However, in the plastic container described in Patent Document 1, for example, the contained articles are stored in the container body until the container body becomes a pan, the inner wall of the container body is pulled during the drawer operation, or the inner wall of the container body is pulled. When an impact is applied to the container body, the inner wall of the container body may be deformed and the partition plate may come off from the insertion rib of the container body.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container in which the partition plate does not easily come off from the container body.

The invention according to claim 1 made to solve this problem is a container in which the container body is partitioned by a partition plate, and the container body is a side wall portion and a pair of partition supports formed on the inner surface of the side wall portion. It is divided by a portion and a pair of partition support portions facing each other, and has a partition insertion portion into which a partition plate is inserted and a locking portion formed in a side wall portion. The partition plate is inserted into the partition insertion portion. The container is provided with a locked portion that is locked to the locking portion in the locked state , the container can be stacked up and down, and the container body is adjacent to the bottom wall portion and the outer surface of the bottom wall portion. The adjacent joint portion is provided with a joint portion, and the adjacent joint portion is characterized in that it is adjacent to at least one of the non-opposing surfaces of the pair of partition support portions of the lower stage side container main body at the time of stacking.

The invention according to claim 2 is the container according to claim 1, wherein the locking portion is a state in which the upper end portion of the side wall portion of the container body adjacent to the pair of partition support portions and the partition insertion portion is cut off. The locked portion is provided at the upper end of the side surface of the partition plate, and when the locked portion is locked to the locked portion, the outer surface of the locked portion is the side wall portion of the container body. It is characterized by being substantially flush with the outer surface.

The invention according to claim 3 is the container according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the adjacent portion includes a rib erected from the bottom wall portion, and the lower end surface of the rib is an adjacent lower stage at the time of stacking. It is characterized in that it is inclined so as to approach the bottom wall portion as it goes away from the position of the partition support portion of the side container main body.

In the container of the invention according to claim 1, it is between a pair of partition support portions formed on the inner surface of the side wall portion of the container body, and is a partition insertion portion partitioned by facing surfaces of the pair of partition support portions. On the other hand, the partition plate is inserted. As a result, the container body is partitioned by the partition plate. In the state where the partition plate is inserted into the partition insertion portion, the locked portion of the partition plate is locked to the locking portion formed on the side wall portion of the container body. By such locking, the side wall portion of the container body is prevented from moving to the outside of the container body and opened, and is stabilized. Therefore, in the container of the invention according to claim 1, the partition plate is difficult to be removed from the partition insertion portion of the container body.

When a plurality of containers of the invention according to claim 1 are pulled out in a state of being displayed on a shelf or the like, the side wall portion of the container body is outward of the container body due to the above-mentioned locking of the locked portion and the locked portion. Since it is prevented from moving to open, that is, the side wall portion of the container body from swelling, it is possible to smoothly pull out from such a shelf or the like, and during the pulling-out work, the inside of the container body. The inclusions are prevented from moving beyond the dividers from one containment space to the other.

In the container of the invention according to claim 2, the upper end of the side surface of the partition plate is opposed to the locking portion in which the upper end portion of the side wall portion of the container body adjacent to the pair of partition support portions and the partition insertion portion is cut off. The locked portion provided in the portion is locked. When the locked portion of the partition plate is locked to the locked portion of the container body in this way, the outer surface of the locked portion becomes substantially flush with the outer surface of the side wall portion of the container body. Therefore, the containers of the invention according to claim 2 can be efficiently arranged and displayed on a shelf or the like, and when a plurality of containers are displayed in a state of being displayed on the shelves or the like and pulled out, the locked portion of the partition plate becomes locked. Since it is prevented from being caught in the adjacent container, it can be pulled out more smoothly from such a shelf or the like.

In the container of the invention according to claim 1 , in the upper and lower stacked state, the adjacent portion provided on the outer surface of the bottom wall portion of the upper stage side container body is a non-opposing surface of the pair of partition support portions of the lower stage side container body. Of these, they are adjacent to at least one of the surfaces. Therefore, in the container of the invention according to claim 1 , when the upper and lower layers are stacked, the pair of partition support portions of the lower container body move in the direction of being separated from each other by the adjacent portion of the upper container body. Since it is prevented from opening, the partition plate is more difficult to come off from the partition insertion portion of the container body.

Further, in the container of the invention according to claim 1 , when the upper and lower layers are stacked, the adjacent portion of the upper container body is positioned by the pair of partition support portions of the lower container body, and the lower container body is positioned. Since the main body and the upper container body are prevented from rattling, the upper and lower stacking states are stable.

When the container of the invention according to claim 3 is in a vertically stacked state, the lower end surface of the rib provided in the adjacent portion of the upper container body is the partition support portion of the lower container body adjacent to the adjacent portion. As it moves away from the position, it is inclined so as to approach the bottom wall portion where the adjacent portion is provided. Therefore, in the container of the invention according to claim 3, when the upper container body mounted on the lower container body (partition support portion) is slid, the upper container is opposed to the partition support portion of the lower container body. Since the lower end surface of the rib of the main body (adjacent portion) can slide smoothly, workability is good when stacking up and down.

Hereinafter, the container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings based on the embodiment of the present invention. The container of the present embodiment includes a container body and a partition plate, and is formed by molding using a resin such as polypropylene as a material.

(1) Outline of the container body As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container body 10 has a bottom wall portion 20, a pair of long side side wall portions 30, 30, a rear short side side wall portion 40, and a front surface portion. It is provided with a side wall portion 50 on the short side.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the direction of the reference numeral D1 indicates a vertical direction (that is, a height direction of the container body 10). The direction of the reference numeral D2 indicates the front-rear direction (that is, the width direction of the bottom wall portion 20 and the long side side wall portion 30). The direction of the reference numeral D3 indicates a left-right direction (that is, a width direction of the rear short side side wall portion 40 and the front short side side side wall portion 50). The directions D1, D2, and D3 are orthogonal to each other. These points are the same in FIGS. 3 to 18 described later.

The bottom wall portion 20 has a rectangular shape. In the bottom wall portion 20, a pair of long side side wall portions 30 and 30 extend upward in the vertical direction D1 from a pair of opposite long sides, and a pair of opposite short sides extend to a rear short side side side wall portion 40. The front side wall portion 50 on the short side extends upward in the vertical direction D1.

The pair of long-side side wall portions 30, 30, the rear short-side side side wall portion 40, and the front short-side side side wall portion 50 are moved up and down above the container body 10 from the viewpoint of drafting during mold forming. As it goes along the direction D1, it is slightly inclined toward the outside of the container body 10.

Edge peripheral ribs 24, vertical ribs 26, and horizontal ribs 28A and 28B are formed on the outer surface 22 of the bottom wall portion 20. The edge peripheral rib 24 is erected along the rectangular edge portion of the bottom wall portion 20. The vertical rib 26 extends from the inside of the peripheral rib 24 starting from a position that bisects the short side of the peripheral rib 24 (that is, the short side of the bottom wall portion 20), and is the long side of the peripheral rib 24. It is erected along (that is, the front-rear direction D2 parallel to the long side of the bottom wall portion 20). The lateral ribs 28A and 28B are extended from the inside of the peripheral rib 24 starting from a position that divides the long side of the peripheral rib 24 (that is, the long side of the bottom wall portion 20) into three equal parts, and are extended from the inside of the peripheral rib 24. It is erected along the short side (that is, the left-right direction D3 parallel to the short side of the bottom wall portion 20). As a result, the vertical ribs 26 and the horizontal ribs 28A and 28B are in a state of being orthogonal to each other in the peripheral ribs 24. In the following description, when the horizontal ribs 28A and 28B are generically described without distinction, the horizontal ribs 2
Notated as 8.

On the other hand, on the outside of the peripheral rib 24, adjacent portions 60, 60 are formed on the outer surface 22 of the bottom wall portion 20 at positions facing both ends of the lateral rib 28A. This point is the same for the horizontal rib 28B. As a result, each adjacent portion 60 is provided at a position that divides the long side of the peripheral rib 24 (that is, the long side of the bottom wall portion 20) into three equal parts. A detailed description of the adjacent portion 60 will be described later.

The rear short side side wall portion 40 and the front short side side side wall portion 50 have both side surfaces connected to both sides of the pair of long side side side wall portions 30, 30.

As a result, the upper side of the container body 10 is opened.

The pair of long side side wall portions 30, 30 are at the same height as the rear short side side side wall portion 40, except for a portion located in the vicinity of the front short side side side wall portion 50. On the other hand, the height of the front side wall portion 50 is lower than the height of the rear short side side wall portion 40. Therefore, of the upper end surfaces 32 of the pair of long side side wall portions 30, 30, the inclined portion 32A located in the vicinity of the front short side side side wall portion 50 is moved forward along the front-rear direction D2. It is inclined so as to go downward in the vertical direction D1. As a result, the front opening 14 which is a part of the opening 12 becomes the inclined portion 32A of each upper end surface 32 of the pair of long side side wall portions 30 and 30 and the upper end surface 52 of the front short side side side wall portion 50. It is formed by being surrounded, and the upper part on the front side of the container body 10 is open.

The upper end surface 42 of the rear short side side wall portion 40 and the upper end surface 52 of the front short side side wall portion 50 are outward from the rear short side side side wall portion 40 and the front short side side side wall portion 50 to the outside of the container body 10. It constitutes a part of the protruding flange part.

The pair of long side side wall portions 30, 30 are provided with partition mechanisms 70, 70 at positions that divide the long sides into three equal parts.

(4) Structure of Containers for Stacking The container 1 of the present embodiment can be stacked up and down. In the following, the lower container and the upper container at the time of stacking will be described, but detailed description will be omitted by assigning the same reference numerals to the portions substantially common to the container 1. Further, the English letter "L" is attached to the code for the lower container, and the English letter "U" is attached to the code for the upper container.

At the time of stacking, as shown in FIG. 14, the container body 10U of the upper container 1U is placed on the container body 10L of the lower container 1L. At that time, as shown in FIG. 15, in the lower container 1L, the locked portion 138L of the partition plate 110L is locked to the locking portion 76L of the container body 10L. The upper surface 21U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U is mounted on the second upper surface 120L constituting the locked portion 138L in the state.

Further, the side surfaces 29U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container main body 10U of the upper container 1U face each other with respect to the inclined surface 122L of the partition plate 110L of the lower container 1L in the left-right direction D3. Further, the horizontal rib 28U and the edge peripheral rib 24U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U face each other in the vertical direction D1 with respect to the first upper surface 118L of the partition plate 110L of the lower container 1L. This point is the same for the vertical rib 26U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. As a result, when the upper container 1U is stacked on the lower container 1L, the partition plate 110L of the lower container 1L has a vertical rib 26U, a horizontal rib 28U, and a peripheral edge of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. It does not hit the rib 24U.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, on the upper surface 82L of the partition support portion 72L of the lower container 1L, the upper surface 21U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U is mounted.

On the second upper surface 120L of the partition plate 110L inserted into the portion 74L), the upper surface 21U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U is mounted. As a result, the stacking of the upper container 1U with respect to the lower container 1L is stable.

However, if the stacking of the upper container 1U with respect to the lower container 1L is stable, the upper surface 21U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U is the container body 10L in the lower container 1L. It may be placed only on the upper surface 82L of any one of the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L, or the partition plate 110L inserted between the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L (that is, the partition insertion portion 74L). It may be mounted only on the second upper surface 120L of the above.

At the time of stacking, the side surfaces 29U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U are spaced apart from the first inclined surface 84L of the partition support portion 72L of the lower container 1L. They face each other in the left-right direction D3. As a result, in a state where the upper container 1U is stacked on the lower container 1L, each partition support portion 72L of the lower container 1L has a vertical rib 26U, a horizontal rib 28U, and a horizontal rib 28U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. It does not hit the edge rib 24U.

Further, in the lower container 1L in which the upper container 1U is stacked, the flank 34 of the long side side wall portion 30L of the container body 10L is connected to the long side side wall portion 30U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. Prevents interference.

As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, in a state where the upper container 1U is stacked on the lower container 1L, the partition holding portion 68U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U , The partition plate 110L inserted between the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L and the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L (that is, the partition insertion portion 74L) is loosely fitted. There is. As a result, in the container body 10U of the upper container 1U, the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L do not face each other with respect to the facing ribs 62U and 62U of the adjacent portions 60U. 80L are adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction D2.

Further, the lower end surface 66U of the inclined rib 64U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U is 80L of the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L. As it moves away from the container, it is inclined so as to approach the bottom wall portion 20U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U.

In this way, at the time of stacking, the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L becomes the partition holding portion 68U constituting the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. It is loosely fitted and is surrounded by a pair of facing ribs 62U and 62U, an upper surface 21U, and a side surface 29 that form an adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. Therefore, in a state where the upper container 1U is stacked on the lower container 1L, the lower container 1L is opened even though the front upper portion of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L is opened by the front opening 14L. The stacking of the upper container 1U with respect to the above is stable.

As a result, the container body 10 is partitioned by the partition plate 110. In the state where the partition plate 110 is inserted into the partition insertion portion 74, the locked portion 138 of the partition plate 110 is locked to the locking portion 76 formed on each long side side wall portion 30 of the container body 10. Will be done. By such locking, each long side side wall portion 30 of the container body 10 is prevented from moving to the outside of the container body 10 and opened, and is stabilized. Therefore, in the container 1 of the present embodiment, the partition plate 110 is difficult to be removed from the partition insertion portion 74 of the container main body 10.

Further, when a plurality of containers 1 of the present embodiment are pulled out in a state of being displayed on a shelf or the like, the side walls on each long side of the container body 10 are locked by the locking portion 76 and the locked portion 138 described above. Since it is prevented from moving to the outside of the portion 30 and opening, that is, the side wall portions 30 on each long side of the container main body 10 are prevented from swelling, it is possible to smoothly pull out from such a shelf or the like. During the withdrawal operation, the contents in the container body 10 are prevented from moving beyond the partition plate 110 from one storage space 140, 142, 144 to the other storage space 140, 142, 144.

In the container 1 of the present embodiment, the upper end 38 and the like of each long side side wall portion 30 of the container body 10 adjacent to the pair of partition support portions 72 and 72 and the partition insertion portion 74 are cut out. The locked portion 138 provided at the upper end portion 130 of the side side of the partition plate 110 is locked to the locking portion 76. In this way, when the locked portion 138 of the partition plate 110 is locked to the locked portion 76 of the container body 10, the third side surface 128 constituting the locked portion 138 and the left and right of each protruding portion 136 are engaged. The side surface on the direction D3 side (the outer side surface of the partition plate 110) is substantially flush with the outer surface 39 of the upper end portion 38 of the long side side wall portion 30. Therefore, the container 1 of the present embodiment can be efficiently arranged and displayed on a shelf or the like, and when a plurality of containers 1 are displayed in a state of being displayed on the shelf or the like and pulled out, the locked portion 138 of the partition plate 110 is placed. Since it is prevented from being caught in the adjacent container 1, it can be pulled out more smoothly from such a shelf or the like.

In the container 1 of the present embodiment, in the upper and lower stacked states, the opposing ribs 62U of the adjacent portions 60U provided on the outer surface 22U of the bottom wall portion 20U of the container body 10U of the upper stage side container 1U are the lower stage side container 1L. The container body 10L of the container body 10L is adjacent to each of the non-opposing surfaces 80L of the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L in the front-rear direction D2. Therefore, in the container 1 of the present embodiment, when the upper and lower layers are stacked, the pair of partition support portions 72L of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L are formed by the adjacent portion 60U of the container body 10U of the upper container 1U. Since the 72L is prevented from moving and opening in the direction away from each other (that is, the front-rear direction D2), the partition plate 110L becomes more difficult to come off from the partition insertion portion 74L of the container body 10L.

Further, when the upper and lower layers of the container 1 of the present embodiment are stacked, the pair of partition support portions 72L and 72L of the container body 10L of the lower container 1L causes the container 1 of the upper container 1U to be adjacent to the container body 10U.
