Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、収納物を相互に独立した状態で保持することができる搬送用梱包装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来から複数の収納物を収納容器に入れて搬送することが行われている。例えば、工場あるいは搬送センターにおいて収納容器内に同梱する複数の収納物を収納容器の上開口から一つずつ中に入れ、下段の収納物の上に上段の収納物を重ねて収納するようにしている。また、収納物を取り出した空の収納容器は再び、収納のために利用し、何度でも繰り返し使用するようになっている。
【０００３】
上記のような従来例においては、工場あるいは搬送センターにおいて収納容器内に収納物を入れるに当たって、収納容器内において収納物同士を重ねて収納するため、収納物同士が直接接触して傷付かないように段ボールにより各収納物を個別に梱包した状態で収納容器内において重ねて収納するようになっている。
【０００４】
ところが、収納物を取り出した後は、収納物を個別に梱包していた段ボールは不要となり、廃棄物として廃棄しているのが現状であり、これらの廃棄段ボールはごみ回収、環境、資源保護といった面で大きな問題となっており、また、工場や配送センターにおいては、収納物を個別に段ボールで梱包する必要があり、また、搬送先では個別の収納物をそれぞれ段ボールの梱包から解梱する必要があり、手間がかかると共にコストも高くなるという問題がある。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、複数の収納物を同梱するに当たり、収納物同士が直接重複しないようにでき、また、収納物同士が直接重複しないように同梱するに当たり、収納作業、取り出し作業が簡単にできる搬送用梱包装置を提供することを課題とするものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る搬送用梱包装置は、底枠１の少なくとも一対の辺に沿って側枠２を立設し、縦枠１１に複数の受け部材３を回動自在に取付け、一対の側枠２にそれぞれ上記縦枠１１を着脱自在に取付けて、回動自在な受け部材３を水平姿勢と側枠２に沿う略垂直姿勢とが選択できるように一対の側枠２の対向面に配置すると共に受け部材３を水平姿勢にした状態を保持するための水平姿勢保持手段４を設けて成ることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、収納物７を収納する際に受け部材３が邪魔になる場合には受け部材３を側枠２に沿う略垂直姿勢にして収納物７を収納し、当該受け部材３に収納物７を載置して収納する際には受け部材３を水平姿勢にして水平姿勢保持手段４で水平姿勢を保持した状態で当該受け部材３上に収納物７を載置することができ、これにより当該受け部材３の下方位置に収納する収納物７と当該受け部材３上に載置する収納物７とが直接当接しないように収納でき、このように収納物７同士が上下に直接重複するもののように収納物７を段ボールにより梱包して収納しなくてもよいものである。収納物７の取り出しに当たっては、当該受け部材３上に載置している収納物７を取り出した後に、受け部材３を略垂直姿勢にし、その後、下方の収納物７を取り出すことで、下方の収納物７上を擦りながら上段の収納物７を取り出すというようなことがないものである。また、縦枠１１に複数の受け部材３を取付け、該縦枠１１を側枠２に対して着脱自在としてあるので、受け部材３の無い搬送用梱包装置Ａにも簡単に縦枠１１を取付けることで受け部材３付きの搬送用梱包装置Ａとすることができるものであり、また、受け部材３を必要としない場合には縦枠１１を側枠２から外すことで、受け部材３無しの搬送用梱包装置Ａとすることができるものであり、また、収納物７の種類、大きさ等に応じて最適の受け部材３を備えた縦枠１１を選んで側枠２ａに取付けることで、収納物７の種類や大きさに応じた最適の収納ができるものである。
【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。
【００１７】
搬送用梱包装置Ａは底枠１の少なくとも一対の辺に沿って側枠２を立設して主体を構成してある。添付図面に示す実施形態では平面視矩形状をした底枠１の４辺に側枠２を立設して搬送用梱包装置Ａの主体を構成してある。
【００１８】
２対の側枠２のうち一対の側枠２ａは底枠１に対して起倒自在に取付けてあり、他の一対の側枠２ｂは底枠１又は上記一対の側枠２ａに対して取り外し自在となっている。
【００１９】
一対の側枠２ａはそれぞれ両側の支柱１２の上部間及び下部間に上横枠１３、下横枠１４を架設一体化して枠組みし、この枠組みした部分に囲まれた部分に網１５を張設して構成してあり、両側の支柱１２の下端部の対向する側面部には軸挿入孔が設けてあると共に該対向する側面部の軸挿入孔のやや上方位置に係合突起１７が突設してあり、また、支柱１２の上端部の他の対向する側面部にはピン嵌め込み孔１８が設けてあり、更に、この支柱１２の他の対向する側面部のうちの片側の側面部の上下方向の略中間部分には２つの突片１９が横方向に隙間を介して並べて突設してあり、この２つの突片１９は更に上下にずれている。
【００２０】
他の一対の側枠２ｂは上枠体２ｂ１と下枠体２ｂ２とを枢支部２０により折り畳み自在に連結して構成してあり、図９に示すように、上枠体２ｂ１の両側の上端部にロックピン２１を横方向に突出自在に取付けてある。
【００２１】
底枠１の上面部の４隅には水平断面コ字状をした側枠支持部２２が立設してあり、図８に示すように、側枠支持部２２の両側片２２ａには縦長孔２２ｂが設けてあり、更に両側片２２ａの上端縁部には係合凹所２２ｃが設けてある。また、水平断面コ字状をした側枠支持部２２の両側片２２ａのうち外側の側片２２ａから側枠支持片２２ｄが延設してある。底枠１の上面部には水平断面コ字状をした側枠支持部２２の中央片２２ｅに対向してコ字状の入口に下突部２３が突設してあり、この下突部２３と側枠支持片２２ｄとの間に図９に示すように側枠嵌め込み隙間２４が形成してある。また、底枠１にはフォークリフトのフォークを差し込み自在としたフォーク挿入孔部３７が設けてある。なお、底枠１には必要に応じてキャスタを取付けてもよい。
【００２２】
一方の一対の側枠２ａは両側の支柱１２の下端部を水平断面コ字状をした側枠支持部２２内に嵌め込んであって、軸２５により縦長孔２２ｂ、軸挿入孔を軸支することで、支柱１２を縦長孔２２ｂに沿って上下に移動自在としてあり、支柱１２を起立させた状態では軸２５が縦長孔２２ｂの下端部に位置し、水平断面コ字状をした側枠支持部２２内にはめ込まれた支柱１２の側面の下端が下突部２３に当たり、また、係合突起１７が係合凹所２２に係合し、これにより支柱１２が倒れないように保持される。この状態で支柱１２を上方に持ち上げ、軸２５が縦長孔２２ｂの上端部に位置すると支柱１２の側面の下端が下突部２３よりも上方に位置し、また、係合突起１７が係合凹所２２から外れて上方に位置するので、支柱１２を軸２５を中心に回動して倒し（つまり側枠２ａを倒し）て底枠１上に重ねることができるようになっている。
【００２３】
他方の一対の側枠２ｂは、下枠体２ｂ２の両側端部をそれぞれ２つの突片１９間に嵌め込み、下端部を図９（ａ）に示すように側枠嵌め込み隙間２４に嵌め込むことで起立させ、更に、図９（ｂ）に示すように上枠体２ｂ１を起立させてロックピン２１を突出させてピン嵌め込み孔１８に嵌め込むことで一対の側枠２ａと底枠１に他方の一対の側枠２ａを取り外し自在に取付けるようになっている。
【００２４】
底枠１に起倒自在に取付けられる一対の側枠２ａの対向面には受け部材３が取付けられる。ここで、本発明においては、受け部材３は枠図１、図２に示すように縦枠１１に回動自在に取付けてあり、この受け部材３を取付けた縦枠１１を側枠２ａに着脱自在に取付けてある。
【００２５】
縦枠１１は図３に示すように矩形状をしており、上下方向に複数個の受け部材３を回動自在に取付けてある。この縦枠１１の上部の後面側には下方に開口した断面コ字状の上嵌め込み部２６が設けてあり、縦枠１１の下部後面側には下方に開口した断面コ字状の下嵌め込み部２７が設けてあり、上嵌め込み部２６乃至下嵌め込み部２７には止めねじ３５が螺合してある。
【００２６】
受け部材３は図３に示すようなもので、受け部材３を水平姿勢にした状態で、受け板部２８の後部の両端部に軸受け片２９を上方に向けて突設してあり、この軸受け片２９の後部は受け板部２８の後端よりも後方に向けて突出している。軸受け片２９には前後方向に向けて長孔３０が設けてあり、長孔３０の後部は受け板部２８の後端部よりも後方側に位置し且つ長孔３０の前部は受け板部２８の後端部よりも前方側に位置している。受け板部２８の両端部には更に上方に向けて巾方向ずれ防止片３１が突設してあり、更に、受け板部２８の巾方向の中間部の後部側寄りには長手方向ずれ防止片３２が突設してあり、この長手方向ずれ防止片３２は上端側程後方となるように傾斜している。そして、上記巾方向ずれ防止片３１、長手方向ずれ防止片３２が受け部材３の受け板部２８上に収納物７を載置した際に収納物７のずれを防止して位置を保持する位置保持部８を構成している。受け板部２８と巾方向ずれ防止片３１、長手方向ずれ防止片３２にはそれぞれ収納物７が当たる部位にゴムのような緩衝材９が取着してある。また、巾方向ずれ防止片３１にはバンド挿入孔３３が設けてある。受け板部２８の後端部には軸受け片２９と反対側（つまり下方）に向けて当たり部３４を垂設してある。この当たり部３４は長孔３０の長手方向の略中間位置の下方に位置している。当たり部３４には補強部３４ａを設けてある。両バンド挿入孔３３には図５に示すように１本のゴム製の帯状のバンド１０を通し、帯状のバンド１０の両端部同士を面状ファスナのような接続手段により接続して２重にしてある。
【００２７】
縦枠１１の両側の外面側には軸固定部が設けてあり、受け部材３の後端部の両端の軸受け片２９の内面をそれぞれ軸固定部に当て、この状態で長孔３０より軸となるねじ具３６を挿入して軸固定部にねじ込み固着することで、枠体１１に受け部材３を軸となるねじ具３６を中心に回動自在に取付けてある。このようにして枠体１１に上下方向に複数段に受け部材３を回動自在に取付けてある。
【００２８】
受け部材３を水平姿勢に倒した状態で、軸となるねじ具３６部分に横向きとなった長孔３０の後端が位置し且つ当たり部３４が縦枠１１の側面に当接して受け部材３が水平姿勢に保持される。したがって、本実施形態においては上記ねじ具３６、長孔３０、当たり部３４、縦枠１１等により受け部材３を水平姿勢にした状態を保持するための水平姿勢保持手段４を構成してある。
【００２９】
受け部材３を上記のような水平姿勢から略垂直姿勢にするに当たっては、軸となるねじ具３６に長孔３０の後端を位置させたままの状態で受け部材３を上方に持ち上げながら略９０°回動して略垂直姿勢にし、その後、受け部材３を垂直姿勢のまま下降させることで長孔３０をねじ具３６に沿って下方に移動させ、長孔３０の前端をねじ具３６に当接させる。この状態ではねじ具３６位置よりも下方において当たり部３４の突出基部である受け板部２８の後端が縦枠１１の側面に当たり、この略垂直姿勢において受け部材３が回動するのが防止されて略垂直姿勢が保持される。したがって本実施形態においては、長孔３０、ねじ具３６、当たり部３４、縦枠１１等により略垂直姿勢保持手段５が構成してある。
【００３０】
上記のような構成の受け部材３を取付けた縦枠１１は、上嵌め込み部２６、下嵌め込み部２７をそれぞれ側枠２ａの上横枠１３、下横枠１４に上方より嵌め込み、止めねじ３５を螺進させて上横枠１３又は下横枠１４の下面直下に突出させることで、上横枠１３又は下横枠１４に対して縦枠１１が上方に抜けないように取付けるものである。このようにして対向する一対の側枠２の内面側（対向面側）に巾方向に複数列縦枠１１を取付けることで、対向する一対の側枠２にはそれぞれ上下方向に複数段に且つ巾方向に複数列対向して受け部材３が取付けられるものである。
【００３１】
しかして上記のような構成の搬送用梱包装置Ａに収納物を収納して搬送するには以下のようにして行うものである。
【００３２】
受け部材３を取付けた一対の側枠２ａを前述のようにして底枠１に対して起立させ、他の一対の側枠２ｂは２つとも取り外しておくか、または一つの側枠２ｂは前述のようにして底枠１及び側枠２ａに起立姿勢で取付けると共に他の一つの側枠２ｂのみ取り外した状態とし、この状態で、各両側で一対となった受け部材３にそれぞれ収納物７の両端部を独立して載設支持させるものである。この時収納物７を載設する際に下側、奥側に位置する受け部材３から、上側、手前側に位置する受け部材３にかけて順に収納物７を載設支持していくものであり、下側、奥側に位置する受け部材３に収納物７を載設する際にはこれよりも上側、手前側の受け部材３は起立させて側枠２に沿う略垂直姿勢にしておくことで他の受け部材３に邪魔されることなく、水平に倒した下側、奥側の受け部材３に収納物７を支持させることができるものである。上記のように受け部材３に収納物７の端部を載置する際にゴム製のバンド１０を引っ張って伸ばした状態でバンド１０内に収納物７の端部を入れ、載置後にバンド１０を離してバンド１０により受け部材３に載置した収納物７を弾性的に保持するものである。ここで、収納物７は巾方向ずれ防止片３１、長手方向ずれ防止片３２によりそれぞれ巾方向、長手方向のずれ防止を行うものである。
【００３３】
このように、下側、奥側から順に上側、手前側にかけてそれぞれ複数の受け部材３に独立して収納物７を載置し、収納が完了すると、取り外していた側枠２ｂを前述のようにして底枠１、側枠２ａに取付け、この状態で、現場に搬送し、現場において、側枠２ｂを取り外し、上記と逆の順序、つまり、上側、手前側の受け部材３に収納した収納物７から、下側、奥側の受け部材３にかけて順に収納物を取り出していくものであり、この際、収納物７を取り出した受け部材３は起立させて側枠２に沿う略垂直姿勢にしておくことで上側、奥側の受け部材３に邪魔されることなく下側、奥側の受け部材３に支持した収納物７の取り出しが容易に行えるものである。
【００３４】
ここで、一つの側枠２ｂのみを取り外した例で説明すると、例えば、受け部材３が奧、中、手前側に３段ずつ３列ある場合には、奧の下段→中段→上段の順で収納物７を収納し、次に、中央の下段→中段→上段の順に収納物７を収納し、次に手前側の下段、→中段→上段の順で収納物を収納するものであり、取り出す際には上記と逆の順序で取り出すものである。
【００３５】
上記のようにして各受け部材３にそれぞれ独立して収納物７を収納するので、収納物７同士を直接積み重ねて収納する必要がなく、このため、収納物７を従来のように段ボールにより梱包した状態で収納する必要がないものであり、したがって、梱包材としての段ボールを使わないので、ごみの発生を防止し、省資源が図れるものである。
【００３６】
搬送用梱包装置Ａを使用しない場合には、受け部材３を設けていない他の一対の側枠２ｂを取り外し、受け部材３を側枠２ａに沿うように略垂直姿勢にした状態で該側枠２ａを倒して底枠１上面側に重ね、その後、取り外した方の側板２ｂを２つ折りに折り畳んだ状態で図のように倒した側板２ａの上に重ねて嵩の低いコンパクトな状態とし、この状態で保管したり、搬送したりできるものである。
【００３７】
ところで、縦枠１１は、収納物７の種類、大きさ等に対応して受け部材３の大きさや受け部材３の取付け数や取付け位置の異なるものを複数種類用意しておくものであり、収納物７の種類、大きさ等に応じて最適の受け部材３を備えた縦枠１１を選んで側枠２ａに取付けるものであり、これにより多種類の収納物７を収納物７同士が直接重ならないようにして収納することができるものである。
【００３８】
また、縦枠１１を側枠２ａから取り外すと、受け部材３の無い状態で搬送用梱包装置Ａに従来と同様にして収納物７を収納することも可能となるものである。
【００３９】
なお、上記実施形態では矩形状をした底枠１の４辺に沿ってそれぞれ側枠２を立設した例で説明したが、底枠１の対向する一対の辺にのみ沿って受け部材３を設けた側枠２を立設して他の一対の辺に沿った側枠２は設けないものであってもよいものである。
【００４０】
また、図示を省略しているが、搬送用梱包装置Ａの上開口部には収納した収納物７の保護のために着脱自在に蓋枠を取付けるようにしてもよいものである。
【００４１】
【発明の効果】
上記のように本発明の請求項１記載の発明にあっては、底枠の少なくとも一対の辺に沿って側枠を立設し、縦枠に複数の受け部材を回動自在に取付け、一対の側枠にそれぞれ上記縦枠を着脱自在に取付けて、回動自在な受け部材を水平姿勢と側枠に沿う略垂直姿勢とが選択できるように一対の側枠の対向面に配置すると共に受け部材を水平姿勢にした状態を保持するための水平姿勢保持手段を設けたので、収納物を収納する際に受け部材が邪魔になる場合には受け部材を側枠に沿う略垂直姿勢にして収納物を収納し、当該受け部材に収納物を載置して収納する際には受け部材を水平姿勢にして水平姿勢保持手段で水平姿勢を保持した状態で当該受け部材上に収納物を載置することができ、これにより当該受け部材の下方位置に収納する収納物と当該受け部材上に載置する収納物とが直接当接しないように収納できるものであり、また、収納物の取り出しに当たっては、当該受け部材上に載置している収納物を取り出した後に、受け部材を略垂直姿勢にし、その後、下方の収納物を取り出すことで、下方の収納物上を擦りながら上段の収納物を取り出すというようなことがないものであって、複数の収納物を収納物同士が簡単な構成で重複しないように収納できるとともに収納、取り出し作業が容易に行えるものである。しかも、上記のように収納物同士が上下に直接重複しないので、収納物同士が上下に直接重複するもののように収納物を段ボールにより梱包して収納しなくてもよく、梱包資材としての使い捨ての段ボールの使用がないのでごみ回収、環境、資源保護の面で有益であり、また、収納物を個別に段ボールで梱包・解梱する手間が必要でないのでコスト低減が図れるものである。しかも、縦枠に複数の受け部材を取付け、該縦枠を側枠に対して着脱自在としてあるので、受け部材の無い搬送用梱包装置にも簡単に縦枠を取付けることで受け部材付きの搬送用梱包装置とすることができるものであり、また、受け部材を必要としない場合には縦枠を側枠から外すことで、受け部材無しの搬送用梱包装置とすることができるものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a transport packaging apparatus that can hold stored items in an independent state.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a plurality of stored items are transported in a storage container. For example, in a factory or a transportation center, a plurality of items to be packed in a storage container are put into the storage container one by one from the upper opening, and the upper storage item is stored on top of the lower storage item. ing. In addition, the empty storage container from which the stored items are taken out is used again for storage and is used again and again.
[0003]
In the conventional example as described above, when the stored items are put into the storage container in the factory or the transport center, the stored items are stored in the storage container so that the stored items do not come into direct contact with each other to be damaged. In addition, each stored item is individually packed by cardboard and stored in a storage container.
[0004]
However, after removing the stored items, the corrugated cardboard that individually packed the stored items is no longer needed and is discarded as waste. These discarded cardboards are used for garbage collection, environmental protection, and resource protection. In the factory or distribution center, it is necessary to pack the items individually in cardboard boxes, and it is necessary to unpack each item in the cardboard box at the destination. There is a problem that it takes time and costs.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and when bundling a plurality of items to be stored, the items to be stored cannot be directly overlapped with each other, and the items to be stored are not directly overlapped with each other. In this case, it is an object of the present invention to provide a transport packaging apparatus that can easily perform a storing operation and a taking-out operation.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the transport packaging apparatus according to the present invention has a side frame 2 erected along at least a pair of sides of the bottom frame 1, and a plurality of receiving members 3 can be rotated on the vertical frame 11. The pair of side frames 2 is attached so that the vertical frame 11 is detachably attached to the pair of side frames 2 so that the pivotable receiving member 3 can be selected between a horizontal posture and a substantially vertical posture along the side frame 2. And a horizontal posture holding means 4 for holding the receiving member 3 in a horizontal posture. With such a configuration, when the receiving member 3 becomes an obstacle when storing the storage item 7, the receiving member 3 is placed in a substantially vertical posture along the side frame 2 to store the storage item 7. When the stored item 7 is placed on the member 3 and stored, the received member 3 is placed on the receiving member 3 in a state where the receiving member 3 is placed in a horizontal posture and the horizontal posture holding means 4 holds the horizontal posture. Thus, the stored items 7 stored below the receiving member 3 and the stored items 7 placed on the receiving member 3 can be stored so that they do not directly contact each other. However, it is not necessary to pack the stored items 7 by corrugated cardboard, such as those directly overlapping in the vertical direction. In taking out the stored item 7, after taking out the stored item 7 placed on the receiving member 3, the receiving member 3 is set to a substantially vertical posture, and thereafter, the lower stored item 7 is taken out, so that There is no such thing as taking out the upper storage item 7 while rubbing on the storage item 7. Further, since the plurality of receiving members 3 are attached to the vertical frame 11 and the vertical frame 11 is detachable from the side frame 2, the vertical frame 11 can be easily attached to the transport packaging apparatus A without the receiving member 3. In this case, it is possible to provide a transport packaging apparatus A with the receiving member 3, and when the receiving member 3 is not required, the vertical frame 11 is removed from the side frame 2, so that the receiving member 3 is not provided. It can be used as a transporting packing device A, and by selecting the vertical frame 11 provided with the optimum receiving member 3 according to the type, size, etc. of the stored item 7 and attaching it to the side frame 2a, Optimum storage according to the type and size of the storage 7 can be performed.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0017]
The transport packaging apparatus A is configured by a side frame 2 standing up along at least a pair of sides of the bottom frame 1. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the side frame 2 is erected on the four sides of a bottom frame 1 having a rectangular shape in plan view to constitute the main body of the transport packaging apparatus A.
[0018]

[0019]
Each of the pair of side frames 2a forms an upper frame 13 and a lower horizontal frame 14 between the upper and lower portions of the support columns 12 on both sides, and a net 15 is stretched around the framed portion. A shaft insertion hole is provided in the opposite side surface portion of the lower end portion of the support column 12 on both sides, and an engagement protrusion 17 is provided at a position slightly above the shaft insertion hole in the opposite side surface portion. In addition, a pin fitting hole 18 is provided in the other opposing side surface portion of the upper end portion of the support column 12, and the upper and lower sides of one of the other opposing side surface portions of the support column 12 are vertically Two projecting pieces 19 are juxtaposed in a horizontal direction with a gap in the substantially middle part of the direction, and these two projecting pieces 19 are further displaced vertically.
[0020]
The other pair of side frames 2b is formed by connecting the upper frame body 2b1 and the lower frame body 2b2 so as to be foldable by the pivotal support portion 20, and as shown in FIG. 9, upper end portions on both sides of the upper frame body 2b1. The lock pin 21 is attached so as to protrude laterally.
[0021]
Side frame support portions 22 having a U-shaped horizontal cross section are erected at the four corners of the upper surface portion of the bottom frame 1, and as shown in FIG. 22b is provided, and an engagement recess 22c is provided at the upper edge of the two side pieces 22a. Further, a side frame support piece 22d extends from the outer side piece 22a of the both side pieces 22a of the side frame support portion 22 having a U-shaped horizontal section. On the upper surface of the bottom frame 1, a lower protrusion 23 protrudes from the U-shaped inlet so as to face the center piece 22 e of the side frame support portion 22 having a U-shaped horizontal section. As shown in FIG. 9, a side frame fitting gap 24 is formed between the side frame support piece 22d and the side frame support piece 22d. Further, the bottom frame 1 is provided with a fork insertion hole 37 through which a fork of a forklift can be inserted. In addition, you may attach a caster to the bottom frame 1 as needed.
[0022]
One pair of side frames 2a are fitted into the side frame support portion 22 having a U-shaped horizontal section at the lower ends of the support columns 12 on both sides, and the shaft 25 supports the vertically long hole 22b and the shaft insertion hole. Thus, the support column 12 can be moved up and down along the vertically long hole 22b. When the support column 12 is erected, the shaft 25 is positioned at the lower end of the vertically long hole 22b, and the side frame support having a U-shaped horizontal section is supported. The lower end of the side surface of the column 12 fitted in the portion 22 hits the lower projection 23, and the engagement projection 17 is engaged with the engagement recess 22, so that the column 12 is held so as not to fall down. In this state, the support column 12 is lifted upward, and when the shaft 25 is positioned at the upper end portion of the vertically long hole 22b, the lower end of the side surface of the support column 12 is positioned above the lower projection 23, and the engagement protrusion 17 is engaged with the engagement recess.

The receiving member 3 is attached so as to face a plurality of rows in the width direction.
[0031]
Thus, storing and transporting the stored items in the transport packaging apparatus A having the above-described configuration is performed as follows.
[0032]
The pair of side frames 2a to which the receiving member 3 is attached are raised with respect to the bottom frame 1 as described above, and the other pair of side frames 2b are both removed, or one side frame 2b is described above. In this manner, it is attached to the bottom frame 1 and the side frame 2a in an upright posture and only the other one side frame 2b is removed. Both ends are placed and supported independently. At this time, when the stored item 7 is placed, the received item 7 is placed and supported in order from the receiving member 3 positioned on the lower side and the rear side to the receiving member 3 positioned on the upper side and the near side. When the stored item 7 is placed on the receiving member 3 located on the lower side and the rear side, the receiving member 3 on the upper side and the near side is raised to a substantially vertical posture along the side frame 2. The stored items 7 can be supported by the receiving members 3 on the lower side and the rear side that are horizontally inclined without being obstructed by the other receiving members 3. As described above, when the end portion of the stored item 7 is placed on the receiving member 3, the end portion of the stored item 7 is put into the band 10 in a state where the rubber band 10 is pulled and extended. The stored item 7 placed on the receiving member 3 by the band 10 is held elastically.

In this way, the stored items 7 are placed independently on the plurality of receiving members 3 from the lower side and the rear side in order from the upper side to the near side, and when the storage is completed, the removed side frame 2b is set as described above. In this state, it is attached to the bottom frame 1 and the side frame 2a, transported to the site, the side frame 2b is removed at the site, and the stored items stored in the receiving member 3 in the reverse order, that is, the upper side and the near side. 7 from the receiving member 3 on the lower side and the back side in order, and the receiving member 3 from which the stored item 7 has been taken out is raised to a substantially vertical posture along the side frame 2. Thus, the stored items 7 supported by the lower and rear receiving members 3 can be easily taken out without being obstructed by the upper and rear receiving members 3.
[0034]
Here, an example in which only one side frame 2b is removed will be described. For example, when there are three rows of receiving members 3 on the heel, middle, and front side, three rows in a row, the lower tier → middle tier → upper tier. The stored items 7 are stored, and then the stored items 7 are stored in the order of the lower center of the middle → the middle → the upper, and then the stored items are stored in the order of the lower side on the near side → the middle → the upper. In some cases, they are taken out in the reverse order.
[0035]
Since the stored items 7 are stored independently in the receiving members 3 as described above, there is no need to store the stored items 7 by directly stacking them. For this reason, the stored items 7 are packed with cardboard as in the conventional case. Therefore, since no corrugated cardboard as a packaging material is used, it is possible to prevent the generation of dust and save resources.
[0036]
When the transport packaging apparatus A is not used, the other side frame 2b not provided with the receiving member 3 is removed, and the side frame is placed in a substantially vertical posture along the side frame 2a. 2a is tilted and stacked on the upper surface side of the bottom frame 1, and then the removed side plate 2b is folded in two and folded on the side plate 2a that is tilted as shown in the figure to form a compact state with low bulk. It can be stored and transported in a state.
[0037]
By the way, the vertical frame 11 is provided with a plurality of types having different sizes of the receiving member 3, the number of mounting of the receiving members 3, and the mounting positions corresponding to the types and sizes of the stored items 7. The vertical frame 11 having the optimum receiving member 3 is selected according to the type, size, etc. of the object 7 and attached to the side frame 2a. It can be stored so that it does not become.
[0038]
Further, when the vertical frame 11 is removed from the side frame 2a, the stored item 7 can be stored in the transport packaging apparatus A in the same manner as in the past without the receiving member 3.
[0039]
In the above-described embodiment, the side frame 2 is erected along the four sides of the rectangular bottom frame 1. However, the receiving member 3 is disposed along only a pair of opposite sides of the bottom frame 1. The provided side frame 2 may be erected and the side frame 2 along the other pair of sides may not be provided.
[0040]
Although not shown, a lid frame may be detachably attached to the upper opening of the transport packaging apparatus A to protect the stored items 7 stored therein.
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the first aspect of the present invention, the side frame is erected along at least a pair of sides of the bottom frame, and a plurality of receiving members are rotatably attached to the vertical frame. The vertical frames are detachably attached to the side frames, and a rotatable receiving member is disposed on the opposing surfaces of the pair of side frames so as to select a horizontal posture and a substantially vertical posture along the side frames. Since the horizontal posture holding means for holding the member in the horizontal posture is provided, when the receiving member becomes an obstacle when storing the stored item, the receiving member is stored in a substantially vertical posture along the side frame. When storing the object and placing the stored object on the receiving member, the receiving member is placed in a horizontal position and the stored object is mounted on the receiving member in a state where the horizontal attitude is held by the horizontal attitude holding means. Can be stored in the lower position of the receiving member. The stored items placed on the receiving member can be stored so as not to come into direct contact with each other, and when taking out the stored items, after removing the stored items placed on the receiving member, The receiving member is set to a substantially vertical posture, and then the lower storage item is taken out, so that the upper storage item is not removed while rubbing the lower storage item, and a plurality of storage items are stored. The objects can be stored so that the objects do not overlap with each other with a simple configuration, and can be stored and taken out easily. In addition, since the storage items do not directly overlap each other as described above, it is not necessary to pack the storage items by corrugated cardboard as in the case where the storage items directly overlap each other. Since there is no use of corrugated cardboard, it is beneficial in terms of waste collection, environment, and resource protection, and it is possible to reduce costs because there is no need to individually pack and unpack the stored items with corrugated cardboard. In addition, since a plurality of receiving members are attached to the vertical frame and the vertical frame is detachable from the side frame, the vertical frame can be easily attached to a transport packaging device without a receiving member to carry the receiving member. In addition, when a receiving member is not required, the vertical frame is removed from the side frame, so that the conveying packing device without the receiving member can be obtained.
