[Industrial applications]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is capable of stably stacking a plurality of containers in the front-rear and vertical directions and firmly stacking them, and is particularly suitable for securing load stability when storing products. Regarding a container for product display.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, containers for displaying confectionery, toys, and the like in stores have been formed of transparent cylindrical or rectangular cylindrical boxes with product entrances on the top or front. When these containers are stacked on top of each other, or connected side by side, a concavo-convex fitting is provided on the top surface, front surface, bottom surface or back surface to bring them into a connected state, or when they are connected side by side, they are connected to the top or the front. It was done to make the container size smaller toward the part.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, these containers cannot be stacked one on top of the other at the store, and can only be placed side by side, and there is a problem that it takes up a lot of space when displaying products of multiple types. . For this reason, it is possible to stack in multiple stages by using a container with a smaller volume than the lower container and adopting smaller containers as it goes up, but in that case it is necessary to prepare containers of various volumes with different volumes. There was a difficult point. Furthermore, when a variety of products are to be stacked in a pyramid shape at an event or exhibition, for example, as in the case of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-22725, a convex portion is provided on the top surface and a concave portion is provided on the bottom surface. There is a restriction that it is not possible to stack in a pyramid shape with a multi-tiered product display container that fits into the concave and convex portions of another container. As long as recesses and protrusions fit together, stacking is limited to the vertical direction only. For this reason, for example, in the case of a structure in which the protrusions and recesses of the convex portion are formed to be comparatively small and can be pushed in or pulled out by the impact resilience of the synthetic resin, on the contrary, the mating state is not strong, However, there is a problem that the fitting is easily disengaged and detached even by the external force.

For this reason, the present inventor previously disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-30267 that an article inlet / outlet is provided on a slanted front surface to form a transparent container main body having a top surface and a bottom surface parallel to each other. A dovetail protrusion with an inverted trapezoidal cross-section is provided to slide and fit the upper container in the stacked state to the side, and a horizontal direction to fit the dovetail protrusion of the lower container on the bottom surface. The dovetail groove is formed in a penetrating state across both the left and right side walls of the container body, and the dovetail projection on the top surface is arranged at a position slightly retracted from the dovetail groove on the bottom surface. We propose a container for displaying confectionery.

However, the above proposal is not limited to the conventional fitting by the unevenness in the vertical direction as in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-22725, and the fitting is not limited to the left and right side walls of the container. It is a strong type that is slidably mounted on the lateral groove rail that is in a penetrating state, which allows stacking like a pyramid mountain type and strong fitting mounting, while the fitting operation is Since it is limited to the horizontal direction, if it is necessary to remove the container at a certain place even if it is stacked in multiple stages, depending on the stacking place, remove the containers at the engaging mounting part only in the horizontal direction, and then repeat it again. It was forced to be slidably fitted in the lateral direction to be engaged and mounted. Although the stacked containers are firmly connected by sliding fitting in the direction of the lateral groove, the stacked containers are subject to load, so vertical or higher containers will recede after being stowed to maintain the stability of the stacked containers. It is configured so as to be engaged and mounted at a reduced position. Therefore, for example, since there is a space between the lower container and the lid of the product entrance / exit, there is no obstacle to the attachment / detachment of the lid, and the effect of two birds with one stone that facilitates the taking out of the product of the lower container can be obtained. In order to resolve the problem, the above-mentioned proposal has a configuration in which the dovetail projection on the top surface of the container body is disposed at a position slightly retracted from the dovetail groove on the bottom surface.

The present invention provides a product entrance and exit on a slanted front surface to form a container body having a top surface and a bottom surface parallel to each other, and an engaging projection (present) and a concave recess on the bottom surface of the container body. In a container for product display that can be fitted and fitted with a groove (deep groove), a member having an inverted trapezoidal cross-section that allows a higher-level container to be slidably fitted vertically on the top surface of the container body. A structure in which a mating protrusion is provided, and a concave groove in the front-rear longitudinal direction for inserting the engaging protrusion of the lower container is inserted in the bottom surface as a penetrating state across both front and rear walls of the container body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-stage type product display container characterized by comprising:

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present inventor has slidably fitted and mounted the upper container in the longitudinal longitudinal direction in a state where the conventional multi-stage stackable product storage containers are stacked. The present invention has been achieved as a result of intensive studies on a configuration in which the projection and the concave groove are formed in a penetrating state across the side walls in front of and behind the container. That is, a product inlet / outlet is provided on the sloped front surface to form a container main body having a top surface and a bottom surface parallel to each other, and an upper container is vertically slidably fitted on the top surface of the container main body. An engaging projection having an inverted trapezoidal cross section to be fitted is provided in a protruding manner, and a recessed groove in the front-rear longitudinal direction for fitting the above-mentioned engaging projection of a lower container is provided on the bottom surface across both front and rear walls of the container body. In order to secure the stability when stacking the containers containing the product contents, for example, the upper and lower parts are not only cleared of the restrictions associated with the vertical fitting by sliding laterally, but also the upper and lower parts. In order to ensure stability depending on the vertical position of each container or the state of product storage, it is possible to arbitrarily select whether to fit and mount the container backwards to the rear, and to select the engaging projections. The position is set in advance so that it is , There is no need to be molded.

【Example】

 An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container body of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state in which the container body is fitted and mounted. The container body 1 of this idea is made of a transparent plastic molded product molded by a blow molding machine (not shown), and the lower edge 2 is in front of the upper edge 7 with an inclination angle of 45 to 75 degrees. A receptacle-shaped article inlet / outlet 4 is provided on a sloped front surface 3 (approximately 60 degrees in FIGS. 1 and 2), and a substantially hexahedral container body 1 in which a top surface 5 and a bottom surface 6 are parallel to each other is formed. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line L-L. The container main body 1 has a vertically oriented flat surface for slidingly fitting the upper container in a state of being stacked on the top surface 5, An engagement projection 8 having a vertical cross-section inverted trapezoidal shape having a lateral width L of at least ⅓ or more, preferably about ⅔ of the length in the lateral width direction formed to extend to a position close to the front and rear ends. Further, a concave groove 9 is formed on the bottom surface for fitting the engaging projection 8 of the lower container, and the engaging projection 8 is placed in a vertical position or a slightly retracted position with respect to the longitudinal groove in the longitudinal direction. The upper and lower container bodies 1 can be freely mounted by appropriately slidingly fitting them. The article inlet / outlet port 4 has a short cylindrical shape protruding from the front surface 3 and is covered with a tray-shaped circular lid 10.

The container main body 1 is provided with inverted U-shaped grooves 11 for reinforcement on both left and right side surfaces, and is configured to withstand a plurality of containers stacked above and the loads of stored items well. Further, the lower edge 2 of the inclined front surface 3 is connected to the bottom surface 6 by a flat inclined surface 12 having an inclination angle of about 60 degrees, and there is a gap between the lower surface 2 and the lid 10 of the article entrance / exit 4 of the lower container and the lid is closed. There is no problem in putting on and taking off the item 10, and it is easy to take out the item from here. In the gap between the tray-shaped circular lid 10 and the article inlet / outlet port 4 of the lower container, the engaging projection 8, the concave groove and the concave groove 9 are arranged at the vertical position or shown in FIG. As described above, the engaging projection 8 can be fitted and mounted at any position where the engaging projection 8 is slightly retracted from the groove 9. Furthermore, since the product entrance / exit 4 is in the shape of a receiving port, it is possible to store a large amount of loose material inside the container.

Further, in the configuration of the present invention, the configuration is such that it is slidably fitted by sliding in the front-rear longitudinal direction. However, if necessary, for example, considering the material, container wall thickness, etc., the top surface of the container body is considered. If each is provided with engaging projections that can be fitted in either the front-rear longitudinal direction or the left-right lateral direction, make them intersect with the bottom surface of the container body in a shape that can be fitted in any of them. The engaging projection formed on the top surface of the lower container can be slid and fitted in either the front-rear longitudinal direction or the left-right lateral direction. The container bodies can be stacked so that they can slide freely from the front, rear, left and right. Further, depending on the selection of material plastic, the container can be fitted with or removed from the engaging projection 8 in the concave groove 9 by simply pressing and pulling it out by utilizing the elasticity thereof.

[Operation] The container of the present invention is formed with the engaging protrusion 8 and the concave groove 9 on the top surface 5 and the bottom surface 6 to be slidably fitted in the front-rear longitudinal direction, and the container to be stacked on the upper side is the front-rear direction. It is a slide system that slides and fits by sliding from the vertical direction, and the upper containers are sequentially stacked. Since these containers are firmly connected by the engaging projection 8 and the concave groove 9, they are not separated or fallen down by an external force. Further, in the container of the present invention, not only can the containers be fitted and mounted in a state where they are vertical to each other in a multi-stage stack, but also when the items to be stored are heavy, the fitting parts can be adjusted arbitrarily because they are on the top. It has a slightly rearwardly sloping configuration, and works so as to exhibit functionality suitable for constructing a stable multistage structure.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the container according to the present invention has a structure in which the container is slid in the front-rear longitudinal direction and fitted and mounted so that it can be stably stacked in multiple stages. In addition, since the blow molding is possible, the containers that can be stacked in a multi-stage mold having the same shape and size can be industrially manufactured at low cost. In addition, the container provides a reliable locking property, and the operation of attaching and detaching is a simple sliding method in the front-rear and longitudinal directions. For example, in addition to bulk confectionery, various loose shapes such as toys and solid bath salts are also available. It can be used as a container for product display, and when stacked in a store, it can be used three-dimensionally in a narrow space without taking up a large space.Moreover, the mounting and fitting positions of the upper and lower containers can be adjusted as desired, so The load stability can be secured.
