[0004] However, the delivery box disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a large number of parts and is complicated to manufacture. Therefore, it cannot be said that it can be manufactured cheaply. In particular, since delivery boxes are not used for long periods of time, it is desirable that they be inexpensively available in addition to having high security.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a delivery box that can be manufactured inexpensively and can be made compact when not in use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is a box-shaped delivery box having a storage space capable of storing items therein, the delivery box having a top plate, left and right side plates, and an opening and closing plate that closes the front surface. And can be stacked verticallyThe present invention relates to a storage device for a storage unit that includes a main body and a drawer that can be stored within the main body, and the opening and closing plate is hinged at its upper end edge to the upper plate so as to be openable and closable. The drawer includes a front wall and left and right side walls that are disposed rearward from both left and right end edges of the front wall and are stored inside the side plates of the main body, and both left and right side walls are freely expandable and contractible in the front-rear direction between a stored position where the front wall is stored within the main body and an extended position where the front wall is pulled out to the outside of the main body. The present invention relates to a storage device for a storage unit for a storage unit that includes a front wall and a drawer that can be stored within the main body, and the opening and closing plate closes the front opening of the main body. From state 1, the opening / closing plate is rotated to open the front opening of the main body, the front wall is pulled out of the main body, and the opening / closing plate is connected to the top plate of the main body, changing the state to a second state in which the top opening of the drawer is closed by the opening / closing plate, and the space surrounded by the top plate, left and right side plates, the opening / closing plate, the front wall, and the left and right side walls becomes a storage space, and by opening and closing the top opening of the pulled-out drawer with the opening / closing plate, it becomes possible to put items in and take them out of the storage space through the top opening of the drawer. In this way, when multiple main bodies are stacked vertically, the opening and closing plate of the lower stage becomes the bottom of the drawer section stored in the main body section arranged in the upper stage when the drawer section stored in the main body section arranged in the lower stage is put into the second state. It is characterized by: Claim 2 The invention described in, in addition to the above configuration, is characterized in that a handle is provided at the center of the lower end of the opening and closing plate, and a locking portion is provided on the front wall to which the handle can be locked, and when the delivery box arranged on the upper level is put into the second state, the handle of the delivery box arranged on the lower level and in the second state locks into the locking portion on the front wall of the delivery box on the upper level to fix its position. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, when not in use, the delivery box can be set in the first state to save space. On the other hand, when storing an item, the delivery box can be set in the second state to form a storage space in which the item can be stored. In addition, since the number of parts that make up the delivery box is small, it can be manufactured inexpensively. In additionEven when multiple delivery boxes are stacked one on top of the other, the advantage of saving space when all the stacked delivery boxes are in the first state can be utilized. Also, by sequentially changing the delivery boxes from the bottom up to the second state, multiple stored items can be stored in the storage spaces of the individual delivery boxes. This provides excellent security and convenience, for example, when stored items are delivered by multiple delivery companies, as each delivery company can use a different delivery box. Claim 2 According to the invention described above, in addition to the above effects, the positions of multiple delivery boxes each containing items are fixed, making them difficult to separate, thereby improving crime prevention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the delivery box of the present invention, where (a) is the first state and (b) is the state where the front opening is opened from the first state. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the delivery box of the present invention, where (a) is the second state and (b) is the state where the upper opening is opened from the second state. As shown in FIG. 1(a), the delivery box 1 includes a main body portion 2. The main body portion 2 includes an opening / closing plate 3, an upper plate 4, and left and right side plates 5, 5. The upper end edge of the opening / closing plate 3 is hinged to the front end edge of the upper plate 4, and as shown in FIG. 1(b), the front opening 2a of the main body portion 2 is provided so as to be openable and closable. Further, an L-shaped handle 10 is provided at the center of the lower end of the opening / closing plate 3. Note that the state shown in FIG. 1(a) where the front opening 2a of the main body portion 2 is closed by the opening / closing plate 3 is the first state of the delivery box 1.

[0010] Further, the delivery box 1 includes a drawer portion 6 that is housed inside the main body portion 2 in the first state. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the drawer portion 6 includes a front wall 7 and left and right side walls 8, 8 that are disposed rearward from the left and right end edges of the front wall 7 and are housed inside the left and right side plates 5, 5 of the main body portion 2. The left and right side walls 8, 8 each consist of a front side wall 8a and a rear side wall 8b. The front side wall 8a is provided so as to be slidable back and forth inside the rear side wall 8b, and the rear side wall 8b is provided so as to be slidable back and forth inside the side plate 5 of the main body portion 2. Thereby, the drawer portion 6 can be pulled forward from the storage position shown in FIG. 1(b) where the front wall 7 of the drawer portion 6 is housed inside the main body portion 2 to the state shown in FIG. 2(a). The drawer portion 6 is stretchable in the front-rear direction between the storage position where the front wall 7 is housed inside the main body portion 2 and the extended position where the front wall 7 is pulled out of the main body portion 2 as shown in FIG. 2(a).

[0011] The second state of the delivery box 1 is shown in FIG. 2(a) in which the drawer 6 is in the extended position, the opening / closing plate 3 is connected to the top plate 4 of the main body 2, and the top opening 9 of the drawer 6 (FIG. 2(b)) is closed by the opening / closing plate 3. The delivery box 1 is installed so as to be in close contact with the wall surface W of the residence, and the top plate 4, the left and right side panels 5,5, the opening / closing plate 3, the front wall 7, the left and right side walls 8,8, as well as the wall surface W and floor surface F of the installation location form a box shape, and the space surrounded by these forms the storage space S. With the delivery box 1 in the second state, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the top opening 9 of the drawn-out drawer 6 is opened and closed by the opening / closing plate 3, so that the stored items can be put in and taken out of the storage space S through the top opening 9 of the drawer 6. In addition, when the stored items are stored in the storage space S, the opening / closing plate 3 can be locked with the lock K provided on the opening / closing plate 3 to prevent the opening / closing plate 3 from being opened or closed, thereby maintaining crime prevention.

[0012] In this way, the delivery box 1 can save space by being in the first state when not in use and no items are stored in it. On the other hand, when storing items in it, the delivery box 1 can be switched from the first state to the second state to form the storage space S, so that any item of a size that can be stored in the storage space S can be stored inside.

[0013] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the delivery boxes of the present invention are stacked, where (a) shows all the delivery boxes in the first state, and (b) shows only the delivery box in the lower row in the second state. Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the delivery boxes of the present invention are stacked, where (a) shows all the delivery boxes in the second state, and (b) is an enlarged view showing the inside of the circular frame M1 in Fig. 4(a). As shown in Figures 3 and 4, delivery boxes 1 can be installed by stacking multiple delivery boxes 1a and 1b one on top of the other. Delivery boxes 1a and 1b can be connected and fixed using any method that does not prevent the state change between the first state and the second state. When two delivery boxes 1a, 1b are stacked, similarly to when delivery box 1 is installed alone, all delivery boxes 1a, 1b are in the first state, thereby enabling space to be saved.

[0014] When delivery boxes 1a and 1b are installed one above the other, the lower delivery box 1a is first switched to the second state to store an item, as shown in Fig. 3(b). When delivery box 1a is already in the second state and an item is stored in storage space S of delivery box 1a, when a new item is to be stored in storage space S of delivery box 1b, delivery box 1b immediately above delivery box 1a in the second state is switched from the first state to the second state as shown in Fig. 4(a), so that another item can be stored in delivery box 1b. At this time, opening / closing plate 3 of delivery box 1a and upper plate 4 of main body 2 function as the floor of delivery box 1b. Furthermore, at this time, handle 10 provided on opening / closing plate 3 of delivery box 1a engages with engaging portion 11 having a through-hole shape provided on front wall 7 of drawer portion 6 of delivery box 1b, so that the positions of delivery boxes 1a and 1b are fixed and it becomes difficult to separate delivery boxes 1a and 1b, which, together with the use of lock K, improves security.

[0015] The delivery box 1 of the above-mentioned form is box-shaped with a storage space S capable of storing items therein, and comprises a main body 2 having a top panel 4 and left and right side panels 5,5 and an opening / closing panel 3 closing the front, and a drawer 6 that can be stored within the main body 2, the opening / closing panel 3 being hinged at its upper edge to the top panel 4 so as to be openable and closable, the drawer 6 comprises a front wall 7 and left and right side walls 8,8 that are disposed rearward from both left and right ends of the front wall 7 and are housed within the side panels 5,5 of the main body 2, the left and right side walls 8,8 being freely expandable in the front-to-rear direction between a stored position where the front wall 7 is stored within the main body 2 and an extended position where the front wall 7 is pulled out to the outside of the main body, and the drawer 6 is configured such that the front wall 7 is stored within the main body 2, Furthermore, by changing the state from a first state in which the opening / closing plate 3 blocks the front opening 2a of the main body section 2 to a second state in which the opening / closing plate 3 is rotated to open the front opening 2a of the main body section 2, the front wall 7 is pulled out of the main body section 2, the opening / closing plate 3 is connected to the top plate 4 of the main body section 2, and the upper opening 9 of the drawer section 6 is blocked by the opening / closing plate 3, the space surrounded by the top plate 4, the left and right side panels 5,5, the opening / closing plate 3, the front wall 7, the left and right side panels 8,8, the rear wall W and the floor F of the delivery box 1 becomes the storage space S, and by opening and closing the upper opening 9 of the pulled-out drawer section 6 with the opening / closing plate 3, it becomes possible to put items in and take them out of the storage space S through the upper opening 9 of the drawer section 6. According to the delivery box 1 configured in this manner, when not in use, it is possible to save space by setting the delivery box 1 in the first state. On the other hand, when storing an item, the item can be stored in the storage space S formed by setting the delivery box 1 in the second state. In addition, since the number of parts that make up the delivery box 1 is small, it can be manufactured inexpensively.

[0016] In addition, the main body parts 2 can be arranged one above the other, and when multiple main body parts 2 are stacked one above the other, the drawer part 6 stored in the main body part 2 arranged in the lower tier is put into the second state, and the opening and closing plate 3 becomes the bottom of the drawer part 6 stored in the main body part 2 arranged in the upper tier when it is put into the second state. Therefore, even when multiple delivery boxes 1a, 1b are stacked vertically, it is possible to utilize the advantage of space saving when all the stacked delivery boxes 1a, 1b are in the first state. Also, by sequentially switching the delivery boxes 1a from the bottom to the second state, multiple stored items can be stored in the storage spaces S, S of the individual delivery boxes 1a, 1b. This allows, for example, even when stored items are delivered by multiple delivery companies, each delivery company can use a different delivery box 1a, 1b, resulting in excellent crime prevention and convenience.

[0017] In addition, a handle 10 is provided at the center of the lower end of the opening and closing plate 3, and a locking portion 11 to which the handle 10 can be locked is provided on the front wall 7, so that when the delivery box 1b arranged on the upper level is placed in the second state, the handle 10 of the delivery box 1a arranged on the lower level and in the second state is locked to the locking portion 11 on the front wall 7 of the delivery box 1b, and its position is fixed. Therefore, the positions of delivery boxes 1a, 1b storing items therein are fixed and the boxes cannot be easily separated, improving crime prevention.

[0018] The present invention has been described above based on the illustrated examples, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the main body may have a back plate on the rear side. In addition, the left and right side walls of the drawer may be of any other mechanism, such as a bellows mechanism, as long as they can be freely expanded and contracted between the storage position and the extended position. Even if the drawer is of the sliding type, the mechanism for sliding and the number of plate-like members can be set as desired. Additionally, three or more delivery boxes may be stacked one on top of the other. In addition, the method of engaging the handle with the locked portion can be any method that will engage with each other when multiple delivery boxes stacked one on top of the other reach the second state. The handle may be provided at any position on the opening / closing plate. In that case, the engaging portion is provided at a position on the front wall where the handle can be engaged.
