Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、前面の開口から内部に収納物を収納可能とする箱本体と、その箱本体の開口を開閉可能とする扉とより構成され、扉の開閉方向を左右変更できるとともに、扉に形成された把持片の位置を上下左右に変更可能とする収納箱に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来より、例えばキャビネットのように、前面に正面正方形状の開口を有し、その開口から内部に収納物を収納可能とする有底四角箱状をなす箱本体と、その箱本体の開口を開閉可能とする正面正方形状の扉とよりなる収納箱が知られている。この収納箱は、扉の左開き又は右開きを可能とするため、箱本体の開口を形成する左右両側壁の開口端部に軸挿通部を取付可能に形成されている。一方、扉の左右側辺部の裏面には前記軸挿通部と連結可能な軸受け部が形成され、さらに、扉の前面の右側辺中央部には扉の開閉動作を容易とするための把持片が形成されている。
【０００３】
そして、例えば箱本体の左側壁に軸挿通部を取り付け、その軸挿通部と扉の左側辺部裏面の軸受け部とに軸部材を挿通して連結すると、軸挿通部、軸受け部及び軸部材により連結部が形成される。箱本体の左端部に形成された連結部を中心として、扉が箱本体の右側から左側へ向けて開く左開きとなる状態で箱本体に取り付けられるとともに、収納箱が構成される。このとき、把持片は扉前面の右側辺中央部に配置されている。
【０００４】
一方、箱本体の右側壁に軸挿通部を取り付け、把持片が左側辺中央部に配置されるように扉をその周方向へ１８０度回転させた後、軸挿通部と軸受け部とを連結して連結部を形成する。その結果、箱本体の右端部に形成された連結部を中心として扉が箱本体の左側から右側へ向けて開く右開きとなる状態で箱本体に取り付けられるとともに、収納箱が構成される。把持片は扉前面の左側辺中央部に配置されている。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、上記従来構成の収納箱において、軸受け部は扉裏面の相対向する側辺部に形成されている。そのため、扉の開き方向を右又は左に変更したとき、把持片は扉前面の右側辺部又は左側辺部のいずれかに配置され、把持片が形成された扉の特定の一側辺部を扉の対向する側辺部のみにしか配置することができないという問題があった。
【０００６】
この発明は、このような従来技術に存在する問題点に着目してなされたものである。その目的とするところは、箱本体に対する扉の開き方向を変更可能とするとともに、扉の特定の一側辺部の位置を上下左右に変更可能とする構造を備えた収納箱を提供することにある。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するために、請求項１に記載の発明の収納箱は、正面正方形状の開口を前面に有する有底四角箱状をなす箱本体と、前記箱本体の開口を開閉可能とすべく同箱本体の開口側端部に取り付けられる正面正方形状をなす扉とより構成し、前記箱本体の開口側の左側辺部及び右側辺部に第１連結部を配置可能に設けるとともに、扉の隣接する側辺部に、前記第１連結部と連結可能な第２連結部を配置可能に設け、扉を周方向へ回転して所定位置で第２連結部を第１連結部に連結することにより、箱本体に取り付けられた扉の特定の一側辺部の位置を上下左右に変更可能に構成するとともに、扉の開き方向を左又は右へ変更可能に構成したことを特徴とするものである。
【０００８】
請求項２に記載の発明の収納箱は、請求項１に記載の発明において、前記箱本体同士を積み重ね可能に形成し、前記積み重ね状態における上側の箱本体の横方向への移動を規制すべく箱本体同士の間で凹凸関係により係合可能な係合手段を形成したことを特徴とするものである。
【０００９】
請求項３に記載の発明の収納箱は、請求項２に記載の発明において、前記積み重ね状態における上側の箱本体の上方向への移動を規制すべく箱本体同士の隣接する部位を挟持可能とする挟持手段を備えたことを特徴とするものである。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を家庭用の小物入れとして使用される収納箱に具体化した一実施形態を図面に従って説明する。なお、本実施形態における上下左右は図１の上下左右と対応し、図１で扉１３が取り付けられた面側を前側とし、その対向する面側を後側とする。
【００１１】
図１に示すように、収納箱１１は有底四角箱状をなす箱本体１２と、前記箱本体１２の開口を開閉可能とすべく同箱本体１２の開口側端部に取り付けられる正面正方形状をなす扉１３とより構成されている。
【００１２】
まず、箱本体１２について説明すると、図２及び図３に示すように、箱本体１２は平面正方形状の底壁１４と、その底壁１４の三側周縁部から上方へ立設された左側辺部としての左側壁１５ａ、右側辺部としての右側壁１５ｂ及び後側壁１５ｃと、それら各側壁１５ａ〜１５ｃの上端部に形成された天板１５ｄとより構成されている。そして、底壁１４、左右両側壁１５ａ，１５ｂ及び天板１５ｄの前端部により、箱本体１２の前面に正面正方形状の開口が形成されている。
【００１３】
箱本体１２の前後両端部の外周面には、箱本体１２の周方向に沿って延びる複数本の周面リブ１６が突設されている。そして、周面リブ１６により箱本体１２の前後部に、上下左右方向からの外力に対する所要の強度が付与されている。箱本体１２の前後方向に延びる上下各コーナ部に沿った位置には、前記相対向する周面リブ１６同士を繋ぐ架設リブ１７が形成され、それら架設リブ１７により、箱本体１２には前後方向からの外力に対する所要の強度が付与されている。
【００１４】
また、箱本体１２の天板１５ｄ上面には、前記周面リブ１６及び架設リブ１７によって囲まれた係合凹部１８が係合手段として形成されている。一方、図３に示すように、底壁１４下面の各コーナ部の内側には脚部１９が下方へ突設されているとともに、隣接する脚部１９同士を連結する連結リブ２０が下方へ突設されている。そして、前記脚部１９及び連結リブ２０により前記係合凹部１８に係合可能な係合突部２１が係合手段として形成されている。
【００１５】
箱本体１２の左右側壁１５ａ，１５ｂの前端部の上下部には、それぞれ各側壁１５ａ，１５ｂの前端面から内側面にかけて底壁１４方向へ凹設された取付孔２２が形成されている。各取付孔２２の内底面からは一対の取付片２２ａが前側へ延設され、各取付片２２ａにはそれぞれネジ孔２２ｂが形成されている。図２に示すように、左側壁１５ａ上部の取付孔２２には、その取付孔２２を閉塞すべく断面略コ字状の板材より形成された閉塞部材２３が嵌合される。使用される第１連結部、即ちジョイント部材２８が取り付けられた右側壁１５ｂと相対向する側辺部としての左側壁１５ａの下部の取付孔２２には第１接続部を形成する磁石２４を保持した接続部材としての磁石ケース２５が嵌合され、その磁石ケース２５により取付孔２２が閉塞される。
【００１６】
そして、磁石ケース２５に形成された一対の透孔２６から前記ネジ孔２２ｂに取付ビス（図示せず）が挿通され、さらに、取付片２２ａの裏側に配置された固定金具（図示せず）に形成された固定孔に取付ビスが螺合されて、図４に示すように、磁石ケース２５及び磁石２４が箱本体１２に取り付けられている。
【００１７】
右側壁１５ｂの上下両取付孔２２には、それぞれ第１連結部としてのジョイント部材２８が取り付けられている。図２に示すように、このジョイント部材２８は前記取付孔２２に嵌合可能な嵌合部２８ａと、同嵌合部２８ａ外面から円弧状に延びる延設部２８ｂと、その延設部２８ｂの先端部に形成された軸挿通部２８ｃとより形成されている。
【００１８】
嵌合部２８ａには、同嵌合部２８ａを取付孔２２に嵌合した状態において、前記ネジ孔２２ｂに対応する透孔（図示せず）が形成されている。そして、その透孔からネジ孔２２ｂに取付ビスが固定されて、図５に示すように、ジョイント部材２８が右側壁１５ｂに取り付けられている。ジョイント部材２８の右側壁１５ｂに対する取付状態において、軸挿通部２８ｃは右側壁１５ｂの前面に位置している。
【００１９】
次いで、前記扉１３について説明する。扉１３において、図１における左側を第１側辺部１３ａ、右側を第２側辺部１３ｂ、上側を第３側辺部１３ｃ、下側を第４側辺部１３ｄとして説明する。扉１３の前面には第１及び第２側辺部１３ａ，１３ｂに対して平行をなし、扉１３の上下方向へ延びる複数の突条１３ｅが間隔をおいて形成され、それら突条１３ｅにより扉１３前面に左右方向へ延びる波形状が形成されている。扉１３の左下コーナ部、即ち第１側辺部１３ａの下部には、扉１３の開閉動作を補助する補助手段としての把持片２９が突設されている。なお、本実施形態において、特定の一側辺部を第１側辺部１３ａとする。
【００２０】
図５に示すように、扉１３の裏面の四側周縁部には周縁リブ３０が立設されている。また、扉１３の隣接する第２側辺部１３ｂと第３側辺部１３ｃの裏面には、周縁リブ３０の内側面からそれぞれ相対向する一対の軸受け３１が第２連結部として２ヶ所ずつ形成されている。相対向する一対の軸受け３１間の長さは前記軸挿通部２８ｃの軸線方向への長さより若干長く形成され、さらに、中央部に軸孔（図示せず）が形成されている。また、隣接する第１側辺部１３ａと第４側辺部１３ｄの裏面において、周縁リブ３０の内側にはそれぞれ第２接続部としての磁石２４が取り付けられている。
【００２１】
扉１３の所定位置、即ち第２側辺部１３ｂの裏面に形成された各軸受け３１間に、箱本体１２の上下各ジョイント部材２８の軸挿通部２８ｃがそれぞれ配置されている。さらに、図４に示すように、各軸孔及び軸挿通部２８ｃに軸部材３１ａが挿通されて箱本体１２の開口側右端部に連結部３２が形成されている。そして、連結部３２を中心として扉１３が箱本体１２の開口を開閉可能に連結されているとともに、収納箱１１が構成されている。この収納箱１１は扉１３が箱本体１２の左側から右側に向けて開かれる右開きとなっているとともに、扉１３の左下コーナ部に把持片２９が配置されている。
【００２２】
さらに、扉１３を回動させて箱本体１２の開口を開き、箱本体１２内に、玩具、文房具等の家庭用小物が収容されて使用される。また、扉１３を回動させて開口を閉じたとき、箱本体１２の左側壁１５ａの下部の磁石２４と、扉１３の第１側辺部１３ａに取り付けられた磁石２４とが磁着、即ち接続して扉１３による開口の閉状態を維持する維持手段が構成されている。
【００２３】
図６に示すように、箱本体１２の係合凹部（図６に破線に示す）１８内に、別の箱本体１２の係合突部（図６に破線に示す）２１を係合することにより、２つの収納箱１１又は箱本体１２同士は積み重ね可能に構成されている。そして、係合凹部１８と係合突部２１との係合により、前記積み重ね状態における上側の収納箱１１又は箱本体１２の横方向への移動が規制されている。また、前記積載状態において、上側の箱本体１２の下部の架設リブ１７の下面と、下側の箱本体１２の上部の架設リブ１７の上面とは互いに面接触するように構成され、両架設リブ１７は挟持手段としてのクリップ３３により挟持可能に構成されている。
【００２４】
前記クリップ３３について説明すると、図７に示すように、クリップ３３は略平板状に形成され、その一側部には相対向する挟持片３３ａが形成されている。そして、図６に示すように、両架設リブ１７を一対の挟持片３３ａで挟持することにより、上側の箱本体１２の上方向への移動を規制することができる。
【００２５】
さて、図１に示すように、右開きの扉１３の前面の左下コーナ部に把持片２９が配置された収納箱１１を、左開きの扉１３前面の右下コーナ部に把持片２９を配置させる場合について、特定の一側辺部としての第１側辺部１３ａに着目して説明する。
【００２６】
まず、図１に示すように、第１側辺部１３ａが収納箱１１の左側辺部に配置されている状態において、軸部材３１ａを軸孔及び軸挿通部２８ｃから抜き取り、扉１３及びジョイント部材２８を箱本体１２から取り外す。次いで、左側壁１５ａの閉塞部材２３及び磁石ケース２５をそれぞれ取付孔２２から取り外す。次に、左側壁１５ａの両取付孔２２にジョイント部材２８を取り付けて配置し、右側壁１５ｂの上部取付孔２２に閉塞部材２３を、下部取付孔２２に磁石ケース２５を取り付ける。
【００２７】
続いて、図５に示す状態にある扉１３をその周方向へ９０度回転させ、図８に示すように、所定位置としての第３側辺部１３ｃの裏面に形成された各軸受け３１と、上下各ジョイント部材２８とを連結して箱本体１２の開口側左端部に連結部３２を形成する。その結果、連結部３２を中心として扉１３が箱本体１２の開口を開閉可能に連結されるとともに、収納箱１１が構成される。
【００２８】
この収納箱１１は扉１３が箱本体１２の右側から左側に向けて開かれる左開きとなり、把持片２９は扉１３前面の右下コーナ部に配置されている。また、収納箱１１の左側辺部にあった第１側辺部１３ａは扉１３の取付後、収納箱１１の下側辺部に配置されている。加えて、扉１３の閉状態において、箱本体１２の右側壁１５ｂの下部の磁石２４と、扉１３の第４側辺部１３ｄに取り付けられた磁石２４とが磁着して閉状態が維持される。
【００２９】
前記実施形態によって発揮される効果について、以下に記載する。
・扉１３裏面の隣接する第２及び第３側辺部１３ｂ，１３ｃに軸受け３１を形成したため、扉１３を周方向へ９０度づつ回転させることにより扉１３の特定の一側辺部の位置を上下左右に変更してジョイント部材２８と連結することができる。その結果、ジョイント部材２８の取付位置を変更し、扉１３をその周方向へ９０度回転させて連結することにより、扉１３の開き方向を変更することができるとともに、把持片２９が形成された一側辺部の位置を隣接する側辺部へ変更することができる。従って、把持片２９が形成された一側辺部を対向する側辺部にしか配置することができない従来と異なり、把持片２９の位置を上下左右に変更することができる。
【００３０】
・扉１３により箱本体１２の開口を閉じたとき、磁石２４同士が磁着して扉１３の閉状態を維持することができ、箱本体１２内の収納物を外部から視認不能とすることができる。
【００３１】
・磁石ケース２５が取り付けられない取付孔２２には閉塞部材２３が取り付けられ、取付孔２２の開口が閉塞されている。従って、開口から取付孔２２内に埃、ゴミ等が混入するのを防止することができ、埃、ゴミ等により取付孔２２へのジョイント部材２８等の取り付けが困難になるといった不具合をなくすことができる。また、扉１３を開けたとき、取付孔２２内を視認不能とすることができ、扉１３の開状態における収納箱１１の美観の低下を防止することができる。
【００３２】
・扉１３前面は波形状に形成されているため、収納箱１１に意匠性を付与することができるとともに、美観を向上させることができる。
・収納箱１１同士を積み重ねたとき、係合凹部１８と係合突部２１との係合により上側の収納箱１１の横方向への移動を規制することができ、扉１３の開閉動作や箱本体１２内への収納物の収納作業等を安定して行うことができる。
【００３３】
・係合凹部１８は周面リブ１６及び架設リブ１７に囲まれて形成され、係合突部２１は脚部１９を連結リブ２０で連結して形成されている。そのため、係合凹部１８及び係合突部２１は箱本体１２を構成する部材により形成され、それら係合凹部１８及び係合突部２１を別体で箱本体１２に設ける場合と比較して収納箱１１の製造コストの低減を図ることができる。
【００３４】
・収納箱１１同士を積み重ねたとき、上側の箱本体１２の架設リブ１７と、下側の箱本体１２の架設リブ１７とをクリップ３３により挟持可能に構成した。そのため、クリップ３３により、上側の収納箱１１の上方向への移動を規制することができ、係合突部２１と係合凹部１８との係合状態を維持することができる。
【００３５】
なお、本実施形態は、次のように変更して具体化することも可能である。
・磁石２４を省略して、収納箱１１から扉１３の閉状態を維持する維持手段を省略してもよい。
【００３６】
・実施形態では第１及び第２接続部としてそれぞれ磁石２４を使用し、磁石２４同士の磁着により、扉１３の閉状態を維持したが、磁石２４の代わりに第１及び第２接続部をそれぞれ面ファスナーにより形成して面ファスナー同士の接合により扉１３の閉状態を維持するように構成したもよい。また、磁石ケース２５と同形状をなすケース部材の外面に外方へ延びるとともに、先端側に外方へ突出する係止突部が形成された係止部材を形成し、その係止部材を取付孔２２に取り付けて第１接続部とし、扉１３の磁石２４が取り付けられた位置に前記係止突部が係止可能な係止孔を形成して第２接続部とする。そして、係止孔に対する係止突部との係止関係により維持手段を構成してもよい。また、係止突部を扉１３に設け、係止孔を箱本体１２に設けてもよい。
【００３７】
・実施形態では、把持片２９を補助手段としたが、扉１３前面の特定の一側辺部の側部又は中央部を凹設して指掛け部を形成し、その指掛け部を補助手段としてもよい。さらに、コ字状をなす把持片２９の両端部を扉１３前面の特定の一側辺部の側部又は中央部に取り付けて補助手段としてもよい。さらに、扉１３の一側辺裏面の周縁リブ３０を凹ませて指掛け部を形成し、補助手段としてもよい。加えて、実施形態の把持片２９を省略してもよい。
【００３８】
・扉１３の正面視で突条１３ｅが斜めに延びるべく突条１３ｅを形成してもよい。また、突条１３ｅを省略して扉１３前面を平滑面に形成してもよい。
・実施形態では挟持手段としてのクリップ３３を使用して積み重ねられた収納箱１１のうちの上側の収納箱１１の上方向への移動を規制したが、クリップ３３を省略して、係合凹部１８と係合突部２１との係合により上側の収納箱１１の横方向への移動のみを規制してもよい。実施形態ではクリップ３３を１つだけ使用したが、２つ以上使用してもよい。
【００３９】
また、各架設リブ１７にボルト挿通孔を形成し、収納箱１１を上下に積載したとき、上側の箱本体１２の下部に形成された架設リブ１７のボルト挿通孔と、下側の箱本体１２の上部に形成された架設リブ１７のボルト挿通孔とを対応させる。そして、両ボルト挿通孔にボルトを挿通するとともに、そのボルトにナットを螺合して挟持手段を構成してもよい。
【００４０】
・実施形態では箱本体１２上面に係合凹部１８を形成し、箱本体１２の下面に係合突部２１を形成したが、箱本体１２の下面の４つの脚部１９の内側を係合凹部１８として形成し、箱本体１２の上面に４つの脚部１９の内側に係合可能な係合突部２１を形成してもよい。
【００４１】
・図９に示すように、箱本体１２の右側壁１５ｂに取り付けられたジョイント部材２８と、扉１３の第３側辺部１３ｃの裏面に形成された各軸受け３１とを連結し、扉１３の閉状態で把持片２９を扉１３前面の左上コーナ部に配置してもよい。また、扉１３の閉状態において、箱本体１２の左側壁１５ａの上部の磁石２４と、扉１３の第４側辺部１３ｄに取り付けられた磁石２４とが磁着して閉状態が維持される。
【００４２】
・また、箱本体１２の左側壁１５ａに取り付けられたジョイント部材２８と、扉１３の第２側辺部１３ｂの裏面に形成された各軸受け３１とを連結してもよい。また、扉１３の閉状態において、把持片２９を扉１３前面の右上コーナ部に配置し、箱本体１２の右側壁１５ｂの上部の磁石２４と、扉１３の第１側辺部１３ａに取り付けられた磁石２４とが磁着して閉状態を維持してもよい。
【００４３】
・実施形態では２個の収納箱１１を積み重ねたが、２個の収納箱１１を左右に並べ、左側の箱本体１２の右上部に位置する架設リブ１７と、右側の箱本体１２の左上部に位置する架設リブ１７とをクリップ３３により挟持して収納箱１１の横方向への移動を規制してもよい。
【００４４】
・図１０に示すように、扉１３の波形状が左右方向へ延び、把持片２９が右上コーナ部に配置された収納箱１１の右隣に、扉１３の波形状が上下方向へ延び、把持片２９が左上コーナ部に配置された収納箱１１を配置する。次いで、左側の収納箱１１の上に、扉１３の波形状が上下方向へ延び、把持片２９が右下コーナ部に配置された収納箱１１を配置する。さらに、右側の収納箱１１の上に、扉１３の波形状が左右方向へ延び、把持片２９が左下コーナ部に配置された収納箱１１を配置する。
【００４５】
そして、上下に積載された収納箱１１同士及び左右に隣接する収納箱１１同士をクリップ３３により位置決めして集合体を構成してもよい。このとき、４つの把持片２９が集合体の中央部に集まるように扉１３が箱本体１２に取り付けられ、各扉１３をそれぞれ集合体の中央から外方へ開くことができる。また、扉１３の波形状の延びる方向を左右上下互いに交差するように配置することができ、集合体の正面視において意匠性を付与することができる。
【００４６】
・実施形態では、箱本体１２にジョイント部材２８を取り付け、扉１３に軸受け３１を形成したが、扉１３にジョイント部材２８を取り付けて扉１３に第２接続部を設け、箱本体１２に軸受け３１を形成して第１接続部を設けてもよい。
【００４７】
・実施形態では、箱本体１２の左側壁１５ａ又は右側壁１５ｂにジョイント部材２８を取り付けたが、左右両側壁１５ａ，１５ｂにジョイント部材２８を取り付けてもよい。また、実施形態ではジョイント部材２８を２個使用したが、扉１３に軸受け３１を１ヶ所又は３ヶ所以上形成するとともに、ジョイント部材２８を１個又は３個以上使用して、連結部３２を１ヶ所又は３ヶ所以上形成してもよい。
【００４８】
・実施形態では、軸受け３１を扉１３の隣接する第２側辺部１３ｂと第３側辺部１３ｃの裏面に設けたが、軸受け３１を扉１３に対して着脱可能に設ける。そして、例えば、第２側辺部１３ｂとジョイント部材２８とを連結するとき、その第２側辺部１３ｂに軸受け３１を取り付け、第３側辺部１３ｃの軸受け３１を扉１３から取り外してもよい。従って、把持片２９の位置及び扉１３の開き方向に対応して第２側辺部１３ｂ又は第３側辺部１３ｃに軸受け３１を取り付けてもよい。
【００４９】
・実施形態では、ジョイント部材２８の透孔から取付孔２２のネジ孔２２ｂに取付ビスを固定して、ジョイント部材２８を各側壁１５ａ，１５ｂに取り付けるように形成したが、ジョイント部材２８を取付ビスを使用せずに側壁１５ａ，１５ｂのいずれかに取り付けてもよい。
【００５０】
具体的には、図１１に示すように、ジョイント部材２８は前記取付孔２２を被覆した状態で各側壁１５ａ，１５ｂに取り付けられる取付部３４を備えている。その取付部３４の取付本体３４ａにおける表面からは円弧状に延びる前記延設部２８ｂが形成され、その延設部２８ｂの先端部には前記軸挿通部２８ｃが形成されている。
【００５１】
前記取付部３４は、略長方体状をなす取付本体３４ａと、同取付本体３４ａの長さ方向における一側縁部に沿って延びる取付縁部３４ｂとより形成されている。前記取付本体３４ａの裏面における両端部には、それぞれ係合突起３４ｃが突設され、各係合突起３４ｃは前記ネジ孔２２ｂに係合可能に形成されている。また、取付部３４の裏面中央部において、取付縁部３４ｂの長さ方向における他側縁部と相対向する位置には係止片３４ｄが形成されている。さらに、取付縁部３４ｂの裏面における両端部にはそれぞれ係合突条３４ｅが形成されている。
【００５２】
さて、図１２に示すように、上記構成のジョイント部材２８を例えば右側壁１５ｂの取付孔２２に取付けるには、まず、取付本体３４ａの外周縁を取付孔２２の内周縁に沿って配置するとともに、取付本体３４ａの他側縁部と係止片３４ｄとの間に取付片２２ａの中央部の凹んだ部分が入り込むように係止片３４ｄを取付片２２ａの裏側へ配置する。続いて、ジョイント部材２８を右側壁１５ｂ側へ押圧すると、係合突起３４ｃがネジ孔２２ｂに係合されるとともに、係合突条３４ｅが取付片２２ａの先端縁部の裏側に係合されて取付孔２２と取付本体３４ａ、即ち取付孔２２とジョイント部材２８との間に係合関係が形成される。
【００５３】
その結果、前記係合関係によりジョイント部材２８が取付孔２２に取り付けられ、ジョイント部材２８が右側壁１５ｂに取り付けられる。従って、ジョイント部材２８を取付ビスを使用せずに右側壁１５ｂに取付固定することができ、箱本体１２に対するジョイント部材２８の取付作業、ひいては箱本体１２に対する扉１３の取付作業の簡易化を図ることができる。
【００５４】
・実施形態では、磁石ケース２５の透孔２６から取付孔２２のネジ孔２２ｂに取付ビスを固定して、磁石ケース２５を各側壁１５ａ，１５ｂのいずれかに取り付けるように形成したが、磁石ケース２５を取付ビスを使用せずに側壁１５ａ，１５ｂのいずれかに取り付けてもよい。
【００５５】
具体的には、図１３（ａ）に示すように、磁石ケース２５は取付孔２２を閉塞すべく板材の両端側が互いに相対向するように屈曲部分が形成されて断面略コ字状に形成されている。図１３（ａ）に破線に示すように、磁石ケース２５の内面において、磁石ケース２５の長さ方向における両端側には、それぞれ磁石ケース２５の幅方向全体に沿って延びる突条２５ａが形成されている。
【００５６】
図１３（ｂ）に示すように、磁石ケース２５の屈曲部分のうち、短い側の屈曲部分の内側に形成された各突条２５ａには、それぞれ磁石ケース２５の内方へ突出する係合突体２５ｂが形成されている。
【００５７】
さて、図１４に示すように、磁石ケース２５を例えば右側壁１５ｂに取り付けるには、磁石ケース２５の屈曲部分のうち長い側の屈曲部分を箱本体１２の内側へ配置するとともに、短い側の屈曲部分を取付片２２ａの裏側へ配置する。続いて、磁石ケース２５を右側壁１５ｂ奥方へ押圧すると、係合突体２５ｂが前記ネジ孔２２ｂに係合され、係合突体２５ｂとネジ孔２２ｂとの係合により係合関係が形成される。
【００５８】
その結果、前記係合関係により磁石ケース２５が取付孔２２に取り付けられ、磁石ケース２５が右側壁１５ｂに取り付けられる。従って、磁石ケース２５を取付ビスを使用せずに右側壁１５ｂに取付固定することができ、箱本体１２に対する磁石ケース２５の取付作業の簡易化を図ることができる。なお、磁石ケース２５に形成した突条２５ａ及び係合突体２５ｂを閉塞部材２３に形成し、閉塞部材２３を取付ビスを使用せずに各側壁１５ａ，１５ｂのいずれかに取り付けてもよい。
【００５９】
・図１５に示すように、箱本体１２の開口端部の全周に亘って枠体３５を取り付けて、箱本体１２に扉１３を取り付けない状態では枠体３５により各取付孔２２を閉塞してもよい。

前記枠体３５は合成樹脂材料により正面四角枠状に形成された枠本体３６より形成されている。図１６（ａ）に示すように、枠本体３６の内周縁からは同枠本体３６の裏側（後側）へ延びる四角枠状をなす内枠３６ａが形成されている。図１５に示すように、前記内枠３６ａは枠体３５を箱本体１２に取り付けたとき、箱本体１２の開口端部の内側へ入り込むように形成されている。
【００６１】
一方、図１６（ａ）に示すように、枠本体３６の外周縁からは同枠本体３６の裏側（後側）へ延びる四角枠状をなす外枠３６ｂが形成されている。図１５に示すように、前記外枠３６ｂの端面は枠体３５を箱本体１２に取り付けたとき、箱本体１２の開口側端面に当接し、外枠３６ｂの外面と箱本体１２の開口側の周面リブ１６の外端面とほぼ面一となるように形成されている。また、外枠３６ｂの枠本体３６の裏側への突出長さは内枠３６ａの突出長さより短くなっている。図１６（ａ）に示すように、前記内枠３６ａの外周面と外枠３６ｂの内周面との間には間隙が形成されている。
【００６２】
枠本体３６の相対向する一対の側辺（図１６（ａ）では左右に相対向する側辺）における間隙には、図１６（ｂ）に示すように、それぞれ枠本体３６の裏面（後面）から同枠本体３６の裏側（後側）へ横Ｕ字状に延びる挿入片３６ｃが一対ずつ形成されている。図１６（ａ）に示すように、各挿入片３６ｃの両先端部における内枠３６ａ側の外面には、それぞれ内枠３６ａ側へ突出する取付突部３６ｄが形成されている。また、前記間隙内において、内枠３６ａの外面から外枠３６ｂの内面に連続的に延びる補強リブ３６ｅが複数箇所に形成されている。
【００６３】
さて、上記構成の枠体３５を箱本体１２に取り付けるには、図１５に破線に示すように、枠本体３６の各挿入片３６ｃを箱本体１２の左側壁１５ａ及び右側壁１５ｂに対応するように周方向へ回転させ、さらに、図１７に示すように、各挿入片３６ｃを対応する取付孔２２における取付片２２ａの裏側へ挿入する。すると、内枠３６ａが箱本体１２の開口端部の内側に入り込むとともに、外枠３６ｂの端面が箱本体１２の開口側端面に当接される。それと同時に、各挿入片３６ｃの取付突部３６ｄが取付片２２ａのネジ孔２２ｂに係合される。そして、ネジ孔２２ｂと取付突部３６ｄとにより係合関係が形成され、その係合関係により枠体３５が箱本体１２に取り付けられる。
【００６４】
図１５に示すように、枠体３５の箱本体１２に対する取付状態において、各側壁１５ａ，１５ｂの内面側に開口する取付孔２２は内枠３６ａにより被覆され、開口側端面に開口する取付孔２２は枠本体３６の前面により被覆される。従って、箱本体１２に扉１３が取り付けられていない状態において、枠体３５により全ての取付孔２２を被覆して取付孔２２内に埃、ゴミ等が混入するのを防止することができる。その結果、埃、ゴミ等により取付孔２２へのジョイント部材２８等の取り付けが困難になるといった不具合をなくすことができる。また、各取付孔２２にそれぞれ閉塞部材２３を一つずつ取り付ける場合と比較して、一度に全ての取付孔２２を被覆することができ、取付孔２２を閉塞する作業効率を向上させることができる。
