Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an iron storage box that can store an iron while it is hot in a free-standing state.

BACKGROUND ART A conventional iron storage box of this type has a structure shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-51584.

That is, the main body 101 is made of plastic and has the shape of a casing with one side open and stores the iron in a free-standing state.The upper part of the main body 101 is provided with a handle 102 for convenient carrying. A lid 103 is attached to the opening edge of the main body 101 so as to be openable and closable with a hinge, and is provided with a lock button 104. This lock button 104 has a leg 106 that is inserted from the outside into a hole 105 provided in the lid 103, and a slide pin 108 passes through a hole 107 provided in this leg 106. 109 is a coil spring wound around this slide pin 108, the end of which is in contact with the inner wall of the lid 103, and the lock button 104 is always biased in the direction of arrow A through the slide pin 108.
It was made to land on the outside of the lid 103.

Problems that the invention aims to solve However, with this structure, there were the following problems.

Store the iron after use in the iron storage box,
When carrying this iron storage box, if some kind of impact is applied to the iron storage box and the iron inside rattles or falls over, it will collide with the legs 106 and a force will act in the direction of releasing the lock button 104 from the inside.
When the lock button 104 is disengaged from the main body 101, the lid 103 opens and the iron jumps out of the iron storage box and falls, which is very dangerous and can cause injury to the user's foot.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an iron storage box equipped with a locking device that will not be unlocked from the inside no matter how much the stored iron moves within the storage box.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the iron storage box of the present invention has a rib body protruding from the inner wall of the lid near the spring mounting member, and the rib body is connected to the spring mounting member. It is made to protrude more inward.

Effect: With the above configuration, no matter how much the stored iron moves or falls inside the storage box, the iron will not hit the rib body protruding from the spring mounting member, press the spring mounting member, and release the lock of the lid. can.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the storage box, which has a space in which an iron can be stored in an independent state, and is equipped with a sliding handle 2 around its upper part. 3 is a lid attached to the opening edge of the main body 1 with a hinge so that it can be opened and closed;
A lock button 5 that engages with a locking portion 4 of the main body 1 is provided. This lock button 5 is integrally formed with a spring mounting member 7 that is inserted from the outside into a substantially rectangular hole 6 provided in the lid 3. Furthermore, this spring mounting member 7 is provided with a substantially rectangular hole 8, and the spring mounting member 7 is provided with a substantially rectangular hole 8. A spring 9 is inserted. This leaf spring 9 is formed into a substantially U-shape, and has a folded portion 10 for positioning and a convex portion 11 for preventing slippage at one end of the open end. The other end is brought into contact with the inner wall of the lid 3.

As shown in FIG. 1, the height A of the rib body 12 formed integrally with the lids disposed above and below the spring mounting member 7.
is set higher than the maximum height of the spring mounting member 7.

In the above configuration, no matter how much the stored iron moves within the iron storage box, it is restricted by the rib body 12 and will not press the spring attachment member 7 of the lock button 5 and release the lock.

In addition, as another example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a compartment 13 may be provided so as to surround the spring mounting member 7. The point is that even if the iron moves within the iron storage box, it does not need to hit the spring attachment member.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a rib body protruding from the inner wall of the lid in the vicinity of the spring attachment member, and this rib body protrudes inward from the spring attachment member, so that iron storage is possible. Even if the iron stored in the box moves inside the box or falls toward the lid, the rib body prevents the iron from pressing on the spring mounting member, preventing the iron storage box from pressing during transportation. To provide a safe iron storage box in which a locking device does not come off even if the iron moves inside the iron storage box, and the iron does not fly out from the iron storage box.
