Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a holder used for attaching a wireless information means such as an ID tag to a carrier, and to a carrier to which a wireless information means is attached using a holder. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when attaching a wireless information means such as an ID tag to a transport device such as a pallet, it is known to place the wireless information means in a holder capable of accommodating the wireless information means and then attach the holder to the transport device (see, for example, Patent Document 1, etc.). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-85545 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, even if the holder is attached to the carrier so that it cannot be displaced relative to the holder, if the wireless information means displaces relative to the holder inside the holder, there is a concern that the wireless information means may break down or make abnormal noise.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the problems exemplified above, and its object is to provide a holder and a carrier that can securely hold wireless information means and prevent failure of the wireless information means. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The following describes each of the means suitable for achieving the above objects. Note that, as necessary, the specific effects of the corresponding means will be added.

[0007] Means 1. A holder for attaching a wireless information means to a carrier, comprising: a housing section capable of housing a wireless information means; an elastic pressing and holding portion capable of being pressed against the wireless information means accommodated in the accommodation portion, The elastic pressing and holding portion includes at least a first elastic pressing and holding portion and a second elastic pressing and holding portion, A holder characterized in that the first elastic pressing retaining portion and the second elastic pressing retaining portion are arranged such that when a wireless information means is pressed against one of the first elastic pressing retaining portion and the second elastic pressing retaining portion, a force acting on the wireless information means acts on the other of the first elastic pressing retaining portion and the second elastic pressing retaining portion via the wireless information means.

[0008] According to the means 1, the wireless information means accommodated in the accommodation section can be held by the elastic pressing holding section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wireless information means from breaking down or generating abnormal noise due to the wireless information means being displaced relative to the holder in the accommodation section (such as the wireless information means hitting the inner surface of the accommodation section hard). Furthermore, since the elastic pressing holding section has elasticity, it is possible to relatively increase the tolerance range of the holder and the wireless information means, and it is possible to prevent the wireless information means and the holder (elastic pressing holding section) from being damaged when attaching and detaching the wireless information means to and from the holder. Furthermore, at least a first elastic pressing holding section and a second elastic pressing holding section are provided as the elastic pressing holding section, and the first elastic pressing holding section and the second elastic pressing holding section are configured to urge (sandwich) the wireless information means in a direction pressing them against each other. Therefore, a sufficient holding force for the wireless information means housed in the housing can be ensured without making the biasing force of each of the elastic pressing retaining parts too strong (and thus without making each of the elastic pressing retaining parts large). As a result, the wireless information means housed in the housing can be held more reliably while preventing the holder from becoming larger and the ease of inserting the wireless information means into the housing from decreasing. Note that the wireless information means is intended to include a control circuit, memory, and antenna, as well as a portion that is pressed against the elastic pressing retaining parts (such as a case or cover that covers the control circuit, memory, and antenna).

[0009] Means 2. At least a part of the elastic pressing and holding portion is a curved portion that is curved so as to be convex toward the inside of the storage portion, the housing has an entrance opening through which the wireless information means can be inserted into the housing, The holder described in means 1 is characterized in that at least one of the elastic pressing retaining portions is configured to be able to be pressed against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting the insertion direction in which the wireless information means is inserted into the storage portion through the entrance opening, and the curved portion of the elastic pressing retaining portion has an inclined portion in the portion on the entrance opening side that inclines toward the outer periphery of the entrance opening toward the entrance opening side.

[0010] According to the second aspect, the elastic pressing holding part is provided with a curved part that is convex toward the inside of the storage part, and at least the curved part is pressed against the wireless information means. At least one of the elastic pressing holding parts is capable of pressing against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting with the insertion direction of the wireless information means into the storage part, and the wireless information means is held by the elastic pressing holding part at the stage of inserting the wireless information means into the storage part. Therefore, in the process of storing the wireless information means in the holder and attaching the holder to a carrier or the like, it is possible to prevent the wireless information means from falling off the holder, and as a result, it is possible to improve the workability of attaching the wireless information means to the holder. Furthermore, of the elastic pressing holding part (curved part) capable of pressing against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting with the insertion direction of the wireless information means into the storage part, a sloping part is provided at the entrance opening side, and it is possible to prevent the elastic pressing holding part (the side edge part of the curved part protruding inwardly from the storage part, on the entrance opening side) from interfering with the wireless information means in the middle of being inserted into the storage part.

[0011] Means 3. The curved portion includes a contact portion that can contact the center or a range including the vicinity of the center of a predetermined side surface of the wireless information means accommodated in the accommodation portion, and a general portion (the contact portion and the general portion are arranged in a direction intersecting the insertion direction), A holder as described in means 2, characterized in that the width (in the insertion direction) of the portion of the inclined portion corresponding to the abutment portion is wider than the width (in the insertion direction) of the portion corresponding to the general portion.

[0012] According to the third aspect, the curved portion can abut against the central portion or the vicinity of the central portion of the predetermined side surface of the wireless information means accommodated in the housing, and therefore the wireless information means accommodated in the housing can be held more balanced and effectively. In addition, the width of the portion of the inclined portion corresponding to the abutment portion is wider than the width of the portion of the general portion of the elastic pressing holding portion that can press against the wireless information means in the direction intersecting the insertion direction of the wireless information means into the housing. This allows the wireless information means to be guided reliably and relatively smoothly to the abutment portion of the curved portion by the inclined portion when the wireless information means is inserted into the housing. This allows the wireless information means to be inserted into the housing more smoothly and the wireless information means accommodated in the housing to be further stabilized. Furthermore, the width of the portion of the inclined portion corresponding to the abutment portion is ensured, and therefore the abutment portion can be reinforced.

[0013] Means 4. A holder for attaching a wireless information means to a carrier, comprising: a housing section capable of housing a wireless information means; an elastic pressing and holding portion capable of being pressed against the wireless information means accommodated in the accommodation portion, At least a portion of the elastic pressing and holding portion is a curved portion that is curved so as to be convex toward an inner side of the storage portion, the housing has an entrance opening through which the wireless information means can be inserted into the housing, The elastic pressure retaining portion is configured to be capable of being pressed against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting an insertion direction in which the wireless information means is inserted into the entrance opening, and the curved portion of the elastic pressure retaining portion is provided with an inclined portion in the portion on the entrance opening side that inclines toward the outer periphery of the entrance opening toward the entrance opening side, characterized in that the elastic pressure retaining portion is configured to be pressed against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting an insertion direction in which the wireless information means is inserted into the entrance opening, and the curved portion of the elastic pressure retaining portion is provided with an inclined portion in the portion on the entrance opening side that inclines toward the outer periphery of the entrance opening toward the entrance opening side.

[0014] According to the fourth aspect, the wireless information means accommodated in the accommodation section can be held by the elastic pressing holding section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wireless information means from breaking down or generating abnormal noise due to the wireless information means being displaced relative to the holder in the accommodation section (e.g., the wireless information means coming into contact with the inner surface of the accommodation section). Furthermore, since the elastic pressing holding section has elasticity, it is possible to relatively increase the tolerance range of the holder and the wireless information means, and it is possible to prevent the wireless information means and the holder (elastic pressing holding section) from being damaged when attaching and detaching the wireless information means to and from the holder.

[0015] At least one of the elastic pressing retaining parts is capable of being pressed against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting with the insertion direction of the wireless information means into the storage part, and the wireless information means is held by the elastic pressing retaining part at the stage of inserting the wireless information means into the storage part. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wireless information means from falling out of the holder during the process of storing the wireless information means in the holder and attaching the holder to a carrier or the like, and as a result, it is possible to improve the workability of attaching the wireless information means to the holder. Furthermore, among the elastic pressing retaining parts (curved parts) capable of being pressed against the wireless information means in a direction intersecting with the insertion direction of the wireless information means into the storage part, an inclined part is provided at the part on the entrance opening side, and it is possible to prevent the elastic pressing retaining part (the side edge part on the entrance opening side of the curved part that protrudes inward from the storage part) from interfering with the wireless information means in the middle of being inserted into the storage part.

[0016] Means 5. The holder is constructed by assembling a plurality of holder members together, The holder member includes at least a first holder member and a second holder member, The first holder member includes a first accommodation portion constituting a part of the accommodation portion and a first elastic pressing and holding portion as the elastic pressing and holding portion, A holder described in any of means 1 to 4, characterized in that the second holder member has a second accommodating portion constituting a part of the accommodating portion and a second elastic pressing and retaining portion as the elastic pressing and retaining portion.

[0017] According to the fifth aspect, before the holder members are assembled, the entrance opening for inserting the wireless information means into the housing can be secured relatively wide, and after the holder members are assembled, the entrance opening can be made small or closed. Therefore, the wireless information means can be accommodated in the holder relatively easily and can be removed from the holder with a high degree of reliability. In addition, the structure of the mold for forming the holder (holder member) can be prevented from becoming complicated, and mold costs can be reduced.

[0018] In addition, the "first elastic pressing retaining portion as the elastic pressing retaining portion" and the "second elastic pressing retaining portion as the elastic pressing retaining portion" described in Means 5 are the same as the "first elastic pressing retaining portion" and the "second elastic pressing retaining portion" described in Means 1, and when citing the configuration described in Means 1 for the configuration described in Means 5, the "first elastic pressing retaining portion as the elastic pressing retaining portion" in Means 5 means "the first elastic pressing retaining portion," and the "second elastic pressing retaining portion as the elastic pressing retaining portion" in Means 5 means "the second elastic pressing retaining portion."

[0019] Means 6. A carrier comprising the holder according to any one of means 1 to 4 and a carrier body having a holder accommodating portion capable of accommodating the holder, The holder includes an attachment portion that is attached to a mounting portion provided in the holder accommodating portion of the carrier body, The mounting portion or the mounted portion is provided with an elastic mounting portion that is elastically deformable, A carrier characterized in that at least one of the elastic mounting portions is arranged so as to be capable of elastic deformation in a direction different from the direction in which the elastic pressing and retaining portion is capable of elastic deformation.

[0020] According to the sixth aspect, the elastic mounting portion and the elastic pressing retaining portion are arranged so that the directions of elastic deformation of each are dispersed as much as possible, and the number of elastic pressing retaining portions is minimized, while the directions in which the force applied to the wireless information means due to vibration of the carrier or the like can be absorbed and alleviated by the elastic pressing retaining portion and the elastic mounting portion can be increased. Therefore, by minimizing the number of elastic pressing retaining portions, the capacity of the storage portion can be secured (suppressing the size of the holder) and the ease of inserting the wireless information means into the storage portion can be improved, while protecting the wireless information means attached to the carrier, and failure of the wireless information means can be more reliably prevented. Only one of the mounting portion and the attached portion, or both, may be made the elastic mounting portion. Note that the configuration may be such that "the mounting portion is provided with an elastically deformable elastic mounting portion." In this case, for example, compared to the case in which the attached portion is made the elastic mounting portion instead of the mounting portion, the elastic mounting portion can be formed relatively easily and the complication of the mold structure of the carrier can be suppressed.

[0021] Means 7: A holder having a storage section capable of storing a wireless information means and an elastic pressing and holding section capable of pressing against the wireless information means stored in the storage section; a carrier body having a holder accommodating portion capable of accommodating the holder; In a vehicle comprising: The holder includes an attachment portion that is attached to a mounting portion provided in the holder accommodating portion of the carrier body, The mounting portion or the mounted portion is provided with an elastic mounting portion that is elastically deformable, A carrier characterized in that at least one of the elastic mounting portions is arranged so as to be capable of elastic deformation in a direction different from the direction in which the elastic pressing and retaining portion is capable of elastic deformation.

[0022] According to the seventh aspect, the wireless information means accommodated in the accommodation section can be held by the elastic pressing holding section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wireless information means from breaking down or generating abnormal noise due to the wireless information means being displaced relative to the holder in the accommodation section (e.g., the wireless information means coming into contact with the inner surface of the accommodation section). Furthermore, since the elastic pressing holding section has elasticity, it is possible to relatively increase the tolerance range of the holder and the wireless information means, and it is possible to prevent the wireless information means and the holder (elastic pressing holding section) from being damaged when attaching and detaching the wireless information means to and from the holder.

[0023] In addition, by arranging the elastic mounting parts and the elastic pressing retaining parts so that the directions of their elastic deformation are as dispersed as possible, it is possible to increase the directions in which the force applied to the wireless information means due to the vibration of the carrier can be absorbed and alleviated by the elastic pressing retaining parts and the elastic mounting parts while minimizing the number of elastic pressing retaining parts. Therefore, by minimizing the number of elastic pressing retaining parts, it is possible to protect the wireless information means attached to the carrier while ensuring the capacity of the storage part (suppressing the size of the holder) and improving the ease of inserting the wireless information means into the storage part, and it is possible to more reliably prevent the wireless information means from breaking down. Only one of the mounting part and the attached part, or both, may be made into the elastic mounting part. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which "the mounting part is provided with an elastically deformable elastic mounting part." In this case, for example, compared to a case in which the attached part is made into the elastic mounting part instead of the mounting part, it is possible to relatively easily form the elastic mounting part and to suppress the complication of the mold structure of the carrier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a pallet 1 as a carrier has a generally rectangular shape (generally square shape) in plan view. The pallet 1 also includes four corner pillars 2 provided at the four corners of the pallet 1, an intermediate pillar 3 provided at the intermediate portion between a pair of corner pillars 2 aligned along each side of the pallet 1, a central pillar 4 provided at the center of the pallet 1, an upper deck 5 connecting the upper ends of the corner pillars 2, the intermediate pillar 3, and the central pillar 4, and a lower deck 6 connecting the lower ends of the corner pillars 2, the intermediate pillar 3, and the central pillar 4. Between the pillars 2, 3, and 4, a fork insertion portion 7 into which the forks of a forklift, a handlift, or the like can be inserted is formed. The pallet 1 of this embodiment is a four-way insertion type pallet into which the forks can be inserted from the four side surfaces constituting the outer circumferential surface of the pallet 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the corner post portion 2, the intermediate post portion 3, the central post portion 4, and the upper deck portion 5 form a "loading surface 8" on which items can be placed, and the lower surfaces of the corner post portion 2, the intermediate post portion 3, the central post portion 4, and the lower deck portion 6 form a "contact surface 9" that comes into contact with an installation surface, such as the floor surface on which the pallet 1 is placed.

[0027] The pallet 1 also includes an upper component 10 including the upper half of the corner column portion 2, the intermediate column portion 3, and the central column portion 4, and an upper deck portion 5, and a lower component 11 including the lower half of the corner column portion 2, the intermediate column portion 3, and the central column portion 4, and a lower deck portion 6. The upper component portion 10 and the lower component portion 11 are integrally formed from polypropylene. The upper component portion 10 and the lower component portion 11 of this embodiment are configured to have the same shape and size. The lower edge portions of the corner column portion 2, the intermediate column portion 3, and the central column portion 4 of the upper component portion 10 and the upper edge portions of the corner column portion 2, the intermediate column portion 3, and the central column portion 4 of the lower component portion 11 are heat-welded (or vibration-welded) to integrate the upper component portion 10 and the lower component portion 11, thereby forming the pallet 1 of this embodiment.

[0028] 14, 15, etc., information about the items, etc. to be placed on the pallet 1 is stored on the pallet 1, and an ID tag 21 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 14. The ID tag may also be called a wireless tag, RFID tag, IC tag, electronic tag, non-contact tag, etc.) is attached to the pallet 1 as wireless information means capable of wireless communication with a corresponding reader / writer. As will be described in more detail later, in this embodiment, the ID tag 21 is accommodated in a holder 22 (see FIGS. 11, 12, etc.) that can accommodate the ID tag 21, and the holder 22 is attached to the pallet 1.

[0029] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the pallet 1 is provided with a holder accommodating section 13 capable of accommodating a holder 22 at the central column 4. The holder accommodating section 13 extends in the vertical direction (height direction of the pallet 1) and has a generally rectangular tubular shape that opens upward and downward. A locking section 14 is provided as a mounting section that protrudes from the inner side surface of the holder accommodating section 13 toward the inside of the holder accommodating section 13. The locking section 14 is provided at a position displaced a predetermined distance toward the center of the height direction of the pallet 1 from the placement surface 8 and at a position displaced a predetermined distance toward the center of the height direction of the pallet 1 from the ground surface 9. Of the locking section 14, the surface on the center side of the height direction of the pallet 1 extends in a generally horizontal direction, and the surface (upper or lower surface) on the opening side of the holder accommodating section 13 is inclined toward the center of the height direction of the pallet 1 toward the tip end side of the protruding direction of the locking section 14. Furthermore, the locking portion 14 on the mounting surface 8 side (hereinafter referred to as the "mounting surface side locking portion 14a") is provided at four locations so as to protrude from positions further forward in the clockwise direction than the center of each inner surface in a plan view among the four inner surfaces constituting the holder accommodating portion 13. Also, as described above, the locking portion 14 on the ground surface 9 side (hereinafter referred to as the "ground surface side locking portion 14b") is provided so as to protrude from positions further forward in the clockwise direction than the center of each inner surface in a bottom view on the four inner surfaces of the holder accommodating portion 13, since the upper component 10 and the lower component 11 have the same shape. Note that, regarding the holder accommodating portion 13, the welded portion between the upper component 10 and the lower component 11 has a concave shape, and the holder 22 can be accommodated in the holder accommodating portion 13 without any problems even if some welding burrs are generated.

[0030] The ID tag 21 also includes a control circuit, a memory, and an antenna, as well as a case that covers (contains) these. The outer shape of the case (ID tag 21) is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and is contained in the holder housing 13 with its longitudinal direction oriented in the up-down direction (substantially vertical direction). The ID tag 21 of this embodiment is an active ID tag with a built-in battery.

[0031] 7, 11, 18, etc., holder 22 includes a storage section 23 capable of storing ID tag 21, and an elastic pressing and holding section 24 capable of being pressed against ID tag 21 stored in storage section 23. Holder 22 of this embodiment is configured by assembling first holder member 22a and second holder member 22b, and holder 22 can be separated into first holder member 22a and second holder member 22b by vertically splitting storage section 23 in two (dividing it into a left side and a right side).

[0032] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 7, FIG. 10, FIG. 18, etc., the first holder member 22a includes a first storage portion 23a constituting a part of the storage portion 23 (the lower half of the paper in FIG. 18) and a first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a as the elastic pressing retaining portion 24. As shown in FIG. 18, the second holder member 22b includes a second storage portion 23b constituting a part of the storage portion 23 (the upper half of the paper in FIG. 18) and a second elastic pressing retaining portion 24b as the elastic pressing retaining portion 24. In this embodiment, the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b have the same shape (same size). For convenience, the member number (symbol) of the second holder member 22b will be described using the same number as the first holder member 22a, and as necessary, the second holder member 22b will be described as being distinguished from the first holder member 22a, such as the second storage portion 23b and the second elastic pressing retaining portion 24b. Furthermore, although the ID tag 21 is omitted in FIGS. 11, 17, and 18, the ID tag 21 is actually accommodated in the accommodation portion 23.

[0033] 7, 10, etc., the first storage section 23a and the second storage section 23b have an entrance opening 25 that allows the ID tag 21 to be inserted into the first storage section 23a and the second storage section 23b. The ID tag 21 is inserted (stored) in one of the first storage section 23a and the second storage section 23b, and as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the first storage section 23a and the second storage section 23b are faced to each other with the peripheral portions of the entrance opening 25 butted against each other, and the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are assembled to the left and right, so that the entire ID tag 21 is stored in the storage section 23.

[0034] More specifically, as shown in Figures 5, 7, etc., the first holder member 22a comprises storage side surface constituent portions 26 that respectively constitute a pair of opposing side surfaces of the first accommodating portion 23a, each of which includes a pair of side edge portions extending upward and downward of the entrance opening 25, a storage rear surface constituent portion 27 that connects the ends of the pair of storage side surface constituent portions 26 opposite the entrance opening 25 side and constitutes the rear surface of the first accommodating portion 23a that faces the entrance opening 25, a storage upper surface constituent portion 28 that connects the upper ends of the pair of storage side surface constituent portions 26 and constitutes the upper surface of the first accommodating portion 23a, and a storage lower surface constituent portion 29 that connects the lower ends of the pair of storage side surface constituent portions 26 and constitutes the lower surface of the first accommodating portion 23a.

[0035] In addition, the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a is provided in the left-hand side housing side forming portion 26 (hereinafter referred to as the "first housing side forming portion 26a") when the first holder member 22a is viewed from the entrance opening 25 side, among the pair of housing side forming portions 26. The upper end and the lower end of the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a are connected to the first housing side forming portion 26a, respectively, and the left and right side edges of the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a are separated from the first housing side forming portion 26a (a slit is formed between the first housing side forming portion 26a). The elastic pressing retaining portion 24 (the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a with respect to the first holder member 22a) of this embodiment is continuously curved from the upper end to the lower end so as to be convex toward the inside side of the housing portion 23 (the first housing portion 23a with respect to the first holder member 22a) (in this example, the entire elastic pressing retaining portion 24 is a curved portion).

[0036] 7, 10, etc., the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 (curved portion) has an inclined portion 31 inclined toward the outer periphery of the entrance opening 25 (to the left when the first holder member 22a is viewed from the entrance opening 25 side) at a portion on the entrance opening 25 side. When the ID tag 21 is to be stored in the storage portion 23 (first storage portion 23a), the first holder member 22a and the ID tag 21 are oriented in the same direction, and the ID tag 21 is inserted into the first storage portion 23a through the entrance opening 25. At this time, the ID tag 21 comes into contact with the inclined portion 31 of the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a, and is guided by the inclined portion 31, causing slight elastic deformation of the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a, and is inserted into the space (first storage portion 23a) between the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a and the storage side surface component 26 (hereinafter referred to as the "second storage side surface component 26b") where no elastic pressing retaining portion 24 is provided. The distance between the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a and the second accommodating side surface component 26b when the ID tag 21 is not accommodated in the first accommodating portion 23a is configured to be slightly narrower than the thickness of the ID tag 21, and when (half of) the ID tag 21 is accommodated in the first accommodating portion 23a, the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a (and the second accommodating side surface component 26b) and the ID tag 21 are pressed against each other in a direction intersecting the insertion direction in which the ID tag 21 is inserted into the first accommodating portion 23a.

[0037] 7, the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 (curved portion) includes an abutting portion 32 that can abut against a range including the center or its vicinity of a predetermined side surface of the ID tag 21 stored in the storage portion 23, and a general portion 33 that is the rest of the side surface, and the abutting portion 32 and the general portion 33 are arranged in a direction intersecting the insertion direction of the ID tag 21 into the storage portion 23. Furthermore, since the inclined portion 31 is configured to have a flat surface as a whole, the width (in the insertion direction) of the portion of the inclined portion 31 that corresponds to the abutting portion 32 is configured to be wider than the width (in the insertion direction) of the portion of the inclined portion 31 that corresponds to the general portion 33. The inclined portion 31 may be configured to have a curved surface as a whole or in part.

[0038] As described above, the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are the same, and as shown in Fig. 11, the first storage section 23a and the second storage section 23b are arranged facing each other while maintaining the same vertical orientation, so that the first elastic pressing and holding section 24a and the second elastic pressing and holding section 24b are arranged on the opposing inner surfaces of the storage section 23 (see Figs. 17 and 18). Therefore, the portion of the ID tag 21, half of which is stored in the first storage section 23a, that is not stored in the first storage section 23a is stored in the second storage section 23b, so that the entire ID tag 21 is stored in the storage section 23, and a force acting on the ID tag 21 due to the ID tag 21 being pressed against one of the first elastic pressing and holding section 24a and the second elastic pressing and holding section 24b acts on the other via the ID tag 21. In this manner, the ID tag 21 accommodated in the accommodation portion 23 is held by the first elastic pressing and holding portion 24a and the second elastic pressing and holding portion 24b.

[0039] 4, 7, 16, etc., the holder 22 includes a positioning mechanism 34 that prevents the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b from being displaced relative to each other in a direction (up-down direction, width direction of the inlet opening 25) intersecting the insertion direction of the holder 22 into the accommodation portions 23a, 23b when the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are assembled. The positioning mechanism 34 is composed of a plurality of protrusions 34a and notch-shaped portions 34b provided at a plurality of locations corresponding to the protrusions 34a, and when the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are assembled, the protrusions 34a of one of the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are disposed in contact with or in close proximity to the notch-shaped portion 34b of the other.

[0040] As shown in Figs. 6, 8, 9, etc., the first holder member 22a includes an attachment portion 35 that is engaged with the engagement portion 14 provided in the holder accommodation portion 13 of the pallet 1. More specifically, the first holder member 22a includes an upper constituent portion 36 that is connected to the upper surface side of the accommodation upper surface constituent portion 28, and a lower constituent portion 37 that is connected to the lower surface side of the accommodation lower surface constituent portion 29. The upper constituent portion 36 includes an upper wall portion 38 that constitutes the upper surface of the first holder member 22a, an upper connecting portion 39 that connects between the upper wall portion 38 and the accommodation upper surface constituent portion 28, and an elastic attachment portion 40 as the attachment portion 35. The elastic attachment portion 40 is provided at two locations on the upper surface of the accommodation upper surface constituent portion 28, corresponding to a side edge portion on the first accommodation side surface constituent portion 26a side on which the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 is provided, and a side edge portion on the accommodation inner surface constituent portion 27 side, and is configured to be elastically deformable toward the inward side of the upper constituent portion 36. In addition, the elastic mounting portion 40 comprises a base 41 which extends upward from a part of the side edge of the upper surface of the storage upper surface constituent portion 28 while inclining slightly outwardly of the upper surface constituent portion 36, and a protrusion 42 which is connected to the upper end of the base 41 on the inner surface of the upper surface constituent portion 36 and protrudes upward above the upper end of the base 41 and in a substantially vertical direction, and a locking surface portion 43 which is locked to the locking portion 14 by the upper end of the base 41 (the step between it and the protrusion 42) is formed.

[0041] The lower constituent part 37 includes a lower wall part 44 constituting the lower surface of the first holder member 22a, a lower connecting part 45 connecting between the lower wall part 44 and the accommodation lower surface constituent part 29, and an attachment part 35. The attachment part 35 of the lower constituent part 37 is basically configured not to be elastically deformed, and the lower connecting part 45 extends in a substantially U-shaped cross section along the side edge part of the lower surface of the accommodation lower surface constituent part 29, and is provided so as to protrude outward from the part on the second accommodation side surface constituent part 26b side and the part on the accommodation inner surface constituent part 27 side toward the outer side of the lower constituent part 37. In addition, when the first holder member 22a is viewed from the outer surface of the accommodation inner surface constituent part 27, the elastic attachment part 40 of the upper constituent part 36 is disposed to the left of the center of the width direction of the first holder member 22a, and the attachment part 35 of the lower constituent part 37 is disposed to the right of the center of the width direction of the first holder member 22a.

[0042] 4, 12, etc., by assembling the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b having the same shape as the first holder member 22a, the elastic mounting portions 40 of the upper constituent portion 36 and the mounting portions 35 of the lower constituent portion 37 are provided on the four side surfaces of the holder 22. Furthermore, when the holder 22 is to be accommodated in the holder accommodating portion 13, the holder 22 is inserted into the holder accommodating portion 13 with the lower constituent portion 37 side at the front, as shown in FIG. For example, when inserting holder 22 from above into holder accommodating portion 13, interference between mounting portion 35 of lower component 37 and mounting surface side engaging portion 14a of holder accommodating portion 13 is avoided, and by inserting holder 22 into holder accommodating portion 13 until base 41 of elastic mounting portion 40 of upper component 36 abuts against mounting surface side engaging portion 14a of holder accommodating portion 13 and then pushing holder 22 further downward, elastic mounting portion 40 (base 41) elastically deforms and engaging surface portion 43 of elastic mounting portion 40 is positioned below mounting surface side engaging portion 14a. By inserting the holder 22 into the holder accommodating portion 13 to this state, as shown in Figures 16, 17, etc., the elastic mounting portion 40 (locking surface portion 43) of the upper component 36 and the mounting portion 14a on the mounting surface side are engaged, and the mounting portion 35 of the lower component 37 and the mounting portion 14b on the contact surface side are engaged, so that the holder 22 is attached to the holder accommodating portion 13.

[0043] When removing the holder 22 attached to the holder accommodating section 13, the protruding section 42 of the elastic mounting section 40 is pressed inwardly of the upper constituent section 36 using a tool or the like to release the engagement between the elastic mounting section 40 and the mounting surface side engagement section 14a, and the holder 22 is removed above the pallet 1 (by, for example, pushing the lower wall section 44 of the lower constituent section 37 into the holder accommodating section 13). It is also possible to insert the holder 22 into the holder accommodating section 13 from below. Furthermore, the protruding end of each engagement section 14 is provided with a surface extending in a substantially vertical direction, and the outer surface of the protruding section 42 of the elastic mounting section 40 is configured to substantially abut against the engagement section 14 when the holder 22 is attached to the holder accommodating section 13. In addition, in this embodiment, the entire ID tag 21 accommodated in the accommodating section 23 is covered by the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b, but the ID tag 21 may be configured so that a portion of it is visible (its presence can be confirmed) from outside the holder 22 (for example, the ID tag 21 accommodated in the accommodating section 23 may be configured so that an area including the center of a specific side of the ID tag 21 is exposed (so that the specific information written in that area can be viewed), and the target portions of the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are spaced apart from each other).

[0044] As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, the ID tag 21 accommodated in the accommodation section 23 (the first accommodation section 23a and the second accommodation section 23b) can be held by the elastic pressing and holding section 24 (the first elastic pressing and holding section 24a and the second elastic pressing and holding section 24b). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ID tag 21 from breaking down or generating abnormal noise due to the relative displacement of the ID tag 21 with respect to the holder 22 in the accommodation section 23 (the ID tag 21 hitting the inner surface of the accommodation section 23 hard, etc.). Furthermore, since the elastic pressing and holding section 24 has elasticity, it is possible to relatively increase the tolerance range of the holder 22 and the ID tag 21, and it is possible to prevent the ID tag 21 and the holder 22 (the elastic pressing and holding section 24) from being damaged when the ID tag 21 is attached to or detached from the holder 22. Further, the elastic pressing retaining portion 24 includes a first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a and a second elastic pressing retaining portion 24b, and the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a and the second elastic pressing retaining portion 24b are configured to urge (sandwich) the ID tag 21 in a direction in which they are pressed against each other. Therefore, even if the urging force of each of the elastic pressing retaining portions 24 is not made so strong (and thus, even if each of the elastic pressing retaining portions 24 is not made large), it is possible to ensure a sufficient holding force for the ID tag 21 accommodated in the accommodation portion 23. As a result, it is possible to more reliably hold the ID tag 21 accommodated in the accommodation portion 23 while suppressing an increase in size of the holder 22 and a decrease in ease of inserting the ID tag 21 into the accommodation portion 23.

[0045] Moreover, the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 is curved (curved) so as to be convex toward the inside of the storage portion 23. Furthermore, the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 is capable of being pressed against the ID tag 21 in a direction intersecting the insertion direction of the ID tag 21 into the storage portion 23, and the ID tag 21 is held by the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 at the stage when the ID tag 21 is inserted into the storage portion 23. Therefore, in the process of storing the ID tag 21 in the holder 22 and attaching the holder 22 to the pallet 1, it is possible to prevent the ID tag 21 from falling off the holder 22, and as a result, it is possible to improve the workability of attaching the ID tag 21 to the holder 22.

[0046] In addition, the elastic pressing retaining portion 24 (curved portion), which can be pressed against the ID tag 21 in a direction intersecting the insertion direction of the ID tag 21 into the accommodating portion 23, has an inclined portion 31 provided in the portion on the entrance opening 25 side, thereby preventing the elastic pressing retaining portion 24 (the side edge portion on the entrance opening 25 side of the curved portion protruding inward into the accommodating portion 23) from interfering with the ID tag 21 while it is being inserted into the accommodating portion 23.

[0047] Moreover, the elastic pressing and holding part 24 has an abutting part 32 that can abut against the center of a predetermined side surface of the ID tag 21 held in the storage part 23 or a range including the vicinity thereof. Therefore, the ID tag 21 held in the storage part 23 can be held more balanced and effectively. Furthermore, the width of the portion of the inclined part 31 of the elastic pressing and holding part 24 that corresponds to the abutting part 32 (in the direction of insertion of the ID tag 21 into the storage part 23) is configured to be wider than the width of the portion of the inclined part 31 that corresponds to the general part 33 (in the direction of insertion of the ID tag 21 into the storage part 23). This allows the ID tag 21 to be reliably and relatively smoothly guided by the inclined part 31 to the abutting part 32 of the elastic pressing and holding part 24 when the ID tag 21 is inserted into the storage part 23. Therefore, the ID tag 21 can be inserted into the storage part 23 more smoothly and the ID tag 21 held in the storage part 23 can be further stabilized. Furthermore, by ensuring the width of the portion of the inclined portion 31 that corresponds to the contact portion 32, the contact portion 32 can be reinforced.

[0048] Moreover, the holder 22 is formed by assembling a first holder member 22a and a second holder member 22b, the first holder member 22a includes a first storage portion 23a constituting a part of the storage portion 23, and a first elastic pressing and holding portion 24a, and the second holder member 22b includes a second storage portion 23b constituting a part of the storage portion 23, and a second elastic pressing and holding portion 24b. Therefore, before the holder members 22a and 22b are assembled together, the entrance opening 25 through which the ID tag 21 can be inserted into the storage portion 23 (the first storage portion 23a and the second storage portion 23b) can be secured relatively wide, and after the holder members 22a and 22b are assembled together, the entrance opening 25 can be closed. Therefore, the ID tag 21 can be accommodated in and removed from the holder 22 relatively easily, and when the holder members 22a, 22b are assembled together, the ID tag 21 can be more reliably prevented from falling off the holder 22. Also, the mold structure for forming the holder 22 (holder members 22a, 22b) can be prevented from becoming complicated, and mold costs can be reduced.

[0049] Furthermore, by assembling the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b, the first elastic pressing retaining portion 24a and the second elastic pressing retaining portion 24b are arranged on the opposing inner surfaces (the pair of opposing storage side surface constituent portions 26) of the storage portion 23. In contrast, the elastic pressing retaining portion 24 is not provided on the storage inner surface constituent portion 27 of each of the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b. In this regard, the elastic mounting portion 40 is also provided on the side edge portion on the storage inner surface constituent portion 27 side of the upper surface of the storage upper surface constituent portion 28. In this way, by arranging the elastic mounting portion 40 and the elastic pressing retaining portion 24 so that the directions of their respective elastic deformations are dispersed as much as possible, it is possible to increase the directions in which the force applied to the ID tag 21 due to vibration of the pallet 1 or the like can be absorbed and alleviated by the elastic pressing retaining portion 24 and the elastic mounting portion 40 while minimizing the number of elastic pressing retaining portions 24. Therefore, by minimizing the number of elastic pressing retaining portions 24, it is possible to ensure the capacity of the accommodation portion 23 (preventing the holder 22 from becoming larger) and to improve the ease of inserting the ID tag 21 into the accommodation portion 23, while protecting the ID tag 21 attached to the pallet 1 and more reliably preventing failure of the ID tag 21. Furthermore, for example, compared to a case in which the locking portion 14 of the holder accommodation portion 13, rather than the mounting portion 35, is used as the elastic attachment portion, it is possible to form the elastic attachment portion 40 relatively easily and prevent the mold structure of the pallet 1 from becoming complicated.

[0050] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented as follows: Of course, other applications and modifications not exemplified below are also possible.

[0051] (a) In the above embodiment, the holder 22 is composed of the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b, but the entire holder may be integrally formed, or the holder may be constructed by assembling three or more holder members. For example, when the entire holder is integrally formed, an entrance opening 25 through which the ID tag 21 can be inserted may be provided on one side of the storage section 23 (e.g., a portion corresponding to the storage inner surface forming portion 27 of the first holder member 22a), and the elastic pressing and holding section 24 may be provided with an inclined portion 31 on the entrance opening 25 side, so that by storing the ID tag 21 in the storage section 23, the ID tag 21 is pressed against the elastic pressing and holding section 24 (and the inner surface of the storage section 23) to suppress displacement on the entrance opening 25 side. Also, for example, instead of a configuration in which the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b are assembled on the left and right, the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b may be assembled on the top and bottom (the storage section 23 is divided into upper and lower parts). In addition, the storage section may be configured to be composed of three or more holder members. Also, the configuration for maintaining the assembled state of the holder members 22a and 22b is not particularly limited, and a configuration for restricting the displacement of the holder members 22a and 22b in a direction away from each other may be provided.

[0052] (b) The number and arrangement of the elastic pressing retaining parts 24 in the above embodiment are not particularly limited, and for example, the number of elastic pressing retaining parts 24 provided on the holder 22 may be one in total, or three or more. Also, for example, a pair of elastic pressing retaining parts 24 may be provided so as to be arranged opposite to each other on the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b, respectively, or the elastic pressing retaining parts 24 may be provided on one of the housing side surface forming parts 26 (for example, the first housing side surface forming part 26a) and the housing inner surface forming part 27 on each of the first holder member 22a and the second holder member 22b. Furthermore, for example, when the holder is cut horizontally and viewed, three elastic pressing retaining parts 24 may be provided at equal positions shifted by 120 degrees from the center of the holder, and may be configured to be able to hold a substantially cylindrical ID tag. In addition, the position of the first elastic pressing and holding portion 24a and the position of the second elastic pressing and holding portion 24b may be shifted in the height direction of the pallet 1.

[0053] Also, in the above embodiment, the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 is curved overall, but it may be partially curved. Furthermore, the curved portion of the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 may be in one place or in multiple places, but if it is in one place, it is desirable to configure it so that it can abut against the center of a predetermined side surface of the ID tag 21 or a portion nearby. In addition, only one of the upper end portion or the lower end portion of the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 may be configured to be connected to the housing side surface forming portion 26. It is also possible to configure the elastic pressing and holding portion 24 so that there is no curved portion (excluding the chamfered portion) in the elastic pressing and holding portion 24.

[0054] (c) The shape of the accommodating section 23 of the holder 22, the outer shape of the holder 22, the shape of the holder accommodating section 13, and the shape of the ID tag 21 are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the ID tag 21 may be a relatively thin shape such as a card type, or may be a shape having a curved outer surface, and the accommodating section 23 of the holder 22 is formed to match the shape of the ID tag 21. Furthermore, the position at which the mounting section 35 is formed is not particularly limited either. For example, in relation to the height of the pallet and the vertical width of the ID tag 21, the lower constituent section 37 may be omitted, and the lower mounting section 35 of the holder 22 may be provided so as to protrude outward from the outer surfaces of the accommodating side surface constituent section 26 and the accommodating inner surface constituent section 27 (at a position spaced apart from the elastic pressing and holding section 24 in each of the holder members 22a and 22b). However, it is preferable that the elastic mounting portion 40 is provided at a position different from the portion constituting the inner surface of the housing portion 23 in order to avoid contact with the ID tag 21 housed in the housing portion 23 (or increase in size of the holder 22) and to avoid interlocking with the elastic pressing and holding portion 24. By disposing the elastic mounting portion 40 closer to the opening side of the holder housing portion 13 than the housing portion 23 and closer to the center of the height direction of the holder housing portion 13 than the upper wall portion 38, unintended contact with the elastic mounting portion 40 is prevented when the holder 22 is in the mounted state, and the workability of removing the holder 22 using an appropriate tool is improved. In the above embodiment, the mounting portion 35 of the upper constituent portion 36 of the holder 22 is configured as the elastic mounting portion 40, but instead of or in addition to such a configuration, the placement side locking portion 14a may be configured to be elastically deformable in the inward and outward directions of the holder housing portion 13. For example, a roughly U-shaped notch may be formed in the target portion of the wall defining the holder accommodating portion 13, and a leaf spring portion formed inside the notch may be provided at the tip thereof with a locking claw portion, which may serve as the mounting side locking portion 14a (elastic mounting portion).

[0055] (d) In the above embodiment, the pallet 1 is made of polypropylene, but it may be made of other (synthetic) resin materials such as polyethylene, PET, polyamide, etc. In addition, in the above embodiment, the pallet 1 is a four-way insertion type pallet in which forks can be inserted from four side surfaces that form the outer circumferential surface of the pallet 1, but it is also possible to apply it to a two-way insertion type pallet in which forks can be inserted from two side surfaces. Furthermore, for example, it may be applied to a pallet that is integrally formed as a whole. In addition, for example, in the lower deck part 6, the fork insertion part 7 may be opened downward, and a lower opening may be provided that allows the casters of the hand lift to be grounded, or the lower deck part 6 may be omitted. Although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiment, the placement surface 8 and the ground surface 9 may be configured so that no holes are formed other than the holder accommodating part 13, or may be configured so that holes are appropriately formed other than the holder accommodating part 13 (for example, generally in a roughly lattice shape).

[0056] In the above embodiment, the carrier is embodied in the pallet 1, but it can also be applied to, for example, a container or a cart used to transport goods. Furthermore, the ID tag 21 is not limited to an active ID tag, and may be a passive or semi-active ID tag. In addition, the arrangement of the ID tag 21 (holder housing portion 13) is not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate (it may be installed in a predetermined corner post portion 2 or intermediate post portion 3). In addition to the ID tag 21, it is also possible to adopt, as the wireless information means, a device (tag) capable of wireless communication with a corresponding reader / writer (which may not have a writer function) using infrared rays or radio waves of a frequency different from that used by the ID tag. Furthermore, the wireless information means may be configured to have a GPS function. [Explanation of symbols]
