Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a connecting tool for connecting bottle storage containers for storing liquid storage bottles and the like to each other, for example, for preventing the stacked storage containers from collapsing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in the food industry, a rectangular parallelepiped storage container 1 made of a synthetic resin as shown in FIG. 5 is used for distributing a product in which a glass bottle or a synthetic resin bottle is filled with a beverage or a seasoning. Has been done. The storage container 1 stores the bottle B in each storage chamber partitioned by a partition wall (not shown), and in the distribution process, when transferring from the warehouse to the truck or from the truck to the train, as shown in FIG. It is loaded in multiple stages on No. 5 and transported by forklift. In addition, the storage container 1 stacked in multiple stages on the pallet 5 has a synthetic resin string 6 or a strip-shaped film wound around the top storage container 1 in order to prevent the load from collapsing due to an impact during transportation. Are united as one.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, there has been a problem that the binding work of the string 6 and the band-shaped film requires a lot of time with a plurality of workers. In addition, when some storage containers 1 are unloaded from the uppermost storage containers 1, the remaining uppermost storage containers 1 must be re-bonded, which requires a great deal of labor again. There was a problem. Further, when the unloading work is completed, the string 6 and the film are discarded, which causes a problem of wasting resources and deteriorating the environment.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a connector for connecting adjacent bottle storage containers to each other, which engages with the inner engagement surfaces of a plurality of connected storage containers. At least two locking portions are integrally provided on the main body.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the connecting tool, the engaging portion is engaged with the inner engagement surface of the adjacent bottle storage container, and the relative movement of the connected bottle storage container is blocked.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3 show three types of connectors according to the present invention. In the connector 10 of FIG. 1, four arms 12 of a cross-shaped main body 11 are extended downward to form four locking pieces. 13 are formed. Similarly, in the connector 20 of FIG. 2, the arm portion 22 of the Y-shaped main body 21 is extended downward and three locking pieces 23 are formed. Further, the connector 30 of FIG. 3 includes two locking pieces 32 extending downward from the main body 31. These connecting members may be obtained by a mold using reinforced plastic as a material, or may be obtained by thermally deforming a plastic plate, for example. Further, the material is not limited to plastic, and may be molded from metal such as aluminum or stainless steel. Further, the lengths of the locking pieces 13, 23, 32 in the respective connecting tools 10, 20, 30 do not have to be the same, and the respective lengths may be different.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting tools 10, 20, 30 are used to connect the storage containers 1 stacked in multiple stages on the pallet 5, and the connecting tool 10 is used for connecting the four storage containers 1. The corners are arranged in adjacent portions, and the four locking pieces 13 are engaged with the inner surface corners 2 of the respective storage containers 1 to connect the four storage containers 10 to each other. The connector 20 is arranged at a portion where the three storage containers 1 are adjacent to each other, that is, at a portion where a corner portion of the two storage containers 1 and a side surface portion of the other storage container 1 are adjacent to each other, and the two locking pieces 23 are provided. The two storage containers 1 are engaged with the inner corners 2, and the remaining one locking piece 23 is engaged with the side inner surface 3 of the remaining storage container 1 to connect these three storage containers 1 to each other. The connector 30 is disposed in a portion where the side surfaces of the two storage containers 1 are adjacent to each other, and the two locking pieces 32 are provided on the side surface portion 3 of the storage container 1 or as shown in FIG. If there are holes 4 in each of the holes 4, the locking pieces 32 are inserted into and engaged with the holes 4, respectively, and the two storage containers 1 are connected to each other. Thereby, the uppermost storage containers 1 are all connected to each other. The collapse of the storage container is sufficient if the topmost storage container 1 is prevented from falling outward, and if the uppermost storage containers 1 are sufficiently connected to each other, the lower storage container 1 The collapse of the container is prevented by the weight of the upper storage container 1 and the bottle B.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the connector of the present invention, it is possible to easily connect the adjacent storage containers by simply engaging the locking piece of the connector with the upper portion of the storage container. Therefore, it is possible to easily prevent the stacked storage containers from collapsing and collapsing. Also, when several storage containers are taken out from a plurality of connected storage containers, it is sufficient to remove only the connecting tool that connects the storage containers to be taken out, and it is not necessary to reconnect the remaining storage containers. Easier unloading of containers. In addition, the connector can be reused many times, and unloading does not generate waste such as the conventional string and film, which contributes to environmental protection.
