Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lid that is placed on a container body capable of containing articles, and to the container. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a container used for transporting items, etc., includes a roughly box-shaped container body that opens upward, and a lid body that is placed over the container body, and a technology in which a fastener is attached to the lid body and the lid body is placed over the container body, so that the locking portion of the fastener locks with the lockable portion of the container body (see, for example, Patent Document 1, etc.). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-207958 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, the fastener in Patent Document 1 has an extension portion that extends below the bottom surface of the lid body, and the locking portion of the fastener is provided so as to protrude from the bottom end of the extension portion toward the center of the lid body. Therefore, when lid bodies to which fasteners are attached are stacked in the same orientation, the locking portion of the fastener interferes with the other lid bodies, which may make it difficult to stack the lid bodies efficiently.

[0005] Furthermore, in the case of a container body that has a bottom wall component that is approximately rectangular in plan view and side wall components that are rotatably connected to each side edge of the bottom wall component, can be assembled into a box shape that opens upward, and can be folded by tilting each side wall component toward the center of the bottom wall component, there is a demand for a configuration that not only allows a lid to be placed over the container body when it is in an assembled state, but also allows the lid to be suitably placed on the container body when it is in a folded state.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the problems exemplified above, and its object is to provide a lid and a container that can be stored and transported efficiently. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The following describes each of the means suitable for achieving the above objects. Note that, as necessary, the specific effects of the corresponding means will be added.

[0008] Means 1. A lid body that is detachably fitted onto a roughly box-shaped container body that opens upward, The lid bodies are configured so that they can be stacked vertically in the same orientation to form a lid body stacked state, the lid body has a facing portion that faces an outer surface of the container body when the lid body is covered with the container body, The facing portion is provided with a locking portion that can be locked to the container body when the lid body is placed on the container body, The locking portion is configured by forming a recess that is recessed in a thickness direction of the facing portion or a hole that penetrates the facing portion, The lid body is characterized in that the lid body has a receiving recess capable of receiving the opposing portion of another lid body when the lid bodies are in the stacked state.

[0009] According to the first means, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the opposing parts of the lids interfere with other lids in the lid-stacked state (the main bodies of the lids cannot be abutted against each other, or the main bodies of the lids cannot be abutted against each other and stacked without forcibly deforming the opposing parts), and the height of the lids in the lid-stacked state can be made as low as possible. Furthermore, the lids can be stacked without shifting the center of gravity, and the lids can be stabilized while suppressing an increase in the installation space in the horizontal direction. As a result, it is possible to improve the efficiency of storing and transporting the lids together. Furthermore, it is possible to avoid deformation or damage caused by excessive load being applied to the opposing parts or the main bodies of the lids due to elastic deformation of the opposing parts or the tips of the opposing parts abutting against the main bodies of other lids from above and below in the lid-stacked state, and it is possible to improve the durability of the lids. In addition, since the locking parts of the opposing parts are recessed or holed, the thickness including the locking parts of the opposing parts (the width in the inner and outer periphery directions of the lids) can be made as small as possible compared to the case in which the locking parts are protruding. Therefore, it is possible to make the depth of the receiving recess as shallow as possible, and for example, in a configuration in which the opposing portion does not protrude outward beyond the outer peripheral surface of the main body of the lid body, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a relatively large recess is formed on the outer periphery of the lid body by forming the receiving recess, thereby reducing the insulation performance.

[0010] Means 2. The lid body includes a lid body stacking restricting portion and a lid body stacking restricted portion, which are provided at a position inward from the outer peripheral surface of the lid body, and are arranged to face each other in a substantially horizontal direction when the lid bodies are stacked, and which are capable of restricting relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid bodies stacked up and down by abutting each other in the substantially horizontal direction, a configuration in which the lid body stacking restricting portion of one of the lid bodies stacked vertically in the lid body stacked state comes into contact with the lid body stacking restricted portion of the other lid body, and at the same time, the opposing portion of the one lid body comes into contact with the receiving recess of the other lid body; A configuration in which, when the lid body stacking restricting portion of one of the lid bodies that are stacked vertically in the lid body stacked state comes into contact with the lid body stacking restricted portion of the other lid body, the opposing portion of the one lid body and the receiving recess of the other lid body can come into contact with each other while maintaining the contact, or The lid body described in Means 1 is characterized in that when the lid body stacking regulating portion of one of the lid bodies stacked vertically in the lid body stacked state is in contact with the lid body stacking restricted portion of the other lid body, the opposing portion of the one lid body and the receiving recess of the other lid body do not abut.

[0011] According to the second aspect, it is possible to suppress or prevent an excessive load from being applied to the facing parts when regulating the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid bodies in the stacked state of the lid bodies, and therefore it is possible to protect the facing parts and improve the durability of the facing parts and, ultimately, the lid bodies.

[0012] Means 3. In a container having the lid according to means 1 or 2, a container body including a bottom wall portion having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view, a bottom wall component including base portions provided along each side edge portion of the bottom wall portion, and side wall portions connected to each base portion so as to be rotatable between an upright position in which the base portion is erected above the base portion and a folded position in which the base portion is folded down above the bottom wall portion; the container body is configured to be changeable between an assembled state in which all of the side wall portions are in the upright position and are substantially box-shaped and open upward, and a folded state in which all of the side wall portions are in the folded position, The container is configured to be able to change between a covered state in which the lid body is covered on the container body in the assembled state and a placed state in which the lid body is placed on the container body in the folded state, The container body includes: a locking portion that protrudes outward from the container body from an outer surface side of the side wall portion in the upright position and that is locked with the locking portion in the covered state; A container characterized in that, in the placed state, the opposing portion is positioned opposite the outer surface side of the bottom wall component, and the lid body is configured to be placed on the upper surface of the base portion.

[0013] According to the third means, the container body in the assembled state is covered with the lid body, and the locking portion is locked with the locked portion, so that the covered state of the container can be stabilized. In addition, by placing the lid body on the container body in the folded state, the facing portion is disposed facing the outer surface side of the bottom wall forming portion, and the lid body is configured to be able to be placed on the upper surface of the base portion. Therefore, the lid body is stably supported by the base portion while preventing a load from being applied to the facing portion (if the facing portion and the base portion interfere with each other, it is impossible to place the lid body on the upper surface of the base portion), and the placed state of the container can be stabilized and the height of the container in the placed state can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, the container body in the folded state and the lid body can be put together as a set in a form as compact as possible, and as a result, the container in the placed state can be efficiently stored and transported.

[0014] Means 4. The lid body and the container body are an assembly restricting portion and an assembly restricted portion that are provided on an outer peripheral surface of the lid body and at a position inward of an outer peripheral surface of the container body in the assembled state, and that are arranged to face each other in a substantially horizontal direction when the container body is in the covered state, and that are capable of restricting relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid body and the container body by abutting against each other in the substantially horizontal direction; a placement restricting portion and a placement restricted portion that are provided on an outer peripheral surface of the lid body and at a position inward of an outer peripheral surface of the container body in the folded state, and that are arranged to face each other in a substantially horizontal direction when the container body is placed in the placement state, and that are capable of restricting relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid body and the container body by abutting against each other in the substantially horizontal direction; In the coated state, a configuration in which the assembly restricting portion and the assembly restricted portion come into contact with each other, and at the same time, the opposing portion and the side wall portion come into contact with each other; A configuration in which, when the assembly restricting portion and the assembly restricted portion come into contact with each other, the contact is maintained and the opposing portion and the side wall portion can come into contact with each other; or When the assembly restricting portion and the assembly restricted portion are in contact with each other, the opposing portion and the side wall portion do not come into contact with each other, In the placed state, a configuration in which the placement restricting portion and the placement restricted portion come into contact with each other, and at the same time, the opposing portion and the bottom wall constituent portion come into contact with each other; A configuration in which, when the placement restricting portion and the placement restricted portion come into contact with each other, the contact is maintained and the opposing portion and the bottom wall constituent portion can come into contact with each other; or The container described in Means 3 is characterized in that, when the placement restricting portion and the placement restricted portion are in contact with each other, the opposing portion and the bottom wall forming portion do not come into contact with each other.

[0015] According to the fourth aspect, when the container is covered and when the container is placed on the table, it is possible to suppress or prevent an excessive load from being applied to the facing portion when regulating the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid and the container body. This makes it possible to protect the facing portion and improve the durability of the facing portion and, ultimately, the lid.

[0016] Means 5. The side wall portion is provided with an operation recess that is formed in a range including a portion facing the lower side of the facing portion in the covered state and allows contact with the back side of the facing portion; The lower edge of the operation recess is curved so that the central portion in the width direction of the corresponding side wall portion is the lowest portion, and is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body, The side wall portion on which the operation recess is provided has a handhold recess provided below the operation recess, A folded portion is provided extending downward from an upper edge portion of the handle recess on the outer side of the container body, The container described in means 3 or 4, characterized in that the folded portion is curved so that the central portion in the width direction of the corresponding side wall portion is the lowest portion, corresponding to the curvature of the lower edge portion of the operating recess.

[0017] According to the fifth aspect, when the container is in a covered state, the shape of the lower edge of the operation recess makes it easy to insert a fingertip into the operation recess that opens to the outside of the container body below the opposing part, and makes it easy to contact the back side of the opposing part through the operation recess. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability when releasing the locked state of the locking part. In addition, the folded part is also curved corresponding to the lower edge of the operation recess, and when the fingertip is hung on the upper edge of the handle recess, the finger joint can be suitably hung on the folded part. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability when carrying the container by hanging the fingertip on the handle recess. It is also possible to "configure so that the center of the opposing part and the center of the operation recess are substantially at the same position in the width direction of the side wall part on which the operation recess is provided". In this case, when the fingertip is inserted into the operation recess, the fingertip can be hung at a suitable position on the opposing part, and it is possible to operate the opposing part to release the locked state of the locking part more easily.

[0018] Means 6. A container described in any of means 3 to 5, characterized in that the engaging portion has a shape having a portion whose width gradually increases downward, with a portion of the upper portion as the apex, when the corresponding side wall portion is viewed from the front, and at least the portion of the upper surface of the engaging portion facing outward from the container body is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body.

[0019] According to the sixth aspect, when the lid is placed over the assembled container body and the locking portion is locked to the locked portion, it is possible to prevent the lower edge of the opposing portion from getting caught on the locked portion. Therefore, the lid can be placed over the assembled container body relatively smoothly while preventing damage to the opposing portion and the locked portion.

[0020] Means 7. The bottom wall component includes a first member and a second member that forms an internal space between the first member and the second member; The first member includes a frame-shaped first mating wall portion, the second member includes a second mating wall portion having an edge that abuts against an edge of the first mating wall portion to be in an engaged state; The second mating wall portion includes a second inner end wall portion and a second outer end wall portion that are spaced apart from each other and face each other in an inner and outer circumferential direction of the second mating wall portion, the first mating wall portion includes a first end wall portion that is inserted into an insertion space formed between the second inner end wall portion and the second outer end wall portion and is fitted with the second inner end wall portion and the second outer end wall portion, the second inner tip wall portion and the second outer tip wall portion are fitted to the first tip wall portion, whereby the first mating wall portion and the second mating wall portion are brought into an engaged state, and the first member and the second member are brought into an assembled state, A container described in any of means 3 to 6, characterized in that at least a portion of the assembly portion between the first member and the second member is the outermost portion when the container in the placed state is viewed in a plane.

[0021] According to the seventh aspect, the insulation can be improved by forming an internal space in the bottom wall component, and this effect is particularly pronounced when an insulation member is provided in the internal space. In addition, by providing the mounting portion protruding outward rather than inward (toward the internal space) of the bottom wall component, the insulation member can be provided suitably without narrowing the internal space. Furthermore, for example, by configuring the opposing portion to be the outermost portion when the container is viewed from above when the container is placed, and the other portions to be located closer to the center of the bottom wall than the opposing portion, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a separate body is likely to collide with the opposing portion. Therefore, damage to the opposing portion when the container is placed can be prevented. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0023] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4, etc., the container 1 includes a container body 2 that is a substantially rectangular box-shaped container that opens upward, and a lid 3 that is detachably fitted to the container body 2. The container body 2 includes a bottom wall component 4 that includes a bottom wall portion 5 that is substantially rectangular in plan view, short side base portions 6 that protrude upward from the bottom wall portion 5 along the respective short side portions of the bottom wall portion 5, and long side base portions 7 that protrude upward from the bottom wall portion 5 along the respective long side portions of the bottom wall portion 5. Furthermore, the container body 2 includes short side side wall portions 8 and long side side wall portions 9 that are connected to the short side base portions 6 and the long side base portions 7 so as to be rotatably displaceable. The short side wall 8 and the long side wall 9 are configured to be displaceable between an upright position in which they stand above the corresponding short side base 6 and long side base 7 as shown in Fig. 4, and a folded position in which they are folded above (towards the center) the bottom wall 5 as shown in Fig. 5. For this reason, when storing an article in the container 1, all the short side wall 8 and the long side wall 9 are in an upright position in the assembled state (see Fig. 4), and when storing the container 1, all the short side wall 8 and the long side wall 9 are in a folded position in the folded state (see Fig. 5), thereby enabling space saving and the like. In addition, the container 1 as a whole, including the lid 3, is configured to be able to change its state between a covered state (see Fig. 1) in which the lid 3 is covered on the container body 2 in the assembled state, and a placed state (see Fig. 2) in which the lid 3 is placed on the container body 2 in the folded state.

[0024] 3 and the like, the protruding length of the short-side base portion 6 from the bottom wall portion 5 is longer than the protruding length of the long-side base portion 7 from the bottom wall portion 5, and the forming position of the short-side bearing portion 41 for rotatably supporting the short-side sidewall portion 8 is also located above the forming position of the long-side bearing portion 51 for rotatably supporting the long-side sidewall portion 9. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the width of the short-side sidewall portion 8 is configured to be approximately the same as the short side width of the bottom wall component portion 4, and the width of the long-side sidewall portion 9 is configured to be approximately the same as the distance between the pair of short-side base portions 6. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the container body 2 in the assembled state is folded, as shown in FIG. 6, the pair of long-side sidewall portions 9 are first displaced to the folded position so as to overlap the bottom wall portion 5, and then the short-side sidewall portion 8 is displaced to the folded position so as to overlap the long-side sidewall portion 9.

[0025] As shown in Figures 3, 24, etc., the short side side wall portion 8 comprises a short side base constituent portion 11 which constitutes most of the short side side wall portion 8 including the outer region, and a short side inner surface constituent portion 12 which forms a short side internal space 13 (see Figure 24) between itself and the inner surface of the short side base constituent portion 11. The short side base constituent portion 11 and the short side inner surface constituent portion 12 are made of polypropylene. Also, a heat insulating member 14 made of polyurethane foam is provided in the short side internal space 13. Furthermore, the short side side wall portion 8 comprises a pair of short side shaft protrusions 15 (see Figure 3) which protrude laterally from the lower portions of the left and right side portions, respectively.

The long side base constituent portion 21 and the long side inner surface constituent portion 22 are made of polypropylene. Also, the long side inner space 23 is provided with a heat insulating member 14 made of polyurethane foam. Furthermore, the long side sidewall portion 9 includes a pair of long side shaft protrusions 25 (see Figure 3) that protrude laterally from the lower portions of the left and right side portions, respectively.

[0027] 3 and 6, restricting walls 16 are provided which protrude inwardly from both sides of the inner surface of the short-side sidewall 8. The restricting walls 16 are configured to overlap with the outer surfaces of the long-side sidewall 9 in the inward / outward direction of the container 1 when the container body 2 is in an assembled state. Furthermore, the restricting walls 16 are provided with insertion holes 17 which penetrate the short-side sidewall 8 in the lateral width direction.

[0028] In contrast, both sides on the outer surface side of the long side sidewall 9 are provided with a regulated wall 26 that approximately abuts against the regulating wall 16 of the short side sidewall 8 when the container body 2 is in an assembled state, and an insertion protrusion 27 that protrudes from the regulated wall 26 to the outer side of the container body 2. When the container body 2 is in an assembled state, the outer surface side of the regulated wall 26 approximately abuts against the regulating wall 16, both sides of the long side sidewall 9 approximately abut against the inner surface of the short side sidewall 8, and the insertion protrusion 27 is inserted into the insertion hole 17 to be in a locked state. Note that, as will be described in detail later, the container body 2 is configured to be covered with the lid 3 to regulate the displacement of the long side sidewall 9 towards the folded posture.

[0030] As shown in Figures 7, 24, etc., the short side base portion 6 includes a short side base inner lower vertical wall portion 42 extending upward from the short side edge portion of the bottom wall upper surface base wall portion 35, a short side base middle wall portion 43 extending from the upper edge portion of the short side base inner lower vertical wall portion 42 to the outside of the container body 2, a short side base inner upper vertical wall portion 44 extending upward from the edge portion of the short side base middle wall portion 43 on the outside of the container body 2, a short side base axis wall portion 45 extending upward from each of both side edges of the short side base middle wall portion 43, and a short side base inner upper vertical wall portion 44. It also comprises a short side base upper wall portion 46 extending outward from the upper edge of the short side base axial wall portion 45 to the outer side of the container body 2, a short side base outer vertical wall portion 47 extending downward from the outer edge of the container body 2 of the short side base upper wall portion 46, an axial wall adjustment portion 48 extending from the inner edge of the container body 2 of the short side base axial wall portion 45 to the outer side of the container body 2 (the lateral side of the short side side wall portion 8 in the width direction), and a support wall portion 49 protruding from the axial wall adjustment portion 48 toward the longitudinal center of the long side base portion 7.

[0031] 3 and other figures, the short-side bearing parts 41 in this embodiment are provided at the bottom of each short-side base shaft wall part 45. The short-side shaft protrusions 15 are inserted into the short-side bearing parts 41 and are substantially fitted to an extent that rotation of the short-side shaft protrusions 15 is permitted. This allows the short-side sidewall parts 8 to be connected (axially supported) to the short-side base parts 6 so as to be rotatably displaceable.

[0032] As shown in Figure 7, the long side base portion 7 comprises a long side base inner lower vertical wall portion 52 extending upward from the long side edge of the bottom wall upper surface base wall portion 35, a long side base middle wall portion 53 extending from the upper edge of the long side base inner lower vertical wall portion 52 to the outward side of the container body 2, a long side base inner upper vertical wall portion 54 extending upward from the outward edge of the container body 2 of the long side base middle wall portion 53, a long side base upper wall portion 55 extending to the outward side of the container body 2 from the upper edge of the long side base inner upper vertical wall portion 54, and a long side base outer vertical wall portion 56 extending downward from the outward edge of the container body 2 of the long side base upper wall portion 55. Both side portions of the long side base upper wall portion 55 slope upward toward the side and are connected to the short side base portion 6, and the support wall portions 49 of the short side base portion 6 are connected to the upper surface sides of both side portions of the long side base upper wall portion 55.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 3, the long side bearings 51 of this embodiment are provided on both sides of the short side base inner lower vertical wall 42 of the short side base 6. The long side shaft protrusions 25 are inserted into the long side bearings 51 and are approximately fitted to an extent that rotation of the long side shaft protrusions 25 is permitted. As a result, the long side side wall 9 is rotatably connected (axially supported) to the short side base 6. In particular, in this embodiment, the long side bearings 51 extend from the lower edge to the upper edge of the short side base inner lower vertical wall 42, and are configured so that when the long side side wall 9 is in the folded position (the short side side wall 8 remains in the upright position), the long side side wall 9 in the folded position can be stacked up and down within the range where the long side shaft protrusions 25 are inserted into the long side bearings 51.

[0034] 8, 9, 27, etc., in this embodiment, the portion including the short side base outer vertical wall portion 47 and the lower side of the long side base outer vertical wall portion 56 has a double wall structure in the inner and outer periphery direction of the short side base portion 6 and the long side base portion 7 (inner and outer direction of the container body 2). More specifically, the portion including the short side base outer vertical wall portion 47 and the lower side of the long side base outer vertical wall portion 56 (second joint wall portion) includes the short side base outer vertical wall portion 47 and the bottom wall inner end wall portion 57 (second inner end wall portion) and the bottom wall outer end wall portion 58 (second outer end wall portion) which are spaced apart and opposed to each other in the inner and outer periphery direction of the long side base outer vertical wall portion 56, and a bottom wall insertion space 59 opening downward is formed between the bottom wall inner end wall portion 57 and the bottom wall outer end wall portion 58.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 10, the bottom wall lower surface forming portion 32 includes a bottom wall lower surface base wall portion 61 having a generally rectangular shape when viewed from below, and a bottom wall orthogonal wall portion 62 protruding upward from the outer periphery of the bottom wall lower surface base wall portion 61. Also, as shown in Fig. 12, a support portion 63 is provided on the lower surface side of the bottom wall lower surface forming portion 32, protruding downward from the underside of the bottom wall lower surface base wall portion 61 and being supported by coming into contact with the installation surface when the container 1 is installed on an installation surface such as a floor surface. The support portion 63 is composed of a frame-shaped portion provided at a position spaced inward from the outer periphery of the bottom wall lower surface base wall portion 61, and a lattice-shaped portion provided inside the frame-shaped portion.

[0036] As shown in Figs. 10 and 11, a bottom wall insertion end wall 64 (first end wall) is provided in a portion (first mating wall) including the upper side of the bottom wall orthogonal wall 62, which is formed so as to reduce the thickness of the outer periphery of the bottom wall orthogonal wall 62. As shown in Fig. 27, the bottom wall insertion end wall 64 is inserted (pressed) into the bottom wall insertion space 59, so that the bottom wall inner end wall 57 and the bottom wall outer end wall 58 are fitted to the bottom wall insertion end wall 64. As a result, the short side base outer vertical wall 47 and the long side base outer vertical wall 56 are engaged with the bottom wall orthogonal wall 62, and the bottom wall base component 31 and the bottom wall lower surface component 32 are assembled. Furthermore, a heat insulating member 14 made of foamed polyurethane is provided in the bottom wall internal space 33 formed between the bottom wall base component 31 and the bottom wall lower surface component 32. Furthermore, the portion including the upper edge portion of the bottom wall orthogonal wall portion 62 may be configured in two layers to form an insertion space, and the portion including the short side base outer vertical wall portion 47 and the lower edge portion of the long side base outer vertical wall portion 56 (single layer) may be configured to be inserted into such insertion space.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 24, a base receiving recess 71 is provided at the lower part of the outer surface side of the short side side wall part 8 for receiving the upper part of the short side base part 6 (a part consisting of the short side base inner upper vertical wall part 44, the short side base upper wall part 46, and the short side base outer vertical wall part 47) when the container body 2 is assembled. As a result, when the container body 2 is assembled, the lower part of the short side side wall part 8 and the upper part of the short side base part 6 overlap in the inner and outer directions of the container body 2, and the upper edge part of the base receiving recess 71 and the short side base upper wall part 46 abut vertically. In particular, in this embodiment, when the container body 2 is assembled, the outer surface of the short side side wall part 8 is configured to be located outward from the outer surface of the bottom wall component part 4 (short side base part 6).

[0038] 5, a base-side engaging portion 72 is provided on the inner surface of the short-side base portion 6, protruding from the upper portion of the short-side base inner upper vertical wall portion 44 toward the inside of the container body 2. In contrast, a concave sidewall-side engaging portion 73 is provided at a portion of the short-side sidewall portion 8 corresponding to the base receiving recess 71, into which the base-side engaging portion 72 is inserted when the short-side sidewall portion 8 is in the upright position. For example, when the container body 2 in the assembled state is lifted by gripping the short-side sidewall portion 8, the sidewall-side engaging portion 73 and the base-side engaging portion 72 are vertically engaged (the bottom wall constituent portion 4 is lifted with the lower edge portion of the base-side engaging portion 72 supported by the lower edge portion of the recess constituting the sidewall-side engaging portion 73). As a result, when the container body 2 in the assembled state is lifted by grasping the short side side wall portion 8, the burden on the structure rotatably connecting the short side side wall portion 8 (and the long side side wall portion 9) to the bottom wall component 4 is reduced, preventing situations such as the short side shaft protrusion 15 falling off the short side bearing portion 41 (the long side shaft protrusion 25 falling off the long side bearing portion 51).

[0039] As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 13, the lid body 3 includes a lid body 81 capable of closing the opening on the upper surface side of the container body 2 in the assembled state, and a fixing device 82 attached to the lid body 81 to maintain the container 1 covered (preventing the lid body 3 from falling off from the container body 2 in the assembled state). A pair of fixing devices 82 are provided corresponding to the respective centers of a pair of opposing short side portions of the lid body 3. In addition, as shown in Fig. 24, the lid body 81 is integrally formed of polypropylene by blow (hollow) molding so as to form a lid body internal space 83. A heat insulating member 14 made of foamed polyurethane is provided in the lid body internal space 83.

[0040] 4, 22, etc., the container body 2 includes a sidewall upper edge protrusion 85 as an assembly restricted portion that protrudes upward from the upper edge portions of the short side wall portion 8 and the long side wall portion 9 and is provided along the entire circumference of the upper edge portions of the short side side wall portion 8 and the long side side wall portion 9. The upper surface of the sidewall upper edge protrusion 85 is disposed outward from the inner edge of the container body 2 of the upper edge portions of the short side side wall portion 8 and the long side side wall portion 9 in the thickness direction of the corresponding short side side wall portion 8 and the long side side wall portion 9. Furthermore, the outer side portion of the upper surface of the sidewall upper edge protrusion 85 of the container body 2 is configured to be one step lower than the inner side portion of the container body 2.

[0041] 13, 22, etc., the lid body 81 of the lid body 3 is provided with a lid stopper recess 86 that is formed along the outer periphery of the lower surface of the lid body 81 so as to open downward and toward the outer periphery of the lid body 81 (the centrifugal side relative to the center of the lid body 81) and that receives the side wall upper edge projection 85 when the container 1 is covered. Furthermore, a lid auxiliary projection 87 is provided that projects downward from the edge of the outer periphery of the lid body 81 on the upper edge of the lid stopper recess 86. The lower end of the lid auxiliary projection 87 is located above the lower surface of the lid body 81. When the container 1 is in the covered state, in the vertical direction, the lower surface of the lid body 81 approximately abuts against a portion of the short side side wall portion 8 and the upper edge portion of the long side side wall portion 9 that is located on the inner side of the container body 2 relative to the side wall upper edge protrusion 85, the upper edge of the lid stopper recess 86 abuts against a portion of the upper surface of the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 that is one step higher on the inner side of the container body 2, and the lower end of the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 approximately abuts against a portion of the upper surface of the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 that is one step lower on the outer side of the container body 2. Furthermore, in the inward / outward direction of the container body 2 (inward / outward directions of the lid body 81), a side edge portion of the lid stopper recess 86 on the central side of the lid body 81 (hereinafter referred to as "lid side restricting portion 88") is configured to substantially abut against the side wall upper edge protrusion 85, and the abutment between the lid side restricting portion 88 and the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 prevents the long side side wall portion 9 in the upright position from tilting toward the folded position, and restricts the relative displacement in the horizontal direction of the lid body 3 with respect to the container body 2 in the assembled state. In this embodiment, the lid side restricting portion 88 constitutes the assembly restricting portion.

[0042] In addition, in the inward / outward direction of the container body 2 (inward / outward direction of the lid body 81), the sidewall upper edge protrusion 85 is located on the outer side of the container body 2 than the outer circumferential surface of the support portion 63. As a result, when the assembled container bodies 2 are stacked one on top of the other, the support portion 63 of the upper container body 2 is inserted into the inner circumferential side of the sidewall upper edge protrusion 85 of the lower container body 2 and abuts or comes close to each other, and a portion of the lower surface of the bottom wall constituent portion 4 of the upper container body 2 that is closer to the outer circumferential side of the bottom wall portion 5 (the centrifugal side with respect to the center portion of the bottom wall portion 5) than the support portion 63 abuts against the upper surface of the sidewall upper edge protrusion 85 of the lower container body 2 and is supported, and the lower surface of the support portion 63 of the upper container body 2 abuts against a portion of the upper edge portion of the short side side wall portion 8 and the long side side side wall portion 9 of the lower container body 2 that is closer to the inner side of the container body 2 than the sidewall upper edge protrusion 85.

[0043] 3, 22, etc., the lid body 81 is provided with a lid body upper surface protrusion 89 that protrudes upward from a range including the center of each short side portion and a range including the center of each long side portion of the top surface of the lid body 81. In the inner and outer periphery direction of the lid body 81, the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 is located on the outer side (the centrifugal side with respect to the center of the lid body 81) of the inner edge portion (lid side restriction portion 88) of the lid stopper recess 86. The boundary portion between the upper surface and the outer side surface of the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 is formed into a rounded chamfered shape.

[0044] When the containers 1 in a covered state are stacked one on top of the other (see Figure 29), the support portion 63 of the upper container 1 is inserted into the area surrounded by the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of the lower container 1 (the inner peripheral side of the lid body top surface protrusion 89) and abuts or comes into close proximity with the inner surface of the lid body top surface protrusion 89 (the surface toward the center of the lid main body 81), and the portion of the lower surface of the bottom wall component 4 of the upper container 1 that is outward of the support portion 63 abuts and is supported against the upper surface of the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of the lower container main body 2, and the support portion 63 of the upper container 1 abuts and is supported against the upper surface of the lid main body 81 of the lower container 1.

[0045] 1, 3, and 14 to 16, the fixture 82 includes a pair of left and right mounting portions 91 attached to the lid body 81, and an opposing portion 92 opposing the outer surface of the container body 2 (short-side sidewall portion 8) when the container 1 is covered. The mounting portion 91 includes a base plate portion 93 extending vertically opposing the outer circumferential surface of the lid body 81, an upper engagement portion 94 having a generally C-shaped cross section and opening downward, one end of which is connected to the upper edge of the base plate portion 93, and a lower engagement portion 95 protruding in a direction generally perpendicular to the upper engagement portion 94 from the lower edge of the base plate portion 93 so as to face the upper engagement portion 94 vertically, and a claw portion 95a protruding upward is provided at the tip of the lower engagement portion 95.

[0046] In contrast, as shown in Figs. 17, 18, and 23, the mounting portion 101 to which the fastener 82 is attached is provided at the center of the short side of the lid body 81. In the mounting portion 101, the outer peripheral surface of the lid body 81 is recessed toward the center of the lid body 81, and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 is also configured to be one size smaller. This prevents the fastener 82 from protruding outward from its adjacent left and right portions. Furthermore, in the mounting portion 101, the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 is omitted, and a claw engagement recess 102 recessed upward is provided at a position corresponding to the pair of left and right mounting portions 91 on the upper edge portion of the lid stopper recess 86. Then, by mounting the fastener 82 to the mounting portion 101, the upper engagement portion 94 of the mounting portion 91 is engaged so as to wrap around the lid body upper surface protrusion 89, and the claw portion 95a of the lower engagement portion 95 is inserted and engaged in the claw engagement recess 102 of the mounting portion 101. As shown in Figure 13, each mounting portion 91 is provided with a protrusion that serves as a substitute for the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 (at the portion where the opposing portion 92 is provided, the opposing portion 92 serves as a substitute for the lid auxiliary protrusion 87), thereby preventing a decrease in insulation and the ease with which dust, etc. can easily enter due to the formation of a portion where the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 is not provided at the joint portion between the lid body 3 and the container body 2.

[0047] 14 and other figures, the facing portion 92 is located between the pair of mounting portions 91 in the width direction of the fixing device 82. Furthermore, the facing portion 92 is provided with a locking hole portion 103 as a locking portion that penetrates the facing portion 92 in the thickness direction at a position spaced inward from the outer circumferential edge of the facing portion 92. In addition, the lower edge portion of the facing portion 92 is curved so that the center portion of the facing portion 92 in the width direction is the lowest portion.

[0048] On the other hand, as shown in Figs. 19 to 21, 25, and 26, a concave assembled accommodating portion 104 is provided in the center of the width direction of the upper outer surface of each short side wall 8, which accommodates the opposing portion 92 of the lid 3 when the container 1 is in the covered state. This prevents the opposing portion 92 from protruding outward from the outer surface of the short side wall 8 when the container 1 is in the covered state. As shown in Fig. 21, the center of the opposing portion 92 and the center of the assembled accommodating portion 104 are configured to be at approximately the same position in the width direction of the short side side wall 8. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 19, 20, etc., a locking protrusion 105 is provided as a locked portion that protrudes from the assembled accommodating portion 104 to the outside of the container body 2. When the corresponding short side wall 8 is viewed from the front, the locking protrusion 105 has a shape (generally triangular when viewed from the front) that gradually widens in width downward from a part of the upper portion as an apex. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 26 etc., the upper surface of the locking protrusion 105 is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body 2, and in particular, the portion of the upper surface of the locking protrusion 105 on the outside of the container body 2 is made into a R-chamfered shape so as to be inclined downward more significantly. On the other hand, the lower surface of the locking protrusion 105 extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 25, by putting the container 1 in a covered state, the locking protrusion 105 is inserted into the locking hole 103 and is locked (with the lower edge of the locking hole 103). Note that it is sufficient that at least the portion of the upper surface of the locking protrusion 105 on the outside of the container body 2 is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body 2.

[0049] 20, 21, 25, etc., the short-side side wall 8 is provided with an operation recess 106 that is formed in a range including a portion facing the lower side of the facing portion 92 when the container 1 is in the covered state, and that allows contact with the back side of the facing portion 92. The operation recess 106 is provided in a manner that makes the lower portion of the assembly-accommodating portion 104 more greatly recessed toward the inside of the container body 2. As shown in FIG. 20, the lower edge of the operation recess 106 is curved in a manner that follows the lower edge of the facing portion 92, so that the center in the width direction of the short-side side wall 8 is the lowest part, and as shown in FIG. 25, it is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body 2. As shown in FIG. 21, in the width direction of the short side side wall portion 8, the center of the opposing portion 92 and the center of the operation recess 106 are at approximately the same position, so that in any position in the width direction of the opposing portion 92, the distance in the vertical direction between the lower edge of the opposing portion 92 and the lower edge of the operation recess 106 (the outer edge of the container body 2) is approximately constant.

[0050] As shown in Figs. 20 and 26, a handle recess 107 is provided on the outer surface of the short side wall 8 below the operation recess 106, allowing an operator to insert his / her fingertips inward from the outer surface of the short side wall 8, and the container 1 can be carried by hooking his / her fingertips on the upper edge of the handle recess 107. Furthermore, a folded portion 108 is provided that extends downward from the outer edge of the container body 2 on the upper edge of the handle recess 107. As shown in Figs. 20 and 21, the folded portion 108 is curved so that the center in the width direction of the corresponding short side wall 8 is the lowest part in response to the curvature of the lower edge of the operation recess 106. The width of the handle recess 107 is wider than the width of the operation recess 106, but the center of the handle recess 107 and the center of the operation recess 106 are located at the same position in the width direction of the short side wall 8. Furthermore, the vertical width of the handle recess 107 is configured to be larger than the distance between the opposing portion 92 and the lower edge (outer end) of the operation recess 106 when the container 1 is in the covered state, making it easier for the fingertips to enter the handle recess 107 (to be more noticeable) than the operation recess 106.

[0051] As shown in Fig. 27, in this embodiment, the assembly portion (hereinafter referred to as "assembly portion 109") between the bottom wall base component 31 and the bottom wall underside component 32 is relatively thick because the bottom wall insertion tip wall portion 64 of the bottom wall orthogonal wall portion 62 is inserted between the bottom wall inner tip wall portion 57 and the bottom wall outer tip wall portion 58 of the short side base outer vertical wall portion 47 and the long side base outer vertical wall portion 56 to be in a fitted state. In this embodiment, the assembly portion 109 is not thickened by protruding toward the bottom wall internal space 33 side, but is thickened by protruding toward the outer periphery of the bottom wall portion 5. With this configuration, the assembly portion 109 is located at the outermost position of the bottom wall component 4 in the inner and outer periphery direction of the bottom wall portion 5 (see Fig. 24).

[0052] As described above, in the assembled state of the container body 2, the outer surface of the short side wall portion 8 is located outward from the outer surface of the bottom wall constituent portion 4 (short side base portion 6) (see FIG. 24), and in this embodiment, in the covered state of the container 1, the facing portion 92 is located outward from the container body 2 from the outer surface of the short side base portion 6. Therefore, when the container 1 is placed in the placed state, as shown in FIG. 28, the facing portion 92 is disposed opposite the outer surface of the bottom wall constituent portion 4 (short side base portion 6) without deformation of the facing portion 92. As a result, when the container 1 is placed, the upper edge portion (short side base upper wall portion 46 and support wall portion 49) of the short side base portion 6 of the container body 2 in the folded state is inserted relatively into the lid stopper recess 86 of the lid body 3, the upper edge portion of the lid stopper recess 86 abuts and is supported against the upper surface of the short side base portion 6, and the lid side regulating portion 88 abuts or is close to the base side engaging portion 72 as a placement regulated portion that protrudes from the short side base portion 6 (short side base inner upper vertical wall portion 44) toward the center of the bottom wall portion 5. In this embodiment, the lid side regulating portion 88 constitutes the placement regulating portion.

[0053] Further, as shown in Fig. 28, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 109 of the bottom wall constituent portion 4 is the outermost portion when the container body 2 in the folded state is viewed in a plane. In addition, in the placed state of the container 1, the outer peripheral surface of the lid body 3 and the outer surface of the mounting portion 109 of the bottom wall constituent portion 4 are configured to be located on the same imaginary plane extending in the vertical direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the lid body 3 (lid body 81) and the outer surface of the mounting portion 109 are the outermost portion when the container 1 in the placed state is viewed in a plane. In addition, as shown in Fig. 24, in the covered state of the container 1, the outer surface of the mounting portion 109 of the bottom wall constituent portion 4, the outer surfaces of the short side sidewall portion 8 (and the long side sidewall portion 9), and the outer peripheral surface of the lid body 81 are configured to be located on the same imaginary plane extending in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the lid body 81 and the outer surface of the opposing portion 92 are approximately flush with each other, but the opposing portion 92 may be configured to be positioned further inward than the outer peripheral surface of the lid body 81 in the inward / outward direction of the container body 2.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 30, in this embodiment, the lids 3 are configured to be stacked vertically with the lids 3 facing the same direction (in this embodiment, the facing portion 92 of the fixture 82 is in an upside-down direction protruding upward). That is, as shown in FIG. 31, FIG. 32, etc., the fixture 82 has a receiving recess 110 capable of receiving the facing portion 92 of another lid 3 (the lower lid 3 in FIG. 31, FIG. 32, etc.) in the lid stacked state. As shown in FIG. 14, the receiving recess 110 is located between the base plate portions 93 of the pair of left and right mounting portions 91, and as shown in FIG. 32, the outer surface of the receiving recess 110 is provided inwardly of the container body 2 at a distance slightly longer than the outer surface of the base plate portion 93 and the outer surface of the facing portion 92 than the thickness of the facing portion 92. Then, as shown in Figures 31, 32 and 34, by placing the lid bodies 3 upside down in a lid body stacking state, the opposing portion 92 of the lower lid body 3 is inserted into the receiving recess 110 of the upper lid body 3, and, as shown in Figures 32 and 33, the lid body top surface protrusion 89, which serves as the lid body stacking restricted portion of the upper lid body 3, is inserted into the lid stopper recess 86 of the lower lid body 3 and abuts or comes close to the lid side regulating portion 88, which serves as the lid body stacking restricting portion, in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when a force is applied to the lid bodies 3 in a stacked state such that the upper and lower lid bodies 3 are displaced horizontally relative to each other, the lid side regulating portion 88 of the lower lid body 3 and the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 abut (see Figure 33), and at the same time, the opposing portion 92 of the lower lid body 3 (the opposing portion 92 of the fixing device 82 provided on the short side edge side opposite to the short side edge of the lid body 3 on which the lid side regulating portion 88 abutting the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 is provided) abuts against the receiving recess 110 of the upper lid body 3 (see Figure 32), thereby cooperating to regulate the relative horizontal displacement between the lid bodies 3 stacked one on top of the other.

[0055] 22, 25, etc., in the covered state of the container 1, the inner surface side (assembly restricted portion) of the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 of one short side side wall portion 8 and the lid side restricting portion 88 (assembly restricting portion) come into contact with each other, and at the same time, the outer surface side (assembly receiving portion 104) of the other short side side wall portion 8 and the opposing portion 92 come into contact with each other, so that they cooperate to restrict the relative horizontal displacement between the lid body 3 and the container body 2. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 28, in the placed state of the container 1, the protruding direction tip portion (placement restricted portion) of the base side engagement portion 72 of one short side base portion 6 and the lid side restricting portion 88 (placement restricting portion) come into contact with each other, and at the same time, the outer surface side of the other short side base portion 6 and the opposing portion 92 come into contact with each other, so that they cooperate to restrict the relative horizontal displacement between the lid body 3 and the container body 2.

[0056] In addition, a recess is provided at approximately the center of the short side edge on the underside of the bottom wall constituent part 4, which allows the container 1 to be lifted by hooking a fingertip on the underside of the bottom wall constituent part 4, and when containers 1 in a covered state or a placed state are stacked one on top of the other as shown in Fig. 29, the recess is connected vertically to the receiving recess 110 of the lower container 1, making it easy to insert a fingertip into the recess. In addition, the height of the container 1 in the covered state is approximately twice the height of the container 1 in the placed state, and it is configured so that when the containers 1 in the placed state are stacked in two layers, the upper surface of the lid body 3 of the upper container 1 and the upper surface of the lid body 3 of the container 1 in the covered state are at the same height.

[0057] As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, the lid body 3 (fixing device 82) having the facing portion 92 protruding below the lower surface of the lid body 81 has a receiving recess 110 that can receive the facing portion 92 of another lid body 3 when the lid bodies 3 are stacked vertically to form a lid body stacked state. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the facing portion 92 of the lid body 3 interferes with and gets stuck on the other lid body 3 in the lid body stacked state (the lid bodies 81 cannot be abutted against each other, or the lid bodies 81 cannot be abutted against each other and stacked without forcibly deforming the facing portion 92), and the height of the lid body 3 in the lid body stacked state can be made as low as possible. Furthermore, the lid bodies 3 can be stacked without shifting the center of gravity position, and the lid body stacked state can be stabilized while suppressing an increase in the installation space in the horizontal direction. As a result, it is possible to improve the efficiency of storing and transporting the lid bodies 3 together. Furthermore, in the stacked state of the lid bodies, it is possible to avoid the application of an excessive load to the facing portion 92 and the lid body 81, which would cause deformation or damage due to the facing portion 92 being elastically deformed or the tip portion of the facing portion 92 being abutted against the other lid body 81 from above and below, and it is possible to improve the durability of the lid body 3. In addition, since the locking hole portion 103 provided so as to penetrate the facing portion 92 is locked with the locking protrusion portion 105 of the container body 2 in the covered state of the container 1, the thickness of the facing portion 92 including the locking portion with the container body 2 side (the width in the inner and outer periphery directions of the lid body 3) can be made as small as possible, compared to, for example, a case in which a locking protrusion is provided in place of the locking hole portion 103 in the facing portion 92 (a locking hole portion or a locking recess is provided in the container body 2). Therefore, in a configuration in which the opposing portion 92 does not protrude outward beyond the outer peripheral surface of the lid main body 81, the depth of the receiving recess 110 and the mounting portion 101 can be made as shallow as possible, and a decrease in insulation performance, etc., caused by the formation of a relatively large recess on the outer peripheral portion of the lid main body 81 can be avoided.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the upper and lower lid bodies 3 are to be displaced relative to each other in the horizontal direction in the lid body stacked state of the lid bodies 3 facing upside down, the lid side regulating portion 88 of the lower lid body 3 and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 come into contact with each other, and at the same time, the opposing portion 92 of the lower lid body 3 and the receiving recess 110 of the upper lid body 3 come into contact with each other. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the lid side regulating portion 88 and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 are not provided, for example, it is possible to prevent an excessive load from being applied to the opposing portion 92 when restricting the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid bodies 3 in the lid body stacked state. Therefore, it is possible to protect the opposing portion 92, and it is possible to improve the durability of the opposing portion 92 and therefore the lid body 3.

[0059] In addition, by covering the container body 2 in the assembled state with the lid body 3, the locking hole portion 103 of the facing portion 92 of the lid body 3 is locked with the locking protrusion portion 105 of the container body 2, so that the covered state of the container 1 can be stabilized. In addition, by placing the lid body 3 on the container body 2 in the folded state, the facing portion 92 is disposed facing the outer surface side of the bottom wall forming portion 4 (short side base portion 6), and the lid body 3 (lid body 81) is configured to be able to be placed on the upper surface of the short side base portion 6. Therefore, while preventing a load from being applied to the facing portion 92 [if the facing portion 92 and the short side base portion 6 interfere with each other, it is impossible to place (support the lid body 81 in contact with) the upper surface of the short side base portion 6], the lid body 3 is stably supported by the short side base portion 6, so that the placed state of the container 1 can be stabilized and the height of the container 1 in the placed state can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, the container body 2 and the lid body 3 in the folded state can be set together in as compact a form as possible, and as a result, the container 1 in the placed state can be efficiently stored and transported.

[0060] In addition, when the lid body 3 is about to be displaced relative to the container body 2 in the horizontal direction in the covered state of the container 1, the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 of one short side side wall portion 8 and the lid side regulating portion 88 come into contact with each other, and at the same time, the short side side wall portion 8 (assembly receiving portion 104) of the other short side side wall portion 8 comes into contact with the opposing portion 92. Furthermore, in the placed state of the container 1, the base side engagement portion 72 of one short side base portion 6 comes into contact with the lid side regulating portion 88 and at the same time, the other short side base portion 6 comes into contact with the opposing portion 92. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an excessive load from being applied to the opposing portion 92 when regulating the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lid body 3 and the container body 2 in each of the covered state and the placed state of the container 1. Therefore, it is possible to protect the opposing portion 92, and it is possible to improve the durability of the opposing portion 92 and, ultimately, the lid body 3.

[0061] The short-side sidewall 8 is provided with an operation recess 106 that corresponds to the lower edge of the facing portion 92 when the container 1 is in the covered state, and allows contact with the back side of the facing portion 92. The lower edge of the operation recess 106 is curved so that the center in the width direction is the lowest part, and is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body 2. Therefore, when the container 1 is in the covered state, it becomes easy to insert a fingertip into the operation recess 106 that opens to the outside of the container body 2 below the facing portion 92, and it is easy to contact the back side of the facing portion 92 through the operation recess 106. Furthermore, in the width direction of the short-side sidewall 8, the center in the width direction of the operation recess 106 and the center in the width direction of the facing portion 92 coincide with each other, and when a fingertip is inserted into the operation recess 106, the fingertip can be placed at a suitable position on the facing portion 92. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability when releasing the locked state between the locking hole 103 and the locking projection 105 by operating the facing portion 92.

[0062] In addition, the folded portion 108 of the handle recess 107 is also curved so that the central portion in the width direction is the lowest portion in accordance with the curvature of the lower edge of the operation recess 106. Therefore, when the fingertips are hooked on the upper edge of the handle recess 107, the knuckles of the fingers can also be conveniently hooked on the folded portion 108. This improves the operability when carrying the container 1 by hooking the fingertips on the handle recess 107.

[0063] When the short-side side wall portion 8 is viewed from the front, the locking protrusion 105 has a generally triangular shape with a part of the upper part as the apex and a width gradually increasing downward, and the upper surface of the locking protrusion 105 is inclined downward toward the outside of the container body 2. This makes it possible to prevent the lower side of the opposing portion 92 from getting caught on the locking protrusion 105 when the lid body 3 is placed over the assembled container body 2 and the locking hole portion 103 is locked with the locking protrusion 105. This makes it possible to relatively smoothly place the lid body 3 over the assembled container body 2 while preventing damage to the opposing portion 92 and the locking protrusion 105.

[0064] The bottom wall constituent part 4 is constructed by assembling the bottom wall base constituent part 31 and the bottom wall lower surface constituent part 32, and providing the heat insulating member 14 in the bottom wall internal space 33 formed between the bottom wall base constituent part 31 and the bottom wall lower surface constituent part 32. This improves the heat insulating property of the bottom wall constituent part 4. In addition, by providing an assembly part 109 between the bottom wall base constituent part 31 and the bottom wall lower surface constituent part 32 protruding outward rather than inward (toward the bottom wall internal space 33) of the bottom wall constituent part 4, the heat insulating member 14 can be provided suitably without narrowing the bottom wall internal space 33. Furthermore, the outermost part of the container 1 when the container 1 is placed in a plan view is formed by the assembly part 109 (and the outer peripheral surface of the container body 81). For this reason, for example, by configuring the opposing portion 92 to be the outermost portion when the container 1 is viewed from above while the container 1 is in the placed state, and other portions to be located closer to the center of the bottom wall portion 5 than the opposing portion 92, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a separate body is likely to collide with the opposing portion 92. Therefore, damage to the opposing portion 92 while the container 1 is in the placed state can be prevented.

[0065] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented as follows: Of course, other applications and modifications not exemplified below are also possible.

[0066] (a) In the above embodiment, when the lid bodies 3 are stacked upside down, and when the lid side regulating portion 88 of the lower lid body 3 and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 abut, the abutment is maintained and the opposing portion 92 of the lower lid body 3 and the receiving recess 110 of the upper lid body 3 can abut (they abut when the peripheral portions are slightly warped or slightly tilted, etc.). Alternatively, when the lid bodies 3 are stacked upside down, and when the lid side regulating portion 88 of the lower lid body 3 and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 abut, the opposing portion 92 of the lower lid body 3 and the receiving recess 110 of the upper lid body 3 do not abut. In addition, in the above embodiment, when the lid bodies are stacked, the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of a given lid body 3 abuts against the lid side regulating portion 88 of another lid body 3, thereby regulating the relative displacement between the lid bodies 3 in the horizontal direction. However, for example, the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of a given lid body 3 may be configured to abut against the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 of another lid body 3, thereby regulating the relative displacement between the lid bodies 3 in the horizontal direction. In this case, when the lid bodies are stacked, the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of a predetermined lid body 3 and the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 of the other lid body 3 abut against each other, and at the same time, the opposing portion 92 of the other lid body 3 abuts against the receiving recess 110 of the predetermined lid body 3 (or, after the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of the predetermined lid body 3 and the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 of the other lid body 3 abut, the opposing portion 92 of the other lid body 3 and the receiving recess 110 of the predetermined lid body 3 may abut against each other, or, when the lid body top surface protrusion 89 of the predetermined lid body 3 and the lid auxiliary protrusion 87 of the other lid body 3 abut against each other, the opposing portion 92 of the other lid body 3 and the receiving recess 110 of the predetermined lid body 3 may not abut against each other). Furthermore, the configuration may be such that the lid side regulating portion 88 of the lower lid body 3 and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 come into contact simply by stacking the lid bodies 3 upside down, or a clearance may be set and the upper and lower lid bodies 3 are displaced relative to each other in the horizontal direction within the clearance range, so that the lid side regulating portion 88 of the lower lid body 3 and the lid body upper surface protrusion 89 of the upper lid body 3 come into contact.

[0067] (b) In the above embodiment, when the lid side regulating portion 88 and the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 abut against each other when the container 1 is in the covered state, the abutment may be maintained while the opposing portion 92 and the short side side wall portion 8 (assembly accommodating portion 104) abut (the abutment occurs when the peripheral portion is slightly bent or slightly tilted, etc.), or the configuration may be such that when the lid side regulating portion 88 and the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 abut against each other when the container 1 is in the covered state, the opposing portion 92 and the short side side wall portion 8 do not abut against each other. In addition, when the lid side regulating portion 88 and the base side engaging portion 72 of the short side base portion 6 come into contact with each other while the lid side regulating portion 88 and the bottom wall forming portion 4 (short side base portion 6) are maintained in contact with each other (they come into contact when the peripheral portion is slightly bent or slightly tilted, etc.), or when the lid side regulating portion 88 and the base side engaging portion 72 of the short side base portion 6 come into contact with each other while the container 1 is placed, the opposing portion 92 and the bottom wall forming portion 4 (short side base portion 6) may not come into contact with each other. Note that the lid side regulating portion 88 and the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 may come into contact with each other simply by placing the container 1 in the covered state, or a clearance may be set, and the lid body 3 and the container body 2 are relatively displaced in the horizontal direction within the clearance range, so that the lid side regulating portion 88 and the side wall upper edge protrusion 85 come into contact with each other. Furthermore, the configuration may be such that simply placing the container 1 in the placed state causes the lid side regulating portion 88 and the short side base portion 6 (base side engagement portion 72) to abut, or a clearance may be set and the lid body 3 and the container body 2 are displaced relative to each other in the horizontal direction within the clearance range, causing the lid side regulating portion 88 and the short side base portion 6 to abut.

[0068] (c) In the above embodiment, the fixing device 82 having the facing portion 92, the locking hole portion 103, and the receiving recess 110 is configured as a separate body from the lid body 81, but the facing portion 92, the locking hole portion 103, and the receiving recess 110 may be formed integrally with the lid body 81. Also, instead of the locking hole portion 103, a locking recess recessed in the thickness direction of the facing portion 92 may be provided on the inner surface side of the facing portion 92 (the surface on the central portion side of the lid body 81) so as to be locked with the locking protrusion 105 when the container 1 is covered. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the fixing device 82 is provided corresponding to each short side portion of the lid body 81, but it may be provided corresponding to each long side portion.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the short side wall 8 is configured to be in the folded position above the long side wall 9 in the folded position when the container body 2 is folded. However, the long side wall 9 may be configured to be in the folded position above the short side wall 8 in the folded position. In addition, the handle recess 107 may be provided in the long side wall 9 instead of the short side wall 8. However, it is preferable to provide the handle recess 107 in a side wall having a configuration that can be engaged with the bottom wall component 4 in the vertical direction, such as the base side engaging portion 72 and the side wall side engaging portion 73. Also, the operation recess 106 and the handle recess 107 may be provided with a hole penetrating the short side wall 8.

[0070] (d) In the above embodiment, the short side wall portion 8, the long side wall portion 9, the bottom wall component 4, and the lid body 3 (lid main body 81) each have an internal space, and the heat insulating member 14 is provided in the internal space. However, the heat insulating member 14 may be omitted for some or all of these, or the lid body 3 may have no internal space. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the lid body 81 is integrally constructed as a whole by blow molding, but it may be constructed by connecting a plurality of members (for example, by assembling an upper component constituting the upper surface side of the lid body 81 and a lower component constituting the lower surface side of the lid body 81 to provide the heat insulating member 14 in the lid body internal space 83). In addition, in the above embodiment, the mounting portion 109 of the bottom wall component 4 may not be provided around the entire circumference of the bottom wall component 4, and the mounting portion 109 may be configured to have a protruding length in the outer circumferential direction (centrifugal direction) of the bottom wall portion 5 that is different in parts.

[0071] (e) In addition, in the above embodiment, the short side base component 11, the short side inner surface component 12, the long side base component 21, the long side inner surface component 22, the bottom wall base component 31, the bottom wall underside component 32, the lid main body 81, and the fixing device 82 are made of polypropylene, but they may be made of other polyolefin resins (polyethylene, etc.) or synthetic resins other than polyolefins (for example, ABS resin, AES resin, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, etc.).
