Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a handheld ball box used by players at pachinko parlors to store, organize, and move pachinko balls.

(Conventional technology) Pachinko parlors are equipped with a handheld ball box that can hold an appropriate amount of pachinko balls, and can be used to receive balls purchased from a ball dispenser, organize prize balls accumulated in the pachinko machine's ball tray, and It is used to carry prizes to settle the balance at the end of the game.

These boxes are usually stacked when not in use, with the upper box inserted into the lower box.In order to make it easier to remove the upper box from the lower box from this stacked state, the lower box On the other hand, it has been proposed that a locking step is provided on the upper side wall of the box so that the upper box is slightly floating.

Most of the practical ball boxes of this kind are made of plastic, and at least the left and right side walls are flat, and there are some that have a printed surface on which the store name and other various types of printing are printed. many.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, in the conventional ball box with flat left and right side walls and various printings, empty boxes are stacked on top of each other, and each time the empty boxes are inserted or removed, the upper box is removed. This has the drawback that the printed surface rubs against the opening edge of the lower box, causing damage to the printed surface over time and causing the printing to fade, which not only reduces the display effect but also deteriorates the appearance of the box. .

This idea was developed in consideration of the above points, and when empty boxes are stacked together and inserted or removed, the printed surface formed on the outer surface of the side wall does not rub against the opening edge of the lower box, and the printing remains beautiful forever. The purpose is to provide a ball box whose surface is maintained.

(Means for Solving the Problem) This invention for solving the above purpose is that the side wall slopes upward from the bottom surface to form an opening, and the upper part of the side wall is opened at the opposite position. In a handheld ball box that is provided with a locking step so that when the boxes are stacked together, the upper box is in a floating state relative to the lower boxes, the locking step is formed on the outer surface of the side wall of the upper box when the boxes are stacked together. The gist is that a slight gap is formed between the printed surface and the corresponding opening edge of the lower box.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a box body, and a side wall 3 rises from a bottom plate 2 at an angle outward, forming an opening 4, and an opening edge 5 extending outward is provided at the upper end of the side wall. .

The outer surfaces of the left and right side walls are made flat to form a printed surface 6, on which store names and other appropriate printing 7 are applied.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a locking stage provided downward on the top of the side wall on the opposite front and rear short sides of the side wall 3. When the boxes are stacked together, the locking stage 8 of the upper box locks against the opening edge 5 of the lower box. This makes the upper box slightly floating.

In this invention, when the boxes are stacked one on top of the other, a gap 9 is formed between the printed surface 6 of the upper box and the inner surface of the side wall 3b of the corresponding lower box.

However, this gap 9 is printed on the outer surface of the side wall so that when inserting or removing the upper box in a stacked state, the inner corner 5a of the straight opening edge of the lower box does not hit the printed surface 6 of the upper box. The surface 6 is slightly recessed inward from the side portions 3a thereof, and the corresponding inner surface 3b of the side wall of the lower box is also slightly recessed.

(Function/Effect) As mentioned above, this device forms a gap to prevent the inner corner of the opening edge of the lower box and the printed surface of the upper box from rubbing against each other when inserting and removing boxes when stacking them. Therefore, when the boxes are inserted and removed, the printed surface formed on the outer surface of the side wall of the upper box will not be damaged by hitting the inner corner of the opening edge of the lower box, and the printed surface will remain beautiful forever. This has the effect of making it possible to provide a ball box that can be used for a long period of time without changing its function and without damaging the appearance of the ball box.
