JP 2006-124128 A

  As a storage container for resource recovery, in various self-supporting containers made of resin fiber nets, it is necessary to deploy the container in a dirty state in actual use, due to its folding method and structure, Not only inconvenient but also unsanitary.

  The container described in Patent Document 1 is configured to be self-supporting with the upper opening being opened, and the opening is closed using the mouth strap 8. Therefore, when the object is put in from the state in which the opening is closed, the mouth strap 8 is loosened to open the opening again, the front and rear or left and right wall surfaces are pushed out by hand, and the opening is closed. Therefore, it is necessary to tighten the lace again, which is inconvenient and troublesome.

  Similar to the above, when using a gusseted purse-type flat bag made of a resin fiber net as a storage container for resource recovery, it is placed on the ground as it is. In addition, it is not only inconvenient but also unsanitary, which requires a complicated operation of once lifting a bag placed on the ground at the time of loading the container, widening the mouth, and closing it again after loading. In addition, there are auxiliary equipment used to solve the problem, but it must be installed by the administrator for each collection.

  The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such a conventional container.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides, as a first means, a cylindrical container composed of a plastic resin fiber net having an opening at the top and a side and a bottom. Each opposing part is creased over the entire length in the height direction of one line, contracted in the direction of closing the opening, stretched when external force is applied, and elastically restored when external force is removed The container is characterized by the above (claim 1).

  As a second means, the container is characterized in that a freely bendable weight is attached to the boundary portion between the side and bottom of the container (Claim 2).

  As a third means, the bottom part is composed of a quadrangle and the side part is composed of four surfaces. On the opposing surfaces of the side parts, the fold is attached to the center in the width direction, and the bottom part is arranged on two diagonal lines. The container is characterized in that it can be folded into the interior of the container by attaching a second crease on the line connecting the crease and the crease attached to the opposite side portion. 3).

  As a fourth means, the side part of the container has at least a pair of opposing insertion parts in the height direction at positions corresponding to the corners of the side part four surfaces, and the insertion part includes a side part and a side part. The container is configured to pass through the boundary portion of the bottom portion and protrude from the bottom portion (claim 4).

  When the container of the present invention is installed, the opening part contracts in the closing direction due to the folds on the container side as described above, and the side part can be easily extended and loaded when the object is loaded. After that, by removing the external force, the opening is contracted again in the closing direction due to its elasticity, so that it is easy to throw in the object to be accommodated, and it is convenient that almost no operation is required after throwing in (claim 1). .

  By applying a crease to the container side as described above, the opposing surfaces of the creased side part each form a triangle, and the strength against the load from above and the strength against the bending direction increase. The center of gravity is lower than that of a rectangular side-shaped container (Claim 1), and a weight is attached to the boundary between the side and the bottom, so there is no to-be-contained object or a small amount. Can be improved (claim 2).

  When used as a storage container for the collection of recyclable materials outdoors, there are many unspecified users, and there are various methods for loading the contents. As mentioned above, the stability and structural strength of the container By increasing the value, there is an effect of making it difficult to cause scattering of the object to be contained due to overturning and at the same time making it difficult to impair the aesthetic appearance (claims 1 to 2).

  Since the container of the present invention has folds at the side and folds at the bottom, the container can be easily folded and stored in the same shape when not in use (Claims 1 to 3).

  The effect which further assists the independence which a container main body has is acquired by inserting a support | pillar in a side part square. In addition, when holding the support, not only is it easy to fold the container body made of a flexible plastic resin fiber net, but the container body can be inverted during collection to take out the objects to be stored. It becomes easy (claim 4).

  In the case of rigid box-shaped plastic containers, when the objects to be stacked are stacked, even if there are gaps between the objects to be stored, it is not easy to pack them, and it is easy to create a useless gap, and the actual capacity meets the original capacity of the container. Often not. However, in the present invention, since the container body is made of a plastic resin fiber net, even when the objects to be stored are put into the container and overlapped, a wasteful gap is formed by the flexibility of the container. It is difficult and can be stored packed and stored more efficiently.

  In a hard box-type plastic container, its own weight becomes heavy, so it is difficult to easily expand the container body. Further, among the containers made of resin fiber nets, those configured in a cubic shape need to have a large bottom area in order to increase the volume, which increases the occupied area at the installation location. However, in the present invention, since the height direction of the side portion of the container can be expanded upward, the amount of accommodation can be increased without increasing the occupied area of the installation place. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture in a desired size in consideration of the weight of the container and the object to be stored.

  By constituting the container of the present invention with a plastic resin fiber net, the inside of the container can be seen from the outside, and the discrimination of the object to be contained is facilitated. In particular, it is easy to determine when foreign substances other than the target resource are mixed.

  The advantage of the container being self-supporting is that the container is only thrown in from the upper opening, so that the operation at the time of loading is convenient and the loaded container is not easily spilled. When used as a storage container for collecting items, there is often a notation of the target resource, and the notation may be easier to see because the container is self-supporting.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The container body 100 is a cylindrical container made of a plastic resin fiber net having an upper opening 1 and a side part 2 and a bottom part 3 on the upper side. A pleat 4 extending along the entire length in the height direction of one line is attached and contracted in the direction of closing the opening, and is extended when an external force is applied, and is elastically restored when the external force is removed. A bidirectional arrow a in the figure indicates a state in which the upper opening 1 expands and contracts by reciprocating between a solid line and a two-dot chain line.

  In FIG. 1, the container body 100 is sewn so that the boundary between the side portion 2 and the bottom portion 3 has a bag shape. It is preferable to attach a chain band to make the weight 5. In the square of the main body, there is a column insertion part 8 which is sewn in a bag shape in the height direction for inserting the column 9, and the bottom part 3 has a first crease 6 on the diagonal line and an opposing side part 2. A second crease 7 is formed on the line connecting the fold 4 and the fold 4.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the weight 5 attached to the periphery of the boundary between the side portion 2 and the bottom portion 3 surrounded by the circle in FIG. The column insertion portion 8 sewed in a bag shape in the height direction of the side portion 2 to insert the column 9 passes through the boundary portion between the side portion 2 and the bottom portion 3 so as to cross the column 9 and the weight 5, 3 so as to protrude from 3. This is to prevent the column 9 from rotating from its tip when the column 9 is mounted on the upper portion of the weight 5.

  The bendable weight 5 attached to the joint portion of the side portion 2 and the bottom portion 3 makes it easy to adhere to the installation surface, and in combination with the weight of the weight 5, it becomes easy to stabilize during installation.

  FIG. 3 shows an outline view as an example of the upper opening 1 when contracted. A bidirectional arrow b in the figure indicates a state in which the upper opening 1 expands and contracts by reciprocating between the solid line and the two-dot chain line.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the bottom 3 and the first crease 6 and the second crease 7. In FIG. 4, the first fold line 6 represents a valley fold with a one-dot chain line, and the second fold line 7 represents a mountain fold with a broken line.

  FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the bottom 3.

  In FIG. 5, the fold 4 on the container side 2 and the second crease 7 attached to the bottom 3 are attached to the outside of the main body so as to form a mountain fold, thereby repelling each other and repelling each other. 3 becomes easy to spread, and the effect of maintaining the above-described stability is obtained. In FIG. 5, the first fold line 6 represents a mountain fold with a broken line, and the second fold line 7 represents a valley fold with a one-dot chain line.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of use of the present invention. When the container of the present invention is installed, the upper opening portion 1 contracts in the closing direction, and when the object 10 is put in, the side portion 2 is easily extended by the user's hand (external force), When the hand is released (release the external force), the upper opening 1 contracts again in the closing direction due to its elasticity, so that it is easy to load the object 10 and almost no operation is required after the loading. Convenient.

  FIG. 7 shows a state in which the container of the present invention is folded. When the container body 100 is folded by inserting a pair of pillars 9 into the square of the container body 2 in the height direction, it is made of a flexible plastic resin. The operation of the container made of a fiber net can be simplified.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the container body 100 may be reversed when collecting the objects to be stored. Since the member constituting the container itself is made of a plastic resin fiber net, it is lightweight, and the recovery worker 11 can be made flexible by inserting the pillars 9 into the squares of the container body 100. The entire container 100 made of a plastic resin fiber net can be easily held and can be easily operated.

  FIG. 9 shows a modification of the embodiment of the present invention. A flexible net-like body 12 is attached to the periphery of the upper opening 1 of the container body 100, and a mouth strap 13 is attached to the upper periphery of the container body 100, thereby intentionally closing the upper opening 1 of the container body 100. It becomes possible. For example, when the object 10 is transported in a state where the object 10 is accommodated in the container body 100, the object is not scattered. The net-like body 12 is more flexible than the net constituting the container body 100 and is easy to operate.

  9, the pinch 14 is attached to the tip of the mouth strap 13 attached to the upper peripheral edge of the mesh body 12, and the pinch 14 is attached to a fence around the housing installation location, thereby further preventing the movement or the fall due to strong winds or the like. Can be obtained.

  As a constituent member of the container body of the present invention, the net-like cylindrical part of the side part 2 and the bottom part 3 is, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate resin fiber net, the weight 5 is an iron chain-like band, the post 9 is aluminum, etc. By using this metal pipe, it can be reused as a resource without being discarded after being used as a container.

  As a constituent member of the container body of the present invention, when the mesh-like cylindrical portions of the side portion 2 and the bottom portion 3 are made of, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate resin fiber net, due to its elasticity and tensile strength, etc. It is preferable to use a net having a raschel knitting height of 888 dtex or more. The elasticity of the net not only increases the self-supporting property of the container, but also has the effect of naturally spreading the bottom 3 of the container, so that the operation can be simplified during installation.

  The net as a member constituting the main body of the present invention is not limited to the above-described materials and knitting methods, and the same effect can be obtained even if the net has equal or higher elasticity and tensile strength.

  The crease 4 attached to the side part 2 is required to be at least one streak, but when the odd number such as 3, 5, 7 is used, the bottom 3 and the top opening 1 have a quadrangle in which the shape at the time of opening is almost a right angle. Therefore, the installation location can be used efficiently during installation.

  The pleats 4 attached to the side portion 2 can be configured with even numbers such as two or four.

  The fold 4 and the first crease 6 and the second crease 7 are preferably subjected to heat treatment such as iron or steam for the folding process, but the net cloth constituting the main body of the container is bonded, the structure of the net cloth, The same function can also be obtained by changing the mesh direction and sewing together.

  In the shape of the mesh constituting the container body of the present invention, since the rigidity can be enhanced by the structure of the mesh, the column 9 for assisting independence is mainly used in the room where the user is limited mainly in the home. It can be unnecessary.

  Although described according to FIGS. 1 to 9, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
