[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
The small container of the present invention is configured such that an inner container 4 having a plurality of compartments for storing small items is detachably attached to the inside of an outer container 3 composed of two members 1 and 2 that are connected to be freely opened and closed. is there.
[0014]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which an accessory container according to an embodiment of the present invention is closed, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the opened state, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view thereof. The accessory storage device has a size that can be stored in a pants pocket or the like and carried.
[0015]
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the inner container 4 is removed from the outer container 3. The two members 1 and 2 have substantially the same shape and are made of hard plastic with relatively rigidity. The two members 1 and 2 can be opened and closed by a hinge structure 5 and can be held in a closed state by a fastener 6 that is rotatably provided on one member 2. This accessory storage device can be used in a state in which tobacco or the like is stored in the outer container 3 even when the inner container 4 is not attached.
[0016]
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the inner container 4, and FIG. 6 is a plan view of the inner container 4 (with the lid 7 opened). There are two inner containers 4 corresponding to the members 1 and 2 of the outer container 3, but one inner container 4 may be used. The inner container 4 is made of a transparent plastic having flexibility that is slightly softer than that of the outer container 3.
[0017]
A lid 7 that covers one or a plurality of compartments is provided on the upper end of the inner container 4 via a hinge portion 8. When this accessory storage device is to be carried in a place where there is a possibility of splashing water for fishing or the like, it is packed on the periphery of one of the members 1 and 2 of the outer container 3 so that the accessory to be stored does not get wet. It is desirable to provide 9 and keep the sealed state with the lid 7. Since the small container is configured so that the inner container 4 can be detached from the outer container 3, the outer container 3 can have a waterproof structure provided with such a packing 9.
[0018]
The inner container 4 has a plurality of sections by providing partitions in a lattice shape. In this embodiment, three columns and four rows are provided. The partition may be formed integrally with the inner container 4 main body. However, as shown in FIG. 7, at least a part of the partition 10 can be detachably attached to the clamping portion 11 formed in the partition so that the partition can be changed. May be.
[0019]
Further, each inner container 4 has a bulky part 12 and a low part 13, and when the outer container 3 is closed, the bulky part 12 of one inner container 4 and the other inner container 4. It is arranged to be opposite to each other and attached to the outer container 3 so that the low-volume portions 13 face each other.
[0020]
Thereby, the inner container 4 can be formed with a portion having a depth that exceeds the depth of each of the members 1 and 2 of the outer container 3 or a depth exceeding this, and can increase the number of items that can be stored and how to store them. Can do.
[0021]
The inner container 4 is configured to fit inside the outer container 3, and engaging portions 14 and 15 that engage with each other are provided on the inner periphery of the outer container 3 and the outer periphery of the inner container 4. Yes. The engaging portion 14 on the inner periphery of the outer container 3 is a U-shaped frame, and the engaging portion 15 of the inner container 4 is a protruding piece that engages with the inside of the U-shaped frame. The engaging portions 14 and 15 are preferably formed on at least two opposing sides of the inner periphery of each member 1 and 2 of the outer container 3 and the outer periphery of each inner container 4. The inner container 4 is firmly fixed in the outer container 3 by the engaging portions 14 and 15.
[0022]
In this embodiment, the engaging portion 14 is provided on each of the two longitudinal sides of the members 1 and 2 of the outer container 3 (one on the hinge structure 5 side and the opposite side), and in the lateral direction. Two engagement portions 15 are provided on each of the two sides, and one engagement portion 15 is provided on each of the two sides in the longitudinal direction of each inner container 4 and two on one side in the lateral direction (either the upper side or the lower side). The engaging portions 14 and 15 are engaged with each other on the two sides in the vertical direction and one side in the horizontal direction of each member 1 and 2 of the outer container 3 and each inner container 4.
[0023]
When attaching / detaching the inner container 4 to / from the outer container 3, the outer container 3 and / or the inner container 4 are slightly deformed. The deformation may be as small as possible so that the engagement portions 14 and 15 can be disengaged. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the longitudinal sides of the members 1 and 2 of the outer container are pressed in the direction of arrow A with a finger so that the members 1 and 2 are warped. The engagement portions 14 and 15 on one side in the lateral direction are released by releasing the engagement of the joint portions 14 and 15 and pressing the partition forming the outer periphery and the compartment of the inner container 4 in the direction of arrow B with a finger. It is good to release the engagement.
[0024]
The inner container 4 can be manufactured in various variations with respect to the position and number of partitions according to the type of small items to be stored, and can be used after being replaced. Therefore, since this small container can be used for various purposes by exchanging the inner container 4, the manufacturer does not need to newly remake a mold for the entire small container, The person does not need to buy another new accessory container. Therefore, it is possible to omit the cost of manufacturing a new accessory storage device and securing the storage location.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
The accessory storage device according to the present invention is configured as described above, and the size and shape of the compartment for storing the accessory can be easily changed by exchanging the inner container 4 attached to the outer container 3.
