[0003] Patent Document 1 Utility Model Registration No. 3206723 Summary of the Invention Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the storage case as described above, when the folded storage section is folded, writing instruments may collide with each other, which may cause scratches. In addition, when the folded storage section is in an opened state, the folded storage section protrudes from the main body, which causes a problem of poor appearance and poor neatness. Furthermore, there was also a problem that folding the storage section takes time and effort.

[0005] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pen case that allows stored writing instruments to be displayed attractively. Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] The present invention comprises a container-shaped main body having an elongated shape in plan view with an upper opening formed at the top, and having a bottom and side walls continuous to the bottom, and an opening / closing lid connected to one of the longitudinal side walls of the main body that are opposite to each other, and which can open or close the upper opening of the main body, and a sheet-like partition portion is disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the main body, with one end connected to the other side wall opposite to the one side wall to which the opening / closing lid portion is connected, or to the part of the bottom that is on the other side wall side, and on one side of the partition portion, a plurality of writing instruments can be held on that side and the plurality of writing instruments can be arranged in parallel The pen case is characterized in that it has a writing instrument holding section arranged in a certain manner, the partition section can be selectively converted between a storage state in which it is housed within the main body and a display state in which the other end protrudes from the upper opening of the main body, in the storage state the partition section is folded and housed within the main body, and in the display state the partition section is unfolded so that one side faces upward, making the writing instruments held in the writing instrument holding section visible from the outside, and the other end of the partition section is placed on the opening / closing lid section with the upper opening open.

[0007] In this configuration, the partition, which is in a display state, is positioned above the main body and the unfolded lid. For example, writing instruments arranged in a row can be displayed on top of the pen case, emphasizing the sense of unity between the writing instruments and the pen case, making it look even better and stimulating the desire to own it. Furthermore, since all the writing instruments to be stored can be arranged on a single pen case within the combined width of the short side of the main body and the short side of the lid, there is the advantage of making the writing instruments look spectacular. In addition, although the partition is folded when the writing instruments are stored, causing them to overlap vertically, if the partition is folded so that the writing instrument holder faces outwards, the writing instruments can be stored inside the main body without interfering with each other. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The pen case of the present invention has the excellent effect of allowing the stored writing instruments to be displayed in an aesthetically pleasing manner. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] This is an explanatory diagram showing an overview of the vertical cross-section of a pen case with the partition section according to the embodiment in a display state. [Figure 4] This is an explanatory diagram showing an overview of the vertical cross-section of a pen case with the partition section according to the embodiment in a stored state. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The following describes in detail embodiments of the pen case of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown below, and design modifications can be made as appropriate.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the pen case 1 has a long, box-shaped main body 10 in plan view, with an upper opening 11 formed at the top.

[0012] Furthermore, in the main body 10, an opening / closing lid 20 is connected to one of the longitudinal side walls 12 and 13, which are formed to rise continuously from the bottom and face each other. The lid 20 can be opened or closed relative to the main body 10 by a wire fastener (not shown) arranged along the opening edge of the upper opening 11. However, the opening / closing lid may be opened and closed by other means instead of the wire fastener.

[0013] Inside the main body 10, one end of a sheet-like partition 30 is connected to the other side wall 13, which faces the side wall 12 to which the opening / closing lid 20 is connected. More specifically, the partition 30 is formed by a flexible soft part 31 connected to the main body 10, and a first sheet part 32 and a second sheet part 33 made of a harder material than the soft part 31, which are formed continuously with each other. The second sheet part 33 is bendable at its boundary with the first sheet part 32.

[0014] Here, one end of the partition portion 30 is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the main body portion 10 as described above, and the end 34 of the second sheet portion 33, which is the other end of the partition portion 30, corresponds to the tip of the partition portion 30 and is a so-called free end.

[0015] Furthermore, on one side of the first sheet portion 32 and the second sheet portion 33 of the partition portion 30, writing instrument holding portions 35 and 36 are formed to hold multiple writing instruments P in parallel on that side.

[0016] The partition 30 is designed to be selectively switchable between a storage state α, in which it is housed within the main body 10, and a display state β, in which its other end 34 protrudes from the upper opening 11 of the main body 10.

[0017] In other words, in the storage state α shown in Figures 2 and 4, the partition 30 is folded along the boundary between the first sheet section 32 and the second sheet section 33 and stored inside the main body section 10. With the partition 30 in the storage state α, the opening / closing lid section 20 can close the upper opening 11 of the main body section 10 with a wire fastener (not shown). Also, in the storage state α, the writing instrument holder section 35 held in the first sheet section 32 and the writing instrument holder section 36 held in the second sheet section 33 face opposite each other, so that the stored writing instruments P do not come into contact with each other, preventing damage to the writing instruments P from interfering with each other.

[0018] Further, in the appreciation state β shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the partition portion 30 is deployed, and one side surfaces of the first sheet portion 32 and the second sheet portion 33 on which the writing instrument holding portions 35 and 36 are arranged face upward, whereby the writing instruments P held by the writing instrument holding portions 35 and 36 become visible from the outside. Furthermore, the other end 34 of the partition portion 30 is placed without protruding from the opening / closing lid portion 20 in a state where the upper opening 11 is opened. In such appreciation state β, the first sheet portion 32 and the second sheet portion 33 do not protrude from the main body portion 10 and the opening / closing lid portion 20 in a plan view, so that all the writing instruments P can be neatly arranged on the pen case 1 as a whole and can be visually recognized.

[0019] The material constituting each part is not particularly limited, but it is preferably made of cloth or leather from the viewpoint of appearance. In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing damage to the writing instruments P held in the first sheet portion 32, the second sheet portion 33, and the writing instrument holding portions 35 and 36, it is preferably made of cloth or leather. Further, in the drawings, the main body portion 10, the opening / closing lid portion 20 and the like are shown as simple shapes for easy understanding, but it is of course possible to adopt elaborately designed shapes.
