Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep easy handling even with partition plates included inside, by providing a folding means of upper frames to approach each other against the bottom plate in a folding container comprising the bottom plate, the upper frames, opposite side plates and front and rear plates. CONSTITUTION:When a folding container A including lateral partition plates 6 and longitudinal partition plates 8 is folded, both side plates 3, 3 are pressed inwardly to turn upward. Then the inside of the side plate 3 pushes guides 7 of the lateral partition plates 6 according to the inward turn of the side plate 3 and the lateral partition plates 6 turn via the guides 7 thereof. In this way, the lateral partition plates are folded in, when the side plates 3 are turned inwardly under this condition, the upper parts of the longitudinal partition plates 8 are turned, pressed by the lower edges of the side plates 3 to fold the longitudinal partition plates 8. In this way, the folding container A can be folded easily and compactly with the longitudinal and lateral partition plates 8, 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a folding container having a partition, and more specifically to a technique for easily extending and storing the partition in conjunction with the folding operation of the container. .

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a folding container A that can be folded compactly when not in use, there is a Utility Model Publication No. 57 shown in FIGS. 8 to 10.
A foldable container A as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 55140 is provided. As shown in Fig. 10, this device is composed of an upper frame 2, a bottom plate 1, side plates 3゜3, and front and rear plates 4, 5. Raise the side plates 3, 3 which are pivotally attached to the bottom plate 1 as shown, then lift the upper frame 2, and vertically assemble the front and rear plates 4, 5 which are pivoted to this as shown in Fig. 9. Then, as shown in Fig. fIIJ10, a separately formed partition 6 is fitted into this box body to form a storage part 14, and by reversing this, it can be folded compactly. That's what it was.

Problem to be Solved by the InventionJ However, in the conventional example described above, in order to form the storage part 14 for storing articles, it is not necessary to separately fit the partition 6 into the box body after assembling the partition 6. In addition, the separately formed partition 6 cannot be folded, and even if the container is folded into a compact size, the partition 6 cannot be folded. The problem was that it was bulky and could not be folded into a compact size.

The present invention is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to enable the extension and storage of the partitions to be performed in conjunction with the assembly and folding operations of the folding container, and to enable the use of the partitions while providing the partitions. To provide a foldable container that does not impede ease of use.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the foldable container of the present invention includes a bottom plate 1, an upper frame 2, side plates 3.3 facing each other, and front and rear plates 4, 5. A folding container A is provided with means for folding the upper frame 2 in close proximity to the upper frame 2, and is pivotably foldable to the upper frame 2 between the upper ends of the left and right side plates 3, 3, and the lower end can be freely attached to and detached from the bottom @1. A horizontal partition plate 6 extends across the upper frame 2 located above both side plates 3, 3.
The upper end of the horizontal partition plate 6 is rotatably attached to the upper frame 2, and the lower corners of both ends are chamfered 9 to form a guide part 7. A vertical partition plate 8 is constructed across the upper frames 2, and the upper end of the vertical partition plate 8 is constructed so that the dimension α from the side plate 3 to the vertical partition plate 8 is shorter than the height dimension of the side plate 3. is positioned near the side plate 3 and rotatably attached to the upper frame 2, and the vertical partition plate 8 is slid into the notch 9 provided in the vertical direction of the horizontal partition plate 6 so as to be perpendicular to the horizontal partition plate 6. It can be fitted freely.

[Operation 1] By rotatably attaching the upper end of the horizontal partition plate 6 to the upper frame 2 and chamfering the lower corners of both ends to form the guide portion 7, the side plate 3 is moved upward. By rotating, the γ-id portion 7 is pushed against the inner surface of the side plate 3, and the horizontal partition plate 6 assumes an inclined position.If the side plate 3 is rotated in this state, the height dimension 11 of the side plate 3 is lowered. The upper end of the vertical partition plate 8 is positioned closer to the side plate 3 so that the dimension η from the side plate 3 to the vertical partition plate 8 is shortened, and the side plate 3 is rotatably attached to the upper frame 2. The vertical partition plate 8 is pushed by the lower end of the frame and rotates upward.
The vertical partition plate 8 and the horizontal partition plate 6 are folded together with the upward rotation of the side plate 3, so that the container A can be easily and compactly folded.

[Example 1] A folding container A is composed of a bottom plate 1, an upper frame 2 having a substantially mouth-shaped shape, side plates 3, 3 facing left and right, and front and rear plates 4, 5 facing front and rear. The plate 4a and the lower front plate 4b are connected inwardly through a hinge 10 so as to be bendable, and the lower edge of the lower front plate 4b is bent through the hinge 11 to the bottom plate. 1, and the rear plate 5 is connected to a lower rear plate 5a and a lower rear plate 5b via a hinge 10 so as to be able to be bent inward in a substantially dogleg shape. The upper edge of the plate 5a is pivotably attached to the upper frame 2 via a hinge 12, and the lower edge of the lower rear plate 5b is pivotably attached to the bottom plate 1 via a hinge 11. . The upper edge of the side plate 3 is pivotally connected to the upper frame 2 via a hinge 13 so that it can be folded inwardly, and the lower edge of the side plate 3 is configured to fit into the bottom plate 1 in a concave-convex manner and to be detachable. It is.

Therefore, the folding container A has both side plates 3 and 3 connected to the hinge 1.
3, and the front and rear plates 4, 5 are respectively bent inward via hinges 10, so that the upper frame 2 can be brought close to the bottom plate 1 and folded. When assembling the foldable container A, the upper frame 2 is separated from the bottom plate 1 and the front and rear plates 4.
5, and slide the side plate 3 so that it hangs down.
The lower edge of the bottom @1 is fitted into the bottom @1 to hold it upright. Incidentally, various configurations for folding the upper frame 2 in close proximity to the bottom plate 1 can be considered, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-200333, and such configurations that can be folded are collectively referred to as folding means. .

A horizontal partition plate 6 is installed in the upper frame 2 located above the side plates 3, 3, and the upper end of the horizontal partition plate 6 is rotatably attached to the upper frame 2 with a pongee 16. At the same time, the guide portions 7 are formed by obliquely chamfering the lower corner portions of both ends. In the embodiment illustrated as the guide g7, an arc-shaped guide is shown, but the guide portion 7 may be formed so as to be linearly inclined. Reference numeral 9 denotes a notch provided in the vertical direction for loosely fitting a vertical partition plate to be described later. In this way, the corners of the horizontal partition plate 6 are chamfered to form the guide portion 7.
By forming and rotating the side plate 3 inward, the inner surface of the side plate 3 pushes the guide 17, and as the side plate 3 rotates inward via the guide portion 7. A vertical partition plate 8 is installed between the upper frame 2 located above the front and rear plates 4.5 so that the horizontal partition plate 6 can be rotated and folded. The section is rotatably attached to the upper frame 2. At this time, the mounting position of the upper end of the vertical partition plate 8 to the upper frame 2 should be positioned closer to the side plate 3 than the height dimension of the side plate 3 and the dimension t from the side plate 3 to the vertical partition plate 8. It is. In other words, the mounting position of the rain top i part of the vertical partition plate 8 to the upper frame 2 is positioned closer to the side plate 3 in the dimension from the side plate 3 to the vertical partition plate 8 than the height dimension of the side plate 3. Therefore, when the side plate 3 is rotated inwardly, the upper part of the vertical partition plate 8 is pushed laterally by the lower end of the side plate 3 as the side plate 3 is rotated inwardly. As a result, the vertical partition plate 8 is placed in an inclined position, so that the vertical partition plate 8 can be folded together with the inward rotation of the side plate 3. In this case, by rotating the horizontal partition plate 6 by hand, it is possible to reliably fold the horizontal partition plate 6, but especially when the horizontal partition plate 6 starts to move, the horizontal partition @ 6 is folded slightly. You can reliably remove the horizontal partition plate 6 by moving it by hand.
can be folded. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if the horizontal partition plate 6 is provided with a tapered part 17 on either the front or back surface of the side part 7, the horizontal partition plate 6 can be folded by the inward rotation of the side plate 3. can be done more reliably.

When folding the folding container A while storing the horizontal partition plate 6 and the vertical partition plate 8, the side plates 3.3 can be rotated upward by pushing inward from both sides. As the side plate 3 rotates inward, the inner surface of the side plate 3 becomes the horizontal partition plate 6.
By pushing the guide part 7 of the horizontal partition plate 6, the horizontal partition plate 6 will rotate via the guide part 7 of the horizontal partition plate 6, and the horizontal partition plate 6 will be folded and the side plate 3 will be turned inward in this state. By rotating the vertical partition plate 8, the upper part of the vertical partition plate 8 is pushed by the lower end of the side plate 3 and rotates, and the vertical partition plate 8 is folded, so that the folding container A can be easily folded into the vertical partition plate 8 and the horizontal partition plate. 6 and can be folded compactly.

In addition, when assembling the folding container A while installing the vertical partition plate 8 and the horizontal partition plate 6, by lifting the upper frame 2 upward with respect to the bottom plate 1, the side plate 3 will rotate downward, and the side plate 3, the upper part of the vertical partition plate 8 is released from being held down by the side plate 3 and the guide portion 7 of the horizontal partition plate 6 is released, and the vertical partition plate 8
The horizontal partition plate 6 and the vertical partition plate 8 are rotated and installed in an upright state. A holding part 15 for holding a product 14 such as a bottle or a part is formed by this, and as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the product 14 is
The vertical partition plate 8 and the horizontal partition @6 can be easily installed while assembling the foldable container A by simply setting the side plate 3 in an upright state.

Although the foldable container A constructed as described above is made of a synthetic resin molded product, it may be made of other materials.

[Effects of the Invention 1] As described above, the present invention has the upper end of the horizontal partition plate rotatably attached to the upper frame, and the lower corners of both ends are chamfered to form a guide part. By rotating the side plate upward, the 441 part is pushed against the inner surface of the side plate due to the inward movement of the side plate, resulting in an inclined posture via the 441 part.If the side plate is rotated in this state, By positioning the upper end of the vertical partition plate closer to the side plate so that the dimension from the side plate to the vertical partition plate is shorter than the height of the side plate, and by rotatably attaching it to the upper frame, the height of the side plate is reduced. The vertical partition plate is pushed by the lower end and rotates upward, and the vertical and horizontal partition plates are folded together with the upward rotation of the side plate, allowing the container to be easily and compactly folded. Also, when assembling a folding container, by lifting the upper frame and putting the side plates in an upright position, the horizontal partition plate 441 by the side plates can be removed.
The pressure on the vertical partition plate and the vertical partition plate will be released, and the vertical and horizontal partition plates will be installed in an upright position.The vertical and horizontal partition plates can be easily separated by simply placing the side plates in an upright position. The folding container can be assembled while installing the partition plate.
