Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a case for storing and carrying plastic model works. More specifically, the present invention relates to a case for storing and carrying plastic model works, which can store and carry various types of assembled plastic model works without deformation when moving them to another place.

Background Art

[0002] Plastic model works of figures of characters appearing in popular anime are variously on the market, and exhibition venues for new products are bustling with many enthusiasts. Depending on the plastic model work, not only the shape and painting but also the customization can be enjoyed, and various contests and events are held for such plastic model works in various places. In such cases, the works produced may be brought to the venue, but in that case, since the works may be deformed during transportation, it is necessary to store and carry them carefully.

[0003] There is an invention that discloses a case for storing and carrying works in such a case (Utility Model Registration No. 3233817). The case according to this invention is a plastic case in which cushioning materials provided with a large number of uneven portions are disposed on the inner surfaces of both the lid side and the container side, and when the lid is closed, the convex portions on one side are fitted into the concave portions on the other side, and the plastic model work placed on the cushioning material on the container side is supported by being sandwiched between the uneven portions of the cushioning materials on the lid side and the container side by closing the lid.

[0004] In the case of this case, the stored product is supported by being sandwiched from both sides by the uneven portions of the cushioning material. However, the product has a complex shape with small unevenness, and when it is pressed by the uneven portions of the cushioning material from the front and back, the pressing balance is not constant depending on the position where the convex portion hits, so there is a risk that it cannot be held in a stable state, and in some cases, there is a risk that some parts of the plastic model work may come off and cause deformation.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0013] Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, regarding the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the case for storing and carrying plastic model works according to the present invention shown therein is a sturdy and portable box-shaped case with a handle, made of duralumin, hard plastic, wood, etc., and comprises a container 1 with a handle 2 and a lid 3 connected to the container 1, and cushioning materials 4 and 5 are densely installed inside the container 1 and the lid 3 respectively. Usually, the lid 3 is hinge-connected to the container 1, but in that case, by using a hinge that can be removed by shifting it sideways, the container 1 and the lid 3 may be separable. Also, this case may be stackable when placed horizontally.

[0014] A number of cuts 6 for sinking and holding the plastic model work 21 to be stored are engraved on the entire surface of at least one of the cushioning materials 4 and 5 on the container 1 side and the lid 3 side. The cuts 6 are preferably lattice-shaped as in the illustrated example. This is because it is suitable for evenly sinking the plastic model work 21 having an irregular uneven surface according to its shape without difficulty. The cuts 6 are not limited to a lattice shape and can be any line. Note that the cuts 6 are hardly visible visually and can be confirmed by stretching (see FIG. 3).

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, countless pin holes 7 for inserting the standing and holding pins 22 attached to the soles of the plastic model work 21 to be stored are drilled on the outer surface of the container 1 and / or the lid 3. The standing and holding pins 22 have a shape with a pin provided at the center of the top plate 22a, like a ball marker used in golf, for example, and an adhesive is applied to the top plate 22a, and the top plate 22a is adhered to the sole of the plastic model work 21 for use (see FIG. 4). The pin holes 7 may be received even when passing through the container 1 and the lid 3, or may be deep holes.

[0016] The case for storing and carrying plastic model works with the above structure is used for storing and carrying or storing the assembled completed plastic model work 21 when moving it to another place. When in use, open the lid 3 and lay the plastic model work 21 on the cushioning material 4 on the body 1 side (see Fig. 2). When the lid 3 is closed, the plastic model work 21 is pushed by the cushioning material 5 on the lid 3 side and sinks into the cushioning material 5 on the body 1 side. At this time, preferably, due to the action of the cross-shaped or other cuts 6 provided on the entire surface of the cushioning material 4 on the body 1 side, the back side of the plastic model work 21 having an irregular uneven surface sinks evenly into the cushioning material 4 on the body 1 side without difficulty.

[0017] And it receives elastic force from the entire circumferential surface, but due to the presence of a large number of cuts 6, it does not receive a strong elastic force partially and is held in a stable state. Therefore, even if it sways during carrying, its stable holding state is maintained, so there is no risk of parts coming off or the fixing force weakening and the shape collapsing.

[0018] Also, when innumerable pin holes 7 are drilled in the outer surface of the body 1 and / or the lid 3, by inserting the standing and holding pins 22 attached to the plastic model work 21 into the pin holes 7, the work 21 can be stood at an arbitrary position on the body 1 or the lid 3 and used for display.

[0019] Next, the second embodiment shown in Fig. 5 will be described. This second embodiment is configured to be double-opening, while the first embodiment is single-opening. That is, in this case of the second embodiment, a composite lid 12 with one side being the lid configuration part 13 and the other side being the body configuration part 14 is arranged in the middle, and the body 11 is hinge-connected to the lid configuration part 13 side, and the lid 15 is hinge-connected to the body configuration part 14 side. In this case, the handle 2 is attached to the composite lid 12.

[0020] The container 11, the lid component 13, the container component 14, and the lid 15 are each internally provided with the same cushioning materials 4 and 5 as described above, and a large number of cuts 6 are engraved on at least one of the cushioning materials 4 and 5. Further, in a preferred embodiment, in the same manner as in the case of the first embodiment, innumerable pin holes 7 are formed on the outer surfaces of the container 11, the composite lid 12, and the lid 15, and they are used in the same manner as in the case of the first embodiment.

[0021] In the case of this second embodiment, the plastic model works 21 may be stored in both of the containers 11 and 12, or the plastic model works 21 may be stored in one of them, and parts, tools, etc. may be stored in the other. When storing the plastic model works 21, first, the container 11 is laid down and the plastic model works 21 is placed thereon. Then, the composite lid 12 is laid down, the lid component 13 is placed on the container 11 to lock the container 11 and the composite lid 12, the plastic model works 21 or parts are placed on the container component 14 on the opposite side of the lid component 13, the lid 15 is placed thereon, and the composite lid 12 and the lid 15 are locked. When taking out the plastic model works 21, the reverse operation is performed.

Industrial Applicability

[0022] The plastic model work storage and portable case according to the present invention is as described above. When moving a completed plastic model work, by placing the work on the cushioning material on the container side and covering it with a lid, the work can be sunk into a stable state by the action of cuts such as a cross shape provided on the entire surface of the cushioning material. Therefore, there is an effect that there is no risk of parts coming off or the fixing force weakening during movement and causing deformation of the mold. Further, when innumerable pin holes are formed on the outer surface of the case, there is an effect that the work can be displayed standing at an arbitrary position of the case using the pin holes. Therefore, its industrial applicability is great.
