In the present embodiment, when the door member 7 is viewed from the back side (inner wall part 31 side), the display member 41 is slid to the left side of the locking holding part 51, so that the display member 41 is attached to the container 1 (door member 7). The teaching position is such that the seal 46 is visible from the front through the opening hole 57 (visual opening 52). On the other hand, the display member 41 is slid to the right side of the locking and holding portion 51 when viewed from the back side of the door member 7, so that the seal 46 of the display portion 43 is exposed from the front of the container 1 through the opening hole 57. The part that is not pasted is the empty teaching position that can be visually recognized. Furthermore, the coloring of the base plate 42 of the display member 41 is the same as the coloring of the door member 7, and when the display member 41 is in the empty teaching position, the front side of the door member 7 is almost uniformly colored, and the display member 41 is colored in the same color as the door member 7. When the display member 41 is in the teaching position, the color of the display member 41 on the front side of the door member 7 is different from the color of its surroundings.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 16, and 19, the viewing opening 52 gradually widens from the opening hole 57 toward the open hole 58 side. In other words, the area of the open hole 58 is larger than the area of the open hole 57, and the open wall portion 59 extends almost linearly from the peripheral edge of the open hole 57 toward the peripheral edge of the open hole 58. There is. In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 16, the upper part of the open wall part 59 is more sensitive to the direction perpendicular to the outer wall part 32 than the other parts (both sides and the lower part) of the open wall part 59. It is configured to have a large angle. As a result, the open hole 58 has a substantially rectangular shape that is vertically elongated (the upper edge of the open hole 57 is larger than the height difference between the lower edge of the open hole 57 and the lower edge of the open hole 58). and the upper edge of the open hole 58 is larger). Note that the height of the container 1 of this embodiment is, for example, about 1000 mm. Therefore, even if the display mounting part 35 is placed as high as possible, the user will basically be looking down at the display mounting part 35 to visually recognize (check) the display mode of the display member 41. .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, on the surface side of the base plate 42 of the display member 41, a pair of upper and lower locks are provided at the center of the width direction of the base plate 42 and at the upper and lower positions of the display section 43. A protrusion 47 is provided. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14, and FIG. 60 are provided. As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, when the display member 41 is in the active teaching position and the empty teaching position, the locking protrusion 47 of the display member 41 is in the corresponding locking position. It is inserted into the recess 60 to prevent unnecessary displacement of the display member 41.

In the display mounting part 35, when blow molding the door member 7, a part forming the inner wall part 31 side and a part forming the outer wall part 32 side are crimped together, and in the crimping part, after blow molding, It is configured by forming an opening hole 57. As a result, as shown in FIG. The inner surface side and the outer surface side of the outer wall portion 32 are communicated with each other.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 11, and 12, the door member 7 has a substantially center portion in the vertical direction of the door member 7, and a side portion on the left side when viewed from the front (which is pivotally supported on the container body 2). A lock installation portion 62 in which a lock 61 is installed is provided near the side portion opposite to the side portion where the lock 61 is placed. In this embodiment, by inserting a key (not shown) into a keyhole opened on the front side of the door member 7 and performing a rotation operation, the hook portion 63 (see FIG. 4) arranged on the back side of the door member 7 can be rotated. A dynamic displacement type lock 61 is attached. Moreover, the lock installation part 62 is configured in a concave shape so that the lock 61 installed in the lock installation part 62 does not protrude further forward than the front surface (outer wall part 32) of the door member 7.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, a receiving hole 64 into which the hook portion 63 of the lock 61 is inserted is provided on the inner surface of the left side plate 15 of the container body 2 when viewed from the front. . Then, when the door member 7 is in the closed position, by operating the key inserted into the keyhole of the lock 61, the hook portion 63 is inserted into the receiving hole 64, and the door member 7 is in a locked state where opening is restricted. Then, the hook portion 63 comes out of the receiving hole 64, and the state changes to an unlocked state in which opening of the door member 7 is permitted. In this embodiment, a locking means is constituted by a lock 61, a receiving hole 64, and a key.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 etc., the front side of the door member 7 (outer wall part 32 side) is provided with an open position adjacent to the upper and lower part of the lock installation part 62 to open the opening part 6. A finger hook recess 65 is provided on which the finger tip can be hooked when displacing the door member 7 to the closed position side. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, on the outer surface side of the left side plate 15, a finger hook is provided at an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the front side so that the fingertip can be hung on the back surface of the door member 7 in the closed position. An auxiliary recess 66 is provided. In addition, a handheld recess 67 is provided at the upper portion of the outer surface of each side plate 15, on which the user can place his or her fingertips when lifting the container 1.

As shown in FIG. 24, the container 1 of this embodiment is used as a container for temporarily storing an article 70 (for example, food stored in a foamed resin container) when the article is delivered. As an example of use, the owner of the container 1 and the product supplier have the key to the container 1, and the vendor who receives the order opens the container 1 and stores the product (article 70) in the container 1. Furthermore, the display member 41 is operated from the back side of the door member 7 which is in the open position, and is displaced to the in-service teaching position (see FIGS. 22 and 24). Thereafter, the door member 7 is placed in the closed position and locked. On the other hand, the owner checks the display mode of the display member 41 from outside the container 1 when returning home or the like. When the display mode of the display member 41 is the sticker 46, the container 1 is opened, and the display member 41 is operated from the back side of the door member 7 in the open position to be displaced to the empty teaching position. Then, the product is taken out, the door member 7 is set to the closed position (see FIGS. 4 and 23), and the door is locked.

As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, the operating section 44 of the display member 41 mounted on the display mounting section 35 of the door member 7 is arranged inside the container 1 when the container 1 is in the closed state. As a result, in order to switch the display mode of the display member 41, it is necessary to open the container 1. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the display mode of the display member 41 can be easily switched from the outside of the container 1, the display mode of the display member 41 may be changed by mischief or unintentionally. The situation can be prevented. In particular, since the container 1 is provided with a lock 61 that is locked by key operation, the effect of preventing unnecessary switching operations of the display member 41 is more reliably achieved.

Further, the door member 7 is formed by blow molding, and the display mounting portion 35 is integrally formed with the inner wall portion 31 and the outer wall portion 32. For this reason, the display member 41 is attached to the door member 7, for example, compared to a case where the display attachment portion 35 (locking holding portion 51) is configured as a separate member that is attached to the door member 7 with screws or the like. It is possible to improve workability when doing so. Further, the display mounting portion 35 connects the inner wall portion 31 and the outer wall portion 32, and the inner surface side of the inner wall portion 31 and the outer surface side of the outer wall portion 32 are configured to communicate with each other. Therefore, for example, compared to a configuration in which the inner wall 31 side and the outer wall 32 side of the display mounting portion 35 are not connected, it is possible to increase the strength (rigidity) of the display mounting portion 35 and its surrounding areas. can. Furthermore, the door member 7 can be formed into a closed hollow shape (except for the blow opening), and heat retention can be improved.

In addition, the outward displacement regulating wall portion 56 that comes into contact with the surface (front surface) of the display member 41 mounted on the display mounting portion 35 is parallel to the inner surface of the inner wall portion 31 of the door member 7 and the outer surface of the outer wall portion 32. It is extending. Therefore, the display member 41 held by the lock holding part 51 can slide parallel to the inner surface of the inner wall part 31, and for example, the display member 41 that is displaced between the active teaching position and the empty teaching position can be moved. Compared to the case where the door member 7 is displaced in the thickness direction, the operability of the display member 41 can be improved. Furthermore, the display member 41 held by the locking holding part 51 can slide parallel to the outer surface (front surface) of the outer wall part 32, improving the visibility of the display member 41 from the outside (front) of the container 1, etc. can be achieved.

Further, by providing the outward displacement regulating wall portion 56 on the locking and holding portion 51, the display member 41 can be placed in the locking and holding portion 51 without having to make the thickness of the display member 41 correspond to the thickness of the door member 7. can be held. In particular, the display member 41 can be brought closer to the inner wall portion 31 side, making it easier to operate the display member 41 from the inner wall portion 31 side. In addition, the visibility opening 52 gradually widens from the opening hole 57 toward the open hole 58 (the area of the open hole 58 is wider than the area of the opening hole 57, and the open wall portion 59 is wider than the opening hole 57). The display part 43 of the display member 41 can be easily seen from the outer wall part 32 side.

Furthermore, the viewing opening 52 is expanded upwardly. Therefore, if the person involved in opening and closing the container 1 is in a situation where they look down on the display mounting section 35 arranged on the outer peripheral surface (front) side of the container 1 (for example, if the height of the container 1 is Even if the display portion 43 of the display member 41 is lower than the container 1, the display portion 43 of the display member 41 can be made easier to see from above the container 1. Therefore, checking the display section 43 can be made easier.

In addition, the display member 41 has a continuous curved shape from each auxiliary projecting piece 45 to the base plate 42. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability when mounting the display member 41 on the display mounting section 35. Furthermore, damage to the display member 41 and the locking holding portion 51 when the display member 41 is mounted on the display mounting portion 35 can be suppressed.

Further, the pair of upper and lower slide guide wall portions 54 of the lock holding portion 51 extend in an inclined manner so as to approach each other toward the rear. Therefore, the slide guide wall portion 54 causes the display member 41 attached to the display attachment portion 35 to be displaced toward the inner wall portion 31, that is, the display member 41 is displaced from the lock holding portion 51 (display attachment portion 35). Shedding can also be regulated. Therefore, the display member 41 mounted on the display mounting section 35 can be reliably held while the locking and holding section 51 has a shape that is relatively easy to mold.

Further, from the slide guide wall portion 54 to the inner wall portion 31, a continuous curved surface shape is formed. In this way, by forming the peripheral edge of the mounting operation hole 53 into a curved shape, it is possible to improve the workability when mounting the display member 41 to the display mounting part 35, and also to , damage to the display member 41 can be suppressed.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the content described in the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example. Of course, other applications and modifications not exemplified below are also possible.

(a) In the above embodiment, the container body 2 has a box shape that opens laterally, and the "opening/closing member" that opens and closes the opening 6 of the container body 2 is rotatably connected to the container body 2. Although the present invention is embodied in the door member 7, the present invention is not particularly limited to such a structure. For example, the container body is box-shaped with an upward opening, and the opening/closing member is capable of closing the opening of the container body and is configured to be detachable from the container body (rotationally displaceable). It may also be embodied in a lid member. Further, for example, the container body and the opening/closing member have substantially the same shape, and the locking part provided at the periphery of one opening is locked with the locked part provided at the periphery of the other opening. The present invention may be applied to a container that is configured so that articles can be stored between the container body and the opening/closing member, and that stored articles can be taken out.

(b) Furthermore, there is no particular limitation as to where on the container 1 the display mounting portion 35 is provided, and it may be provided on the top panel 5 or side panel 4 of the container body 2. However, by providing the display mounting portion 35 on the opening/closing member such as the door member 7, it is possible to make it easier to operate the operation portion 44 of the display member 41. Further, in the above embodiment, the bottom panel 3, the top panel 5, the side panels 4, and the door member 7 are all formed into a hollow shape by blow molding, but at least the portion where the display mounting portion 35 is provided is , it suffices to have a hollow shape including an inner wall portion 31 and an outer wall portion 32. For example, the top panel 5 may be formed by injection molding, or the bottom panel 3 may be made of metal.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, the vertical width and the horizontal width of the viewing opening 52 gradually expand toward the front, and in particular, expand relatively largely upward. If the mounting section is provided on the top panel and it is assumed that the person involved in opening and closing the container will mainly check the display mode of the display mounting section from the front of the container, the viewing opening should be relatively large toward the front. It may be configured to expand. Further, it is also possible to configure the viewing opening 52 so that the vertical width and the horizontal width do not widen toward the front. Note that the opening hole 57 may be formed at the same time as blow molding.

(c) In the above embodiment, the locking means is composed of the lock 61, the receiving hole 64, and the key, but it is also possible to adopt another locking mechanism (for example, one that does not require a removable key). good. Note that it is also possible to omit the locking means. However, even when adopting a configuration in which the locking means is omitted, it is desirable to provide a mechanism (for example, a latch bolt, a magnet, etc.) that can hold the door member 7 in the closed position.

(d) In the above embodiment, the content and number of information taught on the display section 43 of the display member 41 are not particularly limited. For example, the display mode of the display member 41 may be changed depending on the type of content. It may be configured so that three or more patterns can be switched and displayed so as to be changeable. For example, the display member and the inner space of the locking and holding part that receives it are disk-shaped, and the display part of the display member includes "Foods that require refrigeration," "Foods that do not require refrigeration," "Non-foods," A sticker with a printed message indicating "no items stored" is pasted on it, and the display member is rotated approximately parallel to the inner wall and outer wall, making it visible through the viewing opening. The display mode of the displayed display member may be changed.

Note that a transparent plate-like body (for example, a resin sheet, etc.), which is housed in the locking holding part 51 together with the display member 41, is installed between the display member 41 and the outward displacement regulating wall part 56. It may be configured as follows. It is desirable that the transparent plate-shaped body attached to the lock holding part 51 is restricted from being displaced in a direction parallel to the outward displacement regulating wall part 56, and furthermore, pressure contact with the display member 41 is avoided. This is desirable. In this case, direct contact with the display member 41 from the outside of the container 1 can be prevented, the display member 41 (display part 43) can be protected, and the display member 41 can be removed from the outside of the container 1. It is possible to more reliably prevent sliding.

(e) In the above embodiment, the container 1 is made of polypropylene, but it may be made of other synthetic resin materials such as polyethylene, PET, and polyamide.

Further, in the above embodiment, a foamed resin layer (insulation layer) may be provided by filling and foaming the foam material in the inner spaces of the door member 7, the bottom panel 3, the top panel 5, and the side panels 4. good. In this case, the heat retention properties of the container 1 can be further improved. Note that the door member 7, the bottom panel 3, the top panel 5, and the side panels 4 formed by blow molding can have a closed hollow shape (except for the blow opening), so there is no space in the inner space. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to fill and foam the foam material without it protruding to the outside.
