Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an article storage case that is used to store, transport, and preserve articles, and can also be used as a display case.

Conventional article storage cases have an external shape such as a rectangular parallelepiped or circle, and are divided into a main body and a lid with a square or circular cross section.The case is used to display stored items. This has been done either by taking it out of the case and placing it on the case, or by making the case a shallow structure and removing the lid. In the former case, the item has to be taken out of the case once and has the disadvantage that the state placed on the case is unstable.In the latter case, the lid becomes an obstruction and it is difficult to secure the item stored in the case. Since only the bottom surface of the main body can be used, the shape and number of items that can be stored are greatly limited.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of providing an article storage case that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks and can be easily used for displaying stored items.

The present invention is a box whose closed outer shape has a quadrilateral cross section and has a storage space for goods inside, and the quadrilateral of the cross section has an apex angle equally divided by a diagonal line and an interior angle opposite to the diagonal line. the box has two apex angles whose sum is 180° or more, the box is divided by the plane formed by the diagonal, and the two parts are divided equally by the diagonal on the opposite side of the apex angle. The display article storage case is connected by a ridgeline, the connection has a hinge function, and can be rotated and opened until at least both sides sandwiching the apex angle are in contact with each other on one plane.

In other words, the display article storage case of the present invention is
By having a structure in which the closed outer shape forms a box with a quadrilateral cross section and has a storage space for items inside, it is excellent in stabilization when placed, and the box has a structure in which the box has a corner formed by a diagonal line of the quadrilateral cross section. Due to the configuration in which the two divided bodies are hingedly connected at the ridge line on one end side of the diagonal line, the stored articles can be easily seen by opening both the divided bodies at the center of the hinge, Not only can articles be stored and taken out easily, but both the divided bodies can function equally well in storing articles, and furthermore, the quadrilateral cross section can be equally divided by the diagonal The internal angle between the apex angle and the two diagonal angles is 180
The shape has two apex angles that are equal to or more than 2 degrees, and the hinge connection of the two divided bodies is made at the ridgeline on the opposite side of the apex angle equally divided by the diagonal line. Since the surfaces that sandwich the apex angles equally divided by the diagonal line can be opened without interference until they are lined up on one plane, the open state can be stably placed on a flat surface and the open state Coupled with the above-mentioned feature of making it easy to see the stored items, it has the excellent effect of being easily usable as a stable display case for stored items.

To explain the present invention based on the drawings, Figure 1A,
B and C are a front view, a left side view, and a right side view showing an example of the present invention in which the closed outer shape is a rectangular parallelepiped box. In the case of a rectangular parallelepiped, all the apex angles of a cross-sectional quadrilateral are right angles, so in order to have apex angles that are equally divided by diagonals, the quadrilateral must be a square, and A in Figure 1 is that. The surface 1 formed by the diagonal lines that divide the rectangular parallelepiped is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, but can also be obtained by diagonal lines rotated by 90 degrees. 2,
3 are divided bodies, one of which serves as the case body and the other with the lid. Reference numeral 4 is a connecting portion that connects the divided bodies 2 and 3 and has a hinge function. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hanging lid provided on the divided body 2, which is attached to and detached from the locking body provided on the divided body 3 to constitute a locking tool. In this case, of course, since the apex angles at both ends of the diagonal line are both apex angles that are equally divided, there is no problem even if the positions of the connecting portion and the locking tool are exchanged. In the embodiment of FIG. 1A, surfaces 6 and 7 are the surfaces 6 and 7 that sandwich the equally divided apex angle.

FIGS. 2D and 2E are a front view and a right side view showing the open state used as a display stand. Unlock the hanging lid 5 and separate the divided bodies 2 and 3 around the hinge 4.
If the split bodies 2 and 3 are opened as shown in FIG. 2D until their surfaces 6 and 7 touch one plane, the divided bodies 2 and 3 can be used as a display case back to back. Split body 2,
3 has an internal space adapted to accommodate an article 8, an example of which is shown in FIG. 2E in the case where the article 8 is a camera and its accessories. The camera is housed on the side of the divided body 3, and is fixed to the side of the surface 7 via the cushion material 10 by the elastic band 9, and on the left side.
On the right is the inner protruding wall 11, 11' on the vertical side of the case.
The case is supported by cushion members 10' and 10'' to prevent it from shaking inside the case.In other words, in the case of the present invention, all surfaces are supported to stabilize the stored items. Reference numeral 12 indicates a display section for stored articles, and although not shown, accessories are similarly stored on the divided body 2 side.

Regarding the embodiment of the present invention described above, the hinge has a structure in which the connection can be removed by shifting the connection part 4 in the direction of the connected ridgeline after opening the divided bodies 2 and 3 as shown in FIG. 2D. In this case, the divided bodies 2 and 3 can be used as a display case by arranging them in the same direction instead of back to back. Further, if the connecting portion 4 is a hinge with a locking device, it is possible to obtain a locking device that can be locked when the divided bodies 2 and 3 are closed on the connecting portion 4 side. However, from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost, it is preferable that the divided bodies 2, 3, connecting portion 4, hanging lid 5, etc. be integrally molded from synthetic resin.

FIGS. 3F and 3G are a front view of the divided body in a closed state and a front view in an open state, showing an aspect in which the quadrilateral cross section is not a square. If the quadrilateral cross section is rhombic, the apex angle on the connecting part 4 side and the apex angle on the locking tool side are equally divided by the diagonal line, so even if the positions of the connecting part and the locking tool are exchanged, However, if it is not diamond-shaped as shown in Fig. 3G where one of the divided bodies 3 is expanded to the dashed line, the connecting part 4 should be on the ridgeline on the opposite side to the apex angle equally divided by the diagonal line. must be established. That is, in order to open the divided bodies 2 and 3 and place them stably as a display stand, as is clear when the surfaces 6 and 7 are brought into contact with one plane as shown in FIG. 1 and the plane are 2
must enclose the equilateral quadrilateral, so the dividing plane 1
The angle formed by and surface 6 is equal to the angle formed by dividing surface 1 and surface 7, and the apex angle of the side to be opened must be equally divided by the diagonal. Also,
The apex angle opposite to the diagonal line is such that when placed back to back, the sum of the internal angles is 180° or more, as shown in Figure 3G, where the shape of the divided body 3 can expand up to the dashed line. This is a condition that the back surfaces of the divided bodies 2 and 3 do not interfere with each other.

In the present invention, the outer surface of the box body, except for surfaces 6 and 7, does not necessarily need to be flat. That is,
The left and right sides as seen in FIG. 1B or C may be concave surfaces, or may be convex surfaces.
The top and right sides seen in Figure 1A are also shown in Figure 2D.
It may be a curved concave surface or a curved convex surface that does not interfere with each other in the state shown in FIG. 3 or in the state shown in FIG. 3G. and,
There is no problem in that the surfaces 6 and 7 are also concave in the center. In addition, as mentioned above, the connecting parts of the divided bodies in the present invention are not only made by hinges made of metal or synthetic resin that are separate parts from the box body, but also by hinges that are molded integrally with the box body. It may be done by a flexible part, and in short, any structure that can open and close the divided bodies by connecting them is sufficient. Further, the chamfered portions a and b shown in FIG. 1 are provided as necessary, and markings of stored articles may be attached to these portions.

If a strap is attached to the article storage case of the present invention, it can be used as a carry case to be carried over the shoulder, and if the strap is made removable, it will not become an eyesore when used for display.
