Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to an improved structure of a returnable box that is used to carry items and return them after use.

(Prior Art) Conventional returnable boxes have an integral structure with a bottom and side frames and an opening at the top, and when items are carried inside the box, they are not returned until the box is empty. In addition, returnable boxes are sometimes used by recipients for other purposes and are not returned, resulting in a poor collection rate. Additionally, if the items could not be collected, the returnable boxes would have to be refilled, resulting in increased costs.

(Problems that the invention attempts to solve) This invention was an attempt to solve the problems of the conventional methods described above, and it goes without saying that the original function of returnable boxes can be fully fulfilled, and it also improves retrieval. ,
The objective is to provide a returnable box that can reduce loss costs.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means of this invention is such that a bottom plate fitted in an annular side frame is fixed via a locking belt, and the upper part is an opening. The side frame is formed to be foldable via a hinge means, and a belt engaging portion is provided on the opposing side frame portion, and a belt engaging portion is provided on the lower side portion of the side frame and a side portion of the bottom plate. is provided with a removable engagement means, and the locking belt is hung to fix the bottom plate fitted on the side frame, and the engagement means removably engages with each belt engagement portion of the side frame. The belt is made of a belt having the following characteristics.

(Function) The bottom plate fitted into the side frame is positioned by the engaging means and fixed to the side frame by the locking belt. The locking belt is disposed on the lower surface of the bottom plate, and the belt engaging means at both ends are engaged with the engaging portions of the side frames to lift and fix the bottom plate, thereby forming a returnable box with a bottom.
The bottom plate is separated from the side plate by removing the belt engaging part from the engaging part of the side frame. The separated side frames of the bottom plate are folded into a flat plate via hinge means.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a side frame 2, a bottom plate 6, and a locking belt 9, which are the constituent members of a returnable box 1. The side frame 2 has an annular shape in which the ends of two sets of side plates 2A, 2A, 2B, 2B are connected by hinge means 3 to 3, and can be folded into a flat plate by overlapping them from a predetermined rectangular shape. It's like getting.

Opposing side plates of the side frame 2 (in this example, the short side plates 2B,
2B), gripping parts 4, 4 are provided through the upper center thereof. Note that the lower sides of the gripping parts 4, 4 serve as engaging parts 4A, 4A of the locking belt 9. Further, a predetermined number (two in this example) of engagement recesses 5 to 5 are provided at the lower end of the other opposing side plate (long side plates 2A, 2A in this example).

The bottom plate 6 has a rectangular shape large enough to fit into the rectangular side frame 2, and each engaging recess of the side frame 2 is provided on both opposing sides (in this example, the long side) of the bottom plate 6. 5
-5 are formed with protruding locking parts 8-8 that fit into them. Cutouts 7, 7 through which the belt passes are formed on opposite sides of the bottom plate 6 (in this example, the short sides). In addition, the side frame 2 and the bottom plate 6 are
Made of synthetic resin such as FRP.

The locking belt 9 is for fixing the bottom plate 6 fitted to the side frame 2, and locking hooks 11, 11 are formed at both ends of a soft belt 10.
It has a predetermined length that can support the bottom plate 6 fitted therein so that it does not come off. The belt 10 is made of a soft material such as cloth, leather, or synthetic resin, and the locking hooks 11 are made of hard synthetic resin or metal. In this example, metal locking parts are caulked and formed at both ends of a strong cloth band.

A locking belt 9 is arranged on the lower surface side of the bottom plate 6, and locking hooks 11, 1 at both ends of the locking belt 9 are arranged.
The first side is made to appear upward through the notches 7, 7 of the bottom plate 6, and is fitted into the bottom plate 6 of the rectangular side frame 2. That is, after fitting the locking portions 8 to 8 of the bottom plate 6 into the locking recesses 5 to 5 of the side frame 2, respectively, the locking hooks 11, 11 of the locking belt 9 are fitted to the locking portions 4A of the handle portions 4, 4. , 4A to fix the bottom plate 6 to the side frame 2 to form a returnable box 1 with an opening at the top.

Articles S are placed in a returnable box 1 and transported to a predetermined destination. At the destination, the locking hook 1 of the locking belt 9 engaged with the handles 4, 4 of the side frame 2
1 and 11 to the inside of the side frame 2 to remove them and lift the side frame 2, the bottom plate 6 on which the item S is placed and the side frame 2 are separated. The bottom plate 6 on which the item S is placed is stored in a predetermined locker (not shown), and the side frame 2
is folded into a flat plate shape and collected together with the locking belt 9.

In the embodiment described above, the locking hooks 11, 11 of the locking belt 9 were engaged with the engaging portion 4A of the handle portion 4 provided through the side frame 2, but the engaging means of the handle portion and the locking belt are The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, in the case of the returnable box 21 shown in FIG.
and the locking belt 29 and the engaging portion 2 of the locking hook 11
4A is a locking belt 29 formed in the shape of a notch on the upper side of the side frame 22 and arranged to fix the bottom plate 6.
The locking hook 11 is connected to the engaging portion 24A on the upper side of the side frame 22.
The structure may be such that it can be engaged with.

(Effects of the invention) Since the invention was made as a means to solve the above-mentioned problem,
The desired problem is resolved. That is, according to the present invention, since the side frame and the bottom plate are fixed, the box can be used as a returnable box for transporting items. After the goods have been transported to the destination, the bottom plate with the goods placed on it is removed from the side frame by operating the belt hook, the bottom plate with the goods placed on it is stored in a storage cabinet, etc., and the removed side frame is folded and collected. Ru. The collected side frames are assembled with another bottom plate and used as returnable boxes. The bottom plate placed at the destination is recovered as much as possible, but even if recovery is not possible, unlike the case where the entire returnable box is not recovered, the cost of loss is small, which is convenient.
