Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box, and more particularly to a storage box that can be suitably used outdoors such as in a garden.

  There are storage boxes that are placed outdoors, such as in the garden, to store various items such as kerosene plastic tanks, gardening supplies, and DIY products. Such a storage box generally has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box-like appearance. Also, those made of resin or steel plate are the mainstream. As this type of storage box, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 1 is disclosed.

Utility Model Registration No. 3001120

  If a box-shaped storage box made of resin or steel plate is almost placed in the garden, the view of the garden will be damaged. Further, when the storage box is placed outdoors, it is obvious that various articles are stored in the storage box, and the stored articles may be stolen or mischiefed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and does not impair the landscape even when placed outdoors in a garden or the like, and can also be expected to suppress theft and mischief of articles stored in the storage The issue is to provide boxes.

The storage box according to the invention of claim 1 is provided with a box body that is placed on the ground or site, and the entire interior forms a storage space for articles, and a gable roof that covers the box body, It can be opened and closed, and an opening through which articles are taken in and out of the storage space is formed by opening the roof .

  The storage box of the present invention is provided with a gable-type roof, and has a kennel-like appearance. Therefore, even if it is placed in the garden, it will not damage the garden. Moreover, since the storage box of the present invention looks like a kennel at first glance, a third person who does not know that it is a storage box recognizes that the dog is kept therein. Therefore, even if the storage box is placed outdoors, a third party does not dare to approach the storage box, and the articles stored in the storage box can be prevented from being stolen or mischievous.

  Moreover, the storage box of this invention can open and close a roof, and the upper part of a box opens by opening a roof. Therefore, articles can be satisfactorily put in and out of the storage space inside the box through this opening.

  Regarding the opening and closing of the roof, in addition to enabling the roof to be opened and closed by rotatably supporting at least one of the two roofs of the gable-type both flows with respect to the ridge, the gable-type roof The entire gabled roof can be opened and closed in the shape of a "he", or the two gabled roofs can be opened and closed by pivotally supporting the whole on the upper part of the left and right side panels. It is possible to exemplify that each of the above can be pivotally supported on the upper part of the left and right side plates so that the door can be opened and closed like a so-called “double door” door. Further, the roof is not limited to be pivotably supported, but may be slidable with respect to the ridge or the side plate so as to be opened and closed by sliding the roof like a so-called “sliding door”. Furthermore, a roof separate from the box may be attached to and detached from the box by an appropriate mounting structure such as fitting or sliding.

In particular, laying storage box according to the invention of claim 1, roof includes a purlin, across the main roof supported rotatably該棟tree, the boundary between the main roof and purlin from the top of the ridgepole It is comprised by the waterproof sheet | seat made and the ridge roof which is supported rotatably with respect to the said purlin, and covers the said waterproof sheet | seat.

  The storage box of the present invention is configured by using a main roof in which a roof is rotatably supported by a purlin. When the main roof is pivotally supported on the purlin as described above, a gap is generated at the boundary between the purlin and the main roof, and rainwater may leak into the internal storage space from the gap. Therefore, in the present invention, rainwater is prevented from leaking into the internal storage space by laying a waterproof sheet from the top of the purlin to the boundary between the purlin and the main roof. Moreover, since the favorable external appearance of a roof will be impaired when the waterproof sheet is exposed, the favorable external appearance is ensured by covering a waterproof sheet with a ridge roof.

  By the way, a ridge roof further covers the waterproof sheet which covers the boundary part of a ridge tree and a main roof, and overlaps the edge part of a main roof. Therefore, by providing the ridge roof, there is a possibility that this ridge roof may interfere with the rotation of the main roof. However, in the present invention, the ridge roof is rotatably supported with respect to the ridge tree. As the roof rotates, the ridge roof that overlaps the main roof also rotates. Therefore, the ridge roof does not disturb the rotation of the main roof.

The storage box according to the invention of claim 2 is the storage box according to the invention of claim 1 , in particular, the side plate constituting the box body can also be opened and closed, and by opening the side plate, A large opening communicating with the opening by opening is formed.

  In the storage box of the present invention, the side plate also opens and closes, so that by opening the roof and the side plate, a large opening is formed in the upper and side portions of the box for taking in and out articles from the internal storage space. Is done. Therefore, by opening the roof and the side plate, articles can be taken in and out in a better space. In particular, since the opening is formed in the part lower than the roof by opening the side plate, when the article to be stored is a heavy item such as a plastic tank filled with kerosene, the heavy article is not lifted up to the storage space. Can be put in and out. Therefore, the labor at the time of putting in / out an article can be reduced.

  The side plate can be opened and closed by pivotally supporting the side plate on the bottom plate of the box, and the side plate can be pivotally supported on the front plate or the back plate. It can be opened and closed like a so-called "folding door", or the side plate is composed of two members, a front side member and a back side member, and the two members can be rotated to the front plate and the back plate, respectively. It can be illustrated that the door can be opened and closed like a so-called “double door” door. Further, the side plate is not limited to be pivotally supported, but may be slidable with respect to the roof or the bottom plate so as to be opened and closed by sliding the side plate like a so-called “sliding door”. Further, a side plate separate from the bottom plate, front plate, and back plate can be attached to and detached from the bottom plate, front plate, and back plate by an appropriate mounting structure such as fitting mounting or slide mounting. Good.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage box that does not impair the landscape even when placed outdoors in a garden or the like, and that can also be expected to suppress theft and mischief of articles stored therein. be able to.

It is drawing which shows the ridge part of a roof, (a) is a perspective view of an example, (b) is a perspective view of another example. It is drawing which shows the interlocking link which links a main roof and a ridge roof, (a) is a front view of the state which closed the roof, (b) is a front view of the state which opened the roof. It is drawing which shows a base, (a) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the principal part of a base, (b) is explanatory drawing of the manufacturing process of a base block.

  An example as an embodiment of the storage box according to the present invention will be described below. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the direction of the arrow S in FIG.

  The storage box 1 of the present example is entirely made of wood, and includes a box 10 that forms a storage space therein and a roof 20 that covers the top of the box 10 as shown in FIG. And the roof 20 is formed in the gable type of both flows. In addition, the overall dimensions are about 500 to 1000 mm in width, depth, and height, and the size of the tatami is compact so that it can be placed in a small space of about 1/4 to 1/2 tatami. . Therefore, such a storage box 1 has an appearance that seems to be a kennel at first glance.

  Further, the roof 20 and the side plate 14 of the box 10 can be opened and closed (see arrows A1, A2, B1, and B2), and by opening the roof 20 and the side plate 14, a box as shown in FIG. An opening 30 for taking in and out various articles 50 such as a kerosene plastic tank and a gardening article is formed in the storage space inside the body 10. Here, the roof opening 31 formed by the opening of the roof 20 and the side opening 32 formed by the opening of the side plate 14 communicate with each other in the height direction, and the height of the roof opening 31 and the side opening 32 is combined. A large opening 30 is formed in the direction. Therefore, even if the article 50 to be stored is a heavy article such as a plastic tank filled with kerosene, the article 50 can be easily put into and out of the storage space through the opening 30. In addition, the size of a 18 liter kerosene polytank that is commercially available in large quantities is about 350 mm wide, about 200 mm deep, and about 400 mm high, and the storage space can store three or four such polytanks. It has become.

  Next, details of the box 10 and the roof 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the box 10 includes a rectangular bottom plate 11 and a front plate 12, a back plate 13, and left and right side plates 14 erected on four sides of the bottom plate 11. Is formed in an open box shape. Here, the left and right side plates 14 are supported by the bottom plate 11 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction by hinges (not shown). Although not shown in the drawings, in order to stably maintain the side plate 14 in the closed state, the iron plate is attached to the side plate 14 and the magnet is attached to the front plate 12 or the back plate 13. A holding means using a fastener such as Heaton is employed.

  In particular, in this example, the front plate 12 is provided with a dummy mouth 12a that imitates the doorway of a dog so that it looks more like a doghouse. The dummy port 12a is not limited to being provided in the front plate 12 in a penetrating manner, and may be represented by a picture. Moreover, you may attach the transparent board which plugs the whole to the dummy opening 12a so that opening and closing is possible. In this case, the article 50 in the storage box 1 can be protected by seemingly appearing at the entrance / exit of the dog and preventing dust and foreign matter from entering from the outside.

  The upper part of the box 10 is covered with a gable roof 20 of both flows. Here, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, the roof 20 includes a purlin 21, a main roof 22 supported by the purlin 21 in a vertical direction by a hinge 25, and a top of the purlin 21. A waterproof sheet 23 laid over the boundary between the main roof 22 and the purlin 21, and a ridge roof 24 that is rotatably supported by the purlin 21 by a hinge 26 and covers the waterproof sheet 23.

  The waterproof sheet 23 is made of a resin sheet such as polyethylene resin or vinyl resin, and is excellent in flexibility and impervious to water. The waterproof sheet 23 prevents rainwater from entering the internal storage space from the gap between the boundary portions of the purlin 21 and the main roof 22. The waterproof sheet 23 is covered with a ridge roof 24. Therefore, since the waterproof sheet 23 is not greatly exposed to the outside, the waterproof sheet 23 does not impair the good appearance of the roof 20 of the storage box 1, and the waterproof sheet 23 is directly deteriorated or damaged by sunlight, rainwater, or the like. It is prevented from receiving.

  By the way, in this example, the left and right sides of the roof 20 of both flows can be opened and closed in the vertical direction, and the waterproof sheet 23 is laid from the top of the purlin 21 to the ends of the left and right main roofs 22. The roof 24 is attached to the purlin 21 by a hinge 26 from above the waterproof sheet 23. As shown in FIG. 3B, a hinge 27 having a mounting bracket 27a is adopted, and the mounting bracket 27a is used. It may be attached to both end surfaces of the purlin 21 so that a gap L can be secured between the top of the purlin 21 and the hinge 27. In this way, the waterproof sheet 23 can be inserted and removed from the gap L between the top of the purlin 21 and the hinge 27, and the waterproof sheet 23 can be easily replaced when the waterproof sheet 23 is damaged. it can. Here, the hinge 27 used in this example is one in which the hinge 27 is supported in a cantilever manner by using a pin 27b of the hinge 27 on the mounting bracket 27a. If the mounting bracket 27a of the hinge 27 cannot be directly mounted on the end face of the purlin 21, a windbreak plate may be provided as the structure of the roof 20, and the mounting bracket 27a may be mounted on this windbreak plate.

Further, as another modification of the mounting of the ridge roof 24, although not shown in the drawings, L-shaped metal fittings are attached to both ends of the purlin 21 and are slightly floated above the purlin 21 via the L-shaped metal fittings. A prismatic second purlin may be provided in a state where a gap is provided, and the ridge roof 24 may be rotatably supported on the second purlin via a hinge. Also in this case, the waterproof sheet 23 can be inserted and removed from the gap between the top of the purlin 21 and the second purlin, and when the waterproof sheet 23 is damaged, the waterproof sheet 23 can be easily replaced.
In the case of the example shown in FIG. 3B and the above-described modification, the ridge roof 24 is not directly supported by the purlin 21 so as to be rotatable, but indirectly rotatable relative to the purlin 21. Will be supported.

  In the roof 20 including the main roof 22 and the ridge roof 24 as in this example, when the main roof 22 is rotated upward and the roof 20 is opened, the main roof 22 is accompanied by the upward rotation. The ridge roof 24 that overlaps the end of the main roof 22 also rotates upward. However, when the main roof 22 is rotated downward to close the roof 20, the ridge roof 24 is also downward. It does not always rotate. Therefore, for example, by adopting an appropriate interlocking link 40 as shown in FIG. 4, the ridge roof 24 may be interlocked with the movement of the main roof 22.

  The interlocking link 40 shown in FIG. 4 is pivotally supported by a pin 41 provided on the ridge roof 24 and is pivotally supported by a long hole 43 so as to be rotatable and slidable on a pin 42 provided on the main roof 22. It has been done. In the state where the roof 20 is closed, the interlock link 40 is such that the pin 42 of the main roof 22 is located at the upper end portion of the long hole 43 as shown in FIG. 4A, but in the state where the roof 20 is opened. As shown in FIG. 4B, the pin 42 of the main roof 22 is located at the lower end portion of the long hole 43. Therefore, when the main roof 22 is rotated downward as indicated by the arrow C from this state, the ridge roof 24 is pulled by the interlocking link 40 along with the downward rotation of the main roof 22, as indicated by the arrow D. Rotate downward.

  By the way, although the storage box 1 of this example may be installed directly on the ground, since the whole is made of wood, the contact portion with the ground tends to corrode. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, it is desirable to install it on the ground via a base 60. Next, details of the base 60 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the base 60 includes a truncated cone-shaped base block 61 formed of concrete or cement, a metal support 62 made of, for example, stainless steel screws protruding from the base block 61, and a storage A wooden support 63 for receiving the bottom plate 11 of the box 1 is provided. In such a base 60, the support 63 is floated by the support 62 so as not to contact the base block 61. This is to prevent the wooden support 63 from being eroded by the alkaline components of the concrete and cement of the base block 61. Further, in the base 60 of this example, a plurality of screws are employed as the support 61, but such a base 60 can be manufactured by a technique as shown in FIG.

  First, a frustoconical fragile container 64 that can be easily broken by a hand such as a paper cup is prepared, and a plurality of screws that serve as support columns 62 are provided so as to penetrate the bottom of the container 64. Screw into the receiving tree 63. At this time, the head of the screw is floated above the bottom of the container 64. Next, a material 65 of the base block 61 such as concrete or cement is placed on the container 64 and cured. Then, after the material in the container 64 is completely cured, if the container 64 is broken and removed, the receiving tree 63 is removed from the base block 61 by a plurality of screws as the support 62 as shown in FIG. The base 60 in a floated state can be obtained.

As mentioned above, although an example of the storage box concerning the present invention was explained, the present invention is not restricted to the above-mentioned example, and may be changed suitably in the range which does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. For example, both the right and left roofs 20 and the left and right side plates 14 can be opened and closed, but the left or right roof 20 and the side plates 14 can be opened and closed, and the other side roof 20 is fixed so that it cannot be opened and closed. May be. In addition, the roof 20 and the side plate 14 are not only opened and closed, but the roof 20 and the side plate 14 may be partially opened and closed such as the lower half of the roof 20 and the upper half of the side plate 14. Good.
Furthermore, although the storage box 1 is formed in a left-right symmetric shape in front view, it may be formed in a left-right asymmetric shape.
In addition, the storage box 1 is entirely made of wood, but may be entirely or partially made of metal or synthetic resin.

The storage box according to the present invention includes, in addition to articles 50 such as a kerosene plastic tank and gardening supplies, for example, a storage box installed in a precinct or site of a temple or the like, and a fire extinguisher or a fireproof bucket for protecting cultural assets. Etc. can also be stored.
Of course, the storage box of the present invention can also be used as a kennel when a pet is kept.
