Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement of a holding device for various forms in a storage tray for various small parts.

(Prior Art) Trays made of various materials such as metal or plastic are generally used to produce screws, springs, and many other small parts, or to store them for use or storage.
Various documents are attached, including an item tag showing quality, grade, dimensions, quantity, date of manufacture, etc., or an invoice showing delivery address, storage location, unit price, expiration date, etc. However, not only within the factory but also during transportation, slips tend to fly off, or when multiple trays are handled at the same time, it is easy for slips to be mixed up.
Conventionally, slips were held in place by using commercially available clips on the flanges of trays, etc.
Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 4, a synthetic resin slip clamping tool 3 is attached to the side surface of the tray 1, and the engaging protrusion 4 at the upper end thereof is engaged with the mounting hole 2 of the flange 1a to secure it. and used it.

This slip-holding tool 3 has a fixed piece 5 that extends downward in a tongue-like manner starting from an intermediate support portion 5a, and a support leg 6a that is more elastic than the bottom of the slip-holding tool 3 and extends upward. It has an elastic crimp piece 6 whose upper end overlaps the upper surface of the fixed piece 5, and a slip or the like can be inserted between the fixed piece 5 and the elastic crimp piece 6 as shown by the chain line in the figure. It is designed to be held in place.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when securing slips with commercially available clips, there is no integrity between the tray and the clip, so it is necessary to transport a large number of empty trays and then add new ones. If the clips are poorly stored during use, they are easily lost, and it is therefore uneconomical to always prepare a large number of new clips. When the clamping tool 3 is attached to the tray, there is no risk of losing the slip clamping tool itself, but when holding the slips, pull the elastic crimp piece 6 toward you with one hand to tighten the fixing piece. 5, and after holding the slip in the gap with the other hand, it is necessary to use both hands to release the elastic crimp piece 6 and hold it crimped. It is inefficient to carry out work while holding documents and tools in one hand.Furthermore, the above-mentioned document clamping device 3 not only has a relatively complicated structure and high cost, but also has an elastic crimp piece 6. The durability of the support leg 6a which maintains the elastic force of the support leg 6a is poor, and there are problems in that it not only cannot withstand severe use, but also tends to gradually lose its elastic force.

The present invention makes it possible to use the mounting hole 2 of the above-mentioned conventional slip clamping device 3 as is, and also allows the legs at both ends of a band-shaped spring plate to be curved to one side with respect to the pair of mounting holes 2. To provide a low-cost and durable slip holding device which can securely fasten slips with one hand by a simple structure of fastening the slips.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the slip holding device of the present invention includes a pair of fastening holes drilled at appropriate locations on the tray at a constant interval; It consists of a band-shaped spring plate with a length approximately equal to the distance between the pair of fixing holes, and the band-shaped spring plate is curved so that its central portion bulges to one side, and both longitudinal ends thereof are curved to bulge out to one side. A leg is formed by bending the leg at a substantially right angle to the side, and a locking portion is formed by bending the tip of the leg at a right angle in substantially the same direction as the length direction of the band-shaped spring plate. Both legs of the plate are inserted through a pair of locking holes in the tray, and the locking portions are connected to the back side of the locking holes in the tray.

For reasons described later, it is effective to form an intermediate stepped portion that can be engaged with the attachment hole of the tray in the middle of both legs formed by bending both ends of the band-shaped spring plate in a substantially right-angled direction.

It is more effective if the intermediate step portions and/or the locking portions at the tips of both legs are formed outward from both ends of the band-shaped spring plate.

(Function) As shown in Fig. 3A, the strip spring plate is usually inserted into a pair of locking holes drilled at a certain interval in the flange of the tray, etc., and the intermediate step is inserted into the back side of the locking hole. It is held attached to the side.

One of the locking portions protruding toward the back side of the locking hole is pressed against the other locking portion to release the intermediate step portion from the locking hole, and the leg piece is pushed upward. Similarly, release the lock on the other intermediate step and push the leg upward to create a sufficient gap between the tray flange, etc. and the band-shaped spring plate, and insert documents such as item tags into the gap. (See Figure 3B).

Next, when both ends of the band-shaped spring plate are pressed from above, both the left and right legs are inserted into the locking hole, and the intermediate step is locked to the back side of the locking hole, and the slips are held by the band-shaped spring plate. The tray is held in pressure contact with the upper surface of the flange, etc. of the tray (see FIG. 3C).

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 11 represents a tray, and 13 represents a band-shaped spring plate.

The tray 11 is made of various materials such as metal, synthetic resin, wood board, etc., and is configured in the shape of a bottomed dish or box, and has a flange 11a, which is one side of the opening edge, at a certain interval. A pair of fastening holes 1
2 and 12 are perforated.

As shown in FIG. 2, the band-shaped spring plate 13 has a relatively flat and elastic band shape made of metal or hard plastic material, and is curved so that the center portion bulges toward one side. , both ends in the length direction are bent at a substantially right angle to the bulging side to form legs.

This leg piece is composed of a first leg piece 14 and a second leg piece 16 with an intermediate step part 15 in the middle, and the tip (lower end) of the second leg piece 16 is provided with a hook bent in a right-angled horizontal direction. It has a stop part 17.

Since the band-shaped spring plate 13 is curved so that its center portion protrudes to one side, when the band-shaped spring plate 13 is in a free state, the legs at both ends are in a slightly open state with respect to each other. Therefore, the intermediate step portions 15 and/or the locking portions 17 of both legs are approximately directed in the opposite direction (outside) with respect to the intermediate step portions 15 and/or the locking portions 17 of the opposite foot pieces. If it is provided so as to protrude in the horizontal direction, the engagement with the locking hole 12 will be even better.

In the above embodiment, intermediate step portions were formed on each of the left and right legs, but the invention is not necessarily limited to this, and the intermediate step portions are not necessary, and the legs are effectively shortened. The locking portion 17 may be provided at a position corresponding to the intermediate step portion. Further, the tip of the above-mentioned locking portion 17 is curled inward to form a curled portion 17a to prevent handling hazards, but instead of forming the curled portion 17a, the tip is made of urethane. It may be coated or the edge of the tip may be folded back to give it a rounded appearance.

The above-mentioned band-shaped spring plate 13 has its left and right legs attached to the engagement hole 12 of the flange 11a in the tray 11,
12, and under normal conditions, the intermediate step portions 15, 15 are locked to the back side of the locking holes 12, 12 as shown in Fig. 3A, and when in use, they are locked from the back side of the flange 11a. The intermediate step portion 15 is released by pressing the portion 17 in the direction of the locking portion 17 on the other side, and the flange 11 is released.
Wide the gap between a and the band-shaped spring plate 13, insert the slips P (see Fig. 3B), and remove the band-shaped spring plate 1.
3, the intermediate step portions 15, 15 are reengaged with the retaining holes 12, 12, and the slips are attached to the flange 1 by the spring force of the curved portion of the band-shaped spring plate 13.
1a to hold the slips P.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects as expected below.

That is, the slip holding device of the present invention has a pair of locking holes drilled at appropriate locations on the tray at a constant interval, and a band-shaped spring plate having a length approximately equal to the distance between the pair of locking holes. The band-shaped spring plate is curved so that the center part bulges to one side, and both ends in the length direction are bent at approximately right angles to the bulge side to form legs, and the tips of the legs are bent. is bent at right angles in substantially the same direction as the length direction of the band-shaped spring plate to form a locking part, and both legs of the band-shaped spring plate are inserted into the pair of locking holes of the tray, Because the locking part is locked to the back side of the tray's locking hole, it can be operated with one hand when holding slips, and many slips and tools can be held with one hand. Work can be carried out efficiently while holding the device, and when installing it, the conventional fastening holes can be used as is, it is durable, has a simple structure, and can significantly reduce costs.

In addition, if an intermediate step part is formed between each of the legs that can be engaged with the engagement hole of the tray, the legs of the band-shaped spring plate can be engaged by simply pressing the engagement part inward from the back side of the flange. Operability is improved because the attachment to the hole can be released.

Furthermore, in the case where the intermediate step portion and/or the locking portion at the tip of both legs are formed to face outward from both ends of the band-shaped spring plate, the band-shaped spring plate is curved so that the center portion protrudes to one side. Therefore, when the band-shaped spring plate is in a free state, the legs at both ends are in a slightly open state with respect to each other, and therefore, the intermediate step of both legs and/or the engagement part of the engagement part with the engagement hole. becomes more certain.
