Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adjust intervals of plane parts so as to house plate bodies having various sizes by erectly arranging two plane parts having parts curving from end walls on a square bottom, attaching side wall parts to respective side end parts of the curved parts, and forming fitting grooves to which ends of housing plate bodies are to be fitted on the inner faces of the plane parts. SOLUTION: Plane parts 12 extend in parallel along one side of a square bottom 1. Its both ends have wall parts 11 and curved parts 13 which curve rectangularly from these ends are extended. On the plane parts 12 or on the inner faces of the plane parts 12 and the end wall parts 11, fitting grooves 15 in which ends of plate bodies to be housed in a container are provided. At opposite end parts of the curved parts 13 of the plane parts 12, a pair of side wall parts 18 are arranged oppositely. The side wall parts 18 are attached to the end parts of the curved parts 13 with bolts and nuts. Thus, as the plane parts 12 and the side wall parts 18 are attached by the separate members, when the width of the side wall part 18 is properly selected, intervals of the opposite two plane parts 12 can be adjusted, so that the plate bodies having various sizes can be housed.

The rib 58 formed on the inner side of the end rib 40
The lid 53 can be fixed to the plate transporting container by locking the lid 53.

According to the present invention, the flat portion and the rectangular bottom portion, which are the relatively large members, in which the end wall portion and the bent portion are integrated, are molded by one mold, and the rectangular shape is formed according to the size of the plate to be stored. It is possible to set the space between the two flat parts installed on the bottom part and to install them. In some cases, holes for attachment can be provided in the rectangular bottom portion in advance for easy attachment when the end wall portion, the bent portion, and the flat portion are moved. If a hole that is opened without a flat surface or the like being installed is closed with a rubber packing or the like, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering.

Further, since the flat surface portion and the rectangular bottom portion, in which the end wall portion and the bent portion are integrated, can be produced by one die respectively, it is not necessary to make each die according to the size of the plate body. It has a merit that it saves the mold, labor saving, and there is no extra capital investment, and the factory space is small.

[0028]

According to the present invention, since the flat surface portion and the side wall portion are attached by separate members, if the width dimension of the side wall portion is appropriately selected, the distance between the two flat surface portions facing each other on the rectangular bottom portion is increased. It is possible to accommodate the plate bodies of various sizes in the container for transporting the plate bodies. Further, even if the flat portion and the rectangular bottom portion, which are the relatively large members, in which the end wall portion and the bent portion are integrated, are molded by one mold, respectively, plate bodies of various sizes can be accommodated. Therefore, it saves the mold,
This will result in more efficient production equipment and lower costs.
