A pocket-type storage case to prevent forgetting things

Abstract

To provide a pocket-type storage case which reliably prevents wallets and mobile phones from being left behind, which have traditionally been ranked highly in "rankings of items left behind in restrooms," and which also takes into consideration the health and hygiene aspects in a restroom which is easily contaminated by E. coli or the like. [Solution] A pocket-type storage case 10 to prevent items from being left behind is attached to the door or side panel inside a toilet room, and is equipped with a storage case body 11 that holds a pocket case 12 and a tray 13 supported by a spring 15, and a slide stopper 14 that prevents the door from opening or closing and expands and contracts integrally with a spring 20 provided on the tray. When an item is placed in the pocket case upon entering the room, the spring is compressed and the tray lowers, and the action of the compressed spring pushes out the slide stopper to lock the door, and when the item is removed upon leaving the room, the compressed spring restores and the slide stopper returns to its original position, automatically unlocking the door.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pocket-type storage case that is installed in a toilet room to prevent people from forgetting things. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, wallets and cell phones have topped the list of items left behind in the bathroom.

[0003] As a measure to prevent items from being left behind, an anti-forgetfulness tray has been proposed in which a fixed plate and a stand for small items (anti-forgetfulness tray) are integrated into the door or side panel by connecting or fitting them to a sliding lock, and the tray is slid into the locked position and the stand is tilted down for use (see Patent Document 1).

[0004] In addition, a folding shelf has been proposed to reduce the number of items left behind, in which a shelf bracket is installed on the door or sleeve panel and a folding shelf is folded down to engage with both sides of the door and sleeve panel to become a storage stand for small items, and this storage stand functions as a substitute for a lock (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6958909 [Patent Document 2] JP 2006-263439 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The prior art described in Patent Document 1 is an integrated structure with a sliding lock, so it cannot be installed on existing doors that do not have sliding locks. In the prior art described in Patent Document 2, the folding shelf for reducing forgotten items is structured so that the small item stand serves as a substitute for locking, so if an emergency or emergency situation occurs indoors, the small item stand will lock the shelf, hindering rescue efforts, etc.

[0007] In terms of preventing items from being left behind, the prior art described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 both involve a small item stand installed near the door lock, which effectively prevents items from being left behind because small items are easily visible and the door cannot be unlocked unless the small items are removed.

[0008] From a hygiene standpoint, care must be taken to always keep toilets clean. Flush toilet handles and doorknobs are considered dangerous places that are easily contaminated by E. coli (O157, etc.). These are transmitted indirectly through human hands or fingers that have feces or bacteria on them, and infection can be avoided by thoroughly washing and disinfecting your hands at the sink after leaving the room. However, it is difficult to wash small items placed on a small item stand installed near the doorknob, and there is a possibility of oral infection from the small items. In particular, the risk of secondary infection is extremely high for mobile phones placed directly on the surface because they are used near the mouth. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a pocket-type storage case for preventing items from being left behind, which comprises a storage case body for containing a pocket case and a tray supported by a spring, and a slide stopper that prevents the door from opening or closing and which expands and contracts integrally with the spring provided on the tray, and when an item is placed in the pocket case upon entering a room, the spring is compressed and the tray lowers, and the action of the compressed spring pushes out the slide stopper to lock the door, and when the item is removed upon leaving the room, the compressed spring restores and the slide stopper returns to its original position, automatically unlocking the door.

[0010] In addition, the slide stopper of the pocket-type storage case for preventing forgetting of items of the present invention is characterized in that it is made of a material that bends so as not to prevent the door from opening when an attempt is made to open the door against the slide stopper in the event of an emergency, and returns to its original shape when the action of opening the door is released.

[0011] Furthermore, the pocket case built into the pocket-type storage case for preventing forgetting of items of the present invention is characterized in that it can be removed from the storage case for easy maintenance. Effect of the Invention

[0012] A typical luggage rack in a toilet is usually a shelf installed at the front or on the side of the wall. The movement of a person who places a wallet or other item in the luggage rack is as follows: first, the person locks the door, then takes the wallet or other item out of their pocket and places it carelessly on the luggage rack. Next, the person completes a series of tasks, stands up, takes the wallet or other item from the luggage rack, puts it back in their pocket, unlocks the door, and leaves the room. However, during the movement from standing up to leaving the room, the luggage rack on the opposite side of the door is out of sight, so the wallet or other item may be overlooked and left behind.

[0013] When the present invention's pocket-type storage case for preventing forgotten items is installed, the flow of movement of a person is as follows: after entering the restroom, the person first locks the door, then takes out a wallet or other item from their pocket and inserts it into the pocket case installed at eye level. After completing the series of tasks, the person stands up, heads toward the door, takes out the wallet or other item from the pocket case, puts it back in their own pocket, unlocks the door, and leaves the restroom. This is an efficient movement, and it is inevitable that wallets and other items will not be left behind, but the present invention is also a device that calls attention to forgotten items, so it can be used to raise awareness of other ways to prevent forgetting things.

[0014] To provide a pocket-type storage case for preventing items from being left behind according to the present invention, which is a storage case or a pocket case and cannot be touched by other people, and which allows easy insertion and removal of a wallet, a mobile phone, etc., into and from the pocket case. Furthermore, the storage case is easy to install and can be placed at eye level above the keys, making it compatible with any type of existing key. [Brief description of the drawings]
