Description

  The present invention relates to a foldable storage device that can be folded flat when not in use and can easily store small articles and foodstuffs when used.

  Conventionally, a hemispherical container having a flat bottom made of a single material and a container having a rectangular bottom are housed.

Therefore, there are the following problems.
(B) A large storage space was required when not in use or transported.
(B) When the objects were stored, the area of the bottom plate was narrower than the periphery of the side wall, so the storage tools could not be stacked, and the storage tools had to be placed one by one, requiring a large space.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

  A storage tool that overlaps ends of a plurality of adjacent bendable side portions, is rotatably connected by a connection fulcrum, and forms a storage portion with a bottom portion surrounded by these side portions, wherein the side portion Connects the bottoms so that they can be folded in a planar state toward the center of the bottom. This is a folding storage device characterized by the above.

  The ends of a plurality of adjacent bendable side portions are overlapped and connected to be pivotable by connection fulcrums, and a dust-collecting type storage portion is formed with a bottom portion that is surrounded by these side portions so as to open a part. In the storage tool to be formed, the side portion connects the bottom portion so that the side portion can be folded in a planar state toward the center of the bottom portion. This is a folding storage device characterized by the above.

  The ends of a plurality of adjacent bendable side portions are overlapped, and a storage portion is formed by a plurality of side portions that are rotatably connected by connection fulcrums and a bottom portion surrounded by these side portions. The side part is connected to the bottom part so that it can be folded in a plane state toward the center of the bottom part. This is a folding storage device characterized by the above.

  Since the present invention can be folded and flattened when not in use, it can be stored without taking up space even if it is owned, can be reduced in cost even if transported in large quantities, and is portable when used outdoors such as barbecue. Convenient. The structure is simple and can be assembled and folded easily. When assembled, the bottom plate can be made wider than around the side wall of the storage tool, and the present invention can be placed on top of each other. Therefore, even in a narrow kitchen, each prepared food can be stored and placed in the present invention. By providing an opening in the side wall of the storage tool, when the food material cut on the cutting board is transferred to a frying pan or the like, it can be quickly performed without spilling the food material. Various designs are possible, such as making the bottom plate a circle or a triangle when flattened. The bottom plate and the side plate can be manufactured from a single plate that can be bent, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. The food can be drained by drilling holes in the bottom and side plates.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(B) The ends of four side plates (2a), (2b), (2c), and (2d) that can be bent slightly shorter than the sides of the square bottom plate (1) are overlapped to form a square shape, and the right side plate (2b) And both ends of the front side plate (2a) and the back side plate (2c) are overlapped on both ends of the left side plate (2d).

The present invention has the structure as described above, and when this is used, the side plate (2b) (2d) has the center and the side plate with the fold line (6b) (6d) as a fulcrum with the connecting portion (3b) (3d). When (2b) and (2d) are raised, the side plates (2a) and (2c) adjacent to each other with the connection fulcrums (4a), (4b), (4c) and (4d) as the axis rotate, and the fold lines (6a) and (6c) are supported as fulcrums. The side plates (2a) and (2c) rise while curving in the direction of the wall and serve as the side wall of the storage device. In order to prevent the side plate from firmly returning to the original plane, the upper right end of the side plate (2a) and the upper right end of the side plate (2c) are sandwiched between the notches (5a) and (5b) at both ends of the side plate (2b). The upper left end of the side plate (2c) and the upper left end of the side plate (2a) are sandwiched between the notches (5c) and (5d) of the side plate (2d), respectively.
In the present invention, foodstuffs and accessories are stored. In addition, another food or the like can be stored in another embodiment of the present invention and placed on the present invention. When cooking is completed, both ends of the side plates (2a) and (2c) are removed from the cuts (5a), (5b), (5c), and (5d), and flattened by folding.

(A) Based on the best mode, as shown in FIG. 3, the front side plate is removed, and the ends of the three side plates (12b), (12c) and (12d) are overlapped to form a U-shape, and the right side plate (12b) When the two side plates (12c) are overlapped on the back end of the left side plate (12d) and assembled, an opening is provided in the side wall as shown in FIG. To do.
(B) A connecting portion (13b) (13d) to the bottom plate (1) is provided in front of the outer peripheries of the right side plate (12b) and the left side plate (12d), respectively, and at the center of the outer periphery of the back side plate (12c). A connecting portion (13c) is provided.
(C) When assembling the side plates of the storage device, the side plate (12b) has a key-shaped notch (15b) overlapped with the side plate (12c) in order to prevent the adjacent side plates from being firmly assembled and returned to the original plane. Similarly, a key-shaped notch (15c) is provided on the side plate (12d) at the end on the inner peripheral side overlapping the side plate (12c).
(D) The side plates (12b) (12c) (12d) and the connecting portions (13b) (13c) (13d) overlapping the U-shape are arranged on the bottom plate (11), and the connecting portions (13b) (13c) (13d) is connected to the periphery of the bottom plate.
(E) The center of the portion where the ends of the side plate (12c) and the side plate (12b) overlap is connected by caulking to provide a pivotable connection fulcrum (14b). Similarly, the side plate (12c) and the side plate (12d) are connected at the connection fulcrum (14d), and the three side plates (12b), (12c), and (12d) are folded in a U-shape toward the center of the bottom plate (11). It is assumed to be a flat state.
When using this, as in the best mode, when the center of the back side plate (12c) is raised, the left and right side plates (12b) and (12d) rotate around the connection fulcrum (14b) and (14c) as a curve. While standing up, a duster-type storage device having an opening is obtained. In order to prevent the side plates from firmly returning to the original plane, the upper portions at both ends of the side plates (12c) are sandwiched between the notches (15b) and (15c) of the side plates (12b) and (12d).
The food (18) cut on the cutting board (17) is stored in the present invention using a knife or the like, and the food in the storage tool is transferred to a frying pan or the like according to the cooking procedure. In addition, other foods can be cut and stored in another embodiment of the present invention. When cooking is finished, fold it flat.

(B) The T-shaped side plates (22a), (22b), and (22c) are tilted inward, and both ends are overlapped to form a triangle, and the connecting portions (below the T-shaped side plates (22a), (22b), and (22c)) 23a) (23b) (23c) are provided.
(C) The side plates (22a), (22b), and (22c) that overlap with the triangle are arranged on the circular bottom plate (21), the connecting portions (23a), (23b), and (23c) are folded inward, and the connecting portions (23a ) (23b) (23c) is aligned with the circumference of the bottom plate (21), and the side plates (22a) (22b) (22c) are connected.
(D) The center of the portion where the ends of the side plates (22a), (22b), and (22c) overlap is connected by caulking to provide pivotable connection fulcrums (24a), (24b), and (24c). The three side plates (22a), (22b), and (22c) are in a planar state that is folded into a triangle in the center direction of the bottom plate (21).
When using this, if the center of each side plate (22a) (22b) (22c) is raised, side plates (22a) (22b) (22b) (22b) ( 22c) gets up while rotating and curving to form the side wall of the storage device. Ingredients and accessories can be stored in the present invention, and can be folded and flattened when not in use, and can be used as an interior accessory case in various designs.
