Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a foldable storage box provided in a luggage room of a vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As an article storage device used in a luggage room of a vehicle, as shown in FIG. 10, a compartment for partitioning the luggage room by a net or the like has been proposed (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-177537). . The article storage device 9 has a frame member 90 including a main frame portion 91 detachably attached to a wall surface in the luggage room and a sub-frame portion 92 connected to the main frame portion 91.

A net 93 is attached to the frame member 90, and an open article storage portion 94 is formed above the net 93. A luggage room is divided by the article storage section 94. In using the article storage device 9, various articles 8 are stored in the article storage section 94 in accordance with the size and use. Therefore, division of various articles becomes easy, which is convenient when using the articles.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved]

 However, the above conventional technique has the following problems. That is, since the main frame portion 91 is fixed by the sub-frame portion 92, the article storage device 9 cannot be folded when it is stored. Therefore, the article storage device 9 has the same size even when no articles are stored. Therefore, it always occupies a large space.

As a result, the size of the luggage room cannot be fully utilized effectively. Also, because it is fixed to the vehicle body, it is not easy to remove it. The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a storage box that is thin, lightweight, and foldable when the box is not used.

[0006]

[Means for solving the problem]

 The present invention is a foldable storage box provided in a luggage room of a vehicle, the storage box having a pipe-shaped upper frame body and a lower frame body, and the upper frame body and the lower frame body. Between them, a foldable net is provided, and a detachable fixing bracket for holding the upper frame and the lower frame at a predetermined interval is attached. It is in a foldable storage box.

What is most noticeable in the present invention is that the storage box is configured to be foldable by the upper frame body, the lower frame body and the net.

As the upper frame body, for example, a pipe formed in a substantially square shape or a rectangular shape is used. The same applies to the lower frame. It is preferable that the lower frame body and the upper frame body have substantially the same shape. This allows the storage box to be folded and stored compactly. As the net, it is preferable to use, for example, a synthetic resin yarn such as nylon or vinylon. This improves the durability of the storage box.

The fixing bracket is made of, for example, a metal plate. It is preferable that one end of the bracket is rotatably attached to either the upper frame body or the lower frame body, and the other end is locked to either the lower frame body or the upper frame body. This facilitates the assembly or folding storage of the storage box.

A bottom plate of the storage box is provided between the lower frames. The bottom plate is made of synthetic resin, cloth or net, metal plate or net, wood board. It is preferable that the storage box has a central frame body for partitioning one or a plurality of partitions so that it can be erected or inverted. This makes it possible to divide the storage compartment of the storage box into multiple parts.

[0011]

[Action and effect]

 In using the storage box according to the present invention, the upper frame is first pulled up in the storage box in the folded state at the time of storage. Then raise the fixing bracket. Then, fix one end of the bracket to the upper frame. As a result, the upper frame body and the lower frame body are assembled into a box shape. Therefore, along with this, the net also expands and is stretched between the top and bottom to complete the storage box.

On the other hand, when the storage box is not used, it is folded and stored by performing the reverse operation of the above assembling. That is, first, one end of the bracket is removed from the upper frame. Next, the upper frame is placed on the lower frame and the net is folded.

As a result, the storage box can be folded and stored. Therefore, when loading a large luggage that does not fit in the storage box or when the storage box becomes an obstacle, the storage box can be easily removed and the luggage room can be widely used. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lightweight and foldable storage box that is thin during storage.

【Example】

 A storage box according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage box of this example is a foldable storage box 1 provided in a luggage room, and has a pipe-shaped upper frame body 11 and a lower frame body 12.

A foldable net 15 is stretched between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12. Further, between the upper frame body 11 and the lower frame body 12, a detachable fixing bracket 14 for holding the both at a predetermined interval is attached. At the center of the storage box 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a partitioning central frame 13 provided with a net 16 is provided so as to be erected or upside down. A sub-bracket 140 is provided in the vicinity of the central frame body 13 similarly to the bracket 14.

The upper frame 11 is made of a lightweight metal pipe such as aluminum. The same applies to the lower frame body 12 and the central frame body 13. The bracket 14 is made of a durable metal plate such as stainless steel. As shown in FIG. 2, the bracket 14 has a lower end 142 rotatably attached to the lower frame 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the bracket 14 has a semi-arcuate engaging portion 141 for engaging with the upper frame 11 at the tip portion. The sub-bracket 140 is similar. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper frame 11 has a locking projection 111 directed downward. The locking projection 111 is attached to the upper frame 11 by welding.

On the other hand, the bent portion 131 of the central frame 13 is provided with a locking hole 130 into which the locking projection 111 is inserted. As shown in FIG. 5, a locking projection 132 is attached to the lower end of the central frame 13 by welding. Further, the lower frame 12 is provided with a locking hole 120 for engaging the locking projection 132.

As shown in FIG. 6, an engaging ring 121 is attached between the lower frame 12 and the bottom plate 17. The bottom plate 17 is made of a synthetic resin plate and has an engagement hole 170 into which the engagement ring 121 is loosely fitted. The engagement ring 121 is made of a metal ring such as brass. The lower frame body 12 is fitted in the engagement ring 121.

As a result, the lower frame 12 and the bottom plate 17 are connected to each other with a certain clearance and degree of freedom. The nets 15 and 16 are made of a foldable lightweight body in which threads made of synthetic resin such as nylon and vinylon are knitted in a mesh shape. The nets 15 and 16 are stretched between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 and in the central frame 13 with a certain slack.

Next, the function and effect will be described. In using the storage box 1 according to this example, as shown in FIG. 7, in the storage box 1 in the folded storage state, the upper frame 11 is first pulled up in the arrow direction. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixing bracket 14 is raised. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the locking portion 141 at one end of the bracket 14 is locked and fixed to the upper frame 11. As a result, the upper frame body 11 and the lower frame body 12 are assembled in a box shape.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the central frame 13 is raised (FIG. 1), and the locking projections of the upper frame 11 are inserted into the locking holes 130 formed in the bent portion 131. Insert 111.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the locking projections 132 provided on the lower end of the central frame 13 are fitted into the locking holes 120 provided on the lower frame 12. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage box 1 in which the article storage section 18 is divided into two by the central frame 13 is assembled. Then, various kinds of daily articles (not shown) are stored in the article storage section 18.

Further, when the article storage section 18 is not divided into two as in FIG. 1 and is desired to be widely used, the central frame body 13 is laid down on the bottom plate 17 as shown in FIG. Then, instead of the central frame 13, the sub-bracket 140 is locked to the upper frame 11 in the same manner as the bracket 14.

On the other hand, when the storage box 1 is folded and stored without using the storage box 1, the reverse operation of the above assembly is performed. That is, first, one end of the bracket 14 is removed from the upper frame 11. Next, the upper frame body 11 is placed on the lower frame body 12 and the nets 15 and 16 are folded. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the brackets 14 and 140 are rotated to the back side of the bottom plate 17. Then, the belt 3 made of rubber is hung over all of them.

As a result, the storage box 1 is thinly folded and stored. Therefore, the storage box 1 does not interfere with the storage in the luggage room. Further, since the central frame 13 having the net 16 is provided at the center of the article storage section 18, the article storage section 18 can be partitioned into a plurality of sections. Therefore, it is easy to collect small items.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the storage box 1 is used by being placed in the luggage room 21 at the rear position of the seats 22 and 23. As a result, the storage box 21 can be conveniently used in both the driver-side seat 22 and the passenger-side seat 23. Also, as shown in FIG. 9, one storage box 1 can be used, and the other one can be folded and stored at the rear end of the luggage room or the like. As a result, the luggage room 21 can be effectively used even when relatively long luggage 31, 32 such as a cardboard case is placed in the luggage room 21. In FIGS. 8 and 9, reference numeral 24 is a steering wheel, and 25 is a console box. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lightweight and foldable storage box that is thin when stored.
