Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage box that can be installed easily and at low cost, and has high structural stability and anti-theft properties. [Background technology]

[0002] When installing storage boxes such as delivery boxes, a method of connecting the storage box to a concrete base that is firmly fixed with anchors is widely used to improve structural stability and security. However, since fixing the concrete base with anchors requires specialized tools and techniques, it is not easy for individual users to install the storage box. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for fixing a storage box to a support stand by inserting a concrete block between two supports attached to the support stand using recesses provided at both ends of the concrete block, thereby easily utilizing the weight of the concrete block to improve structural stability and security without the need for anchors.

[0004] However, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot be said to be cheap or easy to install, for reasons such as the need to process the concrete blocks to fit the shape of the support stand and the need to lift heavy objects such as concrete blocks to a position higher than the support.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a storage box that can be installed easily and at low cost, and that has high structural stability and security. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 comprises a box-shaped storage section capable of storing an object therein, a stand, and a weight, the stand having a bottom surface on which the weight is placed and a columnar support portion protruding upward from the center of the bottom surface, the weight being stacked on top of the bottom surface so as to be higher than the support portion, the storage section and the top surface of the support portion of the stand being connected using a screwable fixing means, and the weight being fixed by being pressed against the bottom surface of the storage section. In addition to the above configuration, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that the bottom surface portion is a plate-like shape that is the same as or slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the storage portion. The invention described in claim 3 comprises a box-shaped storage section capable of storing objects therein, and a stand, wherein the stand has a plate-shaped bottom surface that is the same shape as or slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the storage section, and a columnar support portion that protrudes upward from the center of the bottom surface, and a plurality of rectangular weights having a predetermined weight are stacked on the upper surface of the bottom surface so that they are higher than the height of the support portion, and the storage section and the upper surface of the support portion of the stand are fixed using a fixing means, and the weights are fixed by being pressed against the bottom surface of the storage section. Claim 4 In addition to the above configuration, the invention described in (1) is characterized in that the weight comprises a rectangular weight and a sheet-like elastic member, both of which are placed one on top of the other and pressed together. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, by using multiple weights, the total weight can be made large enough to function as a weight with high structural stability and security, while the weight of each weight can be set light, making installation easy. Furthermore, since no processing of the weights is required, installation can be performed at low cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a storage box of the present invention, (a) is a front view, and (b) is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Fig. 1(a). Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a stand. As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the storage box 1 has a door D and a box-shaped storage section 2 capable of storing objects therein. As shown in FIG. 2, a stand 3 is provided below the storage section 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the stand 3 has a bottom surface 3a that is the same shape as the bottom surface 2a of the storage section 2 but slightly smaller than the bottom surface 2a, and a square pillar-shaped support portion 3b that protrudes upward from the center of the bottom surface 3a. A plurality of rectangular bricks 4 are laid between the bottom surface 3a of the stand 3 and the bottom surface 2a of the storage section 2 as weights. Using bricks 4 as weights improves the aesthetic appearance compared to using concrete blocks or the like as weights.

[0010] Next, a method for installing the storage box 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view showing the inside of the circular frame M1 in FIG. First, the stand 3 is installed at the location where the storage box 1 is to be installed. At this time, the stand 3 may be firmly fixed to the installation location using through holes H provided in the bottom surface portion 3a of the stand 3 and a fixing means such as a peg (not shown). Next, a predetermined number of bricks 4 having a predetermined weight are laid on the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 3a of the stand 3. At this time, the bricks 4 are piled up until the height of the laid bricks 4 is slightly higher than the height of the support portion 3b. Thereafter, the storage unit 2 is placed on top of the support portion 3b, and fixing means 6 such as bolts and nuts are inserted and screwed through the insertion holes 5 provided in the bottom surface 2a of the storage unit 2 and the through holes 7 provided in the upper surface of the support portion 3b. This connects the storage unit 2 and the base 3, and by tightening the fixing means 6, the bottom surface 2a of the storage unit 2, the bricks 4, and the bottom surface 3a of the base 3 are pressed together, as shown in Fig. 4, and the laid bricks 4 are fixed in place.

[0011] In this way, by using multiple bricks 4, the total weight is heavy enough to function as a weight with high structural stability and security, while each brick is lightweight, making installation easy. Furthermore, since there is no need to process the bricks 4, installation can be performed at low cost. Furthermore, since the weight can be fixed by pressure welding using only screwing, installation can be performed easily and inexpensively, even without special materials such as adhesives. Furthermore, since the bricks 4 can be fixed by pressure welding using only screwing, installation can be performed easily and inexpensively, even without special materials such as adhesives. Furthermore, since the storage section 2 has a door D, providing a lock on the door D prevents anyone other than the user who owns the key from accessing the fixing means 6, further improving security.

[0012] The storage box 1 of the above form comprises a box-shaped storage section 2 capable of storing objects therein, and a stand 3. The stand 3 comprises a plate-shaped bottom section 3a that is the same shape as the bottom surface 2a of the storage section 2 and slightly smaller than the bottom surface 2a, and a columnar support section 3b that protrudes upward from the center of the bottom surface 3a. A plurality of rectangular bricks 4 having a predetermined weight are stacked on the upper surface of the bottom surface 3a so that they are higher than the height of the support section 3b. The storage section 2 and the upper surface of the support section 3b of the stand 3 are connected using a screwable fixing means 6, and the bricks 4 are fixed by pressing them against the bottom surface 3a and the bottom surface 2a of the storage section 2. According to the storage box 1 configured in this way, by using multiple bricks 4, the total weight can be made heavy enough to function as a weight with high structural stability and anti-theft properties, while the weight of each brick 4 is light, making it easy to install. Also, since no processing of the bricks 4 is required, installation can be done at low cost. Furthermore, since the bricks 4 can be fixed by pressure welding simply by screwing the fixing means 6, installation can be done cheaply, easily, and with anti-theft properties, even without special materials such as adhesives.

[0013] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the modified example taken along line AA in Fig. 1(a) Fig. 6 is an enlarged view showing the inside of a circular frame M2 in Fig. 5. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in the modified storage box 1a, the height of the laid bricks 4 is lower than the height of the support portion 3b, and a sheet-like elastic member 8 is placed between the bottom surface 2a of the storage portion 2 and the topmost brick 4. Therefore, by arranging the elastic members 8, even if the height of the laid bricks 4 is lower than the height of the support parts 2b, the bottom part 3a, the bricks 4, and the storage part 2 can be pressed together via the elastic members 8. This allows the storage box 1a, which has high structural stability and anti-theft properties, to be installed easily and at low cost.

[0014] 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 storage section may be of any shape and size as long as it can be pressed against the bottom surface of the stand and the bricks, and may be something like a planter without a door. Furthermore, the weights can be anything that, when used in multiples, has a total weight that ensures structural stability and security, and in addition to bricks, they can also be anything that is easy to handle individually, such as small concrete blocks. Furthermore, the shape of the bottom surface and support part of the stand can be set arbitrarily, for example, to a circular shape in a plan view, as long as it can be connected to the storage part and can ensure structural stability and security by being pressed against the storage part and the weight. The elastic members may be disposed between the weights or below the weights as long as they can adjust the height of the support and the weight. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the shape and number of the elastic members. [Explanation of symbols]
