Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage container made of sheet metal, and more particularly to a storage container with a door that has a plurality of upper and lower storage chambers for storing kitchen utensils therein.

The present invention improves the rigidity of the sheet metal storage container as described above, and also shares a part of the shaft supporting member for pivotally supporting the upper and lower doors attached to the upper and lower storage chambers of the storage container. The purpose of this is to reduce the number of parts.

Hereinafter, the storage container of the present invention will be explained using the illustrated storage container with a rice bin as an example. The storage container of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has two upper and lower storage chambers ( It is composed of a storage container unit 1 having an upper chamber 8 and a lower chamber 9) and a rice bin unit 31 attached to the lower part of the storage container unit 1, and its overall structure is vertical.

The storage container main body 2 is formed by attaching a top plate 4 and a bottom plate 5 to a peripheral wall plate 3 having a U-shaped cross section and having an opening 15 on the front surface.

As shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral wall plate 3 has both side plates 51, 51 and a rear plate 52, and is formed by bending a sheet metal.

This peripheral wall plate 3 has front ends of both side plates 51.51 bent inward in a U-shape to form a bent front end piece 23.23 having a narrow front piece 53 and an inwardly bent piece 24.

At the upper end of the front opening 15 of the peripheral wall plate 3, a horizontal member 6 serving as an upper reinforcing member is installed in the lateral direction between the bent front end pieces 23, 23 on both sides.

A horizontal partition plate 7 is disposed inside the storage container main body 2, and the horizontal partition plate 7 divides the inside of the storage container main body 2 into two storage chambers, an upper chamber 8 and a lower chamber 9.

This horizontal partition plate 7 is a receiving metal fitting 1 formed on the inner surface of the side peripheral plate 3.
It is placed on 3.

A lower opening of the storage container body 2 is closed by a bottom plate 5.

The front edges of these horizontal partition plates 7 and bottom plate 5 are installed so as to straddle between the two front end pieces 23 and 23 of the opening of the peripheral wall plate 3, and each serves as a middle reinforcing member for increasing the rigidity of the storage container body 2. Alternatively, it acts as a lower reinforcing member.

In front of the upper chamber 8 and lower chamber 9, there are three shaft supporting members 16,
17 and 18, the upper door 10 and the lower door 11 are pivotally connected to each other so that they can pivot in the horizontal direction.

These three shaft support members 16, 17, and 18 are arranged coaxially in the vertical direction on one side (right side) of the front surface 6a of the horizontal member 6, the front surface 7a of the horizontal partition plate 7, and the front surface 5a of the bottom plate 5, respectively. are fixed in line.

Further, each shaft support member has a downward shaft support pin 19 on its upper shaft support member 16, and upward and downward shaft support pins 20a and 20b on its intermediate shaft support member 17, respectively. 18 are respectively formed with upward pivot pins 21, and the upper door 10 is pivotally connected by the downward pivot pin 19 of the upper pivot support member 16 and the upward pivot pin 20a of the intermediate pivot support member 17. The lower door 1
1 is pivotally connected.

Bearings 22, 22, . . ., into which the respective pivot pins 19, 20a, 20b, 21 are fitted, are attached to one end of each of the upper and lower surfaces of the upper door 10 and the lower door 11.

The upper chamber 8 and lower chamber 9 each have an appropriate number of shelf boards 12.12.
．． 12 are arranged.

Each shelf board 12 has a receiving metal fitting 1 formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall board 3.
4, 14. It is removably mounted on 14.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bent front end pieces 23, 23 of the peripheral wall plate 3 are each bent inwards into a square shape (reference numeral 24, 24), and the back side of the bent front end pieces 23, 23 has a longitudinal direction. In the illustrated embodiment, cut grooves 26.26 are formed near both ends of the front side of the horizontal partition plate 7, and the cut grooves 26.26 are bent to form a long small space 25.25 on the front end piece 23. .23
By fitting the inner bent pieces 24 and 24 of the horizontal partition plate 7, both front corners 27 and 27 of the small space 2
5.25, respectively.

In this way, both front corners 27.27 of the horizontal partition plate 7 create a small space 25.25 at the location where the horizontal partition plate 7 is disposed.
are closed, and small-volume articles placed on the horizontal partition plate 7 will not fall from there.

In the conventional storage container of this type, as shown in FIG. 5, a square cutout 28 is formed in the front corner of the horizontal partition plate 7 to fit into the inwardly bent piece 24 of the front edge 23 of the side plate. Ori,
In this case, a hole 29 is formed between the front corner of the horizontal partition 7 and the small space 25 on the back side of the bent front end piece 23, and a small volume article placed on the horizontal partition plate 7 is inserted into the hole. Sometimes it falls from 29.

Note that the bottom plate 5 is also formed with cut grooves 30 and 30 similar to the cut grooves 26 of the horizontal partition plate 7 near the front edge of the bottom plate, and the cut grooves 30 and 30 of the bottom plate 5 are also formed near the front edge of the new song front end piece 23.
It fits into the inner bent piece 24 of.

The rice bin unit 31 has a funnel-shaped partition plate 33 disposed inside a rice bin body 32 having an opening 35 at the top, forms an unaccommodated chamber 34 above the partition plate 33, and further includes a rice bin unit 31 in which rice in the unaccommodated chamber 34 is disposed. A rice measuring device 37 and a pedestal 39 for a wood receiver 40 are arranged below the discharge port 36.

A rice inlet 43, a window hole 44 for the operating lever 38 of the rice measuring device 37, and a drawer opening 45 for the wooden receiver 40 are formed on the front surface 41 of the rice bin body 32 from above.

The storage container unit 1 is mounted and fixed on the top of the rice container unit 31, and the upper opening 35 of the rice container unit 31 is closed by the bottom plate 5 of the storage container unit 1.

Next, to explain the effect of the present invention, the storage container of the present invention has the front end of each side plate 51 bent inwardly into a single shape at each front edge of the peripheral wall plate 3 made of sheet metal and having a U-shaped cross section. By forming the bent front end pieces 23, 23 each having a narrow front piece 53 and an inner bent piece 24, the rigidity of the peripheral wall plate opening is increased, and at the same time, the front opening 15 of the peripheral wall plate 3 is Since the reinforcing members 6, 7.5 are installed in each of the lower stages so as to straddle between the folding front end pieces 23, 23, the overall rigidity can be increased.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the door shaft support members are attached to the reinforcing members of the upper, middle, and lower stages, which have relatively high strength, so that the door can be firmly supported.

Furthermore, according to the storage container of the present invention, each of the upper and lower doors 10.
Since a part of the shaft support members 16, 17, and 18 (shaft support member 17) for pivotally mounting the shaft support member 11 is shared, the number of shaft support members can be reduced and the number of installation steps for the shaft support member can be reduced. It has the effect of being able to.
