Description

  The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly, can prevent backlash of the stored item, and can suitably protect the stored item from impact, vibration, and rocking, particularly smoothly in the direction in which the stored item is taken in and out. The present invention relates to a container that is slidable and that is less slidable in other directions and that can stably store an item.

  In order to prevent looseness of the contents accommodated in the container or to protect the contents from impact, vibration, or swing, a container provided with a recess having a shape into which the contents are fitted is widely used. However, such a container can only store a specific shape and a specific size of the container, and the container is bulky with respect to the size of the container. The fact is that it is not used.

  On the other hand, an air bubble sheet has been proposed in which a flat synthetic resin film is bonded to a synthetic resin film having a large number of convex portions (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-5-77346

  For example, in order to prevent rattling in the container using the bubble sheet described in Patent Document 1, the inside of the container is divided by a partition with an interval corresponding to the width of the contents, and the surface of the partition or the inner surface of the container is separated. It is conceivable to attach the bubble sheet described in Patent Document 1. In this case, if the contents are accommodated in the space between the partitions, the contents are sandwiched between the partitions via the bubble sheet, and thus the play in the width direction of the partitions can be prevented.

  However, since the convex part of the bubble sheet has a certain thickness from the entrance part to the bottom part of the partition, there is a problem that it is difficult to accommodate the accommodation object by being caught by the convex part at the entrance part when accommodating the contents between the partitions. Further, when the number of items to be stored is small, there arises a problem that the items slide in the length direction of the partition, and move or fall. In addition, in order to prevent this sliding, the surface of the air bubble sheet is subjected to a non-slip treatment, or if a narrow air pressure between the partitions is increased by using a thick air bubble sheet, the contents are accommodated or taken out between the partitions. It becomes difficult to do.

  In addition, the above-described conventional container is suitable for a container having a rectangular shape and a constant thickness.For example, a container having a different thickness or shape from the middle, such as a spherical or elliptical container or a cassette block, It is difficult or impossible to accommodate such that it does not slide or swing.

  Furthermore, in conventional containers, the storage location is fixed, and if the location is shifted even a little, it cannot be stored, and a reduction in workability is inevitable.

  In view of such circumstances, the present invention solves the above-described problems of the prior art. For example, it is easy to accommodate the contents in the container (between the partitions), and it is easy to slide in the direction (vertical direction) to be accommodated. It is difficult to slide and swing in the length direction (horizontal direction), that is, it is easy to accommodate and take out, and the movement and fall of the contents are prevented, and further the influence of the shape and size of the contents It is an object of the present invention to provide a container that is difficult to receive and can be stably stored in any place regardless of the storage place.

In order to achieve the above object, a feature of the present invention is a rectangular container having at least one open surface, and an elongated elastic portion is provided on the inner surface of the container along a direction in which an object is received or taken out. It is extended and arranged in multiple rows along one direction orthogonal to the direction of accommodation or removal, the elastic part is curved and protrudes toward the inside of the container , and one end in the length direction of the elastic part is The container is opened at the bottom side of the container.

Another feature of the present invention includes the above container in which the inside of the container is partitioned by a partition, and the partition is provided with an elastic portion that curves and protrudes toward the inside of the partition.

Another feature of the present invention is that the sheet-like member is cut into an elongated shape by a large number of cuts leaving at least one of the end portions, and the elongated portion is curved and protruded to one side. In addition, the above-mentioned container in which the elongated portion is an elastic portion by sticking the sheet-like member to the inner surface or partition of the container is used as the content.

  Yet another feature of the present invention includes the container described above that houses a cassette block.

  In the container according to the present invention, a large number of the elongated elastic portions arranged in parallel are curved and project, and the elastic portion is provided in parallel with the direction in which the contents are accommodated or taken out from the container. In addition, the container can be easily slid when accommodated in or taken out from the container, and can be made difficult to slide in the direction in which the contents are arranged. It is prevented from swinging or falling down.

  Further, the container of the present invention has a large expansion / contraction (elastic deformation) force of the elastic portion, so that it is not easily affected by the shape and size of the container. Even an object whose shape changes can be stably accommodated.

  In addition, since one end of the elastic portion in the length direction is opened, the expansion / contraction force of the elastic portion is increased, and the restriction on the shape and size of the stored item is less likely to be received. In this case, it is preferable that the lower side of the container, that is, the bottom surface side is opened from the surface for storing and taking out the stored items.

  Furthermore, the container of the present invention is not limited in its storage location, and can be stored stably by preventing it from sliding, swinging and falling immediately by being stored in an arbitrary location.

  If the elastic part is attached by sticking the elongated sheet-like member on the inner surface or partition of the container, the elastic part can be easily and efficiently provided, and the container having the above effect can be easily obtained. Is possible.

  The container 1 of the present invention is a rectangular container in which at least one surface (upper surface in the example of FIG. 1) is released, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, for example. The elastic part 2 is extended along the direction (up-and-down direction in the example of FIGS. 1-4) of the accommodation or taken-out, and the direction orthogonal to the said accommodation or removal direction (example of FIGS. 1-4) In the horizontal direction), and the elastic portion 2 is curved and protrudes toward the inside of the container.

The container 1 of the present invention is provided with an elastic part 2 on the inner surface of the container body 3 and, if necessary, the partition 4.
In the present invention, the elastic portion 2 is an elongated member, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the inside of the container 1, provided that the inside of the container 1 is partitioned by a partition, Curved and protruding. The elastic part 2 tries to deform into a flat shape by the pressure from the surface direction of the container 1, but resists the pressure from the surface direction by the elastic repulsive force to return to the original curved shape, absorbs the impact, Eliminate rattling and rocking.
The curved shape of the elastic portion 2 is not particularly limited as long as it can counteract the pressure from the surface direction of the container 1 with an elastic repulsive force, but can be an arc shape as shown in FIG.

In the present invention, the shape of the elastic portion 2 is not particularly limited as long as it is elongated, but a strip shape (see FIGS. 1, 3, and 4) and a rod shape (see FIGS. 7, 8, and 9) can be exemplified. . It is also possible to combine strips and rods.
The elastic part 2 may be connected without being open at both ends in the length direction, and may be open at one end, but one end is open in terms of the expansion / contraction force of the elastic part 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower side of the container, that is, the bottom side of the container is opened from the surface for storing and taking out the contents as shown in FIG. 4 rather than the upper side of the container, that is, the inlet side of the container. It is preferable.

In the container 1 of the present invention, the elastic portion 2 extends along the direction in which the stored item is stored or taken out (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “the loading / unloading direction”). For example, in the container of FIG. 1, the elastic material 2 is extended in the vertical direction because the contents are stored in the downward direction of the container and are extracted in the upward direction of the container.
For this reason, the elastic part 2 functions like a rail when sliding the stored object for storing or taking out, and the storing and taking out of the stored object M can be performed smoothly.

  In the container 1 of the present invention, a large number of elastic portions 2 are arranged in parallel along a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the stored item is stored or taken out. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, since the stored items are configured to be stored and taken out in the vertical direction, a large number of elastic portions 2 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction.

When the container M is accommodated in the container 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the elastic part 2p of the portion with which the container M abuts is elastically deformed and compressed, and the elastic part 2n adjacent to the front and rear thereof. Remains curved and protruding without elastic deformation. For this reason, even when a force in the length direction of the partition 4 is applied to the stored matter M in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the stored item is stored or taken out, the side surface of the stored item M comes into contact with the elastic portion 2n close to the front and rear. As a result, the movement, swinging and overturning of the contents M due to the skid are prevented.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, since the elastic part 2n which is not elastically deformed is interposed between the stored items M, the stored item M can be easily placed by placing a finger on the gap or using tweezers or tongs. It can also be taken out.

As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9, according to the container of the present invention, the container M can be suitably accommodated even when the shape of the contents M is a complicated shape.
The container in FIG. 7 is an example in which a rod-shaped elastic portion 2 is used instead of the strip shape in the containers in FIGS.
As an example of the container M having a complicated shape, a cassette block as shown in FIG. The cassette block is obtained by attaching paraffin embedded with a sample S such as a pathological tissue to the back surface of the cassette, and is necessary when preparing a preparation for observing the sample S with a microscope.
As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the accommodation object M (cassette block) having a complicated shape is elastically held by the elastic portion 2p of the part with which the accommodation object M abuts. Since there is an elastic portion 2n that is not elastically deformed next to the abutting elastic portion 2p, even if the container M having a complicated shape is displaced back and forth, it is supported by the elastic portion 2n that is not deformed as an auxiliary. Even an atypical container M does not rock or fall within the container.
In FIG. 9A, the container M has an elliptical shape. However, as shown in FIG. 9B, the elastic part 2n that is elastically held by the elastic part 2n in accordance with the shape of the container M and does not further deform. Is supported in an auxiliary manner.

  In the present invention, with respect to the method of attaching the elastic part 2 in the container 1 main body, the elastic part 2 may be produced integrally with the container 1 or the elastic part 2 is produced separately and then attached to the container 1. The method may be used. Among them, a member in which a large number of strip-like elongated members are continuously formed by leaving a part of the sheet-like member and cutting it in parallel (hereinafter, such a member may be referred to as “sliced sheet 5”). It is easy to create and attach the shredded sheet 5 to the inside of the container main body and use the cut strip-shaped member as the elastic portion 2.

The production method of the shredded sheet 5 is not particularly limited, but the sheet-like member is formed into a strip shape by leaving at least one of the end portions to be cut into a plurality of cuts, and this strip-shaped portion is formed on one side, the other side. An example is a method in which at least one of the sides is curved / protruded to make the elastic portion 2 between adjacent cuts. FIG. 10 shows an example of the shredded sheet 5 that is left uncut, and FIG. 11 shows an example of the shredded sheet 5 that is left uncut. The portions that have been cut into strips (strips) may be curved and protruded to form elastic portions 2 (see FIGS. 10B and 11B), or elastic every other portion. The portion 2 can be formed and the remainder can be used as a bonding margin 5a for bonding to the inner wall or partition of the container (see FIGS. 10 (c) and 11 (c)).
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, a sheet-like member in which both of them are left uncut may be created, and then the lower ends may be separated from the sheet every other piece.

  There are no particular limitations on the size (spacing and length of cuts), the degree of curvature / protrusion, etc. of the elastic part 2, and the impact and vibration required depending on the type of material, the size and weight of the container contents, etc. What is necessary is just to determine suitably according to an absorption and relaxation action. Further, the size (width and length) and the degree of curvature of the elastic portion 2 do not have to be constant, and may be irregular, and the elastic repulsive force is adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the elastic portion. May be.

In the present invention, the material of the container body 3 is not particularly limited as long as sufficient rigidity and strength can be obtained. For example, wood, resin, etc. can be used, but it is lightweight, has good workability, and has sufficient strength. In view of this, a resin is preferable. The resin is not particularly limited, and specifically, polyolefin resin such as polyethylene and polypropylene, ABS resin, AES resin, vinyl chloride resin, polyacetal resin, fluorine resin, polycarbonate resin, polyamide (nylon) resin, polyester resin, etc. Thermosetting resins such as thermoplastic resins, phenol resins, urea resins, polyester resins, silicon resins, and epoxy resins can be used. Biodegradable plastics such as polylactic acid resin, polybutylene succinate, polyamide 11, polyhydroxybutyric acid, biomass plastics, and the like can also be used.
Any member can be used for the elastic portion 2 as long as a sufficient elastic repulsive force is obtained, and all the above-described resins can be used. In addition, as the metal material, spring steel such as carbon steel, silicon-manganese steel, and chromium-manganese steel can be suitably used. Furthermore, it is also possible to insert a metal wire into the resin.

As described above, according to the container of the present invention, a large number of elongated elastic portions extending in the loading / unloading direction are arranged in parallel in the direction perpendicular to the loading / unloading direction. It is easy to put in and out, and sliding, swinging and overturning are suppressed in the length direction of the partition, so that movement, swinging and overturning of the contents in the partition can be prevented.
In addition, since the elastic portion of the present invention has a large expansion / contraction (elastic deformation) force, it is less subject to restrictions on the shape and size of the contents, and at the same time it is accommodated in any case regardless of the accommodation location. It is extremely useful because it can be stably accommodated.
