DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] (First embodiment) The private box according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a private box 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, showing the state of use. The private box 10 functions as a temporary toilet device in the event of a disaster, for example. The private box 10 includes a box body 100 and an object 50 to be housed in the box body 100. The box body 100 includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, and a connecting portion 4. As shown in FIG. 4, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are connected via a connecting part 4 so as to be openable and closable.

[0010] The first housing 1 is made of resin and includes a first main surface portion 12 and a first side wall portion 11. The first main surface portion 12 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. Protrusions 13 that protrude outward in the thickness direction (upward in the height direction H when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed) are provided at four corners of the outer surface of the first main surface portion 12. In addition, first sidewall portions 11 are integrally provided at both ends of the first main surface portion 12 in the width direction W. The first side wall 11 is provided only at the other end D2 (shown in FIG. 4(B)) in the longitudinal direction of the first main surface portion 12, among both ends in the width direction W. That is, at both ends in the width direction W of the first main surface portion 12, the first side wall 11 is provided at the other end D2, and the first side wall 11 is not provided at the one end D1. In other words, the first side wall 11 extends from the tip (other end) in the longitudinal direction of the first main surface portion 12 toward the one end D1 to a position halfway along the entire length in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is the depth direction D when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed. The first side wall portion 11 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and the apex portion on the base end (one end) side in the length direction is formed in an R-shape. Furthermore, the tip (other end) of the first main surface portion 12 in the length direction is not provided with anything that will serve as a short side wall portion.

[0011] The second housing 2 is made of resin and includes a second main surface portion 22 and a second side wall portion 21. The second main surface portion 22 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate of the same size as the first main surface portion 12. Recesses 23 that recess inward in the thickness direction (upward in the height direction H when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed) are provided at four corners of the outer surface portion of the second main surface portion 22. These recesses 23 have shapes complementary to the protrusions 13 and are adapted to fit into the protrusions 13 provided on the other box main body portion 100. In addition, second sidewall portions 21 are integrally provided at both ends of the second main surface portion 22 in the width direction W.

[0012] The second side wall 21 is provided only at one end D1 (shown in FIG. 4B) in the longitudinal direction of the second main surface portion 22 among both ends in the width direction W. That is, at both ends in the width direction W of the second main surface portion 22, the second side wall 21 is provided at one end D1, and the second side wall 21 is not provided at the other end D2. In other words, the second side wall 21 extends from the base end (one end) in the longitudinal direction of the second main surface portion 22 toward the other end D2 to a position halfway along the entire length in the longitudinal direction. Note that the longitudinal direction is the depth direction D when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed. The second side wall 21 is formed in a rectangular plate shape similar to the first side wall 11, and the vertex on the tip end (other end) side in the longitudinal direction is formed in an R-shape. With this configuration, when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 21 are arranged adjacent to each other in the lengthwise direction and flush with each other, forming a side wall 120 (shown in FIG. 4(B)) of the box main body 100. The side wall 120 functions as the long side wall of the box main body 100 when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, and is formed by the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 21.

[0013] A rectangular plate-shaped tip side wall portion 24 is integrally provided at the tip (other end) in the longitudinal direction of the second main surface portion 22. The tip side wall portion 24 stands perpendicular to the second main surface portion 22. Furthermore, a rectangular plate-shaped base end side wall 25 is integrally provided at the base end (one end) in the longitudinal direction of the second main surface 22. The base end side wall 25 stands perpendicular to the second main surface 22. The tip end side wall 24 and the base end side wall 25 are configured as an open / close end side wall 121 (shown in FIG. 4(B)) of the box main body 100 when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed. The open / close end side wall 121 functions as a short side wall of the box main body 100 when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, and is configured by the tip end side wall 24 and the base end side wall 25. In other words, the side wall of the box main body 100 is configured by a pair of side side walls 120 that serve as long side walls and a pair of open / close end side walls 121 that serve as short side walls. The interior (inner space) defined by the pair of side wall portions 120 and the pair of open / close end side wall portions 121 serves as a storage portion B. The connecting portion 4 includes a hinge portion and connects the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 so as to be able to open and close. The connecting portion 4 is provided at one end in the length direction of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, and is configured to open and close the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 with one end of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 as the center of rotation and the other end as the rotation end.

[0014] The object to be stored 50 can be stored in the storage section B, and includes a toilet section 51 and a cover section 52. The toilet section 51 can be accommodated in the accommodation section B and is installed on the second main surface section 22. The toilet section 51 includes a toilet seat and an opening / closing lid, and can be used as a toilet by a user. The cover portion 52 includes a detachable pole portion 52A, a foldable cover main body portion 52B, and a door portion 52C. The pole portion 52A comprises a plurality of rod-shaped members made of metal. These rod-shaped members are detachably connected in the longitudinal direction. The pole portion 52A stands upright in a column shape outside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 when in use. The cover main body 52B is made of a fabric material, and is attached to the pole 52A that stands upright in a pillar shape when in use, so as to cover the periphery of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The door portion 52C is made of a fabric material and is attached to the cover main body portion 52B so as to be able to open and close when in use. When in use, the pole portion 52A, cover main body portion 52B and door portion 52C are removed from the storage portion B and installed as a cover to cover the private room usage portion A, and when in storage, they are closed, folded and stored in the storage portion B. First housing 1 and second housing 2 are transportable with toilet section 51, pole section 52A, cover main body section 52B, and door section 52C stored in storage section B. "Portable" means that the device can be carried by a person or machine, and more specifically, that the device is designed to be carried by a person or machine.

[0015] Next, how to use the private box 10 in the first embodiment will be described. First, the operation when storing the private box 10 will be described. With toilet unit 51 installed on second main surface 22, the opening / closing lid of toilet unit 51 is closed. Then, pole unit 52A is removed to gather the multiple rod-shaped members, and cover body unit 52B and door unit 52C are folded. Toilet unit 51 and cover unit 52 are placed on second main surface 22. The first housing 1 is then closed with the connecting portion 4 as the rotation center. The first housing 1 is then closed until the first main surface portion 12 and the second main surface portion 22 are parallel and face each other. As shown in FIG. 4B , the first side wall portion 11 and the second side wall portion 21 are flush with each other and adjacent in the length direction (depth direction D), functioning as side wall portions 120 of the box main body 100. The distal end side wall portion 24 and the proximal end side wall portion 25 function as opening / closing end side wall portions 121 of the box main body 100. The first main surface portion 12, the second main surface portion 22, the side wall portion 120, and the opening / closing end side wall portion 121 define a storage section B as a storage space within the housing. The toilet portion 51 and the cover portion 52 are then housed in the storage section B.

[0016] In this way, when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the box main body 100 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the storage section B inside, and the item 50 is stored in the storage section B. In this state, the box main body 100 is transported from the installation location to the storage location. In the storage location, multiple box bodies 100 are stacked one on top of the other. That is, with the second main surface 22 serving as the bottom surface and the first main surface 12 serving as the top surface, one box body 100 is stacked on the first main surface 12 of another box body 100 with the orientation of the other box body 100 aligned. Then, the convex portion 13 of one box body 100 fits into the concave portion 23 of the other box body 100. This allows the box bodies 100 to be easily positioned when stacked.

[0017] Next, the operation when using the private box 10 will be described. The private box 10 stored in the storage location is removed while still in its rectangular parallelepiped shape. At this time, the necessary items 50 are stored in the storage section B of the box main body 100. The removed private box 10, with the items 50 stored therein, is then transported to the installation location. At the installation location, the box is placed with the second main surface 22 facing downwards to form the bottom. Then, as shown in FIG. 4(A), the first housing 1 is opened. When the first housing 1 is opened vertically, the rotation area between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 becomes an open space. This open space becomes the private room usage area A. At this time, the area of the side wall 120 where the first side wall 11 was located is opened, and the side of the other end D2 of the box main body 100 becomes an entry / exit space E. A user can enter or exit the private room usage area A through this entry / exit space E. 1, toilet section 51 is installed at a predetermined position on the upper surface of second main surface section 22. Then, pole section 52A is connected in a columnar shape, and cover body section 52B and door section 52C are attached to pole section 52A. In this state, cover section 52 is installed around box body section 100. As a result, box body section 100 is disposed inside cover section 52, and box body section 100 and private room usage section A are covered by cover section 52. In this way, the private box 10 is used as a temporary toilet device.

[0018] As described above, according to the private box 10 of the first embodiment, when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the storage section B can be left accommodating the item 50 while being transported, and when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are opened, the private box is opened as the private use section A. Therefore, not only can the item 50 be stored in the storage section B during storage, but when in use, the item 50 can be transported to the installation location while still stored in the storage section B. Therefore, storage and transportation can be performed quickly and easily. Moreover, with the second main surface portion 22 installed at the installation location, the box main body 100 can be quickly installed by simply opening the first housing 1. Furthermore, with the first housing 1 installed at the installation location, the box can be configured into a box shape with the stored object 50 housed therein by simply closing the first housing 1, and the box main body 100 can be quickly transported from the installation location to a storage location.

[0019] Furthermore, when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 21 are adjacent in the lengthwise direction to form the side wall of the box main body 100, so that the storage section B, which serves as a storage space, can be quickly and easily provided. Furthermore, when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are opened, the first side wall 11 moves to open the original area, so that an entry / exit space E can be provided at the other end D2 of the second main surface 22, improving convenience during use. Furthermore, since the tip side wall portion 24 is provided at the other end D2 of the second main surface portion 22, the other end D2 of the first main surface portion 12 can be opened during use, making it easier for users to approach the toilet portion 51 when using it, thereby improving convenience. Furthermore, since the tip side wall portion 24 can be provided on the installation surface during use, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering the private room usage portion A while ensuring an entry and exit space E for users, and it is possible to protect the area below the private room usage portion A from the outside.

[0020] Furthermore, since the protrusions 13 and the recesses 23 are provided, when stacking the box bodies 100, not only can the box bodies 100 be easily positioned so that their orientations and positions are aligned, but the stacked state can also be maintained. Furthermore, since the recesses 23 are provided in the second main surface 22, when the second main surface 22 is placed on an installation surface, the second main surface 22 can be in surface contact with the installation surface, preventing deformation of the second main surface 22 when a user stands on it, thereby improving convenience for the user. Furthermore, since the stored item 50 is provided with a toilet section 51, the private box 10 can be used as a temporary toilet device. Furthermore, since the box main body 100 can be stacked, by stacking a plurality of box main bodies 100 during storage, it is possible to improve the efficiency of storage space. Furthermore, since the vertices of the first side wall portion 11 and the second side wall portion 21 are formed in an R-shape, not only can the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 be easily rotated, but cracks and chips can also be prevented.

[0021] Although the first side wall portion 11 and the second side wall portion 21 are formed in a rectangular plate shape, the shape is not limited to this and the configuration can be changed as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , the length dimension L11 of the tip end 111 of the first side wall 11 in the height direction H is shorter than the length dimension L12 of the base end 112 in the height direction H. That is, the first side wall 11 is formed in a convex shape extending in the height direction H. Similarly, the length dimension L21 of the tip end 211 of the second side wall 21 is shorter than the length dimension L22 of the base end 212. That is, the second side wall 21 is formed in a convex shape extending in the height direction H. The first side wall 11 and the second side wall 21 have complementary shapes and are arranged adjacent to each other and flush when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed. This not only prevents cracks and chips when an external force in the width direction W is applied to the first side wall portion 11 or the second side wall portion 21 during use, thereby improving durability, but also widens the entry and exit space E, thereby improving convenience for users.

[0022] 6, the edges of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 21 may be curved. That is, the apex of the distal end 111 of the first side wall 11 on the base end (one end) side in the longitudinal direction and the end of the proximal end 112 on the base end (one end) side in the longitudinal direction are formed in an R-shape, and an adjacent line portion 113 extending from these apexes to the end via a continuous line portion is continuously curved in an S-shape. The adjacent line portion 113 refers to the portion of the edge of the first side wall 11 that is adjacent to the second housing 2. Similarly, the vertex portion of the tip portion 211 of the second side wall portion 21 on the tip (other end) side in the longitudinal direction and the end portion of the base portion 212 on the tip (other end) side in the longitudinal direction are formed in an R-shape, and the adjacent line portion 213 extending from these vertices to the end portion via the continuous line portion is formed into a continuous S-shaped curve. The first side wall portion 11 and the second side wall portion 21 have complementary shapes, and when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, the adjacent line portion 113 and the adjacent line portion 213 are adjacent in the longitudinal direction. This not only prevents cracks or chips when an external force in the width direction W is applied to the first side wall portion 11 or the second side wall portion 21 during use, thereby improving durability, but also widens the entry / exit space E, improving user convenience. Also, misalignment can be tolerated when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are closed, making it easy to open and close the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. Furthermore, the design can be improved.

[0023] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 shows a private box 10A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. This embodiment and the first embodiment have the same basic configuration, and the differences will be mainly described here. The private box 10A includes a box main body 100A, and the box main body 100A includes a first housing 1A and a second housing 2A. The longitudinal dimensions of the first housing 1A and the second housing 2A are set to be longer than those of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 of the first embodiment. The first housing 1A includes a first side wall portion 11A. The first side wall portion 11A is provided over the entire length of the first main surface portion 12. The second housing 2 does not have a second side wall portion.

[0024] With this configuration, the private box 10A is placed upright at the installation location as shown in Fig. 7(B). Then, as shown in Fig. 7(A), the second housing 2A is opened and the second main surface 22 is placed on the installation surface. Furthermore, the stored object 50 is placed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. This not only achieves the same effects as the first embodiment, but also makes it possible to widen the entry / exit space E, improving user convenience. Also, the second housing 2A can be made lighter, making it easier to open and close the second housing 2A.

[0025] (Third embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 shows a private box 10B according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 8, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. This embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first and second embodiments, and the differences will be mainly described here. The private box 10B includes a box main body 100B, and the box main body 100B includes a first housing 1B and a second housing 2B. The first housing 1B and the second housing 2B are connected at the other end in the length direction by a connecting part 4 so as to be openable and closable. The first housing 1B is formed in a triangular prism shape. A first side wall 11B is provided on the first main surface 12. The first side wall 11B is formed in the shape of a right-angled triangular plate over the entire length of the first main surface 12 in the longitudinal direction. The second housing 2B is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate, and does not have any side walls.

[0026] With this configuration, as shown in Fig. 8(B), the private box 10B is placed at the installation location with the first main surface 12 facing the bottom. Then, as shown in Fig. 8(A), the second housing 2B is opened and the second main surface 22 is placed on the installation surface. Furthermore, the contained object 50 is placed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. This not only achieves the same effects as the first and second embodiments, but also makes it possible to widen the entry / exit space E, improving user convenience. Also, the second housing 2B can be made lighter, facilitating the opening and closing operation of the second housing 2B. Furthermore, the storage section B can be provided without providing a tip side wall portion of the opening / closing end side wall portion 121, thereby achieving weight reduction. Furthermore, with the first housing 1B and the second housing 2B closed, the first main surface portion 12 can be placed on the floor and the housings can be stacked alternately on top of each other, thereby improving the storage space efficiency.

[0027] (Fourth embodiment) Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 9 shows a private box 10C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 9, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. This embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first to third embodiments, and the differences will be mainly described here. The private box 10C includes a box main body 100C, which includes a first housing 1C and a second housing 2C. The first housing 1C and the second housing 2C are adapted to open and close about a rotation axis that is oriented in the vertical direction. The first housing 1C includes a first main surface portion 12C, a first side wall portion 11C, and a base end side wall portion 13C. The first main surface portion 12C is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and a first side wall portion 11C is provided at one end portion in the width direction W. The first side wall portion 11C is formed in a rectangular plate shape. A connecting portion 4 is provided at the other end of the first side wall portion 11C in the depth direction D over the entire length in the height direction H. A base end side wall portion 13C in the shape of a rectangular plate is provided across the first main surface portion 12C and the first side wall portion 11C.

[0028] The second housing 2C includes a tip sidewall portion 24C, a second sidewall portion 21C, and a second main surface portion 22C. The distal side wall portion 24C is configured to have the same size and shape as the proximal side wall portion 13C and is provided so as to be openable and closable over the entire length of the first side wall portion 11C via the connecting portion 4. A rectangular plate-shaped second main surface portion 22C is provided at the upper end of the distal side wall portion 24C. Furthermore, a second side wall portion 21C is provided at the open end of the distal side wall portion 24C over the entire length in the height direction H. The second side wall portion 21C is configured to have the same size and shape as the first side wall portion 11C.

[0029] With this configuration, as shown in Fig. 9(B), the private box 10C is placed upright at the installation location with the first main surface 12C facing the bottom. Then, as shown in Fig. 9(A), the second housing 2C is opened and installed so that the first side wall 11C and the tip side wall 24C are flush with each other. Then, the stored item 50 is installed in a predetermined position. This not only provides the same effects as those of the first to third embodiments, but also makes the private room area A larger, improving convenience for users.

[0030] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, although the tip side wall 24 is provided on the second housing 2, 2A, this is not limitative and the configuration can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, the tip side wall 24 may be provided on the first housing 1, 1A, or the tip side wall 24 may not be provided. In addition, the height dimension of the tip side wall portion 24 may be shortened, and the first housing 1, 1A may also be provided with a tip side wall portion with a short height dimension, so that when the first housing 1, 1A and the second housing 2, 2A are closed, the tip side wall portions 24 are adjacent to each other and arranged flush.

[0031] Furthermore, although the protrusion 13 and the recess 23 are provided, this is not limiting and the configuration can be changed as appropriate. For example, the protrusion 13 and the recess 23 may extend in the width direction W or the depth direction D, and the installation position and location can also be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the protrusion 13 may be provided in the second housing 2 or the like, and the recess 23 may be provided in the first housing 1 or the like. Furthermore, the protrusion 13 and the recess 23 do not have to be provided. Although the first side wall portion 11 and the second side wall portion 21 are provided, the present invention is not limited to this and the number, installation position, shape, etc. of the provided side wall portions can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, although the first side wall portion 11 and the second side wall portion 21 are provided adjacent to each other, the present invention is not limited to this and the provided side wall portions can be spaced apart.

[0032] Furthermore, although the contained item 50 is described as having a toilet section 51, this is not limited thereto, and the configuration can be changed as appropriate. For example, if the contained item 50 is provided with a shower section, the private box can be used as a shower private box. Alternatively, if the contained item 50 is provided with a desk or chair, the private box can be used as a working space device. Furthermore, the contained item 50 does not necessarily have to be provided. Furthermore, although the box bodies 100, 100A, 100B, and 100C are made of resin, the material is not limited to resin and may be changed as appropriate. For example, the box bodies 100, 100A, 100B, and 100C may be made of metal, wood, paper, or other materials.

[0033] Furthermore, although the box main bodies 100, 100A, and 100C are described as having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the shape is not limited to this and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the box main bodies 100, 100A, and 100C may be cubic, polygonal, circular, or other shapes. This private box can be used not only in the event of a disaster, but also in non-disaster situations, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. It goes without saying that a private room does not only refer to a space used by one person, but also to a space used by multiple people.
