Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container in which the width of the opening surface can be adjusted so that the container can be stored in a nest and can be stacked, and is used in the field of manufacturing containers. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional container, a rectangular parallelepiped container or a cubic container is generally known.

[0003] In addition, as an assembleable one, the actual public sho53
No. 28095 is known.

[0004]

In the case of a conventional rectangular parallelepiped container or the like, a space of about two-thirds is required when transporting an empty body, as compared with a case where a storage item is loaded and transported. , The efficiency of transporting empty containers was poor. Further, in order to save space during transportation by air, the assembly type container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-28095 is desirable. This work was complicated because all the containers had to be disassembled.

[0005]

In order to solve the problems associated with such conventional containers, the present invention employs the following means. That is, the opening end surface of the container body having the opening end at the upper portion is formed to be larger than the outer lower surface of the container body, and the opening end portion is provided with an adjusting member rotatable inward of the container body. After the inward rotation, the opening end face was formed smaller than the outer bottom face of the container body to form a container.

[0006]

With the above construction, when the adjusting member is rotated inward of the container body, the opening end face of the container body becomes smaller than the outer bottom face, and the outer bottom face of another container can be placed on the adjusting member. Becomes

On the other hand, when the adjusting member is rotated outward of the container body, the opening end face of the container body becomes larger than the outer bottom face, so that another container can be accommodated in a nesting shape.
The powder will form within the volume of the container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container. The container 1 is composed of a container body 2 and an adjusting member 5, and the container 1 is in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid. The upper open end 3a of the container body 2 is formed in a brim shape, and among the open ends 3a facing each other, the left and right open ends 3a in the figure.
Steps D1 and D2 are formed inside a (see FIG. 2,
(See FIG. 3). An adjusting member 5.5 is provided at each of the open ends 3a. The adjusting member 5 is a shaft 5a
2 and a rotating body 5b which can rotate 270 in the direction of arrow P in FIG. 2 about the shaft 5a. When the rotating body 5b rotates in the direction of arrow P, the contact portion T2 contacts the step portion D2. The contact portion T1 is formed so as to contact the step portion D1 when it rotates in the opposite direction. Then, when the rotating body 5b is not rotating and is in the state of FIG. 2, the opening end face 3 of the container body 2 has the opening end 3a of the rotating body 5b,
3a and the open ends 3a and 3a of the container body 2, the open end surface 3 is formed to be larger than the outer bottom surface 4 of the container body 2. On the contrary, when the rotating body 5b is rotated in the direction of arrow P, the open end surface 3 of the container body 2 is composed of the open ends 3b and 3b of the rotating body 5b and the open ends 3a and 3a of the container body 2. The open end 3 is formed smaller than the outer bottom surface 4 of the container body 2. Third
In the figure, reference numeral 5c of the rotating body 5b is a mounting table when another container 1 is stacked.

When the package 1 is to be stored in the container 1 for transportation, the rotating body 5b is rotated 270 in the P direction and then the bottom end of the container body 2 is fixed on the mounting table 5c. Thus, the containers 1 and 1 are vertically stacked.

When the container 1 is emptied by transporting the delivered product, the rotating body 5b is rotated 270 in the direction opposite to the P direction, and the contact portion T1 is brought into contact with the step portion D1. Since the open end face 3 formed by the open ends 3a, 3a, 3a, 3a is larger than the outer bottom face 4, a space for accommodating another container 1 is formed inside the container 1. . If the containers 1 are successively accommodated in this space, the containers 1 will be accommodated in a nested manner.

In the above, it is possible to change the design of the rotation angle of the rotating body 5b to, for example, 90 or 180. The adjusting member provided at the open end of the container body 2 may be provided on the bottom surface of the container body or on the side surface near the bottom surface. Also in this case, various variations can be considered.

[0013]

According to the present invention, with the above-described structure, the size of the opening end face of the container body 2 can be easily adjusted by simply rotating the rotating body, and the container is inserted when the empty body is transported. Since they can be sequentially housed in separate containers in a child-like manner, the space required for conventional empty space transportation can be greatly reduced.

Further, since the work of disassembling at the time of transportation of the empty body is unnecessary and only the rotating work of the rotating body is required, there is an effect that the troublesomeness in the conventional example is eliminated.
