Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a cylindrical container and a synthetic resin case housing the same, and more specifically, it relates to a cylindrical container and a synthetic resin case housing the same. The present invention relates to a cylindrical container storage case suitable for transporting and storing cylindrical containers.

(Prior Art) An example of a large container is a stainless steel beer barrel shown in FIG. The beer barrel 1 is provided with a bottom part 7 and a lid part 9 located inside the upper and lower parts of a cylindrical body 5 having inward curls 3 formed at the upper and lower ends thereof, with the bottom part 7 and the lid part 9 being located further inward than the curls 3.

Furthermore, a descending pipe 13 having a cap 11 at its upper end and having a lower end close to the bottom 7 is inserted and fixed in the center of the lid part 9. Further, a hand hole 15 is formed in the cylindrical body 5 at a position above the lid portion 9.

Further, large bottles, for example, large bottles containing 20 liters, are used for transporting and storing liquids such as drinking water and seasonings. Such large bins are not only difficult to carry, but also cannot be stacked for storage.

Therefore, US Pat. No. 3,802,595 proposes an example of a transport case for large bottles. This case connects the pillars 16 at the four corners with side walls 17, and a recess 21 into which the mouth of a bottle fits is formed on the lower surface of the center of the bottom 19, and side ends of the pillars 16 are formed inside the four corners. A reinforcing plate 23 is provided to connect the two. Further, large and small connecting rings 25, 27 are provided near the support portions 16 on the outer surfaces of the opposing side walls 17.
is provided so as to slightly protrude from the side wall 17. The connecting rings 25 and 27 are provided on the outer surfaces of opposing side walls, and are arranged so that the small connecting ring 27 fits into the large connecting ring 25 when the two cases are butted against each other. Therefore, when a plurality of cases are arranged in parallel, by fitting the openings of the bottles into the recesses 21, stable stacking is possible, and the bottles can be stacked horizontally.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The transport containers for beer barrels and large bottles having the above structure have the following problems.

First, in the case of the beer barrel configured as described above, if the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical body 5 are damaged during transportation, the entire beer barrel 1 becomes unusable. In addition, since the cylindrical body 5, the bottom part 7, and the lid part 9 are made of stainless steel, they are heavy and place a heavy burden on the operator during transportation and storage. Not only is there a danger of this happening, but it is even less stable when stacked vertically. Therefore, measures must be taken to prevent falls.

On the other hand, in the case of transport cases for large bottles, since they are rectangular in plan, there is little risk of them falling over during transport, but since the containers cannot be fitted together, it is necessary to stack two containers stably vertically. It is not possible. If a plurality of them are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction and connected to each other, it will be stable and it is possible to stack them in upper and lower stages, but it is necessary to arrange a plurality of them in parallel. Furthermore, when the bottles are stacked horizontally, the mouths of the bottles protrude sideways and are susceptible to impact, creating a risk of damage.

Furthermore, in any case, the conventional examples described above cannot be stacked on top of the conventionally used vertically stackable bottle transport containers, which reduces the efficiency of transporting and storing them simultaneously with conventional bottle transport containers. The problem was that it was very bad.

This invention was made in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to provide a cylindrical container storage case that is lightweight and can be stacked on top of each other, as well as with conventional bottle transport containers. That is.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, the storage case is made up of a storage case main body that is square in plan view and has an open top, a cylindrical container that is stored in the storage case main body, and a lid that is inserted into the storage case main body and fixes the cylindrical container. The case body connects the upper and lower ends of the pillars at the four corners with handles and side walls, respectively, and the bottom protrudes below the pillars and side walls so that it fits into the upper opening of another storage case of the same shape. A fixed frame is provided at the four corners of the interior to abut the cylindrical container stored therein, and the lid has a through hole in the center that allows the mouth of the cylindrical container to protrude, and the bottom surface of the lid body is provided with a fixed frame that abuts the cylindrical container stored therein. The cylindrical container is characterized by being provided with a protrusion that abuts on the top surface, and having a bottomed cylindrical shape and having an opening.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in detail below based on examples.

Figure 1 is a plan view, Figure 2 is a side view, Figure 3 is a plan view of the storage case body, Figure 4 is a bottom view of the storage case body, Figure 5 is a bottom view of the lid, Figure 6 is A- in Figure 5
7 is a sectional view taken along the line B--B in FIG. 1.

The cylindrical storage case 30 according to the present invention includes a storage case main body 31 having a rectangular shape in plan, a lid 33, and a cylindrical container 35.

The storage case body 31 is made of synthetic resin, and the upper and lower ends of the four corner pillars 37 are connected by handles 39 and side walls 41, respectively, and the portion surrounded by the pillars 37, the handles 39, and the side walls 41 is a window 43. It is composed of a grid-like bottom portion 45 and a fixed frame 47.

More specifically, the support column 37 and the side wall 41 have a hollow structure consisting of an inner wall and an outer wall. That is, the support portion 37 is connected to the inner wall 4
9 and an outer wall 51 formed with a certain space on the outside thereof are connected by a connecting plate 52 to form a hollow support having a void 53 having a substantially triangular or dogleg-shaped cross section. on the other hand,
The side wall 41 is made up of an inner wall 55 extending from the inner wall 49 forming the support column 37 and an outer wall 57 extending from the outer wall 51, and is a hollow side wall having a gap 59 between the inner wall 55 and the outer wall 57. (See Figures 4 and 7).

Further, the handle 39 is formed to have a U-shaped cross section, and the lattice-like bottom portion 45 is formed to protrude downward from the support portion 37 and the side wall 41 so as to fit into the upper opening of another storage case of the same shape. It consists of a bottom frame 61 and lattice ribs 63,
The inner surface is a curved surface 65 that matches the bottom shape of the cylindrical container 35 to be stored.

The fixed frame 47 includes partition plates 67 extending in the same direction as the connection plates 52 at both ends of the support column 37, and a holding plate 69 that connects the partition plates 67 and abuts against the side surface of the cylindrical container 35. Therefore, the portion surrounded by the fixed frame 47 and the inner wall 55 of the support portion 37 constitutes a substantially diamond-shaped gap 71, and the lattice-shaped ribs 63 of the lattice-shaped bottom portion 45 are cut out in the gap 71.

Further, the upper end of the fixing frame 47 is formed at a height sufficient to accommodate the cylindrical container 35 and to press and fix the lid 33 against the upper surface of the cylindrical container 35 when the lid 33 is attached. There is.

Next, the lid body 33 has the same planar shape as the storage case main body 31, and is a plate-like body inserted from the upper opening, with a through hole 75 in the center from which the mouth of the cylindrical container 35 protrudes.
is bored, and pressing protrusions 77 are protruded from the lower surface at diagonal positions. The peripheral edges of the pressing protrusion 77 and the through hole 75 are configured to come into contact with the upper surface of the cylindrical container 35 when the lid 33 is mounted and fixed on the upper end of the fixing frame 47.

In the embodiment, the lid 33 is fixed by welding to the upper end of the fixed frame 47.

In this way, the stored cylindrical container 35 is pressed and fixed by the lid 33, so even if the storage case is turned upside down, the cylindrical container 35 remains secure.
5 can be safely transported and stored without falling out, and cleaning work can be easily performed.

The cylindrical container 35 has an opening 79 at the top and has a bottomed cylindrical shape. In the case of pressure drinks, a container made of stainless steel is preferable, but the material and shape are not particularly limited.

The cylindrical container storage case according to the present invention is assembled as follows.

That is, the cylindrical container 35 is stored in the storage case main body 31,
Thereafter, the lid 33 is inserted through the upper opening, the mouth of the cylindrical container 35 is projected into the through hole 75, and placed on the fixed frame 47, and the protrusion 77 and the periphery of the through hole 75 are placed on the top surface of the cylindrical container. Just make them come into contact and fix it.

In the above embodiment, the support column 37 and the side wall 41 of the storage case body 31 have a hollow structure with a gap, but the structure is not limited to this, and a rib structure with reinforcing ribs provided on the outer surface may be used.

Further, although the lid body 33 is fixed to the upper end of the fixed frame 47 by welding, other known fixing means may be used.

It goes without saying that the inner surface shape of the bottom portion 37 and the shape of the protrusion 77 of the lid body 33 may be changed depending on the shape of the container to be accommodated. Furthermore, the cylindrical container 35 may be any large container such as a barrel, a bottle, or a plastic bottle.

According to the above embodiment, since the storage case main body 31 is made of synthetic resin, the overall weight can be reduced compared to a stainless steel beer barrel, and transportation and storage operations are easy.

Further, since the cylindrical container 35 is also stored in the storage case main body 31 and fixed by pressing with the lid 33, it is easy to transport and store, and it is possible to stack the containers in a stable manner.

Furthermore, if the storage case body 31 is made to have the same dimension on at least one side as a conventional bottle transportation container, stacking becomes possible, and transportation and storage can be made more efficient.

Furthermore, since the mouth of the cylindrical container does not protrude, there is no risk of damage to the container.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to reduce the overall weight and stack them on top of each other, improving workability in transportation and storage.
Safety can be ensured.

In addition, it is possible to stack them together with conventional bottle transport containers, making transport and storage more efficient.

Furthermore, since the cylindrical container can be protected, damage to the container due to impact can be prevented.
