Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] An example of the holder attachment structure of the storage container of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this description, front-back, left-right, and up-down are based on the front view in the state where the holder member 40 is attached to the container body 2.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the storage container 1 of the present embodiment has a lid 3 pivotally supported on a shaft 4 at the back of a storage body 2 in a box shape with a hollow interior having a predetermined capacity, and is made openable and closable by the shaft 4 (see FIG. 4(a)). A buckle 6 is arranged on the front to maintain the closed state of the lid 3. There is a handle 5 spanning from one side surface to the other side surface of the container body 2, and the user can hold and carry the handle 5. Such a handle 5 rotates back and forth starting from the attachment position on the side surface.

[0019] In addition to FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, brackets 20, 20 are arranged on the attachment surfaces 14, 14 on the side surfaces of the container body 2 to attach the holder members 40, 40. In FIG. 1, the holder members 40, 40 are attached to both side surfaces of the container body 2, but only one side surface may be used. Also, two holder members 40, 40 are arranged in parallel on the bracket 20, but only one may be used, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0020] The fixing of the bracket 20 to the container body 2 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bracket 20 has a rectangular main body portion 21 and two upward extension portions 22, 22 that extend further upward from the upper surface of the main body portion 21. At the tips of the upward extension portions 22, 22, there are first protruding portions 23, 23 that protrude so as to face each other in the horizontal direction (front-rear direction when viewed from the front of the container body 2), with the first direction being the horizontal direction. The first protruding portions 23, 23 have cutout portions 23a, 23a that are obliquely cut from above to below, making it easier to reach the first engaging portions 12, 12 described later from below when inserting them into the first engaging portions 12, 12.

[0021] Particularly, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the bracket 20 has an inclined edge 21a on the back side of the main body portion 21 and the back of the upward extension portion 22 that is inclined so that the side width widens from above to below in a side view. The side of the container body 1 is inclined so that the lateral width narrows from above to below (see FIGS. 2 and 3), and it has a shape along such an inclination. In the state where the bracket 20 is arranged, the side surface of the container body 1 is made linear (see FIG. 2).

[0022] Particularly, as shown in FIGS. 5(b) and 6(b), on the back side of the main body portion 21, there are second protruding portions 25, 25 that protrude upward from a seat portion 24 that extends further back from the lower end. The second protruding portions 25, 25 have a protruding direction that is the vertical up-down direction (up-down direction when viewed from the front of the container body), which is the second direction. The second protruding portions 25, 25 are composed of a wedge-shaped or trapezoidal base portion 25a that extends continuously from the inside of the bracket 20 and a flat plate portion 25b that is wedge-shaped or trapezoidal with an outer shape that is slightly larger than that of the base portion 25a on the back side.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first protruding portion 23 has two protruding parts with the front-rear horizontal direction as the first direction, and the second protruding portion 25 has two protruding parts with the up-down direction as the second direction, but it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion may each be one, or the protruding direction of the first protruding portion or the second protruding portion may be the left-right horizontal direction.

[0024] The attachment structure between the bracket 20 and the container body 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact portion between the container body 2 and the lid 3 has a container contact portion 2a and a lid contact portion 3a that expand in a flange shape. Cover portions 10, 10 are arranged on both sides such that they hang down flush with the side ends of the container contact portion 2a that expands in a flange shape, and the interior 10a between them and the side surface of the container body 2 is hollow. The cover portions 10, 10 have a predetermined width in a side view, and a handle 5 is connected to the cover portion 10 at the center and fixed on the back side of the cover portion 10. On both sides of the position where the handle 5 is connected, there are wall portions 11, 11 that partition the interior 10a between the cover portion 10 and the container body 1, and first engaging portions 12, 12 that are insertion holes opening at the upper portions of such interior walls 11, 11 are formed.

[0025] When attaching the bracket 20 to the container body 1, the upward extensions 22, 22 of the bracket 20 are inserted from below along the two wall portions 11, 11 inside the cover portion 10. The upper portion of the bracket 20 is fixed by inserting the first protrusions 23, 23 that project in the horizontal direction (front-rear direction) into the first engaging portions 12, 12 that are the insertion holes of the wall portions 11, 11.

[0026] More specifically, the first engaging portions 12, 12 that are insertion holes communicate with the opening portions 12a, 12a of the cover portions 10, 10. Also, the wall portions 11, 11 are made narrower downward to facilitate insertion of the first protrusions 23, 23 that project from the upward extensions 22 inserted from below.

[0027] The fixing of the first protrusions 23, 23 and the first engaging portions 12, 12 in this embodiment is fixed not only at the protruding part and the hole, but also inside the cover portion 10 and shielded from the outside by the cover portion 10. When attaching accessory parts to the outer surface of the container body 1, there is a risk of coming into contact with the upper part of the accessory parts and becoming detached when storing or taking out tools, poles, etc. However, due to the cover portion 10 in this embodiment shielding the fixing portion of the bracket 20 from the outside, contact from the outside to such a fixing portion can be avoided, and stable fixing becomes possible.

[0028] Next, the fixing of the second protrusions 25, 25 below the bracket 20 will be described. The side surface of the container body 1 has stepped portions 13, 13 up and down on both lower sides of the covering portion 10, and a mounting surface 14 which is a side surface recessed one step inward between the two stepped portions 13. The lower end of the mounting surface 14 has second engaging portions 15, 15 for fixing the second protrusions 25, 25. The second engaging portions 15, 15 are composed of a recess 15a recessed from the mounting surface 14 and a notch portion 15b which is notched in a convex letter shape while continuously shielding a part of the recess 15a from the mounting surface 14. When the bracket 20 is inserted from below so that the side edges of the main body portion 21 of the bracket 20 are positioned along the stepped portions 13, 13 as described above, the flat plate portion 25b of the second protrusion 25 is inserted into the recess 15a, and the wedge-shaped or trapezoidal base portion 25a is inserted into the notch portion 15b.

[0029] By the engagement between the second protrusions 25, 25 and the second engaging portions 15, 15, the flat plate portion 25b prevents displacement in the width direction of the bracket 20 (the left-right direction of the container body 1 in front view), and the base portion 25a prevents displacement in the front-rear direction (the front-rear direction of the container body 1 in front view), enabling stable fixing of the bracket 20. That is, the bracket 20 is fixed to the container body 1 above and prevents displacement by the engagement below. Moreover, as described above, stable fixing of the bracket 20 is enabled by shielding the fixing portion in the upper fixing.

[0030] Further, since the second protrusions 25, 25 are composed of a base portion 25a and a flat plate portion 25b that is one size larger, and the second engaging portions 15, 15 are composed of a recess 15a and a notch portion 15b, displacement in the left-right direction as well as in the front-rear direction is prevented below, and it has a displacement prevention effect in a plurality of directions.

[0031] Next, the attachment and detachment between the bracket 20 and the holder member 40 will be described. In particular, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the main body portion 21 of the bracket 20 is formed with holder insertion portions 30, 30 that project from the surface in a pair and oppose each other in a key shape from left to right. Further, above the holder insertion portions 30, 30 of the main body portion 21, locking portions 35, 35 that are cut out in a U-shape except for the upper portion and are elastically deformable, and have raised portions 35a, 35a at the lower ends are formed.

[0032] The holder insertion portion 30 is composed of a pair of rising portions 31 that rise from the surface of the main body portion 21, and a tip portion 32 that slightly extends from the tip of the rising portion 31 toward the other rising portion 31. The space between the pair of rising portions 31, 31 is hollow. Further, lower surfaces 33, 33 are formed below the pair of rising portions 31, 31.

[0033] [[ID=⑧]]On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the holder member 40 has a cylindrical holder main body 41 with an open upper surface and a hollow interior, and a holder connection portion 42 that projects further in the back surface direction from below the holder main body 41 and on the back surface side. The holder connection portion 42 has an extension portion 42a that projects further in the back surface side from the back surface of the holder main body 41, and an insertion portion 42b that projects further from the extension portion 42a. A groove portion 42c that is recessed vertically is formed between the extension portion 42a and the insertion portion 42b.

[0034] When the holder member 40 is detachably connected to the bracket 20, it is slid and inserted from above so that the tip portion 32 of the holder insertion portion 30 is positioned in the groove portion 42c of the holder connection portion 42. At that time, the insertion portion 42c of the holder member 40 is inserted into the space between the pair of rising portions 31, 31 of the holder insertion portion 30, and when it is inserted until it reaches the lower surface 33 of the holder insertion portion 30, the connection is completed.

[0035] When the holder member 40 is connected to the bracket 20, the raised portion 35a of the locking portion 35 serves as a stopper to prevent the holder member 40 from coming out upward. When releasing the connection of the holder member 40, the raised portion 35a is pushed inward, and the holder connection portion 42 can come out upward, thereby changing from the connected state to the state to be connected.
