Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a storage box for a puzzle such as a jigsaw puzzle, in which a pattern or the like is completed by combining the pieces.

[Conventional technology]

The difficulty of assembling jigsaw puzzles differs depending on the number of pieces, and as the number of pieces increases, it takes more time, so while the difficulty and time are directly proportional, the fun doubles. For this reason, users who are interested in jigsaw puzzles continually request jigsaw puzzles with a large number of pieces that are difficult and take a long time to complete. As a result of manufacturers' efforts to satisfy these user demands, products with a number of pieces (several thousand pieces) that take several days to assemble are now on the market.
In order to efficiently combine jigsaw puzzles with a large number of pieces like this, it is generally necessary to select pieces with clear characteristics such as corners and edges, and to sort the pieces in the middle picture area into several ways by color or pattern. It is said that it is a good idea to start from the beginning.

However, it is inconvenient that the pieces classified as described above are simply placed in blocks around the mount because there is a risk that they will be mixed with each other after the assembly is started or during the interruption. Also, if you have a small box on hand, you can put it in there, but sometimes such a small box is not available, and it is troublesome for the manufacturer to attach a small box in advance. This led to high costs.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned points, the object of this invention is to provide a storage box for puzzles such as jigsaw puzzles, which can form a small box for storing classified pieces when assembling jigsaw puzzles.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention consists of a box main body and a lid box that can be placed over the box main body, and a bottom plate equipped with a partition plate on the inner bottom surface of the box main body that can be knocked down or folded when storing puzzles. After the puzzle is loaded and taken out from inside the box, the partition plate can be erected to separate the puzzles into a plurality of small boxes.

〔Example〕

Next, this invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a box main body, and the box main body 1 is the sixth
As shown in the figure, it is made of folded boxes. This folding box is not normally used as a storage box for jigsaw puzzles because the back side of the base material is exposed on the inner bottom surface 1a, which makes it look unsightly and reduces the product value. It can be used without any problem. Of course, there is no need to limit the box main body 1 to folded boxes.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a bottom plate mounted on the inner bottom surface 1a of the box main body 1, and the bottom plate 2 is provided with a plurality of (three in the figure) main partition plates 3 that can be raised and folded on the upper surface thereof. Although the main partition plate 3 is formed by folding the bottom plate 2, it may be formed by other methods.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a sub-partition plate for maintaining the main partition plate 3 in an upright state as shown in the third figure, and for dividing the inside of the box main body 1 into a plurality of chambers (eight chambers in the figure); A notch 4 on the lower edge of the partition plate 4 that can fit into the notch 3a provided on the upper edge of the main partition plate 3.
A is provided.

5 is a jigsaw puzzle, 6 is a bag containing the jigsaw puzzle 5 in the form of separate pieces, and 7 is a lid box that covers the box main body 1. The lid box 7 is formed of a so-called decorative box.

In the above embodiment, the main partition plate 3 provided on the bottom plate 2 loaded on the inner bottom surface 1a of the box main body 1 is replaced by the sub partition plate 4.
By removing it and folding it down, and stacking the removed sub-partition plate 4 on top of it as shown in the first figure, a sufficient space A can be secured to accommodate the bag 6 containing the saw puzzle 5, as shown in the second figure. By covering the lid box 7, it becomes a product.

On the other hand, after the user purchases the product, when assembling the jigsaw puzzles, the user takes out the jigsaw puzzle 5 from the box main body 1, stands up the main partition plate 3 provided on the bottom plate 2, and moves the sub partition plate 4 as shown in the third figure. When fitted, the inside of the box main body 1 can be divided into a plurality of sections as shown in the fourth figure. This division can be used as a small box to hold groups of classified pieces to make them easier to combine.

In the embodiment described above, the main partition plate 3 is provided on the bottom plate 2 mounted on the bottom surface of the box main body 1, and the sub partition plate 4 is provided in a removable manner, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom plate 2 may be formed into a bellows shape, the peaks of the bottom plate 2 may be used as the main partition plate 3, and the sub-partition plate 4 may be fitted across the peaks. By doing this, when storing the jigsaw puzzle, the bottom plate 2 can be folded as shown by the two-dot chain line, and when it is used, the bottom plate 2 can be extended and the sub-partition plate can be assembled.
Each partitioned valley can be used as a small box in which classified pieces are individually placed.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention consists of a box main body and a lid box that can be covered with the box main body.
It is characterized by a bottom plate equipped with a partition plate that can be knocked down or folded when storing puzzles, so after taking out a jigsaw puzzle etc. from the box main body, by setting up the partition plate, the inside of the box main body can be opened. Can be divided into multiple rooms. Therefore, in order to efficiently combine jigsaw puzzles, etc., groups of classified pieces can be stored separately for each group, which has the effect of facilitating the work of combining jigsaw puzzles, etc.

In addition, since this invention loads the bottom plate on the inner bottom surface of the box main body, even if it is formed by folding the box, it can cover up the unsightly back side of the base material exposed on the inner bottom surface of the box main body, so the puzzle As a storage box, the main body of the box can be formed from a folded box, which was disliked because it obstructs the appearance, and there is no problem, and it can contribute to reducing the overall cost, etc., and has various effects.
