Description

本発明は、物品を輸送または保管するためのコンテナ、より詳しくは組立および分解することが可能な組立式コンテナおよびこの組立式コンテナを構成する部材等を結合するための結合具に関する。   The present invention relates to a container for transporting or storing articles, and more particularly, to an assembly container that can be assembled and disassembled, and a coupler for connecting members constituting the assembly container.

一般に組立式コンテナは、再使用可能なプラスチック製のパレットと、段ボール製のスリーブと、段ボールまたはプラスチック製の天蓋とからなる。パレットは底板に連接された側壁を有し、スリーブはこの側壁内側に立設させる構成である。さらに、このスリーブ上に天蓋を被せ、ポリプロピレン（ＰＰ）バンド等の結合具で結合することにより、コンテナとして利用するものである。未使用時には、パレットおよび天蓋とスリーブを分離し、スリーブは折り畳んだ状態で搬送することが可能である。   In general, a prefabricated container consists of a reusable plastic pallet, a cardboard sleeve, and a cardboard or plastic canopy. The pallet has a side wall connected to the bottom plate, and the sleeve is configured to stand on the inner side of the side wall. Further, the sleeve is covered with a canopy and joined with a coupler such as a polypropylene (PP) band to be used as a container. When not in use, the pallet and canopy can be separated from the sleeve, and the sleeve can be conveyed in a folded state.

この種のコンテナでは、一般にパレットおよび天蓋とスリーブとは、例えば、特許文献１に記載のクリップを用いて結合される。スリーブには、上下にそれぞれクリップを取り付けるための取付孔が形成されている。特許文献１に記載のクリップでは、この取付孔にクリップのオス・スペーサおよびメス・スペーサを嵌め込み、さらにそれぞれの溝を介してオス・スナップ部材にラチェット・ウェッジを嵌め込むことにより、クリップはこの取付孔に強固に固定される。そして、このスリーブに固定されたクリップのキーを、パレットおよび天蓋に形成された連結孔に嵌め込み、回転させることにより、パレットおよび天蓋とスリーブとが結合される。
米国特許第５８６２９１７号明細書 In this type of container, the pallet, the canopy, and the sleeve are generally coupled using, for example, a clip described in Patent Document 1. The sleeve is formed with attachment holes for attaching clips to the upper and lower sides. In the clip described in Patent Document 1, the clip is attached by fitting the male spacer and female spacer of the clip into the attachment hole, and further fitting the ratchet wedge into the male snap member through the respective grooves. It is firmly fixed to the hole. Then, the key of the clip fixed to the sleeve is fitted into a connecting hole formed in the pallet and the canopy, and is rotated to couple the pallet, the canopy and the sleeve.
US Pat. No. 5,862,917

しかしながら、上記特許文献１に記載のクリップでは、スリーブにクリップを固定する際、オス・スペーサに紐状の連結部材で連結されたスナップを、オス・スペーサの溝およびメス・スペーサの溝に嵌め込み、さらに反対側からラチェット・ウェッジを嵌め込む必要があるため、スリーブを反転させて作業しなければならないという問題がある。   However, in the clip described in Patent Document 1, when the clip is fixed to the sleeve, the snap connected to the male spacer with the string-like connecting member is fitted into the groove of the male spacer and the groove of the female spacer, Furthermore, since it is necessary to insert a ratchet wedge from the opposite side, there is a problem that the sleeve must be reversed to work.

また、コスト削減のため、スリーブに段ボールが採用された場合、段ボールの廃棄時には、プラスチックス製のクリップは取り外さなければならない。しかし、一方で容易に外れるとコンテナとして機能しなくなることから、特許文献１に記載のクリップでは、ラチェット・ウェッジをスナップのラチェット・リブに噛み込ませることによって、スリーブにクリップを強固に固定する構造を採用している。   In addition, in order to reduce costs, when corrugated cardboard is used for the sleeve, the plastic clip must be removed when the cardboard is discarded. However, on the other hand, if it comes off easily, it will not function as a container. Therefore, in the clip described in Patent Document 1, the clip is firmly fixed to the sleeve by engaging the ratchet wedge with the ratchet rib of the snap. Is adopted.

このように特許文献１に記載のクリップでは、スナップに嵌め込まれたラチェット・ウェッジが、スナップのラチェット・リブに噛み込んでいるので、ペンチなどの工具を使用しなければ取り外すことができないうえ、ラチェット・ウェッジの引き抜き時にはスリーブとクリップとの間に大きな剪断力が加わることになる。そのため、強度的に弱い段ボール製のスリーブは、この剪断力が加わることによって損傷する可能性がある。スリーブが損傷した場合には、スリーブの廃棄・交換が発生する。   Thus, in the clip described in Patent Document 1, since the ratchet wedge fitted into the snap is engaged with the ratchet rib of the snap, it cannot be removed without using a tool such as pliers, and the ratchet -When pulling out the wedge, a large shearing force is applied between the sleeve and the clip. Therefore, the cardboard sleeve, which is weak in strength, may be damaged when this shearing force is applied. When the sleeve is damaged, the sleeve is discarded or replaced.

そこで、本発明においては、パレット、天蓋やスリーブ等の部材を結合するための結合具であって、取り付けおよび取り外しを容易とし、さらにこれらの部材に強固に固定することが可能な結合具およびこれを用いた組立式コンテナを提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, in the present invention, a coupler for coupling members such as a pallet, a canopy, and a sleeve, which can be easily attached and detached, and can be firmly fixed to these members, and this An object of the present invention is to provide a prefabricated container using a container.

本発明の結合具は、第１の部材を第１および第２の板材により挟持する結合具であって、第１の板材に、第１の部材に形成された取付孔を通じて第２の板材に形成された開口部と係わり合う係合片を備え、第２の板材の開口部に、係合片を拘束する拘束片を備えたものである。   The coupler according to the present invention is a coupler that clamps the first member between the first and second plate members, and the second plate member is attached to the first plate member through an attachment hole formed in the first member. An engagement piece that engages with the formed opening is provided, and a restraint piece that restrains the engagement piece is provided in the opening of the second plate member.

本発明の結合具によれば、第１の部材を第１の板材および第２の板材により挟み込み、第１の部材に形成された取付孔を通じて第１の板材の係合片を第２の板材の開口部に係わり合わせることにより容易に取り付けることができる。また、一旦、第１の板材の係合片を第２の板材の開口部に係わり合わせると、この係合片は第２の板材の開口部の拘束片により拘束されるので、容易には外れない。そのため、結合具は、第１の部材の開口部に強固に固定される。一方、取り外し時には、この拘束片による拘束を解くことにより、係合片は第２の板材の開口部から容易に外すことができる。   According to the coupler of the present invention, the first member is sandwiched between the first plate member and the second plate member, and the engagement piece of the first plate member is inserted into the second plate member through the mounting hole formed in the first member. It can be easily attached by engaging with the opening of the. Further, once the engaging piece of the first plate member is engaged with the opening of the second plate member, the engaging piece is restrained by the restricting piece of the opening of the second plate member, so that it can be easily detached. Absent. Therefore, the coupler is firmly fixed to the opening of the first member. On the other hand, at the time of removal, the engagement piece can be easily removed from the opening of the second plate member by releasing the restriction by the restriction piece.

ここで、係合片は、弾性変形することにより開口部を通じて第２の板材と係わり合うものであり、拘束片は、弾性変形することにより係合片を拘束するものであることが望ましい。これにより、第１の板材の係合片を開口部に押し込めば、係合片が変形して開口部の中を通じた後、弾性変形して原形に戻ることにより開口部と係わり合うようになる。また、拘束片は、第１の板材の係合片の押し込み時に変形してこの係合片に開口部の中を通じさせた後、弾性変形して原形に戻ることにより係合片を拘束するようになる。   Here, it is desirable that the engaging piece is engaged with the second plate member through the opening by elastic deformation, and the restraining piece is intended to restrain the engaging piece by elastic deformation. Accordingly, when the engaging piece of the first plate member is pushed into the opening, the engaging piece is deformed and passed through the opening, and then elastically deformed to return to the original shape, thereby being engaged with the opening. . Further, the restraining piece is deformed when the engaging piece of the first plate member is pushed in, and is passed through the opening through the engaging piece, and then elastically deformed to return to the original shape so as to restrain the engaging piece. become.

係合片は、開口部に嵌合するように対向配置された一対の腕部と、この腕部の先に外側に向かって形成された爪部とを備え、拘束片は、一対の腕部の内側に嵌合する形状とすることが望ましい。これにより、第１の板材の係合片を開口部に押し込めば、係合片の腕部が変形して開口部の中を通じた後、弾性変形して原形に戻ることにより係合片の腕部の先の爪部が開口部と係わり合うようになる。一旦、第１の板材の係合片を第２の板材の開口部に係わり合わせると、拘束片は一対の腕部の内側に嵌合してこれらを拘束するので、係合片が開口部から自然に外れることはない。   The engagement piece includes a pair of arm portions arranged to face each other so as to be fitted into the opening, and a claw portion formed outward from the tip of the arm portion, and the restraint piece includes a pair of arm portions. It is desirable to have a shape that fits inside. As a result, if the engaging piece of the first plate member is pushed into the opening, the arm of the engaging piece is deformed and passed through the opening, and then elastically deformed to return to the original shape. The claw part at the tip of the part comes into contact with the opening. Once the engaging piece of the first plate is engaged with the opening of the second plate, the restraining piece fits inside the pair of arms and restrains them, so that the engaging piece comes from the opening. It does not come off naturally.

なお、第１および第２の板材は、一端辺同士が連結されたものであり、この連結部は、第２の部材に形成された連結孔を貫通する結合片を備え、この結合片は、第２の部材の連結孔を貫通後、この連結孔から抜けないようにストッパ部材を嵌め込んで止めるための係止部を備えたものとすることができる。これにより、上述のように結合具を第１の部材に固定した後、連結部に備えた結合片を第２の部材の連結孔に貫通させ、この結合片の係止部にストッパ部材を嵌め込むことにより、結合片を第２の部材の連結孔に固定することができる。また、係止部に嵌め込んだストッパ部材を取り外すことで、結合片を第２の部材の連結孔から抜くことができる。   The first and second plate members are ones whose ends are connected to each other, and the connecting portion includes a connecting piece penetrating a connecting hole formed in the second member. After penetrating through the connecting hole of the second member, it may be provided with a locking portion for fitting and stopping the stopper member so as not to come out of the connecting hole.

In addition, a pair of engagement pieces 17 that engage with the opening 12 of the inner plate 3 are formed on the convex portion 16. The engaging piece 17 includes an arm portion 18 disposed at a position corresponding to the opening 12 between the restraining piece 13 and the claw guide portion 14, and a claw portion formed outward from the end of the arm portion 18. 19.

上記構成の結合具では、図２に示すように、結合具本体１の内側板３および外側板４を、それぞれの連結部６との境界のヒンジ５によって内側に折り曲げることにより、係合片８のＴ字状の両腕８ａ，８ｂが内側板３および外側板４の嵌合部９ａ，９ｂに嵌り込んでいく。一方で、外側板４の一対の係合片１７は、その先端の爪部１９が内側板３の爪ガイド部１４に当接し、爪ガイド部１４にガイドされながら、その腕部１８が開口部１２の内側に変形する。同時に、一対の係合片１７は、開口部１２の拘束片１３を外側に押し出して変形させ、爪部１９が開口部１２を通過すると、図３に示すように、その腕部１８が弾性変形して元に戻る。このとき、一対の係合片１７によって押し出されていた拘束片１３も、図３に示すように、弾性変形して元に戻り、一対の係合片１７の腕部１８の内側に嵌合する。   In the coupler having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner plate 3 and the outer plate 4 of the coupler main body 1 are bent inward by the hinges 5 at the boundaries with the respective connecting portions 6, thereby engaging pieces 8. The T-shaped arms 8 a and 8 b are fitted into the fitting portions 9 a and 9 b of the inner plate 3 and the outer plate 4. On the other hand, the pair of engaging pieces 17 of the outer plate 4 has the claw portion 19 at the tip thereof abutting against the claw guide portion 14 of the inner plate 3 and being guided by the claw guide portion 14 while the arm portion 18 is opened. 12 is deformed inside. At the same time, the pair of engagement pieces 17 pushes and deforms the restraining piece 13 of the opening portion 12 outward, and when the claw portion 19 passes through the opening portion 12, the arm portion 18 is elastically deformed as shown in FIG. Then return to the original. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the restraining piece 13 pushed out by the pair of engaging pieces 17 is also elastically deformed and returned to its original state, and is fitted inside the arm portions 18 of the pair of engaging pieces 17. .

これにより、一対の係合片１７は、爪部１９が中間壁１１の裏側に掛かるとともに、腕部１８が拘束片１３によって内側へ変形するのを防止されているので、中間壁１１に完全にロックされた状態となる。このようにロックされた係合片１７は、拘束片１３を指先で変形させて腕部１８の内側から外さない限り、ロックが解除されることはない。すなわち、外側板４の係合片１７は内側板３の開口部１２に係わり合い、ロックされるので、係合片１７は開口部１２から自然に外れることはない。   As a result, the pair of engaging pieces 17 has the claw portion 19 hooked on the back side of the intermediate wall 11 and the arm portion 18 is prevented from being deformed inward by the restraining piece 13. It will be locked. The locked engagement piece 17 is not released unless the restraint piece 13 is deformed by the fingertip and removed from the inside of the arm portion 18. That is, the engaging piece 17 of the outer plate 4 is engaged with and locked with the opening 12 of the inner plate 3, so that the engaging piece 17 does not naturally come off from the opening 12.

図４は本実施形態における結合具の使用状態を示す斜視図、図５は結合具をスリーブ部材に固定した状態を示す断面図である。本実施形態における結合具を取り付けるスリーブ部材２０には、結合具本体１を取り付けるための取付孔２１が形成されている。また、スリーブ部材２０の端部には、結合具本体１の結合部６および嵌合部９ａ，９ｂの形状に合わせた切欠部２２が形成されている。   FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a use state of the coupler in the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the coupler is fixed to the sleeve member. An attachment hole 21 for attaching the coupler main body 1 is formed in the sleeve member 20 for attaching the coupler in the present embodiment. In addition, a notch 22 is formed at the end of the sleeve member 20 in accordance with the shapes of the coupling portion 6 and the fitting portions 9a and 9b of the coupler main body 1.

本実施形態における結合具をスリーブ部材２０に固定する際、まず、図４に示すように、結合具本体１の内側板３のスペーサ１０をスリーブ部材２０の取付孔２１に嵌め込む。このとき、結合具本体１の結合部６および嵌合部９ａは、スリーブ部材２０の切欠部２２に嵌り込んだ状態となる。そして、連結部６および外側板４をヒンジ５によって内側へと折り曲げ、前述のように、係合片８の両腕８ａ，８ｂが内側板３および外側板４の嵌合部９ａ，９ｂに嵌め込むとともに、外側板４の一対の係合片１７を内側板３の開口部１２に嵌め込む。これにより、外側板４の係合片１７が内側板３の開口部１２に係わり合い、ロックされる   When fixing the coupler in the present embodiment to the sleeve member 20, first, as shown in FIG. 4, the spacer 10 of the inner plate 3 of the coupler body 1 is fitted into the mounting hole 21 of the sleeve member 20. At this time, the coupling portion 6 and the fitting portion 9a of the coupler main body 1 are in a state of being fitted into the cutout portion 22 of the sleeve member 20. Then, the connecting portion 6 and the outer plate 4 are bent inward by the hinge 5, and the arms 8a and 8b of the engaging piece 8 are fitted into the fitting portions 9a and 9b of the inner plate 3 and the outer plate 4 as described above. And a pair of engaging pieces 17 of the outer plate 4 are fitted into the openings 12 of the inner plate 3. As a result, the engagement piece 17 of the outer plate 4 is engaged with the opening 12 of the inner plate 3 and locked.

このように本実施形態における結合具によれば、スリーブ部材２０に形成された取付孔２１および切欠部２２に結合具本体１の内側板３を嵌め込み、外側板４をヒンジ５によって折り曲げて押さえるだけで、結合具をワンタッチでスリーブ部材２０に容易に取り付け、強固に固定することができる。また、一旦取り付けた後は、拘束片１３によってロックされているので、結合具はスリーブ部材２０から容易には外れない。なお、取り外し時には、拘束片１３を指先で変形させて腕部１８の内側から外すことにより、容易に結合具を取り外すことができる。なお、拘束片１３は、中間壁１１の裏側に段差を設けて形成しているので、容易に指で変形させることができる。すなわち、本実施形態における結合具の取り付けおよび取り外しには、工具は一切不要である。   As described above, according to the coupler in the present embodiment, the inner plate 3 of the coupler main body 1 is fitted into the mounting hole 21 and the cutout portion 22 formed in the sleeve member 20, and the outer plate 4 is simply bent and pressed by the hinge 5. Thus, the coupler can be easily attached to the sleeve member 20 with a single touch and firmly fixed. Also, once attached, the coupling member is not easily detached from the sleeve member 20 because it is locked by the restraining piece 13. At the time of removal, the binding piece can be easily removed by deforming the restraining piece 13 with the fingertip and removing it from the inside of the arm portion 18. Since the restraining piece 13 is formed with a step on the back side of the intermediate wall 11, it can be easily deformed with a finger. That is, no tool is required for attaching and removing the coupler in this embodiment.

FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the member storage portion, FIG. 9 is a partial sectional view of a state in which a sleeve is placed on the pallet member of the assembly type container of FIG. 6, and FIG.

図６および図７に示すように、組立式コンテナ３０は、側壁部材としての前述のスリーブ部材２０を、パレット部材４０および天蓋部材５０に結合したものである。スリーブ部材２０の上下には、予め前述のように結合具本体１が取り付けられ、固定されている。図８に示すように、パレット部材４０には、結合具本体１の結合片７を挿入可能な連結孔４１が形成されている。結合片７は、図９に示すように、パレット部材４０の連結孔４１に挿入され、連結孔４１を貫通する。結合片７の係止部７ａは、連結孔４１を貫通してパレット部材４０の裏側に突出する。この係止部７ａに、図１０に示すようにストッパ部材２を嵌め込むことにより、結合具本体１はパレット部材４０に固定される。これにより、スリーブ部材２０はパレット部材４０に結合される。   As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the assembly-type container 30 is obtained by coupling the above-described sleeve member 20 as a side wall member to a pallet member 40 and a canopy member 50. The coupler main body 1 is attached and fixed in advance on the upper and lower sides of the sleeve member 20 as described above. As shown in FIG. 8, the pallet member 40 is formed with a connection hole 41 into which the coupling piece 7 of the coupling body 1 can be inserted. As shown in FIG. 9, the coupling piece 7 is inserted into the coupling hole 41 of the pallet member 40 and passes through the coupling hole 41. The locking portion 7 a of the coupling piece 7 passes through the connection hole 41 and protrudes to the back side of the pallet member 40. As shown in FIG. 10, the coupler main body 1 is fixed to the pallet member 40 by fitting the stopper member 2 into the engaging portion 7 a. As a result, the sleeve member 20 is coupled to the pallet member 40.

なお、パレット部材４０は、底板４２に連接され立ち上がる側壁４３と下方に膨出した複数の脚４４により形成されている。脚４４は、底板４２に形成された凹凸のリブ４５により連結されている。脚４４に設けられた補強用リブ４６は、側壁４３と直接連結されている。連結孔４１は、スリーブ部材２０に固定された結合具本体１と同じピッチでパレット部材４０の側壁４３の内側に形成されており、その横にはストッパ収納部４７が形成されている。   The pallet member 40 is formed by a side wall 43 that is connected to the bottom plate 42 and rises, and a plurality of legs 44 that bulge downward. The legs 44 are connected by uneven ribs 45 formed on the bottom plate 42. The reinforcing ribs 46 provided on the legs 44 are directly connected to the side walls 43. The connection holes 41 are formed on the inner side of the side wall 43 of the pallet member 40 at the same pitch as the connector main body 1 fixed to the sleeve member 20, and a stopper storage portion 47 is formed on the side thereof.

一方の天蓋部材５０にも、パレット部材４０と同様に、結合具本体１の結合片７を挿入可能な連結孔５１と、ストッパ収納部５２が形成されている。また、天蓋部材５０には、この組立式コンテナ３０を段積みした際、ずれないように位置を規制するためのパレット固定凸部５３，５４と、補強用リブ５５とが形成されている。天蓋部材５０とスリーブ部材２０とは、パレット部材４０と同様に、連結孔５１から突き出た結合片７の係止部７ａにストッパ部材２を差し込むことで結合することができる。逆に、このストッパ部材２を引き抜くことで、結合を解くこともできる。   Similarly to the pallet member 40, one canopy member 50 is also formed with a connection hole 51 into which the coupling piece 7 of the coupling body 1 can be inserted, and a stopper housing 52. In addition, the canopy member 50 is formed with pallet fixing convex portions 53 and 54 and reinforcing ribs 55 for restricting the position so that the assembling-type containers 30 are not displaced when stacked. Similarly to the pallet member 40, the canopy member 50 and the sleeve member 20 can be coupled by inserting the stopper member 2 into the locking portion 7 a of the coupling piece 7 protruding from the connection hole 51. Conversely, the coupling can be released by pulling out the stopper member 2.

なお、取り外したストッパ部材２は、パレット部材４０および天蓋部材５０のストッパ収納部４７，５２に収納することができる。図１１はストッパ収納部４７へのストッパ部材２の収納状態を示す断面図である。ストッパ収納部４７は、底板４２を打ち抜き膨出させることにより形成されている。天蓋部材５０のストッパ収納部５２も同様である。ストッパ２は、図１に示すように、引き抜き時に指が滑らないようにひだ形成され、薄肉化され、屈曲可能とされた引き抜き片２ｂが形成されている。また、係合部２ａの下面には、ストッパ収納部４７，５２と係合して、抜け防止を図るための凸部２ｃが形成されている。   The removed stopper member 2 can be stored in the stopper storage portions 47 and 52 of the pallet member 40 and the canopy member 50. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the stopper member 2 is stored in the stopper storage portion 47. The stopper storage portion 47 is formed by punching and expanding the bottom plate 42. The same applies to the stopper accommodating portion 52 of the canopy member 50. As shown in FIG. 1, the stopper 2 is formed with a pleat so that a finger does not slip when it is pulled out, and is formed with a pullout piece 2 b that is thinned and bendable. Further, a convex portion 2c is formed on the lower surface of the engaging portion 2a so as to engage with the stopper accommodating portions 47 and 52 and prevent removal.

このような構成により、組立式コンテナ３０を分解する際、まずストッパ部材２を引き抜くが、この引き抜いたストッパ部材２を捨てることなく、ストッパ収納部４７，５２に差し込んで収納、保管することができる。これにより、ストッパ部材２の紛失を防ぐことができると共に、パレット部材４０および天蓋部材５０と常に一体として運搬することができるので、組立式コンテナ３０の再利用時の利便性が向上する。   With such a configuration, when disassembling the assembly-type container 30, the stopper member 2 is first pulled out, but can be stored and stored by being inserted into the stopper storage portions 47 and 52 without discarding the pulled-out stopper member 2. . Thereby, the loss of the stopper member 2 can be prevented, and the pallet member 40 and the canopy member 50 can always be transported as one body, so that the convenience in reusing the assembly-type container 30 is improved.

上述のように本実施形態における結合具を用いた組立式コンテナ３０は、パレット部材４０の側壁４３内側に、結合具本体１を固定したスリーブ部材２０を載置することで、結合具本体１の係合片７が連結孔４１から突き出し、また、天蓋部材５０を被せることにより、天蓋部材５０の連結孔５１から同様に係合片７が突き出すので、この突き出したそれぞれの係合片７の係止部７ａにパレット部材４０および天蓋部材５０の外側より、結合用のストッパ部材２を着脱する構造としたものである。   As described above, the assembly-type container 30 using the coupler in the present embodiment is configured such that the sleeve member 20 to which the coupler main body 1 is fixed is placed inside the side wall 43 of the pallet member 40. Since the engaging piece 7 protrudes from the connecting hole 41 and covers the canopy member 50, the engaging piece 7 similarly protrudes from the connecting hole 51 of the canopy member 50. The stopper member 2 for coupling is attached to and detached from the outer side of the pallet member 40 and the canopy member 50 to the stop portion 7a.

この構成により、結合状態の視認性も高く、かつ、組立・分解を容易に行うことが可能な組立式コンテナ３０が実現できる。また、本実施形態における組立式コンテナ３０のパレット部材４０は、脚４４が下方に膨出した片面パレットであり、図１２に示すように段積み時はパレット部材４０の脚４４が天蓋部材５０の上に載る構成である。この天蓋部材５０には、脚４４がずれないように位置を規制するためのパレット固定凸部５３，５４が形成されているので、輸送中に発生する急ブレーキ時に、上段のコンテナが滑り、落下したり、ずれて傾きが発生したりするのを防止することができる。   With this configuration, it is possible to realize the assembly type container 30 that has high visibility of the coupled state and can be easily assembled and disassembled. Further, the pallet member 40 of the assembly-type container 30 in the present embodiment is a single-sided pallet in which the legs 44 bulge downward, and the legs 44 of the pallet member 40 of the canopy member 50 are stacked when stacked as shown in FIG. This is the configuration that appears above. The canopy member 50 is formed with pallet fixing convex portions 53 and 54 for restricting the position so that the legs 44 are not displaced. Therefore, the upper container slips and falls during a sudden braking that occurs during transportation. Or the occurrence of a tilt due to the shift.

また、本実施形態における組立式コンテナ３０では、連結孔４１の位置をフォークリフトの爪が挿入される脚４４と脚４４の間ではなく、図７に示すように、両側の角部脚４４の側部に設けているので、フォークリフト作業時に爪による損傷が発生しにくい。また、パレット部材４０と一体に連結されたスリーブ部材２０は、フォークリフトで組立式コンテナ３０を持ち上げた時のパレット部材４０の変形・反りを防止する役目を果たす。そこで、スリーブ部材２０とパレット部材４０の結合位置を、脚４４の側部としたことにより、プレスで絞り込まれた脚４４の強度を活用することができる。これにより、貨物の荷くずれの要因の一つとなるパレット部材４０の変形・反り防止効果をより高めることができる。   Further, in the assembly type container 30 in the present embodiment, the position of the connecting hole 41 is not between the leg 44 and the leg 44 into which the forklift claw is inserted, but on the side of the corner leg 44 on both sides as shown in FIG. Since it is provided in the section, damage caused by the claws is difficult to occur during forklift work. The sleeve member 20 connected integrally with the pallet member 40 serves to prevent deformation and warpage of the pallet member 40 when the assembly type container 30 is lifted by a forklift. Therefore, the strength of the leg 44 squeezed by the press can be utilized by setting the coupling position of the sleeve member 20 and the pallet member 40 to the side portion of the leg 44. Thereby, the deformation | transformation and curvature prevention effect of the pallet member 40 used as one of the factors of the cargo load loss can be improved more.

13 is a perspective view of a coupler according to the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a coupling process of the coupler of FIG. 13, and FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing a coupled state of the coupler of FIG. .

図１３に示すように、本発明の第２実施形態における結合具は、結合具本体６０およびキー部材６１により構成される。結合具本体６０は、第１実施形態と同様の内側板３と外側板４とを備え、連結部６に代えて平板状のキー支持部６２を備える。連結板６２には、キー部材６１を挿入する長方形状のキー孔６３を有する。なお、スペーサ１０、中間壁１１、開口部１２、拘束片１３、爪ガイド部１４、凹部１５、凸部１６、係合片１７、腕部１８および爪部１９の構成は、第１実施形態と同様である。   As shown in FIG. 13, the coupler in the second embodiment of the present invention includes a coupler main body 60 and a key member 61. The coupler main body 60 includes an inner plate 3 and an outer plate 4 similar to those of the first embodiment, and includes a flat key support portion 62 instead of the connecting portion 6. The connecting plate 62 has a rectangular key hole 63 into which the key member 61 is inserted. The configuration of the spacer 10, the intermediate wall 11, the opening 12, the restraint piece 13, the claw guide portion 14, the concave portion 15, the convex portion 16, the engagement piece 17, the arm portion 18 and the claw portion 19 is the same as that of the first embodiment. It is the same.

キー部材６１は、上部にフランジ６４、下部につまみ６５が、角に曲面を有した角柱状の回転軸６６と一体に形成されたものである。キー部材６１は、結合具本体６０のキー孔６３に挿入される。内側板３および外側板４には、ヒンジ５を折り曲げた際、キー部材６１のフランジ６４の上下面を挟み込む凹部６７と、切欠部６８と、キー部材６１の回転軸６６に回転抵抗を与える膨出板６９とからなるフランジ係合部７０が対称に形成されている。   The key member 61 is formed integrally with a flange 64 at the top and a knob 65 at the bottom, and a prismatic rotation shaft 66 having a curved surface at the corner. The key member 61 is inserted into the key hole 63 of the coupler main body 60. When the hinge 5 is bent, the inner plate 3 and the outer plate 4 have a recess 67 that sandwiches the upper and lower surfaces of the flange 64 of the key member 61, a notch 68, and a bulge that gives rotational resistance to the rotary shaft 66 of the key member 61. A flange engaging portion 70 formed of the output plate 69 is formed symmetrically.

上記構成の結合具では、図１３に示すように、結合具本体６０のキー支持部６２のキー孔６３にキー部材６１を挿入し、ヒンジ５を屈曲させながら、キー部材６１のフランジ６４をフランジ係合部７０の凹部６７に押し込み、内側板３および外側板４を押さえる。これにより、図１４および図１５に示すように、フランジ係合部７０にキー部材６１が係合するとともに、第１実施形態と同様に、外側板４の係合片１７が内側板３の開口部１２に係わり合い、ロックされる。   In the coupler having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 13, the key member 61 is inserted into the key hole 63 of the key support portion 62 of the coupler main body 60 and the hinge 5 is bent, and the flange 64 of the key member 61 is flanged. The inner plate 3 and the outer plate 4 are pressed by being pushed into the concave portion 67 of the engaging portion 70. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the key member 61 is engaged with the flange engaging portion 70, and the engagement piece 17 of the outer plate 4 is opened to the inner plate 3 as in the first embodiment. Engage with part 12 and lock.

図１６は本実施形態における結合具を用いた組立式コンテナの斜視図、図１７は図１６の組立式コンテナの分解斜視図、図１８は図１６の組立式コンテナのパレット部材にスリーブを載置した状態の局部断面図である。   FIG. 16 is a perspective view of an assembly-type container using a coupler according to the present embodiment, FIG. 17 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly-type container of FIG. 16, and FIG. 18 is a view of placing a sleeve on the pallet member of the assembly-type container of FIG. FIG.

図１６および図１７に示すように、組立式コンテナ８０は、キー部材６１を挿入して結合具本体６０を固定したスリーブ部材２０を、第１実施形態と同様のパレット部材８１および天蓋部材８２に結合したものである。パレット部材８１および天蓋部材８２には、結合具本体１に組み付けたキー部材６１のつまみ６５を挿入可能な連結孔８３が形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, in the assembling container 80, the sleeve member 20 in which the key member 61 is inserted and the coupler main body 60 is fixed is attached to the pallet member 81 and the canopy member 82 as in the first embodiment. It is a combination. The pallet member 81 and the canopy member 82 are formed with connection holes 83 into which the knobs 65 of the key member 61 assembled to the coupler main body 1 can be inserted.

本実施形態における組立式コンテナ８０では、図１８に示すように、パレット部材８１の側壁８４の内側に、キー部材６１を挿入して結合具本体６０を固定したスリーブ部材２０を載置することで、キー部材６１のつまみ６５が連結孔８３から突き出し、また、天蓋部材８２を被せることで、同様に、天蓋部材８２の連結孔８３からキー部材６１のつまみ６５が突き出すので、この突き出したつまみ６５を図１８の想像線で示すように９０°回すことで、パレット部材８１および天蓋部材８２とスリーブ部材２０とを結合することができる。また、つまみ６５をさらに９０°回すことで、パレット部材８１および天蓋部材８２とスリーブ部材２０とを分離することができる。これにより、結合状態の視認性も高く、かつ、組立・分離を容易に行うことが可能な組立式コンテナ８０を実現できる。   In the assembly-type container 80 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the sleeve member 20 in which the key member 61 is inserted and the coupler main body 60 is fixed is placed inside the side wall 84 of the pallet member 81. The knob 65 of the key member 61 protrudes from the connection hole 83, and the knob 65 of the key member 61 similarly protrudes from the connection hole 83 of the canopy member 82 by covering the canopy member 82. As shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 18, the pallet member 81, the canopy member 82, and the sleeve member 20 can be coupled by turning 90 °. Further, the pallet member 81, the canopy member 82, and the sleeve member 20 can be separated by further turning the knob 65 by 90 °. As a result, it is possible to realize the assembly type container 80 that has high visibility of the coupled state and can be easily assembled and separated.

ここで、本実施形態におけるキー部材６１の回転時の機能について説明する。図１９は結合時のキー部材６１の状態を示す断面図、図２０は図１９の状態からキー部材６１を４５°回したときの状態を示す断面図、図２１は図１９の上方からみた回転軸６６と左右一対の膨出板６９の関係を示す図である。   Here, the function at the time of rotation of the key member 61 in this embodiment is demonstrated. 19 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of the key member 61 at the time of coupling, FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view showing a state when the key member 61 is turned 45 ° from the state of FIG. 19, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the axis | shaft 66 and a pair of right and left bulging plates 69.

図２０に示すようにキー部材６１は、角柱状の回転軸６６の一部が台形状に形成されている。そのため、図１９および図２０に示すように、つまみ６５を４５°回すと、膨出板６９が回転軸６６の角柱部にて押し広げられ、変形する。キー部材６１は、この膨出板６９が変形した状態から弾性変形して元に戻ろうとする復元力を、つまみ６５の回転抵抗に活用するものである。これにより、つまみ６５は簡単に回らないようになり、パレット部材８１および天蓋部材８２とスリーブ部材２０とが簡単に分離されないようにすることができる。また、つまみ６５の回転時には、一対の膨出板６９が弾性変形を起こすように構成しているため、つまみ６５を回す指が痛くなく、かつスムーズに回すことができる。   As shown in FIG. 20, the key member 61 has a part of a prismatic rotating shaft 66 formed in a trapezoidal shape. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, when the knob 65 is turned by 45 °, the bulging plate 69 is expanded and deformed by the prism portion of the rotating shaft 66. The key member 61 utilizes a restoring force that is elastically deformed from the deformed state of the bulging plate 69 to return to the rotational resistance of the knob 65. Thereby, the knob 65 is not easily rotated, and the pallet member 81, the canopy member 82, and the sleeve member 20 can be prevented from being easily separated. Further, when the knob 65 is rotated, the pair of bulging plates 69 are configured to undergo elastic deformation, so that the finger turning the knob 65 does not hurt and can be turned smoothly.

なお、第１、第２実施形態における結合具は、結合具本体１，６０の係合片１７および拘束片１３の弾性変形により係わり合い結合される構造であるため、樹脂成型品とするのが望ましいが、特に樹脂に限定されるものではない。また、スリーブ部材２０の材質は限定されないが、コスト、強度、繰り返し使用のための折りたたみ等を考慮すると多層の強化段ボールを用いるのが望ましい。さらに、パレット部材４０，８１および天蓋部材５０，８２は、廃プラスチックスと廃紙を破砕、ミキシングし、加熱圧縮して固めることにより再生した熱プレス成型品のボードを用いるのが、低価格で高精度の成型でき、かつ、強度も大きいので望ましい。   In addition, since the coupler in 1st, 2nd embodiment is a structure engaged and connected by the elastic deformation of the engagement piece 17 and the restraint piece 13 of the coupler main body 1 and 60, it is a resin molded product. Although desirable, it is not particularly limited to resin. The material of the sleeve member 20 is not limited, but it is desirable to use a multilayer reinforced corrugated cardboard in consideration of cost, strength, folding for repeated use, and the like. In addition, the pallet members 40 and 81 and the canopy members 50 and 82 use low-priced boards made of heat-pressed products that are regenerated by crushing, mixing, and compressing and solidifying waste plastics and waste paper. It is desirable because it can be molded with high precision and has high strength.
