DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an in-store shopping basket convenient for use in a convenience store, and more particularly to an in-store shopping basket having a partition inside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 12, shopping baskets for putting articles to be purchased and carrying them to a cash register are stacked near a store entrance in a supermarket. In this way, the same shopping basket in the supermarket is also available in the convenience store. In addition to food items, the convenience store stores magazines, cosmetics, umbrellas, sake in glass bottles, and other items necessary for 24 hours a day. These various items are put in one shopping basket.

[0003] When a heavy glass bottle is finally packed from the top with various things in it, the eggs in the pack placed in the lower part break. Also, when packed into miscellaneous items, soft objects such as magazines may bend or break.
If they are inserted at the same time, such a problem occurs, so that a partition may be provided in the shopping basket. However, if the shopping basket is partitioned, the partition is in the way, so it is difficult to put the upper basket in the lower basket and stack it in multiple stages. If you forcibly pile up,
Conventionally, there is a problem that a small number of stages take up space and the entire stacked structure falls down.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made under the above-mentioned technical background, and achieves the following objects.

An object of the present invention is to provide an in-store shopping basket which can be stacked easily without increasing the number of partitions even if there is a partition provided so as to be undulating, and which is easy to use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an in-store shopping basket in which the partitions naturally fall down when stacked, and the standing partitions can be stably held in the upright state.

[0007]

The present invention employs the following means to achieve the above object.

A basket for in-store shopping according to the present invention comprises a basket main body (1), a partition (5) for partitioning the basket main body (1) into two parts, and maintaining a standing posture, and the basket main body (1). A support portion (10) provided at a lower portion for rotatably supporting a rotating portion (8) of the partition (5);
Is characterized by having an oblique portion (9) as an upper portion which is pushed down by another shopping basket and falls down naturally.

[0009]

According to the in-store shopping basket of the present invention, when two shopping baskets are overlapped, a partition 5 in which the bottom part 1a of the upper shopping basket rises straight from the bottom part 1a of the lower shopping basket.
To the oblique part 9 in the upper part of the. The oblique part 9 is pushed by the bottom part 1a of the upper shopping basket and moves toward the bottom part 1a of the lower shopping basket. The rotation shaft 8 at the lower end of the partition 5 is disengaged from the rotation preventing portion 11a of the support portion 10 of the lower bottom portion 1a, and shifts to the rotatable portion 11b of the bearing portion. The partition 5 is naturally pushed down by being pushed by the bottom surface 1a.

Conversely, when the falling partition 5 is caused to rise, the partition 5 rotates around the rotatable portion of the support portion and rises, separating the partition 5 from the bottom of the shopping basket below. When lifted in the direction, the hinge portion of the partition 5 moves to the rotation preventing portion. The rotating shaft 8 of the partition is pressed by the elastic body 14 provided on the bottom surface of the shopping basket below, and the partition 5 maintains the standing posture.

【Example】

(Embodiment 1) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1
FIG. 7 shows a first embodiment of an in-store shopping basket according to the present invention.
2 is an oblique projection view showing the whole, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the main body, FIG. 3 is a front view of the main body, FIG. 4 is a side view of the main body, FIG. 5 to FIG. It is a top view. The main body 1 has a substantially cubic shape, but is formed such that the upper open surface is wide and the bottom surface is narrow. Therefore, the plurality of main bodies 1 can be stacked in multiple stages.

The main body 1 includes a bottom surface 1a and four side surfaces 1b having four sides. A large number of holes are formed in the bottom portion 1a and the side portion 1b. The periphery of the open surface is formed on the peripheral edge 2. Two pairs of rings 3 that stand up are provided at opposing portions of the peripheral edge 2. The bases 4 a of the two handles 4 shown in FIG. 3 are rotatably inserted into the two pairs of wheels 3.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show a plate-like partition 5. Many holes 6 are also formed in the partition 5. The partition 5 is provided with two windows 7a and 7b, which are separate from the holes 6 and have a size that allows the user to access the hand. The lower side of the partition 5 is formed as a rotating shaft 8 having a circular cross section. As shown in FIG. 6, the upper side of the partition 5 opposite to the rotation shaft 8 is formed in a gently bent oblique portion 9.

FIG. 2 shows the positions where the bearings 10 and 10 constituting the hinge type supporting portion for supporting the rotating shaft 8 are provided. Two bearings 10, 10 are provided on the bottom surface 1 a forming the lower portion of the main body 1 by one-piece molding. The bearings 10 form a supporting portion that supports the rotating shaft 8. As shown in FIGS.
The support part formed by is formed of a bearing hole 11a and a bearing hole 11b.

The bearing holes 11a and 11b are oriented in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body 1 (the left-right direction in FIG. 2). The cross section of the bearing hole 11a is rectangular. Bearing hole 11a
Form a rotation preventing portion for preventing rotation of the rotating shaft 8. The bearings 10, 10 are provided with bearing holes 11 b which are continuous with the bearing holes 11 b and are directed downward, that is, toward the bottom surface 1 a. The bearing hole 11 b has a width greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft 8. The bearing hole 11b forms a rotatable portion that enables the rotation of the rotating shaft 8.

The sectional shape of the bearing hole 11a forming the rotation preventing portion is formed in a rectangular shape. Rectangular bearing hole 1
A rectangular cross-section formed by chamfering both ends of the rotating shaft 9 can fit into 1a. The circular section of the rotating shaft 8 can enter into the hole 11c having a semicircular section continuing to the bearing hole 11a. A stopper 13 protrudes from an appropriate position of the bearing 10.

A spring 14 is provided adjacent to the inside of the bearings 10 and 10 facing each other. As shown in FIG.

The sliding parts 9 are disengaged from the rotation preventing parts 11a, 0a and 10 and move to the rotatable part 11b of the bearing part, the oblique part 9 is pushed by the bottom part 1a of the upper shopping basket, and the partition 5 falls down naturally.

Conversely, when the falling partition 5 is caused to rise, the partition 5 rotates around the bearing hole 11b, which is a rotatable portion of the support portion, and rises. At this time, the partition 5 hits the stopper 13 and does not rotate any more. When the partition 5 is lifted in a direction away from the bottom part 1a of the shopping basket below, the hinge part of the partition 5 moves to the rotation preventing part 11a. The rotating shaft 8 of the partition 5 is pressed by a spring 14 provided on the bottom surface 1a of the shopping basket below, and the partition 5 maintains a standing posture.

A magazine or an egg is placed in one of the spaces partitioned by the partition 5 of the shopping basket in which the partition has thus risen. Then put a juice bottle in the other space.
In this case, even if a force is exerted in the direction of falling down the partition 5 by being pushed by the juice bottle, the partition 5 does not fall down by the stopper 13 to the direction where the magazine or the egg is put, so that the egg is not broken and the magazine is not bent.

(Other Embodiments) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and design changes may be made. For example, without providing the windows 7a and 7b, a solid surface is provided therein, and a printed material such as an advertisement is pasted on the solid surface.
