DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional transport container, the mounting angle of the handle is parallel to the sheet stacking surface, and a gap is formed between the side wall of the container and the stacked sheets. Therefore, the paper in the container easily moved parallel to the paper surface during transportation, and as a result, the edges of the stacked papers were likely to be misaligned.

Further, in order to take out the bottom plate and the sheets stacked on the bottom plate from the inside of the container, the above-mentioned auxiliary stand is required.

Therefore, the present invention prevents the movement of the paper during transportation to prevent the misalignment of the paper edges after transportation, and
The purpose of the present invention is to make it easy to take out the paper from the container without using an auxiliary tool.

Means and Actions for Solving the Problems For this reason, the transport container according to the present invention has a quadrangular bottom 3
A container main body having both side walls along the sides and a rear wall and a front surface opened, and a bottom plate movably accommodated in the container main body in the up-down direction and the front-back direction, and the both side walls Each has a handle that tilts downward from the rear to the front.

When the carrying container is carried by supporting the handle, since the handle is horizontal, the entire container is inclined so that the inner surface of the rear wall thereof faces upward. Therefore, since the sheets stacked in the container are pressed against the rear wall by their own weight and received by the rear wall, they do not move in the container during transportation, and the rear edges of the sheets are aligned by the rear wall. Keeps orderly stacked.

When the container is placed at the removal place to take out the paper from the container, the container becomes upright from the inclined state during transportation, and the paper inside is in a state of being stacked on the bottom plate with the paper surface horizontal. . Therefore, if the container body is moved horizontally backwards, the bottom plate and the sheets stacked on it will pass through the open front surface of the container body and remain in the same position without any auxiliary tools. , Can be taken out of the container in an orderly stacked state.

Example Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to an illustrated example. FIG. 1 is a top view of a carrying container according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof. As can be seen from these drawings, the carrying container of this embodiment is a quadrilateral. The container body 1 is composed of two side walls 2, 2 and one rear wall 3 provided along the three sides of the bottom surface of the container body 1, the front surface 4, the upper surface 5 and the lower surface 6 of the container body 1 (see FIG. 3). ) Are open, but the open portion of the lower surface 6 can be covered with a separate bottom plate 7. That is, the projecting edge portions 8 projecting inward are provided at the lower ends of the respective side walls 2, and the engaging portions 9 projecting along the both side edges of the bottom plate 7 are provided above the projecting edge portions 8. The bottom plate 7 can be supported by covering the open portion of the lower surface 6 by engaging with each other. As shown in FIG. 2, the thickness t of the bottom plate 7 is determined so that the bottom surface of the bottom plate 7 projects downward from the bottom surface of the projection edge portion 8 when the bottom plate 7 is supported by the projection edge portion 8. The reason will be described later.

On the inner surface of the rear wall 3 is provided a rubber stopper 10 extending vertically along the inner surface. Handles 11 are provided on the upper portions of the outer surfaces of both side walls 2, respectively.
Is provided so that the rear is high and the front is low as illustrated.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the above-mentioned transport container is set on the sheet stacking device to receive sheets, and the container body 1 is placed on the inclined tray 12 of the sheet stacking device. At this time, the inclined tray 12 is in the horizontal position, and therefore the container body 1 is upright with the walls 2 and 3 being vertical. The bottom plate 7 is lifted up by the elevating member 13 of the paper stacking device, and the paper 15 is discharged from the paper transport device 14 onto the bottom plate 7. The ejected paper 15 advances rearward (to the right in the figure) along both side walls 2, hits the stopper 10 of the rear wall 3 and stops, and is stacked on the bottom plate 7. Each time a certain amount of sheets are stacked, the bottom plate 7 is sequentially lowered by the elevating member 13, and finally contacts the inclined tray 12 and stops. The elevating member 13 passes through a notch provided in the inclined tray 12 and escapes downward.

When a predetermined amount of sheets 15 are stacked in the container body 1 in this way, the inclined tray 12 rotates around the hinge 16 and becomes an inclined state as shown in FIG. The main body 1 is also inclined so that the handle 11 becomes horizontal.
The sheets 15 are more surely pressed against the stopper 10 by their own weight, and the rear edges of the sheets 15 are aligned by the stopper 10 and are held in an orderly stacked state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the handle 11 is held by hand and the container body 1 is lifted and transported together with the inner bottom plate 7 and the paper sheet 15. At this time, the handle 11 is held horizontally. As a result, the container body 1 is inclined, and the sheets 15 are pressed against the bottom plate 7 and the stopper 10 by their own weight. Therefore, the sheets 15 do not move during transportation and the stacked state does not collapse. When the container body 1 is lifted from the inclined tray 12, the bottom plate 7 that has been placed on the inclined tray 12 until now.
Is slightly lowered, the engaging portion 9 engages with the protruding edge portion 8 at the lower end of the side wall 2, and the lower surface 7a of the bottom plate 7 projects below the lower surface 8a of the protruding edge portion 8.

When this carrying container is carried to a predetermined place and placed on a workbench 17 or the like at that place as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the container body 1 is in an upright state, and at the same time, the bottom plate 7 Since the lower surface contacts the lower surface of the work table 17, the bottom plate 7 is slightly pushed into the container body 1 and the engagement between the engagement portion 9 and the projecting edge portion 8 is released. Since the bottom plate 7 and the container body 1 are individually placed on the workbench 17, the container body 1 is placed on the workbench 17 as shown in FIG.
If the bottom plate 7 is moved backward along with, the bottom plate 7 and the sheets 15 stacked on the bottom plate 7 pass through the open portion of the front surface of the container body 1 and remain in the same position as they are. Are taken out from the container body 1 without breaking the state of being stacked orderly.

The case where the transport container is transported by hand has been described above. However, by engaging the engaging member of an appropriate transport device with the handle 11,
Of course, it can be carried by the carrying device.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the stacking paper transport container of the present invention includes a container body having both side walls and a rear wall along the three sides of the bottom surface of the quadrangle, the front surface of which is open, and each wall in the container body. It consists of a bottom plate that can be moved vertically and forward and backward, and the side walls are provided with handles that incline downwards from the rear to the front, so that the paper moves during transportation. It is possible to prevent misalignment of the edges of the subsequent sheet and to easily take out the sheet from the container without using an auxiliary tool.
