Description

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

Prior Art A conventional iron storage box of this type has a structure shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

That is, the main body 101 is made of plastic and has a housing shape with one side open, and a handle 1 is provided on the top surface of the main body 101 for storing the iron in an independent state for convenient carrying.
02 is provided. A lid 103 attached to the opening edge of the main body 101 with a hinge 104 so as to be openable and closable has a lock button 106 that engages with a locking part 105 of the main body 101.
is provided. Further, a heat shield plate 107 is held in the main body 101 in a hollow shape with a gap between the heat shield plate 107 and the inner wall of the main body 101, and a stand 108 on which an iron is placed is provided at the inner bottom of the main body 101. The hinge 104 is provided at two locations above and below the opening edge, and hinge bearings A1 are provided integrally with the main body 101.
09, the hinge bearing B110, and the hinge bearings A109, B110, which are integrally provided on the lid 103.
It is comprised of a hinge bearing C111 that fits between them, and a hinge shaft 112 that connects the hinge bearings A109, B110, and C111.

Problems to be solved by the invention However, the iron storage box with the conventional structure had the following problems.

The hinge bearing C111 and the hinge bearing A109, and the hinge bearing C111 and the hinge bearing B110 had to be highly accurate because the hinge shaft 112 could not be inserted unless their respective shaft holes were aligned in a straight line. In addition, the hinge shaft 1 of the upper and lower hinges 104
12 are not on a straight line in the same way, the lid 1
03 cannot be opened and closed smoothly, the upper and lower hinge shafts 112 were required to have high precision. This precision is achieved by making the plastic body 101 and lid 103
It has been extremely difficult to reliably maintain this condition, considering the deformation of plastic during molding and its poor dimensional stability.

Furthermore, the hinge bearing A of the main body 101 and the lid 103
109, B110, and C111 by passing the hinge shaft 112 through them, the number of parts was large and the ease of assembly was poor.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide an iron storage box which can ignore the poor dimensional stability of plastic, has a small number of parts, is easy to assemble, and whose lid can be opened and closed smoothly. .

Means for Solving the Problems The iron storage box of the present invention that solves the above problems has shaft members provided at two vertically separated locations on one side of the periphery of the opening of the main body, and having a shaft. and a bearing member having a bearing, the shaft member and the bearing member are formed integrally with the main body and the lid, respectively, and both ends of the shaft member are held between the bearing members from the outside, and , the shaft portion of the shaft member and the bearing portion of the bearing member are provided on either one of the clamping surfaces.

Function In the above configuration, since the shaft part and bearing part are provided on either the clamping surface of the upper and lower hinges, it is easy to configure the upper and lower axes in a straight line, and the lid can be opened and closed smoothly. Since the parts are held between the upper and lower parts by bearing members, the distance between the upper and lower parts is relatively long, resulting in poor dimensional stability.
Since the distance between each shaft member and bearing member is short, dimensional changes can be ignored, and the shaft and bearing will not come off.

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

In Figures 1 to 3, the main body 1 is made of plastic and has an opening on one side and is shaped like a casing and stores the iron in an independent state.A sliding handle 2 is provided on the top surface of the main body 1 for convenient carrying. It is being A plastic lid 3 is attached to the main body 1 so that it can be opened and closed by hinges 4 provided above and below one side of the opening edge of the main body 1.
is equipped with a lock button 6 that engages with a locking portion 5 of the main body 1. The heat shield plate 7 is held in a hollow shape with a gap between it and the inner wall of the main body 1, and a stand 8 on which an iron is placed is provided at the inner bottom of the main body 1.
The hinge 4 is composed of a shaft member 10 having a shaft 9 integrally formed with the lid 3, and a bearing member 12 having a bearing 11 integrally formed with the main body 1 so as to sandwich the upper and lower parts of the shaft member 10. There is. The shaft 9
The bearings 11 are provided only above and below the upper and lower hinges 4, respectively, and are arranged in a straight line.

In the above configuration, the hinge 4 is assembled by forcibly pushing the shaft member 10 into the bearing member 12, so that the shaft 9 deforms the corresponding bearing member 12 due to the elasticity of the plastic, and advances to the bearing 11 to fit. , can be assembled quickly and easily.

In addition, since the shaft 9 and the bearing 11 are arranged above and below the hinge 4, the pivot points of the lid 3 are the two points above and below the upper and lower hinges 4, and they cannot be arranged in a straight line. It is easy to do so, and even a slight deviation does not particularly hinder the opening and closing of the lid 3. Furthermore, since the shaft member 10 is held between the bearing members 12, a slight deviation in the vertical relationship between the upper and lower hinges 4 is absorbed, and the instability of the dimensions of the plastic can be ignored. will not come off when the lid 3 is opened or closed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention forms a shaft member and a bearing member integrally with a main body and a lid, respectively, holds both ends of the shaft member from the outside with the bearing members, and By providing the shaft portion and the bearing portion of the bearing member on either one of the clamping surfaces, it is possible to realize a hinge that is extremely simple and easy to assemble by combining the main body and the lid without using screws or the like. In addition, due to the elasticity of the material that is integrally formed with the resin main body, the bearing member and the bearing portion can be reliably fitted, and the lid can be opened and closed smoothly.

In particular, by sandwiching both ends of the shaft member between the bearing members from the outside, even if the bearing member and the bearing portion are provided apart from each other in the vertical direction, a firm fitted state can be maintained. Therefore, it is possible to structurally compensate for the flexible dimensional instability characteristic of resin, which is easily deformed by external forces such as pressurization, and to make use of this characteristic to obtain a hinge with excellent durability. .
