Description

  The present invention relates to a clothing transport box suitable for transporting clothing such as a suit, a coat, a skirt, and a blouse.

  Conventionally, in order to transport clothing, a dedicated box car is used, or a transport container provided with a support rod for hanging a hanger and a clothes transport cart are used. When a dedicated box car is used, a rod-like member for hanging a hanger is provided in the box car, and a hanger with clothing is hung on this member for transport.

  For this reason, it takes a lot of time and effort to move the clothing to the box car, and the work efficiency is poor, and there is a risk of dropping or soiling the clothing during transportation. Moreover, since it is a dedicated vehicle, it could not be used for transporting other articles and could not be used effectively. Moreover, even if it is a special vehicle, since airtightness is bad and it cannot fully prevent invasion of dust, clothing could not be protected from dust.

  On the other hand, for example, in the case of the transport container described in the Design Registration No. 991500, the clothes can be transported while being hung on the hanger, and the airtightness is good and the entry of dust is prevented. be able to. However, since the container entrance / exit is small, there is a problem that it is difficult to take in / out the clothes into / from the container and that it takes time to assemble and fold. Further, since the folded state is large, there is a problem that it is difficult to handle during transportation.

Moreover, as a garment for conveying clothes, there is a trolley described in JP-A-10-14743, for example. In this cart, the transfer from the clothes hangar of the transfer center to the cart can be easily performed in a short time since only the trolley unit on the rail is moved into the cart. However, since the side surface and the back surface are formed of a pipe material and the front surface is open, there is a problem that it is not possible to protect clothing from dust.
Japanese Patent No. 2791881 Design Registration No. 991500

The problem to be solved is that the conventional container for transporting clothing is difficult to put in and out clothing and cannot be easily assembled and folded.

Depending on the configuration of the hinge, the side wall 21 and the side wall 23 can be folded inward. Further, stepped portions 21c and 23c are formed on the inner surfaces of the upper ends of the side walls 21 and 23 in the vicinity of the hinges 21a and 23a. The step portions 21c and 23c are formed in a U-shape in a plan view, and are locked by inserting a rod-like member 5 for hanging a hanger from above. By assembling the rod-like member 5 to the stepped portions 21c and 23c, the assembled state of the side wall portion 2 is held more firmly.

  Further, on the side wall 21 and the side wall 23, upward hooks 21d and 23d and downward hooks 21e and 23e (not shown) having spring action are formed on the upper and lower ends, respectively. The upward hooks 21d and 23d and the downward hooks 21e and 23e are formed in the same shape only by changing the direction. The hook 21d shown in FIG. 3 will be described as an example. The hook 21d protrudes from the upper surface of the horizontal rib 21f and is formed to have a spring action by freeing three sides. As will be described later, the outer surface of the tip of the hook 21d slightly protrudes from the outer surface of the horizontal rib 21f so as to be engaged with the notches of the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 (see FIG. 3).

  Next, the top plate 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. A groove 3 a for fitting the upper end portion of the side wall portion 2 is formed in the peripheral portion of the top plate 3. As is apparent from the drawing, the groove 3a opens downward, and the groove width is formed to be the same as or slightly larger than the thickness of the upper end portion of the side wall portion. In the four corners, L-shaped through holes 3b are formed in plan view. The projections at the four corners of the bottom plate 4 to be described later are fitted into the through holes 3b. Although the said through-holes 3b and 3b were formed in L shape, it is not limited to this, You may provide a linear through-hole only in two opposing sides.

In addition, notches 3c and 3c for engaging the upward hooks 21d and 23d are provided on the opposite outer surfaces of the top plate 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the notches 3c and 3c are formed by notching the upper part of the outer wall forming the groove 3a, and the formation positions correspond to the upward hooks 21d and 23d. The top plate 3d of the top plate 3 is connected to the lower end of the inner wall that forms the groove 3a, but a bulging portion 3e is provided in the center portion in the mounting direction of the rod-like member 5. By this bulging portion 3e, the distance from the attached rod-like member 5 is increased, and the hanger can be easily suspended.

  Next, the bottom plate 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 7. The bottom plate 4 is the same size as the top plate 3, and a groove 4 a for fitting the lower end portion of the side wall 2 opposite to the top plate 3 is formed in the peripheral portion of the bottom plate 4. As is apparent from FIG. 7, the groove 4a opens upward, and the groove width is formed to be the same as or slightly larger than the thickness of the lower end portion of the side wall portion.

  At the four corners, L-shaped projections 4b are provided so as to project downward in a plan view. The protrusions 4 b are fitted into the L-shaped through holes 3 b at the four corners of the top plate 3. By fitting the protrusions 4b into the L-shaped through-holes 3b at the four corners of the top plate 3, even if the bottom plate 4 is stacked on the top plate 3, the load can be safely transported in a stable state. Can do.

  In addition, notches 4c and 4c for engaging the downward hooks 21e and 23e are provided on the opposite outer surfaces of the bottom plate 4. The notches 4c and 4c are the same as the notches 3c and 3c shown in FIG. 3 formed by turning the top plate 3 upside down, and are formed by notching the lower end portion of the outer wall forming the groove 4a. The formation position corresponds to the downward hooks 21e and 23e. The middle plate 4d of the bottom plate 4 is connected to the upper end of the inner wall forming the groove 4a, and a reinforcing rib (not shown) may be provided on the lower surface as necessary.

  In the above embodiment, the upper hooks 21d and 23d and the downward hooks 21e and 23e are provided on the upper and lower ends of the side wall, respectively, and the top plate is provided with the notches 3c for locking the upward hooks 21d and 23d. In the above description, the notch 4c for locking the downward hooks 21e and 23e is provided. However, one or both of them can be omitted. Further, the attachment of the rod-like member for hanging the hanger is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and a structure for attaching to the inner side of the top plate can also be adopted.

  Next, a method for using the clothing transport box having the above-described configuration will be described. In order to use the clothing transport box, the doors 26 and 27 are attached to the openings 20b and 22b to form the side walls 20 and 22, so that the side walls 20 and 22 are separated to widen the space and then folded. The side walls 21 and 23 are spread outward and assembled into a square shape. Since the side walls 21 and 23 are folded via hinges, the side walls 20 and 22 can be easily separated.

  After the side wall portion 2 is assembled into a square shape, the rod-like member 5 is fitted and attached to the step portions 21 c and 23 c of the side walls 21 and 23 to hold the shape of the side wall portion 2. Next, the lower end portion of the side wall portion 2 is fitted into the groove 4 a of the bottom plate 4. When the lower end portion of the side wall portion 2 is fitted into the groove 4a of the bottom plate 4, the downward hooks 21e and 23e are also inserted into the groove 4a, and the protruding portion is locked to the notch 4c by a spring action. When the downward hooks 21e and 23e are engaged with the notch 4c, the side wall 2 and the bottom plate 4 are assembled together.

  Next, the upper end portion of the side wall portion 2 may be fitted into the groove 3 a of the top plate 3. When the upper end portion of the side wall portion 2 is fitted into the groove 3a of the top plate 3, the upward hooks 21d and 23d are also inserted into the groove 3a, and the protruding portion is locked to the notch 3c by a spring action. When the upward hooks 21d and 23d are engaged with the notch 3c, the side wall 2 and the top plate 3 are assembled together.

  The side wall 2 is sealed by fitting the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 and can be assembled firmly. Since the doors 26 and 27 are provided on opposite surfaces, clothing can be taken in and out from either side, and directionality can be eliminated. Moreover, since the rod-like member 5 for hanging the hanger is arranged in the same direction as the door, the hanger can be easily put in and out. Moreover, before fitting the top plate 3, a hanger hung with clothing from the upper opening of the side wall 2 may be suspended, and then the top plate 3 may be attached to the upper end of the side wall 2.

  In order to fold the clothing transport box having the above-described configuration, it may be performed in the opposite manner to the case of assembling. That is, the top hook 3 is removed from the side wall 2 while pushing the upward hooks 21d and 23d of the side wall 2 inward to release the locked state with the notch 3c. Next, the bottom plate 4 is removed from the side wall 2 while pushing the downward hooks 21e, 23e of the side wall 2 inward to release the locked state with the notch 4c. Thereafter, the rod-shaped member 5 is removed from the step portions 21 c and 23 c of the side wall portion 2.

  The side walls 21 and 23 are folded into two by the hinges 21a and 21b and the hinges 23a and 23b when the central part is pushed inward. Since the width dimension of the side walls 21 and 23 is formed smaller than the width dimension of the side walls 20 and 21, the inner surfaces of the side walls 21 and 23 and the inner surfaces of the side walls 20 and 22 abut, as shown in FIG. Can be folded into a plate state.

  On the other hand, the bottom plate 4 can be stacked on the top plate 3. When the bottom plate 4 is stacked on the top plate 3, the protrusions 4b on the bottom surface of the bottom plate are fitted into the through holes 3b of the top plate 3, so that they can be stacked together without collapsing the load. In this way, the folded side wall can be transported and stored by stacking the side walls. Moreover, the set which piled up the top plate and the baseplate which accommodated the rod-shaped member 5 can be further piled up, and can be conveyed and stored.

  In this way, each member can be collected and packaged, transportation efficiency is good, and the storage location can be saved. It can be collected and reused, and resource can be saved as a returnable product.
