direction, and applies an external force to the main body plate 2 so as to bend the main body plate 2 inward. Then, the broken line 8 position yields because the stress is smaller than the other positions, and plastically deforms, resulting in a U-shaped outer shape as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the through hole 10 of the attachment piece 5 on the open end side of the main body plate 2 having a U-shaped outer shape is collated with the through hole 17 of the bottom plate 15, and is connected by a snap lock 16 from the front and back. .
The storage box 1 configured as described above is connected to each other by a snap lock 16 using the storage box 1 as a unit and the through holes 11 of the top plate 6 and the through holes 13 of the side plates 7 as shown in FIG. Thus, the container assembly can be configured.

The storage box 1 and the storage container assembly configured as described above have the following effects. (1) Since the main body plate 2 is flat before being bent, it is not bulky and is excellent in transportation and storage.
(2) Since the main body plate 2 is three-dimensionally formed by simply bending the main body plate 2 and is assembled only by connecting the bottom plate 15 thereto, the assembling workability is improved as compared with the conventional storage container of this type. .
(3) Since the main body plate 2 is three-dimensionally formed in a U shape simply by bending the main body plate 2, and the housing box 1 having a strong ramen structure is obtained by simply connecting the bottom plate 15 thereto, even if it is a thin aluminum alloy, A rigid containment vessel can be provided.
(4) Since the snap lock 16 is used instead of the screw, the assembly work time is shortened.

The above embodiments are merely described as specific embodiments for illustrating the principle of the present invention and the concept thereof. That is, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The present invention can also be embodied in the following modified form, for example.
-The material of the storage box 1 other than the above can be used.
-You may make it form a protrusion in the storage box 1 and arrange | position a shelf board etc. further.
The shape of the main body plate 2 and the bottom plate 15 is an example. For example, the shape of the window hole 12 of the main body plate 2 is also an example, and may be modified.
-You may use other than the snap lock 16 as a fixing member.
-The shape and number of the long holes constituting the broken line 8 can be changed as appropriate. It does not have to be a long hole.
The above-described connection pattern of the container assembly is an example, and may be connected by another connection pattern.

  DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1 ... Storage box as a storage container, 2 ... Main body plate as a main body, 15 ... Bottom plate as a connection member.

According to the present invention, easily assembled, it can provide portability, excellent accommodating container in storage properties because before can a flat bulky shapes to assemble.
