Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a container used for storing small items in, for example, a kitchen or a vanity.

[Conventional technology]

In a cabinet such as a vanity, a tray, a container, and the like for storing makeup tools and other small articles are incorporated in and out freely. FIG. 9 shows a typical example of such a container for storage, in which a box-shaped container body 50 is formed of synthetic resin or the like according to the depth of the drawer or the like. A partition plate 51 that partitions the container body 50 into a plurality of rooms is detachably incorporated so that small items can be organized and stored. The partition plate 51 is fixed by fitting it into the groove 52 formed in the inner wall of the container body 50 in the vertical direction, and the number and size of the rooms can be changed by increasing or decreasing the number according to the size and bulk of the small items. It is ready for use.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, when the thickness of the container main body 50 is small, the depth of the groove 52 becomes small as shown in FIG. 10 (a). This is because, if the groove 52 is made too deep, the wall thickness of the groove 52 portion becomes thin and the strength becomes weak, so it is necessary to limit the depth of the groove 52. If the groove 52 cannot be deep due to the restriction due to the wall thickness as described above, the fitting of the partition plate 51 becomes unstable, and the partition plate 51 is likely to come off, resulting in a difficulty in usability.

On the other hand, if the wall thickness of the container body 50 is increased as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the depth of the groove 52 will be sufficient and the partition plate 51 can be stably supported. However, since the container body 50 becomes heavy, it is not suitable for accommodating frequently used small items, and the cost becomes high.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to properly support a partition plate without making the entire container body thick and to optimally use it as a storage container for small items.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention is a storage container that is detachably provided with a partition plate that divides the interior into a plurality of rooms, and is incorporated in a rack in which a frame-shaped frame is configured by wire rods. A flange that can be placed on and locked to the main body, a bulging portion that is vertically formed on the outer surface of the main body from the lower side of the flange, and the partition plate that is formed on the inner wall of the main body at a position aligned with the bulging portion. A groove that can be held in and out is provided, and a bulging portion formed on the outer surface of the main body is incorporated so as to be slidably contactable with a wire rod of a frame to which the flange is locked.

[Action]

By carving the groove so as to correspond to the bulging portion provided on the outer wall of the main body, the wall thickness of the main body of the part where the groove is carved is partially increased. Therefore, the depth of the groove can be set large,
The fitting with the partition plate is ensured and this can be supported stably. In addition, the rack that holds the storage container has a frame structure made of wire rods, so that the bulging part slides on the wire rods so that the flanges hang on the wire rods. Is supported and the width or the front-back direction is restricted by the bulging portion. When the storage container is moved while being assembled in the rack, only the surface of the bulging portion serves as the contact surface with the wire rod, and therefore it can be handled with a light touch.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage container showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway plan view showing a partition plate.

In the figure, the main body 1 of the storage container is formed in a box shape having an open upper end, and a flange 2 extending horizontally is provided around the upper end.
Are provided integrally. The main body 1 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin such as ABS by injection molding, and the grooves 4 for incorporating the partition plate 3 are carved at four positions on the inner wall. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 3, the partition plate 3 is formed so that the inside of the main body 1 is divided into five chambers by four plate portions. Then, the edges 3b at both ends of each of the two holding plates 3a are removably fitted into the groove 4.

The groove 4 is formed so as to run in the vertical direction, and the outer wall of the main body 1 is integrally formed with a bulging portion 5 that protrudes outward in accordance with the portion where the groove 4 is formed. The bulging portion 5 is formed as a cross section having a curved outline as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG.

If the bulging portion 5 is provided so as to match the position of the groove 4, the groove 4 can be formed deep without increasing the wall thickness t of the main body 1. Since the bulging portion 5 has sufficient strength around the groove 4, there is no fear of cracking. Therefore, the partition plate 3 can be stably supported, and at the same time, the strength of the main body 1 itself is compensated, and the partition plate 3 can be optimally used for storing small items.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a partially cutaway plan view showing a partition plate.

The main body 1 of the storage container is formed longer than that of FIG. 1, and one plate-shaped partition plate 6 is incorporated in addition to the partition plate 3 shown in FIG. Then, the bulging portion 5 is integrally formed in conformity with the position of the groove 4 into which the partition plates 3 and 6 are fitted, and the depth of the groove 4 is made deep as in the case of FIG. Stable support for 6. Further, a rib 7 is formed in the center of the main body 1 so as to have strength and also used for partitioning the inside.

FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing an example in which a storage container is incorporated in a cabinet of a vanity, and FIG. 7 is a vertical sectional view of an internal structure.

A drawer type rack 11 is incorporated in the cabinet 10 so that it can be freely taken in and out, and a frame 12 made of a steel wire is fixed to the back of a front plate 11a of the rack 11. Frame 12
Is formed by running two steel wires parallel to each other, and inserting the main body 1 of the storage container into these steel wires and placing the lower surface of the flange 2 on the steel wires of the support parts 12a. Thus, the main body 1 is supported.

FIG. 8A is a side view when the main body 1 is held by the supporting portion 12a, FIG. 8B is a bottom view, and FIG. 8C is an enlarged transverse sectional view of the bulging portion 5.

In the figure, the surface on which the bulging portion 5 is formed is incorporated so as to face the steel wire 12b side, and the flange 2 is placed and supported on the steel wire 12b of the support portion 12a. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), since the outer shape of the bulging portion 5 is a curved surface, only the most protruding peripheral surface of the bulging portion 5 abuts the steel wire 12b. If the bulging portions 5 are formed at least at two positions in the running direction of the steel wire 12b, the steel wire 12b can be received only by the bulging portion 5 as shown in FIG. 8 (b). Therefore, even when the main body 1 is slidably used, only a part of the bulging portion 5 is scratched, so that the appearance is maintained and the durability is improved. Further, when sliding along the steel wire 12b, since the contact area with the steel wire 12b is small, sliding resistance can be suppressed and the main body 1 can be moved with a light touch.

In this way, the bulging portion 5 not only deepens the groove 4 to enable stable support of the partition plates 3 and 6, but also further improves the usability when it is incorporated in a rack using steel wires or the like. Therefore, the expansion of functions is effectively achieved.

Although the storage container for the vanity has been described in the embodiments, it goes without saying that the storage container of the present invention can be used for kitchen cabinets, mirror stands, and other furniture.

[Effect of device]

According to the present invention, by providing the bulging portion and forming the groove corresponding to the bulging portion, the partition plate can be stably held without increasing the thickness of the entire main body of the storage container.

Also, by hanging the flange on the wire of the frame of the rack and sliding it into contact with the wire using the bulge, the contact resistance between the wire and the wire is reduced and the storage container can be framed with a light touch. It can be moved along with, improving usability. Further, since only the bulging portion comes into contact with the wire, the damage range of the outer surface of the storage container is reduced and the appearance is kept good.
