Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a box for storing keys to share room keys with various renovation contractors and items to be delivered at construction sites of apartment buildings, houses, etc. that are being renovated. [Background technology]

[0002] Prior art includes a key box filed by the applicant's master, which has a key box body configured to allow keys to be inserted and removed freely, equipped with a numbered key (a numbered turn key or numbered push key) for closing the lid, and a locking part for detachable attachment to the outer periphery of a door. There is also a key box for use at construction sites, which has a band part on the key box body for detachable attachment to a doorknob or gas pipe, etc. (See Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-10308 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described above, the conventional technology does not allow for a single attachment to the door periphery and gas pipe, so it was necessary to create two different types depending on the need.

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problems that existed with conventional configurations, and aims to be able to use a single device to cover door peripheries, doorknobs, gas pipes, etc., and to be able to be attached to various locations, not only at construction sites but also on doors during maintenance of large refrigeration equipment warehouses, and to store goods that are delivered to homes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a box body configured to allow various items to be freely inserted and removed, with a mounting fixture consisting of a mounting piece and a belt attached to the box body so that it can be detachably attached to the outer periphery of a door and / or a cylindrical object. The box body can hold items such as keys and parcel size 60, 80, or 100. The mounting location is one of a door, doorknob, gas pipe, fence, or frame, and an adjuster for adjusting the length of the belt is provided. The mounting piece is formed by bending a flat plate into an L-shape, and the belt is made of a thin plate that can be bent. The mounting piece has a connecting hole, and the box body has a connecting portion that corresponds to a fastener that is inserted into the connecting hole and secured. The box body is characterized in that it is equipped with a lock and / or a security camera. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] 1) Mounting fixtures are provided so that the device can be easily attached and detached to the door periphery, doorknob, gas pipe, fence, frame, etc. 2) The mounting fixture is composed of a mounting piece and a belt, so the belt can be used for doors with large thicknesses, and the adjustment tool greatly expands the range of uses. 3) The belt can be bent to fit various door thicknesses, especially for thin plates such as steel plates, and the shape can be fixed, making it easy to use in each room on the same site. 4) By inserting a fixing device with a male screw into the connecting hole of the mounting piece and fixing it to the connecting part with a female screw on the box body, it can be easily attached to doorknobs, gas pipes, fences, frames, etc. In this case, it is desirable that the belt be made of a strong resin or the like. 5) The box itself is small for storing keys and can accommodate sizes 60 (small), 80 (medium), and 100 (large) for storing parcels. 6) By installing a lock or security camera on the box itself, security can be further improved.

[Figure 2]1 is a front view of an article storage box showing a first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] 1 is a diagram showing a first state of use of an article storage box according to a first embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a second state of use of the article storage box according to the first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a side view of an article storage box according to a second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a front view of an article storage box according to a second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] 1 is an item storage box used mainly at various renovation construction sites in apartment buildings and the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes a box body configured to allow various storage boxes to be freely inserted and removed, and is provided with a dial key DK for closing the lid 2a, and a connecting part (female screw) 4 on the back. Reference numeral 3 denotes a mounting fixture having a mounting piece 3a with a connecting hole 3a1 formed by bending a flat plate into an L-shape at the tip of a bendable belt 3b made of a thin plate (steel plate, stainless steel plate, seat belt material, etc.) so that it can be attached and detached to the outer periphery of doors of different thicknesses, gas pipes, etc., and the lower part of the belt 3b is fixed to the back of the box body 2 with screws B (in this embodiment, there are four special triangular holes with security effects that are formed and screwed in with a special tool). The upper part of the belt 3b is fixed to the back surface of the mounting piece 3a with a rivet R.

[0010] An example of how the above-mentioned item storage box 1 is used will now be described. For example, at the renovation work site of an apartment or house, the main contractor will inform the various renovation contractors (carpenters, electricians, housing equipment, etc.) who will be coming and going of the combination lock DK number. Next, to attach the item storage box 1 with the key K (for the door, etc.) already inside to the top or side edge of the door D, place the tip of the attachment piece 3a against the inside of the top edge of the lower door D, pull the belt 3b, and bend it downward at the corner OM at the front tip of the door D to attach it, then close the door D to finish. In this state, the key K stored in the box body 2 is shared and used by each trader by taking it out and putting it back in.

[0011] Next, another example of use of the article storage box 1 will be described. At a construction site or the like, the belt 3b of the key box 1 is bent along the outer periphery of the gas pipe P, and then the lower end of the mounting piece 3a is bent, and the connecting hole 3a1 and the connecting part 4 are aligned and fixed by screwing in a screw B1 similar to the screw B.

[0012] Next, an article storage box 21 according to a second embodiment will be described. The item storage box 21 is provided with a box body 22, a lid 22a, a connecting portion 24, a belt 23b, an attachment piece 23a (connecting hole 23a1), a screw B (B1), and a rivet R1, similar to the item storage box 1, and is provided with an adjustment device 5 for adjusting the length of the belt 23b (two provided on the left and right). In addition, the box body 22 is sized to mainly hold home delivery items, and is available in sizes 60 (small), 80 (medium), and 100 (large), and is equipped with a security camera KM and handle T as needed. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide an electronic key KG and open and close the lid 22a using a smartphone.

[0013] The usage example of the above-mentioned item storage box 21 is basically the same as that of the above-mentioned item storage box 1, but when attaching it to a door, it is important to position it as low as possible, and this is adjusted using the adjustment tool 5, and a protective plate (not shown) made of rubber or the like is provided on the back of the box body 22 to prevent it from damaging the door. The adjustment tool 5 has the same configuration as a buckle function of a belt that is generally available on the market.

[0014] In each of the above-described embodiments, the size and material of the box body may be determined as needed. Furthermore, the material, length, width, etc. of the belt are not particularly limited as long as it has adequate strength and bendability, but thin stainless steel plates and strong resins are preferable. Furthermore, the installation location is not limited to the construction site of the room being renovated, but can be variously considered, such as at home, in an office, in a warehouse, at a construction site, or in various storage facilities. Furthermore, the attachment position is not limited to the outer periphery of the door or the doorknob, and may be any fence to which the belt is attached, or the like. [Explanation of symbols]
