Description

The present invention relates to a storage box for storing files, books, and the like.

Conventionally, various storage boxes have been proposed that can be folded and miniaturized when not in use. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a file storage box that includes a bottom plate, a front plate, a rear plate, a left plate, and a right plate and has an upper opening. In this storage box, the bottom plate is composed of divided pieces attached to the front plate and the rear plate, respectively. That is, by dividing the bottom plate, the bottom surface of the storage box is opened, so that the front plate and the rear plate can be folded so as to contact each other.

  However, in the storage box, for example, the connecting portion between the front plate and the right plate and the connecting portion between the rear plate and the left plate are bent and folded, so the size when folded is the front plate and the right plate. Is the same size as the plane consisting of In addition, since the divided pieces protrude outside, there is a problem that although the thickness is reduced, the divided pieces still occupy a large area even in a folded flat state.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage box that can be miniaturized in a folded flat state.

  The storage box according to the present invention is made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and a pair of side plates, a foldable bottom member connecting the both side plates, and at least one side sandwiching the bottom member are arranged upward. A foldable vertical surface member connecting the both side plates, a bottom portion detachably attached to the bottom surface member, and a reinforcing member having a vertical portion detachably attached to the vertical surface member. .

  According to this configuration, since the bottom surface member and the vertical surface member that connect the pair of side plates are configured to be foldable, the bottom surface member and the vertical surface are removed when the both side plates are crushed after removing the reinforcing member. The member can be folded so that it enters between the side plates. Therefore, since the size of the folded state can be set to the size of the side plate, the size can be reduced. In addition, in order to maintain the strength of the storage box, the side plate and the reinforcing member are preferably formed of a plate-like material having a certain degree of hardness. For example, it can be made of various materials such as hard plastic, cardboard, or cardboard covered with cloth.

  The bottom member and the vertical member can be made of various materials as long as they can be folded. For example, the bottom member and the vertical member can be made of a flexible sheet material such as cloth, film, leather, and nonwoven fabric. In this way, for example, paper can be folded flexibly without a crease or the like, and it can withstand repeated use. For example, a hook-and-loop fastener can be used to attach the reinforcing member, but the reinforcing member is not particularly limited as long as it can be detachably attached. Further, the reinforcing member may connect the bottom portion and the vertical portion in a foldable manner, thereby enabling downsizing during storage.

  The storage box as described above is preferably formed with a grip portion that is convenient to carry. If such a gripping part is attached as a separate member, the cost may increase or it may become an obstacle when stored in the cabinet. There are things to do. However, when the hole is formed, there is a problem that the strength of the portion becomes weak or the manufacturing process becomes complicated. Therefore, it is preferable to form a gripping portion that opens downward for hooking a finger or the like by folding back the upper end portion of the vertical surface member. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the strength from being lowered and the work process from becoming complicated.

  According to the storage box of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the size in a folded flat state.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a storage box according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Hereinafter, the side facing downward on the inclined surface of the side plate is referred to as “front” and “front”, and the opposite side is referred to as “rear” and “back”.

  The pair of side plates 11 is formed in a substantially triangular shape, and is formed by covering a substantially triangular cardboard with a cloth in order to obtain a certain degree of hardness. On the other hand, the connecting member 12 is formed of a foldable rectangular cloth, and includes a bottom surface portion 121, a front surface portion 122, and a back surface portion 123 that connect the bottom sides, the front portions, and the rear portions of the side plates 11. Has been. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the hook_and_loop | surface fastener 3 is attached to the side which faces the inside of a storage box in the front part 122 and the back surface part 123, and the reinforcement member 2 is detachably fixed. . The bottom surface portion 121 of the connecting member 12 corresponds to the “bottom surface member” of the present invention, and the front surface portion 122 and the back surface portion 123 correspond to the “vertical surface member” of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, grip portions 4 for gripping the storage box are formed at both ends of the connecting member 2, that is, at the ends of the front portion 122 and the back portion 123. Hereinafter, the gripping portion will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view (a) of the end portion of the back portion and a view (b) showing its use. As shown in FIG. 4A, the grip portion 4 is configured by folding the end portion of the back surface portion 123 outward. Since both sides of the back surface portion 123 are connected to the side plate 11, the folded portion is formed in a pocket shape that opens downward. Further, folded reinforcing fabrics 51 and 52 are sewn to the end portion 123a that is turned back and faces downward, and the crease portion 123b, respectively. According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 4B, the storage box can be grasped by inserting a finger from the opening 41 facing downward. A similar pocket-shaped grip 4 is formed on the front portion 122.

  Subsequently, the reinforcing member will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the reinforcing member 2 reinforces the connecting member 12, and corresponds to the front portion 122, the bottom surface portion 121, and the back surface portion 123 of the connecting member 12, and has a front portion that is substantially the same size. 21, a central part 22, and a rear part 23. The front portion 21 and the rear portion 23 are connected to the front end and the rear end of the central portion 22 so as to be bendable, and are configured in the same manner as the side plate 11 for reinforcement. That is, a rectangular cardboard is covered with a cloth. Moreover, the hook_and_loop | surface fastener 3 is attached to the front part 21 and the rear part 23, and is attached to the hook_and_loop | surface fastener 3 provided in the front part 122 and the back part 123 of the connection member 12, respectively, so that attachment or detachment is possible. In the reinforcing member 2 configured in this manner, the front part 21, the central part 22, and the rear part 23 are in contact with the front part 122, the bottom part 121, and the rear part 123 of the connecting member 12 from the inside of the storage box, respectively. Attached to. The central portion 22 of the reinforcing member corresponds to the “bottom portion” of the present invention, and the front portion 21 and the rear portion 23 correspond to the “vertical portion” of the present invention.

  Next, the usage method of the storage box comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated, referring FIG.5 and FIG.6. In normal use, files, books, magazines, etc. are stored inside. When moving, the storage box is moved by inserting a finger into the grasping portion 4 and lifting it up as described above. On the other hand, when the storage box is not used, the size is reduced as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the reinforcing member 2 is removed from the storage body 1, and as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting portion between the central portion 22 and the rear portion 23 is bent and folded. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the side plates 11 are brought into contact with each other in the storage main body 1. At this time, the connecting member 12 is folded between the side plates 11 while being folded in half. That is, it is folded so as not to protrude from the outer shape of the side plate 11. Thus, the storage box is reduced in size to the folded reinforcing member 2 and the storage main body 1 in a state where the two side plates 11 are in contact with each other, and is transported to another place or stored.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the connecting member 12 that connects the pair of side plates 11 is configured to be foldable, after the reinforcing member 2 is removed, the side plates 11 are crushed so as to contact each other. The connecting member 12 can be folded so as to enter between the side plates 11. Therefore, since the size of the folded state can be set to the size of the side plate 11, the size can be reduced. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the connecting member 12 is formed of cloth, flexible folding is possible without making a crease or the like in advance, such as paper, and it can withstand repeated use.
