[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a box-shaped resin-molded empty can storage container that is placed in the vicinity of a vending machine and stores an empty can such as soft drink.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As an empty can storage container of this type, a container composed of a wire mesh as shown in FIG. 6 or a container made of resin having an appearance as shown in FIG. 7 is used. It is located nearby. In addition, vending machines are often installed in stores in general, so the space for placing this empty can storage container is extremely small, and the number of places is infinite.Therefore, it is a space-saving and aesthetically pleasing shape. Are needed. FIG. 8 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a bottom box of which the lid portion is not shown in the container of FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the container is arranged beside the vending machine. 7 to 9, 1 is a bottom box, 2 is a bottom part, 3 is a side part, 4 is a top opening, 5 is a vending machine, 6 is a gap, and 7 is a lid. As shown in the drawing, the bottom box 1 of the resin container has a shape having a slope, and the bottom surface portion 2 is narrower than the upper opening portion 4.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the empty can storage container shown in FIG. 6 has a problem that it requires a lot of space and the appearance is extremely impaired. Further, in the case of the shape having a slope as shown in FIG. 7, the bottom surface portion 2 has a narrower width than the upper opening portion 4 and is unstable. Furthermore, since there is a dimensional difference between the bottom surface portion 2 and the upper opening portion 4, when the equipment is placed next to the vending machine 5 as shown in FIG. There was a problem of spoiling the aesthetics. Also, as shown in Fig. 9, when the size of the front of the container is large, the container does not fully enter the store in the horizontal direction in the same row as the vending machine, and the vending machine is placed facing the sidewalk. In some cases, there is the problem of occupying the sidewalk or being extremely inconvenient.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an empty can storage container that is inexpensive, has a small space, and is highly stable.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, an empty can storage container of the first invention is a box-shaped resin-molded container for storing an empty can of soft drink, etc. It is assumed that the area is the same and there is no draft in the vertical section. The container for storing an empty can of the second invention is a box-shaped resin-molded container for storing an empty can such as soft drink, and a magnet is attached to the side surface of the container. An empty can storage container of the third invention is a box-shaped resin-molded container for storing empty cans such as soft drinks, in which the width of the side of the container is at least twice the width of the front. Shall be

[0006]

[Action]

 In the first invention, when the empty can storage container is arranged beside the vending machine 5 as shown in FIG. 5, the container is configured so as not to have a slope, so that there is a gap between the container and the vending machine 5. Rarely occurs. Further, since the magnet is arranged on the side surface portion 3, the magnet is attracted to the side surface of the vending machine and cannot be easily separated, so that it can be firmly fixed. Further, by making the width dimension of the side surface portion 11 twice or more the dimension of the front surface portion 10, it is extremely effective without taking up a space on the plane as a container.

[0007]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the structure of an embodiment of the first invention. The lid is not shown in the figure, and in this empty can storage container, the side surface portion 3 has no slope and the side surface portion 3 is constituted by a surface perpendicular to the bottom surface portion 2. FIG. 2 is a lateral cross-sectional view of an empty can storage container showing an embodiment of the second and third inventions, and FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view showing a magnet embedded in an upper part of one side of the container. In FIG. Although it is embedded by insert method at the time of molding, it is also possible to attach it later by a method of penetrating the thick part from the inner surface of the container after molding separately. FIG. 4 is a side view showing the structure of the surface of the container in contact with the vending machine, and FIG. 5 is an external view showing a state in which the empty can storage container is arranged beside the vending machine. 1 to 5, 8 is a magnet arranged on one side of the peripheral portion 4, 9 is a peripheral portion of the empty can storage container, 10 is a front surface portion of the container, and 11 is a side surface portion viewed from the upper surface.

In such a configuration, when the container is arranged beside the vending machine 5 as shown in FIG. 5, there is almost no gap between the container and the vending machine, and the appearance is very good. .. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the one provided with a magnet is attracted to the vending machine and cannot be easily separated so that it is firmly fixed. Further, since the width dimension of the side surface portion 11 is twice as large as the dimension of the front surface portion 10 or more, it is extremely preferable for use because it does not take up a space on the plane as a container.

[0009]

【The invention's effect】

 According to the first invention, when the container is arranged beside the vending machine, there is almost no gap between the vending machine and the container, the space is effectively utilized, and the appearance is extremely good. Is. Further, according to the second invention, the one provided with the magnet is attracted to the vending machine and is not easily separated, so that it is firmly fixed and there is no fear of falling. Further, according to the third invention, the width of the side face is twice or more the size of the front face, so that it is extremely preferable for use without taking up a space on the plane as a container.
