JP-A-2005-330001 JP-A-2005-280724

  Since the sheet-like material storage containers of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 use elastic springs as means for maintaining the sheet-like material in the container, the elastic force is excessive on a part of the sheet-like material. It acts strongly, so that a large force may be required to take out the sheet-like material from the opening, or it may get caught inside the container.

  The first object of the present invention is to make the sheet-like material easy by elastically pressing the elastic material linked to the operation member by sliding operation of the operation member provided outside the sheet-like material storage box. Another object is to propose a sheet-like object storage container that can be taken out outward.

  The second object of the present invention is to propose a sheet storage container suitable for taking out sheet by sheet.

  The third object of the present invention is to propose a sheet-like object storage container suitable for taking out a sheet-like object to the end.

The first means is
A sheet-like object storage box 2 having a parallel bottom wall 6 and a top wall 22 and having a guide groove 36 formed in the top wall extending in the left-right direction;
A sheet-like laminate 40 placed on the bottom wall 6;
A horizontal elastic plate 52 inserted between the sheet-like laminate 40 and the top wall 22;
A leg piece 48 is suspended in the guide groove 36 from the back surface of the operation portion 46 placed on the top wall 22, and the operation member 44 is provided so as to be slidable in the left-right direction along the guide groove 36. Equipped,
An opening 16 is provided on one side in the left-right direction of the sheet storage box 2,
One end in the left-right direction of the elastic plate 52 is a fixed end 54 that is prevented from moving outward at least in the left-right direction,
An engaging portion 62 is provided on the other side in the left-right direction of the elastic plate 52 at a certain distance from the fixed end portion 54, and the leg piece 48 of the operation member is locked to the engaging portion,
When the operating member 44 is slid to one side in the left-right direction, the elastic plate portion between the engaging portion 62 and the fixed end portion 54 is deformed with compression, so that the upper and lower ends of the deformed portion 64 are deformed. The back surface of the top wall 22 and the upper surface of the sheet-like laminate 40 are respectively pressed against each other, and the uppermost sheet-like material of the sheet-like laminate is pulled in the sliding direction of the operation member by the frictional force generated by the pressure contact. It was configured to project outward through the portion 16.

  In this means, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, it is proposed that the horizontal elastic plate is deformed with bending so that the sheet-like material can be taken out. The elastic plate has one end portion in the longitudinal direction as a fixed end portion, and is engaged with an operation member slidable in the left-right direction on the opposite side of the fixed end portion. The elastic plate portion between the engagement portion and the fixed end portion is easily bent by the slide of the operation member, presses against the sheet-like object, and pushes the sheet-like object outward. Since the horizontal elastic plate bends and presses against the sheet-like object, the bending method can be easily adjusted, and the sheet-like object can be protruded outward without difficulty. In addition, the frictional force between the elastic body and the sheet-like material is greater than the frictional force between the sheet-like materials. Thereby, a sheet-like thing can be pulled and taken out from a sheet-like thing laminated body.

  The “deformation with bending” includes a deformation state (for example, a refraction state shown in FIG. 9) that is sufficient by local bending of the elastic plate and that passes through the bending stage. “Deflection” is a deformation in which the axis of the plate is bent by an external force, and is a state in which the plate is strained and bent against the external force. In this state, the plate material leaves room for further bending, so that it has a cushioning action and is softly pressed against the sheet-like material. As a preferred example, the elastic plate bends from the flat state of FIG. 2 first to an arcuate shape or S shape (not shown), and then refracted at a plurality of points F as shown in FIG. 8 to bend in a zigzag shape or a wave shape. . Finally, it is refracted into a bowl shape and is folded.

The second means includes the first means, and the elastic plate 52 is made of a soft material such as sponge, and the top of the unused sheet-like laminate 40 and the sheet-like article storage box 2. By freely inserting between the wall 22 and the deformed portion 64 between the engaging portion 62 and the fixed end portion 54, the deformed portion 64 is deformed into a corrugated shape or a hook shape.

  In this means, it is proposed that the elastic plate is formed of a soft material such as sponge. Thereby, the elastic board part between an engaging part and a fixed end part can be touched softly to a sheet-like material laminated body. The elastic plate is inserted (freely inserted) with play A between the top wall of the sheet storage box and the sheet stack as shown in FIG. Thereby, bending deformation becomes possible. Since the elastic plate made of a soft material is easily refracted, it is easily deformed into a waveform shown in FIG. As a result, the sheet-like object is pressed against the entire length of the deformed portion with substantially the same force. That is, there is little variation in the pressure contact force. If a part of the elastic plate comes into contact with the sheet-like material laminate, two or more sheet-like materials may be pulled to the opening side, but this is unlikely to occur in the configuration of this means. .

The third means includes the first means or the second means, and makes the elastic plate 52 contact or approach the back surface of the top wall 22,
When the leg piece 48 is moved from one end to the middle of the guide groove 36 in the longitudinal direction, the uppermost sheet-like object 42 of the sheet-like article laminate can be pulled to the opening 16, and the leg piece It is designed so that the lower sheet-like material 42 of the sheet-like laminate can be pulled to the opening 16 when 48 is moved from one end to the other end of the guide groove 36 in the longitudinal direction.

In this means, the sheet-like material can be stably taken out even when the thickness of the sheet-like laminate is reduced by using the sheet-like material. When moving the leg pieces 7 from the starting end E ₁ of the guide groove to the way to the end E ₂ for the traction of the most upper sheet of the sheet stack to the opening it can be also be towed from the beginning E ₁ leg of the guide groove, as shown in FIG. 9 when moving to the terminal E _2, the lower order of the sheet of the sheet stack to the opening In this way, the elastic plate is designed.

The fourth means has the third means, and the elastic plate portion excluding the fixed end portion 54 is provided with two parallel cut lines 56, 56 in the left-right direction. The movable plate portion 60 is divided into a movable plate portion 60 between the cut lines and a pair of front and rear side portions 58 and 58 attached to the inside of the sheet-like material storage box 2, and the movable plate portion 60 is engaged with the leg pieces 48. A portion 62 is formed.

  In this means, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, two cut lines are formed in the elastic plate so that a part of the elastic plate is used as the movable plate portion. Of the movable plate portion, a portion between the engaging portion and the fixed end portion is bent and deformed by the sliding of the operation member to generate friction with the sheet-like material stack. If the distance between the cut lines is shortened, the frictional force is reduced, and if the distance between the cut lines is increased, the frictional force is increased. Therefore, a suitable frictional force can be realized by changing the front-rear width of the movable plate portion.

According to the first aspect of the invention, the elastic plate 52 linked to the operation member simply bends the operation member 44 to bend and press the sheet-like material, and the sheet-like material protrudes outward from the container. Since the operation member automatically returns to the original position, it is easy to use.

The invention according to the second means has the following effects.
○ Since the elastic plate 52 is made of a soft material such as sponge, the sheet-like material can be taken out with a light force.
○ Since the deformed portion 64 between the engaging portion 62 and the fixed end portion 54 is deformed into a corrugated shape or a saddle shape, there is little variation in force over the left and right directions of the elastic portion, and it is easy to take out the sheet-like material one by one .

  According to the invention relating to the third means, even if the thickness of the sheet-like material stack 40 changes, it can be stably taken out by utilizing the bending of the elastic plate 52.

  According to the fourth aspect of the invention, since the elastic plate portion between the two cut lines 56 and 56 bends, the magnitude of the frictional resistance due to the bend can be freely designed according to the distance between the cut lines. .

It is the longitudinal cross-sectional view seen from the II-II direction of the container of FIG. It is the longitudinal cross-sectional view seen from the III-III direction of the container of FIG. It is a top view of the open state of the container of FIG. It is a top view of the principal part of the container of FIG. It is a perspective view in the initial state of the principal part of FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view in a state in which the operation member of the container is slid small. It is a perspective view of the principal part in the state of FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view in a state in which the operation member of the container is slid greatly.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet-like material storage container of the present invention includes a sheet-like material storage box 2, a sheet-like material stack 40, an operation member 44, and an elastic plate 52. In addition, each member except a sheet-like object laminated body and an elastic board can be formed with a synthetic resin.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the sheet-like material storage box 2 is rectangular when viewed from above, and has a shape that is flat in the horizontal direction compared to its height. As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet-like material storage box 2 includes a box body 4 and a lid 20.

  The box body 4 has a rectangular bottom wall 6 that is long in the left-right direction, and one of the left and right portions of the bottom wall is a first inclined wall 6a that is shallowly inclined outward and upward as shown in FIG. . Then, the peripheral wall 8 stands upright from the outer periphery of the bottom wall. In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 4, four positioning projections 10 for coming into contact with a sheet-like material laminate described later are shallowly projected from the inner surfaces of the front wall portion and the rear wall portion of the peripheral wall 8. ing. However, the number and arrangement of the positioning protrusions can be changed as appropriate.

  Further, an opening 16 is formed at the upper end portion of the side wall portion that is continuous with the first inclined wall portion 6 a in the peripheral wall 8. This opening can be formed as a shallow groove formed in the upper end surface of the side wall portion. The front-rear width of the opening 16 is longer than at least the front-rear width of the sheet-like material 42, and in the case of the illustrated example, it is formed over almost the entire length of the side wall portion on the short side of the peripheral wall 8. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a fitting recess serving as the first engaging means 18 is laterally provided on the front wall portion of the peripheral wall 8.

  The lid 20 is connected to the upper end of the rear wall portion of the peripheral wall 8 via a thin hinge 24 shown in FIG. One side portion of the top wall 22 of the lid 20 in the left-right direction is a second inclined wall portion 22a that is shallowly inclined downward and outward as shown in FIG. As a result, the bottom wall portion and the top wall portion reaching the opening portion 16 have a tapered shape when viewed from the front-rear direction, and the sheet-like material can smoothly pass through the opening portion 16. An appropriate number of stoppers 28 are formed on the back surface of the second inclined wall portion 22a to lock the end surface on one side in the left-right direction of the elastic plate described later. In the illustrated example, a pair of front and rear right-angled triangular stoppers 28 are provided, but the structure can be changed as appropriate.

  A hanging wall 30 is suspended from three sides of the lid 20 excluding the opening side. As shown in FIG. 3, vertical plate-like second engaging means 32 is suspended from the front wall portion of the hanging wall, and the second engaging means is detachably engaged with the first engaging means 18. Yes. By releasing the engagement of the first engaging means 18 and the second engaging means 32, the lid 20 can be opened as shown in FIG.

  A rectangular guide groove 36 that is long in the left-right direction is opened at a substantially central portion of the top wall 22 of the lid 20 as shown by a dotted line in FIG. The guide groove 36 has two longitudinal inner edges 37 for guiding leg pieces, which will be described later, and two short-side inner edges 38 for regulating the movement width of the leg pieces.

  The sheet-like laminate 40 is placed on the bottom wall 6 and occupies substantially the entire bottom wall portion excluding the first inclined wall portion 6a in the illustrated example. The sheet-like material stack 40 is a stack of a plurality of sheet-like materials 42 separated from each other. As shown in FIG. 4, four positioning projections 10 bite into the front and rear sides of a rectangular sheet-like material stack 40 as viewed from above, and the sheet-like material is rubbed by friction with an elastic plate described later. The laminate itself is kept from moving. However, since the biting width is slight, it does not hinder the removal of one sheet-like object 42. The friction coefficient between the sheet-like materials 42 is smaller than the friction coefficient between the sheet-like material and the synthetic resin (top wall) and the friction coefficient between the sheet-like material and the elastic plate (such as sponge). Is desirable. As shown in FIG. 2, it is desirable that a certain gap exists between the sheet-like laminate 40 and the opening 16 in the initial state. For example, the sheet-like object 42 is prevented from protruding from the opening 16 when the operation member 44 is moved due to an impact or an erroneous operation when the container is dropped on the floor.

  The operation member 44 is attached to the top wall 22 of the lid 20. The operation member 44 is formed by an operation portion 46 and a single leg piece 48.

  In the illustrated example, the operation unit 46 is a horizontal plate that is horizontally long in the left-right direction, and is slidably placed on the top surface of the top wall 22. The edge of the horizontal plate near the opening is raised slightly to form a finger pad. In the initial state shown in FIG. 2, the horizontal plate is installed near the end of the top wall 22 on the side opposite to the opening 16, and moves toward the opening 16 by sliding as shown in FIG. 9. However, the configuration of the operation unit can be changed as appropriate.

  The leg piece 48 enters the sheet-like material storage box 2 from the back surface of the operation portion 46 through the guide groove 36. The front and rear ends of the leg piece 48 are in sliding contact with the inner edge 37 in the longitudinal direction of the guide groove so that the operation portion 46 can be stably slid in the left-right direction. Also, the left and right surfaces of the leg piece 48 are in contact with the inner edge 38 of the guide groove in the short direction, thereby limiting the sliding range of the operation portion. In the illustrated example, the leg piece is a vertical plate that is long in the front-rear direction, and its base portion is slightly narrowed compared to the tip portion of the vertical plate, and the guide groove 36 is locked to the constricted portion 48a, so The upper part is prevented from being pulled out. The leg piece 48 is fitted into an engagement hole of an elastic plate, which will be described later, and functions as an abutment piece that compresses the elastic plate in a bellows shape as shown in FIG. Therefore, the front and rear width of the leg piece 48 is preferably long enough to be deformed over the entire front and rear width of the deformed portion of the elastic plate.

  The elastic plate 52 is formed of a soft material that is flexible and elastically deformable, and is a rectangular horizontal plate as viewed from above as shown in FIG. The elastic plate is attached to the back surface of the top wall 22 with both front and rear ends pressed against the hanging wall of the sheet storage box. One end of the elastic plate 52 in the left-right direction is locked to the stopper 28 as a fixed end 54. The elastic plate portion excluding the fixed end portion 54 is divided into three by two cut lines 56, 56 extending in parallel in the left-right direction from the end portion on the opposite side to the fixed end portion. A plate portion between the cut lines with respect to the side portion 58 is formed in a movable plate portion 60 that moves freely.

  The movable plate portion 60 is provided with a long engagement hole in the front-rear direction as an engagement portion 62 with the operation member. The leg piece 48 of the operation member is inserted into the engagement hole, and the elastic plate portion (deformation portion) 64 between the engagement portion 62 and the fixed end portion 54 is shown in FIG. As shown, it is configured to bend and deform. The movable plate portion 60 is installed at the center position in the front-rear direction of the sheet-like laminate so that the frictional force acts on the sheet-like object 42 symmetrically in the front-back direction. The left and right lengths of the elastic plate portions of the engaging portion 62 and the fixed end portion 54 are such that when the leg piece 48 is moved from one end of the guide groove 36 to the other end, the elastic plate portion is bent and deformed to form a sheet shape. Designed to reach the bottom wall of the storage box. The front-rear width of the movable plate portion 60 is set so that the frictional force between the deformed portion of the movable plate portion and the sheet-like material 42 can pull the single sheet-like material to the opening 16.

  The thickness of the elastic plate 52 is such that the frictional force is such that the sheet-like material 42 can be pulled out toward the opening 16 in a state where the elastic plate is bent as shown in FIGS. Set to the extent that you can get between. The length of the deformed portion 64 of the elastic plate is determined so that the deformed portion that is bent and deformed when the operation member 44 is slid the maximum width as shown in FIG. 9 reaches the vicinity of the bottom wall 6 of the sheet-like object storage box. Good.

  Between the elastic plate 52 and the sheet-like material laminate 40, a play A necessary for the movable plate portion to deform into a bellows shape (including the waveform of FIG. 7 and the hook shape of FIG. 9) is taken. This play is designed to a size that allows the movable plate portion to be refracted at an appropriate interval according to the thickness of the elastic plate 52.

  The structure of the elastic plate 52 of this embodiment is a preferred example. Depending on the shape and dimensions of the sheet-like material, the cut line is omitted, and a single piece that causes the entire length of the elastic plate in the front-rear direction is bent. You may form in a flat plate. Further, the fixed end portion 54 is not limited to locking itself with a stopper, and the front and rear side edges of the elastic plate continuous with the fixed end portion may be fixed.

  The elastic plate 52 is made of a porous material that is soft and light like a sponge and has many bubbles. In particular, when an open-cell type material having a large shrinkage is used, a soft elastic force (clamping force) can be exhibited over a wide shrinkage range. Suitable examples are urethane foam and polyethylene foam. The elastic plate can also be formed of other materials that regularly refract at regular intervals. For example, a soft synthetic resin plate having a plurality of refractive lines in the front-rear direction may be used.

  According to the above configuration, when the operation member 44 is moved from the state of FIG. 2 to the opening 16 side, the movable plate portion 60 linked to the leg piece 48 of the operation member moves in the same direction. On the other hand, since the fixed end portion does not move, the deformed portion 64 between the fixed end portion 54 and the leg piece 48 is deformed. Since there is play A between the elastic plate 52 and the sheet-like material stack 40, when the operation member 44 is slid, the deformed portion 64 of the elastic plate 52 bends downward, and the number of the deformed portions in the longitudinal direction. Refraction occurs at the location, and deforms into a bellows shape.

Initial The use state, the operation member 44 is slid, it may be moved until the middle from the beginning (the left edge of the drawing) E ₁ of the guide groove 36 of the leg 48 as shown in FIG. Then, the deformed portion 64 of the elastic plate first bends downward as a whole, and then refracts at a plurality of refraction points F (see FIG. 8) and deforms into a waveform. In this state, the elastic plate portion between the refraction points F is bent and further left to bend, so that the deformed portion 16 of the elastic plate is softly pressed against the upper surface of the sheet-like laminate. Then, the uppermost sheet-like material in the sheet-like material laminate is pulled in the sliding direction of the operation member 44 together with the deformed portion, and the leading portion of the sheet-like material protrudes to the outside through the opening 16. What is necessary is just to pick up this front part and to draw out a sheet-like thing. When the hand is released from the operation member 44, the operation member 44 returns to the original position by the restoring force of the deformed portion 64 of the elastic plate.

In a state where the amount of storage of the sheet is running low, from the beginning E ₁ end (right end in the drawing) of the guide groove 36 of the leg 48 as shown in FIG. 9 is moved to the E _2. Then, the deformed portion 64 of the elastic plate is deformed into a bowl shape and reaches near the bottom wall, and comes into contact with the remaining sheet-like material 42. In this state, the sheet-like object 42 is pulled in the sliding direction of the operation member 44, and the leading end of the sheet-like object reaches the opening 16 along the second inclined wall portion 22a and further protrudes outward. What is necessary is just to pull out this front part further outward.
