Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a portable container in which a container body containing articles can be pulled out and put into a casing in a drawer manner.

Prior Art and its Problems Containers that fit into a casing with an opening on one side and that can be pulled out and taken out have been known for a long time; for example, Utility Model No. 13765 registered on July 1, 1909. As disclosed in the publication, there is a device that includes means for holding the container body in a casing while being fitted into the casing, and a spring means for pushing the container body toward the opening. In this device, the container body is provided with a claw that engages with the casing by a spring force, and when the claw is pushed down to release the engagement with the casing, the spring means pushes the container body toward the opening. but,
A restoring force that constantly engages the casing acts on the claw, and when the container body starts moving in the extrusion direction, it comes into pressure contact with the inner surface of the casing and acts as a brake. For this reason, the container body cannot be pulled out to a large extent, and if the spring force of the spring means is increased to counteract the braking force, a large force is required to push it in, which is difficult to handle.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a means for fitting and holding the container body into the casing and a means for pulling it out from the casing inside the casing, and also releases the mutual engagement with a single operation. To provide a portable container that can be taken out and put in very easily with a small force that allows the container body to be pulled out.

The present invention provides a pull-out portable container consisting of a casing having an opening on one side and a container body that is inserted into and taken out from the casing through the opening, and a push button having an engaging portion projecting forward and elastic arms projecting left and right. is installed movably up and down at the end opposite to the opening with the tip of the elastic arm fixed to the casing, and the push button is inserted into a window hole provided in the upper surface of the casing at the end opposite to the opening. is exposed, an engaging portion that engages with the engaging portion is provided to protrude rearward of the container body, and an elastic member that pushes the container body toward the opening is provided on the container body of the casing. This is a means for solving the above-mentioned problem by configuring the device to be built in at the rear of the device.

That is, according to this configuration, when the push button is pressed down, the engagement between the push button and the container body is released and the container body is pushed out by the elastic member, and when the push button is released, it is restored by the elastic force of the elastic arm. The push button only engages and separates from the container body, the container body is pushed out only by the elastic force of the elastic member, and the elastic arm does not interfere with the pushing operation.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.The main body 5 consists of a bottom plate 2, left and right side plates 3, 3, and a rear plate 4.
A casing 1 has an opening 7 on the front surface, and a flat lid plate 6 is integrally joined by adhesive or welding, and a storage section 14 with an open top surface is fitted almost tightly into the casing 1 from the opening 7. Container body 13 to be inserted
The side plates 3, 3 of the casing 1
The container body 13 is inserted into the guide groove 8 extending in the front-rear direction provided in the
By fitting the protrusions 16 protruding from the rear ends of the side walls 15, 15, the container body 13 is pulled out from the casing 1 until the storage portion 14 is almost completely exposed.

At the end of the bottom plate 2 opposite to the opening 7, a pair of two pedestals 9 and 10 arranged at right angles are provided side by side. A protruding presser foot 11 is provided at the center, and a window hole 12 is provided at the center.

The push button 20 is exposed through the window hole 12 and built into the casing 1, and has plate-shaped elastic arms 21 that protrude from the left and right sides of the push button 20.
The tip of the push button 20 is sandwiched and fixed between the first pedestal 9 and the presser foot 11, and a hook-shaped engaging portion 22 protruding from the front of the push button 20 is a hook protruding from the rear wall 17 of the container body 13. By mutually engaging with the shaped engaging portion 18, the container body 13 is held in a state where it is completely fitted into the casing 1. In addition, an elastic member 23 made of a leaf spring is provided in a groove 19 opened on the lower surface of the rear wall 17.
The center portion of the second pedestal 10 is fitted, and the tip of the spring portion 24 extending diagonally rearward is in contact with the front surface of the second pedestal 10.

In this embodiment configured in this way, the engaging portion 18,
22 are engaged with each other and the container body 13 is completely fitted into the casing 1, the spring portion 24 of the elastic member 23 is in pressure contact with the pedestal 10, expanded and stored energy (the first Figures 1 and 2). Press button 2 here
When 0 is pressed down with a fingertip, the engagement between the engaging parts 18 and 22 is released, and the elastic force of the elastic member 23 returning to its original shape pushes the container body 13 and causes its front end to protrude from the opening 7. (Figures 3 and 4). Therefore, by holding the front end of the container body 13 and pulling it, the protrusion 16 hits the front end of the guide groove 8 and the storage portion 14
The container body 13 can be pulled out until it is almost completely exposed. Further, when the push button 20 is released, the elastic arm 21 moves upward and returns to the same level as the surface of the casing 1.

When the container body 13 is pushed into the casing 1 after use, the engaging portions 18 and 22 engage with each other, resulting in the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Of course, the elastic member 23 may be attached to the casing 1, and the guide groove 8 and the protrusion 16 may be omitted so that the container body 13 can be completely pulled out and removed from the casing 1.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, a push button for holding and releasing the container body and an elastic member that pushes the container body out of the opening of the casing are built into the casing, and the engaging portion between the container body and the push button is located inside the casing. By arranging the push button so that it does not protrude from the casing surface, there is an inconvenience that when carrying the container, it may get caught on other items or the push button may be pressed and the container body may be inadvertently pulled out. This not only completely eliminates the problem, but also makes it possible to make the push button larger and make it easier to operate. In addition, when the engagement part is disengaged, only the elastic force of the elastic member acts on the container body, so even if the elastic force is reduced, it will not only be pushed out of the opening reliably, but also pushed in with a small force and engaged with the push button. This makes it extremely convenient to use, since the container body and casing can be disengaged and the container body can be pulled out in a single operation.
