Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage tray for storing a large number of nursery pots which are made of a synthetic resin or the like having a relatively hard and thin thickness and which have a substantially rectangular flat section or a substantially circular section. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in this type of storage tray,
A tray for storing a large number of nursery pots formed of a soft synthetic resin is known. For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-27314, this tray has a rectangular frame and a large number of vertical ribs and horizontal ribs. The ribs are divided into a number of rectangular side frame parts that are orthogonal to each other at equal intervals, and the corners where the side frame parts intersect are cut off to form the side frame parts. From which the legs are slanted downward in the direction of approaching each other, and the corners of the bottom frame portion provided with drainage are connected to the lower ends of the legs to fit a soft nursery pot The structure was such that the fitting portion was formed.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned storage tray, the storage of the soft seedling pots to the storage fitting insertion portions is currently manually fitted by the respective workers. The work was inefficient and very annoying. Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can form a nursery pot from a relatively hard and thin synthetic resin or the like, and insert the nursery pot into each storage portion at a time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage tray that can be easily and efficiently stored.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a storage tray for a nursery pot, which stores a nursery pot formed of a relatively hard synthetic resin or the like, the upper part of which is open. And a plurality of storage spaces having storage spaces having substantially the same shape as the nursery pot surrounded by the bottom plate and the side plates are formed at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the storage spaces are larger than the outer dimensions of the nursery pot. The gist of the present invention is that it is formed to be slightly smaller, and the nursery pot is elastically fitted and held by the side plate portion so that the upper portion thereof projects from the upper surface of the storage tray.

[0005]

According to the above construction, in a state in which the bottom portions of the nursery pots are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions in the same manner as the storage section, the entire storage trays are reversed and the nursery pots are aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions. The seedling pots are directly inserted into the respective storage parts of the storage tray to be stored by being fitted into the storage trays as they are. Since the nursery pot is formed to be slightly smaller than the storage unit, for example, approximately 1 /
It is inserted up to the length of 2 and is elastically and surely fitted and held by each side plate portion.

[0006]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the whole storage tray, and a plurality of thin plate-shaped and rectangular base frames 2 having a desired width are arranged at equal intervals laterally with respect to a peripheral base frame piece 2a (see FIG. Two horizontal frame members 3) and a plurality of desired widths which are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction at right angles to the horizontal frame member 3 and at the same intervals as the horizontal frame member 3. A large number of storage sections 5 to 5 having a flat and substantially rectangular shape partitioned by a vertical frame member 4 of a book (in the figure, five cases are shown) (18 rows in total, 3 rows in the vertical direction and 6 rows in the horizontal direction in the figure). The case is shown).

Of the accommodating portions 5-5, the outermost peripheral edge portion 4
The storage parts 5 to 5 located at the one corner are slanted inwardly from the base frame piece 2a in one piece and the other piece orthogonal thereto, and at the same time, the side plate parts 6 and 6 are integrally suspended. Side plates 6 and 6 are integrally slanted inwardly from the side edges of the horizontal frame member 3 and the vertical frame member 4 orthogonal to the horizontal frame member 4 to form a bottom plate at the lower ends of the four side plates 6 to 6. The part 7 is integrally formed. In addition, the storage portions 5 to 5 located in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction (vertical and horizontal in FIG. 1) of the outermost peripheral edge portion are formed in one of the side plate portions obliquely inward from the base frame piece 2a. 6 are integrally hung, and side plate portions 6 to 6 are hung in an inward manner from the side edges of the horizontal frame member 3 and the vertical frame member 4 orthogonal to the horizontal frame member 3 to form an integral shape. A bottom plate portion 7 is integrally formed at the lower ends of the side plates 6 to 6. Further, the accommodating portions 5 to 5 located in the central portion of the drawing are formed by integrally forming the side plate portions 6 to 6 inwardly from the side edges of the horizontal frame member 3 and the vertical frame member 4 orthogonal thereto. The four side plates 6 to 6 are hung down.
A bottom plate portion 7 is integrally formed at the lower end of the. The bottom plate portions 7 to 7 of the respective storage portions 5 to 5 are integrally provided with + -shaped concave portions 8 to 8, and elongated water draining holes 9 to 9 are provided at four positions respectively. Has been done.

Therefore, the storage parts 5 to 5 have bottom plates 7 to 7 respectively.
The storage spaces 5a to 5a are formed in the shape of an inverted quadrangular pyramid, which is gradually narrowed toward the end, and the dimensions thereof are relatively hard and are formed of synthetic resin or the like having a relatively small thickness. It is desirable to form the seedling pot W slightly smaller than the outer size of the seedling pot W, and the seedling pot W is inserted into the storage portion 5 to a length of, for example, about ½ and the base frame piece 2a and the desired size. The lateral frame members 3 and the vertical frame members 4 each having a width are elastically fitted by the side plate portions 6 to 6 that are integrally hung from the side edges thereof.

The upper surface of each of the vertical frame members 4 to 4 is formed slightly lower than the upper surfaces of the horizontal frame members 3 and 3 and the base frame piece 2a, and the alternate recesses 10 are alternately formed integrally. Has been formed. Further, substantially circular recesses 11 are integrally formed at the portions on both sides of the horizontal frame members 3 and 3 that intersect the vertical frame members 4 to 4, respectively.

The storage tray 1 of this embodiment is constructed as described above, and its operation will be described. Now, a case where the seedling pot W is stored in each of the storage portions 5 to 5 of the storage tray 1 will be described. First, a substantially inverted quadrangular truncated pyramid shape formed of a relatively hard and thin synthetic resin or the like is used. The nursery pots W are arranged side by side in the vertical and horizontal directions with the bottom portion thereof facing upward, in the same manner as the storage units 5 to 5.

Then, the whole storage tray 1 is reversed and fitted into the nursery pots W arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions as it is, so that the nursery pots W are directly placed in the respective storage portions 5 to 5 of the storage tray 1. It is inserted and stored. In this case, the fitting state is such that the accommodating portions 5 to 5 have a substantially inverted quadrangular pyramid-shaped accommodating space portion whose width gradually decreases toward the bottom plate portions 7 to 7, and the dimensions thereof are relatively hard. Moreover, since it is formed in a size slightly smaller than the outer size of the substantially inverted truncated pyramid-shaped nursery pot W made of a synthetic resin or the like having a small thickness,
The seedling pot W is inserted into the storage portion 5, for example, to a length of about 1/2 and is integrally formed from the side edges of the base frame piece 2a and the horizontal frame member 3 and the vertical frame member 4 having a desired width. The side plate portions 6 to 6 that are hung down are elastically and securely fitted and held.

In this way, the seedling pots W can be inserted and stored at once in the storage portions 5 to 5 of the storage tray 1.

After that, the whole storage tray 1 is directed to a normal state together with the seedling raising pot W, and seeded in the seedling raising pot W together with soil such as culture soil, so as to cope with the subsequent seedling raising. Then, at a predetermined time, it is taken out from each of the storage sections 5 to 5 of the storage tray 1 of the nursery pot W, and in the taking-out work, the nursery pot W is stored in the storage section 5, for example,
Since the seedling pot W is inserted up to a length of about 1/2, that is, the seedling raising pot W is projected from the upper surface of the storage tray 1 by a length of about 1/2, the seedling pot W can be taken out with a very simple grip.

In this embodiment, a substantially inverted truncated pyramid-shaped seedling pot W made of a relatively hard and thin synthetic resin or the like is used.
In order to correspond to the above, each storage portion 5 to 5 of the storage tray 1 has a shape forming an inverted quadrangular pyramid-shaped storage space portion, but may have a shape forming an inverted truncated cone-shaped storage space portion, Further, the number of storage units 5 to 5 is not limited to that shown in the figure.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, a storage tray for a nursery pot for storing a nursery pot formed of a relatively hard synthetic resin or the like, the upper part of which is open and the bottom plate portion is And a plurality of storage units having storage spaces having substantially the same shape as the nursery pot surrounded by side plates are formed at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the storage spaces are formed to be slightly smaller than the outer dimensions of the nursery pot. Since the upper part of the seedling pot is elastically fitted and held by the side plate portion so that the upper part thereof projects from the upper surface of the storage tray, the seedling pot is vertically and horizontally oriented with its bottom part facing upward. In the same order as the storage section, by placing the whole storage tray in the opposite direction and fitting it into the seedling pots arranged in order in the vertical and horizontal directions, the seedling pots can be fitted into each storage section of the storage tray at once as they are. Can be inserted and stored Kill. This makes it possible to easily and efficiently store the nursery pots into the storage trays.
