[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a dehumidifying agent storage container, and more particularly to a dehumidifying agent storage container suitable for a particularly narrow place such as a push-in or under the cage of a push-in. is there.

[Conventional technology]

When pushing in or removing moisture in clothes chests or shoe boxes with a dehumidifying agent such as calcium chloride, conventionally, for example, the upper surface of a cylindrical or polygonal container is opened, and the dehumidifying agent is placed inside the container, for example, in a mesh shape. The partition member is stored so as to float from the bottom surface, and the water absorbed thereby is collected at the bottom of the container.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, conventional containers are bulky because they are cylindrical or polygonal and are placed upright, and it is necessary to retract the stored items each time they are set in the push-in or inside the shoe box or taken out. There is. In particular, when taking out the container, sufficient care must be taken in handling it so as not to tip it over. In addition, this kind of container is generally placed in a deep corner such as a push-in, but such a placement causes a dead space, and there is a drawback that it is generally difficult to use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a dehumidifying agent storage container which is convenient to be placed in a narrow space such as a push-in or under the cage of a push-in.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a dehumidifying agent storage container comprising a flat-bottomed shallow box having a dehumidifying agent insertion window at a predetermined portion of the upper surface, and the box can be connected to each other. On one side of the two opposite sides of the body, there is formed a first seat having a stepped portion having a substantially L-shaped cross section by notching the upper surface side to a predetermined depth, and the other side. A second receiving seat is formed in which the lower surface side is cut out so as to complementarily overlap the first receiving seat with each box having the same height, and the first receiving seat is formed. One of the seat and the second receiving seat is provided with an engagement projection, and the other is provided with an engagement recess for mating with the engagement projection.

According to the above configuration, since the dehumidifying agent storage container is composed of a flat box with a shallow bottom, it can be placed in a narrow space, such as under the cage of a closet, and in that case, the size of the installation site, etc. Depending on the situation, a plurality of them can be easily connected and used. Since the first receiving seat and the second receiving seat are formed so as to complementarily overlap each other, even if the dehumidifying agent storage containers are connected, the dehumidifying agent storage containers are arranged in the same height orderly. be able to.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 5 show a dehumidifying agent storage container 1 according to the present invention, and FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a dehumidifying body 10 stored in the container 1.

In this embodiment, the dehumidifying agent storage container 1 is provided with a box 2 made of a water resistant material (synthetic resin) formed in a flat shape with a shallow bottom. That is, the box body 2 has a substantially flat bottom surface 2a, a side surface 2b that is integrally raised from a peripheral edge of the bottom surface 2a to a predetermined height, and an upper surface that is continuous with the upper edge of the side surface 2b. 2c, and a dehumidifying agent insertion window 3 is formed in the upper surface 2c.

The dimensions of the dehumidifying agent storage container 1 according to this embodiment are 27 cm in width (horizontal direction in FIG. 1), 8 cm in width (vertical direction in FIG. 1),
The depth is 2.3 cm, and both sides 4a, 4b facing each other in the length direction.
Has an arc shape with a predetermined curvature. Two dehumidifying agent insertion windows 3 are provided symmetrically.

One side 4a of the opposite sides 4a, 4b is the other side of the same container 1 that is adjacent to this container 1.
A receiving seat 5b for overlapping the 4b from above is formed, and the receiving seat 5b is provided with an engaging projection 5a which is one component of the connecting means. On the other hand, the other side 4b
In the second container, the same container 1 arranged adjacent to the container 1 has the same height, and one side 4a thereof is cut out at the lower surface side so as to complementarily overlap from below. The receiving seat 6 is provided with an engaging recess 6a which is the other component of the connecting means. Unlike this embodiment, a recess may be formed on the side of the seat 5b and a protrusion may be provided on the side of the seat 6b.

Therefore, according to this container 1, as shown in FIG. 5, it is necessary for the containers 1 to have the same height by engaging the protrusions 5a with the recesses 6a of the partner container 1 which is adjacently arranged. It can be connected several times, especially when it is placed under the cage child laid in the closet, it can be arranged even further inside.

Next, the dehumidifying body 10 stored in this container 1 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the dehumidifying body 10 has a double bag structure including an outer bag 11 and an inner bag 12 housed in the outer bag 11 preferably in a loosely fitted state. Has become. The outer bag 11 is partially made of a moisture-permeable and water-impermeable porous film 13, and a water-impermeable, preferably transparent film 14 is used for the rest.

In this embodiment, the inner bag 12 is made of a water-permeable nonwoven fabric, and its size is such that a sufficient space is formed between the inner bag 12 and the outer bag 11. Polyester, polypropylene, polyamide and the like can be used as the material of the non-woven fabric, but in this embodiment, a two-layer non-woven fabric of polyester and polypropylene is used. That is, it has both the strength of polyester and the excellent heat sealability of polypropylene. In this inner bag 12, a dehumidifying agent,
For example, calcium chloride 15 is stored, and then the inner bag
12 is closed by heat sealing.

As described above, in the dehumidifying body 10, since the calcium chloride 15 is contained in the inner bag 12, even when needle-like crystals are generated due to the external environment such as deliquescent or humidity or temperature, As a result, the outer bag 11 is not broken, and the dehumidified water is unlikely to leak. Further, water is mainly stored between the outer bag 11 and the inner bag 12, but it is possible to see the state of the water pool, that is, the progress of dehumidification, through the transparent film 14, and the dehumidifier 10 at an appropriate time.
Can be replaced. The inner bag 12 may be formed of a film or fiber having micropores.

In this example, the porous film used for the outer bag 11
13 is a two-layer film composed of a porous polyethylene film and a porous ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film, so that it can withstand the internal pressure when the inside of the outer bag 11 is filled with water or the pressure applied from the outside. Therefore, the thickness is preferably 100 to 200 μm. A single film of porous polyethylene may be used as long as the predetermined strength is satisfied. On the other hand, although a two-layer film of polyamide and polyethylene is used as the transparent film 14, another film may be used as long as it is transparent. Furthermore, the film 14 may be opaque.

In this case, the porous film 13 extends in a strip shape along the axis of the central portion of the outer bag 11, and the width of the outer bag 11 is made flat so that the water in the outer bag 11 can be easily seen. In this case, the width is smaller than the width of the upper surface or the lower surface. Further, the porous film 13 and the transparent film 14 are joined by heat sealing, but the edge 13a of the porous film 13 and the edge 14a of the transparent film 14 to be heat sealed are the outer bag 11 and the outer bag 11.
Are heat-sealed in a state of being overlapped with each other along the circumferential direction.

Therefore, according to this heat seal, when the internal pressure is increased by water or the external pressure is applied, the force in the shearing direction is applied to the seal portion instead of the force in the cleavage direction, and therefore the peeling does not occur easily. . After accommodating the inner bag 12 in the outer bag 11, both ends 11a, 11a of the outer bag 11 are heat-sealed, whereby the inner bag 12 is enclosed in the outer bag 11.

The dehumidifying body 10 is put into the container 1 through the dehumidifying agent insertion window 3. In this embodiment, a dehumidifying body containing a dehumidifying agent in a bag is used. However, the dehumidifying agent is not limited to this, and in some cases, the dehumidifying agent may be put directly in the container 1. .

Although the container 1 is the flat box body 2 in the above-described embodiment, the invention is not limited to this, and may have, for example, a rectangular tube shape or a cylindrical shape.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the container itself is formed as a flat box having a shallow bottom, and the two sides facing each other can be easily connected to each other with the same height. Since the connecting means, that is, the male and female fitting means including the complementary first and second seats and the engaging projections and the engaging recesses formed on the respective seats are provided, for example, The dehumidifying agent container can be appropriately connected and installed in a narrow space such as under a cage laid in a closet or the like according to its size.
