Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] Industrial Field of Use The present invention relates to a storage with an opening on the top surface, and a storage with a sideward protrusion formed on the top to be used for an event. This article relates to a storage room that protects the sides of the storage room.

Conventional technology An example of a storage unit in which the storage body is constructed by filling the space between the inner and outer boxes with the upper surface open is the Utility Model Publication No. 60-255.
There is a No. 2 publication. This publication presents a showcase having an outer box having a bottom and side surfaces, and a machine room attached to the bottom of the outer box. A storage (showcase) is disclosed in which a protrusion that bulges downward along the entire circumference is continuously formed. Not only was this protrusion used as a handle when transporting the showcase, but it was also very effective in preventing the liquid that flowed along the sides of the outer box from reaching the inside of the machine box. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the protrusion in the showcase mentioned above,
It is formed along the outer periphery of the bottom that intersects with the side of the outer box, and since these showcases are usually used for special events, the height to the top opening is about the same as for a person of average height. Considering that the height is from about the tip of the hand to about the waist when standing with hands down, when moving or transporting the showcase by the protruding parts, you must bend down and lift it from a low position. Not necessarily,
It was noticeable that it was difficult to carry due to the strain caused by the awkward posture.

If the thickness of the showcase is set so that this protruding part is just about waist height, the height of the machine box will have to be increased, which will not only make the showcase larger but also cause the center of gravity to shift. There was concern that the height would increase and the stability of showcase installation would deteriorate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention aims to facilitate transportation of an open-top storage storage used mainly for special events, and to provide a storage storage with wall stops on each side.

[Structure of the invention]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a heat insulating wall composed of both inner and outer boxes made of resin, each having side and bottom surfaces and opening at the top, and a foamed heat insulating material filled between the two boxes. The present invention provides an open-top storage, in which a heat insulating wall has a protrusion filled with a heat insulating material that protrudes laterally at the upper part thereof and is formed around the entire circumference.

Function: The protrusion (filled with insulating material) that protrudes laterally around the entire upper part of the insulating wall not only functions as a handle for moving and transporting, but also as a spacer for storage and as an accessory. Functions as a mounting part suitable for attaching products. Since the protrusions are provided at the upper ends of both the inner and outer boxes, that is, at the top openings, the protrusions are located at the position of a person's hands when they are standing with their hands down, making it easy to put their hands on them.
