Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a transfer container, and more particularly, to a transfer container used for discharging articles inside after containing and transferring the articles.

[Background of the Invention] It is usually extremely difficult to store an item in a container, and when it is full, transfer it to another place, remove the contained item, and move the empty container to the original place again. It is done normally.

As an example, waste products in the factory, such as cutting waste produced by metalworking with a machine tool, are collected in a specified container, transported to the outside of the factory using a forklift, discarded in a specified box, and then emptied again. Use the forklift to return the container to the original.

In such an operation, in the case of a conventional ordinary container, the container is carried by a forklift to a place where it is abandoned, and then the fork of the forklift is operated to invert the container from the fork and drop it, and the contents are discarded at a predetermined place. . In this case, even if there is no hindrance in the work up to that point, it is very troublesome to return the container in the dropped state to the forklift again while it is reversed, and it requires a lot of manpower or is dangerous.

[Object of the Invention] In consideration of such conventional problems, the present invention relates to a container which is transferred by using a forklift, and the container is inverted on the forklift to discharge the contents, and then the container is correctly transferred to the forklift again. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transfer container that can be returned and an empty container can be transferred.

[Configuration of Device] Next, the device will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a transfer container 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a box body 12 whose entire upper portion is open.
The width of 12 is set to be slightly smaller than the inner distance between a pair of forks F of a forklift (not shown), and its length is shorter than the length of the forks F.

As shown in FIG. 1, the box body 12 has a box body at its front end.
It is preferable to have a shape that projects obliquely outward from the bottom of 12 toward the top.

A front guide protrusion 16 and a rear guide protrusion 18 are fixed to the front end and the rear end of both sides of the rectangular bottom face 14 of the box body 12, respectively. Also, both of these protrusions 16, 18
The front shaft 20 and the rear shaft 22 so as to cooperate with
Are provided so as to project outward from both sides of the shaft at least somewhat longer than the width of the fork F, and a front wheel 24 and a rear wheel 26 are rotatable about the shafts 20 and 22 at the ends of the shafts 20 and 22. It is attached to. Further, an extension member 28 projecting downward is fixed at a position near the front wheel 24 at the center of the bottom surface 14 of the bottom.

[Operation and Effect] Since the transfer container 10 of the present invention is configured as described above in detail, it is optimal for putting the contents in the box 12 and carrying it by using a forklift. That is, for example, with the container 10 placed on the floor, the forklift is operated to insert the fork F below the rear shaft 22 between the rear guide protrusion 18 and the rear wheel 26 to move the fork F forward. After passing under the front shaft 20 between the front guide protrusion 16 and the front wheel 24, the fork F can be raised and moved to another position.

Next, when the contents of the box body 12 are to be abandoned at a predetermined place, the box body 12 placed on the fork F of the forklift is brought close to the place to be abandoned, and extends, for example, above the enclosure wall at the place to be abandoned. The fork F is lifted higher than the upper edge of the projecting member P (1) (FIG. 4), and is moved forward (arrow A) to extend the extension portion 28 fixed to the bottom bottom surface 14 of the box body 12 to the projecting member P. (1) Position it further forward so that the box body 2 on the fork F is above the inside of the enclosure for discarding its contents. Next, if the fork lifts backwards while lowering the fork F and bringing the upper end of the protruding member P (2) into contact with the bottom lower surface 14, the bottom lower surface 14 of the box body 12 placed on the fork F is removed. The extending portion 28 collides with the projecting member P (2), and the box body 12 is held in place. Then, by retracting the forklift in the direction opposite to the arrow A, the front shaft 20 of the box 12 is disengaged from the front end of the fork F. At the same time, the box body 12 can be rotated about the rear shaft 22 as shown in FIG. 5, and the contents in the box body 12 can be discharged to a place where they are all discarded.

To restore this, you can reverse the above operation.
That is, the forklift is advanced in the direction of arrow A in order to mount the box body 12 in which the front shaft 20 is separated from the fork F on the fork F. In this way, when the projecting member P comes into contact with the extension portion 28 on the lower surface of the bottom of the box body 12, the front shaft 20 rides on the fork F, and the box body 12 is completely placed on the fork F. Therefore, the fork F is lifted so that the protruding member P does not come into contact with the extension portion 28 of the box body 12, and the fork F is moved from the place where the forklift is abandoned to another appropriate position.

According to this invention, as can be fully understood from the above,
A forklift operator can operate the forklift alone to transfer the contents of the transfer container 10 to another, release the contents without human assistance, and properly return the container 10 to the fork. It is possible.
