DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage case, and more particularly to a fishing storage case for storing therein fishing-related items such as fishing baits and tackles, and fishing-related products such as fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of fishing, fishing may be carried out while holding a plurality of storage cases for storing devices, fishing baits, and the like. For example, for mountain stream fishing and surf fishing,
Since fishing is often performed while moving from place to place, there is a case where the bait storage case for putting bait is hung from the neck in front of the chest, and the needle storage case for putting the device is put in a pocket of clothes such as a vest and fishing is performed. .

[0003] When a plurality of storage cases are carried around for fishing as described above, if the plurality of storage cases can be connected in a usable state, it is easy to carry the storage case and the storage items can be taken out from the inside. It will be easier. A pair of connectable fishing storage cases is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-04720.
No. 2 discloses this. This storage case includes a case main body and a lid that is attached to the case main body to be openable and closable.

In the conventional fishing storage case, a pair of storage cases are slid and attached and detached. Therefore, when attaching and detaching, a space twice as large as the storage case in the sliding direction is required. become. For this reason, it is difficult to attach and detach the storage case in a narrow space such as a rocky area or a ship. In particular, in the case where storage cases of different sizes are detachably connected, the design in the sliding direction of the larger storage case is limited in the above-described conventional configuration in order to secure a space for mounting and dismounting. In addition, since it is slid and attached and detached, it is necessary to add a structure for preventing displacement in order to prevent the two storage cases from being displaced in the sliding direction separately from the connecting structure for attachment and detachment. It gets complicated.

[0005] Further, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, since the structure is slid and engaged, it is necessary to form a pair of storage cases with a different coupling structure including a locking portion and an engaging portion. Therefore, even if the storage cases have the same design and function, two types having different connection structures must be prepared, and the manufacture and management of the storage cases are troublesome. An object of the present invention is to make it possible to connect a plurality of fishing cases in a narrow space with a simple configuration without shifting.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a fishing storage case with a common connection structure so that the storage case can be easily manufactured and managed.

Here, since the connecting portion is provided detachably in a direction intersecting the outer surface of the storage case instead of being slid, the storage case is connected with a simple configuration in a narrow space without providing a special structure for preventing slippage without slippage. be able to. Further, the connecting portion has a female fitting portion and a male fitting portion that engages with the female fitting portion inside the female fitting portion, the male fitting portion and the female fitting portion, Since the male and female joints each have a projection projecting in the opposite direction to prevent the two mating parts from coming off, when the male and female are joined, the projections protrude toward the mating part and the two cases are separated. It will be locked. In this case, the retaining structure can be easily realized only by providing the projections on the connecting structure of the male and female coupling.

The fishing storage case according to the second aspect of the present invention is the fishing storage case according to the first aspect.
In the fishing storage case described in the above, the connecting portion has the same number of the male fitting portion and the female fitting portion, and the male fitting portion and the female fitting portion are arranged alternately Therefore, if the connecting portions are provided in the same arrangement so that the male fitting portion and the female fitting portion face each other, the two storage cases can be connected and stacked by the connecting portion having the same structure. For this reason, the connection structure can be shared, and the manufacture and management of the storage case can be easily performed.

[0010] The fishing storage case according to the third aspect is the same as the second aspect.
Alternatively, in the fishing storage case described in Item 3, the main body and the lid are substantially rectangular, and the female fitting portion and / or the male fitting portion are provided on the outer peripheral portion. In this case, even if the connecting portion protrudes from the outer surface, it can also be used as a foot of the case.

The fishing storage case according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is the fishing storage case according to the first aspect.
In the fishing storage case according to any one of the first to third aspects, since the connecting portion is provided on both outer surfaces of the main body portion and the lid portion, two or more storage cases are connected by the connecting portion having the same structure.
