Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a container.

"Prior Art" As a conventional container, there is a box type container in which a peripheral wall is erected from the peripheral edge of a rectangular bottom wall. Also, considering that it will occupy less space when stacked, notches are formed at the upper ends of both left and right side walls, and when the containers are stacked alternately, the upper container bottom can be inserted into each notch. It is also known to be composed of.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The object of the present invention is to provide a container which is extremely suitable for transportation and storage because it occupies less space when stacked as compared with a conventional container of this type. .

"Means for Solving the Problem" The peripheral wall 3 is erected from the peripheral edge of the rectangular bottom wall 2, and the peripheral wall 3
Is a box-shaped container 1 in which the widths of the left and right side walls 6 and 7 are longer than the widths of the front and rear side walls 4 and 5, and the notches 8 and 8 are formed at the upper ends of the left and right side walls 6 and 7, respectively. At the same time, from the lower part of the right side wall 7 to the lower part of the left side wall 6 through the bottom wall 2, two kerfs 11, 11 having the same height are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of containers having the same shape and the same size are provided. The bottom portion 10 of the upper container 1B can be inserted into the notches 8 and 8 of the lower container 1A when stacked alternately, and the lower container 1A can be inserted into the notches 11 and 11 of the upper container 1B. The left and right side wall portions 6a, 7a below the cutout portion are configured to be fittable.

[Operation] As shown in FIG. 3, when the containers are stacked alternately, the bottom 10 of the upper container 1B is inserted into the notches 8 and 8 provided at the upper ends of the left and right side walls 6 and 7 of the lower container 1A. From the bottom of the right side wall 7 of the container 1B further above to the bottom wall 2
Through the two cut grooves 11 provided at the same height to the lower part of the left side wall 6, the lower left and right side wall portions 6a and 7a of the cutout portion of the lower container 1A are fitted respectively, so that compact stacking can be performed.

"Embodiment" In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a container, and the container 1 is a box type in which a peripheral wall 3 is erected from the peripheral edge of a rectangular bottom wall 2, and front and rear side walls 4 of the peripheral wall 3 The width of the left and right side walls 6, 7 is made longer than the width of 5, 5 to form a planar rectangular shape.

Recessed notches 8 and 8 are formed at the upper ends of the left and right side walls 6 and 7, respectively. The width of each notch 8,8 is the left and right side walls of the container 1.
The width between 6 and 7 (including the width of ribs 9 etc., if present) is configured to be approximately the same as or slightly wider than that, and the bottom of the upper container 1 when the containers are stacked alternately.
Configure so that 10 can be inserted.

Two kerfs 11, 11 of the same height are provided in parallel from the lower part of the right side wall 7 to the lower part of the left side wall 6 through the bottom wall 2. The width of each kerf 11, 11 is approximately equal to or slightly larger than the width of the upper surface of the left and right side wall portions 6a, 7a below the notch, and the width between each kerf is substantially equal to or slightly equal to the width between the left and right side walls. When the containers are narrowed and stacked alternately, the left and right side wall portions of the lower cutout portion of the lower container can be fitted into the cut grooves of the upper container.

Fig. 3 is a stack of the above-mentioned containers staggered alternately, and the cutouts 8 and 8 of the lower container 1A are shown in Fig. 3.
Insert the bottom portion 10 of the upper container 1B into the inside, and insert the lower left and right side wall portions 6a and 7a of the cutout portion of the lower container 1B into the cut grooves 11 and 11 of the upper container 1A, and stack them alternately. is there.

In the present invention, the depth of each notch and the height of each kerf can be arbitrarily selected, but if the above depth and height are set to 1/4 of the height of each container, many containers are stacked. At this time, for example, a part of the bottom wall of the third container from the bottom is placed on the uppermost surface of the bottom container peripheral wall, and similarly, from the bottom
The bottom wall of the fourth container from the bottom is partially placed on the top of the peripheral wall of the th container, and every other part of the bottom wall is placed on the top of the peripheral wall. Will become even more stable.

"Effect of the device" The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and when the notches and the kerfs are provided and a plurality of containers having the same shape and the same size are stacked alternately, the bottom part of the upper container is It can be inserted into each notch of the container, and the lower left and right side wall parts of the notch of the lower container can be inserted into the notches of the upper container, so when the containers are stacked alternately. , The bottom of the upper container fits into the notch of the lower container to create an overlapping occupied space, and the kerf of the upper container fits to the lower left and right side wall parts of the notch of the lower container. Since the occupied space overlapping each other is further increased, the occupied space can be significantly reduced as compared with the normal stacking. For example, if the depth of the kerf is appropriately selected, the first
Stacking is also possible with a large reduction in occupied space such that the upper surface of the container of the third tier and the lower surface of the container of the third tier contact.

In addition, the stacked containers are firmly fixed to each other and there is no risk that the stack will collapse.
