Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a compartmented container. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, partitioned containers have been known, and for example, a partitioned container disclosed in Patent Document 1 has at least two partition plates, and one partition plate is attached by inserting the other partition plate into the groove of the other partition plate so that the partition plates intersect. However, there is a problem in that the partition plates are easily displaced upward. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 2606092 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In view of the above problem, the present invention provides a container with partitions in which the partitions are less likely to shift upward. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In order to solve the above problem, the partitioned container of claim 1 of the present invention is a partitioned container comprising a container body having a storage space that opens upward, and a partition plate that is removably attached to the container body to divide the storage space, wherein the partition plate comprises a first partition member having a slit extending in the vertical direction, and a second partition member having an insertion claw that is inserted into and engages with the slit, and is characterized in that when two of the second partition members are arranged adjacent to each other on either side of the first partition member, each insertion claw of the second partition member is inserted into the slit from both sides.
[0006] According to the above feature, since the insertion claws are inserted into the slits of the first partition portion from both sides, the partition plate is unlikely to shift upward.
[0007] Furthermore, the partitioned container of claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that the first partition member has at least two or more slits in the width direction, and when two of the second partition members are engaged with different slits, the upper ends of each insertion claw of the second partition member can abut against the upper ends of each slit.
[0008] According to the above feature, even if the second partition member is engaged with a different slit, the upper ends of each insertion claw of the second partition member can abut against the upper ends of each slit, thereby effectively preventing the second partition member from moving upward.
[0009] Furthermore, the partitioned container of claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that the first partition member has at least two slits in the vertical direction, the second partition member has at least two insertion claws corresponding to each slit, and when two second partition members are arranged adjacent to each other on both sides of the first partition member, the insertion claws of the second partition members on both sides are arranged alternately vertically within the slits.
[0010] According to the above feature, the insertion claws of the second partition member restrict the upward and downward movement of each other, so that the second partition member can be effectively prevented from moving upward. Effect of the Invention
[0011] According to the partitioned container of the present invention, the partition plate is less likely to shift upward. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, "upward" refers to the direction facing upward in the vertical direction when the partitioned container is placed on a horizontal surface with the upper opening of the container body facing up, and "downward" refers to the direction facing downward in the vertical direction.
[0014] <Embodiment 1> 1 shows a partitioned container 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the partitioned container 100.
[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the partitioned container 100 is generally made of synthetic resin and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and includes a container body 200 and a lid 300 that closes the opening of the container body 200. The container body 200 includes a bottom surface 210, a front surface 220 rising from the bottom surface 210, side surfaces 230 on both sides, and a rear surface 240, and an opening 250 at the top end. The inside of the partitioned container 100 is a storage space 260 that can store any storage object. The storage space 260 is further divided into storage spaces of any size by a partition plate 400. The lid 300 is attached by a hinge 310 so as to be able to be opened and closed. The partitioned container 100 includes the lid 300, but is not limited thereto, and may not include the lid 300. The partitioned container 100 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be any shape, such as a substantially circular shape or a substantially polygonal shape. Furthermore, although the partitioned container 100 is made of synthetic resin, it is not limited to this and may be made of any material such as paper, wood, metal, etc., as long as it can withstand use. The partitioned container 100 can be provided with an inner tray, and grooves are provided at the front and rear of the container body 200 along which the tray can slide, and a protrusion is provided within the groove to restrict movement. However, since the tray moves during transportation with the lid 300 closed, when the tray moves over the protrusion of the slide groove with the rib on the back side of the lid 300, the tray comes into contact with the rib on the back side of the lid 300, thereby restricting movement.
[0016] Next, Fig. 2 shows each member constituting the partition plate 400. Fig. 2(a) is a front view of a first partition member 500, Fig. 2(b) is a front view of a second partition member 600, and Fig. 2(c) is a front view of a second partition member 700.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, the partition plate 400 includes a first partition member 500 and two second partition members (600, 700). As shown in FIG. 2(a), the first partition member 500 is a plate-like member made entirely of synthetic resin, and includes an upper end 501, a lower end 502, and side ends 503 on both sides. The first partition member 500 also includes a plurality of slits 510 extending in the up-down direction. The slits 510 penetrate the first partition member 500 from the front surface to the back surface. Two slits 510 are lined up along the up-down direction X, and two or more slits 510 are lined up along the lateral direction (width direction) Y.
[0018] The horizontal direction Y is a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction X. Although two slits 510 are arranged along the vertical direction X, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any number of slits 510 may be arranged along the vertical direction X, such as one slit along the vertical direction X, or three or more slits along the vertical direction X. Although two or more slits 510 are arranged along the horizontal direction Y, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any number of slits 510 may be arranged along the horizontal direction Y, such as one slit along the horizontal direction Y. Furthermore, the horizontal width of the first partition member 500 is larger than the horizontal width of the second partition member 600, and the horizontal width of the second partition member 600 is larger than the horizontal width of the second partition member 700, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the size of each partition member can be set to any size.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 2(b), the second partition member 600 is a plate-like member made entirely of synthetic resin, and includes an upper end 601, a lower end 602, and side ends 603 on both sides. The lower end 602 is provided with a lower protrusion 604 that protrudes downward. One of the side ends 603 on both sides (left side in the drawing) is linear in the vertical direction. The other side end 603 on the other side (right side in the drawing) is also linear in the vertical direction, but has two insertion claws 620 on the top and bottom. The insertion claws 620 are formed in a convex shape toward the side, and are configured to be inserted into and engaged with the slits 510 of the first partition member 500. Furthermore, a protrusion 622 that protrudes from a surface 621 of the insertion claw 620 is optionally provided at the tip of the insertion claw 620. Similarly, a protrusion 622 is optionally provided on the back surface of the insertion claw 620 so as to protrude from the back surface. In this way, by providing the protrusions 622 on both the front and back sides of the insertion claw 620, it is easy to bring the insertion claw 620 to the center of the slit 510. The protrusions 622 may be provided only on one side, the front or back side, of the insertion claw 620. The second partition member 600 has two insertion claws 620, but is not limited to this, and may have one insertion claw 620 or three or more insertion claws 620 as long as they can be inserted into and engaged with the slit 510 of the first partition member 500. The second partition member 600 is a flat plate with a constant thickness, so it can be stacked during storage, etc. The lower protrusion 604 of the lower end 602 of the second partition member 600 is provided on the outer side opposite to the protrusion 622, so that the second partition member 600 is unlikely to slip or deform even if it hits an object when attached to the first partition member 500.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 2(c), the second partition member 700 is a plate-like member made entirely of synthetic resin, and includes an upper end 701, a lower end 702, and side ends 703 on both sides. The lower end 702 is provided with a lower protrusion 704 that protrudes downward. The other side end 703 (on the right side in the drawing) of the two side ends 703 is linear in the vertical direction. The other side end 703 (on the left side in the drawing) is also linear in the vertical direction, but has two insertion claws 720 on the top and bottom. The insertion claws 720 are formed in a convex shape toward the side, and are configured to be inserted into and engaged with the slits 510 of the first partition member 500. Furthermore, a protrusion 722 that protrudes from a surface 721 of the insertion claw 720 is optionally provided at the tip of the insertion claw 720. Similarly, a protrusion 722 is optionally provided on the back surface of the insertion claw 720 so as to protrude from the back surface. In this way, by providing the protrusions 722 on both the front and back sides of the insertion claw 720, it is easy to bring the insertion claw 720 to the center of the slit 510. The protrusions 722 may be provided only on one side, the front or back side, of the insertion claw 720. The second partition member 700 has two insertion claws 720, but is not limited to this. As long as the insertion claws 720 can be inserted into and engaged with the slit 510 of the first partition member 500, one or three or more insertion claws 720 may be provided. The second partition member 700 is a flat plate with a constant thickness, so that it can be stacked during storage, etc. The lower protrusion 704 of the lower end 702 of the second partition member 700 is provided on the outer side opposite to the protrusion 722, so that the second partition member 700 is unlikely to slip or deform even if it is hit by an object when attached to the first partition member 500.
[0021] Next, the manner in which the partition plate 400 divides the storage space 260 of the container body 200 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3(a) is a plan view of the container body 200 of the partitioned container 100, Fig. 3(b) is an end view taken along line A-A, and Fig. 3(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B. Fig. 3(a) shows the container body 200 with the lid 300 removed.
[0022] As shown in Fig. 3(a), two parallel plates 231 protruding inward form a groove 232 on the side surface 230 of the container body 200. The first partition member 500 of the partition plate 400 is detachably attached to the container body 200 by inserting side ends 503 of the first partition member 500 of the partition plate 400 into the grooves 232 on both sides. As shown in Fig. 3(b), the slit 510 of the first partition member 500 penetrates from the front surface 505 to the rear surface 506 side of the first partition member 500. The upper end 511 and the lower end 512 of the slit 510 are linear and parallel to each other. Furthermore, a protrusion 516 extending linearly in the vertical direction is provided in the left-right central portion of the inner surface 513 of the slit 510, and each protrusion (622, 722) of each insertion claw (620, 720) of the second partition member (600, 700) is hooked on the protrusion 516, thereby effectively preventing each insertion claw (620, 720) from coming out of the slit 510. The protrusion 516 may be a parting line (PL) of a mold for manufacturing the first partition member 500. Furthermore, in order to make it easier to remove the mold, the inner surface 513 of the slit 510 may be inclined from the outer end of the slit 510 toward the protrusion (PL).
[0023] 3(a) and (c), the insertion claws 620 of the second partition member 600 are inserted into and engaged with the slits 510 from the front surface 505 side of the first partition member 500. On the opposite side of the first partition member 500, the insertion claws 720 of the second partition member 700 are inserted into and engaged with the slits 510 from the rear surface 506 side of the first partition member 500. In this manner, when the two second partition members (600, 700) are disposed adjacent to both sides of the first partition member 500, the insertion claws (620, 720) are inserted from both sides of the slit 510 of the first partition member 500. Therefore, the partition plate 400 (particularly the second partition member 600 and the second partition member 700) is unlikely to shift upward.
[0024] 3(c), the insertion claws 620 of the second partition member 600 and the insertion claws 720 of the second partition member 700 are arranged alternately in the upper and lower slits 510. Therefore, the insertion claws 620 of the second partition member 600 and the insertion claws 720 of the second partition member 700 restrict each other from moving up and down, so that the second partition member 600 and the second partition member 700 can be effectively prevented from moving upward. Note that there is almost no gap between the insertion claws 620 and the insertion claws 720 arranged in the slits 510, so that contents and the like are not caught. It should be noted that each insertion claw 620 of the second partition member 600 is positioned on the outside (i.e., the upper insertion claw 620 is positioned close to the upper end 501 of the first partition member 500 and the lower insertion claw 620 is positioned close to the lower end 502 of the first partition member 500) and each insertion claw 720 of the second partition member 700 is positioned on the inside (i.e., the upper insertion claw 720 is positioned away from the upper end 501 of the first partition member 500 and the lower insertion claw 720 is positioned away from the lower end 502 of the first partition member 500), but this is not limited to the above, and each insertion claw 620 of the second partition member 600 may be positioned on the inside and each insertion claw 720 of the second partition member 700 may be positioned on the outside.
[0025] Furthermore, the protrusions 622 of the insertion claws 620 engage with the inner surface 513 (see FIG. 3(b)) and edge 514 of the slit 510 of the first partition member 500, making it difficult for the insertion claws 620 to come out of the slit 510 and further reducing the upward displacement of the second partition member 600. Furthermore, a plurality of recesses 211 are provided on the bottom surface 210 of the container body 200, and the lower protrusions 604 of the second partition member 600 fit into the recesses 211, making it difficult for the second partition member 600 to shift laterally.
[0026] Furthermore, since the protrusion 722 of the insertion claw 720 engages with the inner surface 513 (see FIG. 3(b)) and edge portion 514 of the slit 510 of the first partition member 500, the insertion claw 720 is less likely to come out of the slit 510, and the second partition member 700 is further less likely to shift upward. Furthermore, since the lower protrusion 704 of the second partition member 700 fits into the recess 211, the second partition member 700 is less likely to shift laterally.
[0027] Next, Fig. 4 illustrates another embodiment in which the partition plate 400 divides the storage space 260 of the container body 200. Fig. 4(a) is a plan view of the container body 200 of the partitioned container 100, Fig. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along CC, and Fig. 4(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along D-D. Fig. 4(a) illustrates the container body 200 with the lid 300 removed.
[0028] 4(a), the first partition member 500 of the partition plate 400 is inserted into the groove 232 of the container body 200 and is detachably attached to the container body 200. In addition, the second partition member 600 and the second partition member 700 are arranged to be shifted in the horizontal direction.
[0029] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the insertion claw 720 of the second partition member 700 is inserted into the slit 510 from the rear surface 506 side of the first partition member 500 and engaged therewith. The upper end 724 of the lower insertion claw 720 abuts against the upper end 511 of the lower slit 510, so that the second partition member 700 can be effectively prevented from moving upward. Note that, as shown in FIG. 4(b), in a state in which the second partition member 700 is attached to the first partition member 500, the upper end 724 of the insertion claw 720 abuts against the upper end 511 of the slit 510, but this is not limited thereto, and a gap may be provided between the upper end 724 of the insertion claw 720 and the upper end 511 of the slit 510, so that when the second partition member 700 is displaced upward, the upper end 724 of the insertion claw 720 abuts against the upper end 511 of the slit 510, thereby preventing the second partition member 700 from moving upward. This gap is about 1 to 2 mm (millimeters), and upper end 724 of insertion claw 720 and upper end 511 of slit 510 are close to each other.
[0030] 4(c), the insertion claw 620 of the second partition member 600 is inserted into and engaged with a slit 510 other than the slit 510 to which the second partition member 700 is attached from the front surface 505 side of the first partition member 500. Since the upper end 624 of the upper insertion claw 620 abuts against the upper end 511 of the upper slit 510, it is possible to effectively prevent the second partition member 600 from moving upward. As shown in FIG. 4(c), when the second partition member 600 is attached to the first partition member 500, the upper end 624 of the insertion claw 620 abuts the upper end 511 of the slit 510. However, this is not limited to this, and a gap may be provided between the upper end 624 of the insertion claw 620 and the upper end 511 of the slit 510, so that when the second partition member 600 shifts upward, the upper end 624 of the insertion claw 620 abuts the upper end 511 of the slit 510, thereby preventing the second partition member 600 from moving upward.
[0031] 3 and 4, the second partition members 600 and 700 of the partition plate 400 may be arranged in any manner other than as shown in Fig. 3 and 4, and the storage space 260 of the container body 200 may be freely divided. In Fig. 3 and 4, the partition plate 400 includes one each of the second partition members 600 and 700, but the partition plate 400 may include any number of the second partition members 600 and 700.
[0032] <Embodiment 2> Next, a partitioned container according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The partitioned container according to the second embodiment differs from the partitioned container 100 according to the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 4 only in that the slit 510A of the first partition member 500A has an opening 515A, the second partition member 600A has a recess 607A, and the second partition member 700A has a recess 707A. The other configurations are basically the same as those of the partitioned container 100 according to the first embodiment, so detailed description will be omitted. Fig. 5(a) is a front view of the first partition member 500A, and Fig. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view of the periphery of the slit 510A, as shown in the same manner as Fig. 3(c).
[0033] As shown in FIG. 5(a), the upper slit 510A of the first partition member 500A is provided with an opening 515A extending from a part of the upper end 511A of the slit 510A to the upper end 501A of the first partition member 500A. The opening 515A allows the slit 510A to be elastically deformed and widened, making it easy to insert the insertion claws (620A, 720A) of the second partition member (600A, 700A) into the slit 510A. The insertion claws 620A of the inserted second partition member 600A abut against the upper end 511A of the slit 510A, effectively preventing the second partition member 600A from moving upward. In order to maintain the strength of the first partition member 500A, the thickness of the first partition member 500A is about 80 to 100% of the width of the slit 510A. In addition, the insertion claws (620A, 720A) may have different lengths in the up-down direction to clarify the direction in which the second partition members (600A, 700A) are attached.
[0034] 5(b), the side end 603A of the second partition member 600A is provided with a recess 607A recessed inward from the side end 603A. The side end 703A of the second partition member 700A is provided with a recess 707A recessed inward from the side end 703A. When the second partition member 600A and the second partition member 700A are attached from both sides of the slit 510A, the recess 607A is provided at a position facing the insertion claw 720A. Therefore, even if the insertion claw 720A of the second partition member 700A becomes longer laterally due to dimensional tolerance, the insertion claw 720A fits into the recess 607A, and therefore the insertion claw 720A can be prevented from interfering with the side end 603A. Similarly, since the recess 707A is provided at a position opposite to the insertion claw 620A, even if the insertion claw 620A of the second partition member 600A becomes longer laterally due to dimensional tolerance, the insertion claw 620A fits into the recess 707A, thereby preventing the insertion claw 620A from interfering with the side end 703A.
[0035] <Embodiment 3> Next, a partitioned container according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The partitioned container according to the third embodiment is different from the partitioned container 100 according to the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 4 only in the configuration of the slit 510B of the first partition member 500B, the configuration of the insertion claw 620B of the second partition member 600B, and the configuration of the insertion claw 720B of the second partition member 700B. The other configurations are basically the same as the partitioned container 100 according to the first embodiment, so detailed description will be omitted. Fig. 6(a) is a front view of the first partition member 500B, Fig. 6(b) is a front view of the second partition member 600B, Fig. 6(c) is a side view enlarging the periphery of the insertion claw 620B of the second partition member 600B, Fig. 6(d) is a front view of the second partition member 700B, and Fig. 6(e) is a side view enlarging the periphery of the insertion claw 720B of the second partition member 700B.
[0036] 6(a), the first partition member 500B has a plurality of slits 510B extending in the up-down direction, and upper ends 511B of the slits 510B are arc-shaped and convex upward. Also, lower ends 512B of the slits 510B are arc-shaped and convex downward.
[0037] 6(b) and (c), the insertion claw 620B of the second partition member 600B is disposed on one side from the center in the thickness direction of the side end 603B. The upper end 624B of the insertion claw 620B is curved to draw an arc, and the upper end 624B has a shape corresponding to a part of the upper end 511B of the slit 510B. The lower end 625B of the insertion claw 620B is curved to draw an arc, and the lower end 625B has a shape corresponding to a part of the lower end 512B of the slit 510B. The back surface 626B of the insertion claw 620B is flat.
[0038] 6(d) and (e), the insertion claw 720B of the second partition member 700B is disposed on one side from the center in the thickness direction of the side end 703B. The upper end 724B of the insertion claw 720B is curved to draw an arc, and the upper end 724B has a shape corresponding to a part of the upper end 511B of the slit 510B. The lower end 725B of the insertion claw 720B is curved to draw an arc, and the lower end 725B has a shape corresponding to a part of the lower end 512B of the slit 510B. The back surface 726B of the insertion claw 720B is a flat surface, and is configured to be in surface contact with the back surface 626B of the insertion claw 620B for close contact.
[0039] Next, in Fig. 7, a manner in which a partition plate 400B partitions the storage space 260B of a container body 200B in a partitioned container according to embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. Fig. 7(a) is a plan view of a container body 200B of a partitioned container 100B, and Fig. 7(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line E-E. Fig. 7(a) shows the container with the lid removed.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 7, the insertion claw 620B of the second partition member 600B is inserted into the slit 510B from the front surface 505B side of the first partition member 500B and engaged therewith. On the opposite side of the first partition member 500B, the insertion claw 720B of the second partition member 700B is inserted into the slit 510B from the rear surface 506B side of the first partition member 500B and engaged therewith. In this way, when the two second partition members (600B, 700B) are arranged adjacent to both sides of the first partition member 500B, the insertion claws (620B, 720B) are inserted from both sides of the slit 510B of the first partition member 500B. Therefore, the partition plate 400B (particularly the second partition member 600B and the second partition member 700B) are unlikely to be displaced upward.
[0041] 7(b), the insertion claws 620B of the second partition member 600B and the insertion claws 720B of the second partition member 700B are arranged side by side in each of the upper and lower slits 510B. Therefore, the insertion claws 620B of the second partition member 600B and the insertion claws 720B of the second partition member 700B restrict each other from moving left and right, so that the second partition member 600B and the second partition member 700B can be effectively prevented from moving in the lateral direction. In particular, the back surface 726B of the insertion claw 720B and the back surface 626B of the insertion claw 620B are in surface contact with each other and are in close contact with each other, so that rattling in the lateral direction can be effectively prevented.
[0042] Next, Fig. 8 illustrates another embodiment in which the partition plate 400B divides the storage space 260B of the container body 200B in the partitioned container according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8(a) is a plan view of the container body 200B of the partitioned container 100B, Fig. 8(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line F-F, and Fig. 8(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along line G-G. Fig. 8(a) shows the container with the lid removed.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 8, the second partition member 600B and the second partition member 700B are arranged with a lateral shift. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8(b), the insertion claw 720B of the second partition member 700B is inserted into the slit 510B from the rear surface 506B side of the first partition member 500B and engaged therewith. The upper end 724B of the insertion claw 720B abuts against the upper end 511B of the slit 510B, so that the second partition member 700B can be effectively prevented from moving upward. The upper end 511B of the slit 510B is semicircular, and the upper end 724B of the insertion claw 720B is shaped to correspond to one side (the right side in the drawing) of the semicircular upper end 511B. Therefore, the upper end 724B of the insertion claw 720B is difficult to move to the other side (left side in the drawing) of the semicircular upper end 511B, so that the second partition member 700B can be effectively prevented from moving in the lateral direction. Similarly, the lower end 512B of the slit 510B is semicircular, and the lower end 725B of the insertion claw 720B has a shape corresponding to one side (right side in the drawing) of the semicircular lower end 512B. Therefore, the lower end 725B of the insertion claw 720B is difficult to move to the other side (left side in the drawing) of the semicircular lower end 512B, so that the second partition member 700B can be effectively prevented from moving in the lateral direction. Slit 510B has a generally elliptical shape with a semicircular upper end 511B and a semicircular lower end 512B, and insertion claw 720B also has a shape of approximately half an ellipse so as to correspond to slit 510B, but is not limited to this, and slit 510B may have a circular shape, and insertion claw 720B may also have a shape of half a circle (semicircular) so as to correspond to slit 510B.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 8(c), the insertion claw 620B of the second partition member 600B is inserted into the slit 510B from the front surface 505B side of the first partition member 500B and engaged therewith. The upper end 624B of the insertion claw 620B abuts against the upper end 511B of the slit 510B, so that the second partition member 600B can be effectively prevented from moving upward. The upper end 511B of the slit 510B is semicircular, and the upper end 624B of the insertion claw 620B has a shape corresponding to the other side (left side in the drawing) of the semicircular upper end 511B. Therefore, the upper end 624B of the insertion claw 620B is difficult to move to one side (right side in the drawing) of the semicircular upper end 511B, so that the second partition member 600B can be effectively prevented from moving laterally. Similarly, the lower end 512B of the slit 510B is semicircular, and the lower end 625B of the insertion claw 620B is shaped to correspond to the other side (left side in the drawing) of the semicircular lower end 512B. Therefore, the lower end 625B of the insertion claw 620B is difficult to move to one side (right side in the drawing) of the semicircular lower end 512B, so that the second partition member 600B can be effectively prevented from moving in the lateral direction. The slit 510B is substantially elliptical with a semicircular upper end 511B and a semicircular lower end 512B, and the insertion claw 620B is also shaped like a half of a substantially ellipse so as to correspond to the slit 510B, but is not limited thereto, and the slit 510B may be circular, and the insertion claw 620B may also be shaped like a half of a circle (semicircular) so as to correspond to the slit 510B.
