Description

  The present invention relates to a lid member, and more particularly to a foldable lid member.

  Conventionally, as a lid member used for containers and boxes whose upper surface is opened, such as a trash container, a rectangular lower frame that covers the opening of a waste collection container and an opening that overlaps with the lower frame is the same as the lower frame. It consists of a food tray that is shaped upside down, or a cover member that is either a roofed roof type or a gable roof type, and the covering member is a cover that is provided on the beam in the upper center so that it can be opened and closed by a hinge. Other than the plate and cover plate, it is made up of perforated plates and mesh plates, and the locking mechanism attached to the lower frame and cover member with a hinge, or the overlapping portion of the cover plate and lower frame is locked. (Patent Document 1).

  Such a lid member prevents eating damage to birds and animals, prevents dive into the waste collection container due to the weight of snow, and prevents dumping of waste into a third party waste collection container unrelated to installation. It is very effective in that it can be done.

  However, since this lid member is used by being fixed to a container such as a container or a box, it is difficult to attach or remove the lid member as needed, and it is also inconvenient to carry. There was a problem. Furthermore, since a net plate that is basically used for a hard material is used, there is a problem that it cannot be used unless it has a size that matches the container.

JP 2007-186343 A

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of these problems, and an object thereof is to provide a lid member that is held in a gable shape only by an operation of spreading despite being foldable and convenient to carry. To do. It is another object of the present invention to provide a lid member that can be used even if there is a slight difference in size from the container.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention employs the following means.

The lid member according to the present invention is
A lid member covering the opening of the container having a rectangular opening,
A top plate that is formed in a gable shape and can be folded at the ridge,
The top plate portion has a gable side surface portion and a flat side surface portion that are substantially parallel to the outer periphery of the top plate portion in a state where the top plate portion is arranged in a gable shape,
The top plate has a rigidity capable of maintaining a planar shape,
The rigid member is arrange | positioned at the one side or both sides of the downward perpendicular in the said wife side side part of the said ridge part, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The lid member according to the present invention is provided with the wife side surface portion so as to be a flat surface in a state where the top plate portion is disposed in a gable shape. Therefore, the wife side surface portion prevents the top plate portions on both sides of the ridge portion from spreading beyond a certain level. Therefore, the lid member of the present invention can be held in a gable shape simply by expanding the lid member, and functions as a gable-type lid. Therefore, the contents in the container can be prevented from being eaten by birds and animals, and rain, snow or dust can be effectively prevented from entering the box or container. Moreover, since the rigid member is arrange | positioned in the one side or both sides of the downward perpendicular from the ridge part in the wife side surface part, it can reduce that a wife side side part becomes a wrinkle, or it bends in an unexpected part. . Moreover, the gable shape of a top-plate part can be maintained more reliably because the rigid member is arrange | positioned. On the other hand, since the rigid member is not disposed on the lower vertical line itself that becomes the fold line when folded, the rigid member can be folded without being obstructed when folded.

  In the lid member according to the present invention, the rigid member may be a flat plate. When the top plate of the lid member is folded in half by using the rigid member as a flat plate, the flat plate folds inward while maintaining the flat state of the wife side surface, so the wife side surface Efficiently folds inward, effectively preventing folding at unexpected positions. On the other hand, when the top plate portion is widened, the wife side surface portion naturally becomes a vertical plane due to the weight of the flat plate. Therefore, if the wife side surface portion of the lid member is disposed below, it can be used as a naturally spreading lid member. In addition, when the top plate is widened, since the plane plate is arranged on one side or both sides of the downward perpendicular of the ridge portion of the wife side surface portion, the vicinity of the ridge portion of the top plate portion can be supported by the plane plate, The cover member can be prevented from being crushed, and a more durable cover member can be provided.

  Furthermore, in the lid member according to the present invention, the plane side plate is disposed on both sides of the downward perpendicular of the ridge on the side surface of the wife side, and the plane plates on both sides are parallel to each other. In order to be able to arrange | position, the space | interval for the thickness of 2 sheets or more of the said flat board may be provided between the said flat boards on both sides. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the wife side surface portion having a certain area from being bent by the wide flat plate. Therefore, the peripheral side surface portion on the wife side is not easily wrinkled, and it is prevented from being bent at an unintended portion. In addition, by providing an interval of two or more flat plate thicknesses between the flat plates on both sides, when the lid member is folded, the flat plate is arranged in a folded state inside, so that Even when the flat plates are attached, the flat plates on both sides do not interfere with each other and interfere with folding.

  Furthermore, the lid member according to the present invention may be characterized in that a bar-like or flat plate-like support member is arranged at the lower end portion of the flat side surface portion. By adopting such a configuration, it is easy to maintain the flat form without bending the flat side surface portion. Further, the flat side surface portion easily becomes vertical due to the weight of the support rod.

  Furthermore, a hook may be provided in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the wife side surface portion and the flat side surface portion. By adopting such a configuration, the lid member can be reliably attached to a container such as a container or a box, and the possibility of being blown away by wind or the like can be reduced.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiments and drawings described below exemplify a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used for the purpose of limiting to these configurations. In addition, the same or similar code | symbol is attached | subjected to the corresponding component in each figure. In addition, in this specification and a claim, since the form of a cover member is similar in shape to a gable roof, a position equivalent to a gable roof will be described with the same name as an explanation of the location, position, etc. .

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the lid member 100 according to the first embodiment includes a top plate portion 10, a wife side surface portion 50 that covers the periphery of the top plate portion 10, a flat side surface portion 40, and a hook 60. The lid member 100 is made of a soft resin sheet as a whole, and has flexibility except for a portion given rigidity by various members to be described later, and can be bent or folded freely. .

  The top plate portion 10 is formed in a gable shape in which the left top plate portion 11 and the right top plate portion 12 on both sides of the ridge portion are respectively arranged on the slope. As shown in the AA cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, the top plate portion 10 uses cardboard plastic as the core material 13, and the core material 13 is covered with an exterior sheet 14 made of a soft resin sheet. With this core material, the top panel 10 has such a rigidity that it can maintain the shape of the gable roof even if it is covered with some snow. Moreover, since both surfaces are covered with the exterior sheet 14, the top plate portion 10 which is resistant to rain and dust can be obtained. Further, the core member 13 is provided with a thin portion 15 a between the left top plate portion 11 and the right top plate portion 12 at a position corresponding to the ridge portion 15. Therefore, it can be folded until the left top plate part 11 and the right top plate part 12 are parallel to each other.

  In addition, as a form of the top-plate part 10, it is not necessarily limited to the form mentioned above, The left-side top-plate part 11 and the right-side top-plate part 12 have the rigidity which can maintain a planar shape, and the ridge part 15 The material and form are not particularly limited as long as it can be bent. For example, as the core member 13, a plastic plate, a wooden plate, or the like may be used in addition to cardboard plastic. Further, the exterior sheet 14 is not particularly limited, and various materials can be adopted as long as they are flexible and cannot be easily broken. Moreover, as a form of the top plate part 10, as shown in FIG. 2A, the core members 13 inserted into the left top plate part 11 and the right top plate part 12 are produced as separate bodies, and both sides of the ridge part 15 are formed. Each of the core members 13a and 13b may be disposed on the surface. Since only the exterior sheet 14 is present in the ridge portion 15 and the core member 13 is not disposed, the ridge portion 15 is not easily bent due to the rigidity of the core member 13 as described above. The right top plate 12 can be folded in parallel. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the core material 13 made of corrugated cardboard plastic may be exposed without attaching the exterior sheet 14 to a part of the flat surface portion of the top plate portion 10.

  A side surface made of a soft resin sheet is formed around the top plate portion 10. The side surface includes a flat side surface portion 40 disposed on the flat side and a wife side surface portion 50 disposed on the wife side.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the flat side surface portion 40 is a quadrangular side surface portion provided on the eaves side of the top plate portion 10. As shown in the AA cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, the lower end portion of the flat side surface portion 40 is folded and formed into a bag shape, and a rigid straight bar or flat plate is formed inside the bag shape. The support member 41 is inserted and can be bent when a force is applied. However, when the force is removed, the support member 41 easily returns to a linear shape. Thereby, the flat side part 40 tends to hold | maintain a linear state in a horizontal direction. As the support member 41, it is desirable to use a metal wire or piano wire having high rigidity.

  The wife side surface portion 50 is a side surface portion formed of a pentagon that forms a wife surface when the top plate portion 10 has a gable shape. The wife side surface portion 50 is formed so as to be flat when the top plate portion 10 has a gable shape, and therefore, the right side top plate portion 12 and the left top plate portion 11 spread over a certain amount (that is, The right top plate portion 12 and the left top plate portion 11 can maintain a gable roof shape. As shown in FIG. 3, rigid members 51 are provided on both sides of the downward normal α from the ridge 15 to the wife side surface portion 50 from the vicinity of the upper end to the vicinity of the lower end. The rigid member 51 is a flat plate made of a plate-like cardboard plastic, which makes it difficult for unexpected wrinkles to be generated or bent from the ridge portion 15 to the wife side surface portion 50 in the vicinity of the downward normal α. Moreover, the gable shape of the top plate part 10 can be more reliably maintained. The rigid member 51 made of a flat plate is attached to the rigid member 51 and the rigid member 51 arranged on both sides of the lower vertical line with a distance γ of at least twice the thickness β of the rigid member 51. Thereby, the rigid member 51 arrange | positioned at both sides can be folded up in parallel, when folding (from FIG. 5A to FIG. 6B). By providing the rigid member 51, when the top plate portion 10 is expanded, the wife side surface portion 50 is naturally in a vertical plane state due to the weight of the flat plate. Further, when the top plate 10 is expanded, the rigid member 51 is disposed on one side or both sides of the downward perpendicular α of the ridge portion 15 of the wife side surface portion 50 of the top plate 10. The ridge portion 15 and the vicinity thereof can be supported by the rigid member 51, and the lid member 100 can be made to be stronger and can prevent the lid member 100 from being crushed.

  Further, the flat side surface portion 40 and the wife side surface portion 50 are formed so as to surround the periphery by connecting the side end portions. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 5A, the connecting portion 45 between the flat side surface portion 40 and the wife side surface portion 50 is joined so that the back surfaces of the respective resin sheets face each other. By adopting such a configuration, when the lid member 100 is folded, the wife side surface portion 50 is easily folded inward.

  And as shown in FIG. 1, the hook 60 is attached via elastic members, such as rubber | gum, from the lower end part of the connection part of the flat side part 40 and the wife side part 50. As shown in FIG. In the first embodiment, the hook-shaped S-shaped form is illustrated, but the form of the hook 60 is not particularly limited.

  The lid member 100 manufactured as described above is used as follows. FIG. 4 shows a state where the lid member 100 is used as a lid of the container 200 that is slightly smaller than the lid member 100 (open state). In this open state, the flat side surface portion 40 is spread outward by the container 200 below, so that the wife side surface portion 50 is stretched flat. Therefore, the left side top plate part 11 and the right side top plate part 12 cannot be further expanded, and a gable-like form can be maintained. Therefore, even if some heavy objects are placed on the top plate 10 in this state, this form can be maintained, and even if rain, snow or dust falls on the top plate 10, it can be discharged to the outside. it can. In addition, since a rigid support member 41 is inserted at the lower end of the flat side surface portion 40, if a portion of the flat side surface portion 40 is pressed outward, the side of the wife side surface portion 50 The side end portion is pulled to ensure a flat state, and the gable state of the top plate portion 10 can be maintained. Therefore, even if the container 200 is shorter than the flat side surface portion 40, the length β can be used. Even when the width δ of the container 200 is slightly longer than the width of the wife side surface portion 50, the support member 41 is curved to some extent, so that the flat side surface portion 40 expands to function as a lid of the container 200. To do. As described above, the lid member 100 according to the present embodiment can be used without problems even when the length direction β is longer than the container 200, and the width direction δ may be slightly shorter than the container 200. It can be used as the lid member 100. Thus, the lid member 100 according to the present embodiment can be used without any problem even if the size of the container is somewhat different, and is excellent in versatility.

  The procedure for storing the lid member 100 from this state of use is as follows. First, the hook 60 (not shown) that is hooked is removed from the container 200, and the lid member 100 is removed from the container 200. Then, from the expanded state as shown in FIG. 5A, either or both of the flat side surface portion 40 and the wife side surface portion 50 of the lid member 100 are folded inward as shown in FIG. 5B. When the flat side surface portion 40 is first folded inward, the connecting portions 45 of the side end portions of the flat side surface portion 40 and the wife side surface portion 50 are joined so that the back surfaces of the respective resin sheets face each other. Therefore, since the wife side surface portion 50 is slightly urged inward, the wife side surface portion 50 is naturally folded inward. On the other hand, when the wife side surface portion 50 is folded inward first, the flat side surface portion 40 is pulled and folded. Therefore, even when folded from either the flat side surface portion 40 or the wife side surface portion 50, the flat side surface portion 40 is disposed outside the wife side surface portion 50. In this case, since the rigid member 51 is inserted into the wife side surface portion 50, as shown in FIG. And it is less likely to be bent at unintended parts. That is, wrinkles and unintended bent portions are stretched by the rigid member 51, and the wife side surface portion 50 is properly folded inside the flat side surface portion 40 at a predetermined fold line (a mountain fold line or a valley fold line in FIG. 5B). It becomes easy to be. When the left top plate portion 11 and the right top plate portion 12 are folded from this state, as shown in FIG. 6A, the wife side surface portion 50 is further folded inward to a state parallel to the top plate portion 10. To go. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, the two rigid members 51 are arranged in parallel with each other. At this time, since a sufficient interval is formed between the two rigid members 51 to arrange them in parallel, the two rigid members 51 can be easily brought into a parallel state. Then, the entire lid member 100 is folded into a flat plate shape with the left top plate portion 11 and the right top plate portion 12 being parallel to each other. Thus, the three-dimensional form of the lid member 100 can be stored in a folded state. Further, by providing the rigid member 51, the rigid member 51 is arranged on the back surface of the top end portion 10 along the ridge portion 15 when folded. The fold line is also attached at the position of the lower perpendicular α. Therefore, as the number of times of use increases, the gusset becomes bent and it is always easy to be folded in a suitable form. In addition, what is necessary is just to perform to the reverse of the process mentioned above, when using as the cover member 100 again.

  Even if the lid member 100 manufactured as described above is a relatively large lid member 100, the lid member 100 can be stored compactly in a planar shape and can be easily transported. Moreover, since it can mainly be produced using a plastic member or a flexible resin sheet, a very light lid member can be obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various modes as long as it belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.

  As shown in the above-described embodiment, it can be industrially used as a lid member for a container or the like.
