Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a synthetic resin bottle box for storing and transporting bottles. At the same time, move the connecting member inserted into the corner up and down,
This invention relates to a removably connectable synthetic resin bottle box made of multiple parts that can be removably connected to each other by facing each other.

(Prior art) Synthetic resin bottle boxes conventionally used for storing and transporting bottles for beer, soft drinks, etc. are designed to store up to 20 to 30 bottles. When a large number of bottles were stored in a container, it was heavy and inconvenient to carry.

Therefore, we created a bottle box that is smaller by dividing the conventional bottle box in half to make it easier to carry, and also allows the two boxes to be connected to each other for storage. West German Patent Publication Specification No.
Proposed in No. 3034650.

In addition, the applicant is also
No. 184816, No. 60-184838, etc., propose synthetic resin bottle boxes that are molded to one-half the size of conventional bottle boxes and have a structure that allows them to be connected to each other in a detachable manner.

The multi-component bottle box exemplified above has one side wall as an abutting surface, one of the pillars on both sides of this abutting surface is provided with a connecting hook, and the other pillar is a two-piece box with a hole inside. It has a heavy wall structure, and an insertion hole for the hook is provided on the abutting surface side. Then, the hook of another bottle box to be connected is inserted into this insertion hole, and is engaged and fixed by a connecting member installed in the double wall support.

That is, one tip of the handle engages with the upper part of the connecting member, and when the handle is positioned horizontally, the connecting member rises to the uppermost end to connect the two bottle boxes, Further, when the handle is rotated and positioned vertically, the handle is disengaged from the connecting member, and the connecting member is lowered to the lowest end and separated.

When connecting two bottle boxes with this type of configuration, hold the handles of the two bottle boxes hanging in both hands, butt the side walls of the two boxes together and face the respective hook insertion holes. The hook of the bottle box is inserted, and both handles are rotated outward to connect them.

(Problems with the Prior Art) The handles of the bottle boxes are all rotatably attached to the outside of the upper frame. The handle is formed of a plate-like member, and its wall thickness is limited by the size of the flange on the outer periphery of the bottle box, that is, the external dimensions of the bottle box. Therefore, the handle cannot necessarily be formed with sufficient thickness. In addition, in order to convert the rotational movement of the handle into vertical movement of the connecting member within the double-walled support, it is difficult to engage the two, and in order to rotate the handle outward, the abutting surfaces of the two bottle boxes are They did not fit closely together, and it was not possible to connect them quickly.

This idea was made in view of the above points,
To provide a bottle box made of synthetic resin in which the handle can be moved up and down in the same way as a connecting member in a double-walled support, and the grip part of the handle has a vertically elongated cross section and can be connected to each other in a detachable manner. It is something.

(Means for solving the problems) In order to achieve the above object, this invention has the following configuration.

That is, one side of a vertical side wall of a rectangular bottle box with an open top is formed into a rectangular shape in a plan view, and one side wall adjacent to the butt surface is provided with a plurality of protruding hooks, and the other side is provided with a plurality of hooks protruding from one support. The pillar has a double wall structure with a hollow inside, and a plurality of hook insertion holes are formed on the abutting surface side of the external wall to penetrate the hollow, and the hollow is engaged with the hook. When a vertically movable connecting member is attached and two bottle boxes of the same shape are butted against each other, insert the other hook into the hook insertion hole of one bottle box,
The bottle box is capable of detachably connecting two bottle boxes by engaging the hook with a connecting member, and includes a grip portion having a longitudinally elongated cross section, and a support portion in contact with the outer surface of the shorter side wall of the bottle box. A handle consisting of
By inserting a pin into a long hole drilled in the support part, the bottle box is attached to the approximate center of the short upper frame of the bottle box so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and the handle can be moved up and down via the intermediate part by the connecting member. It is characterized by being linked with.

Further, the intermediate part is a gear, and the connecting member and the handle are provided with lock-shaped teeth that mesh with the gear.

Further, the intermediate part is a connecting rod having a long hole for inserting a pin at both ends, and the connecting member and the handle are respectively rotatably supported by pins on the connecting rod.

(Example) Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail based on an illustrative example.

First, the overall structure of the bottle box according to this invention will be explained.

The lower parts of the four corner pillars 1, 2, 3, and 4 are connected by long side walls 5, 6 and short side walls 7, 8, and the upper ends are connected by longitudinal upper frames 10, 11 and short side upper frames 12, 13. Flanges are provided at the upper and lower parts of the side wall and at the lower part of the upper frame, respectively, and a window 14 is formed in the area surrounded by the support column, the side wall, and the upper frame.

Furthermore, the bottom part 15 is composed of a bottom frame 9 and a bottom rib 18, and the bottom frame 9 is provided to protrude inward from the lower ends of the pillars 1 to 4 and the side walls 5 to 8, and the bottom rib 18
are provided in the bottom frame 9 in a grid pattern. Inside, a compartment 17 is formed by a grid-like partition wall 16 to separate and store bottles. The bottle box shown in this embodiment is a bottle box containing a total of 10 bottles, two in the width direction and five in the length direction.

Next, the longitudinal upper frame 10 will be explained.

The upper surface of the longitudinal upper frame 10 is formed into a wave shape.

The depth of the upper surface of the longitudinal upper frame 10, that is, the short upper frame 1
Let x be the depth of the protrusion 10a from the top surface of 2, 13, y be the depth of the recess 10b, and z be the height of the protrusion of the bottom 15 protruding from the lower end of the side wall, then x<z ≦y, preferably x<(1/2
~3/4) z. Further, it is desirable that the slope 10c has a slope as gentle as possible.

Further, the wave-shaped recess 10b is formed in a size such that the bottom rib 9 fits on an extension line of the bottom rib 9 which is orthogonal to the longitudinal side walls 5, 6 in a plane. Therefore,
When two bottle boxes H are placed side by side and a bottle box twice the size is stacked, the bottom rib of the upper bottle box fits into the recess 10b. The convex portion 10a and the concave portion 10b are continuous by an inclined surface 10c.

In addition, the upper surface shape of the longitudinal upper frame 10 is a wave shape,
In order to facilitate pulling out during loading and unloading, the protrusion 10a is formed lower than the upper surfaces of the short upper frames 12 and 13 by x, but the upper surface of the protrusion 10a is on the same plane as the short upper frames 12 and 13, i.e. , x=O.
Further, the convex portion 10a and the concave portion 10b may be curved surfaces.

With this structure, bottle boxes H with the same shape
When stacking so-called sticks, the bottom frame 18 has a convex 1
0a allows for safe stacking.

In addition, two bottle boxes are connected with their longitudinal side walls 5 facing each other, and the same lattice-like bottom ribs are formed on the upper tier.
When bottle boxes of twice the size are stacked, the bottom rib of the upper bottle box will fit into the recess 10b. Therefore, unlike in the past, the bottom of the upper bottle box is not placed on the upper frame of the connected lower bottle box H, but is completely fitted into the upper opening of the lower bottle box, reducing the risk of slipping. Can be safely stacked without any damage.

Furthermore, the convex portion 10a and the concave portion 10 of the longitudinal upper frame 10
b are connected by the inclined surface 10c, so even when loading and unloading a bottle box twice the size, the upper bottle box can be pulled out smoothly without getting caught by simply lifting the bottom of the front side slightly. can.

Next, another structure of this bottle box H will be explained.

The corners of pillars 2 and 3 are said to be rounded,
The corners of the pillars 1 and 4 are formed at approximately right angles.
The side of the longitudinal side wall 5 which is the abutting surface of the column 1 is recessed by a dimension l than the abutting surface 20 of the longitudinal side wall 5, and has L-shaped hooks 21 and 22 in the plane.
and 23 are provided to protrude outward. Hook 2
The protruding dimensions of 1, 22, and 23 are 1 to 2 times, preferably approximately 2 times, the concave dimension l of the abutting surface of the strut 1.
Double that, 2l.

On the other hand, the support column 4 has a so-called double wall structure in which a substantially triangular space 32 is formed between the inner wall 30 and the outer wall 31, and the surface on the longitudinal side wall 5 side, which is the abutting surface of the outer wall 31, is the support column. 1 protrudes from the abutting surface 20 of the longitudinal side wall 5 by the recess dimension l of the abutting surface, and therefore, the external wall 31 and the hooks 21, 22, and 23 protruding from the support column 1 are on the same plane.

Furthermore, insertion holes 33, 34, and 35 into which the hooks 21, 22, and 23 can be inserted when connected are formed in the abutting surface of the external wall 35.

The upper surface of the cavity 32 is closed, but the lower surface is open so that a connecting member can be inserted, and the cavity 32 is closed.
A gear insertion hole for transmitting the vertical movement of the handle to the connecting member is formed in the lower part of the handle.

Next, the connecting member 50 that is inserted into the cavity 32 and connects the bottle boxes will be explained based on FIGS. 5 to 7.

The connecting member 50 is formed by cutting the lower part of the slide plate 52 to form a recess 53, and in this recess 53, a rack-shaped tooth 5 is provided to obtain a predetermined vertical stroke of the connecting member 50.
1 will be provided. Pawls 55, 56, and 57 are provided on the rear surface of the slide plate 52 to protrude at right angles.
Back plates 58 and 59 are arranged in succession in the same direction at the lower part of 56 to prevent rattling in the space 32.
Furthermore, a bottom plate 54 having substantially the same shape as the hollow 32 of the support column 4 is integrally provided at the lower part of the pawl 57.

Hooks 21, 22 and 23 are inserted into the hook insertion hole 3.
3, 34 and 35, and when the connecting member inserted into the cavity 32 is raised, the pawls 55, 56
and 57 are configured to engage with the hooks 21, 22 and 23.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the handle, in which the handle 40 has a support part 41 and a grip part 42 attached to the outside of the bottle box.
An elongated hole 44 is bored in the upper part of the support part 41 to regulate the movement up and down. On one side of the support part 41, a rack-shaped tooth 43 is configured to mesh with a gear that raises and lowers the connecting member 50 when the handle is attached.

Furthermore, as is clear from FIG. 1, the grip portion 42 has a vertically elongated cross section with a height larger than its width, and has wave-shaped side surfaces, and its thick portion is located above the partition wall 16 in a plane view. are doing. By forming it in this way, it has sufficient strength and can be filled into bottles without any trouble.

In the handle 40 configured as described above, the support portion 41 is inserted into the guide holes 24a, 25a, and 26a provided in the flanges 24, 25 of the upper frame and the flanges 26 of the short side walls 7, 8, respectively. The pins 27 protruding from the upper frames 12 and 13 are attached by being inserted into the elongated holes 44.

In this way, the handle 40 is installed on the upper part of the box, and the grip part 42 is placed on the short upper frames 12, 13, so that the handle 40 is installed on the upper part of the box.
It is preferable to form a recess 28 into which the grip 42 is inserted. The recess 28 is formed and the grip 42 is inserted into the recess 28 so that the upper surface of the grip 42 is closer to the bottom 15 than the upper surface of the upper frame.
If the height is lower than the height z, the bottle boxes can be stacked stably.

Reference numeral 60 denotes a gear provided between the handle 40 and the connecting member 50, which is rotatably supported by a pin 61 on the short side wall 8, and is connected to the rack teeth 43 of the handle 40 and the rack of the connecting member 50, respectively. shaped teeth 5
It meshes with 1. Therefore, when the handle 40 is raised, the connecting member 50 is lowered, and conversely, when the handle 40 is lowered, the connecting member 50 is raised. When the handle 40 is pulled up, the elongated hole 4
The bottom of 4 hits the pin 27 and prevents it from rising further, and the connecting member 50 is pulled down to the lower end to release the connected state.

Therefore, the bottle box can be carried by holding the handle 40 (see FIG. 9).

10 to 12 show other embodiments, in which the handle 40 and the connecting member 50 are
In this embodiment, a connecting rod 62 is used, as is clear from the figure, whereas a gear 60 is used as an intermediate part to connect the two.

Therefore, the numbers for each part will be repeated and the description thereof will be omitted for the sake of brevity. Only the changes made by replacing gears with connecting rods will be explained.

The connecting member 50 cuts the inner lower part of the slide plate 52 to form a recess 53a, and a pin 63 is protruded into the recess 53a.

On the other hand, the connecting rod 62 is rotatably supported by a pin 66 on the short side wall 8, and has elongated holes 64 and 6 at both ends.
5 is drilled. A pin 63 is inserted into the elongated hole 64, and the elongated hole 65 and the support portion 41 of the handle 40 are rotatably supported by the pin 67 and connected to each other. Each connecting portion of the connecting rod 62 has a long hole 6.
4 and 65, when the connecting rod 62 is horizontal, the pins 63 and 67 touch the inside of the elongated holes 64 and 65, respectively, and the handle 40 and the connecting member 50 can be smoothly moved without being pushed outward. Can go up and down.

Furthermore, by locating the pin 66 on the elongated hole 64 side, the stroke of the connecting member 50 can be made smaller than the stroke of the handle 40, and the connecting member 50 can be easily moved by the principle of leverage. It can be raised and lowered.

In this embodiment as well, the movements of the handle 40 and the connecting member 50 are reversed. Therefore, handle 4
0 is pulled up, the bottom of the long hole 44 touches the pin 2.
7 and restricts further rise, and at the same time, the connecting member 50 is pulled down to the lower end to release the connected state.

Next, the operation for connecting the bottle boxes having the above structure will be explained. First, when the grip portion 42 of the handle 40 is pulled up, the connecting member is lowered and the hook insertion holes 33, 34 and 35 are completely opened.

Next, the hooks 21, 22, and 23 are inserted into the opposing hook insertion holes 33, 34, and 35, respectively, and the handle 40 is lowered.
gradually rises and is pulled up to the uppermost end when the grip portion 42 of the handle 40 is fitted into the recess 28. At this time, pawls 55, 56, and 57 are hook 2.
1, 22, and 23, and the two bottles are completely connected.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, the synthetic resin bottle box of this invention can provide the following effects.

(1) Since the grip section of the handle, which is considered to be the weakest, can be made vertically long, it can be made to have a structure that is both strong and easy to hold.

(2) Connecting the bottle boxes is not only extremely simple and easy to do, as it is only necessary to raise and lower the handle, and even if one bottle box is in contact with a wall, etc., it can be done in that state. Can be done.

(3) Since the handle is attached to the inner side of the outer surface of the flange of the bottle box, there is no direct contact with other boxes or machines during the bottle filling process or transportation, and there is no risk of the handle being pulled up inadvertently and causing the connected state. There is no risk that it will be lifted.

(4) Since the handle and the connecting member are always connected by the intermediate part, the connecting member can be moved up and down reliably.

(5) Since the handle is attached to the outside of the flange of the bottle box, damage caused by collision with other objects can be prevented.
