Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a prefabricated container, and more particularly, while being easy to disassemble and reassemble, the side plate does not separate from the pallet during transportation, and the contents stored in the container are not assembled or disassembled. The present invention relates to a prefabricated container that can effectively prevent a side plate from falling inward during carrying-in or taking-out work.
[0002]
[Prior art]
After use, the side plate constituting the container is disassembled and folded on a pallet, and the container which can be returned to the transportation source and reused in a state where the bulk is reduced is as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-27062. Already known. The container shown in this publication is easy to disassemble and reassemble, and since the side plate is not separated from the pallet during transportation, it is widely used as a container for transporting various products.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the assembly type container shown in the above publication, since the side plate can be folded inward, during the assembly or disassembly of the container or during the work of carrying in or taking out the contents from the container, There was a risk that the side plate would fall inward due to a person's hand accidentally colliding. For example, in a container of a type in which a partition plate is installed inside the container, it is necessary to attach the partition plate while taking care not to incline the side plate that can be folded inward. The workability may be reduced.
[0004]
In addition, when the side plate is not completely assembled on the pallet, the contents may be taken in and out from the inside of the container. In that case, be careful that the side plate that can be folded inside does not fall inside. Therefore, the work becomes unstable and the workability may be reduced.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and while the disassembly and reassembly are easy, the side plate is not separated from the pallet during the transportation, and the container is loaded into the container during the assembly or disassembly of the container. Alternatively, it is an object of the present invention to provide a prefabricated container that can effectively prevent the side plate from falling inward during the take-out operation.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an assembling container according to the present invention is an assembling container having a pallet that can be transported and a plurality of side plates that are assembled on the pallet so as to form a space therein. The lower end of at least one side plate of the plurality of side plates is inserted from a vertical groove of a lower metal fixture fixed on the pallet, and is slid into a horizontal groove continuous with the vertical groove. And a locking protrusion fixed to the lower metal fitting in a state where the turning protrusion is positioned in a horizontal groove of the lower metal fitting. A stopper projection that engages with the recess and prevents the side plate from falling inside the container is provided.
[0007]
It is preferable that the rotation protrusion is formed at a lower end portion of a side end metal frame fixed to a side end portion of the side plate. The stopper projection is formed, for example, by fixing a stopper pin to the side end metal frame by welding or the like.
[0008]
The vertical groove and the horizontal groove are preferably formed in these gaps by fixing the locking piece to the lower metal fitting.
The locking recess is preferably formed at the upper end of the locking piece.
[0009]
[Action]
In the assembly-type container according to the present invention, the stopper protrusion is in the locking recess of the locking piece fixed to the lower metal fitting in a state where the rotation protrusion is located in the horizontal groove of the lower metal fitting. The side plates can be prevented from falling inside the container by engaging. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the side plate from collapsing inward during the assembly or disassembly of the container or during the work of carrying in or taking out the contents from the container.
[0010]
In order to disassemble the side plate from the pallet and fold it, it is only necessary to lift the side plate slightly upward from the lower metal fitting in a state where the projection for rotation is positioned in the vertical groove. By lifting the side plate upward, the stopper projection is removed from the locking recess of the locking piece, and in this state, the side plate can be turned inward with the turning projection as the rotation center. Can be folded on a pallet. Accordingly, the container can be easily disassembled and reassembled.
[0011]
After assembling all the side plates on the pallet, both side ends of the side plates that can be turned inward are connected to other side plates, so that they do not fall inward, and the lower ends of the side plates Since the rotation projections provided in are located in the horizontal groove of the lower metal fitting, the side plate does not come off the pallet. Therefore, the side plate is not separated from the pallet during the conveyance of the container.
