Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a dressing basket, and particularly to a dressing basket having legs and handles.

(Conventional technology and its problems) Conventional dressing baskets simply consist of a storage basket, and are difficult to use because they require a stand or the like to raise the basket to an appropriate height from the floor. ,
In addition, when carrying the basket, it is necessary to hold both sides of the basket with both hands, making it very difficult to carry.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the problems of the conventional art, the present invention has a support shaft that is wider than the storage basket, has a substantially U-shape, and is bent inward at both free ends. A pair of legs and handles are provided on both sides of the bottom of the storage basket, and a pair of mounting members each having a long hole through which the support shaft passes through is provided on both sides of the bottom of the storage basket, and the long hole is provided on the bottom of the storage basket. In contrast, it is formed to extend in the far and near directions. Then, a deformed part having a parallel surface is formed in a part of the support shaft part, and a lower end opening is fitted into which the deformed part is just fitted while the support shaft part is located at one end on the bottom side of the elongated hole. A matching groove is provided in the mounting member.

(Function) According to this configuration, the leg/handle is rotated below the bottom surface of the storage basket, and the rotating position of the leg/handle is adjusted so that the irregularly shaped part of the support shaft faces the fitting groove of the mounting member. If you place this undressing basket on the floor with the irregularly shaped part fitted into the fitting groove by pushing it up a little,
The leg/handle is prevented from rotating by fitting into the fitting groove of the irregularly shaped portion, and functions as a firm leg.
In addition, when carrying this undressing basket, lift the storage basket slightly and lower the legs and handles, and then release the engagement between the irregularly shaped part and the fitting groove and rotate the rear legs and handles upward to use them as handles. Can be used. Even in this case, if the irregularly shaped part is fitted into the fitting groove, the handle can be fixed so that it does not move, making it easy to carry. Furthermore, since the legs and handles are attached to the bottom of the storage basket, even if the legs are sufficiently high, the handles will not be too long, making it difficult to carry.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage basket for storing clothes and the like made of metal wire or synthetic resin moldings, and a pair of attachment members 2 are provided on both sides of the bottom surface 1a, respectively, by welding or integral molding. These mounting members 2 are provided with an outer plate 2a and an inner plate 2b extending downward, and the outer plate 2a is arranged so as to be flush with or near the front and rear edges of the bottom surface 1a of the storage basket, and the outer plate An inner plate 2b is arranged inside 2a at an appropriate interval. Moreover, this inner plate 2b has a length of about half that of the outer plate 2a. 3 is
It is a leg/handle that is approximately U-shaped and has a support shaft 4 bent inward at both free ends, and its width is slightly wider than the front-to-back width of the storage basket 1. The outer plate 2a of the mounting member 2 is provided with a long hole 5 through which the support shaft 4 passes. 5
is in the shape of a letter C. Further, near the end of the support shaft portion 4, a deformed portion 6 having a pair of parallel surfaces parallel to the axis of the leg/handle 3 is formed by crushing a part of the support shaft portion 4. ing. This irregularly shaped part 6
The position corresponds to the inner plate 2b of the mounting member 2, and the inner plate 2b is formed with a fitting groove 7 having an opening at the lower end into which the irregularly shaped portion 6 is fitted and engaged. This fitting groove 7 is parallel to the elongated hole 5 and has the same slope. Then, with the support shaft 4 passing through the elongated hole 5 and the leg/handle 3 attached to the mounting member 2, the support shaft 4 is
When is located at the end of the long hole 5 on the bottom side of the storage basket, the irregularly shaped part 6 fits into and engages with the fitting groove 7, and when it is located at the opposite end, the irregularly shaped part 6 and the engaging groove 7 are engaged. It is released so that the leg/handle 3 can freely rotate.

According to this embodiment, when the leg/handle 3 is used as a leg, the leg is fixed in an open V-shape as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, so the storage basket 1 is stably supported. and when used as a handle,
When the leg/handle 3 is rotated 180 degrees as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Since the upper ends of the devices touch or are close to each other, it is easy to carry the device with one hand.

In the above embodiment, the elongated holes 5 and the fitting grooves 7 on both the left and right sides are formed in a V-shape so that the legs have a V-shape, but the height of the storage basket 1 may be lowered. In this case, the legs may be formed into an X-shape, and in that case, a long hole 15 and a fitting groove 17 which are directed downward and inclined inward may be formed as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. Furthermore, by providing both the elongated holes 5, 15 and the fitting grooves 7, 17, the legs can be made into a V-shape or an X-shape, and when used as a handle, the upper ends can be in contact or close together. The handle can be prevented from rotating.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the undressing basket of the invention has a pair of legs and handles that are approximately U-shaped and have inwardly bent support shafts at both free ends. A pair of mounting members each having a long hole through which the spindle passes through is provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the storage basket, and an irregularly shaped portion formed on a part of the spindle can fit into and engage with the mounting member. A fitting groove with an opening at the lower end is provided, and the irregularly shaped portion is configured to fit into the fitting groove when the support shaft portion is located at one end of the elongated hole on the bottom side of the storage basket.
By rotating the leg/handle downward and fitting and fixing the irregularly shaped part into the fitting groove, a sturdy leg can be formed, and the storage basket can be positioned at an appropriate height without using a stand or the like. Furthermore, by rotating the legs and handles upward, it is possible to easily carry the undressing basket as a undressing basket with a handle, and it is possible to obtain a very user-friendly undressing basket.
