JP 2013-31547 A

  However, when a plurality of conventional storage box / commodity display stands are prepared and stacked to be used as a storage box, the lower storage box has four side plates that are plate-like, and the upper opening is blocked. The contents are not visible. For this reason, when the person who transports the storage box changes, or when transporting the temporarily stored thing again, when checking the contents of the lower storage box, remove the upper storage box stacked one by one, It was necessary to check the contents. Accordingly, there has been a demand for the development of a storage box / commodity display stand that can confirm the contents from the outside even if the storage boxes are stacked. In addition, although said subject can be solved by forming a slit in the side plate of a storage box, when this is turned upside down and used as a product display stand, the inside of a product display stand will be visible from the slit of a side plate. The inside of the merchandise display stand is essentially nothing to show. For example, if the floor surface, which is the installation surface, can be seen, it is not preferable from the design and display aspects.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage box combined with a storage box that can be seen from the gap between the side plates when it is turned upside down and cannot be seen when used as a stage box. There is to do.

  That is, the present invention solves the above-described problem, and is a box-shaped body including a top plate and a plurality of side plates, and can be used as a storage box by turning upside down. Among them, at least one side plate has a partial opening structure, and the partial opening structure is formed by arranging a large number of elongate horizontal members having inclined portions that are inclined when viewed from the side by forming adjacent gaps in the vertical direction. The horizontal member is disposed at the storage box stand, looking down at an angle of 60 degrees at the maximum from the horizontal line of sight, and the gap of the adjacent gap can be seen, and at the stage box holder, it is at least 0 degree from the horizontal line of sight. It is intended to provide a storage box / stage box characterized in that the adjacent gap is hidden by looking down at an angle.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when using it as a storage box upside down, the inside of a storage box can be seen from the adjacent clearance of a side plate, and when using as a stage box, the storage box combined use stage box which cannot see the inside of a box can be provided. .

It is a perspective view of the storage box combined stage box in the embodiment of the present invention. It is a state figure which uses the storage box combined stage box of FIG. 1 as a storage box. It is a figure explaining the partial opening structure of the storage box combined use stage box of FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a circle (reference numeral X) in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a partial end view of the partial opening structure as viewed from the Y direction in FIG. 4. FIG. 5 is a side view of a part of the partial opening structure as viewed from the Y direction in FIG. 4. It is a partial end elevation of the partial opening structure in the state which uses the storage box combined stage box of FIG. 1 as a stage box. It is another example of the partial opening structure, and is an end view of a part of the partial opening structure in the storage box. It is another example of the partial opening structure, and is an end view of a part of the partial opening structure in the stage box.

  A storage box combined stage box (hereinafter also referred to as “combined box”) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, “upper”, “upper”, “lower”, and “lower” refer to positions in the stage box holder. The combined box 10 is a box-shaped body including a top plate 11 and a plurality of side plates 12a to 12d in this example, and the bottom portion is open and can be used as a storage box by turning upside down. 1 is a stage box holder, and FIG. 2 is a storage box holder. The stage box is also referred to as a product display stand. The stage box can be used not only as a product display stand but also as a leg stand or a step stand for supporting various items.

  In the combined box 10, at least one of the plurality (four) of side plates 12 a to 12 d, in this example, all of the four side plates 12 a to 12 d have the partial opening structure 2. In one side plate, the partial opening structure 2 may be formed on the entire side plate or may be formed partially. In the case where the partial opening structure 2 is partially formed on one side plate, it is preferably a region of 60% to 90% with respect to the vertical direction at the central portion in the vertical direction, and with respect to the horizontal direction at the central portion in the horizontal direction. Preferably, it is formed in an area of 80 to 100%. The partial opening structure 2 can exhibit the effects of the present invention while maintaining strength by partially forming the partial opening structure 2 in one side plate in the vertical direction.

  The partial opening structure 2 is provided with a plurality of long transverse members 21a to 21f each having an inclined portion 29 that is inclined when viewed from the side, with adjacent gaps 24 formed in the vertical direction. The horizontal members 21a to 21f have the same shape, and a pair of adjacent horizontal members 21a and 21b will be described with reference to FIGS. The elongate shape is a horizontally long thing, and means a thing whose lateral length is 5 times or more, preferably 10 times or more with respect to the longitudinal length (length in the vertical direction). The horizontal member 21 has inclined portions 212a and 213a that are inclined in a side view. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the horizontal member 21 a includes a plate-like portion 211 a having a vertically long side view at the center in the vertical direction, an upper inclined portion 213 a extending obliquely upward and outward from the upper end of the plate-like portion 211 a, The lower inclined portion 212a extending obliquely outwardly from the lower end of the shape portion 211a has a substantially horizontal U-shape when viewed from the side. In addition, an adjacent gap means the clearance gap between the horizontal members adjoining up and down.

  Although the height dimension of the horizontal member 21a differs depending on the size of the dual-purpose box and the number of horizontal members used and cannot be determined unconditionally, it is generally 9 to 18 mm, preferably 12 to 15 m. The upper inclined portion 213a extends obliquely upward and outward from the upper end of the plate-like portion 211a at an angle of 18 to 22 degrees, preferably 19 to 21 degrees, and the lower inclined portion 212a is the lower end of the plate-like portion 211a. Extends outward and obliquely downward at an angle of 12 to 18 degrees, preferably 14 to 16 degrees. In the stage box placement shown in FIG. 7, the length extending from the plate-like portion 211a of the lower inclined portion 212a is larger than the length extending from the plate-like portion 211a of the upper inclined portion 213a. Thus, in the stage box placement, the lower inclined portion 212a becomes a shielding plate when looking down from an oblique direction.

In the combined box 10, a gap (adjacent gap) 24 is formed between the two horizontal members 21a and 21b. The arrangement of the horizontal members 21a to 21f is such that the adjacent gap 24 can be seen from the oblique direction in the storage box stand (FIG. 5), and the adjacent gap 24 can be hidden from the oblique direction in the stage box stand (FIG. 7). . In other words, the dual-purpose box 10 is such that the adjacent gap 24 is always in a position to look down from the human eye. As shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal members 21a and 21b are disposed at the angle α that is 60 degrees (60 degrees or less) at maximum from the horizontal line of sight Z _1h in the storage box (Z ₁ direction). The gap is visible. The maximum angle α is the angle a line connecting the rear end 218a of the lower transverse member 21a adjacent the lower end 218b and the lower end 218b of the horizontal member 21b and horizontal members 21b located inside is _{Z 1} direction. In FIG. 5, reference numerals 218a and 218b are drawn on the horizontal members 21e and 21f, but the same applies to the horizontal members 21a and 21b. Further, the horizontal members 21a and 21b are disposed at a stage box position looking down at an angle α that is at least 0 degree, preferably at least 20 degrees (25 degrees in FIG. 7) from the horizontal line of sight Z _2h (Z ₂ direction). The adjacent gap is hidden. The angle β is the angle line connecting the rear end 219b of the lower horizontal member 21b adjacent the lower end 219a and the lower end 219a of the horizontal member 21a and the horizontal member 21a located inside is _{Z 2} direction. Stage boxes are usually used in a stack of 1 or 2 stages, and at most 3 stages. For this reason, in the state where the three stage boxes are stacked, the stage boxes are looked down at a position 2 m away from the horizontal direction and 1.3 m from the vertical direction, and all adjacent gaps are hidden. Is. The vertical direction 1.3 m is a numerical value that takes into account the heights of workers and customers. If the worker and the customer have a line of sight (height of eyes) of 1.3 m or more in the vertical direction, the adjacent gap 24 is naturally hidden. Further, the adjacent gap 24 may be a gap of about 5 mm at maximum, preferably about 3 mm at maximum in a side view (horizontal line of sight). This is because when the stage box is used, even if three units are stacked, the line of sight of the operator and the customer does not become a horizontal line of sight. Further, the height of one horizontal member may be 10 to 15 mm, preferably 11 to 14 mm, and the horizontal length (maximum thickness) of the horizontal member may be about 10 to 15 mm, preferably about 11 to 14 mm.

The horizontal members 21a to 21f look down from the oblique direction in the storage box holder, and the adjacent gap 24 can be seen (FIG. 5). For this reason, when a plurality of dual-purpose boxes 10 are prepared and stacked and used as a storage box, the operator can see the contents from the adjacent gap 24 even when the upper opening 13 is closed in the storage box that is in the lower stage. it is (in Fig. 5, _{Z 1} direction). For this reason, when the person who transports the storage box changes, or when transporting the temporarily stored one again, the contents of the storage box can be checked instantly without checking the contents of the storage box one by one. it can. Further, the lateral members 21a to 21f are looked down from the oblique direction when the stage box is placed, and the adjacent gap 24 is hidden (FIG. 7). Accordingly, the inside of the stage box is not seen, and for example, the floor surface that is the installation surface cannot be seen, which is preferable from the design and display aspects.

  In the combined box 10, a plurality of vertical members 22 a to 22 c are arranged at a predetermined pitch in the partial opening structure 2, and the vertical members 22 a to 22 c and the horizontal members 21 a to 21 f are fixed at intersections. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the partial opening structure 2 improves.

  In the partial opening structure 2, as shown in FIG. 6, the transverse members 21 a to 21 g and the longitudinal members 22 a to 22 c intersect, and both ends of the transverse members 21 a to 21 g are fixed to the corner posts of the dual purpose box 10. Since 22a-22c is fixed to the lower crosspiece member 23b and the upper crosspiece member 23a, it functions as a reinforcing member (rib member). That is, as shown in FIG. 6, since the side members 21a to 21g have a specific substantially U shape when viewed from the side, the bonding area with the vertical members 22a to 22c increases. For this reason, the fixing strength of the transverse members 21a to 21g is increased, and the strength of the partial opening structure 2 is increased. Further, the inner side 25a of the transverse member 21a is a vertical and flat surface. Thereby, when using the combined use box 10 as a storage box, the goods stored in the storage box are not damaged. The inner side 25a of the horizontal member 21a refers to the side facing into the combined box 10.

  In addition, in one side plate 12a, the upper part of the partial opening structure 2 is an upper beam member 23a, and the lower part of the partial opening structure 2 is a lower beam member 23b. The upper crosspiece member 23a and the lower crosspiece member 23b are respectively positioned below and above the partial opening structure 2 in one side plate. The upper crosspiece member 23a has an upper end fixed to the top plate 11, and a lower end fixed to one end of the vertical members 22a to 22c. The upper crosspiece member 23a has a predetermined thickness (thickness of the side plate), and a rectangular frame is formed by the four upper crosspiece members 23a. The inside is a rib structure. In addition, the lower beam member 23b has the other ends of the vertical members 22a to 22c fixed to the upper end, has a predetermined thickness (thickness of the side plate), and forms a square frame with the four lower beam members 23b. Is a rib structure. Since the combined use box 10 has such a structure, it has a strong strength against pressing and can be used for a stage box.

Another modification of the partial opening structure 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 shows a storage box holder, and FIG. 9 shows a stage box holder. 8 and 9, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and different points are mainly described. That is, the partial opening structure 2a is different from the partial opening structure 2 in the shape of the transverse member. That is, the lateral members 31a to 31f are long members, and are formed by placing a substantially rectangular plate-like member obliquely. The inner surface 311a of the transverse member 31a is a vertical and flat surface. Thereby, when using the combined use box 10 as a storage box, the goods stored in the storage box are not damaged. The horizontal members 31a to 31f have a smaller bonding area with the vertical members 22a to 22c than the horizontal members 21a to 21f. Therefore, although the fixing strength is not strong, the same effect as the partial opening structure 2 is achieved. Side members 31a, 31b disposed of in this embodiment, when viewed at an angle is 0 degrees from horizontal Looking Z _2h at every stage box alpha (Z ₂ direction) in which the adjacent clearance is hidden. That is, in the stage box placement, the adjacent gap is hidden by looking down at an angle α of 0 degree or more from the horizontal line of sight Z _2h . The angle beta (zero angle), the angle of a line connecting the rear end 219b of the lower horizontal member 31b adjacent the lower end 219a and the lower end 219a of the horizontal member 31a and the horizontal member 31a located inside is _{Z 2} direction It is. In FIG. 9, _{Z 2} and _{Z 2h} line transverse member 31c, although drawn 31d, transverse member 31a, is the same across 31b.

  Next, the usage method of the combined use box 10 is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the combined box 10 is used as a stage box. Although FIG. 1 shows a single dual-purpose box, a plurality of boxes may be prepared and used in a stacked manner. In addition, there are various stacking methods, and it is also possible to form a platform shape. Goods are displayed on the top plate 11 of the combined use box 10. In the partial opening structure 2 of the dual-purpose box 10, the adjacent gap 24 cannot be seen from the eyes of the operator or customer as shown in FIG. For this reason, it is excellent in design and does not impair the presentation effect. Moreover, the partial opening structure 2 is reinforced with a horizontal member and a vertical member having a specific cross-sectional shape, and can sufficiently withstand the weight of the product.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the combined box 10 is used as a storage box. Although FIG. 2 shows a single dual-purpose box, a plurality of boxes may be prepared and used in a stacked manner. In the combined box 10, a product is introduced from the upper opening 13 and the product is stored in the box. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the partial opening structure 2 of the dual-purpose box 10, the adjacent gap 24 can be seen from the eyes of the operator or customer. For this reason, when the dual-purpose boxes 10 are stacked and used as a storage box, the operator can see the contents from the adjacent gap 24 even if the storage box is in the lower stage. For this reason, when the person who transports the storage box changes, or when transporting the temporarily stored one again, the contents of the storage box can be checked instantly without checking the contents of the storage box one by one. it can.

  The dual-purpose box of the present invention is a box-shaped body including a top plate and a plurality of side plates, and the plurality of side plates is not limited to the four in the embodiment, and may be three or five. When there are three side plates, the plan view is a triangle, and when there are five side plates, the plan view is a pentagon. In the combined box of the present invention, the number of the vertical members installed is not limited to three according to the size of the combined box, but is not limited to three in the above embodiment, and may be two or four or more. Good. If the number is too large, it is not preferable in that the gap becomes small. In the dual-use box of the present invention, the number of horizontal members to be installed cannot be determined unconditionally depending on the size of the double-use box, but is not limited to the six in the above embodiment, and is four, five, or seven or more. There may be. In the dual-use box of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a gripping through hole 14 may be formed in the small two side plates 12 c and 12 d among the four side plates.

  The combined use box of the present invention may be foldable. As the folding method, a known method in which the side plate is folded inward can be applied. That is, first, the two small side plates are folded inward, and then the two large side plates are folded inward. In the combined box of the present invention, the outer end and the inner end of the horizontal member in the partial opening structure 2 in the side plate are the outer ends of the upper beam member 23a and the lower beam member 23b when there are the upper beam member 23a and the lower beam member 23b. Further, it is preferable that the inner end is flush with the inner end or the inner end is recessed from the outer end and the inner end of the upper crosspiece member 23a and the lower crosspiece member 23b. This is because the transverse member is a long bar member, and if there is a portion protruding from the side surface, damage or the like may occur due to an unintended external force.

  In the present invention, the inclined portion having the inclined side view is not limited to the inclined portion in which the flat plate portion having a uniform thickness as in the above-described embodiment is disposed in an inclined shape, and is a plate shape having a non-uniform thickness. An inclined portion in which the portion is arranged in an inclined shape may be used. The non-uniform plate-like portion includes a plate-like portion having one or both plate-like surfaces that are convex or arched, particularly a flat elliptical cross section.
