Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] When installing or renovating equipment, contractors who perform plumbing work, electrical work, etc. It is semi-common knowledge that it is necessary to transport parts or tools into buildings or other facilities.

Some of the work cases used for this purpose have a structure in which a bundle is attached to the center part of the top via a fixed arm. It is important to keep the individual contents sorted and placed in the work case so that they do not have to be removed again, and to ensure that parts or other contents are not removed during transportation over rough roads. It is desirable to avoid clutter on the floor of a work truck.

It is also effective for work to allow each work case to be stacked in multiple stages inside the work truck, but this requires additional space at the top of the work case to accommodate the handle. There must be.

For this reason, the industry has long needed a suitable means for transporting various tools and parts from work trucks or pans.

This invention focuses on the above-mentioned point, and it is possible to sufficiently store each component in a plurality of compartments when the lid is closed. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable parts storage case for engineers, which is equipped with a transport handle that can be placed in a central location.

Another object of the present invention is to form large storage boxes that can be installed in a workplace by stacking them in multiple stages in an open state.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a similar storage case.

Therefore, according to the present invention, each of the above cases is
Not only is it suitable for storing specific groups of parts and tools, but it can also be used when placed in or used within a work pan or truck, or when transported from a work pan to a work site. It is now possible to leave the case in an open state, and at the same time, it is possible to stack it on top of each other in multiple stages at desired locations.Furthermore, the case assembly of such an assembled structure can be moved freely by using a trolley. It becomes possible to use it like a rotary or mobile case by providing a small workbench at the top.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 ( is a box body, 2 is a suitcase bundle (first bundle) pivoted to the side wall thereof, and 3 and 4 are respectively attached to opposite sides of the box body 1. A pair of doors are pivotally supported via a piano hinge 5, and these doors come into contact (overlap) at the center of the box 1 when closed.

Such doors 3 and 4 are preferably provided with flanges along each side;
In order to improve the closing condition of the door, it is desirable to cut off one end of the flange of the other door 3 at an appropriate angle so that the flange of the door 4 overlaps with the flange of the other door 3. By closing the doors 3 and 4, it becomes possible to hold the door 3 by the door 4.

The button-type locking member 6 is used to lock the door 3.4 when it is closed as described above, for example, the door 4.
It can be made to protrude into a locking hole 7 provided at the end of the side flange.

Such a locking member or locking member 6 can of course be provided on both (opposite) flanges of the door 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the case of this invention has doors 3 and 4.
When opened, a pair of telescoping arms 8 and 9 which are pivotally connected to the box body 1 are exposed. By being pivotally supported through the connecting arms 10 and 11 of the type, the doors protrude outward from the box body 1 when the doors are opened.

When the doors 3 and 4 are opened and the connecting arms 10 and 11 are fully extended, the tray bundle (second bundle) 14 pivotally connected between the telescopic arms 8 and 9 will protrude above the box body 1. At the same time, each telescoping arm 8, 9 is extended until the door 3, 4 is opened toward the upright position.

In this state, the tray handle 14 is useful for transporting the box 1 as an open work case.

The multipurpose case of the invention can also be housed in a cabinet with multiple sliding drawer frames 13 on which each case can rest, as shown in FIG. .

In this case, it is preferable to apply a label to each box 1 and use this to sort parts and tools.

Such a box body 1 can be pulled out individually together with the above-mentioned drawer frame 13, and the door can be opened arbitrarily to use the parts and tools, or the box body 1 can be carried to a desired work site with the door closed. It will be possible to go there.

When the cases are transported to a desired work site, they can be opened and stacked on top of each other, as shown in FIG. 4, so that they can be used as storage boxes for parts.

When doing this, use a trolley and use the frame 1
Cases in an open state are installed on top of the workpiece 5, and necessary parts and tools can be taken out from each case while changing the position as the work progresses.

In addition, it is effective to install a relatively small workbench 16 on the case located at the top. Any suitable number of brackets 18 serve to support the platform 16.
is preferably mounted on the inside of each door to utilize the rigid body of the door as a support means.

FIG. 5 shows a modification of the case described above. In this example, the train handle 114 includes the left and right doors 3,
4 by rotation links 19 and 20.

In such a configuration, when the doors 3, 4 are opened to the upright position shown in the figure, the movement of the links is regulated by the stop arms 21, 22 pivoted to the pivot links 19, 20, and the movement of the links is regulated as shown in the figure. It becomes possible to set the training end 114 as required.

Of course, if the stop arm 20.22 is subsequently moved downward, the tray bundle 114 is pushed towards the inside of the box body 1 via the pivot link 19.20, and the door is closed as shown in FIG. 3 and 4 can be closed.

As a modification of the configuration shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, pivot links 119° and 120 as shown in FIG. 7 are used,
By slot-connecting this to the tray bundle 214 (axially connecting it through a long hole), the bundle can be attached to the door 3.
, 4 may be inserted into the box body 1 with the closing operation.

The slotted brackets designated 23 and 24 or the stop arms designated 12L122 then clamp the train handle 214 between the respective pivot links 119, 120.
The former bracket is fixed to the inside of the left and right doors by welding or the like, whereas the latter arm has one end attached to the rotation link 119.
Alternatively, it is pivoted to the bracket 120, and the other end is pivoted to the slot of the former bracket.

FIGS. 8-10 show other variations as related to the configuration described above, in which the handle 314 has slotted brackets 25.2 at each end thereof.
It can be slid freely through 6 slots.

The foldable connecting arms 27 and 28 used in this example serve to fix the doors 3 and 4 when they are opened, and to close the doors by folding them.

In addition to the above, in implementing the case of this invention, the 11th
As shown in the figures and FIG.
This end is screwed into the threaded pipe flange 30 attached to the open door (left side in the figure), and the other end 31 of the thread is screwed into the door (right side in the figure). ) Plug-in socket flange 3
It is also possible to connect the bundle 414 by inserting its ends into the doors 3, 4, and then remove the bundle 414 from the left and right flanges 30, 32 when closing the doors 3, 4. By inserting the nozzle into a plurality of pipe rackets 33 that are fixed to the outside surfaces of the doors so that they are aligned in a straight line in the closed state, the doors 3 and 4 can be held down. You will be able to keep it.
