[0015] The storage case (clothing case) will be described below with reference to the drawings. The storage case of this embodiment is capable of storing clothing and other items inside the main body, and is, for example, a multi-tiered storage case stacked vertically in multiple tiers. In the following description, the front side of the storage case will be designated F, the rear side R, the width direction W, and the height direction (vertical direction) H. [First embodiment]

[0016] As shown in Fig. 1, storage case 11 includes a frame body 12 and a case main body 13 housed inside frame body 12. Storage case 11 is configured by stacking frame body 12 and case main body 13 in multiple stages in the vertical direction. As shown in Figs. 15 and 16, case main body 13 is configured to be movable between an inner position P1 located inside frame body 12 and a drawn-out position P2 drawn out forward from inner position P1. Furthermore, case main body 13 can also be completely removed from frame body 12, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0017] As shown in Figures 5 and 14, case body 13 has a main body 14 in the shape of a mass (a box with an open top) and a front panel 15 that is detachably attached to the front of main body 14. Main body 14 and front panel 15 are formed, for example, from a synthetic resin material. Front panel 15 is configured in a substantially flat plate shape and functions as a decorative panel that covers the front of case body 13. Front panel 15 has a finger hook 16 at its lower end for a user to hook their finger on.

[0018] As shown in Figure 14, the case main body 13 (main body portion 14) has, on its bottom plate surface 13A, a pair of first protrusions 21 and a pair of second protrusions 22 provided on the rear side R of the pair of first protrusions 21.

[0019] The pair of first protrusions 21 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction W. The pair of second protrusions 22 are also spaced apart from each other in the width direction W in the same manner.

[0020] Each of the pair of first protrusions 21 is formed in a mountain shape protruding downward from the bottom plate surface 13A. The first protrusion 21 includes an apex portion 21A provided at a position protruding most downward from the bottom plate surface 13A of the main body portion 14, a first side portion 21B provided on the front side F of the apex portion 21A, and a second side portion 21C provided on the rear side R of the apex portion 21A. The first side portion 21B is inclined in a direction approaching the bottom plate surface 13A of the main body portion 14 as it approaches the front side F. The second side portion 21C is inclined in a direction approaching the bottom plate surface 13A of the main body portion 14 as it approaches the rear side R.

[0021] Each of the pair of second protrusions 22 protrudes downward from the bottom plate surface 13A. The second protrusions 22 include a front wall portion 22A that extends in the vertical direction H and forms a flat surface, and a rear wall portion 22B that is provided rearward of the front wall portion 22A. The rear wall portion 22B extends from the lower end of the front wall portion 22A and is provided obliquely so as to approach the bottom plate surface 13A of the main body portion 14 as it approaches the rear side R.

[0022] 2, 3, and 6, the frame 12 has a pair of vertical wall portions 23 extending in the vertical direction (height direction) H, a pair of bottom wall portions 24 protruding inward in the width direction W from the lower ends of the vertical wall portions 23, a rear wall 25 covering the rear side R of the case body 13, a rod-shaped first connecting rod 26 connecting the pair of bottom wall portions 24, and a rod-shaped second connecting rod 27 connecting the pair of bottom wall portions 24 and provided on the rear side R of the first connecting rod 26. As shown in FIG. 2, the frame 12 may have a substantially flat top plate portion 28 above the pair of vertical wall portions 23 and the rear wall 25. The top plate portion 28 may be made of, for example, a synthetic resin material or a wood material. When the storage case 11 has a frame body 12 on its upper side (in the case of the middle or bottom frame body 12 shown in Figure 1), the bottom wall portion 24 of the upper frame body 12, the first connecting rod 26, and the second connecting rod 27 are provided at the position of the top plate portion 28.

[0023] The pair of vertical wall portions 23 are provided on both sides of the case body 13 located at the inner position P1. Each of the pair of vertical wall portions 23 is formed integrally with each of the pair of bottom wall portions 24. The vertical wall portions 23 are molded integrally with the bottom wall portions 24 using, for example, a synthetic resin material. In other words, the vertical wall portions 23 and the bottom wall portion 24 are formed in an "L" shape when viewed from the front side F.

[0024] The vertical wall portion 23 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 extending in the vertical direction (height direction H). The vertical wall portion 23 has a plurality of protruding pieces 32 at its upper end for engaging with the bottom wall portion 24 and the top plate portion 28 located above it. That is, the bottom wall portion 24 and the top plate portion 28 have a plurality of holes 33 of shapes complementary to the plurality of protruding pieces 32, into which the plurality of protruding pieces 32 can be inserted. This allows a plurality of frames 12 to be installed stacked in the height direction H.

[0025] The pair of bottom wall portions 24 extend from the lower end of the vertical wall portion 23 to the underside of the case body 13 at the inner position P1. The bottom wall portions 24 can smoothly guide the movement of the case body 13 between the inner position P1 and the drawn-out position P2.

[0026] 6, each of the pair of bottom wall portions 24 has a rectangular pipe shape (square pipe shape) that is elongated in the front-rear direction FR and includes a hollow portion 24A therein. The insertion portion 42 of the first connecting rod 26 and the insertion portion 42 of the second connecting rod 27 can be inserted into this hollow portion 24A and fixed therein.

[0027] 3, the rear wall 25 is formed in a flat plate shape from, for example, a synthetic resin material. In this embodiment, the rear wall 25 is configured as a set of two walls, but this is not limited thereto, and the frame body 12 may naturally be configured with a single rear wall 25.

[0028] The rear wall 25 has a flat rear wall main body 25A, a first insertion piece 25B protruding from the upper end of the rear wall main body 25A, and a second insertion piece 25C protruding from the lower end of the rear wall main body 25A. The first insertion piece 25B can be inserted into and fixed to the top plate portion 28 located above the rear wall 25 or the second groove 44 of the upper frame body 12 (second connecting rod 27). The second insertion piece 25C is inserted into and fixed to the groove 43 of the second connecting rod 27 located below the rear wall 25.

[0029] In this embodiment, the second connecting rod 27 is configured in the same form as the first connecting rod 26. The first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 27 are integrally molded from, for example, a synthetic resin material. That is, the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 27 can be formed as a common part using the same mold. For this reason, only the configuration of the first connecting rod 26 will be described below, and a description of the second connecting rod 27, which has the same form, will be omitted.

[0030] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the first connecting rod 26 includes a connecting rod main body 41, a pair of insertion portions 42 provided at both ends of the connecting rod main body 41, a plurality of groove portions 43 recessed from the upper surface of the connecting rod main body 41 and into which the second insertion piece 25C of the rear wall 25 is inserted, a plurality of second groove portions 44 recessed from the lower surface of the connecting rod main body 41 and into which the first insertion piece 25B of the rear wall 25 is inserted, and a recess 45 provided on the upper surface 51 of the connecting rod main body 41.

[0031] Each of the pair of insertion portions 42 is slightly smaller than the bottom wall portion 24, allowing it to be tightly inserted into the hollow portion 24A and fixed to the bottom wall portion 24. The insertion portion 42 includes a claw portion 42A on its underside for engaging with a through-hole (not shown) provided in the bottom wall portion 24. By inserting the claw portion 42A into the through-hole, a structure is achieved in which the insertion portion 42, once inserted, does not easily come out of the bottom wall portion 24. This structure also prevents the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 27 from being attached upside down to the bottom wall portion 24. The insertion portion 42 can also be separated from the hollow portion 24A.

[0032] The connecting rod body 41 has an upper surface 51 , a bottom surface 52 opposite to the upper surface 51 , and a pair of side surfaces 53 adjacent to the upper surface 51 and the bottom surface 52 .

[0033] The recess 45 is elongated and extends substantially the entire length of the connecting rod body 41 in the width direction W of the connecting rod body 41. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the recess 45 is formed as a trapezoidal recess from the upper surface 51 of the connecting rod body 41. When the case body 13 is in the inner position P1, a pair of first protrusions 21 of the case body 13 are inserted into and held in the recess 45 (see FIG. 15). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 13, the recess 45 has a bottom portion 45A provided at a position recessed most deeply from the upper surface 51 of the connecting rod body 41, a first slope portion 45B provided on the front side F of the bottom portion 45A, and a second slope portion 45C provided on the rear side R of the bottom portion 45A. The first slope portion 45B is inclined so that its installation height increases toward the front side F. The second slope portion 45C is inclined so that its installation height increases toward the rear side R. The first slope portion 45B and the second slope portion 45C are provided on the upper surface 51 of the connecting rod body 41 in the vicinity of the insertion portion .

[0034] Each of the plurality of grooves 43 extends elongatedly in the width direction W. The plurality of grooves 43 are provided at regular intervals. The plurality of grooves 43 are also provided on both sides of the recess 45 in the front-rear direction FR.

[0035] Similarly, each of the second grooves 44 extends elongatedly in the width direction W. The second grooves 44 are provided at regular intervals. The second grooves 44 are also provided on both sides of the recess 45 in the front-rear direction FR.

[0036] Next, the operation of the storage case 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0037] Case body 13 inserted into frame body 12 can be pulled out forward by hooking a finger on finger hook portion 16 of front panel 15. This allows case body 13 to move from an inner position P1 located inside frame body 12 to a pulled-out position P2 pulled out forward. At this time, first side portion 21B of first convex portion 21 slides up first slope portion 45B of recessed portion 45, allowing case body 13 to move smoothly from inner position P1 to pulled-out position P2. Furthermore, a certain resistance force is generated when the user pulls out case body 13, allowing the user to feel a certain sense of operation.

[0038] When the case body 13 moves to the frontmost position F, the front wall portion 22A of the second protrusion 22 abuts against the side surface 53 on the rear side R of the first connecting rod 26. This stops the case body 13 at its limit position on the front side F. This lets the user know that the case body 13 cannot be pulled out any further forward F.

[0039] On the other hand, when the user wishes to return the case body 13 from the pulled-out position P2 to the inner position P1, all that is required is for the user to push the front panel 15 toward the rear side R. When the case body 13 moves toward the rear side R, the second side 21C of the first protrusion 21 rides up onto the upper surface 51 of the connecting rod body 41 of the first connecting rod 26. Then, as the case body 13 moves further toward the rear side R, the first protrusion 21 drops into the recess 45. When the first protrusion 21 rides up onto the upper surface 51 of the connecting rod body 41 and then drops into the recess 45 in this manner, the user can feel a click. This allows the user to recognize that the case body 13 has been correctly stored in the inner position P1.

[0040] 1 to 6, a method for assembling the storage case 11 of this embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 6, the insertion portion 42 of the first connecting rod 26 and the insertion portion 42 of the second connecting rod 27 are inserted into the bottom wall portion 24 (hollow portion 24A) to connect the bottom wall portions 24 together. At this time, the claw portions 42A of the insertion portion 42 fit into the through-holes of the bottom wall portion 24, so that the insertion portion 42 does not easily come out of the bottom wall portion 24.

[0041] As a result, a pair of opposing vertical wall portions 23 (and a pair of bottom wall portions 24) are connected via the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 27. A pair of rear walls 25 can be attached between the pair of vertical wall portions 23 connected in this manner, as shown in FIG. 3 . The rear wall 25 can be fixed to the second connecting rod 27 by inserting the lower second insertion piece 25C into the groove 43 of the second connecting rod 27. This allows the rear wall 25 to be supported in an upright position by the second connecting rod 27. The rear wall 25 is also fixed to the vertical wall portion 23 by inserting the ear 25D provided at the upper corner into the slit 23A provided at the rear upper end of the vertical wall portion 23. The rear wall 25 is also fixed to the upper second connecting rod 27 by inserting the upper first insertion piece 25B into the second groove 44 of the second connecting rod 27 of the frame body 12 above it. The frame body 12 is assembled in this manner. As shown in Fig. 3, the case body 13 is attached to the frame body 12 by inserting the case body 13 into the frame body 12. At this time, the second protrusion 22 of the case body 13 can smoothly climb over the first connecting rod 26 because the rear wall portion 22B is inclined so that it approaches the bottom plate surface 13A of the main body 14 as it moves toward the rear side R. In addition, the second slope portion 45C also allows the second protrusion 22 to smoothly climb over the recess 45 and move toward the rear side R.

[0042] Before mounting the case body 13 on the frame 12, the case body 13 is pre-assembled by attaching the front panel 15 to the front surface of the body portion 14 as shown in FIG.

[0043] 4, a plurality of legs 54 can be attached to the plurality of holes 33 in the bottom wall 24 of the lowest frame 12. Attaching the plurality of legs 54 to the bottom wall 24 is optional, and it is of course possible to omit the plurality of legs 54.

[0044] By placing another frame body 12 on top of the frame body 12 assembled in this way, a multi-tiered storage case 11 can be constructed (the example in FIG. 1 shows a three-tiered storage case 11). A case main body 13 can be attached to each of the multi-tiered frame bodies 12.

[0045] On the other hand, the storage case 11 can be disassembled by reversing the procedure described above. When the storage case 11 is shipped as a product from a manufacturing factory or warehouse (logistics center), it can be stored in a compact packaging container 55 (cardboard box) and transported, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. Specifically, even a five-tiered storage case 11 can be transported in 160 size. The 160 size refers to a packaging container 55 whose total length, width, and height (thickness) is within 160 cm.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 17, one pair of vertical wall portions 23 and bottom wall portions 24 can be stored between each of the stacked case bodies 13. One pair of vertical wall portions 23 and bottom wall portion 24, a rear wall 25, a first connecting rod 26, and a second connecting rod 27 can be stored inside the uppermost case body 13 (main body portion 14). The first connecting rod 26, the second connecting rod 27, and the front panel 15 can be stored in the space above the case bodies 13 in the packaging container 55. Furthermore, the top panel portion 28 can also be stored in the gap at the top of the packaging container 55.

[0047] According to this embodiment, the following can be said: The storage case 11 includes a frame body 12 and a case main body 13 that is movable between an inner position P1 located inside the frame body 12 and a drawn-out position P2 drawn out forward F from the inner position P1, and the frame body 12 has a pair of vertical walls 23 that are provided on both sides of the case main body 13 at the inner position P1 and extend vertically, a pair of bottom walls 24 that extend from the lower ends of the vertical walls 23 to the lower side of the case main body 13 at the inner position P1, and a rod-shaped first connecting rod 26 that connects the pair of bottom walls 24 together and is attachable to and detachable from the pair of bottom walls 24.

[0048] According to this configuration, because the first connecting rod 26 is detachable from the bottom wall 24, during transportation, the first connecting rod 26 can be removed from the bottom wall 24 and carried in a compact packaging container 55. Furthermore, during use, the bottom wall 24 can guide the movement of the case body 13 between the inner position P1 and the drawn-out position P2. As a result, even when this structure is employed, the movement of the case body 13 between the inner position P1 and the drawn-out position P2 is not impeded, and the case body 13 can be moved smoothly.

[0049] In this case, the bottom wall portion 24 is pipe-shaped and includes a hollow portion 24A inside, and the first connecting rod 26 includes a pair of insertion portions 42 provided at both ends, each of which can be inserted into or separated from the hollow portion 24A.

[0050] According to this configuration, the pipe-shaped bottom wall 24 increases the rigidity, thereby making the storage case 11 as a whole highly rigid. Also, the frame 12 can be assembled simply by inserting and removing the insertion portion 42 into the hollow portion 24A of the bottom wall 24. This simplifies the work required by the user during assembly and disassembly.

[0051] In this case, the case body 13 has a first convex portion 21 protruding downward from its bottom plate surface 13A, and the first connecting rod 26 has a recess 45 on its upper surface into which the first convex portion 21 can fall when the case body 13 is in the inner position P1.

[0052] According to this configuration, when the case body 13 is retracted from the drawn-out position P2 to the inside position P1, a clicking sensation can be generated by utilizing the first convex portion 21 dropping into the concave portion 45. This allows the user to recognize that the case body 13 has been correctly placed in the inside position P1.

[0053] In this case, the case body 13 has a second protrusion 22 that is provided rearward of the first protrusion 21 and protrudes downward from its bottom plate surface 13A, and the first connecting rod 26 includes a side surface 53 adjacent to the upper surface 51 that can abut against the second protrusion 22 when the case body 13 moves to the drawn-out position P2.

[0054] This configuration makes it possible to inform the user that the case body 13 cannot be moved forward F beyond the drawn-out position P2.

[0055] In this case, the storage case 11 comprises a rod-shaped second connecting rod 27 that connects a pair of bottom wall portions 24 together and is detachable from the pair of bottom wall portions 24, the second connecting rod 27 being located rearward of the first connecting rod 26, and a rear wall 25 that covers the rear side R of the case main body 13 at the inner position P1, and the second connecting rod 27 has a groove portion 43 that can be inserted into the rear wall 25 to support it in an upright state.

[0056] According to this configuration, there is no need to provide a separate part for supporting the rear wall 25, and the number of parts can be reduced, thereby realizing a low-cost storage case 11.

[0057] In this case, the second connecting rod 27 has the same shape as the first connecting rod 26 .

[0058] According to this configuration, the second connecting rod 27 can be made into a common part with the first connecting rod 26. This reduces the number of molds required and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0059] In this case, the recess 45 includes a bottom portion 45A and a slope portion that is provided on the front side F of the bottom portion 45A and whose installation height increases toward the front side F.

[0060] According to this configuration, when the case body 13 moves from the inside position P1 to the pulled-out position P2, the first protrusion 21 can be easily released from the recess 45. This allows the user to move the case body 13 with less force when moving the case body 13 from the inside position P1 to the pulled-out position P2.

[0061] In the following embodiment, differences from the above embodiment will be mainly described, and illustrations or descriptions of parts common to the above embodiment will be omitted. [Second embodiment]

[0062] As shown in FIGS. 19 to 22, the case body 13 includes a main body 14 in the shape of a mass (a box with an open top), a front panel 15 detachably attached to the front surface of the main body 14, a pair of protruding portions 61 protruding outward in the width direction W from the upper end of the main body 14, and a protruding portion 62 protruding downward from one point on the protruding portion 61. The main body 14, the protruding portions 61, and the protruding portion 62 are integrally molded from, for example, a synthetic resin material. The front panel 15 is configured in a substantially flat plate shape and functions as a decorative panel covering the front surface of the case body 13. The front panel 15 has a finger hook 16 at its lower end for a user to hook their fingers on.

[0063] As shown in Figures 21 and 22, the protrusion 61 is formed integrally with the main body 14 so as to bend in an inverted "U" shape from the upper end of the main body 14 and protrude outward in the width direction W. The protruding portion 62 is provided so as to protrude downward from the front portion of the overhanging portion 61 in a trapezoidal shape.

[0064] 19 and 20 , each of the pair of vertical wall portions 23 has a rail portion 63 that extends substantially horizontally and on which the overhanging portion 61 can be placed, and a recessed portion 64 that is provided in one location on the rail portion 63 and can accommodate the protrusion 62. The rail portion 63 protrudes inward in the width direction W. The rail portion 63 has a plate shape that is elongated in the front-rear direction FR.

[0065] The recessed portion 64 is recessed from the front portion of the rail portion 63 in a shape complementary to the protruding portion 62, that is, in a trapezoidal shape facing downward.

[0066] Next, the operation of the storage case 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0067] When moving the case body 13 from the drawn-out position P2 to the inside position P1, the user pushes the front panel 15 toward the rear side R. When the case body 13 moves to the rear side R, the protrusion 62 drops into the recess 61. When the protrusion 62 drops into the recess 61 in this way, the user can feel a click. This enables the user to recognize that the case body 13 has been correctly stored in the inside position P1.

[0068] Similarly, when the user moves from the inner position P1 to the drawn-out position P2, the front panel 15 can be drawn out to the front side F by applying a large force that allows the protrusion 62 to escape from the recess 61.

[0069] According to this embodiment, the following can be said: The case body 13 has a main body 14 in the shape of a box with an open top, a protruding portion 61 that protrudes outward from the upper end of the main body 14 in the width direction W, and a protruding portion 62 that protrudes downward from one point on the protruding portion 61, and each of the pair of vertical wall portions 23 has a rail portion 63 that extends in a substantially horizontal direction and on which the protruding portion 61 can be placed, and a recessed portion 64 that is provided in one point on the rail portion 63 and can store the protruding portion 62.

[0070] With this configuration, the engagement between the protrusion and the recess provides a clicking sensation to the user, allowing the user to know that the case body is correctly positioned in the drawn-out position P2.

[0071] The above-described embodiment can be implemented with various further substitutions and modifications, and it goes without saying that the above-described different embodiments can be appropriately combined to form a single invention. [Explanation of symbols]
