Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a transport container,
In particular, the present invention relates to a transport container used for storing, storing, transporting, transporting, and displaying at a store a beverage can filled with various beverages such as juice, coffee, and beer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a transport container for accommodating, storing, transporting and transporting a large number of cans containing various kinds of beverages, a corrugated cardboard is bent into a predetermined box shape, and a lid and the like are bonded. What was used is used.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned corrugated cardboard transport containers are inferior in water resistance, low in strength, and cannot be used repeatedly. The gap could not be regulated, and the cargo collapsed easily.

On the other hand, among the various types of transport containers made of synthetic resin, those having a predetermined vertical direction are provided with appropriate concave and convex shapes which are engaged with each other at the time of stacking on the top surface and the bottom surface. Position control during stacking can be performed. However, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
In the case where a box-shaped storage body (container main body) having the same shape is used to face each other as in the case of the transport container for beverage can described in Japanese Patent No. In such an uneven shape, the protrusions and the recesses face each other during stacking, so that the position cannot be regulated.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin transport container having a structure capable of reliably controlling the position during stacking even in a transport container used in the same shape of a box-shaped storage body. And

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a transport container according to the present invention comprises an article formed by combining a pair of upper and lower box-shaped storage bodies having the same shape and having a side wall erected on the periphery of a substantially rectangular substrate. In the transport container for storing the above, while forming convex portions at four corners of the substrate outer surface of the box-shaped storage body, the convex portions located on the diagonal line have the same shape, the adjacent convex portions,
When the bottom surfaces of the substrates face each other, they are shaped to engage with each other.

[0007]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a transport container of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view showing a stacked state of transport containers, and FIG. 2 is provided on an outer surface of a substrate. It is explanatory drawing which shows the positional relationship of a convex part.

In the transport container shown in this embodiment, the long side wall 12 and the short side wall 13 which are approximately half the height of the beverage can to be stored are opposed to the periphery of the rectangular substrate 11 so as to expand outward. It is made of a synthetic resin comprising a box-shaped storage body 14 which is erected in a slightly inclined state and has an inner periphery as a storage part,
Substrate 11 of one box-shaped storage body 14 with storage section facing upward
A predetermined number of, for example, 24 (six packs x 4) beverage cans are placed on the top and arranged in the storage section, and another box-shaped storage body 14 with the storage section facing downward is covered from above. By contacting the tips of the side walls 12 and 13 of both box-shaped storage bodies 14 in such a manner, the beverage can is stored.

The long side wall 12 is provided with a window 15 having a relatively large opening area for directly confirming a part of the stored beverage can from outside when the beverage can is stored. In addition, a locking member 16 is provided on one of the short side walls 13.
On the other side, locking portions 17 are provided, respectively. When the beverage can is stored, the locking member 16 provided on one box-shaped storage body 14 is rotated to provide a lock provided on the other box-shaped storage body 14. Stop 17
Are formed so that the two box-shaped housings 14 can be integrally connected to each other.

At four corners on the outer surface of the substrate 11,
The convex portions 21, 22, 2 having positions and shapes as shown in FIG.
3 and 24 are provided respectively. First, the protruding portions 21 and 22 located on one diagonal line D1 are protruded from the arc-shaped first protruding piece 31 corresponding to the outer peripheral shape of the substrate 11 at an appropriate interval on the inner peripheral side thereof. And the second protruding piece 32. The protruding portions 23 and 24 located on the other diagonal line D2 are the third protruding pieces 3 corresponding to the shapes between the first protruding piece 31 and the second protruding piece 32 in the protruding portions 21 and 22.
3 and a fourth protrusion 3 corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of the second protrusion 32.
4.

That is, when the transport containers are stacked and the outer surfaces of the substrates 11 face each other, the convex portions 21 and
2 and the protruding portions 23 and 24 face each other, and between the first protruding piece 31 and the second protruding piece 32 of the protruding portions 21 and 22, the third protruding pieces of the protruding portions 23 and 24 are provided. 33 is fitted and engaged, and between the third protruding piece 33 and the fourth protruding piece 34 of the protruding parts 23 and 24, the second protruding piece 32 of the protruding parts 21 and 22 is fitted and engaged. It is formed so that. At this time, depending on the stacking direction of the upper and lower transport containers, the convex portion 23 is
There is a case where the projections 24 are engaged and a case where the projections 24 are engaged. In any case, a reliable engagement body can be obtained.

Therefore, even if the transport containers storing the stored items such as beverage cans are stacked without considering the direction, the upper and lower transport containers can be stacked at a predetermined position, which may cause a positional shift. And the collapse of cargo can be prevented.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, even when the grounding projection 41 is provided at the center of the substrate 11, the grounding projection 41 is provided on one diagonal line and the same position from the center on the other diagonal line. 1, the lower grounding projection 41a is placed on the lower surface of the upper substrate 11 and the upper grounding projection 41b is placed on the upper surface of the lower substrate 11 at the time of stacking, as shown in FIG. In this state, the grounding protruding pieces do not face each other, and deformation of the central portion of the substrate can be prevented.

The shape of each protruding portion is arbitrary as long as it is formed in the above-described positional relationship and engaging relationship, straight lines may be combined, and the number of projecting pieces may be appropriately selected.

[0015]

As described above, the transport container of the present invention is provided with convex portions of a predetermined shape which are engaged with each other at the time of stacking the containers at predetermined positions on the outer surface of the substrate. Can be prevented.
