Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an article storage device used for storing and storing a large number of articles or transporting the articles to a predetermined place.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an article storage tool of this type, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-89149, for example.
That is, a pair of left and right side frames and a rear frame located between the rear portions of the both frames are detachably provided on the bogie main body. By inserting the lower ends of the frame members into the frame insertion holes formed on both sides of the bogie body, the frame members are mounted on the bogie body, and the lower ends of the rear frame members are formed at the rear portion of the bogie body. The rear frame is mounted on the bogie main body by inserting the rear frame into the frame main body insertion hole, whereby the three sides of both sides and the rear surface are surrounded by the three frame bodies on the bogie main body. An article storage space is formed.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional type, when assembling the article storage device, three frames are required. Of these, both sides and the rear frame have different dimensions. , Two types of frames having different dimensions are required. That is, two of the three frames have the same dimensions,
Since the remaining one has different dimensions, production, handling and storage of these frames become complicated, and during assembly work,
Incorrectly trying to attach the rear frame to the side of the bogie body,
Or it was easy to make an error such as trying to attach the side frame to the rear of the bogie body by mistake.

An object of the present invention is to provide an article storage device that can easily manufacture, handle, and store a plurality of frames surrounding at least three sides.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a bottom body on which articles can be placed is provided with a frame surrounding at least three sides,
The frame body is divided into one divided frame body and the other divided frame body detachably attached to the bottom body from a central portion between a pair of opposing surfaces, and the two divided frame bodies have the same dimensions. It is formed in.

[0006] According to this, the article storage device is assembled by attaching one of the divided frames and the other divided frame to the bottom, respectively, and at least three sides of the bottom are surrounded by the two divided frames. . In addition, the article storage device is disassembled by removing the two divided frames from the bottom. Here, since the one divided frame and the other divided frame are formed to have the same size, manufacture, handling, and storage of the divided frame can be easily performed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, each of the divided frame members is detachably attached to the bottom body and is horizontally rotatable so as to close a surface between one end of the fixed frame member and the fixed frame member facing each other. The two movable frames are fixed to the bottom by fixing means at positions where the surfaces between the one ends of the fixed frames are closed.

According to this, by fixing both movable frames to the bottom by the fixing means, both movable frames close the surface between one ends of both fixed frames, and thus at least Three sides are surrounded by both divided frames. Also, by releasing the fixing means, removing the fixed frame from the bottom body, and rotating the movable frame toward the fixed frame, the divided frame can be folded compactly and the storage space for the divided frame can be reduced. I can do it.

Further, in one of the divided frames, the direction of the movable frame relative to the fixed frame is opposite, but the movable frame is rotated to move the movable frame with respect to the fixed frame. By changing the orientation of the body, it is possible to form both of one of the divided frames and the other of the divided frames, so that one type of divided frame is commonly used for one divided frame and the other. It can be used for a divided frame.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the two movable frames are provided with:
A connecting device for connecting the two movable frames at a position where the surface between the one ends of the two fixed frames is closed is provided. According to this, since the two movable frames closing the surface between the one ends of both the fixed frames are connected by the connecting device,
Even when the two movable frames are pressed by an article or the like stored in the article storage device, the two movable frames do not rotate carelessly, and therefore, the surface between the one ends of the two fixed frames is improper. It is possible to prevent a trouble such as being easily opened.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of insertion holes into which the lower end of the fixed frame is inserted from above and a plurality of positioning pins projecting downward are provided on the bottom body, and the divided frame is removed. When the plurality of bottoms are stacked vertically, a plurality of positioning pins of the upper bottom are inserted into the insertion holes of the lower bottom from above.

According to this, by inserting the lower end of the fixed frame into the insertion hole, both divided frames can be attached to the bottom. In addition, by removing the lower end of the fixed frame from the insertion hole, the article storage device can be disassembled into the two divided frames and the bottom. Thereafter, the plurality of bottom bodies can be stacked vertically and stored, and at this time, since the plurality of positioning pins of the upper bottom body are inserted from above into the insertion holes of the lower bottom body, the plurality of bottom bodies are stacked. Further, it is possible to prevent the plurality of bottom bodies from shifting in the horizontal direction. Thus, at the time of assembling, the lower end of the fixed frame body is inserted using the insertion hole, and at the time of stacking, the positioning pin is inserted using the insertion hole, so that at the time of assembly and at the time of stacking. The above-mentioned insertion hole can be shared by the above.
