Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a storage case for storing small items such as pencil cases and sweets containers, which has a removable inner plate inside the case body.In particular, the inner plate can be easily removed from the case body. Regarding the storage case.

Conventionally, this type of storage case has a removable inner tray inside the case body, and is configured so that items can be stored separately in the case body and the inner tray.For example, a pencil case, a fancy case, etc. , confectionery containers, cosmetic cases, etc.

In such a conventional storage case, an inner tray is removably placed on the top opening of the case body to completely close the top opening.
For this reason, it has been extremely difficult to remove the inner plate from the case body. Therefore, in conventional storage cases, a finger hole into which a fingertip can be inserted is provided in the bottom plate of the inner tray, and the inner tray is removed from the case body by inserting the fingertip into the finger hole and hooking the fingertip. However, such an inner tray has the disadvantage that not only small objects may fall out of the finger holes, but also that there is a risk of unexpected injury to the fingers depending on how the fingertips are inserted into the finger holes.

Furthermore, some conventional storage cases have a locking protrusion protruding from the outer peripheral edge of the inner plate, and the inner plate can be removed from the case body by hooking the locking protrusion onto the fingertip. However, since such a locking protrusion has a very small protrusion so as not to obstruct the storage of items into the inner tray, it does not catch the fingertips sufficiently and does not allow the items to be inserted smoothly. A drawback was that it was difficult to remove the plate from the case body.

This invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a storage case which has a simple structure and allows the inner plate to be removed from the case body very easily and safely.

In order to achieve this purpose, the storage case according to the present invention has a case body that can store items, and a removable inner plate that partitions the inside of the case body in the vertical direction. The present invention is characterized in that an inner plate pushing tongue piece which is hinged to be openable and closable and which pushes up one side of the inner plate upward is provided on the cover body so as to be interlocked with the opening and closing of the cover body.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the storage case according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention applied to a pencil case, with the inner plate removed and the lid fully opened. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a case body formed in the shape of a rectangular box, and the upper surface thereof is entirely open. A dish-shaped inner plate 2 (see Fig. 2) is removably fitted into the upper opening of the case body 1, and the upper edge of the inner plate 2 is bent so as to protrude outward. The outer flange 2a is engaged with the open end of the upper surface of the case body 1, so that the entire surface of the upper opening is closed. A lid 3 is hinged to the outer surface of a case back plate 1a on the back side of the case body 1 with a hinge pin 4 so as to be openable and closable. The lid 3 is formed into a rectangular box shape, and is loosely fitted around the upper outer periphery of the case body 1 to close the upper opening of the inner tray 2, as shown in FIG. 2A. A hinge pin 4 is fixed to the lower end of the lid back plate 3a on the back side of the lid body 3 so as to be parallel to this lower edge, and the hinge pin 4 rotates in conjunction with opening and closing of the lid body 3. There is. Both left and right shaft ends of the hinge pin 4 are inserted into bearing protrusions 1b that protrude to the left and right, respectively, so as to protrude outward from the outer surface of the case back plate 1a, and are rotatable. is supported by.

A locking recess 3c recessed inward is provided at the lower edge of the lid front plate 3b of the lid body 3 at a longitudinally intermediate portion thereof, and the outer surface of the case front plate 1e is engaged with the locking recess 3c corresponding to the locking recess 3c. The locking protrusion 1f is provided so as to protrude outward, and the locking projections 3c and 1f are engaged with each other to lock the lid 3 to the case body 1 when fully closed. There is. In addition, case back plate 1
A pair of recesses 1c are formed on the outer surface of the hinge pin 4 along the axial direction of the hinge pin 4 on the left and right sides in FIG. . A rectangular tongue window 1d is opened in the case back plate 1a at a location corresponding to the left and right intermediate parts of the pair of recesses 1c, and the inner plate push-up tongue 5 extends from the tongue window 1d to the inside of the case body 1. is prominent. The inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 has a rectangular plate of a required length, the base end of which is fixed to the approximately middle part of the hinge pin 4 in the axial direction, and the distal end thereof has a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. is formed. The inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 is fixed to the hinge pin 4 at a required angle, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, respectively. That is, when the lid 3 is fully closed to the case body 1 as shown in FIG. When the lid body 3 is fully opened as shown in FIG.
Push up the rear side of the bottom part slightly upward from its fitted position to make the upper edge of the inner plate 2 in the figure slightly protrude upward from the open end of the case body 1, and moreover, abut against the upper inner surface of the case back plate 1a. It is fixed to the hinge pin 4 at the required angle.

Therefore, now, as shown in FIG. 2A, the lid body 3
When closed in the case body 1, the tip of the inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 faces downward within the case body 1 below the inner plate 2, and the inner plate 2 is also fitted into the upper opening of the case body 1. It is fitted in the landing position. Further, the locking recess 3c of the lid body 3 is connected to the locking convex portion 1f of the case body 1.
The cover body 3 is locked to the case body 1 by being engaged with the case body 1.

Next, when the engagement between the locking concave and convex portions 3c and 1f is released and the lid 3 is fully opened as shown in FIG. 2B, the hinge pin 4 rotates as the lid 3 is fully opened. The inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 fixed to is rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure using the hinge pin 4 as a fulcrum. For this purpose, the tip of the inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 pushes up the back side of the lower surface of the bottom plate of the inner plate 2 upwards from below, and pushes the upper edge of the back side of the inner plate 2 onto the case body 1.
protrude slightly upward from the open end of the top surface. For this reason, the upper edge of the back side of the inner plate 2 that protrudes slightly upward can be very easily pinched with the fingertips, and the inner plate 2 can be removed from the case body 1 very easily.

In addition, when the lid body 3 is fully opened, the top surface of the tip of the inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 touches the case back plate 1, as shown in FIG. 2B.
Since it comes into contact with the upper part of the inner surface of the lid 3, the fully opening movement of the lid 3 is restricted. That is, the inner plate push-up tongue piece 5 also serves as a stopper when the lid body 3 is opened.

In the above-described embodiment, the inner plate push-up tongue piece is fixed to the axially intermediate portion of the hinge pin, but it may be fixed to both the left and right shaft ends of the hinge pin, respectively.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention provides a removable inner plate in a case body that can store items, partitions the inside of the case body in the vertical direction, and a lid body that is hinged to the case body so that it can be opened and closed. An inner plate push-up tongue piece for pushing up one side of the inner plate is provided on the lid body so as to be interlocked with opening and closing of the lid body. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the lid is fully opened,
One side of the inner plate is pushed up by the inner plate push-up tongue piece and protrudes above the case body, so by picking up this protrusion with your fingertips, you can very easily and safely take out the inner plate from the case body. There is an effect that it can be done. Moreover, this effect is achieved by a simple configuration, and its practical effects are very high.
