One side edge is rotatably attached, and an auxiliary rod is removably hooked between the right side frame and the other side edge of the left side frame, and one side of the bottom frame is attached at a predetermined height below the rear side frame. Constructions in which the edges are rotatably attached are known. In the above-mentioned framed pallet, the left side frame can be rotated and folded into a horizontal L-shape when stored, so space can be saved when stored. When adopting the above-mentioned folding configuration, if a door is provided in the front, it will get in the way during the above-mentioned folding process, so it is necessary to leave it open.Auxiliary rods are removably hooked to the opening to allow the goods to be loaded onto pallets. Prevents items from falling during transportation. However, with the above configuration, although articles can be placed and moved, it is difficult to use the framed pallet to display the placed article storage boxes as they are for sale. In addition, various configurations have been proposed to restrict the openings in order to prevent the article storage boxes placed on the framed pallet from falling, but all of these simply prevent the items placed on the pallet from falling. Since the purpose is to prevent the use of framed pallets and not to use the framed pallets as display stands, it has been difficult for consumers to take out articles from the article storage boxes placed on the framed pallets. Furthermore, in the container for transporting small goods of Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-103955, a structure in which the front door is pivotally connected to the bottom frame is disclosed, but in order to restrain the front door while it is upright, it is necessary to Since it is connected to the provided two-part front door, it is not possible to directly take out items from the item storage container placed on the base plate or intermediate shelf, and it cannot be used as an item display stand. Can not.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problem, this invention fixes the proximal edge of the fixed side frame perpendicular to one side edge of the back frame, and hinges the proximal edge of the rotating side frame to the other side edge of the back frame. At the same time, the base edge of the base plate is pivoted to the back frame to form a pallet with a frame that can be folded into an L-shape lying horizontally on the plane. or providing a plurality of intermediate shelves, which are pivotably mounted on the base plate or at least one intermediate shelf at their lower ends facing the opening side thereof so as to be pivotable back and forth, and arranged upwardly in height; A stand with an opening regulating piece set low so as to leave a space for taking out items between the intermediate shelf and the opening regulating piece, the front end of which is pivotally attached to the side edge of the opening regulating piece, and the rear end of the opening regulating piece being pivotally attached to the side edge of the opening regulating piece. It is attached so that it can slide back and forth along the side piece of the plate or intermediate shelf, and the opening regulating piece can be moved between a folded position where it overlaps horizontally on the base plate or intermediate shelf and an upright position where it stands upright at the open end. The following technical measures are taken: a guiding stay is provided, and a locking means is provided to releasably restrain the rear end of the stay when the opening regulating piece is in the upright position.

[Effect]

With the above structure, the article storage container can be placed on the base plate or the intermediate shelf, and the framed pallet can be transported while regulating the opening surface with the opening regulating piece. Further, in order to use the framed pallet as a display stand, an article storage container having an opening on the top side is stored therein, and the lid of the container is opened. At this time, the opening regulating piece is held in an upright position by the locked stay, so there is no risk of the article storage container falling off the pallet, and the opening regulating piece is held in an upright position by the locked stay. Since a space for taking out articles is provided between the container and the container, the consumer can insert his/her hand through the space and take out the articles directly from the container without getting in the way. In addition, in the case of an article storage container having an opening such as a door at a position overlapping the opening regulating piece on the front opening side, the article storing container is placed on top of the opening regulating piece folded along the base plate or intermediate shelf. The product can then be removed by the consumer directly from the front opening of the container. When not in use, the opening regulating piece is folded over the base plate or intermediate shelf, and in this state, the base plate or intermediate shelf is folded up in parallel to the back frame side and stored, and then the rotating side frame is placed inside. When it is rotated and folded, it is folded into a substantially horizontal L-shape similar to the conventional structure, so that a plurality of framed pallets that also serve as display stands can be stacked in front and stored in multiple stages.

【Example】

A preferred embodiment of a framed pallet of this invention which also serves as a display stand will be described below with reference to the drawings. The framed pallet (hereinafter abbreviated as the framed pallet) 1 which also serves as a display stand is shown in Figures 1 to 3.
As shown in the figure, the proximal edge of the rectangular shelf-shaped fixed side frame 4 that is orthogonal to one side edge of the back frame 3 made of a rectangular shelf shape is fixed, and a rotating rectangular shelf shape is fixed to the other side edge of the back frame 3. The base edge of the side frame 5 is hinged P2 so that it can be folded and rotated, and the base plate (pallet) 2 has its base edge hinged P1 to the back frame 3 so that it can be folded upward. can. Further, in this embodiment, two intermediate shelves 8, 8 are foldably connected to the back frame 3 with a pivot P1 configuration similar to that of the base plate 2 above the base plate 2 at approximately equal intervals. In addition, the above-mentioned back frame 3, fixed side frame 4 and rotating side frame 5
Each has a caster 9 at its lower end, and has a known construction that allows the base plate 2 to be held in a hollow position where it can be supported by a fork and to be slidable. A fence 6 serving as an opening regulating piece is pivotally attached to the open end portions of the base plate 2 and intermediate shelves 8, 8 of such a pallet with frame 1. In this embodiment, the fence 6 has its upper end set to approximately half the length of the distance between the base plate 2 and the intermediate shelf 8, and the upper end has a shape that can be used as a space S for taking out articles. It's summery. This fence 6 is provided with a folding device 7, as can be seen more clearly in FIGS. 5 and 6. The folding device 7 includes a stay 70 with one end pivotally attached 70a to the middle part of the side edge of the fence 6, and a groove 7 at the front end of the rising wall of the side edge of the base plate 2 or the intermediate shelf 8.

In the case of this storage box 10, by opening the upper lid 10a, the consumer can take out the items stored inside even when the fence 6 is upright, in the space formed above for taking out the items. It can be taken out via S. In addition, for items that require refrigeration, a cold storage box 11 using a heat insulating material as clearly shown in Figures 7 to 9
may be used as an article storage container. In order to place this cold storage 11 on the framed pallet 1 and use it for display, if the opening position of the cold storage 11 for taking out products is provided corresponding to the space S above the fence 6, the fence 6 can be closed. Although it can be used unfolded, if the opening position is set to overlap the fence 6, the fence 6 may be folded and the cold storage box 11 placed thereon (see FIG. 1). The cold storage 11 is provided with an upper opening/closing lid 12 on the upper side, and a front opening/closing door 13 is formed on the front side. The upper opening/closing lid 12 is provided with joint pieces 12a on three sides, and a removable adhesive tape T is attached to the inner surface thereof and a position corresponding to the main body, and the upper edge of the refrigerator main body is opened and closed with a fastener F. . In addition, the front opening/closing door 13 has three peripheries on its inner surface,

In addition, H in the figure is a handle fixed on both sides of the refrigerator body. Since it has the above configuration, the upper opening/closing lid 12
It can be opened to take in and take out the stored articles, and the front opening/closing door 13 can be opened to allow the consumer to take out the stored articles individually while sorting them. These article storage containers can be removed from the framed pallet 1 after use. The article storage container used in the framed pallet 1 of this invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and containers of various other shapes and configurations can be used. When this pallet with a frame is not used as a display stand, it can of course be used for carrying various articles on it in the same manner as in the conventional structure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a fence 6 is provided on each stage of a pallet with a frame, and an article storage container is placed thereon. Any configuration in which a storage container is provided and the article storage container is placed therein falls within the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, when storing the framed pallet 1 by folding it, as shown in FIG. Fold it upwards until it faces toward you, and hang it on the back frame 3 with a hook (not shown). Further, this embodiment has an intermediate shelf 8 having the same structure as the base plate 2 and parallel to the base plate 2, and this intermediate shelf 8 can also be folded together with the pallet 6 and hung on the back frame 3 in the same manner as the base plate 2. It can be stopped. Next, as shown by the dashed line, the rotating side frame 5 is rotated inward and folded, and the framed pallet 1 is folded into an L-shape lying on its side, and the folding is completed.

[Effect of the idea]

Since this invention has the above-mentioned structure, the pallet with a frame can be folded into an L-shape lying on its side, but an opening regulating piece is provided at the front opening portion and an article storage container is placed on the display stand. It can be used as Since the height of the opening regulating piece is regulated,
A space for taking out items is opened between the base plate or intermediate shelf and the intermediate shelf adjacent above it,
Moreover, since it is locked in an upright position via the stay, even if the article storage container moves when taking out the article, it can be restrained and prevented from falling off. Furthermore, when the opening of the article storage container is formed on the front side that overlaps with the opening restriction piece, the article storage container may be placed on top of the opening restriction piece folded. Thereby, the article storage container can be placed on the framed pallet, transported from the warehouse, and loaded onto a transport vehicle such as a truck. After the vehicle is moved to the sales location, the framed pallet is loaded into the container of the truck, and the framed pallet is used as a display stand without moving, allowing the consumer to take out the goods. . In particular, since consumers can take out items directly from the opening side, even in narrow spaces such as inside the vehicle of a truck, only the aisle space for the consumer is required, and no other extra space is required. The framed pallet of the present invention, which also serves as a display stand, can be used to function as a display stand. Furthermore, when not in use, it can be folded horizontally into an L shape and stacked on top of each other, saving storage space.
