[0061] Left and right front sidewalls 23 constituting the cover 2 are continuously provided at the upper edge of the front portion of the left and right lower sidewalls 14. Left and right upper sidewalls 15 are continuously provided at the upper edge of the rear portion of the left and right lower sidewalls 14.

[0062] [Left and right upper sidewalls 15]

[0063] The left and right upper sidewalls 15 are formed such that their dimensions gradually decrease upwards in the front-to-back direction. At the front edge of the left and right upper sidewalls 15, a first zipper element f1 constituting the zipper F is provided in a manner that is continuous with the upper edge of the rear wall 13.

[0064] <<Cover 2>>

[0065] The cover 2 is supported relative to the main body 1 of the storage device so that it can rotate between an open position (G) and a closed position (H).

[0066] The cover 2 includes: an upper front wall 21, which is continuously disposed with the upper edge of the front wall 12 constituting the main body 1 of the storage device; a top wall 22, which extends from the upper edge of the upper front wall 21 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the upper front wall 21; and left and right front side walls 23, which are continuously disposed with the side edges of the upper front wall 21 and the top wall 22.

[0067] In this embodiment, an article container B for holding article C is provided on the inner surface side of the cover 2.

[0068] <Upper Front Wall 21>

[0069] The upper front wall 21 is generally rectangular in shape. The upper front wall 21 is connected to the front wall 12 in a manner that allows it to rotate in the vertical direction. In other words, a hinge part N is provided between the upper edge of the front wall 12 and the lower edge of the upper front wall 21.

[0070] In the closed position (H), the superior anterior wall 21 is in an upright position relative to the anterior wall 12. In the open position (G), the superior anterior wall 21 is in a position that is tilted downwards and forwards.

[0071] <Top Wall 22>

[0072] The top wall 22 is roughly rectangular in shape. A handle T is provided on the outer surface of the top wall 22 so that the user can hold it in the closed position (H).

[0073] At the extended end of the top wall 22, i.e., the rear edge in the closed posture (H), a second zipper element f2 constituting the zipper F is provided in a manner that is continuous with the rear edge of the left and right front side walls 23.

[0074] <Left and right anterior side walls 23>

[0075] The left and right front sidewalls 23 are formed such that, in the closed posture (H), the front-to-back dimensions gradually shorten downwards.

[0076] The extended ends of the left and right front sidewalls 23, i.e. the rear end edges in the closed posture (H), are provided with a second zipper element f2 constituting the zipper F in a manner that is continuous with the rear end edge of the top wall 22.

[0077] Next, the item container B provided in the storage body A of this embodiment will be described.

[0078] <Item Container B>

[0079] The item container B has an opening K for taking out and putting in the item C and has an internal storage space sp for holding the item C.

[0080] In this embodiment, the opening K of the article container B is located at the top when the cover 2 is in the open position (G). The opening K of the article container B is located at the bottom when the cover 2 is in the closed position (H). In other words, the article container B is reversed vertically and horizontally depending on whether the cover 2 is in the open position (G) or the closed position (H).

[0081] The following descriptions of the front, back, left, right, and up / down positions of the item container B will be based on the premise that the cover 2 is in the open position (G).

[0082] The article container B comprises: a front part 3, which is disposed with its inner surface facing the receiving space sp; a cover 4, which extends from the upper part of the front part 3 and can seal the opening K without fastening; an upper front wall 21, which is disposed behind the front part 3 and the cover 4, i.e., disposed at a position further back than the front part 3 and the cover 4; and a top wall 22, which is disposed below the front part 3 and the upper front wall 21.

[0083] The storage unit B has a storage space sp surrounded by a front part 3, a cover part 4, an upper front wall 21 as the rear part, and a top wall 22 as the bottom part.

[0084] [Front Section 3]

[0085] The front part 3 is positioned forward of the upper front wall 21. The left and right side edges of the front part 3 are sewn onto the left and right side edges of the upper front wall 21. The lower edge of the front part 3 is sewn onto the top wall 22.

[0086] [Cover 4]

[0087] The cover 4 is integrally and continuously provided from the upper edge of the front part 3. The top part 42 of the cover 4 extends downward in the blocking position (R). In the blocking position (R), the top part 42 of the cover 4 is attached to and arranged along the upper front wall 21, which is the rear part.

[0088] In the middle of the base end portion 41 in the width direction of the cover portion 4, there is a portion Q configured to be bent without bending relative to the front portion 3 in the blocking posture (R). That is, in the middle of the base end portion 41 in the left-right direction of the cover portion 4, there is a portion Q in a shape that bends upward in the blocking posture (R).

[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, the vertical dimension w1 of the cover 4 is set to be one-quarter longer than the vertical dimension w2 of the front part 3. Furthermore, in order to properly suppress the item C stored in the receiving space sp from flying out, the vertical dimension w1 of the cover 4 is preferably set to be half (one-half) longer than the vertical dimension w2 of the front part 3, as shown in the example.

[0090] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cover 4 can adopt a sealing posture (R) to block the opening K in a way that prevents the article C from escaping to the outside through the opening K.

[0091] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the cover 4 can be in an open position (U) such that the opening K can be opened relative to the receiving space sp to allow the item C to be taken out and placed.

[0092] At the base end 41 of the cover portion 4, a sewing thread ns is provided over approximately the entire area in the left-right direction. The sewing thread ns is located at approximately the uppermost part of the base end 41 in the blocking posture (R). The sewing thread ns provided at the base end 41 of the cover portion 4 functions as a core to stabilize the shape of the middle part in the left-right direction of the base end 41 in the blocking posture (R), that is, the part Q that is bent in an upward convex manner.

[0093] <Regarding the front part 3 and the cover part 4>

[0094] The front part 3 and the cover part 4 are made of a single sheet material P. A strip-shaped edge binding material E is provided at the end edge of the cover part 4.

[0095] The single sheet P constituting the main body of the front part 3 and the cover part 4 is a flexible mesh sheet. The single sheet P is a sheet made of synthetic resin that has the elastic deformation force to return to a flat shape under no load. The single sheet P has a mesh structure that can be visually confirmed from one side to the other.

[0096] In this embodiment, a posture stabilization unit S is provided between the front part 3 and the cover part 4 to stabilize the cover part 4 in a blocking posture (R).

[0097] The posture stabilization unit S fixes the opposing portions t of the left and right ends of the single sheet P to each other, that is, the opposing portions t of the left and right ends of the front part 3 and the left and right ends of the cover part 4.

[0098] In this embodiment, the posture stabilization unit S is formed by sewing together the opposing portions t of the left and right ends of the front part 3 and the left and right ends of the cover part 4.

[0099] <<Zipper F>>

[0100] The zipper F comprises: a first zipper element f1, which is disposed on the side of the main body 1 of the storage utensil; a second zipper element f2, which is disposed on the side of the cover 2; and a slider fs, which is disposed between the first zipper element f1 and the second zipper element f2 and is able to engage and disengage the first and second zipper elements f1 and f2 by sliding.

[0101] As described above, the article container B of this embodiment has an opening K and an internal storage space sp for accommodating the article C is formed.

[0102] Furthermore, the item container B includes: a front part 3, which is disposed with its inner surface facing the receiving space sp; and a cover part 4, which extends from the upper part of the front part 3 and can seal the opening K without fastening.

[0103] In the article container B, the top part 42 of the cover 4 extends downward, and the middle part of the base end 41 in the cover 4 has a portion that is curved without bending relative to the front part 3.

[0104] Therefore, it is possible to provide an item container B that not only allows the opening K to be opened and closed flexibly, but also easily forms a relatively large storage space sp for the items to be stored C.

[0105] That is, the cover 4 can seal the opening K without using a fastener, so there is no trouble of engaging or disengaging the fastener, and the opening K can be opened and closed relatively easily by the user inserting a finger into the receiving space sp.

[0106] Furthermore, in the sealing posture (R), the top part 42 of the cover 4 of the item container B extends downward, and the middle part of the base end 41 in the width direction of the cover 4 is not bent relative to the front part 3.

[0107] Therefore, the item C stored in the storage space sp is difficult to come out of the storage space C, and it is easy to obtain a larger separation distance between the front part 3 and the upper front wall 21, which is the rear part, so that the storage space sp can be formed in advance in a larger manner.

[0108] The front part 3 and the cover part 4 are made of a single sheet Q.

[0109] Therefore, it is possible to design the cover portion 42 to extend downward in the blocking posture (R) and to make the middle portion Q of the base end portion 41 in the width direction bend without bending relative to the front portion 3.

[0110] Sheet Q is a mesh sheet that can be flexed and deformed.

[0111] Therefore, it is possible to visually confirm the items C contained within the containment space sp.

[0112] The cover 4 can adopt a blocking posture (R) to block the opening K and an opening posture (U) to open the opening K.

[0113] Therefore, by deforming the cover 4 by the user, the user can appropriately adopt a blocking posture (R) and an opening posture (U).

[0114] A posture stabilization unit S is provided between the front part 3 and the cover part 4 to stabilize the cover part 4 in a blocking posture (R).

[0115] Therefore, the item C stored in the containment space sp is unlikely to fly out of the cover 4.

[0116] The posture stabilization unit S fixes the opposing portions t of the front part 3 and the cover part 4 to each other.

[0117] Therefore, by fixing the opposing parts t to each other in a relatively easy process, a suitable configuration can be achieved that makes it difficult for the item C stored in the containing space sp to fly out of the cover 4.

[0118] It has a rear part disposed behind the front part 3 and the cover part 4, that is, disposed at a position further behind the front part 3 and the cover part 4, and the top part 42 of the cover part 4 is disposed along the rear part.

[0119] Therefore, the item C stored in the containment space sp is difficult to pass between the rear face and the cover 4.

[0120] The vertical dimension w1 of the cover portion 4 is set to be one-quarter longer than the vertical dimension w2 of the front portion 3. In this embodiment, the vertical dimension w1 of the cover portion 4 is set to be half (one-half) longer than the vertical dimension w2 of the front portion 3.

[0121] Therefore, the cover 4, which is in a blocked posture (R), is difficult to change its posture to an open posture (U), thus appropriately suppressing the flying out of the item C stored in the containment space sp.

[0122] The middle portion of the base end portion 41 in the cover portion 4 is curved in a way that protrudes upwards.

[0123] Therefore, it has the following suitable shape: it can achieve a larger separation distance between the front part 3 and the rear part, and it can form a larger accommodating space sp.

[0124] The storage appliance A is composed of a storage appliance body 1 and a cover 2 which is continuously arranged with the storage appliance body 1 and has an item container B provided on its inner surface.

[0125] Therefore, it is possible to provide a storage device A that, in addition to the basic item storage function of the main body 1, also has excellent usability by utilizing the item container B, which facilitates the quick retrieval and placement of item C.

[0126] The cover 2 is rotatably supported relative to the main body 1 of the storage utensil, and can rotate between an open position (G) and a closed position (H). Furthermore, when in the open position (G), the opening K of the item container B is located above, and when in the closed position (H), the opening K of the item container B is located below.

[0127] Therefore, although the item storage body is upside down depending on the posture of the cover 2, it becomes a suitable structure that makes it difficult for item C to fly out of the storage space sp.

[0128] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above.

[0129] The container for an item is not limited to the structure of a cover set on a storage appliance.

[0130] For example, it can be based on an object container, or it can consist of only an object container.

[0131] Item containers can also be set up for stationery other than utensils, furniture, and storage containers.

[0132] The front and cover sections may not be made of a single sheet or a mesh.

[0133] The posture stabilization unit only needs to be able to stabilize the cover in the sealing posture. For example, it can also be fixed to each other by heat fusion, or by using fasteners such as eyelets or staples.

[0134] The top and bottom dimensions of the cover can also be set to be longer than half the top and bottom dimensions of the front part.

[0135] The bottom wall is not limited to its entire lower surface being in contact with the mounting surface of the top plate, etc. For example, it may only be partially in contact with the mounting surface, or it may be configured to be in contact with the mounting surface via a grounding member.

[0136] Furthermore, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
