Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a storage container holder capable of displaying storage containers that hold long-term preserved foods, and a holder that holds the storage container holder. [Background technology]
[0002] There is a known food storage facility that can display storage containers that contain long-term preserved foods that can be used in the event of a disaster (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Long-term preserved foods have a long expiration date, but they will reach their expiration date after a certain period of time and must be discarded. Therefore, a system is needed that allows long-term preserved foods that are approaching their expiration date to be consumed as part of regular meals.
[0003] The preserved food storage facility described in Patent Document 1 has 12 or more compartments in the food storage facility, and has monthly labels from January to December on the front of the compartments, making it possible to see at a glance the month in which the expiration date is. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-30482 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In the preserved food storage facility described in Patent Document 1, although each section is displayed by month, long-term preserved foods often have a best-before-date of two years or more, and so it is necessary to provide sections by year as well, which results in the size of the preserved food storage facility.In addition, when multiple long-term preserved foods are stored in a section, they are placed horizontally, so even though the long-term preserved foods at the back have a closer best-before-date than the foods at the front, they may end up being consumed first, resulting in the long-term preserved foods at the back being discarded.
[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage container housing cylinder that is highly convenient while efficiently utilizing the storage space, and a storage device that houses the storage container housing cylinder. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The characteristic configuration of the storage container storage tube of the present invention is that it is a storage container storage tube capable of displaying storage containers containing long-term preserved foods, and comprises a tube main body capable of storing a plurality of the storage containers lined up in the vertical direction, and a support portion arranged on the inner surface of the tube main body and supporting the storage containers, and the tube main body is open at both ends in the vertical direction to allow the storage containers to be placed on a first-in, first-out basis.
[0008] In this configuration, the storage container storage tube has a tube body capable of storing multiple storage containers arranged vertically, and thus displays the storage containers vertically. In addition, a support portion for supporting the storage containers is disposed on the inner surface of the tube body, and thus the storage space can be utilized efficiently. Since this storage container storage tube is a tube in which multiple storage containers are arranged vertically, not only can it be carried as is in the event of a disaster, but it can also be used effectively in the vertical direction of the display shelf, making it highly convenient.
[0009] Furthermore, since the cylindrical body of this configuration has both top and bottom ends open so that the storage containers can be put in and taken out first, for example, if the storage containers with the closest expiration date are stored in order from bottom to top, the storage container with the closest expiration date at the top can be consumed by inserting a new storage container with a longer expiration date from the bottom. In this way, the storage container storage cylinder is highly convenient while efficiently utilizing the storage space.
[0010] Another characteristic feature is that the tube body further includes a lid that closes the upper opening of the tube body, and when multiple storage containers are accommodated throughout the entire internal space of the tube body, the lid can be removed by inserting a new storage container from the bottom of the tube body.
[0011] With this configuration, when multiple storage containers are stored in the entire internal space of the cylindrical body, a new storage container can be inserted from the bottom of the cylindrical body and the lid can be removed, eliminating the need to open the lid and reach in from above to remove a storage container. This makes the storage container storage cylinder easy to use.
[0012] Another characteristic feature is that the support portion is composed of a plurality of biasing members that bias the storage container inward.
[0013] As in this configuration, if the support portion is composed of multiple biasing members that bias the storage container inward, the support force of the storage container is increased, and the biasing members can be easily added because they elastically deform when the storage container is inserted.
[0014] Another characteristic feature is that a portion of the circumferential side surface of the cylindrical body is open in the vertical direction.
[0015] As in this configuration, if a portion of the tube body along the circumferential direction of the side surface is open in the vertical direction, it is possible to insert a storage container from the side in addition to the vertical direction, which is highly convenient.
[0016] Another characteristic feature is that the support portion is composed of a comb-tooth-shaped member having an annular base portion fixed to the inner surface of the cylindrical main body and a plurality of teeth portion that protrude inward so as to curve upward from the annular base and are elastically deformable.
[0017] If the support part is made of a comb-tooth member as in this configuration, it is easy to manufacture and can prevent the storage container from falling off the tube body. Also, if the annular base of the comb-tooth member is fixed to the inside surface of the tube body and multiple elastically deformable teeth are formed so as to protrude inward and curve upward from the annular base, it is easy to insert the storage container from below and can reliably prevent the storage container from falling off when the storage container is positioned above the teeth.
[0018] Another characteristic configuration is that the support portion is composed of a plurality of locking members that are locked to the inner surface of the tube main body, and the locking members are freely movable upward while their movement downward is restricted.
[0019] As in this configuration, if the support portion is configured with a locking member that is freely movable upward but whose downward movement is restricted, it is possible to mass-produce locking members of the same shape, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.
[0020] Another characteristic configuration is that the support portion is fixed to the inner surface of the tube body and is composed of a number of push buttons that retract when pressed and protrude when the pressure is released, and the push buttons have an inclined portion that is inclined from the lower end so that the amount of protrusion on the upper side is greater than the amount of protrusion on the lower side.
[0021] If the support section is made up of multiple push buttons with inclined sections that slope from the bottom so that the upper part protrudes more than the lower part, as in this configuration, when a storage container is placed from below, the push buttons retract and the storage container positions itself above the push buttons, releasing the pressure and allowing the push buttons to support the storage container. Therefore, despite the simple structure, the push buttons can reliably support the storage container.
[0022] Another characteristic configuration is that the tubular body is composed of a plurality of tubular members divided along the vertical direction, and the plurality of tubular members are connected via a support shaft in a state in which they can rotate around the support shaft.
[0023] As in this configuration, by constructing the cylindrical body from a plurality of divided cylindrical members and making these cylindrical members rotatable, it is possible to take out the long-term preserved food to be consumed at any time.
[0024] Another characteristic feature is that the tube body is formed with a through hole through which air can be discharged.
[0025] As in this configuration, by providing the cylindrical body with a through hole through which air can be discharged, it is easy to insert storage containers from below even when many storage containers are housed in the cylindrical body.
[0026] The storage device may include a back portion that stores a plurality of the storage container storage tubes arranged horizontally, and a seat portion that protrudes forward from the back portion and can be used as a seat. The storage device may include legs that store the storage container storage tubes vertically, and a table portion that is supported by the legs and can be used as a storage stand.
[0027] As in this configuration, a storage device that houses storage container storage tubes can be used on indoor or outdoor chairs or tables set up in evacuation shelters, etc., and under normal circumstances, the storage container on the top that has the closest expiration date can be consumed, and in an emergency, the storage container storage tubes can be distributed and used as emergency food.

[0029] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a storage container housing cylinder and a housing that houses the storage container housing cylinder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a storage container housing cylinder 100 for emergency food storage will be described as an example of a storage container housing cylinder. However, the embodiment is not limited to the following embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention. Hereinafter, the direction along the vertical direction (gravity direction) will be referred to as the up-down direction.
[0030] As shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the storage container housing cylinder 100 is configured to be able to display the storage containers 1 in which disaster prevention foods (an example of long-term storage foods) are stored, and to allow the storage containers 1 to be first-in, first-out. The storage container housing cylinder 100 includes a cylinder body 2 capable of storing a plurality of storage containers 1 arranged vertically, and a support part 3 arranged on the inner surface of the cylinder body 2 and supporting the storage containers 1. The cylinder body 2 in this embodiment has a predetermined length in the vertical direction (for example, 1 m), and can store a sufficient amount of storage containers 1 as disaster prevention foods in an emergency. The cylinder body 2 has both ends in the vertical direction open so that the storage containers 1 can be first-in, first-out, and the storage containers 1 can be arranged vertically. "First-in, first-out" means that it is possible to stack the containers from bottom to top in order of the furthest expiration date, according to the rule of time "put new things on top of old things". The cylinder body 2 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a square cylinder with a polygonal cross section, and is not particularly limited.
[0031] In this way, since the tube body 2 capable of storing multiple storage containers 1 lined up in the vertical direction is provided, the storage container storage tube 100 displays the storage containers 1 vertically. In addition, since the support parts 3 for supporting the storage containers 1 are arranged on the inner surface of the tube body 2, the storage space can be utilized efficiently. Since the storage container storage tube 100 is a tube in which multiple storage containers 1 are lined up in the vertical direction, not only can it be carried as is in the event of a disaster, but it is also highly convenient since it makes effective use of the vertical space of the display shelf.
[0032] Furthermore, since both top and bottom ends of the tube body 2 are open to allow the storage containers 1 to be stored on a first-in, first-out basis, for example, by storing the storage containers 1 from bottom to top in order of their nearest expiration date, it becomes possible to consume the storage container 1 at the top with the nearest expiration date by inserting a new storage container 1 with a longer expiration date (solid line in FIG. 1) from the bottom. In this way, the storage container storage tube 100 is highly convenient while efficiently utilizing the storage space.
[0033] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a storage container housing cylinder 100 according to the first embodiment. The cylinder body 2 is made of a cylindrical transparent plastic container, and can store cans, beverage cases, etc., arranged vertically as storage containers 1 (broken lines in FIG. 1). The support part 3 is made of a plurality of (ten in this embodiment) leaf springs 31 (one example of a biasing member) that bias the storage container 1 inward, and the leaf springs 31 are fixed to the inner surface of the cylinder body 2 by adhesion or the like in a state in which the adjacent leaf springs 31 are inverted upside down so that the biasing parts 31a of each leaf spring 31 are staggered in the vertical position along the circumferential direction. The plurality of leaf springs 31 arranged along the circumferential direction can insert the storage container 1 inside in a natural state, and when the storage container 1 is inserted, they are elastically deformed outward, and the storage container 1 is biased inward. Note that the adjacent leaf springs 31 may not be inverted upside down, and the biasing parts 31a may be in the same vertical position along the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the biasing member is not limited to the leaf spring 31, and may be rubber or the like as long as it is a member that biases the storage container 1 inward.
[0034] The storage container housing cylinder 100 in this embodiment further includes a lid 4 that closes the upper opening of the cylinder body 2. When a plurality of storage containers 1 are housed throughout the internal space of the cylinder body 2, this lid 4 is pushed out and removed by inserting a new storage container 1 (solid line in FIG. 1) from below the cylinder body 2 to the uppermost storage container 1 (see dashed line in FIG. 1). As a result, since the uppermost storage container 1 is the storage container 1 inserted the oldest, the storage container 1 with the closest expiration date can be removed. In other words, both ends of the cylinder body 2 in the vertical direction are open so that the storage containers 1 can be placed in a first-in, first-out order.
[0035] The tube body 2 has a cylindrical shape with a predetermined length (for example, 1 m) in the vertical direction, and the support parts 3 are provided at multiple locations in the vertical direction. The tube body 2 is also provided with through holes 2a capable of discharging air. The positions and number of the through holes 2a are not particularly limited, and any shape may be used as long as the holes are capable of discharging air, and illustrations are omitted in the following embodiments. The number of the support parts 3 in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction are set so that the storage containers 1 do not fall when stacked to the fullest in the entire internal space of the tube body 2 due to the biasing force of the leaf spring 31. In the example shown in FIG. 1, two storage containers 1 are supported by one leaf spring 31 in the vertical direction and ten leaf springs 31 in the circumferential direction.
[0036] In this embodiment, when multiple storage containers 1 are stored in the entire internal space of the cylindrical body 2, a new storage container 1 is inserted from the underside of the cylindrical body 2, and the lid 4 is removed, so there is no need to open the lid 4 and insert your hand from above to remove the storage container 1. This makes the storage-container storage cylinder 100 easy to use.
[0037] In addition, since the support portion 3 is composed of a plurality of leaf springs 31 that bias the storage container 1 inward, the support force of the storage container 1 is increased, and since the leaf springs 31 elastically deform when the storage container 1 is inserted, the storage container 1 can be easily added.
[0038] [Second embodiment] 2 shows a perspective view of the bottom side of a storage-container housing cylinder 100 according to the second embodiment. The cylinder body 2 is made of a cylindrical transparent plastic container, and can store cans, beverage cases, etc., lined up vertically as storage containers 1. The support part 3 is made of a comb-like member 32 integrally formed with an annular base part 32a fixed to the inside surface of the cylinder body 2 and multiple elastically deformable teeth parts 32b protruding inward so as to curve upward from the annular base part 32a (see the dashed line in FIG. 2 and its enlarged view).
[0039] As shown by the broken line and its enlarged view in Fig. 2, the support part 3 has an upward biasing force capable of preventing the multiple storage containers 1 from falling, and when the storage container 1 is inserted from below, it easily elastically deforms upward, but when the storage container 1 is housed in the tube body 2, the bottom surface of the storage container 1 abuts against the teeth 32b, preventing it from falling. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the annular base 32a is fixed to the bottom of the inner surface of the tube body 2 by welding, integral molding, adhesive, or the like, and the multiple teeth 32b support the weight of the multiple storage containers 1 in a distributed manner, preventing the annular base 32a from peeling off or breaking. The teeth 32b may be trapezoidal in shape with a larger diameter as it approaches the annular base 32a, or may have any shape as long as it is curved upward.
[0040] In this embodiment, the thickness of the annular base 32a and the number and shape of the teeth 32b are set so that the biasing force of the teeth 32b will not cause a predetermined number of storage containers 1 to fall when stacked. The number of support parts 3 in the vertical direction is set so that the storage containers 1 will not fall when stacked to the fullest in the entire internal space of the tube body 2.
[0041] In this way, constructing the support part 3 with the comb-tooth-shaped member 32 facilitates manufacturing and prevents the storage container 1 from falling off the cylindrical body 2. Furthermore, by fixing the annular base 32a of the comb-tooth-shaped member 32 to the inside surface of the cylindrical body 2 and forming a plurality of elastically deformable teeth 32b that protrude inward and curve upward from the annular base 32a, the storage container 1 can be easily inserted from below, and when the storage container 1 is positioned above the teeth 32b, it is possible to reliably prevent the storage container 1 from falling off.
[0042] [Third embodiment] FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a storage container housing cylinder 100 according to the third embodiment. The cylinder body 2 in this embodiment has an opening 21 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3) in which a part along the circumferential direction of the side surface is opened in the vertical direction, compared to the cylinder body 2 according to the first embodiment. This opening 21 may be large enough to accommodate the storage container 1 from the side. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a PET bottle is accommodated in the storage container housing cylinder 100 as the storage container 1, and the leaf spring 31 is omitted at the opening 21. The other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, so the description will be omitted. If a part along the circumferential direction of the side surface of the cylinder body 2 is opened in the vertical direction as in this embodiment, it is possible to insert the storage container 1 from the side in addition to the vertical direction, which is highly convenient.
[0043] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a storage container housing cylinder 100 according to the fourth embodiment. The cylinder body 2 in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of cylindrical members 22 divided along the vertical direction, compared to the cylinder body 2 according to the second embodiment, and the plurality of cylindrical members 22 are connected via the support shaft 23 in a state in which they can rotate around the support shaft 23. In the example shown in FIG. 2, one storage container 1 can be taken out by rotating one cylindrical member 22 shown by the dashed line around the support shaft 23. If the cylinder body 2 is composed of a plurality of divided cylindrical members 22 and these cylindrical members 22 are rotatable as in this embodiment, the long-term preserved food to be consumed can be taken out at any time.
[0044] [Fifth embodiment] FIG. 5 shows a bottom view of the storage container housing tube 100 according to the fifth embodiment. The support part 3 in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of locking members 33 (dotted and dashed lines in FIG. 5) that are locked to the inner surface of the tube body 2, and the locking members 33 are movable upward and are restricted from moving downward. When the storage container 1 (not shown) is inserted from below, the locking members 33 abut against the storage container 1 and move upward as shown by solid lines in FIG. 5. When the storage container 1 is positioned above the locking members 33, the locking members 33 move downward to a predetermined position due to the weight of the storage container 1 as shown by dashed and dotted lines in FIG. 5, and support the storage container 1. At this time, the locking members 33 are connected to each other by string-like members 33a, so that they can be moved up and down as a unit. In the example shown in FIG. 5, only some of the locking members 33 are shown, but the locking members 33 are positioned continuously in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, if the support portion 3 is configured with the locking member 33 that is movable upward but whose downward movement is restricted, it is possible to mass-produce the locking members 33 of the same shape, resulting in high manufacturing efficiency.
[0045] [Sixth embodiment] FIG. 6 shows a side view of a storage container housing cylinder 100 according to the sixth embodiment. The support part 3 in this embodiment is fixed to the inner surface of the cylinder body 2 and is composed of a plurality of push buttons 34 that retract when pressed and protrude when the pressure is released. The push buttons 34 have an inclined part 34a inclined from the lower end so that the upper protrusion is greater than the lower protrusion. The cylinder body 2 in this embodiment is not cylindrical like the cylinder body 2 in the above-mentioned embodiment, but is formed in a rectangular prism shape, and the storage container 1 is in the shape of a box dish with an open top on which retort food (see the broken line in FIG. 6) as a long-term storage food can be placed. As shown in FIG. 7, when a new storage container 1 is inserted from below, the new storage container 1 abutting against the inclined part 34a retracts the push button 34 against the biasing force of the spring 34b, while the storage container 1 supported by the push button 34 is pushed up, and the new storage container 1 is supported on the push button 34. It is preferable to provide a base and push up the new storage container 1 so that the new storage container 1 overcomes the push button 34. In this embodiment, the box-shaped storage containers 1 are stacked inside the cylindrical body 2, but storage containers 1 made of large PET bottles may also be stacked in a horizontal position.
[0046] In this embodiment, the support portion 3 is composed of multiple push buttons 34 having inclined portions 34a that are inclined from the bottom end so that the amount of protrusion on the upper side is greater than the amount of protrusion on the lower side, so that when the storage container 1 is placed from below, the push buttons 34 retract and then the storage container 1 positions itself above the push buttons 34, releasing the pressure, and the push buttons 34 support the storage container 1. Therefore, despite the simple structure, the push buttons 34 can reliably support the storage container 1.
[0047] [Seventh embodiment] FIG. 8 shows a storage device X that stores a storage container storage tube 100 according to the seventh embodiment. The storage device X in this embodiment is configured as an indoor or outdoor chair that includes a back portion 41 that stores multiple storage container storage tubes 100 arranged horizontally, and a seat portion 42 that protrudes forward from the back portion 41 and can be used as a seat. The top surface of the back portion 41 may have a lid 4 that is locked so that it can be opened only by the manager of the storage device X. In the example of FIG. 8, the storage container storage tube 100 is stored in the back portion 41, but the storage container storage tube 100 may also be stored in the seat portion 42, or other emergency equipment may be stored in the seat portion 42.
[0048] [Eighth embodiment] FIG. 9 shows a container X that houses a storage container housing cylinder 100 according to the eighth embodiment. The container X in this embodiment is an indoor or outdoor table that includes a leg 51 that houses the storage container housing cylinder 100 (see the dashed line in FIG. 9) in a vertical direction, and a table part 52 that is supported by a plurality of legs 51 and can be used as a storage stand. FIG. 9 shows the storage container housing cylinder 100 housed in one leg 51, but other legs 51 also house storage container housing cylinders 100. In the lower region of the leg 51, a pressing part 51b urged upward by a spring 51a is visible from the outside, and an opening window 51c is formed into which a storage container 1 can be inserted. This pressing part 51b is wedge-shaped, and after the pressing part 51b moves downward by the storage container 1 inserted from the opening window 51c, the storage container 1 housed in the cylinder body 2 moves upward by the urging force of the spring 51a and is supported by the support part 3. At this time, the uppermost storage container 1 is ejected from the table portion 52, and the storage container 1 with the closest expiration date can be removed.
[0049] As in the seventh and eighth embodiments, the storage device X that houses the storage container storage tubes 100 can be used on indoor or outdoor chairs or tables installed at evacuation shelters, etc., and under normal circumstances, the storage container 1 on the top that has the closest expiration date can be consumed, and in an emergency, the storage container storage tubes 100 can be distributed to be used as portable emergency food.
[0050] [Ninth embodiment] FIG. 10 shows an emergency entrance 6 of the storage container storage cylinder 100 according to the ninth embodiment. The storage container storage cylinder 100 in this embodiment is assumed to be one in the first to fifth embodiments. There are cases where the storage container 1 is mistakenly inserted into the storage container storage cylinder 100 or has a different purpose of use, and must be taken out in a hurry. Therefore, in this embodiment, the emergency entrance 6 is provided near the lower opening of the storage container storage cylinder 100, and is structured to be locked from the outside. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the emergency entrance 6 is provided at the lower opening of the storage container storage cylinder 100, but the shape and position are not limited as long as the storage container 1 can be taken out from inside the storage container storage cylinder 100.
[0051] [Tenth embodiment] FIG. 11 shows an emergency entrance 6 of the storage container storage cylinder 100 according to the tenth embodiment. The storage container storage cylinder 100 in this embodiment is assumed to be the same as that in the sixth embodiment. For the same reason as in the ninth embodiment, the emergency entrance 6 that allows the storage container 1 to be removed in an emergency is provided on one side of the storage container storage cylinder 100. In this embodiment, since the storage container 1 is in a box-dish shape, a large door that allows the storage container 1 to be removed from the entire one side is provided, and the door is structured to be locked from the outside. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the emergency entrance 6 is provided on the entire one side of the storage container storage cylinder 100, but the shape and position are not limited as long as the storage container 1 can be removed from inside the storage container storage cylinder 100.
[0052] [Other embodiments] (1) As shown in Fig. 12, the comb-tooth-shaped member 32 shown in the second embodiment and the locking member 33 shown in the fifth embodiment may be combined. This can further increase the supporting force of the support part 3. In this way, the above-mentioned embodiments may be combined as appropriate. (2) In the above embodiment, the cylindrical body 2 is provided with the through-hole 2a capable of discharging air.
