Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrier for a plastic tank used for carrying oil tanks and water tanks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Plastic tanks are often used as a container for petroleum stove fuel and a container for transporting drinking water. This plastic tank often has a volume of 18 liters or 20 liters, and is used for transportation from a gas station to a home or from a spring point called famous water to a point of use.

By the way, the above-mentioned plastic tank is a rectangular parallelepiped container which has a handle and a pouring outlet with a lid on the top and is vertically flat. For this reason, when it is transported by a private car, etc., it may fall down immediately, and it is often found that the cargo bed or the trunk of the vehicle becomes dirty.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel carrier for preventing the collapse of the plastic tank during the transportation of the plastic tank.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a plastic tank carrier including a base member having a size which serves as a stable foot plate of the plastic tank and provided with an irregular meshing surface portion at an appropriate position on the upper surface, and a meshing surface portion of the base member. With a lower surface meshing surface part that meshes with,
A first supporting member having a base plate portion having an uneven upper surface engaging surface portion on the upper surface and a partition portion having a size capable of supporting the side surface of the plastic tank, and a lower surface engaging surface portion engaging with the engaging surface portion of the first supporting member. It is characterized in that it is constituted by a base portion provided and a second support member having a partition portion.

Thus, the base portion of the first supporting member is superposed above the base member, and the base portion of the second supporting member is superposed above the base portion of the first supporting member, and the partition portions of both supporting members are superposed. The space is made to match the width of the plastic tank to be used, and the plastic tank containing water or oil is inserted between the partitions and placed on the base portion of the second support member. Then, the meshing surface portions are firmly meshed with each other due to the weight of the plastic tank, and each member and the plastic tank are integrated. Therefore, the plastic tank is prevented from falling down by the partition, and the base member having a corresponding grounding area serves as a supporting foot plate for the plastic tank.
It is possible to prevent the plastic tank from falling when the vehicle is transported.

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
The plastic tank carrier shown in the embodiment includes a base member 1, a first support member 2 and a second support member 3.

The base member 1 has a size such as a stable foot plate of a plastic tank, for example, a width of 30 to 40 cm and a length of 40 to 40 cm.
It is a rectangle of 50 cm and is provided with a concavo-convex meshing surface portion 11 at the center of the upper surface, and the peripheral portion is raised to form an edge wall portion 12.

The first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are base plate portions 21, 31, respectively, and partition portions 22, 32 provided on one edge of the base plate portions 21, 31 so as to be upright and inclinable, and the partition portions. Behind the parts 22, 32, there are provided mounting parts 23, 33 formed in the shape of a U-shaped lower opening, which supports the partitions 22 and 32 at the time of standing up and can straddle the edge wall part 12.

In particular, the lower surface of the base portion 21 of the first support member 2 is provided with a lower surface engaging surface portion 24a which engages with the engaging surface portion 11 of the base member 1, and the upper surface is provided with an uneven upper surface engaging surface portion 24b. Base plate portion 3 of the second support member 3
1 is provided with a lower surface meshing surface portion 34a which meshes with the upper surface meshing surface portion 24b of the first supporting member 2.

Further, the attachment portions 23 and 33 are formed with belt holes 25 and 35 on the upper surfaces thereof. And the supporting member 2,
The size of 3 is, with the partitions 22 and 32 lying down,
It is formed in a shape that can be stored in the edge wall portion 12 of the base member 1.

When the carrier is used, the mounting portions 23 and 33 of the supporting members 2 and 3 are attached to the edge wall portion 12 of the base member 1.
The base portion 21 of the first support member 2 is overlaid on the base member 1 with the partition portions 22 and 32 of the support members 2 and 3 standing upright. The base portion 31 of the second support member 3 is superposed on the base portion 21 of the support member 2, and the partition portion 22 is raised.
The interval of 32 is matched with the width of the poly tank A to be used.

In the above state, when the poly tank A containing water or oil is inserted between the partitions 22 and 32 and placed on the base 31 of the second support member 3, the weight of the poly tank A causes the mating surface of the base member 1. 11 and the lower surface of the first support member 2
4a, and the upper surface engaging surface portion 24b of the first supporting member 2 and the lower surface engaging surface portion 34a of the second supporting member 3 are firmly engaged.

Therefore, by placing the poly tank A having a considerable weight on the superposed members, the whole is integrated, and both sides of the poly tank A, which are prone to fall down, have partitions 22 and 22.
32 will prevent lodging. Further, since the platform member 1 prevents the entire poly tank A and each member from falling down, it is possible to carry the vehicle on the bed or the trunk with a sense of security.

Further, by changing the meshing, it is possible to cope with a plastic tank having a different width dimension, and if necessary, the base member 1
Of the belt holes 25,
It is possible to further surely integrate the whole with the belt B having the belt 35 inserted therethrough.

Further, when not in use, as illustrated in FIG. 5, when the partitions 22 and 32 of the supporting members 2 and 3 are laid down and stored in the edge wall 12 of the base member 1, the whole becomes flat and the vehicle is It has the advantage of not disturbing your cell phone.

The present invention is intended to prevent lateral collapse (collapse in a narrow direction) of the plastic tank, and the base member must be placed on the entire bottom surface of the plastic tank so as to have a width equal to or larger than the vertical width of the plastic tank. It suffices if the base member protrudes from the side of the plastic tank when the plastic tank is assembled to prevent lateral collapse.

Although not shown in the drawings, the plastic tank carrier of the present invention is a mounting portion 2 of the supporting members 2 and 3 of the above-mentioned embodiment.
When the supporting feet are 4, 34, the supporting feet are composed of the first supporting member 2 and the second supporting member 3 which are not provided with the lower meshing surface portion. Even if the base is supported and the base member is not required, the same operation as that of the above-described embodiment is achieved.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a base member provided with an irregular meshing surface portion at an appropriate place on the upper surface, a base plate portion having a lower surface meshing surface portion and an upper surface meshing surface portion, and a partition portion. A plastic tank carrier including a support member, a base member having a lower surface engaging surface portion, and a second supporting member having a partition portion, and a plastic tank carrier including a supporting member having a supporting foot portion. By applying the weight of the plastic tank to the overlapping position of, the member and the plastic tank are integrated, and the lateral fall of the plastic tank is prevented at the partition part.
This facilitates the handling of plastic tanks during transportation of vehicles.
