[0009] The present invention will be described below. It should be understood that the terms used in this specification are used in the sense commonly used in the art unless otherwise specified. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. In the event of any conflict, the present specification (including definitions) shall prevail.

[0010] In this specification, the term "about" refers to a range of ±10% of the following number.

[0011] The present invention aims to provide a loading block that can be used to temporarily load heavy objects when transporting them, and that can prevent displacement when stacked like conventional 100mm square blocks, allowing heavy objects to be stably loaded. A mounting block for placing a heavy object thereon, the mounting block comprising a metal box-shaped body having a top surface, side walls, and a bottom surface, The upper surface has a protrusion that can fit into a recess of another mounting block, The above-mentioned problem is solved by providing a mounting block having a first opening in the front wall through which a hand or the claws of a forklift can be inserted.

[0012] The block is then assembled into a box-shaped structure with a convex portion on the top surface that can fit into the concave portion of another block. This allows the block to be securely connected to the other block, preventing misalignment between the stacked blocks and allowing for stable placement of the items. Furthermore, the block can be securely assembled with the simple structure of fitting the convex portion of the block into the concave portion of another block.

[0013] Furthermore, the side wall of the box-shaped body of the mounting block has a first opening through which a hand or the claws of a forklift can be inserted, so unlike conventional square blocks, there is no place to hold onto them and they do not collapse when transported by a forklift, making it possible to easily move the mounting block.

[0014] Therefore, the mounting block of the present invention is a metal box-shaped mounting block for placing heavy objects on it, and has a convex portion on its top surface that can fit into a concave portion of another mounting block, and a first opening on its side wall through which a hand or the claws of a forklift can be inserted, so the remaining configuration can be arbitrary.

[0015] (Placement block) The mounting block is basically a metal box having a top surface, side walls, and a bottom surface, but may also include a rotary table in addition to the box.

[0016] (box-shaped body) It can be any shape, as long as it is a box-like block of metal with a top, four side walls and a bottom.

[0017] For example, it may be a cylindrical body, or a rectangular parallelepiped such as a cube or rectangular hexahedron in which all the rectangular faces are square.

[0018] The metal may be any metal, but in one embodiment, it is made of aluminum, which makes it possible to achieve a good balance between light weight and high strength.

[0019] (Top surface and convex part) The box-shaped body has a protrusion on the top surface that can fit into a recess of another mounting block.

[0020] The shape and number of the protrusions may be any shape as long as they are sized and can be fitted into the recesses of other mounting blocks.

[0021] By providing such a convex portion, it is possible to easily assemble the two firmly by fitting it into the concave portion of another mounting block, preventing misalignment between the two and allowing heavy objects to be placed stably.

[0022] (First opening) It is preferable that one of the four side walls of the box-shaped body has a first opening through which a hand or the claws of a forklift can be inserted. The first opening may be provided in one side wall or in multiple side walls. In the case of inserting a hand, it is preferable that the first opening be provided in each of two opposing side walls. In this way, both hands can be inserted into the first openings, making it possible to easily lift the mounting block. Furthermore, by providing first openings in multiple side walls, the claws of a forklift can be inserted from any direction, making it possible to move the mounting block efficiently.

[0023] (Second opening) It is preferable that one of the four side walls of the box-shaped body has a second opening at a position adjacent to the bottom surface for disengaging the other fitted mounting block.

[0024] The second opening may be provided in one side wall or in multiple side walls. By providing this second opening, when it is difficult to release the engagement with another mounting block, it becomes possible to insert a rod such as a crowbar into this second opening and use the principle of leverage to easily release the engagement with the other mounting block.

[0025] (bottom and recess) The bottom surface of the box-shaped body is preferably provided with recesses that can fit with the protrusions of other mounting blocks. The shape and number of the protrusions can be any shape as long as they can fit with the recesses of other mounting blocks, regardless of size.

[0026] By providing such a recess, it is possible to easily and firmly assemble the two by fitting it with the protrusion of another mounting block, preventing misalignment between the two and allowing heavy objects to be placed stably.

[0027] It is preferable to provide a space on the bottom surface to reduce the weight.

[0028] (Rotation mounting block) A mounting block for rotatably placing heavy objects, which is basically a rotary mounting block for rotatably placing heavy objects, and has a second box-shaped body made of metal having a top surface, side walls and a bottom surface, and a rotating table.

[0029] (rotary table) As long as the table has a rotation axis, the shape of the table may be arbitrary, for example, circular, elliptical, rectangular, or the like.

[0030] It is preferable that the rotary shaft has a first annular recess or a first annular protrusion having a predetermined radius centered on the rotation axis.

[0031] (Second box-shaped body) The basic configuration may be the same as that of the box-shaped body described above, but the second box-shaped body differs from the box-shaped body described above in that it has a through hole into which the rotating shaft of the rotary table can be inserted, and a second annular recess or second annular protrusion on its upper surface that can engage with the first annular protrusion or first annular recess of the rotary table.

[0032] The second box state has a second annular recess or a second annular protrusion on the upper surface that can fit into the first annular protrusion or the first annular recess of the rotary table, allowing the rotary table to rotate more smoothly on the second box-shaped body.

[0033] It is also possible to provide a plurality of first annular recesses or first annular protrusions and a plurality of second annular protrusions or second annular recesses.

[0034] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0035] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mounting block according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] The mounting block (box-shaped body) 100 of this embodiment 1 has a top surface 10, four side walls 20, and a bottom surface 30. The top surface 10 has eight protrusions 11. These protrusions 11 are configured to be able to fit into recesses 31 of other mounting blocks 100. Although the number of protrusions 11 is eight in this embodiment, the number can be any number.

[0037] A first opening 21 is provided in one of the four side walls 20, through which a hand or the claws of a forklift can be inserted. A second opening 22 is provided in a position in contact with the bottom surface 30 of another side wall 20 other than the first opening 21, for disengaging the mounting block 100 from another mounting block 100.

[0038] The mounting block 100 can be firmly attached to the other mounting block 100 by inserting and fitting the recess of the other mounting block into the protrusion 11 formed on the top surface 10. The fitting and coupling of the protrusion 11 of the mounting block 100 and the recess 31 of the other mounting block 100 prevents the two from shifting relative to each other, making it possible to stably place a heavy object on top of them.

[0039] Furthermore, since a first opening 21 is provided in the side wall 20, the loading block 100 can be easily moved to another location by inserting a hand or the claws of a forklift into this first opening 21.

[0040] A second opening 22 is provided in the side wall 20, and by inserting a rod such as a crowbar into this opening 22 and utilizing the principle of leverage, it is possible to easily release the engagement between the firmly joined mounting block 100 and another mounting block.

[0041] 2, a bottom surface 30 of a mounting block (box-shaped body) 100 is provided with a recess 31 that can fit with a protrusion 11 of another mounting block 100. The bottom surface 30 also has a space S to reduce weight.

[0042] By inserting the recess 31 on the bottom surface 30 of the mounting block 100 into another mounting block 100 from above, the recess 31 and the protrusion 11 fit together, making it possible to assemble the mounting block 100 on top of the other mounting block 100. The fit-and-couple of the protrusion 11 and the recess 31 firmly couples them together, preventing them from shifting from each other, and as a result, it becomes possible to stably place a heavy object on top of it.

[0043] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a mounting block according to a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, the mounting block 101 in the first modification does not have a convex portion 11 on the top surface 10, but has a concave portion 31 on the bottom surface 30. This mounting block 101 is the block that is placed on top when assembling one or more mounting blocks 100. By placing this mounting block 101 on top of the mounting blocks 100, the top surface becomes smooth, and it can be placed anywhere on the surface of the mounting block.

[0044] 4A and 4B show a rotary support block 110 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, with Fig. 4A being a bottom view, Fig. 4B being a top view, and Fig. 4C being a side view (cross section). The rotary support block 110 is composed of a circular rotary table 40 and a second box-shaped body 102. The rotary table 40 has a rotary shaft 41 and a first annular convex portion or a first annular concave portion 42 having a predetermined radius centered on the rotary shaft 41.

[0045] The second box-shaped body 102 has a through hole 12 into which the rotating shaft 41 can be inserted, and a second annular recess or second annular protrusion 12 on the upper surface 10 that can engage with the first annular protrusion or first annular recess 42.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 2(c), the second box-shaped body 102 serves as a base, and the rotary shaft 41 of the turntable 40 is inserted into the through-hole 12 from above, thereby making the turntable 40 rotatable on the second box-shaped body 102. Furthermore, by fitting the second annular convex portion or the second annular concave portion 13 of the second box-shaped body 102 with the first annular convex portion or the first annular concave portion 42 of the turntable 40, the turntable 40 can rotate more smoothly on the second box-shaped body 102. As a result, by placing a heavy object on the turntable 40, the heavy object can be rotatably placed thereon.

[0047] The second box-shaped body 102 may have a first opening and a second opening in the side wall 20, similar to the box-shaped body 100.
