Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a transportation container having an inverted trapezoidal front shape and a rectangular planar shape, which can be nested by fitting into each other vertically, and can also be stacked. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shipping container that allows stored products to be loaded and removed laterally, and that typically holds the stored products safely in place.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the attached illustrative drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a container main body, which has a front surface that can be vertically fitted into each other for nesting. It has an inverted trapezoidal shape and a rectangular planar shape. This main body 1 has a rectangular frame structure with left and right side frames 2 and 3 connected at both front and rear sides by a lower connecting member 4 and an upper connecting member 5 in an upwardly expanding manner. In order to enable nesting, both side frames 2,
3, the front and rear vertical frames 2a, 3a and the lower connecting member 4
It is located at a position that protrudes outward.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a storage product support means provided at the bottom of the container body 1, which connects both the front and rear lower connecting members 4.
A positioning member 8, which is installed between the two and has product fitting recesses 7 at regular intervals, and a pair of left and right product receiving members 9 are attached along the length direction.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a gate that can be opened and closed on both side frames 2 and 3, and as shown in FIGS. Both front and rear vertical frames 2a and 3 in 2 and 3
It is supported by a support shaft 12 on the inside of a so that it can be opened and closed freely,
On the inside, there is a positioning member 1 having product fitting recesses 13 at regular intervals like the positioning member 8.
4 is attached, and a locking tool 16 is provided at both the front and rear ends, which is pivotally supported by a support shaft 15 so as to be swingable in the front and rear direction. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, this locking tool 16 can be swung outward to protrude.
Engaging with both the front and rear vertical frames 2a, 3a of the side frames 2, 3,
This prevents the gate 10 from rotating outward from the position of the side frames 2 and 3.

Reference numeral 17 denotes an upper container support member for stacking that is provided at the upper part of both the front and rear ends of the container body 1, and at the end of an arm 18 that is connected to both the left and right ends of the container body 1, It is supported on the outside of the upper corner by a support shaft 19 so as to be able to swing freely in the front and rear directions, and by turning it inward, it rests on the both side frames 2 and 3, and by turning it outward, it moves the container body 1 back and forth. It is constructed so that both ends hang outward. This support member 17 includes both side frames 2,
Anti-slip protrusions 20 are provided that protrude upward when placed on the upper container 3 and fit between the left and right side frames 2 and 3 of the upper container supported by the support member.

The shipping container configured as described above is
Products, such as automobile steering wheels 21
used for transporting and storing. That is, when the left and right sides of the container body 1 are closed by the gates 10, the multiple wheels 21 are connected to the product fitting recess 7 of the positioning member 8 in the support means 6 at the bottom and both gates 10. They can be stored in parallel in the container body 1 so that the lower side and both left and right sides fit into the product fitting recess 13 of the positioning member 14 at the positioning member 14 .

When the used containers containing products are stacked as shown by the imaginary lines in FIGS. Rotate it inward and place it on the left and right frames 2 and 3, and place the front and rear ends of the left and right frames 2 and 3 of the upper container on the support member 17 of the lower container. Good. At this time, the anti-slip protrusion 20 on the support member 17 is fitted between the left and right side frames 2 and 3 of the upper container, and the protrusion 20
By fitting between the pair of front and rear lower connecting members 4 of the upper container, it is possible to prevent the upper container from slipping in any of the left, right, front and rear directions.

In this stacked state, the products stored in each container, that is, the wheels 21, can be disposed of as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The gate 10 on the side from which you want to take out the locking tool 16
By opening and moving it so as to remove it from the vertical frames 2a and 3a of the side frames 2 and 3, and opening it outward around the support shaft 12, it can be taken out laterally through the circumferential side frame of the side frames 2 and 3. I can do it.

When the container is not in use, the front and rear support members 17 are rotated outward as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. In the rotated state, the containers can be nested by fitting each other vertically as shown in FIG. Of course, at this time, the gate 10, which is rotated onto the bottom, is located in the space formed between the bottoms of the upper and lower containers.

The transportation container of the present invention can be implemented and used as described above, and has a container main body having an inverted trapezoidal front shape and a rectangular planar shape, which can be nested by fitting into each other vertically. The upper part pivotally supports the upper container support members for stacking, which are placed on the left and right side frames by rotating inward, and are placed on the outside of both the front and rear ends of the container body by rotating outward. The frame structure is such that the stored products can be taken in and taken out in the horizontal direction, and a gate that can be opened and closed is pivotally supported on both sides of the frame, and the gate has a stored product positioning member on the inside that engages with the stored products in the closed state. The gate is constructed so that it can be laid down on the bottom of the container main body during nesting, so when not in use, it can be stored in a low-bulk state by fitting vertically into each other and nesting. In use, not only can products be stacked, but products can also be taken in and out horizontally of the container even in the stacked state, so products can be stored in the stacked containers. It can be conveniently used as a storage shelf. Furthermore, the stored products can be reliably held at a predetermined position within the container by using the product fitting recess of the product positioning member provided on the gate, allowing safe storage and transportation.

The product positioning member 8 in the product support means 6, the product receiving member 9, and the product positioning member 14 in both gates 10 are made of a material with a cushioning effect,
For example, it is desirable to construct it from rubber of appropriate hardness.
