Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a handheld ball box used by players at pachinko parlors to store, organize, and move pachinko balls.

Pachinko parlors are equipped with a handheld ball box that can hold an appropriate amount of pachinko balls, and can be used to receive the balls purchased from the ball dispenser, organize the prize balls accumulated in the pachinko machine's ball tray, and award the prize at the end of the game. Used for carrying balls to checkout, etc.

By the way, this type of handheld ball box is usually made of plastic, and when not in use, the boxes are stacked one on top of the other, with the upper box inserted into the lower box, and when in use, they are removed from the upper box in order. be.

In order to make it easier to remove the upper box from the lower box, a ball box has been proposed in which a locking step is provided at an appropriate position on the box body so that the upper box is slightly floating relative to the lower box. .

This type of ball box is a large ball box that stores a relatively large amount of balls and is carried using both hands.There is a grip section on two opposing side walls of the box body that extends outward and allows four fingers to be hung from below. It is provided.

When the ball boxes with the above configuration are stacked one on top of the other when not in use, the upper boxes float above the lower boxes due to the locking step, creating gaps between the boxes and the upper boxes. This is convenient because air can freely flow in and out through the gaps during extraction, and the lower box does not get stuck, but conventional ball boxes generally have a rectangular shape when viewed from above due to the shape of the box body. When a large number of ball boxes are stacked on top of each other, the handles also overlap, making it difficult to hold the handles to take out the upper box when in use.

This idea was developed in consideration of the above points, and there is no directionality in inserting the upper box into the lower box, making it easy to remove from a state where many ball boxes are stacked high and easy to handle. This is an attempt to provide a convenient treasure box.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates a box, which has a square shape when viewed from above, and includes a bottom plate 2, a side wall 4 that slopes outward from the bottom plate 2 toward the top opening 3, and a horizontal wall that extends from the top of the side wall 4. It consists of an opening edge 5 provided in an overhanging manner.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a handle body provided on the outer surface of the central part of the two opposing side walls 4, the upper end of which is joined to the opening edge 5, the whole is inclined outwardly and downwardly, and the handle body is rounded from the lower part to the side part. The gripping surface 7 has an uneven shape.
A plurality of standing ribs 8 forming locking steps are provided between the upper half of the handle body and the side wall, and a fingertip insertion gap 9 is formed between the lower half of the handle body and the side wall.

10 is an uneven finger contact surface formed on the opening edge surface corresponding to the handle body 6; 11 is the lower edge of the side wall of the box body 1;
This is so that when an upper box is inserted into a lower box of empty boxes and stacked, it comes into contact with the inner wall of the lower box in the gap 12 formed between the upper and lower boxes, and the lower part of the outer surface of the side wall faces outward. It becomes curved.

As mentioned above, in this invention, since the box body is formed into a square shape when viewed from above, there is no directionality when stacking empty boxes, and therefore, when stacking boxes together, it is difficult to use the handles. If they are stacked in such a way that the positions of the upper boxes are alternately shifted, when the upper box is removed, the fingertips can be sufficiently hooked on the handle body to make it easier to take out the upper box. The edge contacts the inner wall of the lower box to naturally match the centers of the boxes, improving upright stability and eliminating wobbling.There is no surface contact between the side walls, and when removing the upper box, the upper box is slightly Just by lifting the box, there is a gap between the boxes, allowing air to freely flow in and out, making it easier to handle as the lower box won't get stuck when the upper box is removed.Furthermore, the handle body is located on the outside of the side wall, making it easier to handle as a whole. The box is slanted outward and downward, and its lower part protrudes farthest to the bottom of the box, making it easy to hold. It has the effect of presenting an extremely user-friendly ball box, such as being able to make the work more efficient by pushing forward in addition to twisting the wrist at the end of the inversion of the body.
