Description

この発明は、紙幣や小切手等の紙葉類を取扱う紙葉類取扱装置に内部構成される紙葉類収納箱に関する。 The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage box configured inside a paper sheet handling apparatus that handles paper sheets such as banknotes and checks.

紙葉類の一例として紙幣を取扱う紙幣入出金機を例にとって説明する。
従来から金融機関等において使用される紙幣入出金機には、各種の紙幣収納箱（以降、単に収納箱と略す）が実装されている。具体的には、入金紙幣を収納する収納箱（入金庫）、出金用の紙幣を収納する収納箱（出金庫）、入出金兼用の紙幣を収納する収納箱（リサイクル庫）、入金庫やリサイクル庫に収納しない入金紙幣や出金庫から繰出された紙幣のうち出金しない紙幣を収納する収納箱（リジェクト庫）、リサイクル庫に補充する紙幣を繰出しリサイクル庫から回収する紙幣を収納する収納箱（装填回収庫）などがある。 A banknote depositing / dispensing machine that handles banknotes will be described as an example of paper sheets.
2. Description of the Related Art Various banknote storage boxes (hereinafter simply referred to as storage boxes) are mounted on banknote depositing and dispensing machines that have been used in financial institutions and the like. Specifically, a storage box for storing deposited banknotes (bank deposit), a storage box for storing banknotes for withdrawal (cashbox), a storage box for storing banknotes for both deposit and withdrawal (recycle box), A storage box for storing banknotes that are not withdrawn from banknotes that are not stored in the recycle box or banknotes that are not withdrawn from the safe (reject box), and a storage box that stores banknotes that are fed into the recycle box and collected from the recycle box (Loading and collecting storage).

紙幣入出金機は、入金時に入金された紙幣を複数の収納箱に金種別に分けて収納し、出金時にはこれらの収納箱から必要な金種の紙幣を繰出して出金する入出金処理構造を有している。前記紙幣入出金機を運用して一日の業務が終了すると、金融機関等は該紙幣入出金機の機内に存在している紙幣をすべて収納箱に回収し、その回収した収納箱を係員が紙幣入出金機から取出して出納室や現金処理センタに運搬して保管している。また、始業時に係員は、収納箱を持ち運んで紙幣入出金機に収納操作している。このように取扱われる収納箱には係員が収納箱を持ち運ぶための取っ手が設けられている。 The banknote depositing and dispensing machine stores banknotes deposited at the time of depositing in multiple storage boxes according to denominations, and deposits and withdraws banknotes of necessary denominations from these storage boxes at the time of withdrawal. have. When the banknote depositing / dispensing machine is operated and one day of work is completed, the financial institution etc. collects all the banknotes existing in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine into a storage box, They are taken out from banknote depositing and dispensing machines and transported to and stored in a cashier room or cash processing center. In addition, a staff member carries a storage box and stores it in a banknote depositing and dispensing machine at the start of business. The storage box handled in this way is provided with a handle for an attendant to carry the storage box.

この種の取っ手の一例として、収納箱(カセット)の両側面に取っ手の回動支持部を持ち、該回動支持部を支点に取っ手を起立傾倒自在に軸支したものが提案されている（例えば特許文献１参照）。このほかにも収納箱（紙幣カセット）の上面中央に、取っ手を固定して設置したものが提案されている（例えば特許文献２参照）。なお、括弧内は特許文献に記載された名称を示す。 As an example of this type of handle, there has been proposed a handle having a pivot support portion on both side surfaces of a storage box (cassette) and pivoting the handle so that the handle can stand up and down with the pivot support portion as a fulcrum ( For example, see Patent Document 1). In addition to this, there has been proposed one in which a handle is fixed and installed at the center of the upper surface of a storage box (banknote cassette) (see, for example, Patent Document 2). The names in parentheses indicate names described in the patent literature.

ところが、収納箱の上面に取っ手が固定されていると、該取っ手が収納箱と一体化して回動しないため、片手で１個の収納箱しか把持することができなかった。特に、紙幣入出金機には、通常３〜５個の収納箱が実装されており、これらの収納箱を紙幣入出金機からすべて持ち運ぶには、係員が何度も往復しなければならなかった。 However, when the handle is fixed to the upper surface of the storage box, the handle is integrated with the storage box and does not rotate, so that only one storage box can be held with one hand. In particular, a banknote depositing / dispensing machine is usually equipped with 3 to 5 storage boxes. In order to carry all of these storage boxes from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine, an attendant had to go back and forth many times. .

また、収納箱の持ち運び時に、係員が収納箱を脇に抱えたり、複数の収納箱を山積みにして無理に収納箱を運ぼうとした場合、収納箱を落下させてしまうおそれがあった。前記収納箱をぶつけたり、落下させるなどして、収納箱に強い衝撃が加わった場合、内部機構が変形したり破損したりするおそれがある。該収納箱の外観上から内部機構の変形や破損が分からなければ、収納箱をそのまま紙幣入出金機に実装してしまい、その後の紙幣入出金機の動作が不具合になって、入出金取引が中断してしまう問題があった。 In addition, when carrying a storage box, if an attendant holds the storage box aside or tries to carry a storage box forcibly by stacking a plurality of storage boxes, the storage box may be dropped. When a strong impact is applied to the storage box by hitting or dropping the storage box, the internal mechanism may be deformed or damaged. If the internal mechanism is not deformed or damaged from the exterior of the storage box, the storage box is mounted on the banknote depositing / dispensing machine as it is, and the subsequent operation of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine becomes faulty, so There was a problem that interrupted.

さらに、別の取っ手構造として箱上部の一側角部に、箱上面の背面側に、取っ手の回動支持部を備えた収納箱がある。該収納箱は持ち運びに際して、２個の収納箱を背面合わせすると、２個の収納箱の中央に両側の取っ手が揃うので、片手で２個の収納箱を一括して把持することができ、収納箱を効率よく持ち運びできるようにした収納箱が知られている（例えば特許文献３参照）。 Further, as another handle structure, there is a storage box having a handle rotation support portion on one side corner of the upper portion of the box and on the back side of the upper surface of the box. When carrying the storage box, when the two storage boxes are put back to back, the handles on both sides are aligned in the center of the two storage boxes, so that the two storage boxes can be held together with one hand. A storage box is known in which the box can be efficiently carried (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

しかし、取っ手の回動支持部が収納箱上部の背面側角部にあるため、係員が取っ手を掴んで１個の収納箱を運搬しようとする場合、持ち上げられた収納箱の上面が正面側に傾き、収納箱は菱形状に傾いて吊り下げられ、収納箱を単独に運搬する場合には不安定な運搬となる。そして、この傾きが生じると、収納箱の内部に積層されている紙幣の集積姿勢が崩れやすくなる。例えば、内部に積層されている水平状態の一部の紙幣が垂直状態になって紙幣繰出時に動作不良を発生させる原因になってしまう。 However, since the rotation support part of the handle is at the back side corner of the upper part of the storage box, when the clerk grasps the handle and transports one storage box, the upper surface of the lifted storage box is on the front side. The storage box is tilted and suspended in a rhombus shape, and when the storage box is transported alone, it becomes unstable. And when this inclination arises, the accumulation | stacking attitude | position of the banknote laminated | stacked inside the storage box will become easy to collapse. For example, some banknotes in a horizontal state stacked inside are in a vertical state, causing a malfunction when the banknotes are fed.

そこでこの発明は、係員が片手で２個の収納箱を持ち運ぶ際に、収納箱が傾かないようにすることができる紙葉類収納箱及び紙葉類取扱装置を提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet storage box and a paper sheet handling apparatus that can prevent the storage box from tilting when an attendant carries two storage boxes with one hand.

この発明は、箱体の内部空間に紙葉類を厚さ方向に積層して収納する収納部と、前記箱体の外面一側に備えられた紙葉類の収納繰出口と、前記箱体に内蔵されて前記収納繰出口より紙葉類を収納または繰出す収納繰出機構と、前記箱体の外面に起立傾倒自在に回動支持される取っ手とを備えた紙葉類収納箱であって、前記取っ手の回動方向を、前記箱体の前記外面一側と前記外面他側との対向方向に設定し、前記取っ手の回動支持部を、前記箱体の前記外面中央より前記外面一側の収納繰出口寄りに設け、前記取っ手の回動範囲を、取っ手の把持部が前記外面の他側に傾倒した傾倒位置から、前記把持部が、前記回動支持部を回動支点に起立した起立位置を越えて前記外面の一側に向かって回動し、該回動した把持部が少なくとも前記外面一側の周部上に至る傾斜位置までを含む構成とした紙葉類収納箱であることを特徴とする。 The present invention provides a storage unit for storing paper sheets stacked in the thickness direction in the internal space of the box, a paper sheet storage outlet provided on one side of the outer surface of the box, and the box A paper sheet storage box that includes a storage and feeding mechanism that stores or feeds paper sheets from the storage and feeding outlet, and a handle that is pivotally supported on the outer surface of the box so as to be able to stand and tilt. The turning direction of the handle is set in a direction opposite to the outer surface one side of the box and the other outer surface, and the turning support portion of the handle is set to the outer surface from the center of the outer surface of the box. Provided near the storage outlet on the side, the rotation range of the handle is raised from a tilted position where the grip portion of the handle tilts to the other side of the outer surface, and the grip portion rises with the rotation support portion as a rotation fulcrum. It is rotated toward one side of the outer surface beyond the standing position, and the rotated gripping portion is at least equal to the outer surface. Wherein the of the structure and the paper sheet storage box including to the inclined position extending over the periphery.

この発明によれば、取っ手の回動軸支部を外面の中央より一側に寄って取り付けているため、取っ手が箱体の外面一側に向けて回動したとき、該取っ手の把持部を外面一側まで、あるいはそれ以上に外方へと長く突出させることができる。このため、取っ手の長さを十分に長くとることができる。したがって、２個の箱体を並列させた場合、両側より対向させた取っ手の把持部が山形ブリッジ状の突き合わせ状態となり、この山形ブリッジ状となった突き合わせ部分を係員が片手で一括して容易に把持することができ、片手で箱体を安定して持ち運ぶことができる。よって、係員は両手で左右に箱体を２個ずつ最大４個まで一括して持ち運ぶことができる。 According to the present invention, since the rotation shaft support portion of the handle is attached to one side from the center of the outer surface, when the handle is rotated toward the outer surface side of the box, the grip portion of the handle is moved to the outer surface. It can protrude long outwards to one side or more. For this reason, the length of the handle can be made sufficiently long. Therefore, when two boxes are juxtaposed, the gripping portions of the handles facing from both sides are in a chevron bridge-like butted state, and the staff can easily gather the chevron-like butted part together with one hand. It can be gripped and the box can be stably carried with one hand. Therefore, the clerk can carry up to four boxes at the same time with two hands on both sides.

図３（ａ）は正面側から見た収納箱１の外観斜視図、図３（ｂ）は背面側から見た収納箱１の外観斜視図、図４は収納箱１に積層された紙幣５の積層状態を示す内部構成図である。
前記収納箱１は、平面視長方形状の縦長の中空箱体である。該収納箱１の外周囲のうち、箱体の外面他側として幅広面となる前面を箱正面１０とし、その両側の幅狭面を箱側面１１とし、箱体の外面一側として幅広面となる後面を箱背面１２とし、箱体の外面としての上面を箱上面１３としている。 3A is an external perspective view of the storage box 1 viewed from the front side, FIG. 3B is an external perspective view of the storage box 1 viewed from the back side, and FIG. 4 is a banknote 5 stacked on the storage box 1. It is an internal block diagram which shows the lamination | stacking state.
The storage box 1 is a vertically long hollow box having a rectangular shape in plan view. Of the outer periphery of the storage box 1, the front surface that is the wide surface as the other outer surface of the box body is the box front surface 10, the narrow surfaces on both sides thereof are the box side surfaces 11, and the wide surface is one side of the outer surface of the box body. The rear surface is a box back surface 12, and the upper surface as the outer surface of the box body is a box upper surface 13.

箱正面１０には、図３（ａ）に矢印２ａで示すように、片開き式に開閉する扉２を備えている。この扉２は収納箱内部への紙幣５の装填操作、または取出し操作時に開閉される。箱上面１３には、図３（ａ）及び図４にも示すように、収納繰出口３と、取っ手６と、コ型凹部７と、傾斜係止面１３ａを備えている。 The box front surface 10 is provided with a door 2 that opens and closes in a single-opening manner, as indicated by an arrow 2a in FIG. The door 2 is opened and closed when the bill 5 is loaded into or removed from the storage box. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 4, the box upper surface 13 is provided with a storage outlet 3, a handle 6, a U-shaped recess 7, and an inclined locking surface 13 a.

前記収納繰出口３は、箱上面１３の背面側に沿って細長く開口して設け、紙幣５を１枚ずつ収納または繰出す兼用口として設けられている。この収納繰出口３と対応する収納箱１の内部には、図４に示すように、収納繰出機構４が内蔵されている。 The storage outlet 3 is provided as an elongated opening along the back side of the box upper surface 13, and is provided as a dual-purpose opening for storing or feeding banknotes 5 one by one. As shown in FIG. 4, a storage / feeding mechanism 4 is built in the storage box 1 corresponding to the storage / feeding-out port 3.

該収納繰出機構４は、複数の搬送ローラ４ａや搬送ガイド部材４ｂにより構成され、収納繰出口３より紙幣５を収納または繰出すのに近い上方の収納繰出口３寄りに設けられている。ことに、該収納繰出機構４は、硬貨のような重量のある媒体とは異なり、薄くて軽い紙幣を破損しないように１枚ずつ確実に収納または繰出す搬送構造を要することから重量があり、この重い収納繰出機構４は収納箱１内で収納繰出口３側寄りに配置されて、収納箱１の重心が前記収納繰出口３側寄りに変位している。また、収納箱１の内部には多数枚の紙幣５を厚さ方向（上下方向）に積層する収納空間としての収納部８が設けられている。 The storage / feeding mechanism 4 includes a plurality of transport rollers 4a and a transport guide member 4b, and is provided near the upper storage delivery port 3 that is close to storing or delivering the banknote 5 from the storage delivery port 3. In particular, the storing and feeding mechanism 4 has a weight because it requires a transport structure that securely stores or feeds one by one so as not to break a thin and light bill, unlike a heavy medium such as a coin, The heavy storage payout mechanism 4 is disposed closer to the storage payout opening 3 in the storage box 1, and the center of gravity of the storage box 1 is displaced closer to the storage payout opening 3 side. A storage unit 8 is provided inside the storage box 1 as a storage space in which a large number of banknotes 5 are stacked in the thickness direction (vertical direction).

前記取っ手６は、係員が持ち運ぶのに適したコの字形状を有して、取っ手取付用の外面として設けられる箱上面１３に起立傾倒自在に取り付けられている。この取っ手６の回動方向は、箱上面１３における箱正面１０側と箱背面１２側とが対向する対向方向に設定され、この方向に取っ手６が起立傾倒される。 The handle 6 has a U-shape suitable for carrying by a staff member, and is attached to a box upper surface 13 provided as an outer surface for attaching the handle so as to be able to stand and tilt. The rotation direction of the handle 6 is set in a facing direction in which the box front surface 10 side and the box rear surface 12 side face each other on the box upper surface 13, and the handle 6 is tilted upright in this direction.

さらに、取っ手６の回動支持部６ａの位置を、箱上面１３の中央より収納繰出口３側寄りにずらせた位置に設定し、この位置で取っ手６のコ型両片に該当する両側の回動アームＨの端部を箱上面１３に回動自由に軸支している。この回動支持部６ａにおける回動支持構造は、取っ手６のコ型両片と箱上面１３とが対向する支持位置の例えば取っ手６側に軸体を設け、これと対応する箱上面１３側に軸孔を設けて軸支することにより、箱上面１３上まで取っ手６を正転方向または逆転方向に回動自由に軸支する。 Furthermore, the position of the rotation support portion 6a of the handle 6 is set to a position shifted from the center of the box upper surface 13 toward the storage feeding outlet 3 side, and the rotation of both sides corresponding to the two U-shaped pieces of the handle 6 at this position is set. The end of the moving arm H is pivotally supported on the box upper surface 13 so as to freely rotate. The rotation support structure in the rotation support portion 6a is provided with a shaft on the handle 6 side, for example, on the support position where the U-shaped pieces of the handle 6 and the box upper surface 13 face each other, and on the box upper surface 13 side corresponding thereto. By providing a shaft hole and supporting the shaft, the handle 6 is supported in a freely rotating manner in the forward rotation direction or the reverse rotation direction up to the top surface 13 of the box.

また、回動支持部６ａは、箱上面１３の中央より収納繰出口３側寄りにずらせた位置に設定して、前記した収納繰出機構４が重いことに基づいて変位した収納箱１の重心Ｇ（図５参照）と対応する位置で該収納箱１を支持するように設けている。 Further, the rotation support portion 6a is set at a position shifted from the center of the box upper surface 13 closer to the storage delivery port 3 side, and the center of gravity G of the storage box 1 displaced based on the heavy storage delivery mechanism 4 described above. The storage box 1 is provided at a position corresponding to (see FIG. 5).

さらに、取っ手６は回動範囲を、回動始端部となる傾倒位置（０度）Ａから回動中間部となる起立位置（９０度）Ｂを経由して回動終端部となる傾斜位置（例えば１３５度）Ｃに至るまでの間としている。 Furthermore, the handle 6 moves the rotation range from the tilt position (0 degree) A serving as the rotation start end to the tilt position (90 degrees) B serving as the rotation end part via the standing position (90 degrees) B serving as the rotation intermediate part. For example, 135 degrees) until C is reached.

前記取っ手６の両側の回動アームＨは、図５（ａ）に示すように、収納箱１の平面視短辺方向に回動可能に軸支されている。さらに、該回動アームＨの長さＨ１は回動支持部６ａから箱正面１０までの一方の短辺長さと同じ長さを有している。そして、回動支持部６ａから箱背面１２までの他方の短辺長さＨ２よりも該回動アームＨの長さＨ１が長くなるように配置した位置関係にある。 As shown in FIG. 5A, the turning arms H on both sides of the handle 6 are pivotally supported so as to be rotatable in the short side direction of the storage box 1. Further, the length H1 of the turning arm H has the same length as one short side length from the turning support portion 6a to the box front face 10. And it exists in the positional relationship arrange | positioned so that the length H1 of this rotation arm H may become longer than the other short side length H2 from the rotation support part 6a to the box back surface 12. FIG.

よって、回動アームＨの長さＨ１が一方の短辺長さと同じ長さであるため、回動アームＨが箱正面１０側に回動しても箱上面１３の実装面上に留まり、取っ手６の最も外側に位置する把持部６ｂが箱正面１０側の外方に突出することはない（図５a〜図５ｄの各傾倒位置Ａ参照）。また、回動アームＨが箱背面１２側に回動すると、回動アームＨの長さＨ１が他方の短辺長さＨ２より長いため、取っ手６の最も外側に位置する把持部６ｂが箱背面１２側の上方位置で持ち手用空間Ｆ（図６参照）を確保でき、さらに箱背面１２より外方に突出することが可能になる。 Therefore, since the length H1 of the turning arm H is the same as the length of one short side, even if the turning arm H is turned to the box front 10 side, it remains on the mounting surface of the box upper surface 13 and the handle. 6 does not protrude outward on the box front face 10 side (see each tilt position A in FIGS. 5a to 5d). Further, when the turning arm H is turned to the box rear face 12 side, the length H1 of the turning arm H is longer than the other short side length H2, so that the gripping portion 6b located on the outermost side of the handle 6 is the rear face of the box. A holding space F (see FIG. 6) can be secured at the upper position on the 12 side, and further, it can protrude outward from the box back surface 12.

前記把持部６ｂは、コ型両片の前記回動アームＨ間をつなぐ直棒部分に該当し、この部分が係員により把持される。また、把持部６ｂはどの回動位置にあっても箱上面１３と常に平行となる位置関係にある。 The gripping portion 6b corresponds to a straight rod portion connecting between the rotating arms H of both U-shaped pieces, and this portion is gripped by an attendant. Further, the gripping portion 6b is in a positional relationship that is always parallel to the box upper surface 13 at any rotational position.

前記傾倒位置Ａとは、該取っ手６の把持部６ｂが回動支持部６ａを回動支点に回動し、箱上面１３における箱正面１０側に傾倒して水平状態に至った位置である。
起立位置Ｂとは、把持部６ｂが回動支持部６ａを回動支点に垂直に起立した位置である。
傾斜位置Ｃとは、前記起立位置Ｂを越えて箱背面１２側に向かって回動し、該回動した把持部６ｂが、箱上面１３の箱背面１２側の周部上を越えて外方へ傾斜突出した位置である。 The tilt position A is a position where the grip 6b of the handle 6 rotates about the rotation support 6a as a rotation fulcrum and tilts toward the box front 10 side on the box upper surface 13 to reach a horizontal state.
The standing position B is a position where the gripping part 6b stands vertically with respect to the rotation support part 6a.
The inclined position C is rotated toward the box rear surface 12 side beyond the standing position B, and the rotated gripping portion 6b extends outwardly beyond the periphery of the box upper surface 13 on the box rear surface 12 side. It is the position which protruded into the slope.

前記傾倒位置Ａにおいて、傾倒姿勢の取っ手６と対応する箱上面１３にはコ型凹部７（図３参照）を形成している。このコ型凹部７は箱上面１３の周部に沿う箱正面１０とその両側の箱側面１１とをコ型形状の凹部に切欠いて設けている。このコ型凹部７の凹部空間に対して同コ型形状の取っ手６が傾倒時にコ型凹部７に格納されるように水平に傾倒する。 At the tilt position A, a U-shaped recess 7 (see FIG. 3) is formed on the box upper surface 13 corresponding to the handle 6 in the tilted posture. The U-shaped recess 7 is provided by cutting a box front surface 10 along the periphery of the box upper surface 13 and box side surfaces 11 on both sides thereof into a U-shaped recess. The handle 6 having the same U-shape is tilted horizontally with respect to the recess space of the U-shaped recess 7 so as to be stored in the U-shaped recess 7 when tilted.

この場合、取っ手６の周部は、図５（ａ）に示すように、コ型両片間の把持部６ｂ長さＷとコ型両片の回動アームＨ長さＨ１とが、箱上面１３の周部に沿う大きさであり、箱上面１３の周部より外側にはみ出さないように形成されている。また、取っ手６のコ型部分だけでなく取っ手６や回動支持部６ａも箱上面１３の実装面内の領域に、はみ出さないように形成している。したがって、収納箱１を運搬する時や収納箱１を紙幣入出金機２１に着脱する際に、取っ手６が障害物と接触することを回避することができる。 In this case, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the peripheral portion of the handle 6 has a gripping portion 6b length W between the two U-shaped pieces and a rotating arm H length H1 between the two U-shaped pieces. The size is along the circumference of 13 and is formed so as not to protrude outward from the circumference of the box upper surface 13. Further, not only the U-shaped portion of the handle 6 but also the handle 6 and the rotation support portion 6 a are formed so as not to protrude into the region within the mounting surface of the box upper surface 13. Therefore, when carrying the storage box 1 or attaching / detaching the storage box 1 to / from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 21, it is possible to avoid the handle 6 from coming into contact with an obstacle.

前記取っ手６は、図５（ｂ）〜（ｄ）にも示すように、各種のコ型形状の形成例が考えられる。図５（ｂ）は取っ手６のコ型幅を狭めた例を示し、図５（ｃ）は取っ手６のコ型両片の長さを短くした例を示し、図５（ｄ）は取っ手６のコ型幅とコ型両片とをそれぞれ短くした例を示している。 As shown in FIGS. 5B to 5D, the handle 6 may be formed in various U-shaped forms. FIG. 5B shows an example in which the U-shaped width of the handle 6 is narrowed, FIG. 5C shows an example in which the lengths of both U-shaped pieces of the handle 6 are shortened, and FIG. This shows an example in which the U-shaped width and both U-shaped pieces are shortened.

また、図５（ｄ）のように取っ手６の回動アームＨの長さＨ１を短くした場合であっても、該回動アームＨの長さＨ１は、他方の短辺長さＨ２よりも長い位置関係にある。このため、回動アームＨが箱正面１０側に回動しても箱上面１３の実装面上に留まるが、回動アームＨが箱背面１２側に回動したときは、回動アームＨの長さＨ１が他方の短辺長さＨ２より長いため、取っ手６の最も外側に位置する把持部６ｂが箱背面１２側よりも外方に突出する。 Further, even when the length H1 of the turning arm H of the handle 6 is shortened as shown in FIG. 5D, the length H1 of the turning arm H is longer than the other short side length H2. Long position relationship. For this reason, even if the turning arm H turns to the box front surface 10 side, it remains on the mounting surface of the box upper surface 13, but when the turning arm H turns to the box back surface 12 side, Since the length H1 is longer than the other short side length H2, the gripping portion 6b located on the outermost side of the handle 6 protrudes outward from the box back surface 12 side.

なお、取っ手６の不使用時には、取っ手６を傾倒位置Ａに倒しておくのが好ましいため、取っ手６が自動的に傾倒位置Ａに傾倒されて納まるよう、取っ手６にバネなどの弾性体を取り付けてもよい。 When the handle 6 is not used, it is preferable to tilt the handle 6 to the tilted position A. Therefore, an elastic body such as a spring is attached to the handle 6 so that the handle 6 is automatically tilted and stored in the tilted position A. May be.

さらに、コ型凹部７の深さは、該コ型凹部７に取っ手６が傾倒した傾倒位置Ａで箱上面１３の上面高さと、取っ手６の傾倒した上面高さとが略同高さになる凹部深さに形成されている。これにより、取っ手６は箱上面１３より突出しなくなり、収納箱１の実装面内に取っ手６を格納させて傾倒させることができる。なお、収納箱１が引出ユニット１４に収納されている場合は、取っ手６が傾倒位置Ａにあって、機内の搬送部材等とは干渉しない。 Further, the depth of the U-shaped recess 7 is such that the upper surface height of the box upper surface 13 and the inclined upper surface height of the handle 6 are approximately the same height at the tilt position A where the handle 6 tilts in the U-shaped recess 7. It is formed to a depth. Thereby, the handle 6 does not protrude from the top surface 13 of the box, and the handle 6 can be stored in the mounting surface of the storage box 1 and tilted. When the storage box 1 is stored in the drawer unit 14, the handle 6 is in the tilted position A and does not interfere with the conveying member in the machine.

前記起立位置Ｂは、箱上面１３に取っ手６を垂直に起立させた位置であり、この起立位置Ｂで係員が取っ手６を手提げ状態に掴んで持ち運ぶものである。この起立位置Ｂにおいて、取っ手６は収納箱１の重心位置上に立ち上がる。よって、係員が取っ手６を掴んで収納箱１を持ち上げた際に、収納箱１が持ち運ばれる姿勢は真っ直ぐでバランスがとれているため、垂直な姿勢を維持して傾かなくなり、収納箱１の安全な運搬を確保できる。 The standing position B is a position where the handle 6 is vertically raised on the upper surface 13 of the box. At this standing position B, the clerk grasps the handle 6 and carries it. At this standing position B, the handle 6 stands on the center of gravity of the storage box 1. Therefore, when the clerk grasps the handle 6 and lifts the storage box 1, the posture in which the storage box 1 is carried is straight and balanced, so that it does not tilt while maintaining a vertical posture. Safe transportation can be ensured.

前記傾斜位置Ｃは、取っ手６の回動終端部となる傾斜角度を位置決めする位置であり、２個の収納箱１を片手で一括して持ち運ぶ場合、そのときの片方の取っ手６（図６では左側の取っ手に該当する）に対応して係止させる位置である。この傾斜位置Ｃは位置決め手段としての傾斜係止面１３ａにより形成される。 The inclined position C is a position for positioning an inclination angle that becomes a rotation end portion of the handle 6. When the two storage boxes 1 are carried together with one hand, one handle 6 at that time (in FIG. 6) (Corresponding to the left handle). This inclined position C is formed by an inclined locking surface 13a as positioning means.

前記傾斜係止面１３ａは、箱上面１３の背面側寄りで、取っ手６のコ型両片に係止対応する回動支持部６ａ近傍の位置に傾斜突出して形成している。この傾斜係止面１３ａの傾斜角度は、図６にも示すように、２個の収納箱１を並列配置した時に、両側の取っ手６の把持部６ｂが山形ブリッジ状に互いに突き合わすことができる傾斜角度に設定している。 The inclined locking surface 13a is formed so as to be inclined and projecting at a position in the vicinity of the rotation support portion 6a corresponding to locking with the two U-shaped pieces of the handle 6 on the back side of the box upper surface 13. As shown in FIG. 6, when the two storage boxes 1 are arranged in parallel, the gripping portions 6b of the handles 6 on both sides can abut each other in a chevron bridge shape. The tilt angle is set.

具体的には、図６において並列配置された収納箱１のうち、左側の収納箱１の取っ手６が箱背面１２側に向けて大きく左回動方向に回動し、この回動した取っ手６のコ型両片が傾斜係止面１３ａに当接して回動規制されることで傾斜位置Ｃに位置決め係止される。この傾斜位置Ｃに位置決めされた取っ手６の把持部６ｂに対し、図６において、右側の収納箱１の取っ手６の把持部６ｂを傾倒位置Ａから右回動方向に回動させて、若干立ち上がった傾斜位置の時点で互いに把持部６ｂ同士が山形ブリッジ状に突き合わさった傾斜姿勢で対向するとともに、山形ブリッジ状の下方には一括把持に適した持ち手用空間Ｆが形成される。 Specifically, among the storage boxes 1 arranged in parallel in FIG. 6, the handle 6 of the left storage box 1 is greatly rotated in the left rotation direction toward the box rear surface 12, and the rotated handle 6 is rotated. Both of the U-shaped pieces come into contact with the inclined locking surface 13a and are restricted from rotating to be positioned and locked at the inclined position C. With respect to the gripping portion 6b of the handle 6 positioned at the inclined position C, the gripping portion 6b of the handle 6 of the right storage box 1 in FIG. At the time of the inclined position, the gripping portions 6b are opposed to each other in an inclined posture in which they face each other in a mountain bridge shape, and a handle space F suitable for collective gripping is formed below the mountain bridge shape.

このとき、両側の把持部６ｂの回動軌跡Ｄが当接する位置で、互いに回動する該両側の把持部６ｂが、ある一点で突き合わさった状態に当接する。このため、両側の取っ手６の一括把持位置が特定される。この一括把持位置では、両側の回動支持部６ａが突き合わさった一か所の部分で並列状態に揃い、２個の収納箱１を片手で一括して持ち運ぶことが可能になる。 At this time, the gripping parts 6b on both sides that rotate with each other come into contact with each other at a certain point at a position where the rotation trajectories D of the gripping parts 6b on both sides come into contact. For this reason, the collective gripping positions of the handles 6 on both sides are specified. At this collective gripping position, the two support boxes 1 can be carried together with one hand by aligning in a parallel state at one portion where the rotation support portions 6a on both sides abut each other.

さらに、一括把持位置で突き合わさる両把持部６ｂの当接面が垂直面で突き合わさるように、把持部６ｂの外表面を逆Ｖ字形状に突出して形成し、その逆Ｖ字形状の片側の傾斜面同士が当接時に垂直に平面対接する平面対接面６ｃとなる。この平面対接面６ｃを形成することにより、両取っ手６の把持部６ｂが対向したときは、互いの平面対接面６ｃが平面対接して両取っ手６による山形ブリッジ及び持ち手用空間Ｆを容易に形成し、またその状態を安定して維持することができる。 Furthermore, the outer surface of the gripping portion 6b is formed to protrude in an inverted V shape so that the contact surfaces of both gripping portions 6b that are butted at the batch gripping position are butted on the vertical surface. When the inclined surfaces come into contact with each other, a plane contact surface 6c is formed that makes a plane contact with each other vertically. By forming the flat contact surface 6c, when the gripping portions 6b of the handles 6 are opposed to each other, the flat contact surfaces 6c of the handles 6 are in contact with each other so that the chevron bridge and the handle space F are formed by the handles 6. It can be formed easily and the state can be maintained stably.

さらに、一括把持位置は、取っ手６が収納箱１の重心位置上に取り付けられているため、両側の収納箱１の中間位置で一括把持する場合であっても、該一括把持位置では２個の収納箱の重心位置上になり、安定した持ち運びが可能になる。 Furthermore, since the handle 6 is mounted on the center of gravity position of the storage box 1, even when the batch gripping is performed at the intermediate position between the storage boxes 1 on both sides, It is on the center of gravity of the storage box, enabling stable carrying.

図７（ａ）にも示すように、縦型の収納構造を有する引出ユニット１４に収納される各収納箱１は、同じ向きになるよう並列して収納されている。このため、引出ユニット１４から外方に取り出される収納箱１、あるいは引出ユニット１４へと収納される収納箱１は、着脱姿勢を変えることなく、そのままの姿勢で収納箱１を着脱操作することができる。また、着脱姿勢を変えることなく、そのままの並列姿勢で２個の収納箱１を一括して着脱することができ、また２個の収納箱１を一括して運搬することができる。 As shown in FIG. 7A, the storage boxes 1 stored in the drawer unit 14 having a vertical storage structure are stored side by side in the same direction. For this reason, the storage box 1 taken out from the drawer unit 14 or the storage box 1 stored in the drawer unit 14 can be attached and detached without changing the attachment / detachment posture. it can. In addition, the two storage boxes 1 can be attached and detached collectively in the same parallel orientation without changing the attachment / detachment posture, and the two storage boxes 1 can be transported collectively.

図７（ｂ）では収納箱１の着脱操作をより一層高めた構成例を示している。まず、引出ユニット１４の収納箱１間を仕切る仕切板１４ａの高さを低くして設置する。該仕切板１４ａの高さを低くしたことにより、該仕切板１４ａの上方では遮るものがなくなり、両収納箱１の上部で対向する垂直な箱正面１０と箱背面１２とを平面対接させて安定した並列状態を保つことができる。 FIG. 7B shows a configuration example in which the operation for attaching and detaching the storage box 1 is further enhanced. First, the height of the partition plate 14a for partitioning the storage boxes 1 of the drawer unit 14 is set low. By lowering the height of the partition plate 14a, there is no obstruction above the partition plate 14a, and the vertical box front surface 10 and the box rear surface 12 facing each other at the upper part of the storage boxes 1 are brought into plane contact. A stable parallel state can be maintained.

具体的には、収納箱１の中間高さ程度の仕切板１４ａを、引出ユニット１４の各収納箱１を区画する箱仕切位置１４ｂに設置し、該仕切板１４ａで並列する収納箱１の下部間を仕切るように設けている。一方、箱仕切位置１４ｂに仕切板１４ａが介在しない並列する収納箱１の上部間では、互いに対向する仕切方向の上部対向面１ａ同士が平面対接するように突出させて構成している。 Specifically, a partition plate 14a having an intermediate height of the storage box 1 is installed at a box partitioning position 14b that partitions each storage box 1 of the drawer unit 14, and the lower portion of the storage box 1 that is parallel to the partition plate 14a. It is provided so as to partition the space. On the other hand, between the upper parts of the parallel storage boxes 1 where the partition plate 14a is not interposed at the box partitioning position 14b, the upper facing surfaces 1a in the partitioning direction facing each other are protruded so as to be in plane contact with each other.

この平面対接構造とすることにより、並列する収納箱１間での上部対向隙間が無くなり、２個の収納箱１が並列配置された状態では予め対面した収納状態となる。このため、２個の収納箱１を一体化した状態にして、そのままの姿勢で一括して着脱できる。また、対面させることで、２個一括での着脱がより安定する。 By adopting this planar contact structure, there is no upper facing gap between the storage boxes 1 arranged in parallel, and when the two storage boxes 1 are arranged in parallel, the storage state is confronted in advance. For this reason, the two storage boxes 1 can be integrated and detached in the same posture in an integrated state. Moreover, by making it face, attachment and detachment of two at once are more stable.

次に、このように構成された収納箱１を係員が着脱及び持ち運びする動作について説明する。
金融機関等において、紙幣入出金機２１を運用して一日の業務が終了すると、該紙幣入出金機２１の機内に存在している紙幣５をすべて収納箱１に回収する。回収後は、各収納箱１を係員が紙幣入出金機２１から取り出す。 Next, the operation | movement in which an attendant attaches / detaches and carries the storage box 1 comprised in this way is demonstrated.
In a financial institution or the like, when the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 21 is operated and one day of work is completed, all banknotes 5 existing in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 21 are collected in the storage box 1. After the collection, the attendant takes out each storage box 1 from the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 21.

この収納箱１を取り出す場合、図２に示すように、紙幣入出金機２１の図示しない本体扉を開けて、例えば開放された開口部から引出ユニット１４を引き出す。この引き出された引出ユニット１４に収納されている収納箱１は、各取っ手６が傾倒位置Ａに傾倒した収納セット状態にある。 When taking out this storage box 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the main body door which is not shown of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 21 is opened, and for example, the drawer unit 14 is pulled out from the opened opening. The storage box 1 stored in the pulled-out drawer unit 14 is in a storage set state in which each handle 6 is tilted to the tilt position A.

これらの収納箱１を収納している引出ユニット１４から片手で２個の収納箱１を一括して取り出す場合は、図６に示すように、まず、左側の収納箱１の取っ手６を右回動させて、傾倒位置Ａから起立させ、さらに起立位置Ｂを越えた傾斜位置Ｃに至ると、取っ手６は傾斜係止面１３ａに当接して位置決めされる。このとき、把持部６ｂは一括把持位置の傾斜角度で回動係止される。 When two storage boxes 1 are collectively removed from the drawer unit 14 storing these storage boxes 1 with one hand, first, as shown in FIG. 6, the handle 6 of the left storage box 1 is turned clockwise. When it is moved to stand up from the tilt position A and reaches the tilt position C beyond the stand-up position B, the handle 6 is positioned in contact with the tilt locking surface 13a. At this time, the gripping part 6b is pivotally locked at the inclination angle of the batch gripping position.

続いて、右側の収納箱１の取っ手６を右回動させて、傾倒位置Ａから把持部６ｂを左側の取っ手６の把持部６ｂと対向する一括把持位置まで回動させて、両側より互いの把持部６ｂを山形ブリッジ状に突き合わせた状態に対向させる。このとき、互いの把持部６ｂの平面対接面６ｃが垂直に平面対接するので、両側の取っ手６は安定した山形ブリッジ状を維持する。また、その山形ブリッジ状の下方に手を入れ易い持ち手用空間Ｆが形成される。 Subsequently, the handle 6 of the right storage box 1 is rotated to the right, and the gripping portion 6b is rotated from the tilted position A to the collective gripping position facing the gripping portion 6b of the left handle 6, so The gripping part 6b is opposed to a state where it is abutted in a mountain bridge shape. At this time, since the plane contact surfaces 6c of the gripping portions 6b are in plane contact with each other vertically, the handles 6 on both sides maintain a stable mountain bridge shape. In addition, a handle space F is formed below the mountain-shaped bridge so that the user can easily put his / her hand.

これにより、係員は山形ブリッジ状に傾斜対向している両側の取っ手６の一括把持位置（両把持部６ｂ）を片手で掴んで一括して把持することができる。したがって、係員が２個の収納箱１を片手で掴んで引き上げることで、引出ユニット１４から収納箱１を２個ずつ取り出すことができる。 As a result, the clerk can grasp the collective gripping positions (both gripping portions 6b) of the handles 6 on both sides facing each other in an angled bridge shape with one hand and grip them collectively. Therefore, when the clerk holds the two storage boxes 1 with one hand and pulls them up, the storage boxes 1 can be taken out from the drawer unit 14 two by two.

ここで、２個の収納箱１を片手で安定して取り出す条件を考察してみると、係員が取っ手６を持って収納箱１を持ち上げる場合、その取っ手６の回動支持部６ａの位置が収納箱１の重心Ｇに対応した位置に取り付けられていれば、収納箱１は傾かず、バランスのとれた垂直な姿勢を保って取り出すことが可能になる。 Here, considering the conditions for stably taking out the two storage boxes 1 with one hand, when the clerk lifts the storage box 1 with the handle 6, the position of the rotation support portion 6a of the handle 6 is as follows. If the storage box 1 is attached at a position corresponding to the center of gravity G of the storage box 1, the storage box 1 does not tilt and can be taken out while maintaining a balanced vertical posture.

したがって、図６に示すように、２個の収納箱１を片手で一括して取り出す場合にあっても、両側の収納箱１は単独でそれぞれ回動支持部６ａの位置と重心Ｇの位置とが対応しているため両側の重心位置上からの把持部６ｂの両回動軌跡Ｄが当接する一点が一括把持位置となり、両側の把持部６ｂを突き合わせた山形ブリッジ状の一括把持位置を掴めば２個の収納箱１の重心がとれた位置からの取り出しとなる。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, even when two storage boxes 1 are taken out with one hand at a time, the storage boxes 1 on both sides are respectively independent of the position of the rotation support portion 6a and the position of the center of gravity G. Therefore, one point where the turning trajectories D of the gripping part 6b from the positions of the center of gravity of both sides come into contact is the collective gripping position, and if the gripping position of the mountain bridge shape where the gripping parts 6b on both sides are abutted is grasped The two storage boxes 1 are taken out from the position where the center of gravity is removed.

このように、収納箱１の重心Ｇに対応した位置の回動支持部６ａは、箱上面１３の中央ではなく、収納繰出口３側に寄って変位しているため、この回動支持部６ａを支点とする把持部６ｂの回動軌跡Ｄは箱背面１２の外方に向けてさらに回動させることができる。つまり、並列する２個の収納箱１の重心位置が変位していても、その変位した２個の収納箱１の位置まで把持部６ｂを回動させることができるという取っ手６の長さ（回動アームＨの長さＨ１）を確保することが重要であり、この取っ手６の長さを十分に長くできることを可能にしたことにより、上述の条件を満たしたものである。 Thus, the rotation support portion 6a at the position corresponding to the center of gravity G of the storage box 1 is displaced not toward the center of the box upper surface 13 but toward the storage delivery port 3 side, so this rotation support portion 6a. The rotation trajectory D of the gripping part 6b with the fulcrum as the fulcrum can be further rotated toward the outside of the box rear surface 12. That is, even if the position of the center of gravity of the two storage boxes 1 arranged in parallel is displaced, the length of the handle 6 that allows the gripping portion 6b to be rotated to the position of the two displaced storage boxes 1 (turns). It is important to ensure the length H1) of the moving arm H, and the length of the handle 6 can be made sufficiently long so that the above condition is satisfied.

そして、収納箱１の持ち運び時には、取っ手６の長さが十分に足りているため、片手で両収納箱１を吊り下げても傾かない。つまり、取っ手長さ不足のために両収納箱１の上部が内向きに引っ張られて、両収納箱１の下部間が開くようなことが解消される。このため、両収納箱１を運んでも不安定に揺れることがなく、バランスがとれた垂直状態を保つことができる。さらに、片手で２個ずつ持てば、係員１人で最大４個の収納箱１を一度に持ち運ぶことができる。 And when carrying the storage box 1, since the length of the handle 6 is sufficiently long, even if both the storage boxes 1 are suspended with one hand, it does not tilt. That is, it is solved that the upper portions of the two storage boxes 1 are pulled inward due to a short handle length and the lower portions of the two storage boxes 1 are opened. For this reason, even if both storage boxes 1 are carried, they are not unstablely shaken, and a balanced vertical state can be maintained. Furthermore, if you hold two with one hand, you can carry a maximum of four storage boxes 1 at a time with one clerk.

さらに、係員は不安定な持ち運び姿勢を発生させる原因がないので、収納箱１が係員の足などに接触せず、また収納箱１を落下させたり、ぶつけたりするようなおそれもなくなる。さらに、取っ手６やその把持部６ｂは収納箱１の実装面内に納まるため、運搬時に取っ手６を障害物等にぶつけるおそれがなくなる。よって、内部機構が変形したり破損したりするおそれもなくなる。また、紙幣の積層状態が崩れ難くなるので、収納箱１を用いたその後の紙幣の入出金取引動作が安定する。さらに、収納箱１を保管する場合においても、収納箱１の上面に取っ手６が突出しないため箱上面１３に平面が得られ、山積みが可能になる。 Further, since the clerk has no cause for causing an unstable carrying posture, the storage box 1 does not come into contact with the legs of the clerk, and there is no possibility of the storage box 1 being dropped or bumped. Furthermore, since the handle 6 and its gripping portion 6b are accommodated in the mounting surface of the storage box 1, there is no possibility of hitting the handle 6 against an obstacle or the like during transportation. Therefore, there is no possibility that the internal mechanism is deformed or damaged. Moreover, since the lamination | stacking state of a banknote becomes difficult to collapse, the deposit / withdrawal transaction operation | movement of the subsequent banknote using the storage box 1 is stabilized. Furthermore, even when storing the storage box 1, the handle 6 does not protrude from the upper surface of the storage box 1, so that a flat surface is obtained on the upper surface 13 of the storage box 1, and stacking becomes possible.

さらに、両収納箱１を引出ユニット１４に収納する場合においても、同様に山形ブリッジ状の一括把持位置の把持部６ｂを片手で掴んで引出ユニット１４の開放された上方からそのまま垂直に下ろせば、両収納箱１は垂直な姿勢を維持し、傾かないので容易に両収納箱１を引出ユニット１４内に収納させることができる。 Further, when both storage boxes 1 are stored in the drawer unit 14, similarly, if the gripping portion 6b at the mountain-shaped bridge-shaped collective gripping position is gripped with one hand and lowered vertically from the opened upper side of the drawer unit 14, Both storage boxes 1 maintain a vertical posture and do not tilt, so that both storage boxes 1 can be easily stored in the drawer unit 14.

また、収納箱１を単独で着脱する場合や持ち運ぶ場合にあっても、収納箱１の重心に対応した把持部６ｂでの重心がとれているため、そのまま垂直に引き上げれば、傾かずに取り出すことができる。そして、持ち運ぶ場合も傾かず、安全で信頼性の高い安定した持ち運びができる。さらに、引出ユニット１４に収納する場合も、取っ手６を起立位置Ｂで掴んで引出ユニット１４内に真っ直ぐ下ろせば、そのままの姿勢で収納させることができる。よって、収納位置合わせに手間がかからず、また収納方向を変えるような操作も要せず、簡単に収納できる。 Even when the storage box 1 is detached or carried alone, the center of gravity of the gripping portion 6b corresponding to the center of gravity of the storage box 1 is taken. be able to. And even if you carry it, you can carry it safely and reliably with high reliability. Furthermore, also when storing in the drawer unit 14, if the handle 6 is grabbed in the standing position B and straightly lowered into the drawer unit 14, it can be stored in the same posture. Therefore, it does not take time to store the storage position, and it does not require an operation for changing the storage direction, and can be stored easily.

次に、両収納箱１の運搬時における収納繰出口３の保護を図った取っ手６の構成例を、図８を参照して説明する。
両側の収納箱１を背面合わせし、そのとき取っ手６の把持部６ｂを箱背面１２の鉛直上まで傾斜した対称傾斜位置Ｅに係止されるように回動規制手段としての傾斜係止面１３ａを形成すれば、取っ手６は箱背面１２の鉛直上よりも箱背面１２の周部を越えて回動することはない。このため、箱背面１２同士を対面させると、両収納箱１の対接面上において両取っ手６の把持部６ｂを突き合わせた山形ブリッジ状の一括把持部を形成することができる。 Next, a configuration example of the handle 6 that protects the storage outlet 3 during transportation of the storage boxes 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
The storage boxes 1 on both sides are back-to-back, and at that time, the inclined locking surface 13a as a rotation restricting means is locked so that the gripping portion 6b of the handle 6 is locked at a symmetrically inclined position E that is inclined vertically above the back surface 12 of the box. Is formed, the handle 6 does not rotate beyond the periphery of the box back surface 12 rather than vertically above the box back surface 12. For this reason, when the box back surfaces 12 face each other, a chevron-bridge-shaped collective gripping portion in which the gripping portions 6b of the handles 6 are abutted on the contact surfaces of the storage boxes 1 can be formed.

前記両収納箱１の配設する向きを箱正面１０同士、または箱正面１０と箱背面１２を対面させても、両側の取っ手６の把持部６ｂは対向部間が非対称で離れているため、山形ブリッジ状を構成することができず、両把持部６ｂを片手で一括して持つことができない。 Even if the directions in which the storage boxes 1 are arranged face each other between the box front faces 10 or the box front face 10 and the box rear face 12, the gripping portions 6b of the handles 6 on both sides are separated asymmetrically from each other, A chevron bridge shape cannot be formed, and the gripping portions 6b cannot be held together with one hand.

このため、片手で２個の収納箱１を一括して持つ場合は、必ず箱背面１２が対面した並列配置状態となる。つまり、把持部６ｂの回動軌跡Ｄが同高さの一点で当接するので係員は両側の把持部６ｂを一括して把持することができる。このように背面同士を対向させた配置構成では、箱背面１２側に位置する収納繰出口３同士が内向きに対向し、並列配置した収納箱１の内側になって保護された状態となり、収納繰出口３に備えられている櫛歯状の爪等が運搬中に外部の部材とぶつからず、外部の衝撃から保護した持ち運びができる。 For this reason, when the two storage boxes 1 are collectively held with one hand, the box rear face 12 is always in a parallel arrangement state facing each other. That is, since the rotation locus D of the gripping portion 6b contacts at one point of the same height, the clerk can grip the gripping portions 6b on both sides at once. In the arrangement configuration in which the back surfaces are opposed to each other in this manner, the storage outlets 3 located on the box back surface 12 side face each other inward, and are in a protected state inside the storage boxes 1 arranged in parallel. A comb-like claw or the like provided in the feeding port 3 does not collide with an external member during transportation, and can be carried while being protected from an external impact.

さらに、２個の収納箱１を背面合わせした状態では、両側の取っ手６がそれぞれ適切な同じ角度で止まるため、把持し易い左右対称の山形ブリッジ状を形成する。さらに、両側より対向する把持部６ｂの互いの接触部分を平面的に密着するように対向させれば、両側の取っ手６が位置ずれしなくなり、両側の収納箱１を安定して対接させることができる。 Furthermore, in the state where the two storage boxes 1 are back-to-back, the handles 6 on both sides stop at the same appropriate angle, so a symmetrical mountain bridge shape that is easy to grip is formed. Furthermore, if the contact portions of the gripping portions 6b facing each other from both sides are opposed to each other so as to come into close contact with each other, the handles 6 on both sides will not be displaced, and the storage boxes 1 on both sides can be brought into stable contact with each other. Can do.

ことに、係員が両側の取っ手６を回動させて山形ブリッジを構築しようとする場合、例えば左側の把持部６ｂが左側の傾斜係止面１３ａにより回動規制されて回動軌跡Ｄ上の一点で止まる。これに対向する右側の把持部６ｂも同様に右側の傾斜係止面１３ａにより回動規制されて回動軌跡Ｄ上の一点で止まる。これにより、両側の把持部６ｂは自ずと同じ傾斜角度で同じ高さ位置に対向して適切な一括把持位置にセットすることができる。 In particular, when the clerk tries to construct the mountain bridge by rotating the handles 6 on both sides, for example, the left gripping part 6b is restricted by the left inclined locking surface 13a, and one point on the rotation trajectory D is obtained. Stop at. Similarly, the right grip 6b facing this is also restricted by the right inclined locking surface 13a and stops at one point on the rotation trajectory D. As a result, the gripping portions 6b on both sides can be set at appropriate collective gripping positions facing the same height position at the same inclination angle.

前記取っ手６の把持部６ｂの形状は、直棒形状のほかに、波形状に設けて把持し易くしてもよい。また、断面円柱形も考えられるが、断面円柱形では両側の把持部６ｂの接触部分が円弧面で接触して点接触になる。よって、より安定した状態で運搬するには、把持部６ｂ同士の互いが面接触で突き合わされるよう形成されているほうがよい。また、取っ手６の把持部６ｂ間に隙間がある構造としてもよいが、より安定した状態で運搬するには、把持部６ｂ同士を突き合わせて接触している構造が好ましい。 The shape of the grip portion 6b of the handle 6 may be provided in a wave shape in addition to a straight bar shape to facilitate gripping. In addition, although a cross-sectional columnar shape is also conceivable, in the cross-sectional columnar shape, the contact portions of the gripping portions 6b on both sides come into contact with each other on an arc surface and become point contact. Therefore, in order to carry it in a more stable state, it is better that the gripping portions 6b are formed so as to face each other by surface contact. Moreover, although it is good also as a structure with a clearance gap between the holding parts 6b of the handle 6, in order to convey it in the more stable state, the structure which abuts the holding parts 6b and contacts is preferable.

図９（ａ）は箱正面１０側に形成されている位置ずれ防止機構１５を示す収納箱１の外観斜視図、図９（ｂ）は箱背面１２側に形成されている位置ずれ防止機構１５を示す収納箱１の外観斜視図である。 9A is an external perspective view of the storage box 1 showing the misalignment prevention mechanism 15 formed on the box front surface 10 side, and FIG. 9B is a misalignment prevention mechanism 15 formed on the box rear surface 12 side. It is an external appearance perspective view of the storage box 1 which shows.

前記位置ずれ防止機構１５は、収納箱１を並列配置した際に、互いに対向する収納箱１の箱正面１０と箱背面１２との対向面間において、位置ずれ防止用の一対の凹部１５ａと凸部１５ｂを箱正面１０と箱背面１２とに形成して、それぞれ嵌め合い可能な形状に設けたものである。図９においては、左右一対の凹部１５ａと凸部１５ｂを形成している。また、収納箱１の対向面に限らず、取っ手６の把持部６ｂ同士の対向面を凹凸対応させて設けてもよい。さらに、これらの凹部１５ａや凸部１５ｂは、四角、台形、円形などからなる凹凸を対応させる構成、Ｓ字溝やＶ字溝を対応させる構成、あるいはフック形状のような構成でもよい。このように、位置ずれ防止機構１５として、両収納箱１間における対接面の一部を凹凸形状に嵌合対応させることで、収納箱１同士を定位置に密着させて、より安定した結合状態を維持できるため、持ち運びがし易くなる。 When the storage boxes 1 are arranged in parallel, the misalignment prevention mechanism 15 has a pair of recesses 15a and a convex for preventing misalignment between the opposing surfaces of the box front surface 10 and the box rear surface 12 of the storage box 1 facing each other. The part 15b is formed in the box front surface 10 and the box back surface 12, and each is provided in a shape that can be fitted. In FIG. 9, a pair of left and right concave portions 15a and convex portions 15b are formed. Moreover, you may provide not only the opposing surface of the storage box 1 but the opposing surface of the holding parts 6b of the handle 6 corresponding to an unevenness | corrugation. Further, the concave portions 15a and the convex portions 15b may be configured to correspond to irregularities such as squares, trapezoids, and circles, to correspond to S-shaped grooves and V-shaped grooves, or to have a configuration such as a hook shape. In this way, as the misalignment prevention mechanism 15, a part of the contact surface between the two storage boxes 1 is made to fit and correspond to the concave and convex shapes, so that the storage boxes 1 are brought into close contact with each other, and more stable coupling is achieved. Since the state can be maintained, it becomes easy to carry.

図１０は薄型の取っ手６を用いて収納箱１の高さを低くするようコンパクト化を図った構成例を示している。前記薄型の取っ手６は、傾倒位置Ａにおいて取っ手６が水平に傾倒した状態で、該取っ手６を薄肉（図１０ではコ型両片の薄型化を示している）にして該取っ手６の介在スペースを縮小化している。これにより、収納箱１の高さを若干低くして収納箱１のコンパクト化を図っている。すなわち、取っ手６を薄肉にしている分だけ収納箱１内部の構造を上方に移動させて、収納空間を大きくとることができる。 FIG. 10 shows an example of a configuration that is made compact by using a thin handle 6 to reduce the height of the storage box 1. The thin handle 6 is formed in a state where the handle 6 is tilted horizontally at the tilt position A, and the handle 6 is made thin (in FIG. 10, the thinning of both U-shaped pieces). Is reduced. Thereby, the height of the storage box 1 is slightly lowered, and the storage box 1 is made compact. That is, the storage space can be increased by moving the structure inside the storage box 1 upward by the amount of the handle 6 being thin.

図１１は取っ手６の各種の取り付け例を示している。図１１（ａ）は取っ手６を箱側面１１に取り付けた構成例である。この場合は、収納箱１の箱側面１１に位置する取っ手６を掴んで収納箱１を水平方向に進退させて、この水平方向より着脱する横型の収納構造の場合に適用することができる。また、横型の収納構造であっても収納箱１を並列配置した状態から、両側の取っ手６の把持部６ｂを山形ブリッジ状に突き合わせた状態に対向させれば、片手で一括して把持することができる。この場合も、片手で２個の収納箱１を着脱操作することができる。 FIG. 11 shows various attachment examples of the handle 6. FIG. 11A is a configuration example in which the handle 6 is attached to the box side surface 11. In this case, the present invention can be applied to a horizontal storage structure in which the handle 6 located on the box side surface 11 of the storage box 1 is grasped and the storage box 1 is advanced and retracted in the horizontal direction, and is detached from the horizontal direction. Moreover, even if it is a horizontal storage structure, if the holding parts 6b of the handles 6 on both sides are opposed to a state where they are abutted in a chevron bridge shape from the state in which the storage boxes 1 are arranged in parallel, they can be collectively held with one hand. Can do. Also in this case, the two storage boxes 1 can be attached and detached with one hand.

図１１（ｂ）は横長の収納箱１の上面に取っ手６を有する場合を示し、収納箱１を横長の状態で使用される場合に適用することができる。この場合も同様に収納箱１を並列すれば、片手で２個の収納箱１を着脱操作及び運搬することができる。 FIG. 11B shows a case where the handle 6 is provided on the upper surface of the horizontally long storage box 1 and can be applied when the storage box 1 is used in a horizontally long state. In this case as well, if the storage boxes 1 are arranged in parallel, the two storage boxes 1 can be attached and detached and transported with one hand.

以上説明したように、この発明の収納箱１を用いれば、係員が取っ手６を持って収納箱１を着脱する場合、その取っ手６の回動支持部６ａの位置が収納箱１の重心Ｇに対応した位置に取り付けられているため、収納箱１は傾かず、バランスのとれた垂直な姿勢を保って着脱することができる。したがって、２個の収納箱１を片手で一括して着脱する場合であっても、両側の収納箱１の各重心位置上からの把持部６ｂの両回動軌跡Ｄが当接する一点が一括把持位置となり、両側の把持部６ｂを突き合わせた山形ブリッジ状の一括把持位置を掴めば２個の収納箱１の重心がとれた位置からの一括した着脱操作ができる。このため、片手で２個の収納箱１を効率よく一括して着脱及び持ち運ぶことができる。その際に、収納箱１は吊支状態で重心がとれて傾かず、安全に着脱及び持ち運ぶことが可能になる。また、２個の収納箱運搬時には両手が塞がって不自由になることがなく、また最大４個まで一度に持ち運ぶことができる。 As described above, when the storage box 1 of the present invention is used, when the clerk holds the handle 6 and attaches or detaches the storage box 1, the position of the rotation support portion 6 a of the handle 6 becomes the center of gravity G of the storage box 1. Since it is attached to the corresponding position, the storage box 1 does not tilt and can be attached and detached while maintaining a balanced vertical posture. Therefore, even when the two storage boxes 1 are attached and detached all at once with one hand, one point where the two turning trajectories D of the gripping portions 6b come into contact with each other from the positions of the center of gravity of the storage boxes 1 on both sides is collectively held. If the gripping position of the mountain bridge shape in which the gripping portions 6b on both sides are abutted is grasped, the attaching and detaching operations can be performed collectively from the position where the centers of gravity of the two storage boxes 1 are removed. Therefore, the two storage boxes 1 can be efficiently attached and detached and carried with one hand. At that time, the storage box 1 can be safely attached / detached and carried without tilting because the center of gravity is not tilted in a suspended state. Also, when carrying two storage boxes, both hands are not blocked and inconvenient, and up to four can be carried at a time.
