Description

The present invention relates to a self-supporting enclosure member that can easily provide an area for collecting objects and other areas on a flat ground.

  There are cases where the corners of roads that are normally used for roads and sidewalks are used as erection collection places only on the collection day as places used for taking out trash in ordinary households. Garbage collected in such places is collected in garbage bags at home, and the garbage bags are thrown away in the erection collection place on the garbage collection date determined by the municipality. .

  However, since the placement area of the garbage bag is not clearly specified, the garbage bag is often scattered around the placement area. Such a situation caused garbage to occupy the road, obstructing the movement of pedestrians and cars, and damage the road landscape. In addition, there was a situation in which garbage was scattered by crows and small animals.

  Therefore, the present inventor has proposed an inexpensive and simple folding container that can be installed in such a place and can be used as a garbage container. This container corresponds to a cube-shaped box formed by connecting five bendable surface portions, each having an open upper surface, and a ridgeline formed by each side portion and two surface portions of the upper end portion of the box. A reinforcing member that is connected to the ridge angle with a space therebetween and gives rigidity to the side portion and the ridge line; and three reinforcing members that are attached to a surface portion located at each ridge angle and in contact with the ridge angle; The box body is bent along the diagonal line of each surface portion when not in use, and is folded into a triangular shape in which all the reinforcing members are arranged in parallel (when not in use). Patent Document 1). This foldable container is not only used for collecting trash, but it can be folded small, has no problem with the storage location, and can be easily assembled at low cost and used as a trash collection container. It has been.

However, this container has a problem that it is difficult to take out the garbage from the container when the garbage bag is transferred to the garbage truck after the garbage is stored.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a self-contained enclosure member that can easily form an area for collecting objects and other areas on a road. .

In order to solve the above problems, the measures taken by the invention according to claim 1 are:
An enclosure member having a rectangular front surface 10, a rear surface 20, and both side surfaces 30 formed of a flexible sheet member or a net-like body, the plane and the bottom surface being opened,
Each ridge line 40 or a bag body 50 formed in the vicinity of the ridge line 40, a rigid member 60 inserted into the bag body 50 so as to be bendable at each ridge angle 80, and extended from the upper side 41 of the back surface 20 A foldable self-supporting enclosing member 100, wherein the lid 70 is formed so as to be fixable to the front surface 10 and / or the side surface 30. It is what.

  The self-supporting enclosure member 100 of the present invention is formed in a cylindrical shape having a flat surface and a bottom surface, and four surrounding surfaces covered with rectangular surfaces 10, 20, and 30. The front surface 10, the rear surface 20, and the side surfaces 30 are formed with substantially the same width. This is because when folded, all the faces cannot be folded unless they have substantially the same width. However, in actuality, it may not be bent if the width is completely the same depending on the thickness of the surrounding member 100, the thickness of the rigid member 60, and the like, so that the length can be slightly corrected.

  A bag 50 is formed on each ridge line 41, and a rod-like rigid member 60 is inserted. The rigid member 60 is inserted to hold the self-supporting opening. Accordingly, the material is not limited as long as it has rigidity enough to make the surrounding member 100 self-supporting, and may be metal, plastic, or the like. Moreover, the cross-sectional shape is not limited to a circle. Further, each rigid member 60 is provided at a distance from each other at each ridge angle 80 so as to be foldable, and is formed to be bendable at each ridge angle 80. In addition, if the rigid body 60 is provided not in the ridgeline 40 but in the vicinity of the ridgeline 40, that is, in the vicinity of the ridgeline 40, that is, by shifting the rigid body 60 and inserting the rigid member 60 therein, the rigid member 60 is folded. Is not at the end, and the end becomes a sheet part that is easy to fold, which facilitates folding. In addition, in this specification and a claim, a plane, a front surface, a back surface, a right and left side surface, and a bottom surface refer to the surface shown in the state which made each 10 the front surface in the state shown by FIG.

  Further, the back surface 20 is provided with a lid portion 70 extending from the upper side 41. The lid portion 70 is formed to be larger than the plane so as to protrude from the front surface 10 and / or the side surface 30 when covered with the plane. And the part which protruded from the plane can be fixed with the upper part of the front surface 10 or the both side surfaces 30 by the hook-and-loop fastener 90 grade | etc.,. By fixing the lid portion 70 to the front surface 10 or both side surfaces 30 in this manner, the shape of the planar opening is fixed by the lid portion 70 and can be prevented from being deformed. In particular, if the rigid member 60 is inserted around the lid 70 so that the shape of the lid 70 is not deformed, the shape of the planar opening can be further stabilized.

  Furthermore, the means taken by the invention according to claim 2 is provided with an openable / closable opening / closing part 71 inside the lid part 70, and the foldable self-standing enclosure member 100 according to claim 1. . An opening / closing part 71 is further provided inside the lid part 70 so that an object can be put inside the self-standing enclosure 100 with the lid part 70 closed. Thus, after the self-supporting enclosure member 100 is installed, if the lid 70 is closed and the shape of the planar opening is fixed, an object can be thrown into the inside without solving the fixed state. The inner opening / closing part 71 at this time may be formed by cutting out a part of the lid part 70 as shown in FIG. 6, or an opening hole is previously formed in the center of the lid part 70 as shown in FIG. In addition, a separate opening / closing sheet may be attached thereto. The means for fixing the opening / closing part 71 is not particularly limited, and a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like is conceivable.

  Further, the means taken by the invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the height of the front surface 10 is formed lower than the height of the back surface 20. The self-standing enclosure member 100 is used. This is mainly to reduce the height of the surface on the front 10 side, thereby making it easy to put an object from the front 10 side while ensuring the storage height on the back 20 side.

  Furthermore, the means taken by the invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that an underlay 110 made of a sheet member or a net-like body is provided on the bottom side of the self-supporting enclosure member 100 as an underlay of the thrown-in thing. The foldable self-supporting enclosing member 100 according to any one of claims 1 to 3. When an object is put into the self-supporting enclosure member 100, the underlay provided on the bottom side of the self-supporting enclosure member 100 is pressed by the load of the object, so that it is prevented from moving or falling down due to wind or the like. It is a thing.

  According to the self-supporting enclosure member according to the present invention, it is possible to distinguish an object collection area from other areas simply by installing it on a flat ground as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped frame. In addition, it is possible to be independent and stable.

  Furthermore, since it can be folded alternately into a flat plate having the same size as each plane, there is no problem with storage.

  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best embodiment of a self-supporting enclosure member 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings together with examples. The self-supporting enclosing member 100 in the embodiment is formed so as to surround the periphery with four rectangular surfaces having substantially the same size, and the whole with the open plane and bottom surface is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped or cubic cylindrical shape. Yes. The rectangular surfaces 10, 20, and 30 have a lateral width of 120 cm and a height of 130 cm. The reason why the lateral widths of all the rectangular surfaces 10, 20, and 30 are formed to have substantially the same length is to enable the respective surfaces to be folded so as not to interfere with each other. However, in reality, since the sheet material, the rigid member 82, and the like are thick, the width may be slightly different to enable folding. As the sheet material, a flat sheet having flexibility can be used, but in the embodiment, a mesh material having a lattice of about 5 mm is used. This is because the use of a net material makes it easy to understand the internal state.

  Each ridgeline 40 is formed with a cylindrical bag 50, and a plastic rigid member 60 is inserted into the cylindrical shape. The rigid members 60 are inserted at intervals at each ridge angle 80 and are formed to be freely bent at each ridge angle 80. The material used for these rigid members 60 is not particularly limited as long as the material has rigidity sufficient to make the self-supporting enclosure member 100 self-supporting. Further, the thickness and the cross-sectional shape are not particularly limited. Furthermore, a support member may be attached at any time in order to enhance the stability of the self-supporting opening. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to enhance the stability of the self-supporting opening, a method of attaching a support member vertically to the center of the front surface 10, the back surface 20, and both side surfaces 30 can be considered. Since the support member attached here is not bent at that portion, it may not necessarily be a rod shape but may be a flat plate shape or may not be inserted into the bag.

  A lid portion 70 extends from the upper side of the back surface. The lid 70 is also made of a mesh material, like the rectangular surface. The lid portion 70 is formed to have a width substantially the same as that of the flat portion, and is longer than the flat portion. Therefore, when the lid 70 is closed, a portion longer than the plane protrudes on the front 10 side. A fixing means 90 is provided so that the protruding portion and the front upper part can be fixed. The fixing means 90 is not particularly limited. For example, when the fixing means 90 is fixed with the hook-and-loop fastener 90 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the attachment and detachment is easy and the convenience is excellent. By fixing the lid portion 70 to the front surface in this way, the shape of the planar opening can be maintained by the lid portion 70, and the stability becomes high.

  In addition, when the lid 70 is closed, if more stable fixation is desired, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid can be fixed not only on the front side but also on both sides. Both sides of 70 may be formed wider than the plane so as to protrude when the lid is closed, so that both sides of lid 70 and the upper side of both side surfaces 30 can be fixed.

  Further, in order to stabilize the self-supporting enclosing member 100, as shown in the view seen from the bottom side of FIG. is there. By placing an object on the underlay 110, the self-supporting enclosure member 110 is fixed by the load of the object, and the position on the lower side is fixed.

  Further, the height of the front surface 10 is formed lower than the height of the back surface 20 in order to make it easier to accommodate objects inside. By forming in this way, the input side front face 10 can be formed low while securing the storage height on the back face 20 side, so that it is easy to put objects inside.

  Furthermore, in order to maintain the state in which the planar opening of the one-side self-supporting enclosing member 100 is fixed by the lid portion 70 even when an object is put in, as shown in FIGS. May be provided. In this way, the self-standing enclosure member 100 can insert an object by opening and closing only the opening and closing part 71 while the shape of the planar opening is fixed by the lid part 70. As a method of forming the opening / closing part 71 at this time, the inner part is cut out as shown in FIG. 6 so that it can be opened and closed with a fastener around it, or an opening is formed in the lid part 70 as shown in FIG. The opening may be opened and closed by sewing only a part of a large lid-like member around the opening and may be fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener.

  The self-contained enclosure member 100 formed in this way can be held independently in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped state and can define the boundary between the internal region for collecting objects and the surroundings. Therefore, for example, if the enclosure member 100 is installed at the corner of the road, a dust collection area can be formed (FIG. 8). Therefore, if dust is put inside and collected, the dust can be collected without being scattered around. At this time, dust may be put after a large storage bag is attached to the enclosure member as shown in FIG.

  Then, when collecting the collected garbage, the enclosure member is easily removed by pulling up the self-contained enclosure member 100 with the garbage stored inside without taking it out from a relatively high plane. be able to. Therefore, it is only necessary to carry out the object after that (see FIG. 10). In particular, when collecting garbage after attaching the garbage bag inside as shown in FIG. 11, if the container has a bottom, the bag may be too large to be pulled out from the upper surface. If the self-supporting enclosure member 100 is pulled out as it is as in the present embodiment, the storage bag collecting the dust can be taken out without any problem. Of course, it does not exclude taking out from the upper surface. If there are few garbage bags, they can be taken out from above.

  Then, after use, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the diagonal ridge angles are overlapped with each other to form a flat state as shown in FIG. 14, and then folded as shown in FIG. Can do. Therefore, it is convenient to save the space.
