DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition member and a partition structure, and more particularly to a partition member and a partition structure capable of partitioning a receiving space of a container such as a drawer of a desk or a tray into a plurality of sections.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various trays which can be used by being arranged in a drawer of a desk are commercially available. Some trays of this kind are integrally provided with partitions that can appropriately sort and store various stationery such as writing tools and erasers. However, there are cases where it is desired to change the partition position depending on an object to be stored. For this reason, there is an apparatus in which a storage space in a tray is arbitrarily partitioned using a partition member made of a plate member or the like.

[0003] FIG. 4 shows a conventional partition structure in which a storage space can be partitioned into appropriate sections by using a partition material. In this figure, a tray 50 molded using a resin material is provided with an open upper end, and an engagement groove 53 formed by two ribs is formed on the inner surface side of the peripheral wall 51 of the tray 50. Are arranged relative to each other. Engagement groove 53
Can be inserted from above into a partition member 55 made of a plate-like resin plate, and the partition member 55 can be set at a position shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
This allows the inside of the tray 50 to be partitioned into a plurality of sections as required by the user.

[0004]

However, since the partitioning member 55 is formed of a resin material, there is a case where the partitioning member 55 does not fit into the engagement groove 53 due to an error such as a sink mark which may occur at the time of molding. Provoke. Therefore, in order to ensure that the partition member 55 can be fitted and mounted in the engagement groove 53, the left and right width of the partition member is made somewhat shorter than the length between the opposing engagement grooves 53, and The thickness of the edge of 55 must be set smaller than the groove width of the engagement groove 53. As a result, in a state where the partition member 55 is fitted between the engagement grooves 53, the partition member 55 has a certain play, and this causes the partition member 55 to rattle,
It causes the inconvenience of floating.

[0005] Considering a practical manner of accommodation in the tray 50, the writing implement is often accommodated in such a state that the core of the writing implement contacts the surface of the partition member 55. In this case, since the partition member 55 is a hard molded product, there is another disadvantage that the core of the writing instrument is easily broken.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the inconvenience of the prior art, and has an object to fix the partition material firmly when the partition material is mounted in the container. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a partition member and a partition structure that can prevent damage to an object to be accommodated and can expand the allowable range of molding accuracy.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a partition member for partitioning a container having a predetermined accommodation space into a plurality of sections, the partition member being capable of engaging with a peripheral wall portion of the container. A pair of engaging members are provided, and the engaging members are connected to each other by an extendable partition member. According to this configuration, since the partition surface member can expand and contract, the distance between the pair of engaging members can be adjusted, and even if the width of the container to which the partition member is to be mounted is variously different, the partition member can be used. The versatility of applying can be enhanced. Further, when the partitioning material is applied to a tray for storing a writing implement or the like, the pen tip can be protected by storing the writing implement at a position where the core of the writing implement comes into contact with the partition surface member.

Further, the partition structure according to the present invention comprises a container formed by connecting a peripheral wall from a peripheral edge of a bottom wall, and a partition member disposed between the relative surfaces of the peripheral wall to partition the container into a plurality of sections. The partition member is constituted by a pair of engagement pins that can be engaged with the inner surface portion of the peripheral wall, and an extendable partition surface member that interconnects the engagement pins. I have.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The partitioning surface member in the partitioning structure is provided with a length shorter than the length between the relative surfaces of the peripheral wall, and when the engaging pin is at the mounting position engaged with the inner surface portion of the peripheral wall. It is preferable to provide the partition surface member so as to be stretched. Accordingly, the partition member is in a state of being stretched between the relative surfaces of the peripheral walls, and the posture of the partition member can be stably maintained.

An engaging groove having a slit through which the partition member can pass is formed in the inner surface of the peripheral wall, and the engaging groove is provided with a width that allows the engaging pin to be loosely inserted. Is preferably employed. With this configuration, the operation of inserting and removing the engagement pin into and out of the engagement groove becomes extremely easy, and the partition member is stretched, so that the partition pins approach each other. Will be applied, the engaging pin is pressed against the inner surface portion of the engaging groove even if the engaging pin has a relative dimension having play in the engaging groove, and the engaging pin is supported without rattling, and In addition, there is no risk of accidentally dropping upward. Moreover, in this configuration, strictness of dimensional accuracy between members is not required.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a partitioning device according to this embodiment. In this figure, a tray 10 as a container is configured as an integrally molded product that is injection molded using an appropriate resin material. The tray 10 is provided in an open-top shape having a bottom wall 11 having a substantially rectangular planar shape and a peripheral wall 12 continuously connected upward from a peripheral edge of the bottom wall 11. Here, engaging grooves 16 for mounting the partition members 15 are integrally formed at predetermined intervals on opposite inner surface portions of the peripheral wall 12 having a long width.

As shown in FIG. 3, the engagement groove 16 is formed by a pair of claw pieces 16A, 16A projecting in a direction in which the inner surface of the peripheral wall 12 is partially curved.
Slits 16B extending in the vertical direction are formed by slightly separating the tips of the claw pieces 16A, 16A.

The partition member 15 is composed of a pair of engagement pins 20 forming an engagement member, and a film or sheet-shaped partition surface member 21 connecting these engagement pins 20 to each other. The engagement pin 20 has a length substantially corresponding to the length of the engagement groove 16 in the vertical direction.
The outer diameter is set larger than the opening width of the slit 16 </ b> B in the engagement groove 16 and smaller than the inner diameter of the engagement groove 16. More specifically, the engagement pins 20 are provided in a relative dimension having a so-called play in the engagement grooves 16 in a state where the engagement pins 20 are located in the engagement grooves 16.

In the present embodiment, the partition surface member 21 is formed using a stretchable molding material such as chloroprene rubber or silicone, and as shown in FIG. 2, a soft member having flexibility as a whole. It is formed as. The left and right length of the partition surface member 21 is provided shorter than the length between the relative surfaces of the peripheral wall 12 where the engagement groove 16 is formed. Here, both end edges of the partition surface member 21 are
Although it is welded or adhered along the 0 axis, it can be integrally formed in a predetermined molding die. Note that the partition surface member 21 only needs to have a thickness that does not easily break.

When the partition member 15 is to be mounted between the engagement grooves 16, each of the engagement pins 20 is pinched and held, and their lower ends are fitted on the engagement grooves 16. At this time, the partition member 2
Since the left and right lengths of 1 are set to be short as described above, the alignment is performed while pulling the engagement pins 20 apart from each other. Thereafter, by inserting the engagement pin 20 into the engagement groove 16 from the lower end of the engagement pin 20, as shown in FIG.
It can be mounted in a manner of being bridged between 16 spaces. At this time, since the partition surface member 21 is pulled in the left-right direction by the respective engagement pins 20, the engagement pins 20 are seated on the tip inner surface of the claw pieces 16A forming the engagement grooves 16. Position, the inner peripheral surface portion of the claw piece 16A and the engaging pin 2
Thus, a pressure-contact state with strong frictional resistance is obtained between the outer peripheral surface portion and the outer peripheral surface portion.

The length of the engaging pin 20 in the axial direction may be slightly longer than the length of the engaging groove 16 in the vertical direction.
If the upper end of the projection is protruded, it is easy to pull out the engagement pin 20 in order to remove the partition member 15. Also,
Instead, an appropriate flange-shaped portion or the like may be provided at the upper end of the engagement pin 20 to facilitate the extraction of the engagement pin 20.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the partition member 15 is applied to a tray suitable for being housed in a drawer or the like has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It can be applied to various containers such as a drawer, a seal or a storage box for a rubber stamp.

Further, the shape corresponding to the engaging pin 20 is formed on the inner surface side of the peripheral wall 12 of the container 10 while the shape corresponding to the engaging groove 16 is replaced by the partition member 15. The same operation as described above can be obtained.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the extendable partition member is adopted, the distance between the engaging members integrated with the partition member can be adjusted, and the partition member can be applied even if the width of the container to which the partition member is to be mounted is variously different. , Is given. In addition, when the partition member is applied to a tray for storing a writing instrument or the like, the pen tip can be protected by accommodating the writing instrument at a position where the core of the writing instrument contacts the partition surface member.

The partition surface member is provided with a length shorter than the length between the relative surfaces of the peripheral wall on which the partition material is mounted, and extends when the engaging pin engages with the inner surface of the peripheral wall. With such a configuration, the partition surface member is located in a state where tension is exerted between the relative surfaces of the peripheral walls, and the partition shape by the partition surface member can be stably maintained.

Further, since the partition member engaging structure adopts a configuration in which the engaging pin is inserted into the engaging groove provided with the slit, the partition member can be inserted simply by inserting the engaging pin into the engaging groove. Mounting can be performed, and the work can be made extremely easy. Further, in the stretched state of the partition surface member, an action occurs in which the engaging pins try to approach each other, and even if the engaging pins have a relative dimension having a play in the engaging groove, the engaging pin has an inner surface portion. As a result, the engaging pin does not rise from the engaging groove unless an external force for extracting the partition member is applied. In addition, with this configuration, strict relative dimensional accuracy between the engaging pin and the engaging groove is not required, and inconvenience such as molding failure hardly causes a problem.

Further, since the partition surface member is formed of a stretchable material, the partition member can be stored in a rolled state, and if the appropriate cylinder is easily used as a storage container, it can be stored in the storage container. This makes it possible to save the space when the partition material is not used in a space-saving manner.
