Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a case, and particularly to a case that is portable and has at least a net-like peripheral surface.

[Background technology]

A typical case, for example, a storage case for a small electric device, is made of a plate-like member, and as a result, the case itself is heavy and inconvenient to carry. Furthermore, in order to reduce weight, net-like objects made of wire mesh or synthetic resin mesh have been proposed, but these have only the function of carrying items inside.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was created in view of these points, and its purpose is not only to carry the items stored inside, but also to allow them to be stored compactly when they are not needed, and also to be used as a so-called hanger net. This is to provide a case that can be used.

[Disclosure of the invention]

Therefore, the present invention is a case consisting of a polygonal tube with both ends open, and a lid body detachably attached to each end opening of the polygonal tube,
The polygonal cylinder is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of net-shaped rectangular frames by hinges, and is removably locked by stops and stopper hooks on each edge of the frames at both ends, so that it can be folded and unfolded. One of these frames is
A pair of lids are formed separately into both end parts that fit together and a central part that remains, and the central part can be opened and closed, and the frame is made up of a plurality of sequentially connected frames. It can also be used as a hanger net, and when assembled as a case, the contents can be taken in and out by opening and closing the central part of the frame without removing the lid. be.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on illustrated embodiments. The illustrated case 1 is designed to be used for packaging electrical equipment such as a hair dryer, and also has the function of a carrying case. It consists of a pair of lids 3, 3 which are removably attached to openings at both ends of a rectangular tube formed by the body 2, respectively. Each frame 2 is integrally formed in a sequentially connected shape by molding synthetic resin such as ABS resin or polypropylene, and
The thin hinge portion 4, which is a connecting portion connecting each frame body 2, is also molded integrally with the frame body 2, and furthermore, the frame body 2 of the pair of frame bodies 2 located at both ends is formed integrally with the frame body 2. Handle portions 5 are provided at the center of the edges that are butted together when forming the into a rectangular tube shape.
It is also molded in one piece. And a stopper 6 is attached to one of the pair of edges here.
A stopper hook 7 to which a stopper 6 is locked on the other side.
are provided integrally with each other, and a fitting convex portion 8 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the central portion of the side edge of each frame 2 which will be located at both end openings when formed into a rectangular tube shape. There is.

The above-mentioned pair of lids 3, 3 are of the same shape and are both placed on the outer surface of the openings at both ends of the rectangular tube formed by the frame 2, and have a fitting recess 9 in the center of the inner peripheral surface. By fitting the fitting concave portion 9 and the fitting convex portion 8 using the elasticity of the frame body 2, which is a synthetic resin molded product, each lid body 3 can be attached to and detached from the rectangular tube. It is supposed to be installed so that the operation is easy and the engagement is reliable.

If a pair of lids 3 are attached to each of the connected frames 2 with the edges of the frames 2 at both ends abutting against each other so that the connected frames 2 form a rectangular tube shape, then the first
It has the form shown in the figure, and by holding handles 5, 5, articles stored inside can be carried. Here, the stored article can be taken out by removing the lid 3, but in the case shown in this embodiment, the frame at one end having one handle 5 is removed. The body 2 is provided with separate end portions 20, 20 and a center portion 21 into which the pair of lid portions 3 are fitted, and the handle can be opened by releasing the lock between the stopper 6 and the stopper hook 7. Central part 21 in which part 5 is provided integrally
can be opened as shown in FIG. 5, and articles can therefore be taken in and taken out by opening and closing the central portion 21.

When not being carried, the connected frames 2 can be folded by removing both lids 3, 3, so that they can be stored compactly. The frame bodies 2 are connected in sequence, and the edges of the frame bodies 2 at both ends are butted against each other when forming the rectangular tube shape, so that the entire frame is connected as shown in Fig. 6. The body 2 can be unfolded and expanded, and can be used as a hanger net. Moreover, when used as this hanger net, the lid body 3 can be used as a stand for various articles as shown in FIG. 7 by using a hanging hook 15 as shown in FIG. 9. becomes. Further, by using a hanging hook 14 having a shape as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to suspend and hold various articles. These hanging hooks 14,
15 may be formed integrally with the frame body 2 in advance. When used as such a hanger net, hang the frame 2 with the openable and closable central part 21 facing downward and with the fitting convex part 8 facing the back side. Lower it and use it. 16 in the diagram
is a wall hanging bracket.

In the above embodiment, the number of frames 2 is 4 and the shape is rectangular cylinder, but 3, 5, etc.
Of course, it may be a polygonal cylinder such as a rectangular cylinder or a pentagonal cylinder, and each frame 2 including the hinge part 4 is integrally molded so that it does not come apart when disassembled. Although we have shown a method that does not cause any risk of injury, metal mesh may also be used, and each frame 2
They may be formed separately and connected using a hinge member which is a separate part. Furthermore, the net shape can be formed into any desired shape, such as a combination of round bars or a combination of elongated plate-like members.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, a polygonal cylinder is formed by hinge-connecting net-like rectangular frames in sequence and removably locking the ends of the frame bodies with stops and stopper hooks. Because it is designed to be foldable and expandable,
Not only can it be used as a case, but it can also be used as a hanger net by removing and unfolding the lid, and one of the frames is
Since the pair of lids are formed separately into both ends that fit together and the remaining central part, and the central part can be opened and closed, the lids are attached to the openings at both ends of the polygonal cylinder. In this state, articles can be taken in and out of the case by opening and closing the central part without removing the lid.
