Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an article dispensing box. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, boxes that can hold and store a plurality of items and distribute them from an opening have been widely used. The box is, for example, fixed to a wall or the like so as not to move during distribution, and when an item is taken out from the opening on the bottom side, the items placed on the item fall due to gravity, so that the items can be taken out and used successively. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] However, since items such as daily necessities are used in various places depending on the purpose, it is convenient if the box containing them can be carried to any location and placed or hung. On the other hand, for example, when the box is used while placed on a desk or a table, it cannot be used if it has an opening on the bottom side, and therefore, even if an opening is simply provided on the side adjacent to the bottom, it is expected that there is no gap for fingers to enter and it is difficult to take out the items. Furthermore, if the opening is simply provided at a predetermined distance from the bottom when the box is used while placed or hung, it is understood that the items stored in the box will naturally be located at the bottom when the amount remaining is low, and it is difficult to take out the items from the opening located away from the bottom. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the structure of a box that can load and store multiple items, distribute them from the opening, and be carried around.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide an article distribution box that can load and store a plurality of articles and distribute them from an opening, and that is portable and allows the articles to be easily removed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A first form of an item distribution box according to the present invention is an item distribution box in which a plurality of sheet-like items stacked in the vertical direction can be distributed in sequence by removing the items from below through an opening, the item distribution box comprising an outer box having a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape with a top opening, the opening being provided on one of a pair of opposing side faces at a predetermined distance from the bottom, a pair of trays for carrying and containing the items, the pair of trays being inserted into the outer box through the top opening with their backs facing each other and contained within the outer box, and a bottom lifting platform for lifting the pair of trays from the bottom of the outer box at a position spaced the predetermined distance from the bottom of the outer box so that the lowest item in the vertical direction contained in the trays can be removed from the opening.

[0006] A second embodiment of the article distribution box according to the present invention is the same as the first embodiment, characterized in that semicircular cutouts are further provided above and below the center of the outlet.

[0007] A third form of the item distribution box of the present invention is described as the second form, further comprising a step portion on the lower edge of the tray in the height direction so as to create a space at the bottom of the tip of the lowest item in the height direction contained in the tray, and an inclined portion that slopes upward in the height direction from the rear width side of the outer box toward the removal opening, and the step portion and the inclined portion are connected.

[0008] A fourth form of the item distribution box of the present invention is described as the first form, characterized in that the raised base is capable of accommodating weights, thereby increasing stability.

[0009] A fifth form of the item distribution box of the present invention is described as the first form, characterized in that a window portion is further provided on one of a pair of opposing side portions of the outer box, allowing the remaining amount of the stored items to be checked.

[0010] A sixth form of the item distribution box of the present invention is described as the first form, further comprising a pop member at the upper end in the height direction of the pair of trays contained in the outer box, inserted into the gap between the opposing surface portions of the pair of trays, wherein the upper edge in the height direction of the other pair of opposing side portions of the outer box is each provided with an arc-shaped notch, and the pop member is provided with a pair of slit portions capable of engaging with the pair of arc-shaped notches. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, since the access opening is located on the side, it can be carried and placed on a stand or table for use, and since the access opening is spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom, a space is created in the front part below the access opening of the outer box where the hand can be placed, making it possible to easily pick up items in the tray through the access opening by holding them with the fingers. Also, since the lower edge in the height direction of the tray contained in the outer box is raised from the bottom by the bottom raising platform, it becomes possible to easily take out items in the tray that is at the lowest position in the height direction through the access opening.

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

[0014] In the present specification, drawings, and claims, the terms "top surface" and "bottom surface" refer to surfaces defined by the elements of the article distribution box. However, these terms are merely used for convenience, and do not, of course, define absolute positions in the direction of gravity. The same applies to terms such as "upper" and "lower".

[0015] In addition, in the description of this specification and the claims, "rectangle" includes not only rectangular and approximately rectangular shapes but also squares and approximately square shapes, and "rectangular parallelepiped" includes not only rectangular and approximately rectangular parallelepiped shapes but also cubes and approximately cubes. Furthermore, in the description of this specification and the claims, "parallel" includes not only parallel but also approximately parallel, and "orthogonal" includes not only orthogonal but also approximately orthogonal.

[0016] In this specification, drawings, and claims, the "length direction," "width direction," and "height direction" of the item distribution box are each perpendicular to each other. Also, the "length direction," "width direction," and "height direction" of the outer box of the item distribution box, the tray contained in the outer box, the items contained in the tray, the lifting base contained in the outer box, the lifting base cover contained in the outer box, and the pop member are each identical to the above-mentioned "length direction," "width direction," and "height direction" of the item distribution box.

[0017] <Structure of each element that makes up the item distribution box> FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an article distribution box C according to one embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1(a) shows a non-transparent view and FIG. 1(b) shows a transparent view for convenience of explanation. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view in the II-II direction of FIG. 1(a), and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view for explaining the order of assembly into the article distribution box C according to this embodiment. FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the IV portion on the lower side in the height direction of the tray 2 shown in FIG. 3 with the article W removed from the tray 2.

In FIG. 2, the pop member 5 is omitted for convenience of explanation.

[0018] The item distribution box C according to the present invention is configured to store a plurality of sheet-like items W and distribute them one by one. The items W may be any items as long as the effects of the present invention are realized, and examples of the items W include individually wrapped wet sheets and individually wrapped wet tissues. In this embodiment, the items W are wet sheets, and as shown in FIG. 1(b), the item distribution box C stores two trays 2, each containing 50 sheets, back to back. That is, the item distribution box C is a stocker that stores and distributes the sheet-like items W. In this embodiment, the outer box 1, tray 2, bottom lifting cover 4, and pop member 5 of the item distribution box C are made of cardboard whose surface is coated with a paint or the like, and the bottom lifting stand 3 is made of cardboard.

[0019] The item distribution box C of this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 5 to 7, is capable of distributing multiple sheet-like items W stacked in the vertical direction in sequence by removing the items W from below through an outlet 101. The item distribution box C comprises an outer box 1 having an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape with a top opening 104, the outlet 101 being provided on one of a pair of opposing side portions 11, 14 at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface 110 of the outer box 1; a pair of trays 2 carrying and containing items W, the pair of trays 2 being inserted into the outer box 1 through the top opening 104 with their backs facing each other and contained therein; and a bottom lifting platform 3 which lifts the pair of trays 2 from the bottom surface 110 of the outer box 1 at a position a predetermined distance H from the bottom surface 110 of the outer box 1 so that the lowest item W in the vertical direction contained in the tray 2 can be removed from the outlet 101.

[0020] With this configuration, since the outlet 101 is located on the side surfaces 11, 14, it can be carried and used with the bottom surface 110 side placed on a stand or table, and since the outlet 101 is separated from the bottom surface 110 by a predetermined distance H, a space G1 is created in which a hand can be placed in the front part below the outlet 101 of the outer box 1, making it possible to easily pick up an article W in the tray 2 with fingers and take it out through the outlet 101. Also, since the lower edge in the height direction of the tray 2 contained in the outer box 1 is raised from the bottom by the bottom raising platform 3, it becomes possible to easily take out an article W in the tray 2 that is at the lowest position in the height direction through the outlet 101.

[0021] In this embodiment, the bottom surface 110 of the outer box 1 is composed of a first bottom flap portion 111, a second bottom flap portion 121, a third bottom flap portion 131, and a fourth bottom flap portion 141. In this embodiment, the predetermined interval H is about 100 mm. The dimensions of the removal opening 101 can be designed depending on the size of the article W to be stored. In addition, the height of the removal opening 101 (predetermined interval H) may be changed in consideration of the balance with the overall height of the product.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the bottom lifting platform 3 with two weights P, the bottom lifting platform cover 4, and the pair of trays 2 loaded with 50 articles W are placed in the outer box 1 in that order, and finally the pop member 5 is inserted between the pair of trays 2 to produce the article distribution box C shown in Fig. 1(a). In Fig. 3, when the trays 2 are stored in the outer box 1, they are inserted in an upright state in a back-to-back pair, but this is a representation in the drawing, and in reality they are inserted one by one with the whole laid down. Of course, this does not exclude the insertion in an upright state.

[0023] In the article distribution box C according to this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 and 5, semicircular cutouts 101a, 101b are further provided above and below the centre of the take-out opening 101.

[0024] This configuration increases the range in which fingers can be inserted at the outlet 101, making it possible to easily pick up and take out the article W with two fingers. That is, because the tray 2 is configured as described above and the center of the slit in the outer box 1 is expanded into a circular shape, a gap is formed below the outlet 101, which is the opening for taking out wet sheets, into which fingers can be inserted, making it easier to take out the article W. The semicircular cutouts 101a, 101b may be different in size between the top and bottom. In this embodiment, the lower semicircular cutout 101b is larger than the upper semicircular cutout 101a.

[0025] In the item distribution box C of this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the lower vertical edge of the tray 2 further comprises a step portion 201 formed so as to create a space G2 at the bottom of the tip of the lowest item W in the height direction contained in the tray 2, and an inclined portion 202 that inclines upward in the height direction as it moves from the rear width side of the outer box 1 toward the removal opening 101, and the step portion 201 and inclined portion 202 are connected.

[0026] This configuration creates a space G2 at the bottom of the tip of the lowest article W stored in the tray 2 in the height direction, creating a space for inserting a finger at the removal opening 101, making it easier to pick up and remove the article W. Also, since the edge of the tray 2 is inclined to be parallel (or approaching parallel) to the direction in which the article W is removed, the article W can be removed even more easily. Also, when removing the article W, it is usually assumed that the article is removed diagonally upwards, but since the edge of the tray 2 is inclined to be parallel (or approaching parallel) to the removal direction, the article W can be removed even more easily.

[0027] 2, in the cross section of the tray 2 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the inclined portion 202 and the stepped portion 201 form the hypotenuse and adjacent side of a right-angled triangle. That is, the bottom portion of the tray 2 is folded so as to protrude into a right-angled triangle in which the angle formed by the side plate 22, which is the bottom surface, and the stepped portion 201 (a surface extending downward in the height direction) is a right angle, and the inclined portion 202 forms the hypotenuse (at this time, the angle formed by the inclined portion 202 and the stepped portion 201 is an acute angle).

[0028] 1 to 3, in the article distribution box C according to this embodiment, the raising platform 3 can accommodate a weight P, thereby increasing stability, and further includes a raising platform cover 4 capable of covering the top surface of the raising platform 3. In other words, the raising platform 3 functions not only to raise the bottom of the tray 2, but also as a weight.

[0029] With this configuration, the weight P makes it difficult for the article W to be pulled, making it easier to take out the article W. It also improves the stability of the article distribution box C. The weight P can be, for example, a 250 ml plastic bottle of water.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the item distribution box C of this embodiment further comprises a pop member 5 (which conveys product information) which is inserted into the gap formed when the bottom plates of the pair of trays 2 housed in the outer box 1 come into contact at the upper height end of the pair of trays 2, and an arc-shaped cutout 103 is provided on each of the upper height edges of a pair of opposing side portions 12, 13 of the outer box 1, and the pop member 5 is provided with a pair of slit portions 501 which can engage with the pair of arc-shaped cutouts 103.

[0031] With this configuration, the pop member 5 is fixed simply by inserting it into the top of the outer box 1, and can be easily replaced if there are changes to the product information. Also, by inserting the pop member 5, it is expected that the effect of preventing the upper parts of the side parts 12, 13 of the outer box 1 from sagging can be expected.

[0032] In the item distribution box C of this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, a window portion 102 is further provided on one of a pair of opposing side portions 11, 14 of the outer box 1 so that the remaining amount of stored items W can be checked.

[0033] This configuration allows the remaining amount of stored articles W to be confirmed, and allows the articles W to be replenished depending on the situation. In this embodiment, an auxiliary window portion 102a is further provided on the upper side in the height direction from the window portion 102.

[0034] <Blanks for each element that makes up the item distribution box> 5, in the blank 1B of the outer box 1, the rectangular first side portion 11 is connected to the first bottom flap portion 111 via the first folding line L1, and is connected to the second side portion 12 and the third side portion 13 via the second folding line L2 and the third folding line L3, which are parallel to each other.
