Description

[Technical field]

[0001] One aspect of the present invention relates to a storage box. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, some display fixtures used as display shelves for displaying products in stores and the like have storage boxes (also called stockers) arranged in the lower space, which is a dead space from the bottom shelf to the floor, to store products. Some of these storage boxes are provided with a stopper that restricts the range of movement of the storage box to prevent the storage box from going too far into the lower space of the fixture. Patent Document 1 discloses a display shelf stocker (storage box) equipped with a stopper. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-125960 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the stocker of Patent Document 1 mentioned above, a stopper is attached to the rear panel of the stocker so as to protrude laterally. When the stocker is moved in or out, this stopper abuts against the opposing surfaces of the front and rear vertical rods that make up the side frame, thereby regulating the range of forward and backward movement.

[0005] However, in the stocker of Patent Document 1, when the stocker is attached to a fixture (display shelf) in which the front and rear vertical rods are provided in different positions or which does not have front and rear vertical rods, the stopper does not function, so it can only be applied to specific fixtures. Even in fixtures that do not have such stockers, there is a need to place inventory below the displayed products, and there is a demand for a stocker that can be generally applied to various fixtures. In other words, there is a demand for a stocker that can be applied to multiple types of fixtures (display shelves) with different configurations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides the following means to solve the above problems.

[0007] A storage box according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: A storage box installed under a fixture, A rectangular parallelepiped main body having an open top, bottom and side surfaces; A support portion that supports the main body portion so as to be movable in a front-rear direction; A first abutment portion arranged to protrude outward in the width direction from the front side surface; A second abutment portion is provided on the rear side surface so as to fit within the width of the storage box, The rearward movement is restricted by one of the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion abutting against the fixture. It is a storage box.

[0008] According to the storage box as described above, the first abutment portion or the second abutment portion, which are the multiple abutting portions, abut against the abutted portion of the fixture, and the storage box can be prevented from moving further inward than necessary. This makes it possible to provide a storage box that can be applied to multiple types of fixtures with different configurations. In addition, since the necessary movement restriction can be performed with the minimum necessary configuration without installing a special movement restriction mechanism, the movement restriction mechanism does not take up space, and the storage box can have sufficient internal space.

[0009] In the storage box, preferably, Further, a handle is provided on the upper portion of the front side over the entire width thereof, allowing a user to insert his / her fingers to move the storage box; The first abutment portion is formed by the handhold protruding to the left and right.

[0010] According to the above-mentioned storage box, the storage box can be easily pulled out from the fixture.

[0011] In the storage box, preferably, A lid support portion capable of supporting a lid is formed below and inside the upper end of the side surface.

[0012] According to the storage box as described above, a flat lid supported by the lid support portion can be attached, so that the contents stored in the storage box can be protected from dust.

[0013] In the storage box, preferably, The main body further includes a first pair of projections and a second pair of projections provided on an inner side of the main body so as to protrude from the bottom surface and the side surface to connect the bottom surface and the side surface, the first pair of projections and the second pair of projections forming a groove-shaped first groove portion and a groove-shaped second groove portion formed in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the bottom surface and the side surface, The first groove and the second groove are provided at positions opposite to each other and are capable of sandwiching a plate-shaped partition member that partitions the storage space inside the main body.

[0014] According to the storage box as described above, the storage space inside the main body can be divided and easily organized.

[0015] In the storage box, preferably, Two or more of the support portions are arranged on each of the outer sides of the left and right side surfaces of the main body portion, Each of the side surfaces has a recess that is recessed inwardly so as to accommodate two or more of the support parts.

[0016] According to the storage box as described above, since the support portion is not exposed to the storage space, it is possible to prevent the stored contents from coming into contact with the support portion and becoming soiled.

[0017] In the storage box, preferably, A rib is formed on the lower surface of the bottom surface, protruding downward and extending in the front-rear direction, with the lower end surface being chamfered.

[0018] According to the storage box as described above, the rigidity of the storage box is ensured by the configuration having ribs, while sharp corners do not come into contact with the floor surface opposite the ribs when in use, thereby preventing scratches on the floor surface.

[0019] In the storage box, preferably, The distance between the rear surface of the first abutment portion and the rear surface of the second abutment portion in the front-rear direction is equal to or greater than 333 mm and equal to or less than 344 mm.

[0020] The storage box as described above can be configured to be applicable to various fixtures manufactured and sold by various manufacturers.

[0021] In the storage box, preferably, The support portion abuts against an installation surface on which the fixture is installed to support the main body portion.

[0022] According to the storage box as described above, the storage box can be arranged independently of the fixtures, and therefore, the configuration can accommodate fixtures of various sizes. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiment described below is merely an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention. In each drawing, the same components are given the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted.

[0025] For the sake of convenience, this specification will be described assuming that the height, width, and depth directions are perpendicular to one another, with the fixture 100 installed on a flat surface such as a floor perpendicular to the vertical direction and the storage box 1 attached to this fixture 100. The height direction is sometimes referred to as the "up-down direction." The depth direction is the direction in which the storage box 1 moves, and is sometimes referred to as the "front-back direction" or "movement direction." The width direction is sometimes referred to as the "left-right direction."

[0026] [Overall configuration of storage box 1] The storage box 1 of this embodiment is a storage box that is installed in the lower part of a fixture 100 used as a display shelf for displaying products in a store or the like, that is, in the space from under the bottom shelf to the floor, and is also called a stocker. If the storage box 1 is not placed, this space becomes dead space. The storage box 1 stores the inventory of the displayed products, and it is preferable that the inventory of the displayed products is stored in the immediate vicinity of the storage box 1, for example.

[0027] Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are perspective views showing a fixture 100 and a storage box 1 of this embodiment, Fig. 1 shows a state in which the entire storage box 1 is pulled out in front of the fixture 100, and Fig. 2 shows a state in which the storage box 1 is stored under the fixture 100. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the storage box 1.

[0028] [Fixtures 100] The fixture 100 described in this embodiment, including that shown in Figures 1 and 2, is a display shelf having multiple shelves for displaying products. As described later, the storage box 1 of this embodiment is applicable to multiple fixtures 100 with different configurations, and the fixture 100 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is one example of the configuration.

[0029] The fixture 100 in Figures 1 and 2 has abutted parts 110a and 110b against which the first abutting parts 18a and 18b of the storage box 1 abut (contact), respectively. The abutted parts 110a and 110b in Figures 1 and 2 are provided on the front surfaces of legs arranged on the bottom surface of the fixture 100 and extending in the front-rear direction, which is the direction in which the storage box 1 moves, but are not limited to this configuration. The abutted parts 110a and 110b of the fixture 100 may be, for example, the front surfaces of supports that support the shelves of the fixture 100, or may be other parts.

[0030] [Storage Box 1] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the storage box 1 includes a bottom surface 11, side surfaces 12, 13, 14a and 14b, a support portion 15, a recess 16, a handle 17, first abutting portions 18a and 18b, a second abutting portion 19, a first projection pair 20, and a lid support portion 22. As shown in Figs. 5 to 9 described later, a second projection pair 21 is formed at a position facing the first projection pair 20. The first projection pair 20 and the second projection pair 21 form a first groove portion 20c and a second groove portion 21c, respectively. The bottom surface 11 and the side surfaces 12, 13, 14a and 14b form a box-shaped main body portion 10 formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open upper side.

[0031] [Bottom 11] The bottom surface 11 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate. Side surfaces 12, 13, 14a, and 14b extend upward from the ends of the four sides of the bottom surface 11. Ribs 23 and 24, which will be described later, are formed on the lower surface (also called the back side) of the bottom surface 11. In an installed state in which the storage box 1 is attached to the fixture 100, the bottom surface 11 is approximately parallel to the floor surface on which the fixture 100 is placed.

[0032] [Side 12, 13, 14a, 14b] The side surfaces 12, 13, 14a, and 14b extend upward like a wall from the ends provided on the four sides of the bottom surface 11. The side surface 12 is disposed in the front, the side surface 13 is disposed in the rear, and the side surfaces 14a and 14b are provided on the left and right sides in the width direction, respectively. Therefore, the side surface 12 may be rephrased as the front surface, the side surface 13 as the rear surface, and the side surfaces 14a and 14b as the right side surface and the left side surface, respectively. The side surfaces 12 and 13 are disposed in opposing positions, and the side surfaces 14a and 14b are disposed in opposing positions.

[0033] [Support part 15] Two support parts 15 are arranged on the outside of the left side surface 14a and two on the outside of the right side surface 14b when viewed from the front side. The support parts 15 contact the floor surface on which the fixture 100 is installed, and support the main body part 10 so that it can move in the front-rear direction relative to the floor surface. The four support parts 15 in total are of the same shape and are cylindrical like wheels. The cylindrical support parts 15 have a rotation axis in the center, and this rotation axis is connected to the side surface 14a or 14b. When the main body part 10 moves in the front-rear direction, the cylindrical support parts 15 rotate around this rotation axis, thereby realizing smooth movement.

[0034] The support portion 15 is preferably disposed so as not to protrude outward from an imaginary plane that defines the outer surface of the side surfaces 14a and 14b other than the portion where the recess 16 is formed.

[0035] The support portion 15 is not limited to such a configuration, and may be replaced with, for example, four wheel-shaped members provided on the underside of the bottom surface 11, or on the outer or underside of the front side surface 12 and the rear side surface 13, or may be replaced with other configurations. The support portion 15 does not necessarily have to be wheel-shaped, but is preferably wheel-shaped to reduce friction and enable movement. In either case, the support portion 15 supports the main body portion 10 so that it can move. Two or more support portions 15 may be arranged on the outer sides of the left and right side surfaces 14a and 14b.

[0036] [Recess 16] At the positions where the support parts 15 of the side surface 14a and the side surface 14b are arranged, recesses 16 are formed recessed inward to accommodate the support parts 15 and prevent them from protruding significantly outward from the main body 10. That is, the recesses 16 are recessed in the width direction, and the side surface 14a and the side surface 14b each have two recesses 16. The recesses 16 are provided at the positions where the four support parts 15 are arranged. When viewed from the side, the upper side of the recess 16 is formed in an arc shape along the outer periphery of the support parts 15, and the lower side is formed to extend linearly. The outer surface of the recess 16 is connected to the rotation shaft of the support parts 15.

[0037] In addition, when the support portion 15 has a configuration different from that of the embodiment as described above, it is preferable to form a recess 16 at the position where the support portion 15 is arranged in order to prevent the support portion 15 from significantly protruding outward from the main body portion 10. The recess 16 is not an essential configuration, but it is preferable to have a configuration having the recess 16 in order to prevent the support portion 15 from protruding outward from the main body portion 10. Adjacent recesses 16 may be formed to be connected to each other, in which case a plurality of support portions 15 are housed in one recess 16.

[0038] [Clue 17] On the front side of the main body 10, a handhold 17 is formed at the top of the front side 12 across the entire width of the side 12, allowing a user to insert their fingers to move the storage box 1.

[0039] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the storage box 1 in the front-rear and up-down directions. As shown in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 5, the handle 17 is formed so as to extend from the upper end of the front side surface 12 of the main body 10 so as to protrude forward and then extend downward, so that the user's fingers can be inserted from below into the space 17a formed by the side surface 12 and the handle 17.

[0040] Note that the grab bar 17 is not limited to this configuration, and may be replaced with another configuration that allows a user to insert a finger to move the storage box 1. For example, the grab bar 17 may be a knob- or hook-shaped member provided on the side surface 12 on the front side. However, since the storage box 1 is disposed at the bottom of the fixture 100 and the grab bar 17 is in a position that is difficult to see, it is effective from the standpoint of ease of operation to have the grab bar 17 configured as in this embodiment.

[0041] By configuring the storage box 1 to have such a handle 17, it becomes easier to pull the storage box 1 out from the fixture 100 when it is stored therein.

[0042] [First abutting section 18a, 18b] The first abutment portions 18a and 18b are provided at left and right positions in the width direction when viewed from the front, respectively, and are disposed so as to protrude from the front side surface 12 in the width direction.

[0043] Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the periphery of the first abutment portion 18b of the storage box 1. As shown in Fig. 4, the first abutment portion 18b is a portion of the handhold 17 extending in the width direction that protrudes to the right from the right end of the width direction of the side surface 12 when viewed from the front. Similarly, the first abutment portion 18a is a portion of the handhold 17 extending in the width direction that protrudes to the left from the left end of the width direction of the side surface 12 when viewed from the front. In other words, the first abutment portions 18a and 18b are disposed protruding outward in the width direction from the front side surface 12, and can be said to be formed by the handholds 17 that protrude to the left and right.

[0044] 4, when the rear surface of first abutment portion 18b abuts against and comes into contact with the front surface of abutted portion 110b of fixture 100, further movement of storage box 1 toward the rear, i.e., toward the back, is restricted. Similarly, when the rear surface of first abutment portion 18a abuts against and comes into contact with the front surface of abutted portion 110a of fixture 100, further movement of storage box 1 toward the rear, i.e., toward the back, is restricted. In other words, first abutment portions 18a and 18b and abutted portions 110a and 110b function as a movement restriction mechanism that restricts movement of storage box 1.

[0045] However, while the fixture 100 of this embodiment has a configuration including abutted parts 110a and 110b that abut against the first abutting parts 18a and 18b, there are fixtures 100 that do not have abutted parts 110a and 110b. In such fixtures 100, the rearward movement of the storage box 1 cannot be restricted by the abutment of the first abutting parts 18a and 18b against the abutted parts 110a and 110b, so it is necessary to restrict the rearward movement of the storage box 1 by a different configuration.

[0046] [Second abutment part 19] 1 and 3, the second abutment portion 19 is disposed on the upper portion of the rear side surface 13 of the storage box 1 so as to extend across the entire width of the side surface 13. The rear surface of the second abutment portion 19 is formed so as to be horizontal in the width direction and the vertical direction. However, the rear surface of the second abutment portion 19 may be inclined to some extent in the vertical direction.

[0047] When the fixture 100 is configured as described above without the abutted portions 110a and 110b, when the rear surface of the second abutment portion 19 abuts against and comes into contact with the front surface of the abutted portion 120 of the fixture 100, the storage box 1 is restricted from moving further rearward, i.e., toward the back.

[0048] Since the second abutment portion 19 is a configuration for restricting rearward movement of the storage box 1, it does not necessarily have to be disposed so as to extend across the entire width of the side surface 13, and may be formed on a portion of the width direction of the side surface 13. However, the second abutment portion 19 is preferably disposed so as to fit within the width of the storage box 1 in order to provide a configuration necessary and sufficient for performing its function.

[0049] In other words, storage box 1 is (1) The first abutting portions 18a and 18b of the storage box 1 abut against the abutted portions 110a and 110b of the fixture 100, respectively, or (2) When the second abutting portion 19 of the storage box 1 abuts against the abutted portion 120 of the fixture 100, further rearward movement is restricted.

[0050] [First projection pair 20, second projection pair 21, first groove portion 20c, second groove portion 21c] The storage box 1 has a first groove 20c and a second groove 21c formed to sandwich a plate-shaped partition member (not shown) that divides the storage space formed inside the main body 10. The first groove 20c and the second groove 21c are formed to extend parallel to each other in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. The first groove 20c and the second groove 21c are provided at positions facing each other. This allows the plate-shaped partition member that divides the storage space formed inside the main body 10 to be arranged parallel to each other in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.

[0051] The first groove 20c is formed by a first projection pair 20 consisting of two first projection pieces 20a and 20b protruding from the bottom surface 11 and the side surface 13 so as to connect the bottom surface 11 and the side surface 13 located at the rear inside the main body 10. The second groove 21c is formed by a second projection pair 21 consisting of two second projection pieces 21a and 21b protruding from the bottom surface 11 and the side surface 12 so as to connect the bottom surface 11 and the side surface 12 located at the front inside the main body 10, similar to the first groove 20c.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first groove portion 20c and the second groove portion 21c are formed parallel to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, thereby the partition member is arranged parallel to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. However, the first groove portion 20c and the second groove portion 21c may be formed parallel to the width direction and the up-down direction, and the partition member may be arranged parallel to the width direction and the up-down direction.

[0053] [Lid support part 22] A lid support portion 22 is formed around the upper inner periphery (four sides) of the main body portion 10, which is a step capable of supporting a lid arranged to cover the upper surface of the main body portion 10. The shape of the lid is, for example, plate-like. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, the lid support portion 22 is formed of a surface parallel to the bottom surface 11 that extends outward, i.e., forward, from the upper end of the side surface 12. From the front end of the lid support portion 22, it further extends upward by a length approximately equal to the plate thickness of the lid. Similarly, the lid support portion 22 is formed of a surface parallel to the bottom surface 11 that extends outward from the upper ends of the side surfaces 13, 14a, and 14b. From the outer end of the lid support portion 22, it further extends upward by a length approximately equal to the plate thickness of the lid.

[0054] The lid support portion 22 may be formed on two or more opposing sides of the upper part of the inside of the main body portion 10, instead of on all four sides. Even in such a configuration, the lid can be supported by the lid support portion 22. However, in order to stably support the lid on its four sides, a configuration in which the lid support portion 22 is formed on all four sides of the periphery of the upper part of the inside of the main body portion 10 as in this embodiment is preferable. Also, a configuration in which the lid support portion 22 is formed on three sides of the upper part of the inside of the main body portion 10 may be used. Also, the lid support portion 22 may not be formed by the step as described above, but may be formed by a protrusion protruding inwardly below the upper ends of the side surfaces 12, 13, 14a, and 14b. In this case, the protrusion forming the lid support portion 22 may be formed by a plurality of rib-shaped protrusions.

[0055] [Ribs 23, 24] Fig. 10 is a bottom view of the storage box 1. As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 10, the lower surface of the bottom surface 11, i.e., the outer surface, is provided with ribs 23 and 24 that protrude downward.

[0056] A plurality of ribs 23, for example five ribs, are formed at equal intervals so as to extend in the front-rear direction. The lower end face 23a of the rib 23 is chamfered to have rounded corners. As shown in Fig. 5, an inclined portion 23b is formed at the end of the front-rear direction of the rib 23, which is inclined so that the height decreases toward the outside.

[0057] The ribs 24 are formed in a lattice pattern with some extending in the front-rear direction and others extending in the width direction being provided at equal intervals. The ribs 24 are formed lower than the ribs 23. The numbers of the ribs 23 and 24 may be determined arbitrarily.

[0058] The storage box 1 has the ribs 23 and 24, which enhance the rigidity of the main body 10. Furthermore, the storage box 1 has the ribs 23 as described above, which prevents sharp corners from coming into contact with the floor surface opposite the ribs 23 during use, thereby preventing scratches on the floor surface.

[0059] [Example of application] The storage box 1 of this embodiment is applicable to a plurality of fixtures with different configurations. Here, an example will be described in which the storage box 1 is applied to four types of fixtures 100A to 100D with different configurations manufactured and sold by different manufacturers.

[0060] The fixture 100A shown in Fig. 6 has the same configuration as the fixture 100 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, and the front surface of the leg extending in the front-rear direction of the storage box 1, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the fixture 100A, becomes the abutted portion 110a. The first abutting portion 18a of the storage box 1 abuts against this abutted portion 110a, and the first abutting portion 18b abuts against the abutted portion 110b provided on the opposite side in the width direction (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), so that the storage box 1 is restricted from moving further to the rear.

[0061] 7, the front surface of the support pillar provided at the front becomes the abutted portion 110a. The first abutting portion 18a of the storage box 1 abuts against this abutted portion 110a, and the first abutting portion 18b abuts against an abutted portion (not shown) provided on the opposite side in the width direction, thereby restricting the storage box 1 from moving further toward the rear.

[0062] 8 has a wall portion at its rear that serves as the abutted portion 120. The rear surface of the second abutting portion 19 abuts against the front surface of the abutted portion 120, restricting the storage box 1 from moving any further toward the rear.

[0063] 9 has a movement restricting member at its rear which serves as abutted portion 120. When the rear surface of second abutting portion 19 abuts against the front surface of abutted portion 120, storage box 1 is restricted from moving any further toward the rear.

[0064] The four types of fixtures 100A to 100D described here are manufactured and sold by different manufacturers, but in any case, the storage box 1 is restricted from moving more deeply than necessary.

[0065] According to the inventor's research, it was found that the distance in the front-rear direction between the rear surface of the first abutment portions 18a and 18b and the rear surface of the second abutment portion 19 is preferably set to 333 mm or more and 344 mm or less. With such a configuration, it is possible to apply the storage box 1 to fixtures manufactured and sold by many manufacturers so that the storage box 1 does not go too far into the back, and does not protrude forward from the fixture 100 when stored.

[0066] [Variations] The storage box of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the storage box 1 of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. Modifications are shown below, but the modifications are not limited to these.

[0067] Although the storage box 1 in the embodiment has two abutment parts, that is, the first abutment parts 18a and 18b and the second abutment part 19, it may have three or more abutment parts. This allows the number of fixtures 100 to which the storage box 1 can be applied to be increased.

[0068] [Summary of the embodiment and modifications] As described above, the storage box 1 of the present embodiment and the modified example is a storage box 1 that is installed under the fixture 100. The storage box 1 includes a main body 10, a support 15, first abutments 18a and 18b, and a second abutment 19. The main body 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped with an open top, a bottom 11, and side surfaces 12, 13, 14a, and 14b. The support 15 supports the main body 10 so that it can move in the front-rear direction. The first abutments 18a and 18b are disposed so as to protrude outward in the width direction from the front side surface 12. The second abutment 19 is disposed on the rear side surface 13 so as to fit within the width of the storage box 1. When one of the first abutments 18a and 18b and the second abutment 19 abuts against the fixture 100, the rearward movement of the storage box 1 in the front-rear direction is restricted.

[0069] In a storage box 1 configured in this manner, the first abutting portions 18a and 18b or the second abutting portion 19 abut against the abutted portions 110a and 110b or the abutted portion 120 of the fixture 100, preventing the storage box 1 from moving further inward than necessary. This makes it possible to provide a storage box 1 that can be applied to a plurality of types of fixtures with different configurations. Also, since the necessary movement restriction can be achieved with the minimum necessary configuration without the need to attach a special movement restriction mechanism, no space is taken up by the movement restriction mechanism, and the storage box 1 can have sufficient internal space.

[0070] The storage box 1 preferably further includes a handle 17 arranged across the entire width of the upper portion of the front side surface 12, through which a user can insert his or her fingers to move the storage box 1. The first abutment portions 18a and 18b are formed by the handle 17 protruding to the left and right.

[0071] According to the storage box 1 configured in this manner, the storage box 1 can be easily pulled out from the fixture 100.

[0072] In the storage box 1, preferably, a lid support portion 22 capable of supporting a lid is formed below and inside the upper ends of the side surfaces 12, 13, 14a, and 14b of the main body portion 10.

[0073] According to the storage box 1 configured in this manner, a flat lid supported by the lid support portion 22 can be attached, and the contents stored in the storage box 1 can be protected from dust.

[0074] The storage box 1 preferably further includes a first pair of projections 20 and a second pair of projections 21 provided on the inside of the main body 10 so as to protrude from the bottom face 11 and the side face 12, 13, 14a or 14b to connect the bottom face 11 and the side face 12, 13, 14a or 14b, and the first pair of projections 20 and the second pair of projections 21 respectively form groove-shaped first groove portion 20c and second groove portion 21c formed in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the bottom face 11 and the side face 12, 13, 14a or 14b. The first groove portion 20c and the second groove portion 21c are provided at positions facing each other and are capable of sandwiching a plate-shaped partition member that partitions the storage space inside the main body 10.

[0075] According to the storage box 1 having such a configuration, the storage space inside the main body 10 can be divided by the partition member, making it easy to organize the contents.

[0076] In the storage box 1, preferably, two or more support parts 15 are arranged on the outside of each of the left and right side surfaces 14a and 14b of the main body 10. Each of the side surfaces 14a and 14b has a recess 16 recessed inwardly so as to accommodate two or more support parts 15 therein.

[0077] According to the storage box 1 having such a configuration, since the support portion 15 is not exposed to the storage space, it is possible to prevent the stored contents from coming into contact with the support portion 15 and becoming soiled.

[0078] In the storage box 1, preferably, a rib 23 is formed on the lower surface of the bottom surface 11 so as to protrude downward and extend in the front-rear direction, with a lower end surface 23a being chamfered.

[0079] With a storage box 1 configured in this manner, the rigidity of the storage box 1 is ensured by having the ribs 23, while sharp corners do not come into contact with the floor surface opposite the ribs 23 during use, thereby preventing scratches on the floor surface.
