Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば衣類や書籍等の物品を整理収納するために用いる蓋付収納箱に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の蓋付収納箱は整理箱本体と蓋体から構成され、収納箱本体に衣類等の物品を収納したり、物品を取り出す際には蓋体の両端に設けられている錠止機構を解除した後に、収納箱本体から蓋体を取り外して、物品を収納したり取り出している。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら従来の蓋付収納箱においては、物品を取り出し又は収納する度に、蓋体を取り外して脇に置く必要があり、急いでいる場合等には煩わしい。また、収納箱を押入に入れたりするなどして、周囲が狭い場合においては、蓋体上に置いてある物品を取り除いてから、蓋体を取り外さなければならず、また取り外した蓋体の置場に困る場合もある。
【０００４】
本発明の目的は、上述の課題を解決し、従来例と同様に蓋体を収納箱本体から取り外し可能とすると共に、必要に応じて蓋体をヒンジ機能により開閉可能とする蓋付収納箱を提供することにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための本発明に係る蓋付収納箱は、１個の箱本体と１個の蓋体と２個の連結部材とから成る合成樹脂製品であり、前記２個の連結部材は運搬用の持ち手を兼ねて前記箱本体の両側にそれぞれ前記連結部材の下部に設けた軸部を介して回動自在に取り付け、前記連結部材を上方に回動して前記連結部材に設けた一対の錠止爪により前記蓋体の端部を挟持して連結を可能とし、両側の前記連結部材により前記蓋体と連結した状態において前記蓋体は前記箱本体に対し被着した状態で錠止し、前記連結部材により前記蓋体の一方の側を連結し他方の側を非連結とした状態において、連結した側の前記連結部材の軸部を中心としたヒンジ機能により前記蓋体を非連結側から開閉可能とすることを特徴とする。
【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明を図示の実施の形態に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図１は本実施の形態における蓋付収納箱の蓋体を閉止した状態の斜視図を示しており、合成樹脂から成る箱本体１の上部には、同様に合成樹脂から成る蓋体２が被せられ、左右の同形の連結機構３により錠止されている。また、箱本体１の下面には、蓋付収納箱の移動を容易とするための車輪４が四隅及び図示しない底部の中心に設けられている。
【０００７】
図２は連結機構３の拡大断面図を示しており、箱本体１の両端側面には、軸部３ａを介して連結部材３ｂが箱本体１に対し回動可能に取り付けられている。この連結部材３ｂに対応する蓋体２の側部には、蓋体２の表面から部分的に低くなり、一部に爪部２ａを有する段部２ｂ、及びこの段部２ｂに続いて下降し外側に張り出す突片２ｃが設けられ、突片２ｃの裏側には凹部２ｄが設けられている。
【０００８】
連結部材３ｂの下部３ｃは平坦面とされ、上端部及び中央部には蓋体２の段部２ｂ及び突片２ｃに接合するための幅広の挟持片３ｄ、３ｅが設けられている。更に、挟持片３ｄ、３ｅの先端に一部の単数又は複数個所に、蓋体２の爪部２ａ、凹部２ｄにそれぞれ係止するための錠止爪３ｆ、３ｇが付設されている。
【０００９】
図３は箱本体１に蓋体２を被せ、左側の連結機構３は錠止直前の状態、右側の連結機構３は錠止がなされた状態の断面図である。箱本体１に蓋体２を取り付けた状態で、連結部材３ｂを蓋体２に向けて軸部３ａを中心に回動させながら、左側の状態から右側の連結状態となるように押し込むと、連結部材３ｂの挟持片３ｄ、３ｅは蓋体２の段部２ｂ、突片２ｃを挟み付けるように入り込む。連結部材３ｂが所定位置まで押し込まれ、挟持片３ｄの錠止爪３ｆ、挟持片３ｅの錠止爪３ｇが、それぞれ爪部２ａ、突片２ｃの端部をカチンと音をたてて乗り越えることにより、連結、錠止がなされる。
【００１０】
蓋体２と連結部材３ｂとの合成樹脂材による弾性も相まって、連結部材３ｂは蓋体２の端部を把持することになり、箱本体１と蓋体２との確実な連結、錠止がなされる。また、両側の連結部材３を錠止した状態で、これらの連結部材３ｂの下部３ｃに手をかけて、この蓋付収納箱を運搬することができる。
【００１１】
蓋体２を外すには連結部材３による錠止を解除すればよい。錠止の解除は、連結部材３ｂの上部を押しながら斜め下方に回動し、錠止爪３ｆ、３ｇを蓋体２から外す。
【００１２】
図４は一方の連結機構３の連結を解除し、蓋体２を回動させた状態の断面図を示している。連結を解除した側の蓋体２の端部を持ち、連結がなされている側の連結部材３ｂの軸部３ａを支点とするヒンジ機能により、蓋体２を上方に回動させることができる。
【００１３】
また、このヒンジ機能による回動に際して、連結部材３ｂの下部３ｃが箱本体１の側面に当接することにより回動が規制されるが、蓋体２は約１００゜の範囲で開閉が可能である。また、蓋体２は約９０゜以上の回動により、自立可能に開放することができる。
【００１４】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明に係る蓋付収納箱は、蓋体を収納箱本体から取り外しを可能とすると共に、蓋体をヒンジ機能を用いて一方の側からのみ開閉を可能とすることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lidded storage box used for organizing and storing articles such as clothes and books.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, this type of storage box with a lid is composed of an organizing box body and a lid, and locks provided at both ends of the lid when storing articles such as clothes in the storage box body or taking out articles. After releasing the mechanism, the lid is removed from the storage box body to store or take out articles.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a conventional storage box with a lid, every time an article is taken out or stored, it is necessary to remove the lid and set it aside, which is troublesome when rushing. Also, if the surroundings are narrow, such as by putting the storage box into a closet, you must remove the lid after removing the items placed on the lid, and place the removed lid You may be in trouble.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to provide a storage box with a lid that solves the above-described problems and enables the lid to be removed from the storage box body as in the conventional example, and the lid can be opened and closed by a hinge function as necessary. It is to provide.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a storage box with a lid according to the present invention is a synthetic resin product comprising one box body, one lid, and two connecting members, the two connecting members being Also serving as a carrying handle, both sides of the box body are pivotally attached via shafts provided at the lower part of the connecting member, and the connecting member is rotated upward and provided on the connecting member. A pair of locking claws clamps the end of the lid to enable connection , and the lid is locked in a state of being attached to the box body while being connected to the lid by the connecting members on both sides. In a state where one side of the lid is connected by the connecting member and the other side is not connected, the lid is made non-movable by a hinge function around the shaft portion of the connecting member on the connected side. It can be opened and closed from the connection side.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a lid of a storage box with a lid in the present embodiment is closed. Similarly, a lid 2 made of synthetic resin is put on top of a box body 1 made of synthetic resin. And is locked by the same right and left connecting mechanism 3. Further, on the lower surface of the box body 1, wheels 4 for facilitating the movement of the lidded storage box are provided at the four corners and at the center of the bottom (not shown).
[0007]
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the coupling mechanism 3, and a coupling member 3 b is attached to both side surfaces of the box body 1 via a shaft portion 3 a so as to be rotatable with respect to the box body 1. A side portion of the lid 2 corresponding to the connecting member 3b is partially lowered from the surface of the lid 2 and has a step portion 2b having a claw portion 2a in a part thereof, and descends following the step portion 2b. A protruding piece 2c projecting outward is provided, and a recess 2d is provided on the back side of the protruding piece 2c.
[0008]
The lower part 3c of the connecting member 3b is a flat surface, and wide holding pieces 3d and 3e for joining to the step part 2b and the projecting piece 2c of the lid 2 are provided at the upper end part and the central part. Furthermore, locking claws 3f and 3g for engaging with the claw portions 2a and the concave portions 2d of the lid body 2 are attached to some or a part of the tip of the sandwiching pieces 3d and 3e, respectively.
[0009]
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the box body 1 covered with a lid 2, the left connecting mechanism 3 being in a state immediately before locking, and the right connecting mechanism 3 being in a locked state. With the lid 2 attached to the box body 1, the coupling member 3 b is rotated from the left side to the right coupled state while being rotated about the shaft portion 3 a toward the lid 2. The sandwiching pieces 3d and 3e of the member 3b enter so as to sandwich the step 2b and the projecting piece 2c of the lid 2. The connecting member 3b is pushed to a predetermined position, and the locking claw 3f of the clamping piece 3d and the locking claw 3g of the clamping piece 3e get over the ends of the claw part 2a and the protruding piece 2c, respectively, with a click. Thus, connection and locking are performed.
[0010]
Combined with the elasticity of the lid 2 and the connecting member 3b due to the synthetic resin material, the connecting member 3b grips the end of the lid 2 so that the box body 1 and the lid 2 can be reliably connected and locked. Made. In addition, with the connecting members 3 on both sides locked, the storage box with lid can be transported by touching the lower part 3c of the connecting members 3b.
[0011]
To remove the lid 2, the lock by the connecting member 3 may be released. To release the lock, the upper part of the connecting member 3b is pushed and rotated obliquely downward, and the lock claws 3f and 3g are removed from the lid 2.
[0012]
FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the state in which the connection of one of the connection mechanisms 3 is released and the lid 2 is rotated. The lid body 2 can be rotated upward by a hinge function having the end portion of the lid body 2 on the side where the connection is released and using the shaft portion 3a of the coupling member 3b on the side where the connection is made.
[0013]
Further, during the rotation by the hinge function, the rotation is restricted by the lower portion 3c of the connecting member 3b coming into contact with the side surface of the box body 1, but the lid body 2 can be opened and closed within a range of about 100 °. . Further, the lid body 2 can be opened in a self-supporting manner by rotating about 90 ° or more.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the storage box with a lid according to the present invention enables the lid to be removed from the storage box main body, and the lid can be opened and closed only from one side using a hinge function. .
