Utility Model Registration No. 3056903

However, the above-mentioned conventional organizer cases did not allow the layout inside to be changed.

The object of the present invention is to provide an organizer case that allows the layout inside to be easily changed.

The organizer case of the present invention is an organizer case having a partition wall, and further has a partition member that can be placed within the organizer case. The partition member has a partition plate that divides the interior of the organizer case and a hook portion that can be hooked onto at least one of the partition wall or the partition plate of another partition member different from the partition member. The organizer case of the present invention makes it possible to easily change the layout within the organizer case.

In the organizer case of the present invention, it is preferable that the partition member has a second partition plate different from the first partition plate, and the hook portion is provided on the second partition plate. In this case, the partition member can be stably positioned within the organizer case.

In the organizer case of the present invention, at least one of the outer and inner surfaces of the partition member is an inclined surface in which one of the outer and inner surfaces approaches the other as it approaches the side edge of the partition member, and it is preferable that a rib be provided at the bottom end of the inclined surface to compensate for the decrease in the inclined surface. In this case, the partition member can be positioned more stably within the organizer case.

In the organizing case of the present invention, when multiple partition members are attached to the partition wall, it is preferable that the upper ends of the multiple partition members form the same surface. In this case, it is possible to create visually unified partitions in the organizing space of the case body.

The organizer case of the present invention further includes a handle that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall. When the partition member is attached to the partition wall and the handle is pushed into the partition wall, the upper end of the handle and the upper end of the partition member form the same plane. In this case, when the handle is pushed in, a visually unified partition can be formed in the organization space of the case body.

The organizer case of the present invention has a partition wall, and the organizer case has legs that can be stored in the partition wall and further has a handle that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall. The partition wall and the legs have a handle stopper that restricts the handle from being pulled out, and a handle positioning part that positions the handle in a predetermined pull-out position. The organizer case of the present invention is portable and can be made compact when not in use.

In the organizer case of the present invention, the handle retention feature is composed of a partition wall-side protrusion provided on the inside of the partition wall and a handle wall-side protrusion provided on the leg that can come into contact with the partition wall-side protrusion when the handle is pulled out; the handle positioning feature is composed of a partition wall-side fitting provided on the inside of the partition wall and a handle wall-side fitting provided on the leg that can fit into the partition wall-side fitting when the handle is pulled out; and the handle-side fitting is preferably provided on an elastic piece formed by a notch formed in the leg, and the handle-side protrusion is positioned so that the notch provides a deflection margin for the handle-side protrusion. This simplifies the operations required to position and release the handle, and allows the handle to be easily attached to the partition wall.

In the organizer case of the present invention, it is preferable that the handle-side protrusion is provided on the side of the leg, and the handle-side fitting portion is provided on the front or rear surface of the leg. In this case, the thickness of the handle can be reduced, and the handle can be provided with a handle-retaining portion and a handle-positioning portion.

In the organizer case of the present invention, the legs have handle-side front and handle-side rear inclined surfaces that approach each other as they move upward, and the inside of the partition wall has partition-side front and partition-side rear inclined surfaces that slope downward and move away from each other. When the handle is pulled out to a position where it is restricted from being pulled out, it is preferable that the handle-side front inclined surface aligns with the partition-side front inclined surface and the handle-side rear inclined surface aligns with the partition-side rear inclined surface. In this case, it is possible to suppress back-and-forth shaking that may occur when the handle is pulled out.

The organizer case of the present invention has a partition wall, and the organizer case has legs that can be stored in the partition wall and further has a handle that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall, and the bottom wall of one organizer case can be placed on the top end of the peripheral wall of the other organizer case. The organizer case of the present invention is portable and can be made compact when not in use, and multiple organizer cases can be stored compactly.

The present invention provides an organizer case that allows the layout within the case to be easily changed.

The following describes an organizer case 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a front view showing the front of organizer case 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a side view showing the right side of organizer case 1. Figure 3 is a plan view showing organizer case 1 from above. Figure 3 is a plan view showing organizer case 1 from above.

Referring to Figure 3, the organizer case 1 is an organizer case having a partition wall 5. In this embodiment, the organizer case 1 has a case body 2. The case body 2 has a peripheral wall 3 and a bottom wall 4 that form the organizer space S, and a partition wall 5 that separates the organizer space S. The organizer case 1 also has a partition member 6 that can be placed within the organizer case 1. In this embodiment, the partition member 6 is a partition member that can be placed in the organizer space S. The partition member 6 has a partition plate 61 that separates the organizer case 1, and a hook portion 62 that can be hooked to at least either the partition wall 5 or the partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from the partition member 6. In this embodiment, the partition plate 61 is a partition plate that separates the organizer space S. The hook portion 62 is a hook portion that can be hooked to at least either the upper end of the partition wall 5 or the upper end of the partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from the partition member 6.

Figure 5 shows the case body 2 together with the handle 7. In this embodiment, the case body 2 is made of resin. In this embodiment, the case body 2 is an injection-molded product in which the resin is integrally molded inside a mold. An example of the resin is polypropylene.

An opening is formed inside the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3. The outer shape of the opening is defined by the inner edge of the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3. In this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 includes four side walls: a front wall 3a, a rear wall 3b, a right side wall 3c, and a left side wall 3d. The front wall 3a is a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the front shape of the case body 2 is rectangular, with its width in the left-right direction longer than its width in the up-down direction, as shown in FIG. 1. Referring next to FIG. 1, the rear wall 3b is also a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the rear shape of the case body 2 has the same shape as the front shape of the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 1. Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the right side wall 3c is also a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the right side shape of the case body 2 is rectangular, with its width in the front-to-back direction longer than its width in the up-down direction, as shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the right side of the case body 2 has a shape in which the front-to-rear width of the right side increases toward the top. Next, in this embodiment, the left side wall 3d is also a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the left side of the case body 2 also has the same shape as the right side of the case body 2, as shown in Figure 2. Therefore, the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment has a symmetrical shape in both the front-to-rear and left-to-right directions. In this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2 is formed from multiple plates. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 is formed by the edge of the plate and faces upward. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 is configured as an upper end that does not constitute a flange. Therefore, in this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 is, for example, a thin plate with a rectangular cylindrical shape, as shown in Figure 5. However, according to the present invention, the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 can also constitute a flange.

Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom wall 4 closes the lower opening of the peripheral wall 3. Referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the bottom wall 4 is a rectangular panel (plate) whose left-right width is greater than its front-to-rear width. In this embodiment, the area of the bottom wall 4 is greater than the area of the opening A3 (see FIG. 5) formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 3. This allows, for example, the bottom wall 4 of one of two case bodies 2 to be placed on the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 of the other case body 2. Furthermore, referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the bottom wall 4 has a convex portion 4a that extends annularly along the contour of the bottom wall 4 in a bottom view (plan view). The convex portion 4a is positioned inside the opening A3 of the peripheral wall 3 when one case body 2 is placed on the other case body 2. This allows the case bodies 2 to be stacked without misalignment when the bottom wall 4 of one case body 2 is placed on the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 of the other case body 2.

In addition, in this embodiment, the organizing space S is formed by the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3 and the inner surface of the bottom wall 4, as shown in Figure 5. Referring to Figure 5, in this embodiment, the partition wall 5 further divides the organizing space S into multiple organizing spaces (S1, S2). The lower sides of the organizing spaces (S1, S2) are closed by the bottom wall 4, and the opening A3 connects the upper sides of the organizing spaces (S1, S2) to the outside. In other words, the opening A3 functions as an opening for putting items in and taking them out, and the bottom wall 4 functions as a bottom wall that supports the items.

The partition wall 5 is continuous with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3 and with the inner surface of the bottom wall 4. In this embodiment, the partition wall 5 is a front-to-rear partition wall that divides the organization space S in the front-to-rear direction. In this embodiment, the partition wall 5 extends in the left-to-right direction. This divides the organization space S into a front storage space S1 and a rear storage space S2. In this embodiment, the organization space S can accommodate, for example, a 30 cm ruler in the left-to-right direction. This allows a 30 cm ruler to be stored and organized in either the front storage space S1 or the rear storage space S2 without the partition member 6 being placed. In this embodiment, the partition wall 5 is located in the center of the organization space S in the front-to-rear direction, as shown in FIG. 3. Also, referring to FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the partition wall 5 has a handle support portion 51 on which the handle 7 is located. The handle support portion 51 supports the handle 7 so that it can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5, as described below. The handle support portion 51 is connected to the bottom wall 4. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the partition wall 5 has two partition plate portions 52. Each of the two partition plate portions 52 is connected to the handle support portion 51 and the bottom wall 4. The partition plate portion 52 is a flat panel (plate). The partition plate portion 52 is disposed between the handle support portion 51 and the right side wall 3c (or the left side wall 3d), and is connected to both the handle support portion 51 and the right side wall 3c (or the left side wall 3d).

Figure 6 shows a storage case 1 in which one partition member 6 is disposed in the case body 2. The partition member 6 is configured as a separate member from the case body 2. In this embodiment, the partition member 6 is an injection-molded product formed integrally from the resin within a mold. Examples of the resin include polypropylene. The partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 onto the upper end of the partition wall 5 provided on the case body 2. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, the partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 onto the upper end 52e of one partition plate portion 52 from the front side of the partition wall 5. Referring to Figure 7, in this embodiment, the partition plate 61 of the partition plate portion 52 contacts the peripheral wall 3 and bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 when the partition member 6 is disposed in the storage space S. This allows the partition member 6 to be stably positioned within the organization space S of the case body 2.

Also, referring to Figure 7, in this embodiment, the hook portion 62 has a hook shape. Specifically, the hook portion 62 has a base 62a that can be placed on the upper end of the partition plate portion 52 when the partition member 6 is attached to the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5, and a tip portion 62b that is connected to the base portion 62a and extends downward from the base portion 62a. In this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is a plate-shaped hook portion. Specifically, in this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is a plate-shaped hook portion formed so that the tip portion 62b is bent relative to the base portion 62a.

Figure 8 is a perspective view showing the partition member 6 alone from above. In addition to the partition plate 61, the partition member 6 has a second partition plate 63 that is different from the first partition plate 61. In this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is provided on the second partition plate 63. Specifically, the second partition plate 63 extends downward from the base 62a of the hook portion 62. In this embodiment, the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is formed by the lower end 61eL of the first partition plate 61 and the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63. In this embodiment, the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63 coincides with the lower end 61eL of the first partition plate 61, forming the same flat surface. In other words, in this embodiment, the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is formed by a flat surface.

As shown in FIG. 7, the hook portion 62 hooks onto the partition portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 so that the partition portion 52 is sandwiched between the hook portion 62 and the second partition plate 63. This allows the partition member 6 to be stably positioned within the organizing case 1. Specifically, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organizing space S of the case body 2. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the partition member 6 is positioned in the organizing space S, the second partition plate 63 of the partition member 6 comes into contact with the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 together with the partition plate 61 of the partition member 6 (hereinafter also referred to as the "first partition plate 61"). This allows the partition member 6 to be more stably positioned within the organizing space S of the case body 2.

Referring to Figure 3, this embodiment relates to the partition member 6. In the partition member 6, the second partition plate 63 is connected to the first partition plate 61 so as to form an L-shape in a plan view. The L-shape is designed for ease of use. For example, if the second partition plate 63 is connected to the first partition plate 61 so as to form a T-shape in a plan view, the second partition plate 63 will extend in two directions from the first partition plate 61 as a base point. In this case, for example, when the partition member 6 is moved to the edge of the organization space S of the case main body 2 (a position adjacent to the inner surface of the peripheral wall 3), one side of the second partition plate 63 may form dead space between itself and the edge of the organization space S. In contrast, when the partition member 6 is L-shaped as in this embodiment, the second partition plate 63 extends in only one direction from the first partition plate 61 as a base point. This minimizes the formation of the dead space, even when the partition member 6 is positioned near the edge of the organization space S of the case body 2. Therefore, when the partition member 6 is L-shaped as in this embodiment, the organization space S of the case body 2 can be efficiently divided. However, according to the present invention, the partition member 6 can also be T-shaped. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second partition plate 63 is connected perpendicularly to the first partition plate 61 in a plan view, as shown in FIG. 3 . However, according to the present invention, the second partition plate 63 can also be connected at an angle to the first partition plate 61 in a plan view, as shown in FIG. 3 .

In this embodiment, at least one of the outer surface and inner surface of the partition member 6 may be configured as an inclined surface, with one of the outer surface and the inner surface approaching the other as it approaches the side edge of the partition member 6. In this case, it is preferable to provide a rib 64 at the lower end of at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface that forms the inclined surface to compensate for the decrease in thickness associated with the inclination of at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface.

When molding the partition member 6, at least one of the outer and inner surfaces of the partition member 6 may be tapered (inclined) to facilitate removal from the mold. In this case, the thickness of the partition member 6 becomes thinner due to the inclination of the tapered surface. Therefore, in the present invention, a rib 64 is provided at the lower end of at least one of the outer and inner surfaces, which form the inclined surface, to compensate for the loss in thickness associated with the inclination of at least one of the outer and inner surfaces, so that the thickness of the partition member 6 is uniform. In this case, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organizing case 1. Specifically, the partition member 6 is supported by a wider area of the lower end of the partition member 6 against the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. Therefore, in this case, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organizing space S of the case body 2.

Here, Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the partition member 6 of Figure 8 from above, flipped over and upside down. Referring to Figure 9, in this embodiment, the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 is an inclined surface that slopes toward the inner surface F63b (see Figure 8) of the second partition plate 63 as it approaches the side edge 63es of the second partition plate 63. That is, in this embodiment, the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 is an inclined surface that takes into account removal from the molding die. Here, the side edge 63es of the second partition plate 63 is the side edge of the second partition plate 63 located opposite the connection portion between the first partition plate 61 and the second partition plate 63 (the corner of the partition member 6). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rib 64 is a protruding portion that protrudes from the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the rib 64 protrudes from the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 and extends in the short direction of the second partition plate 63 along the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63. As a result, the rib 64 constitutes part of the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63 and forms a flat surface together with the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63.

In this embodiment, when molding the partition member 6, the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 is tapered (inclined) to allow for removal from the mold. In this case, the thickness of the second partition plate 63 is reduced due to the inclination of the tapered surface. Therefore, in this embodiment, a rib 64 is provided at the lower end of the outer surface F63a to compensate for the reduction in thickness associated with the inclination of the outer surface F63a, so that the thickness of the second partition plate 63 remains constant. In this case, the partition member 6 is supported by the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63, which has a larger area, against the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. Therefore, in this case, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organization space S of the case body 2.

Figure 10 is a side view of the first partition plate 61 of the partition member 6 in Figure 8, viewed from the inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61. Figure 11 is an enlarged view of region R1 in Figure 10. Figure 11 shows a rib 64 provided on the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63. Referring to Figure 11, it can be seen that the rib 64 constitutes part of the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63 and forms a flat surface together with the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63. According to the present invention, if the inner surface F63b of the second partition plate 63 is an inclined surface, the rib 64 can be provided on the inner surface F63b of the second partition plate 63. Furthermore, according to the present invention, if at least one of the outer surface F61a and inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61 is an inclined surface, the inclined surface can be provided on at least one of the outer surface F61a and inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61.

Figure 12 is a side view of the first partition plate 61 of the partition member of Figure 9, viewed from the outer surface F61a of the first partition plate 61. Figure 13 is a side view showing region R2 of Figure 12. In this embodiment, the hook portion 62 protrudes upward (downward on the paper) from the first partition plate 61. Specifically, referring to Figure 13, the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 protrudes upward (downward on the paper) from the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 by Δh. In addition, in this embodiment, when the lower end of the base 62a of the hook portion 62 is the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62, the height (position level) of the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is equal to the height (position level) of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61, as shown in Figure 13. Specifically, when the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is used as the reference point, the height (position level) from the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 to the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is the same as the height (position level) from the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 to the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61. As a result, when the partition member 6 is hooked onto the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 or another partition member 6, the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 is at the same height (position level) as the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 or the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6. Note that, as shown in FIG. 13 , in this embodiment, the hook portion 62 has ribs 64 on both the outer and inner surfaces of the protruding portion of the hook portion 62.

Figure 14 shows another example of a storage case in which one partition member 6 is arranged in the case body 2. According to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 14, the partition member 6 can be attached to the other of the two partition plate portions 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 in place of one of them. Specifically, as shown in Figure 14, the partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 onto the upper end 52eU of the other partition plate portion 52 from the rear side of that partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5.

Next, Figure 15 shows another example of the organizer case 1 in which an additional partition member 6 has been added to the organizer case 1 in Figure 14. In the following description, the additional partition member 6 (6B) refers to the additional partition member 6. The other partition member 6 (6A) refers to the partition member 6 in Figure 14. In this embodiment, the additional partition member 6 (6B) has the same shape as the other partition member 6 (6A).

Referring to Figure 15, the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 onto the upper end of the other partition member 6 (6A). Specifically, as shown in Figure 16, the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the other partition member 6 (6A) by hooking the hook portion 62 of the additional partition member 6 (6B) onto the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 from the outer surface F61a side of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6 (6A). In this embodiment, the height of the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 is the same as the height of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the partition member 6, as described above. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the other partition member 6 (6A), the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the additional partition member 6 (6B) and the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6 (6A) are at the same height. Also, in this embodiment, because the additional partition member 6 (6A) is the same member as the other partition member 6 (6B), when the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the other partition member 6 (6A), the lower end 6eL of the additional partition member 6 (6B) also comes into contact with the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2, just like the lower end 6eL of the other partition member 6 (6A). This allows the two partition members 6 to be stably positioned even when two partition members 6 are combined as a set and placed in the organization space S of the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 16 .

Figure 17 shows another example of a storage case in which one partition member 6 is arranged in the case body 2. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 17, the partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 onto the upper end 52eU of the other of the two partition plate portions 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 from the front side of the other partition plate portion 52. Next, Figure 18 shows another example of a storage case 1 in which one more partition member 6 is added to the storage case 1 of Figure 17. Specifically, as shown in Figure 19, the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the additional partition member 6 (6B) onto the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 from the inner surface F61b side of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6 (6A).

Next, Figure 3 shows an example of an organizing case 1 in which the organizing space S of the case body 2 is divided using eight partition members 6. Figure 20 is a perspective view showing the front side of the organizing case 1 of Figure 3 from above.

Referring to Figure 20, in this embodiment, when multiple partition members 6 are attached to the partition wall 5, the upper ends of the multiple partition members 6 form the same plane. Specifically, when multiple partition members 6 are attached to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper ends of the multiple partition members 6 form the same plane. In this case, as shown in Figure 20, a visually unified partition can be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2. In particular, in this embodiment, the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 forms a flat surface. Therefore, as shown in Figure 20, a more visually unified partition can be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2.

20, in this embodiment, when four partition members 6 are attached adjacent to one partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper ends 62eU of the hook portions 62 of the four partition members 6 form the same surface. This allows for the formation of a visually unified partition in the organization space S of the case body 2 on one side of the partition wall 5, across the handle 7. Also, as shown in FIG. 20, in this embodiment, when two partition members 6 are attached adjacent to one partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper ends 62eU of the hook portions 62 of the two partition members 6 form the same surface. This allows for the formation of a visually unified partition in the organization space S of the case body 2 on the other side of the partition wall 5, across the handle 7. In particular, in this embodiment, the upper ends 62eU of the hook portions 62 of the partition members 6 on both sides of the partition wall 5 sandwiching the handle 7 form the same surface. This allows for the creation of visually more uniform partitions in the organization space S of the case body 2. As illustrated in FIG. 13 , in this embodiment, the height (position level) of the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is equal to the height (position level) of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is used as a reference, the height (position level) from the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 to the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is equal to the height (position level) from the inner surface of the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 to the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 is equal to the height (position level) from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 to the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heights (position levels) of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61, the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62, and the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of each partition member 6 are all the same.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, in this embodiment, the organizing case 1 further has a handle 7 that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5. Specifically, the case body 2 further has a handle 7 that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5. Referring to Figure 21, in this embodiment, when the partition member 6 is attached to the partition wall 5 and the handle 7 is pushed into the partition wall 5, the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the upper end of the partition member 6 (specifically, the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62) form the same plane. In this case, as shown in Figure 21, when the handle 7 is pushed in, a visually unified partition can be formed in the organizing space S of the case body 2.

Figure 21 is a perspective view of the front side of the organizer case 1 from above with the handle 7 pushed into the organizer case 1 of Figure 3. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 21, the handle 7 can be pushed into the partition wall 5 so that the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 form the same plane. This allows for a visually unified partition to be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2 when the handle 7 is pushed in, as shown in Figure 21. In particular, in this embodiment, the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 both form flat surfaces. This allows for a visually more unified partition to be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2, as shown in Figure 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the width of the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 are the same width dimension W (e.g., W = 8 mm). This allows for the creation of visually more unified partitions in the organization space S of the case body 2, as shown in Figure 21.

As described above, referring to Figures 5-6, 14-15, 17-18, and 20, for example, the organizer case 1 further includes a partition member 6 as a component separate from the case body 2. The partition member 6 includes a partition plate 61 that divides the interior of the organizer case 1 and a hook portion 62 that can be hooked onto at least one of the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 or the partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from the partition member 6. With the organizer case 1, the interior of the organizer case 1 can be divided into desired organizational spaces by hooking the partition member 6. Furthermore, because the partition member 6 is configured to hook onto the partition wall 5 or the partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from the partition member 6, the interior of the organizer case 1 can also be divided into desired organizational spaces by removing the partition member 6. That is, with the organizing case 1, the layout of the organizing space S formed in the case body 2 can be freely changed by selectively attaching or removing at least one partition member 6. Moreover, the partition members 6 can be attached and removed easily and simply by hooking the partition members 6. Therefore, with the organizing case 1, the layout of the organizing space S can be easily changed.

However, the above-mentioned conventional organizer case (see Patent Document 1) could not be made compact when not being carried. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide an organizer case that is portable and can be made compact when not being carried.

Figure 22 is a cross-sectional view of the organizer case 1 of Figure 3 taken along the line B-B. Figure 23 is an enlarged view of region R3 of Figure 22. Figure 24 is a cross-sectional view of the organizer case 1 of Figure 3 taken along the line C-C. Figure 25 is an enlarged view of region R4 of Figure 24.

Organizer case 1 has legs 71 that can be stored in partition wall 5, and also has handle 71 that can be pulled out and pushed into partition wall 5. Specifically, organizer case 1 has legs 71 that can be stored in partition wall 5 of case body 2, and also has handle 7 that can be pulled out and pushed into partition wall 5. As shown in Figure 22, partition wall 5 of case body 2 and leg 71 of handle 7 have handle stopper portions 8 that limit the extension of handle 7. In addition, as shown in Figure 24, partition wall 5 of case body 2 and leg 71 of handle 7 have handle positioning portions 9 that position handle 7 at a predetermined extension position.

When carrying the organizer case 1, as shown in FIG. 20 , the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. At this time, the handle pull-out distance is limited to a preset distance by the handle stopper 8. Furthermore, once the handle 7 has been pulled out the preset distance, the handle positioning section 9 positions the handle 7 at the preset pull-out distance. This allows the organizer case 1 to be carried using the handle 7. Furthermore, when the organizer case 1 is not being carried, the handle 7 is pushed into the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. At this time, the handle positioning section 9 releases the positioning of the handle 7 relative to the partition wall 5. As a result, when the organizer case 1 is not being carried, the handle 7 can be pushed into the partition wall 5 for storage, thereby making the organizer case 1 compact. Therefore, the organizer case 1 is portable and can be made compact when not being carried.

Referring to Figure 22, in this embodiment, the handle retention feature 8 is composed of a partition wall-side protrusion 85 provided on the inside of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, and a handle-side protrusion 87 provided on the leg 71 of the handle 7 and capable of engaging with the partition wall-side protrusion 85 when the handle 7 is pulled out.

Figure 26 is a front view of the handle 7 of the organizer case 1. In this embodiment, the handle 7 is made of resin. In this embodiment, the handle 7 is an injection-molded product in which the resin is integrally molded inside a mold. Examples of such resin include polypropylene. Referring to Figure 26, the handle 7 has two legs 71 and a grip 72 connecting the upper ends of the two legs 71. In this embodiment, the legs 71 and the grip 72 are configured in a straight line. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the two legs 71 are arranged parallel to each other. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the grip 72 is connected at a right angle to the legs 71. However, according to the present invention, the grip 72 can also be configured in a curved line.

In this embodiment, the handle 7 has a flat, U-shaped plate member 75. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the plate member 75 is provided with two reinforcing flanges 76. The two reinforcing flanges 76 are connected to the inner and outer edges of the plate member 75, respectively, and extend in the extension direction of the plate member 75. The two reinforcing flanges 76 also protrude from the front and rear surfaces of the plate member 75, respectively. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the handle 7 when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 7 is H-shaped.

Referring to Figure 5, the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is accommodated in the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 by being inserted into an opening A5 formed in the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. The opening A5 is formed in the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5. In this embodiment, the handle support portion 51 is also formed with a recess C51 into which a finger can be inserted when the handle 7 is pushed in.

Referring to Figure 22, in this embodiment, the partition wall-side protrusion 85 is provided on the outer surface of the side wall 53 of the handle support portion 51 that forms the recess C51. Furthermore, referring to Figure 23, the partition wall-side protrusion 85 has an inclined surface F85 that slopes downwardly away from the outer surface of the side wall 53. As a result, when the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is inserted downward through the opening A5, the inclined surface F85 of the partition wall-side protrusion 85 guides the handle-side protrusion 87 provided on the leg portion 71 of the handle 7. Also referring to Figure 23, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on the side of the leg portion 71. In this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on the inner surface of the leg portion 71. The handle-side protrusion 87 has an inclined surface F87 that slopes downwardly toward the inner surface of the leg portion 71. As a result, when the leg 71 of the handle 7 is inserted downward through the opening A5, the handle-side protrusion 87 is guided by the inclined surface F87 of the handle-side protrusion 87 moving along the inclined surface F85 of the partition wall-side protrusion 85.

As shown in Figure 23, when the handle 7 is pulled out, the handle retaining portion 8 contacts the contact surface 87a of the handle-side protrusion 87 with the contact surface 85a of the partition-side protrusion 85. The contact allowance ΔX between the contact surface 87a of the handle-side protrusion 87 and the contact surface 85a of the partition-side protrusion 85 is a dimension (e.g., 1.0 mm) such that when the handle 7 is pulled out, the contact surface 87a of the handle-side protrusion 87 remains hooked on the contact surface 85a of the partition-side protrusion 85 and does not come off the contact surface 85a of the partition-side protrusion 85. This prevents the leg 71 of the handle 7 from coming off the opening A5. Therefore, the handle retaining portion 8 prevents the handle 7 from coming off and becoming separated from the case body 2.

Also, referring to Figure 24, in this embodiment, the handle positioning portion 9 is composed of a partition wall-side fitting portion 95 provided on the inside of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, and a handle-side fitting portion 97 provided on the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 and capable of fitting with the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pulled out.

The partition wall-side fitting portion 95 can be provided on the front or rear surface of the handle support portion 51. Referring to FIG. 25 , in this embodiment, the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 is provided on the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51. In this embodiment, the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 is composed of a first protrusion 95a continuing from the rear surface of the front wall 54 and a second protrusion 95b protruding rearward from the first protrusion 95a. Furthermore, the handle-side fitting portion 97 can be provided on the front or rear surface of the leg portion 71. Referring to FIG. 25 , in this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 is provided on the front surface of the leg portion 71. In this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 is composed of two fitting protrusions. In this embodiment, one of the two fitting protrusions is the first fitting protrusion 97a located on the lower side, and the other of the two fitting protrusions is the second fitting protrusion 97b located on the upper side. In this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a and the second fitting protrusion 97b are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a protrudes further forward than the second fitting protrusion 97b.

In this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a can overcome the second protrusion 95b of the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pushed downward. However, in this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a has a contact surface F97a that can come into contact with the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. When the handle 7 is pulled upward after the first fitting protrusion 97a has overcome the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, the contact surface F97a of the first fitting protrusion 97a comes into contact with the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, preventing the first fitting protrusion 97a from overcoming the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. In other words, when the handle 7 is pulled out after the first fitting protrusion 97a has overcome the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 by pushing it in, the contact surface F97a of the first fitting protrusion 97a engages with the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95.

In contrast, in this embodiment, the second fitting protrusion 97b can climb over the second protrusion 95b of the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pushed downward through the opening A5 of the partition wall 5. At the same time, the second fitting protrusion 97b can also climb over the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pulled upward after climbing over the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 by being pushed in.

That is, when the handle 7 attached to the case body 2 is pulled out from the partition wall 5, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 9 climbs over the partition wall-side fitting portion 95, as shown in FIG. 25, and then the first fitting protrusion 97a comes into contact with the partition wall-side fitting portion 95, thereby engaging with the partition wall-side fitting portion 95. As a result, as shown in FIG. 25, the handle positioning portion 9 engages the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 between the first fitting protrusion 97a and the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 24, when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5, the handle positioning portion 9 positions the handle 7 at a position where the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is pulled out a predetermined amount.

Note that, referring to Figure 25, in this embodiment, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 has an inclined surface F97b2 on the upper side of the second fitting protrusion 97b that slopes downward and away from the front surface of the leg portion 71. This allows the first fitting protrusion 97a of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pulled upward. Therefore, in this case, the handle 7 can be easily pushed in when pulled out.

In addition, in this embodiment, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 has an inclined surface F97b1 on the underside of the second fitting protrusion 97b that slopes downward to approach the front surface of the leg portion 71. This allows the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-side fitting portion 95 when pushing the handle 7 in. In addition, in this embodiment, the partition-side fitting portion 95 has an inclined surface F95 on the upper side of the partition-side fitting portion 95 that slopes downward to move away from the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51. This allows the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-side fitting portion 95 when pushing the handle 7 in. This makes it easier to push the handle 7 in.

Furthermore, referring to FIG. 25, in this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a of the handle-side fitting portion 97 has an inclined surface F97c below the first fitting protrusion 97a that slopes downward to approach the front surface of the leg portion 71. This allows the first fitting protrusion 97a of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily overcome the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pushed in. Also referring to FIG. 25, in this embodiment, a guide protrusion 56 is provided on the rear wall 55 of the handle support portion 51. When the handle 7 is inserted into the opening A5 of the partition wall 5, the guide protrusion 56 is positioned between the two reinforcing flanges 76 provided on the handle 7. As a result, the handle 7's vertical movement along the reinforcing flanges 76 is guided by the guide protrusions 56 provided on the partition wall 5 of the case body 2.

Figure 27 is an enlarged view of region R5 in Figure 26. Referring to Figure 27, in this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 is provided on an elastic piece 74 formed by a notch 73 formed in the leg portion 71 of the handle 7. The notch 73 penetrates the plate member 75. In this embodiment, the notch 73 is a U-shaped notch that protrudes downward when viewed from the front, as shown in Figure 27. That is, the elastic piece 74 is configured as a cantilevered portion with its upper side as a base point. This allows the elastic piece 74 to elastically deform in the front-to-rear direction with its upper side as a base point. Therefore, when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5, the partition-side fitting portion 95 of the handle positioning portion 9 engages with the handle-side fitting portion 97 with a clicking sensation, and the partition-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 can be easily engaged and disengaged.

In addition, in this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is positioned so that the notch 73 provides a displacement margin for the handle-side protrusion 87. Referring to Figure 27, in this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is located adjacent to the notch 73 in the left-right direction, and the notch 73 is formed in a position that overlaps the handle-side protrusion 87 in the up-down direction. In this case, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on a beam portion supported at two positions in the up-down direction (in Figure 27, the portion of the leg 71 between the notch 73 and the handle-side protrusion 87). Therefore, in this embodiment, the portion of the leg 71 where the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided can elastically deform toward the space in the notch 73. In this case, when the handle 7 is inserted into the opening A5 formed in the partition wall 5, the handle protrusion 87 can be displaced away from the partition wall protrusion 85 by the space of the notch 73. This allows the handle protrusion 87 to easily displace over the partition wall protrusion 85 when the handle 7 is inserted into the opening A5 formed in the partition wall 5. Therefore, as in this embodiment, by positioning the handle protrusion 87 so that the notch 73 provides a displacement margin for the handle protrusion 87, the handle 7 can be easily attached to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. Note that Figure 28 is an enlarged view of region R6 in Figure 26. As shown in Figure 28, in this embodiment, the handle protrusion 87 provided on the other leg 71 of the handle 7 is also positioned so that the notch 73 provides a displacement margin for the handle protrusion 87.

Referring to Figure 25, when the handle-side fitting portion 97 is provided on the elastic piece 74 as in this embodiment, when the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 overcomes the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, the feeling of the handle 7 being overcome can be felt, for example, as a click. Therefore, in this case, the positioning and release of the positioning of the handle 7 can be easily recognized. This also makes it easy to engage and release the engagement between the handle-side fitting portion 97 and the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. Specifically, when the handle 7 is pulled out to a predetermined position from the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 to position the handle 7, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 more easily overcomes the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, thereby reducing the force required to position the handle 7. When the handle 7 is pushed in from the predetermined position relative to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 easily overcomes the partition wall-side fitting portion 95, thereby reducing the force required to push in the handle 7. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the operations required to position and release the handle 7 are simplified. In addition, because the notch 73 forming the elastic piece 74 provides a deflection allowance for the handle-side protrusion 87, the handle-side protrusion 87 easily overcomes the partition wall-side protrusion 85 when pushed against it. Therefore, even when the handle-side protrusion 87 has a large protrusion amount (contact allowance ΔX in Figure 23) to prevent it from coming off the partition wall-side protrusion 85, the handle 7 can be easily assembled to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2.

In this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on the side of the leg 71, and the handle-side fitting 97 is provided on the front or rear surface of the leg 71, as shown in Figure 25. In this case, the handle-side protrusion 87 and the handle-side fitting 97 are not arranged on the same plane, which reduces the thickness of the handle 7 while allowing the handle 7 to be provided with a handle slip-off prevention portion 8 and a handle positioning portion 9.

28 , a handle-side fitting portion 97 is located on the reverse side of the leg portion 71 in the drawing. Also, in this embodiment, a configuration similar to that in FIG. 28 is located on the reverse side of the leg portion 71 in FIG. 27 . That is, in this embodiment, two handle positioning portions 9 are present on each of two legs 71 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and are configured so that the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 fit together in opposite front-to-back directions. Referring to FIG. 26 , in this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 of the handle-side positioning portion 9 is located on only one of the two legs 71 in a front (or rear) view. Specifically, one of the two handle-side fitting portions 97 is located on the front surface of one leg 71 of the handle 7, while the other of the two handle-side fitting portions 97 is located on the rear surface of the other leg 71 of the handle 7. In other words, in this embodiment, the two handle positioning portions 9 are located symmetrically about the vertical axis passing through the center of the handle 7 in a plan view (bottom view), and are configured so that the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 fit together in opposite front-to-back directions. This prevents the handle 7 from wobbling about the vertical axis when the handle 7 is pulled out and positioned. However, according to the present invention, the two handle positioning portions 9 may be located spaced apart in the left-right direction and so that the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 fit together in the same, but opposite, front-to-back directions. Furthermore, according to the present invention, at least one handle positioning portion 9 is sufficient.

Figure 29 is a cross-sectional view of the organizer case 1 of Figure 3 taken along the line D-D. Figure 30 is an enlarged view of region R7 of Figure 29.

Referring to Figure 30, in this embodiment, the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 has a handle-side front inclined surface F7a and a handle-side rear inclined surface F7b that slope toward each other as they extend upward. Additionally, the partition wall 5 has a partition-side front inclined surface F5a and a partition-side rear inclined surface F5b arranged inside the handle 7, which slope toward each other as they extend downward. When the handle 7 is pulled out to a position where its extension is restricted, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a aligns with the partition-side front inclined surface F5a, and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b aligns with the partition-side rear inclined surface F5b. In this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the partition-side front inclined surface F5a are at a predetermined angle α (e.g., 0.5 degrees) with respect to the vertical axis. Additionally, in this embodiment, the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b and the partition-side rear inclined surface F5b are angled at a predetermined angle β (e.g., 0.5 degrees) with respect to the vertical axis. According to the present invention, it is preferable that angle α and angle β are equal.

Figure 31 is a side view showing the handle 7. Referring to Figure 31, in this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b are each located at the bottom of the leg 71 of the handle 7. Specifically, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a is provided on the front surface of the reinforcing flange 76. Furthermore, the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b is provided on the rear surface of the reinforcing flange 76. Figure 32 is an enlarged view of the bottom of the leg 71 of the handle 7 in Figure 26, viewed from the direction 2 of arrow D. More specifically, as shown in Figure 32, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b each extend upward from the lower end 7eL of the handle 7. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b each extend above the height (position level) at which they overlap with the handle-side protrusion 87 of the handle-side retaining portion 8 in the front-to-rear direction relative to the handle-side protrusion 87 of the handle-side retaining portion 8. That is, in this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b each extend from the lower end 7eL of the handle 7 above the handle-side protrusion 87.

Referring to Figure 30, in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side front inclined surface F5a is provided on the rear surface of the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side rear inclined surface F5b is provided on the front surface of the rear wall 55 of the handle support portion 51. In this embodiment, each of the partition-wall-side front inclined surface F5a and the partition-wall-side rear inclined surface F5b is inclined downward from a position that is a predetermined distance ΔL below the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, when the handle 7 is pulled out to the position positioned by the handle positioning portion 9, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a mates with the partition-side front inclined surface F5a, and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b mates with the partition-side rear inclined surface F5b, as shown in FIG. 30. As a result, when the handle 7 is pulled out to the position positioned from the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the front lower end of the handle 7 is held in a manner that it is pressed rearward by the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, and at the same time, the rear lower end of the handle 7 is held in a manner that it is pressed forward by the rear wall 55 of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. Therefore, this embodiment can suppress forward/backward shaking that may occur when the handle 7 is pulled out.

Furthermore, when storing multiple organizer cases 1 according to this embodiment, the bottom wall 4 of one organizer case 1 can be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of another organizer case 1.

For example, referring to FIG. 29, in this embodiment, a storage space S7 that accommodates the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is formed in the partition wall 5 of the case main body 2. In this embodiment, the storage space S7 opens at the upper end of the partition wall 5. Specifically, the partition wall 5 opens to the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 through an opening A5 formed in the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the storage space S7 opens through an opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4 of the case main body 2, which penetrates the partition wall 5, specifically the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5, in the vertical direction.

Figure 33 shows the organizer case 1 with the handle 7 pulled out, viewed from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. As shown in Figure 33, with the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pulled out, the legs 71 of the handle 7 do not protrude from the opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4. Also, Figure 34 shows the organizer case 1 with the handle 7 pushed in, viewed from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. As shown in Figure 34, with the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pulled out, the legs 71 of the handle 7 do not protrude from the opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4.

Figure 35 is a front view of the organizer case 1 with the handle 7 pushed in. Figure 36 is a side view of the organizer case 1 with the handle 7 pushed in. As shown in Figures 35 and 36, with the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pushed in, the handle 7 does not protrude from the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, when storing multiple organizer cases 1, the handle 7 can be pushed in to accommodate the handle 7 inside the case body 2 (organizing space S), and the bottom wall 4 of one organizer case 1 can be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of another organizer case 1. Therefore, the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment is portable, compact when not being carried, yet still allows items to be taken in and out, and also allows multiple organizer cases to be stored compactly.

In this embodiment, the pushing of the handle 7 is limited by the gripping portion 72 of the handle 7 contacting the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 formed on the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 21 . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vertical length of the storage space S7 for the handle 7 in the case body 2 is set longer than the vertical length of the leg portion 71 of the handle 7. As a result, even when the handle 7 is pushed all the way in, the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 does not protrude from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 35 and 36 , in this embodiment, the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2 of the organizer case 1 is flat when the handle 7 is pushed in. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22 , in this embodiment, the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 is located below the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5. Therefore, according to this embodiment, by adjusting at least one of the vertical width of the gripping portion 72 of the handle 7 and the difference in height (position level) between the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 and the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52, even when the handle 7 is pushed in, the upper end of the gripping portion 72 of the handle 7, i.e., the upper end 7eU of the handle 7, does not protrude above the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3. Therefore, according to this embodiment, as shown in Figures 35 and 36, when the handle 7 is pushed in, the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 of the organizer case 1 is flat.

In this embodiment, the organizer case 1 can be stacked in the most compact way possible by pushing the handle 7 into the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, so that the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 is positioned at the same level as or lower than the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3. However, according to the present invention, even when the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 is higher than the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3, the bottom wall 4 of one organizer case 1 can be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of the other organizer case 1. As a specific example, the handle 7 of one organizer case 1 can be accommodated in the opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4 of the other organizer case 1. This allows the bottom wall 4 of the other organizer case 1 to be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of one organizer case 1.

The organizer case 1 may have the following dimensions, for example:
Case body 2
Horizontal width 145-146mm, front-rear width 321-322mm, vertical width 82mm
Partition wall 5
Left-right width: XX to XX mm, front-to-back width: 318 mm, vertical width (vertical height): 74 mm
Handle 7
Left-right width: 8 mm, front-back width: 120 mm, vertical width (vertical height): 124 mm
Partition member 6
Front-to-back width: 68 mm, vertical width (vertical height): 73 mm
