[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-24617 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the technology of Patent Document 1, when a hard object such as an aluminum die-cast product is stored in the storage space, friction between the hard object and the partition plate can generate wear powder. Furthermore, the hard object can be damaged when it collides with the partition plate. Furthermore, when a user removes an object from the storage space, the user's hand can be injured by coming into contact with the partition plate.

[0005] Therefore, this specification provides a technology that can prevent the generation of wear powder and damage to the items even when hard items are stored, and can also prevent the user's hands from being injured when the user takes out the stored items. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The partition body disclosed in this specification comprises a plurality of containers capable of holding items, each of which is connected at its side with its opening facing upward, and each of which is made from synthetic leather fabric.

[0007] With this configuration, even if a hard item such as an aluminum die-cast product is stored in the container, the container is made of synthetic leather and has excellent cut resistance, so the generation of wear powder can be suppressed. Also, the container has excellent shock absorption, so the items stored in the container can be prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, the user's hands can be prevented from being injured when removing the items from the container.

[0008] The container may be made from the synthetic leather fabric that has a cross shape when unfolded, and may be formed into a bag shape having the opening from the cross-shaped fabric.

[0009] According to this configuration, even when the partition body is housed in, for example, a container, it is possible to prevent the articles housed in the container from coming into contact with the bottom surface of the container.

[0010] The side surface of the container may include a main body portion and a folded portion that is folded back from the main body portion at the opening and attached to the main body portion.

[0011] According to this configuration, the folded portion can increase the strength of the vicinity of the opening of the container.

[0012] The folded portion may be folded from the main body portion to the outside of the housing.

[0013] This configuration makes it possible to prevent the item from getting caught on the folded portion when the user takes the item out of the container.

[0014] The folded portion may be bonded to the main body portion by hot melt.

[0015] According to this configuration, the folded portion and the main body portion can be firmly attached to each other.

[0016] The fabric of the synthetic leather may include a base material and a synthetic resin coated or bonded to the base material. The base material of the fabric of the folded portion may be bonded to the base material of the fabric of the main body portion.

[0017] According to this configuration, the folded portion and the main body portion can be bonded together more firmly.

[0018] The container may have corners connecting the adjacent side surfaces, and the synthetic leather fabric may be bonded to each other at the corners by ultrasonic welding.

[0019] This configuration can increase the strength of the corners of the container.

[0020] The synthetic leather fabric may include a base material and a synthetic resin coated or bonded to the base material. At the corners, the synthetic resins of the synthetic leather fabric may be bonded to each other.

[0021] This configuration allows the synthetic leather fabrics to be firmly bonded together at the corners. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] [Figure 1] FIG. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] Cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 taken along line III-III. [Figure 4] IV-IV cross section of Figure 3. [Figure 5] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] A partition body 10 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the partition body 10 includes a plurality of containers 2. The partition body 10 is used, for example, in a state where it is contained in a plastic container 9 for transportation. Note that Figs. 1 and 2 show the container 9 and the partition body 10 with parts removed to facilitate understanding.

[0024] The multiple containers 2 are arranged side by side with their openings 20 facing upward. In this embodiment, ten containers 2 are arranged in a matrix of two rows and five columns. Containers 2 adjacent in the vertical direction (row direction) or horizontal direction (column direction) are connected to each other. Adjacent containers 2 are connected by, for example, adhesive, adhesive tape, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc. Each container 2 is configured to be able to store an item M. The item M is, for example, an automobile part such as an EGR valve made of aluminum die-cast product, but is not limited to this.

[0025] An individual container 2 will now be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the container 2 has a bottom surface portion 24, side surfaces 22, and an opening 20. The bottom surface portion 24 supports the item M contained in the container 2. The side surfaces 22 are connected to the peripheral edge of the bottom surface portion 24 and extend upward. The side surfaces 22 surround the item M contained in the container 2. The opening 20 opens upward at the upper end of the side surfaces 22.

[0026] The container 2 is made from a synthetic leather fabric 3. The synthetic leather fabric 3 is formed by applying or bonding a synthetic resin 34 to a base material 32. The base material 32 is made from a base fabric selected from knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, etc. The synthetic resin 34 can be polyurethane resin or polyvinyl chloride. The container 2 is made so that the base material 32 side of the synthetic leather fabric 3 faces the outside of the container 2, and the synthetic resin 34 side of the fabric 3 faces the inside of the container 2.

[0027] The side surface portion 22 of the housing body 2 includes a main body portion 25 and a folded portion 26 folded back from the main body portion 25. The main body portion 25 extends upward from the peripheral edge of the bottom surface portion 24 of the housing body 2. The folded portion 26 is folded back from the upper end of the main body portion 25 to the outside of the housing body 2. The folded portion 26 is formed by folding back the synthetic leather fabric 3 that forms the side surface portion 22 at the opening 20. The lower end 263 of the folded portion 26 is located above the midpoint P in the height direction of the side surface portion 22. The height h26 of the folded portion 26 is, for example, half (½) or less of the height h22 of the side surface portion 22. The height h26 of the folded portion 26 may be one-third or less of the height h22 of the side surface portion 22.

[0028] The folded portion 26 is bonded to the main body portion 25. A back surface 262 of the folded portion 26 is bonded to an outer surface 252 of the main body portion 25. The back surface 262 of the folded portion 26 and the outer surface 252 of the main body portion 25 are both made of a base material 32 of synthetic leather fabric 3. The folded portion 26 is bonded to the main body portion 25 by, for example, hot melt. Hot melt is an adhesive bonding method that uses a hot melt adhesive. A hot melt adhesive is an adhesive that is solid at room temperature, becomes liquid when heated, and becomes solid again when cooled. The folded portion 26 is bonded to the main body portion 25 at multiple adhesive joints 60 (for example, two joints). A hot melt adhesive is used at the multiple adhesive joints 60.

[0029] The surface 261 of the folded portion 26 is made of synthetic resin 34 of the synthetic leather fabric 3. The surface 261 of the folded portion 26 faces the outside of the housing body 2. When multiple housing bodies 2 are connected, the surfaces 261 of the folded portions 26 of adjacent housing bodies 2, 2 are connected to each other. The surfaces 261 of adjacent folded portions 26, 26 are connected to each other by, for example, adhesive, adhesive tape, hook-and-loop fastener, etc.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 4, the container 2 has a plurality of (for example, four) corners 28. The corners 28 connect adjacent side surfaces 22, 22. The corners 28 are formed by bonding together pieces of fabric 3 extending from adjacent side surfaces 22, 22. At the corners 28, the synthetic resin 34 of the synthetic leather fabric 3 is bonded together by, for example, ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding is a method of bonding thermoplastic resin using ultrasonic waves, in which the thermoplastic resin is melted and bonded by applying ultrasonic vibrations while applying pressure to the thermoplastic resin.

[0031] Next, the fabrication of the container 2 will be described. FIG. 5 is a development view of the container 2. When developed, the container 2 has a cross shape. The container 2 is fabricated from a cross-shaped synthetic leather fabric 3. The cross-shaped fabric 3 has a central portion 40, a plurality of first protrusions 42 protruding from the central portion 40 in all directions, and a plurality of second protrusions 44 protruding from each of the first protrusions 42. The fabric 3 also has a pair of bonding portions (first bonding portion 50a and second bonding portion 50b) protruding laterally from each of the first protrusions 42.

[0032] The central portion 40 of the synthetic leather fabric 3 forms the bottom surface 24 of the container 2 (see Figures 1 to 4). The first protrusion 42 of the fabric 3 forms the main body 25 of the side surface 22 of the container 2. The second protrusion 44 of the fabric 3 forms the folded-back portion 26 of the side surface 22 of the container 2. The bonded portions 50a, 50b of the fabric 3 form the corners 28 of the container 2. The container 2 is formed by assembling the cross-shaped fabric 3 into a bag shape. When the synthetic leather fabric 3 is assembled into a bag shape, the first bonded portion 50a and the second bonded portion 50b protruding from adjacent first bonded portions 42 are bonded together by ultrasonic welding. Furthermore, when the container 2 is formed, the second bonded portion 44 of the fabric 3 is folded back to the outside of the container 2 and bonded to the first bonded portion 42.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the partition 10 further includes a plurality of supports 7 surrounding the plurality of containers 2. Each support 7 is attached to a side surface 22 of the plurality of containers 2. Some of the supports 7 are arranged between the plurality of containers 2 and a transport container 9. Other supports 7 are arranged between adjacent containers 2, 2. In a modified example, the supports 7 may not be arranged between adjacent containers 2, 2, but may be arranged only between the plurality of containers 2 and the container 9. The plurality of supports 7 are attached to the plurality of containers 2 to support the plurality of containers 2. Each support 7 is made of, for example, foamed polyethylene fabric.

[0034] (effect) The above describes the partition 10 of the embodiment. As is clear from the above description, the partition 10 includes a plurality of containers 2 capable of containing items M, and the plurality of containers 2 are connected at their side surfaces 22 with their openings 20 facing upward, and each is made of synthetic leather fabric 3.

[0035] According to this configuration, even when a hard object M such as an aluminum die-cast product is stored in the container 2, the container 2 has excellent cutting resistance because it is made of synthetic leather fabric 3, and therefore the generation of wear powder can be suppressed. Furthermore, the container 2 has excellent shock absorption properties, and therefore the object M stored in the container 2 can be suppressed from being damaged. Furthermore, when a user takes out the object M from the container 2, the user's hand can be prevented from coming into contact with the partition plate, and thus the user's hand can be prevented from being damaged.

[0036] The container 2 is formed into a bag shape from fabric 3 that has a cross shape when unfolded. With this configuration, even when the partition 10 is contained in, for example, a container 9, it is possible to prevent the articles M contained in the container 2 from coming into contact with the bottom surface of the container 9.

[0037] The side surface portion 22 of the container 2 includes a main body portion 25 and a folded portion 26 that is folded back from the main body portion 25 at the opening 20 and attached to the main body portion 25. With this configuration, the folded portion 26 can increase the strength of the container 2 near the opening 20. The folded portion 26 is folded back from the main body portion 25 to the outside of the container 2. With this configuration, when a user takes out the item M from the container 2, the item M can be prevented from getting caught on the folded portion 26.

[0038] Folded portion 26 is bonded to main body portion 25 with hot melt. This configuration allows folded portion 26 and main body portion 25 to be firmly bonded together. Furthermore, base material 32 of fabric 3 of folded portion 26 is bonded to base material 32 of fabric 3 of main body portion 25. This configuration allows folded portion 26 and main body portion 25 to be bonded together even more firmly.

[0039] At corners 28 of the housing body 2, the synthetic leather fabric 3 is bonded together by ultrasonic welding. This configuration can increase the strength of corners 28 of the housing body 2. Furthermore, at corners 28, the synthetic resin 34 of the fabric 3 is bonded together. This configuration can firmly bond the fabric 3 together at corners 28.

The technology described in the claims includes various modifications and variations of the specific examples exemplified above. The technical elements described in this specification or drawings exhibit technical utility alone or in various combinations, and are not limited to the combinations described in the claims at the time of filing. Furthermore, the technology exemplified in this specification or drawings can achieve multiple objectives simultaneously, and achieving one of these objectives itself has technical utility.
