As shown in FIG. Moreover, the handle part 26 formed in the shape of a mountain is integrally formed in the front part of the front-back longitudinal direction D of the base part 16. As shown in FIG. The handle portion 26 is formed with a recess 17 for the finger ring facing the open end 21 downward. The finger is caught by inserting the finger through the open end 21 into the recess 17 for the finger holder. At this time, the hand-holding part 23 which is an area | region where a finger is caught in the front inner wall part 22 in the finger-rest recessed part 17 is arrange | positioned above the axial part 18 from the side. That is, the hand part 23 constitutes a part of the front inner wall part 22. Further, the front inner wall portion 22 is formed to be inclined so that the length of the front-rear longitudinal direction D gradually increases toward the lower side. That is, the lower end side than the upper end side of the front inner wall part 22 is located in front of the hand.

Moreover, the leaf | plate spring (bush member) 27 is integrally formed in the upper end of the handle part 26. As shown in FIG. The leaf spring 27 is arranged between the upper end of the handle part 26 and the upper end surface 8a in the handle groove 8, as shown in FIG. 3, and moves the movable handle part 13 downward. I'm taxing.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a protruding portion 28 protruding downward is integrally formed in the vicinity of the handle portion 26 of the rear surface of the base portion 16. That is, the length d1 on the side surface from the front inner wall portion 22 to the protrusion 28 is set smaller than the length d2 on the side surface from the shaft portion 18 to the protrusion 28.

In addition, the movable handle part 13 is one component in which the base part 16, the shaft part 18, the handle part 26, the leaf spring 27, and the protrusion part 28 which were mentioned above were integrally formed with resin. It is formed.

As in this configuration, the shaft portion 18 is fitted into the hole 31 (see FIG. 4) formed in the groove 8 for the handle, so that the movable handle portion 13 rotates through the shaft portion 18 ( It is rotatably supported around L). In addition, when the movable handle 13 is rotated, the protrusion 28 also rotates around the rotation axis L. As shown in FIG. The axis of rotation L is a width direction W of the storage container 1, that is, a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction (front and rear longitudinal direction D) of the storage container 1 in the direction along the bottom portion of the drawer 6. It is an axis extending into.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the restricting plate 14 integrally formed is provided in the both ends of the width direction of the handle part 26. As shown in FIG. The restricting plate 14 is in contact with the upper surface of the support plate portion 15 formed at both ends in the width direction of the handle groove 8. Then, when the regulating plate 14 abuts on the support plate 15, it is restricted that the movable knob 13 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more toward the outside of the knob groove 8.

5, the to-be-fitted (fitting part) recessed part 33 is formed in the center of the longitudinal direction of the lower frame part 32 of the opening part 12. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the movable handle 13 is plated in the natural state in which the drawer 6 is press-fitted into the support 7 and the finger is not held in the recess 17 for finger-holding. The protrusion 28 is fitted to the fitting recess 33 by being urged downward by the spring 27. Thereby, the drawer 6 is locked in the support part 7. On the other hand, when the movable handle part 13 is rotated upward with respect to the biasing force of the leaf spring 27, the projection part 28 will come out of the to-be-fitted recessed part 33, and the lock state of the drawer 6 will be released. That is, the rotation position in which the movable handle 13 is arranged when the drawer 6 is locked becomes the lock position R, and the movable handle 13 is arranged when the lock of the drawer 6 is released from the lock position R. FIG. The rotational position is the lock release position U.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the lower frame portion 32 is formed with a long groove 37 extending over the entire longitudinal direction. The long groove 37 is fitted with a reinforcing plate 38 made of a resin material extending in a plate shape such that the short side portion thereof faces in the vertical direction. In Fig. 5, reference numeral 36 denotes a reinforcing rib.

And the bottom part (back surface) 39 of the support part 7 is formed in substantially flat so that what was accommodated in the lower drawer 6 may not be caught, as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the storage container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

With the drawer 6 sliding in front of it, the object to be stored is placed in the drawer 6 by placing the object in the drawer 6 and pressing the drawer 6 into the support 7.

When the drawer 6 is press-fitted into the support part 7, it is biased by the leaf spring 27, and the movable handle part 13 is arrange | positioned in the lock position R. As shown in FIG. At this time, the protrusion 28 is fitted to the fitting recess 33 so that the drawer 6 is locked.

In this state, in order to take out the drawer 6 to the front of a user, it is as follows. That is, a finger is inserted in the finger-rest recessed part 17, and a finger is put on the hand-hold part 23. As shown in FIG. Then, when the finger is pulled forward with a predetermined force, the front inner wall portion 22 is inclined so that the distance in the front and rear longitudinal direction gradually increases toward the lower side (the lower end side is positioned in front of the upper side of the front inner wall portion 22). As a result, the rotary knob rotates clockwise to the movable knob 13, and the movable knob 13 rotates upward with the rotation axis L as the center of rotation with respect to the side force of the leaf spring 27. . At this time, since the protrusion part 28 is formed integrally with the movable handle part 13, it rotates using the rotation axis L as a rotation center. And when the movable handle part 13 is arrange | positioned to the lock release position U, the protrusion part 28 will be pulled out from the to-be-fitted recessed part 33, and the lock of the drawer 6 will be released. Therefore, when the finger is pulled forward as it is, the drawer 6 slides forward.

In addition, when the movable knob 13 is rotated from the lock position R to the lock release position U, the resin portion 23 is disposed above the shaft portion 18, so that the rotary knob moves smoothly with a small force. do.

In addition, if the protrusion 28 is formed at a position close to the shaft 18, a larger amount of movement is necessary to completely pull the protrusion 28 from the fitting recess 33, but in the present invention, the protrusion 28 Is formed in the vicinity of the handle portion 26, so that the protrusions 28 fall out with a smaller amount of movement. Moreover, since it is provided in the vicinity of the handle part 26, the protrusion part 28 rotates more linearly.

Moreover, since the reinforcing plate 38 is provided in the lower frame portion 32 of the support portion 7, deformation of the opening portion 12 during and after processing is prevented. At this time, since the short side portion of the reinforcing plate 38 is directed in the vertical direction, the deformation of the opening portion 12 in the upper direction is more effectively prevented.

Moreover, since the bottom part 39 of the support part 7 is formed in substantially flat shape, the drawer 6 can be smoothed without the clothing etc. which were accommodated in the drawer 6 arrange | positioned under the lower part of the support part 7 not being caught by the bottom part 39. ) Is sliding.

As described above, according to the storage container 1 according to the present invention, when the movable handle 13 is rotated with the rotation axis L as the center of rotation, the protrusion 28 rotates together with the movable handle 13. As the rotational movement of the movable handle 13 to the rotational movement of the protrusion 28, it can be smoothly continued without loss. For this reason, locking and unlocking of the drawer 6 can be performed easily.

In addition, since the front inner wall portion 22 is inclined so that the size of the front and rear longitudinal direction gradually increases toward the lower side, the movable handle portion 13 is inclined (lower side is positioned in front of the hand than the upper side of the front inner wall portion 22). A rotational force that rotates clockwise is applied, and the movable handle 13 can be rotated upward by pulling forward the resin portion 23 without being conscious of lifting the movable handle 13 upward. For this reason, only by pulling the handle part 26 in the direction which slides the drawer 6, it becomes possible to release | release the drawer 6 and slide it smoothly by one operation.

In addition, since the resin portion 23 is located above the shaft portion 18, the movable handle portion 13 can be smoothly rotated with a smaller force, and the lock of the drawer 6 can be more easily released. have.

Moreover, since the protrusion part 28 is formed in the vicinity of the handle part 26, the movable handle part 13 can be rotated little by little, and the protrusion part 28 can be removed from the to-be-fitted concave part 33. FIG.

Furthermore, since the protrusions 28 are formed in the vicinity of the handle portion 26, the protrusions 28 can be rotated more linearly, and the protrusions 28 are easily placed in the fitting recess 33. I can take it out.

In addition, since the reinforcing plate 38 is provided in the lower frame portion 32 of the support portion 7, deformation of the opening 12 during and after processing can be prevented, and the drawer 6 can be Sliding can be smoothed. In addition, since the short side portion of the reinforcing plate 38 faces in the vertical direction, the side of the reinforcing plate 38 has a higher rigidity than the case where the reinforcing plate 38 is laid in the horizontal direction. It can be matched in the direction, it is possible to effectively prevent the deformation of the vertical direction of the opening 12. In addition, since the fitting recess 33 and the reinforcing plate 38 are provided in the lower frame portion 32 together, deformation of the fitting recess 33 in the vertical direction can be prevented, and over a long period of time. The drawer 6 can be locked or unlocked securely.

Moreover, since the bottom part 39 of the support part 7 is formed in substantially flat shape, the clothes etc. accommodated in the drawer 6 arrange | positioned under the lower part can be prevented from being caught by the bottom part 39, The sliding of (6) can be performed smoothly.

In addition, since the movable handle part 13 is integrally formed as one component, the structure can be simplified.

Moreover, in this invention, although two or more containers 2 are laminated | stacked, the lamination number can be changed suitably. For example, only one container 2 may be formed.

In addition, the bottom portion 39 of the support portion 7 is formed to be substantially flat, but is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the center portion of the support portion 7 is disposed on the bottom portion 39. It is also possible to form a back opening 43 over approximately the entire surface. The rear surface opening 43 is formed in a quadrangle, and two rear openings 43 are formed in the width direction of the support 7. Thereby, not only the weight of the whole container 2 can be reduced, but cost can also be reduced.

The material of the reinforcing plate 38 is preferably resin, but the material is not limited thereto, and the material may be appropriately changed, such as a metal.

Although described above with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art can be variously modified and changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below You will understand.

As described above, according to the storage container according to the present invention, there is an effect that it is easy to lock and unlock the drawer.
