[0019] Hereinafter, a delivery box X according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. Note that the embodiment described below is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. Furthermore, the components of the delivery box X and the materials, shapes, dimensions, number, and arrangement of the components may be modified within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.

[0020] In this specification, "front" refers to the position in the space where the delivery box X is installed where a user places packages in and out when using the box, and "rear" refers to the side opposite the front. The depth direction refers to the direction connecting the front and rear. The left-right direction refers to the left and right when looking at the delivery box X from the front. The height direction refers to the direction perpendicular to both the depth direction and the left-right direction. The bottom surface refers to the surface facing the ground.

[0021] The term "approximately" in this specification is a concept that includes shapes that have been chamfered or rounded, and elements that make up the shape that have been deformed or changed in length within a range that does not impede the purpose of the shape.

[0022] <Configuration> As shown in FIG. 2, the delivery box X includes a box-forming body 1 having an internal space S, a support body 2, and a flap 3.

[0023] <<Box Construct>> As shown in FIG. 2 or 3, the box component 1 has a wall portion 11, a bottom portion 12, a lid portion 13, and opening / closing means 14 provided on the wall portion 11 and the lid portion 13.

[0024] The wall portion 11 includes a front wall portion 111, a rear wall portion 112 facing the front wall portion 111, a left side wall portion 113 connected to the front wall portion 111 and the rear wall portion 112, and a right side wall portion 114 connected to the front wall portion 111 and the rear wall portion 112 so as to face the left side wall portion 113.

[0025] The front wall 111, the rear wall 112, the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114 are constructed by laminating an aluminum vapor deposition fabric, a heat insulating material, a reinforcing plate and a waterproof fabric. Similarly, the bottom 12 and the lid 13 are also constructed by laminating an aluminum-coated fabric, a heat insulating material, a reinforcing plate, and a waterproof fabric.

[0026] The multi-layer structure of the wall 11, bottom 12 and lid 13 is preferably arranged in the order of aluminum vapor deposition fabric, heat insulating material, reinforcing plate and waterproof fabric from the internal space S side to the external space side. This suppresses deformation of the wall portion 11, improves the heat retention of the delivery items stored in the internal space S, and prevents rainwater and moisture from entering the internal space S from the outside.

[0027] A plate insertion section P1 is provided on the wall section 11. A user can insert a thin plate or piece of paper with any information written on it into the plate insertion section P1 in order to communicate with a delivery person or the like. In this embodiment, the plate insertion portion P1 is provided on the front wall portion 111, but it may also be provided on the rear wall portion 112, the left side wall portion 113, or the right side wall portion 114. The material of the plate insertion portion P1 is a polypropylene sheet, but is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent material.

[0028] The plate insertion portion P1 includes an upper side P11 located on the lid portion 13 side, a lower side P12 opposite to the upper side P11, a left side P13, and a right side P14.

[0029] An insertion opening is provided on the right side P14.

[0030] The insertion slot is provided along the right side P14 and is inclined so that the length of the bottom side P12 is shorter than the length of the top side P11. This makes it difficult for rainwater, dust, and the like to enter the plate insertion portion P1, and prevents the plate from getting wet or dirty.

[0031] The rear wall 112 is provided with a pocket R. This makes it possible to store documents such as receipts in the internal space S separately from parcels.

[0032] The left side wall 113 includes a fold d1. Similarly, the right side wall portion 114 includes a fold line d2.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4( a ), the left side wall portion 113 is formed in a generally trapezoidal shape with the upper side being the oblique side when viewed from the side, and has an upward slope from the front wall portion 111 to the rear wall portion 112 . Similarly, the right side wall portion 114 (not shown) is formed in the same shape as the left side wall portion 113 and has the same slope as the left side wall portion 113.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4(b), the bottom portion 12 includes a fold d3.

[0035] The bottom 12 is provided with a plurality of bottom studs 121. This creates a gap between the ground and the bottom 12, preventing the bottom 12 from getting wet due to rainwater or the like that has accumulated on the ground.

[0036] The bottom studs 121 are provided at positions asymmetrical with respect to the fold line d3 in a bottom view.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1 or 3, the lid portion 13 includes a front end 13a and a rear end 13b connected to the rear wall portion 112.

[0038] The cover portion 13 is provided with a plate insertion portion P2, an extension portion 131 extending from the front end 13a, and a belt member 132 whose length is adjustable.

[0039] The plate insertion portion P2 includes a front side P21, a rear side P22, a left side P23, and a right side P24 opposite to the left side P23. In particular, the left side P23 and the right side P24 are a pair of opposing side sides.

[0040] An insertion opening is provided on the right side P24.

[0041] The insertion slot is provided along the right side P24 and is inclined so that the length of the rear side P22 is shorter than the length of the front side P21.

[0042] The extension portion 131 is provided so as to be rotatable about the front end 13a as an axis.

[0043] Further, the extending portion 131 and the front wall portion 111 are provided with a pair of attachment / detachment means A. This allows the extension portion 131 to be fixed to the front wall portion 111 when the cover portion 13 is in the closed state. In this embodiment, the attachment / detachment means A is a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners, but is not particularly limited as long as it is a member that can detachably fasten the extension portion 131 and the front wall portion 111 without using tools or the like.

[0044] Further, the extension portion 131 and the attachment / detachment means A are configured so that when the extension portion 131 is fixed to the front wall portion 111 by the attachment / detachment means A, a gap is formed between the extension portion 131 and the opening / closing means 14. This allows a pair of sliders 141 of the opening / closing means 14, which will be described later, to be positioned within the gap formed by the extension portion 131, thereby preventing rainwater and the like from entering the internal space S through the gap between the sliders 141.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 2, the belt member 132 is provided on the lid portion 13 on the internal space S side.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 6, the belt member 132 is configured so as to be able to be locked to the rear wall portion 112 in the folded state. In this embodiment, the band member 132 is an elastic band, but is not particularly limited to this as long as it is a member such as a belt whose length can be changed.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 2, the opening / closing means 14 is a waterproof zipper composed of a pair of teeth and a slider 141.

[0048] A pair of teeth is provided on the wall portion 11 and the cover portion 13, respectively. In particular, the lid portion 13 abuts against the wall portion 11 in the closed state. As a result, the cover portion 13 is inclined so that the front end 13a is lower than the rear end 13b in the closed state.

[0049] The slider 141 is provided with an insertion hole (not shown) into which a locking device (not shown) such as a padlock is inserted. This allows the wall portion 11 and the lid portion 13 to be locked together using a locking device (not shown).

[0050] <<Support>> As shown in FIG. 6 or 7, the support body 2 has a left side wall support body 21 that supports the left side wall body 113, a right side wall support body 22 that supports the right side wall body 114, and a bottom plate (not shown).

[0051] The left side wall support 21 is formed in a plate shape that is approximately similar to the shape of the left side wall 113 in a side view. Similarly, the right side wall support 22 is formed in a plate shape that is approximately similar to the shape of the right side wall 114 in a side view. Similarly, the bottom plate is formed in a plate shape that is approximately similar to the shape of the bottom portion 12 in a plan view.

[0052] The left side wall support 21, the right side wall support 22 and the bottom plate are each covered with an aluminum vapor deposition material. This improves the heat retention of the internal space S, making it easier to maintain the temperature of the delivered items contained therein.

[0053] The left side wall support 21 is rotatably attached to the boundary C1 between the rear wall 112 and the left side wall 113. More specifically, the aluminum vapor-deposited fabric of the left side wall support 21 is sewn to the aluminum vapor-deposited fabrics of the rear wall 112 and the left side wall 113, respectively. This suppresses deformation of the wall portion 11, improves the heat retention of the delivery items stored in the internal space S, and prevents rainwater and moisture from entering the internal space S from the outside. Similarly, the right side wall support 22 is rotatably attached to the boundary (not shown) between the rear wall 112 and the right side wall 114. More specifically, the aluminum vapor-deposited fabric of the right side wall support 22 is sewn to the aluminum vapor-deposited fabrics of the rear wall 112 and the right side wall 114, respectively. Similarly, the bottom plate is pivotally attached to the interface (not shown) between the rear wall 112 and the bottom 12 .

[0054] The left side wall support 21 and the left side wall 113 are provided with a pair of fixing means F arranged on the rear wall 112 side (boundary C1 side).

[0055] Similarly, the right side wall support 22 and the right side wall 114 are provided with a pair of fixing means F arranged on the rear wall 112 side.

[0056] The pair of fixing means F are hook-and-loop fasteners. As a result, when the left side wall support 21 or the right side wall support 22 interferes with the bottom plate or the bottom 12 when the delivery box X is folded, the left side wall support 21 or the right side wall support 22 can be moved away from the wall 11, allowing the left side wall support 21 or the right side wall support 22 to rotate more smoothly. The pair of fixing means F may be detachable members such as a pair of magnetic bodies.

[0057] <<Flap>> As shown in FIG. 1 or 5, the flap 3 is provided along the long side (left-right direction) of the lid portion 13 on the rear end 13b side.

[0058] The flap 3 is attached to the boundary portion of the lid portion 13 so as to be rotatable about an axis.

[0059] The flap 3 is also provided with a plurality of metal fittings 31 each having a through-hole. This allows a wire W or an S-hook (not shown) to be inserted into the metal fittings 31, as shown in FIG. 8, and allows the delivery box X to be fixed to a protruding part B of a building such as a grille or doorknob. In this embodiment, the metal fitting 31 is an eyelet, but it may also be an eyelet washer or the like.

[0060] <Effects> According to this embodiment, the left side wall support 21 that supports the left side wall 113 is rotatably attached to the boundary C1 between the rear wall 112 and the left side wall 113, and the right side wall support 22 that supports the right side wall 114 is rotatably attached to the boundary between the front wall 111 or the rear wall 112 and the right side wall 114, thereby making it possible to fold the box while stabilizing the shapes of the walls and bottom when in use, and preventing the delivery box X from deforming or collapsing.

[0061] Furthermore, since the left side wall support 21 is fixed to the boundary C1 side of the left side wall 113 by fixing means F, and the right side wall support 22 is fixed to the boundary of the right side wall 114 by fixing means F, the corresponding side walls 113, 114 move in conjunction with the rotational movement of each side wall support 21, 22, making it easy to unfold and fold the delivery box X.

[0062] Furthermore, in the closed state, lid portion 13 is inclined so that front end 13a is lower than rear end 13b, thereby preventing rainwater, dust, and the like from accumulating in lid portion 13. In addition, in the closed state, lid portion 13 abuts against wall portion 11, preventing rainwater, dust, and the like from entering internal space S.

[0063] Furthermore, by slanting the insertion opening so that the length of the front side P21 is shorter than the length of the rear side P22 of the plate insertion section P2, rainwater and dust flowing on the lid section 13 are less likely to penetrate into the plate insertion section P2, thereby preventing the plate from getting wet or dirty.

[0064] Furthermore, by inclining the insertion opening so that the length of the upper side P11 is shorter than the length of the lower side P12 of the plate insertion section P1, rainwater and dust flowing on the wall section 11 are less likely to penetrate into the plate insertion section P1, thereby preventing the plate from getting wet or dirty.

[0065] Furthermore, since rear end 13b of lid portion 13 is connected to rear wall portion 112, lid portion 13 opens toward the rear, preventing rainwater, dust, etc. that accumulates on lid portion 13 from falling on the user.

[0066] Furthermore, the flap 3 is provided with metal fittings 31 having through holes, and by providing these fittings along the long sides of the lid 13, the through holes are prevented from breaking even when an anti-theft wire or S-hook is inserted to secure the flap to a handrail, pillar, etc. Furthermore, since the flap 3 is provided along the long sides of the lid 13, breaking of the flap 3 from the lid 13 is suppressed.

[0067] In addition, the flap 3 is provided with multiple metal fittings 31, allowing components to be inserted depending on the installation environment of the delivery box X and the shape and position of components such as wire W or S-shaped hooks for fixing it to the building.

[0068] Furthermore, the multiple bottom studs 121 on the bottom 12 are each positioned asymmetrically relative to the fold d3 of the bottom 12 when viewed from the bottom, so that when folded, the bottom studs 121 are positioned so as not to interfere with each other, making it possible to make the delivery box X more compact.

[0069] In addition, the length-adjustable belt member 132 provided on the lid portion 13 is configured to be able to engage with the rear wall portion 112 when folded, thereby preventing the delivery box X from unfolding when folded and maintaining a compact state.

[0070] <Example of change> The shapes and dimensions of the components shown in the above-described embodiment are merely examples and can be modified in various ways based on design requirements, etc.

[0071] 9, the fixing means F may be configured such that the sheet member H is sewn to the boundary side of each of the side wall supports 21, 22 and the boundary side of each of the side walls 113, 114. In this configuration, it is preferable that each of the side wall supports 21, 22 is sewn only to the lid 13 side. By doing this, interference between each side wall support 21, 22 and the bottom plate or bottom 12 is suppressed, while each side wall support 21, 22 is more firmly fixed to each side wall 113, 114, making it easier to maintain the freestanding state of delivery box X.

[0072] For example, the left side wall support 21 and the right side wall support 22 may be rotatably attached to the boundary between the front wall 111 and the left side wall 113 and the boundary between the front wall 111 and the right side wall 114, respectively.

[0073] For example, the left side wall support 21 and the right side wall support 22 may be rotatably attached by hinges to the boundary between the rear wall 112 and the left side wall 113 and the boundary between the rear wall 112 and the right side wall 114, respectively.
