[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3056903 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, the above-mentioned conventional organizer case does not allow the layout inside the organizer case to be changed.
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an organizer case that allows the layout inside the organizer case to be easily changed. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present invention provides an organizer case having a partition wall, and further includes a partition member that can be placed within the organizer case, the partition member having a partition plate that divides the interior of the organizer case and a hook portion that can be hooked onto at least one of the partition wall or the partition plate of another partition member different from the partition member. The organizer case of the present invention makes it possible to easily change the layout within the organizer case.
[0007] In the organizer case according to the present invention, it is preferable that the partition member has a second partition plate different from the first partition plate, and the hook portion is provided on the second partition plate. In this case, the partition member can be stably positioned within the organizer case.
[0008] In the organizer case according to the present invention, at least one of the outer and inner surfaces of the partition member is preferably an inclined surface in which one of the outer and inner surfaces approaches the other as it approaches the side edge of the partition member, and further, a rib is provided at the bottom end of the inclined surface to compensate for the decrease in the inclined surface, thereby allowing the partition member to be positioned more stably within the organizer case.
[0009] In the organizing case according to the present invention, it is preferable that the upper ends of the partition members form the same surface when the partition members are attached to the partition wall, thereby forming a visually unified partition in the organizing space of the case body.
[0010] In the organizer case of the present invention, the organizer case further has a handle that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall, and when the partition member is attached to the partition wall and the handle is pushed into the partition wall, the upper ends of the handle and the upper ends of the partition member form the same plane. In this case, when the handle is pushed in, a visually unified partition can be formed in the organization space of the case body.
[0011] The present invention provides an organizer case having a partition wall, the organizer case having legs that can be stored in the partition wall and further having a handle that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall, the partition wall and the legs having a handle stopper that restricts the handle from being pulled out and a handle positioning part that positions the handle in a predetermined pulled position. The organizer case of the present invention is portable and can be made compact when not in use.
[0012] In the organizer case of the present invention, the handle retention portion is composed of a partition-side protrusion provided on the inside of the partition wall and a handle-side protrusion provided on the leg that can come into contact with the partition-side protrusion when the handle is pulled out, the handle positioning portion is composed of a partition-side fitting portion provided on the inside of the partition wall and a handle-side fitting portion provided on the leg that can fit into the partition-side fitting portion when the handle is pulled out, and further, it is preferable that the handle-side fitting portion is provided on an elastic piece formed by a notch formed in the leg, and the handle-side protrusion is positioned so that the notch provides an allowance for displacement of the handle-side protrusion. In this case, the operations required to position and release the positioning of the handle are simplified and the handle can be easily attached to the partition wall.
[0013] In the organizer case of the present invention, it is preferable that the handle-side protrusion is provided on the side of the leg, and the handle-side fitting part is provided on the front or rear of the leg. In this case, the thickness of the handle can be reduced, and the handle can be provided with a handle stopper and a handle positioning part.
[0014] In the organizer case of the present invention, the legs have handle-side front and rear inclined surfaces that approach each other as they extend upward, and the inside of the partition wall has partition-side front and rear inclined surfaces that slope downward so that they move away from each other, and when the handle is pulled out to a position where it is restricted from being pulled out, the handle-side front inclined surface and the handle-side rear inclined surface preferably fit together. In this case, it is possible to suppress back-and-forth shaking that may occur when the handle is pulled out.
[0015] The organizer case according to the present invention has a partition wall, and the organizer case has legs that can be stored in the partition wall and further has a handle that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall, and the bottom wall of one organizer case can be placed on the upper end of the peripheral wall of the other organizer case. The organizer case according to the present invention is portable and can be made compact when not in use, and further, multiple organizer cases can be stored compactly. [Effects of the Invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] Hereinafter, a description will be given of an organizing case 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
[0019] Fig. 1 is a front view showing the front of organizing case 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the right side of organizing case 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing organizing case 1 from above. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing organizing case 1 from above.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 3 , the organization case 1 is an organization case having a partition wall 5. In this embodiment, the organization case 1 has a case main body 2. The case main body 2 has a peripheral wall 3 and a bottom wall 4 that form an organization space S, and a partition wall 5 that separates the organization space S. The organization case 1 also has a partition member 6 that can be placed within the organization case 1. In this embodiment, the partition member 6 is a partition member that can be placed in the organization space S. The partition member 6 has a partition plate 61 that separates the organization case 1, and a hook portion 62 that can be hooked onto at least one of the partition wall 5 or the partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from the partition member 6. In this embodiment, the partition plate 61 is a partition plate that separates the organization space S. The hook portion 62 is a hook portion that can be hooked onto at least one of the upper end of the partition wall 5 or the upper end of the partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from the partition member 6.
[0021] 5 shows the case body 2 together with the handle 7. In this embodiment, the case body 2 is made of resin. In this embodiment, the case body 2 is an injection-molded product in which the resin is integrally molded inside a mold. Examples of the resin include polypropylene.
[0022] An opening is formed inside the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3. The outer shape of the opening is defined by the inner edge of the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3. In this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 includes four side walls: a front wall 3a, a rear wall 3b, a right side wall 3c, and a left side wall 3d. The front wall 3a is a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the front shape of the case body 2 is a rectangle whose width in the left-right direction is longer than its width in the up-down direction, as shown in FIG. 1. Referring next to FIG. 1, the rear wall 3b is also a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the rear shape of the case body 2 has the same shape as the front shape of the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 1. Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the right side wall 3c is also a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the right side shape of the case body 2 is a rectangle whose width in the front-to-back direction is longer than its width in the up-down direction, as shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the right side surface of the case body 2 has a shape in which the width in the front-to-rear direction of the right side surface increases toward the top. Next, in this embodiment, the left side wall 3d is also a flat panel (plate). In this embodiment, the left side surface of the case body 2 also has the same shape as the right side surface of the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 2 . Therefore, the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment has a symmetrical shape in both the front-to-rear direction and the left-to-right direction. In this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2 is formed by multiple plates. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 is formed by the edge of the plate and faces upward. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 is configured as an upper end that does not constitute a flange. Therefore, in this embodiment, the peripheral wall 3 is, for example, a thin plate with a rectangular cylindrical shape, as shown in FIG. 5 . However, according to the present invention, the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 may also constitute a flange.
[0023] As shown in FIG. 5 , the bottom wall 4 closes the lower opening of the peripheral wall 3. Referring to FIG. 4 , in this embodiment, the bottom wall 4 is a rectangular panel (plate) whose width in the left-right direction is greater than its width in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the area of the bottom wall 4 is greater than the area of the opening A3 (see FIG. 5 ) formed on the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 3. This allows, for example, the bottom wall 4 of one of the two case bodies 2 to be placed on the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 of the other case body 2. Referring to FIG. 4 , in this embodiment, the bottom wall 4 has a protrusion 4a that extends annularly along the contour of the bottom wall 4 in a bottom view (plan view). The protrusion 4a is positioned inside the opening A3 of the peripheral wall 3 when one case body 2 is placed on the other case body 2. This allows the case bodies 2 to be stacked without being misaligned when the bottom wall 4 of one case body 2 is placed on the upper end 3e of the peripheral wall 3 of the other case body 2.
[0024] In this embodiment, the organization space S is formed by the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3 and the inner surface of the bottom wall 4, as shown in Figure 5. Referring to Figure 5, in this embodiment, the partition wall 5 further divides the organization space S into multiple organization spaces (S1, S2). The lower sides of the organization spaces (S1, S2) are closed by the bottom wall 4, and the opening A3 connects the upper sides of the organization spaces (S1, S2) to the outside. In other words, the opening A3 functions as an opening for putting in and taking out items, and the bottom wall 4 functions as a bottom wall that supports the items.
[0025] The partition wall 5 is continuous with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3 and with the inner surface of the bottom wall 4. In this embodiment, the partition wall 5 is a front-rear partition wall that divides the organization space S in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the partition wall 5 extends in the left-right direction. As a result, the partition wall 5 divides the organization space S into a front storage space S1 and a rear storage space S2. In this embodiment, the organization space S can accommodate, for example, a 30 cm ruler in the left-right direction. As a result, a 30 cm ruler can be organized and stored in either the front storage space S1 or the rear storage space S2 without the partition member 6 being placed. In this embodiment, the partition wall 5 is located in the center of the organization space S in the front-rear direction, as shown in FIG. 3. Also, referring to FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the partition wall 5 has a handle support portion 51 on which the handle 7 is disposed. The handle support portion 51 supports the handle 7 so that it can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5, as described below. The handle support portion 51 is continuous with the bottom wall 4. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the partition wall 5 has two partition plate portions 52. Each of the two partition plate portions 52 is continuous with the handle support portion 51 and the bottom wall 4. The partition plate portion 52 is a flat panel (plate). The partition plate portion 52 is disposed between the handle support portion 51 and the right side wall 3c (or the left side wall 3d), and is continuous with both the handle support portion 51 and the right side wall 3c (or the left side wall 3d).
[0026] FIG. 6 shows a storage case 1 in which one partition member 6 is disposed in the case body 2. The partition member 6 is configured as a separate member from the case body 2. In this embodiment, the partition member 6 is an injection-molded product formed integrally with the resin within a mold. Examples of the resin include polypropylene. The partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking a hook portion 62 onto the upper end of a partition wall 5 provided on the case body 2. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 onto the upper end 52e of one partition plate portion 52 from the front side of the partition wall 5. Referring to FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the partition plate 61 of the partition plate portion 52 contacts the peripheral wall 3 and bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 when the partition member 6 is disposed in the storage space S. This allows the partition member 6 to be stably disposed within the organization space S of the case body 2.
[0027] 7, in this embodiment, the hook portion 62 has a hook shape. Specifically, the hook portion 62 has a base portion 62a that can be placed on the upper end of the partition plate portion 52 when the partition member 6 is attached to the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5, and a tip portion 62b that is continuous with the base portion 62a and extends downward from the base portion 62a. In this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is a plate-shaped hook portion. Specifically, in this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is a plate-shaped hook portion that is formed so that the tip portion 62b is bent relative to the base portion 62a.
[0028] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the partition member 6 alone from above. The partition member 6 has, in addition to a partition plate 61, a second partition plate 63 that is different from the partition plate 61. In this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is provided on the second partition plate 63. Specifically, the second partition plate 63 extends downward from a base portion 62a of the hook portion 62. In this embodiment, the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is formed by the lower end 61eL of the first partition plate 61 and the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63. In this embodiment, the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63 coincides with the lower end 61eL of the first partition plate 61, forming the same flat surface. That is, in this embodiment, the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is formed by a flat surface.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 7 , the hook portion 62 hooks onto the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 so that the partition plate portion 52 is sandwiched between the hook portion 62 and the second partition plate 63. This allows the partition member 6 to be stably arranged within the organizing case 1. Specifically, the partition member 6 can be more stably arranged within the organizing space S of the case body 2. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7 , when the partition member 6 is arranged in the organizing space S, the second partition plate 63 of the partition member 6 comes into contact with the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 together with the partition plate 61 of the partition member 6 (hereinafter also referred to as the "first partition plate 61"). This allows the partition member 6 to be more stably arranged within the organizing space S of the case body 2.
[0030] Referring to Figure 3, this embodiment is shown. In the partition member 6, the second partition plate 63 is connected to the first partition plate 61 so as to form an L-shape in a plan view. The L-shape is designed for ease of use. For example, if the second partition plate 63 is connected to the first partition plate 61 so as to form a T-shape in a plan view, the second partition plate 63 will extend in two directions from the first partition plate 61 as a base point. In this case, for example, when the partition member 6 is moved to an end of the organization space S of the case body 2 (a position adjacent to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 3), a dead space may be formed between one side of the second partition plate 63 and the end of the organization space S. In contrast, when the partition member 6 is L-shaped as in this embodiment, the second partition plate 63 extends in only one direction from the first partition plate 61 as a base point. Therefore, even when the partition member 6 is positioned near the edge of the organization space S of the case body 2, the formation of the above-mentioned dead space can be minimized. Therefore, when the partition member 6 is L-shaped as in this embodiment, the organization space S of the case body 2 can be efficiently divided. However, according to the present invention, the partition member 6 can also be T-shaped. Also, in this embodiment, the second partition plate 63 is connected at a right angle to the first partition plate 61 in a plan view, for example, as shown in FIG. 3. However, according to the present invention, the second partition plate 63 can also be connected so as to be inclined relative to the first partition plate 61 in a plan view, for example, as shown in FIG. 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface of the partition member 6 may be formed as an inclined surface such that one of the outer surface and the inner surface approaches the other of the outer surface and the inner surface toward the side edge of the partition member 6. In this case, it is preferable to provide a rib 64 at the lower end of at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface that forms the inclined surface, to compensate for the decrease that occurs due to the inclination of at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface.
[0032] When molding the partition member 6, at least one of the outer and inner surfaces of the partition member 6 may be tapered (inclined) to facilitate removal from the mold. In this case, the thickness of the partition member 6 is reduced due to the inclination of the tapered surface. Therefore, in the present invention, a rib 64 is provided at the lower end of at least one of the outer and inner surfaces, which form the inclined surface, to compensate for the reduction in thickness associated with the inclination of at least one of the outer and inner surfaces, so that the thickness of the partition member 6 is uniform. In this case, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organizing case 1. Specifically, the partition member 6 is supported by a larger area of the lower end of the partition member 6 against the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. Therefore, in this case, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organizing space S of the case body 2.
[0033] Here, Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the partition member 6 of Fig. 8 from above, with the partition member 6 turned over and upside down. Referring to Fig. 9, in this embodiment, the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 is an inclined surface that slopes toward the inner surface F63b (see Fig. 8) of the second partition plate 63 as it approaches the side edge 63es of the second partition plate 63. That is, in this embodiment, the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 is an inclined surface that takes into consideration removal from the molding die. Here, the side edge 63es of the second partition plate 63 is the side edge of the second partition plate 63 located opposite the connection portion (corner portion of the partition member 6) between the first partition plate 61 and the second partition plate 63. In addition, in this embodiment, the rib 64 is a protruding portion that protrudes from the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63. 9, in this embodiment, the rib 64 protrudes from the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 and extends in the short direction of the second partition plate 63 along the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63. As a result, the rib 64 constitutes a part of the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63 and forms a flat surface together with the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63.
[0034] In this embodiment, when molding the partition member 6, the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63 is tapered (inclined) to facilitate removal from the mold. In this case, the thickness of the second partition plate 63 is reduced due to the inclination of the tapered surface. Therefore, in this embodiment, a rib 64 is provided at the lower end of the outer surface F63a to compensate for the thickness reduction caused by the inclination of the outer surface F63a so that the thickness of the second partition plate 63 is uniform. In this case, the partition member 6 is supported by the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63, which has a larger area, against the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. Therefore, in this case, the partition member 6 can be more stably positioned within the organization space S of the case body 2.
[0035] 10 is a side view of the first partition plate 61 of the partition member 6 of FIG. 8, viewed from the inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61. FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of region R1 of FIG. 10. FIG. 11 shows a rib 64 provided on the outer surface F63a of the second partition plate 63. Referring to FIG. 11, it can be seen that the rib 64 constitutes a part of the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63 and forms a flat surface together with the lower end 63eL of the second partition plate 63. According to the present invention, when the inner surface F63b of the second partition plate 63 is an inclined surface, the rib 64 can be provided on the inner surface F63b of the second partition plate 63. Furthermore, according to the present invention, when at least one of the outer surface F61a and the inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61 is an inclined surface, it can be provided on at least one of the outer surface F61a and the inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61 that becomes the inclined surface.
[0036] FIG. 12 is a side view of the first partition plate 61 of the partition member of FIG. 9, viewed from the outer surface F61a of the first partition plate 61. FIG. 13 is a side view showing region R2 of FIG. 12. In this embodiment, the hook portion 62 protrudes upward (downward on the paper) from the first partition plate 61. Specifically, referring to FIG. 13, the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 protrudes upward (downward on the paper) from the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 by Δh. In addition, in this embodiment, when the lower end of the base 62a of the hook portion 62 is defined as the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62, the height (position level) of the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is equal to the height (position level) of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61, as shown in FIG. Specifically, when the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is used as a reference, the height (position level) from the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 to the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is the same as the height (position level) from the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 to the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61. As a result, when the partition member 6 is hooked onto the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 or another partition member 6, the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 is at the same height (position level) as the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 or the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6. Note that, as shown in FIG. 13 , in this embodiment, the hook portion 62 is provided with ribs 64 on both the outer surface and the inner surface of the protruding portion of the hook portion 62.
[0037] 14 shows another example of a sorting case in which one partition member 6 is arranged in the case body 2. According to this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 14, the partition member 6 can be attached to the other of the two partition plate portions 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 in place of one of them. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 14, the partition member 6 is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 onto the upper end 52eU of the other partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 from the rear side of the other partition plate portion 52.
[0038] Next, Figure 15 shows another example of an organizing case 1 in which one more partition member 6 is added to the organizing case 1 of Figure 14. In the following description, the additional partition member 6 (6B) refers to the one additional partition member 6. The other partition member 6 (6A) refers to the partition member 6 of Figure 14. In this embodiment, the additional partition member 6 (6B) has the same shape as the other partition member 6 (6A).
[0039] 15, the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the case body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 onto the upper end of the other partition member 6 (6A). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the other partition member 6 (6A) by hooking the hook portion 62 of the additional partition member 6 (6B) onto the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 from the side of the outer surface F61a of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6 (6A). In this embodiment, the height of the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 is the same as the height of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the partition member 6, as described above. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the other partition member 6 (6A), the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the additional partition member 6 (6B) and the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6 (6A) are at the same height. Also, in this embodiment, since the additional partition member 6 (6A) is the same member as the other partition member 6 (6B), when the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the other partition member 6 (6A), the lower end 6eL of the additional partition member 6 (6B) also comes into contact with the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2, similar to the lower end 6eL of the other partition member 6 (6A). As a result, as shown in Figure 16, even when two partition members 6 are combined as a set of partition members and placed in the organization space S of the case body 2, the two partition members 6 can be placed stably.
[0040] FIG. 17 shows another example of an organizing case in which one partition member 6 is arranged in the case main body 2. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the partition member 6 is attached to the case main body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 onto the upper end 52eU of the other of the two partition plate portions 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case main body 2 from the front side of the other partition plate portion 52. Next, FIG. 18 shows another example of an organizing case 1 in which one more partition member 6 is added to the organizing case 1 of FIG. 17. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the additional partition member 6 (6B) is attached to the case main body 2 by hooking the hook portion 62 of the additional partition member 6 (6B) onto the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61 from the side of the inner surface F61b of the first partition plate 61 of the other partition member 6 (6A).
[0041] Next, Fig. 3 shows an example of an organizing case 1 in which the organizing space S of the case body 2 is divided using eight partition members 6. Fig. 20 is a perspective view showing the front side of the organizing case 1 of Fig. 3 from above.
[0042] Referring to FIG. 20 , in this embodiment, when multiple partition members 6 are attached to the partition wall 5, the upper ends of the multiple partition members 6 form the same plane. Specifically, when multiple partition members 6 are attached to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper ends of the multiple partition members 6 form the same plane. In this case, as shown in FIG. 20 , a visually unified partition can be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2. In particular, in this embodiment, the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 forms a flat surface. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20 , a visually more unified partition can be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2.
[0043] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20 , in this embodiment, when four partition members 6 are attached adjacent to one partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper ends 62eU of the hook portions 62 of the four partition members 6 form the same plane. This allows a visually unified partition to be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2 on one side of the partition wall 5, with the handle 7 in between. Also, as shown in FIG. 20 , in this embodiment, when two partition members 6 are attached adjacent to one partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper ends 62eU of the hook portions 62 of the two partition members 6 form the same plane. This allows a visually unified partition to be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2 on the other side of the partition wall 5, with the handle 7 in between. In particular, in this embodiment, the upper ends 62eU of the hook portions 62 of the partition members 6 on both sides of the partition wall 5 that sandwich the handle 7 form the same surface. As a result, according to this embodiment, partitions that have a more visually unified appearance can be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2. As described in FIG. 13 , in this embodiment, the height (position level) of the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is equal to the height (position level) of the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 is used as a reference, the height (position level) from the lower end 6eL of the partition member 6 to the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62 is equal to the height (position level) from the inner surface of the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 to the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 is equal to the height (position level) from the inner surface of the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 to the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 when the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 is used as a reference. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in each partition member 6, the upper end 61eU of the first partition plate 61, the inner upper end 62e1 of the hook portion 62, and the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 are all at the same height (position level).
[0044] 20 and 21, in this embodiment, the organizing case 1 further has a handle 7 that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5. Specifically, the case body 2 further has a handle 7 that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5. Referring to FIG. 21, in this embodiment, when the partition member 6 is attached to the partition wall 5 and the handle 7 is pushed into the partition wall 5, the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the upper end of the partition member 6 (specifically, the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62) form the same plane. In this case, as shown in FIG. 21, when the handle 7 is pushed in, a visually unified partition can be formed in the organizing space S of the case body 2.
[0045] FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the front side of the organization case 1 from above with the handle 7 pushed into the organization case 1 of FIG. 3. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the handle 7 can be pushed into the partition wall 5 so that the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 form the same plane. This allows for a visually unified partition to be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2 when the handle 7 is pushed in, as shown in FIG. 21. In particular, in this embodiment, the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 both form flat surfaces. This allows for a visually more unified partition to be formed in the organization space S of the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 and the width of the upper end 62eU of the hook portion 62 of the partition member 6 are the same width dimension W (e.g., W = 8 mm). This allows the formation of partitions in the organization space S of the case body 2 that have a more visually unified appearance, as shown in FIG.
[0046] As described above, referring to, for example, Figures 5-6, 14-15, 17-18, and 20, organizing case 1 further includes partition member 6 as a component separate from case body 2, and partition member 6 includes partition plate 61 that divides the interior of organizing case 1 and hook portion 62 that can be hooked onto at least one of partition plate portion 52 of partition wall 5 of case body 2 or partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from partition member 6. According to organizing case 1, by hooking partition member 6, the interior of organizing case 1 can be divided into desired organizing spaces. Furthermore, because partition member 6 is configured to be hooked onto partition wall 5 or partition plate 61 of another partition member 6 different from partition member 6, the interior of organizing case 1 can also be divided into desired organizing spaces by removing partition member 6. That is, with the organizing case 1, the layout of the organizing space S formed in the case body 2 can be freely changed by selectively attaching or removing at least one or more partition members 6. Moreover, the partition members 6 can be attached and removed simply by hooking the partition members 6. Therefore, with the organizing case 1, the layout of the organizing space S can be easily changed.
[0047] However, the above-mentioned conventional organizer case (see Patent Document 1) could not be made compact when not being carried. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide an organizer case that is portable and can be made compact when not being carried.
[0048] Fig. 22 is a cross-sectional view of the organizing case 1 of Fig. 3 taken along the line BB. Fig. 23 is an enlarged view of region R3 of Fig. 22. Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view of the organizing case 1 of Fig. 3 taken along the line CC. Fig. 25 is an enlarged view of region R4 of Fig. 24.
[0049] The organizing case 1 has legs 71 that can be housed in the partition wall 5, and also has a handle 71 that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5. Specifically, the organizing case 1 has legs 71 that can be housed in the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, and also has a handle 7 that can be pulled out and pushed into the partition wall 5. As shown in FIG. 22, the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 and the leg 71 of the handle 7 have a handle stopper 8 that restricts the pull-out of the handle 7. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24, the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 and the leg 71 of the handle 7 have a handle positioning part 9 that positions the handle 7 at a predetermined pull-out position.
[0050] According to the organizer case 1, when carrying the organizer case 1, the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 20 . At this time, the handle pull-out distance is limited to a preset amount by the handle stopper 8. Furthermore, once the handle 7 has been pulled out the preset amount, the handle positioning portion 9 positions the handle 7 at the preset pull-out distance. This allows the organizer case 1 to be carried by using the handle 7. Furthermore, according to the organizer case 1, when the organizer case 1 is not being carried, the handle 7 is pushed into the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. At this time, the handle positioning portion 9 releases the positioning of the handle 7 relative to the partition wall 5. As a result, when the organizer case 1 is not being carried, the handle 7 can be pushed into the partition wall 5 to store the organizer case 1, thereby making the organizer case 1 compact. Therefore, the organizer case 1 is portable and can be made compact when not being carried.
[0051] Referring to Figure 22, in this embodiment, the handle slip-out prevention portion 8 is composed of a partition wall side protrusion 85 provided on the inside of the partition wall 5 of the case main body 2, and a handle side protrusion 87 provided on the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 and capable of engaging with the partition wall side protrusion 85 when the handle 7 is pulled out.
[0052] FIG. 26 is a front view showing the handle 7 of the organizer case 1. In this embodiment, the handle 7 is made of resin. In this embodiment, the handle 7 is an injection-molded product in which the resin is integrally molded inside a mold. An example of the resin is polypropylene. Referring to FIG. 26, the handle 7 has two legs 71 and a grip 72 connecting the upper ends of the two legs 71. In this embodiment, the legs 71 and the grip 72 are configured in a straight line. Also, in this embodiment, the two legs 71 are arranged parallel to each other. Also, in this embodiment, the grip 72 is connected at a right angle to the legs 71; however, according to the present invention, the grip 72 can also be configured in a curved line.
[0053] In this embodiment, the handle 7 has a U-shaped flat plate member 75. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 26, the plate member 75 is provided with two reinforcing flanges 76. The two reinforcing flanges 76 are connected to the inner edge and outer edge of the plate member 75, respectively, and extend in the extension direction of the plate member 75. The two reinforcing flanges 76 also protrude from the front and rear surfaces of the plate member 75, respectively. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the handle 7 when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 7 is H-shaped.
[0054] 5, the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is housed in the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 by being inserted into an opening A5 formed in the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. The opening A5 is formed in the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5. In this embodiment, the handle support portion 51 is formed with a recess C51 into which a finger can be inserted when the handle 7 is pushed in.
[0055] Referring to FIG. 22, in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side protrusion 85 is provided on the outer surface of the side wall 53 of the handle support part 51 that forms the recess C51. Furthermore, referring to FIG. 23, the partition-wall-side protrusion 85 has an inclined surface F85 that slopes downward so as to move away from the outer surface of the side wall 53. As a result, when the leg 71 of the handle 7 is inserted downward through the opening A5, the inclined surface F85 of the partition-wall-side protrusion 85 guides the handle-side protrusion 87 provided on the leg 71 of the handle 7. Also referring to FIG. 23, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on the side surface of the leg 71. In this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on the inner surface of the leg 71. The handle-side protrusion 87 has an inclined surface F87 that slopes downward so as to approach the inner surface of the leg 71. As a result, when the leg 71 of the handle 7 is inserted downward through the opening A5, the handle side protrusion 87 is guided by the inclined surface F87 of the handle side protrusion 87 moving along the inclined surface F85 of the partition wall side protrusion 85.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 23 , when the handle 7 is pulled out, the handle retaining portion 8 causes the contact surface 87a of the handle-side protrusion 87 to come into contact with the contact surface 85a of the partition-wall-side protrusion 85. The contact allowance ΔX between the contact surface 87a of the handle-side protrusion 87 and the contact surface 85a of the partition-wall-side protrusion 85 is set to a dimension (e.g., 1.0 mm) such that the contact surface 87a of the handle-side protrusion 87 remains hooked on the contact surface 85a of the partition-wall-side protrusion 85 and does not come off the contact surface 85a of the partition-wall-side protrusion 85 when the handle 7 is pulled out. This prevents the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 from coming off the opening A5. Therefore, the handle retaining portion 8 can prevent the handle 7 from coming off the case body 2 and becoming separated.
[0057] Also, referring to Figure 24, in this embodiment, the handle positioning portion 9 is composed of a partition wall side fitting portion 95 provided on the inside of the partition wall 5 of the case main body 2, and a handle side fitting portion 97 provided on the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 and capable of fitting with the partition wall side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pulled out.
[0058] The partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 may be provided on the front or rear surface of the handle support portion 51. Referring to FIG. 25 , in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 is provided on the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51. In this embodiment, the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 is composed of a first protrusion 95a continuing from the rear surface of the front wall 54 and a second protrusion 95b protruding rearward from the first protrusion 95a. In addition, the handle-side fitting portion 97 may be provided on the front or rear surface of the leg portion 71. Referring to FIG. 25 , in this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 is provided on the front surface of the leg portion 71. In this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 is composed of two fitting protrusions. In this embodiment, one of the two fitting protrusions is a first fitting protrusion 97a located on the lower side, and the other of the two fitting protrusions is a second fitting protrusion 97b located on the upper side. In this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a and the second fitting protrusion 97b are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a protrudes further forward than the second fitting protrusion 97b.
[0059] In this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pushed downward, the first fitting protrusion 97a can climb over the second protrusion 95b of the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. However, in this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a has a contact surface F97a that can come into contact with the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. When the handle 7 is pulled upward after climbing over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, the contact surface F97a of the first fitting protrusion 97a comes into contact with the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, preventing the first fitting protrusion 97a from climbing over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. In other words, when the handle 7 is pulled out after the first fitting protrusion 97a has climbed over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 by being pushed in, the contact surface F97a of the first fitting protrusion 97a engages with the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95.
[0060] In contrast, in this embodiment, the second fitting protrusion 97b can climb over the second protrusion 95b of the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pushed downward through the opening A5 of the partition wall 5. At the same time, the second fitting protrusion 97b can also climb over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pulled upward after climbing over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 by being pushed in.
[0061] That is, when the handle 7 attached to the case body 2 is pulled out from the partition wall 5, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 9 climbs over the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 as shown in Fig. 25, and then the first fitting protrusion 97a comes into contact with the partition wall-side fitting portion 95, thereby engaging with the partition wall-side fitting portion 95. As a result, as shown in Fig. 25, the handle positioning portion 9 fits the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 between the first fitting protrusion 97a and the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 24, when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5, the handle positioning portion 9 positions the handle 7 at a position where the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is pulled out a preset amount.
[0062] 25, in this embodiment, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 has an inclined surface F97b2 on the upper side of the second fitting protrusion 97b that slopes downward so as to move away from the front surface of the leg portion 71. This allows the first fitting protrusion 97a of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pulled upward. Therefore, in this case, the handle 7 can be easily pushed in when pulled out.
[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 has an inclined surface F97b1 on the underside of the second fitting protrusion 97b that slopes downward to approach the front surface of the leg portion 71. This allows the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when pushing the handle 7 in. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 has an inclined surface F95 on the upper side of the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 that slopes downward to move away from the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51. This allows the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when pushing the handle 7 in. This makes it easier to push the handle 7 in.
[0064] 25, in this embodiment, the first fitting protrusion 97a of the handle-side fitting portion 97 has an inclined surface F97c below the first fitting protrusion 97a that slopes downward to approach the front surface of the leg portion 71. This allows the first fitting protrusion 97a of the handle-side fitting portion 97 to relatively easily climb over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 when the handle 7 is pushed in. Also, referring to FIG. 25, in this embodiment, a guide protrusion 56 is provided on the rear wall 55 of the handle support portion 51. When the handle 7 is inserted into the opening A5 of the partition wall 5, the guide protrusion 56 is positioned between the two reinforcing flanges 76 provided on the handle 7. As a result, the handle 7 is guided in its vertical movement along the reinforcing flanges 76 by the guide protrusions 56 provided on the partition wall 5 of the case body 2.
[0065] FIG. 27 is an enlarged view of region R5 in FIG. 26. Referring to FIG. 27, in this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 is provided in an elastic piece 74 defined by a notch 73 formed in the leg portion 71 of the handle 7. The notch 73 penetrates the plate member 75. In this embodiment, the notch 73 is a U-shaped notch that protrudes downward when viewed from the front, as shown in FIG. 27. That is, the elastic piece 74 is configured as a cantilevered portion with its upper side as a base point. This allows the elastic piece 74 to elastically deform in the front-to-rear direction with its upper side as a base point. Therefore, when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5, the partition-side fitting portion 95 of the handle positioning portion 9 engages with the handle-side fitting portion 97 with a clicking sensation, and the partition-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 can be easily engaged and disengaged.
[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is positioned so that the notch 73 provides a margin for displacement of the handle-side protrusion 87. Referring to FIG. 27 , in this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 is positioned adjacent to the notch 73 in the left-right direction, and the notch 73 is formed in a position that overlaps the handle-side protrusion 87 in the up-down direction. In this case, the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided on a beam portion supported at two positions in the up-down direction (in FIG. 27 , the portion of the leg 71 between the notch 73 and the handle-side protrusion 87). Therefore, in this embodiment, the portion of the leg 71 where the handle-side protrusion 87 is provided can elastically deform toward the space of the notch 73. In this case, when the handle 7 is inserted into the opening A5 formed in the partition wall 5 and the handle-side protrusion 87 passes over the partition-wall protrusion 85, the handle-side protrusion 87 can be displaced away from the partition-wall protrusion 85 by the space of the notch 73. As a result, when the handle 7 is inserted into the opening A5 formed in the partition wall 5, the handle-side protrusion 87 can relatively easily climb over the partition wall-side protrusion 85. Therefore, by arranging the handle-side protrusion 87 at a position where the notch 73 provides a displacement allowance for the handle-side protrusion 87, as in this embodiment, the handle 7 can be easily attached to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. Note that FIG. 28 is an enlarged view showing region R6 in FIG. 26. As shown in FIG. 28, in this embodiment, the handle-side protrusion 87 provided on the other leg 71 of the handle 7 is also arranged at a position where the notch 73 provides a displacement allowance for the handle-side protrusion 87.
[0067] 25 , when the handle-side fitting portion 97 is provided on the elastic piece 74 as in this embodiment, when the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 passes over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, the user can feel the passing over, for example, as a click. Therefore, in this case, the user can easily recognize the positioning and release of the positioning of the handle 7. Furthermore, this also facilitates the engagement and release of the engagement between the handle-side fitting portion 97 and the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95. Specifically, when the handle 7 is pulled out from the partition wall 5 of the case body 2 to a predetermined position to position the handle 7, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 easily passes over the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95, thereby reducing the force required to position the handle 7. When the handle 7 is pushed in from the predetermined position on the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the second fitting protrusion 97b of the handle-side fitting portion 97 easily overcomes the partition wall-side fitting portion 95, thereby reducing the force required to push in the handle 7. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the operations required to position the handle 7 and to release the positioning are simplified. In addition, because the notch 73 forming the elastic piece 74 provides a displacement allowance for the handle-side protrusion 87, the handle-side protrusion 87 easily overcomes the partition wall-side protrusion 85 when the handle-side protrusion 87 is pushed into the partition wall-side protrusion 85. Therefore, even when the protrusion amount of the handle-side protrusion 87 (contact allowance ΔX in FIG. 23 ) is secured large so that the handle-side protrusion 87 does not easily come off the partition wall-side protrusion 85, the handle 7 can be easily assembled to the partition wall 5 of the case body 2.
[0068] In this embodiment, the handle protrusion 87 is provided on the side of the leg 71, and the handle fitting 97 is provided on the front or rear surface of the leg 71, as shown in Figure 25. In this case, the handle protrusion 87 and the handle fitting 97 are not arranged on the same plane, which allows the thickness of the handle 7 to be reduced while still allowing the handle 7 to be provided with the handle slip-off prevention part 8 and handle positioning part 9.
[0069] In this embodiment, a handle-side fitting portion 97 is disposed on the reverse side of the leg portion 71 in FIG. 28 . Also, in this embodiment, a configuration similar to that in FIG. 28 is disposed on the reverse side of the leg portion 71 in FIG. 27 . That is, in this embodiment, two handle positioning portions 9 are provided on each of two legs 71 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and are configured so that the partition-wall-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 fit together in opposite front-to-rear directions. Referring to FIG. 26 , in this embodiment, the handle-side fitting portion 97 of the handle-side positioning portion 9 is provided on only one of the two legs 71 in a front view (or rear view). Specifically, one of the two handle-side fitting portions 97 is provided on the front surface of one leg 71 of the handle 7, while the other of the two handle-side fitting portions 97 is provided on the rear surface of the other leg 71 of the handle 7. In other words, in this embodiment, the two handle positioning portions 9 are located symmetrically about a vertical axis passing through the center of the handle 7 in a plan view (bottom view), and are configured so that the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 fit together in opposite front-to-back directions. This makes it possible to prevent rattling of the handle 7 about the vertical axis when the handle 7 is pulled out and positioned in this embodiment. However, according to the present invention, the two handle positioning portions 9 may be located spaced apart in the left-right direction and so that the partition wall-side fitting portion 95 and the handle-side fitting portion 97 fit together in the same, but opposite front-to-back directions. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is sufficient to provide at least one handle positioning portion 9.
[0070] Fig. 29 is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD of the organizing case 1 of Fig. 3. Fig. 30 is an enlarged view showing region R7 of Fig. 29.
[0071] 30, in this embodiment, the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 has a handle-side front inclined surface F7a and a handle-side rear inclined surface F7b that incline toward each other as they extend upward. Furthermore, on the inside of the partition wall 5, a partition-side front inclined surface F5a and a partition-side rear inclined surface F5b are arranged that incline toward each other as they extend downward. When the handle 7 is pulled out to a position where its extension is restricted, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a is aligned with the partition-side front inclined surface F5a, and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b is aligned with the partition-side rear inclined surface F5b. In this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the partition-side front inclined surface F5a are angled at a predetermined angle α (e.g., 0.5 degrees) with respect to the vertical axis. In this embodiment, the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b and the partition-side rear inclined surface F5b are angled at a predetermined angle β (for example, 0.5 degrees) with respect to the vertical axis. According to the present invention, it is preferable that the angle α and the angle β are equal.
[0072] FIG. 31 is a side view showing the handle 7. Referring to FIG. 31, in this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b are each located at the lower part of the leg portion 71 of the handle 7. Specifically, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a is provided on the front surface of the reinforcing flange 76. Furthermore, the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b is provided on the rear surface of the reinforcing flange 76. FIG. 32 is an enlarged view showing the lower part of the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 in FIG. 26, viewed from the direction 2 of arrow D. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b each extend upward from the lower end 7eL of the handle 7. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b each extend upward from a height (position level) that overlaps with the handle-side protrusion 87 of the handle slip-off prevention portion 8 at a position in the front-to-rear direction relative to the handle-side protrusion 87 of the handle slip-off prevention portion 8. That is, in this embodiment, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b each extend upward from the lower end 7eL of the handle 7 beyond the handle-side protrusion 87.
[0073] 30, in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side front inclined surface F5a is provided on the rear surface of the front wall 54 of the handle support part 51. In addition, in this embodiment, the partition-wall-side rear inclined surface F5b is provided on the front surface of the rear wall 55 of the handle support part 51. In this embodiment, each of the partition-wall-side front inclined surface F5a and the partition-wall-side rear inclined surface F5b is inclined downward from a position that is a predetermined distance ΔL downward from the upper end 51eU of the handle support part 51.
[0074] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 24 , when the handle 7 is pulled out to a position positioned by the handle positioning portion 9, the handle-side front inclined surface F7a mates with the partition-wall-side front inclined surface F5a, and the handle-side rear inclined surface F7b mates with the partition-wall-side rear inclined surface F5b, as shown in Fig. 30 . As a result, when the handle 7 is pulled out to a position positioned from the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the front lower end of the handle 7 is held so as to be pressed rearward by the front wall 54 of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, and at the same time, the rear lower end of the handle 7 is held so as to be pressed forward by the rear wall 55 of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to suppress shaking in the front-to-back direction that may occur when the handle 7 is pulled out.
[0075] Furthermore, when storing a plurality of organizer cases 1 according to this embodiment, the bottom wall 4 of one organizer case 1 can be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of another organizer case 1.
[0076] 29, for example, in this embodiment, a storage space S7 that stores the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 is formed in the partition wall 5 of the case body 2. In this embodiment, the storage space S7 opens at the upper end of the partition wall 5. Specifically, the partition wall 5 opens to the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 through an opening A5 formed in the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the storage space S7 opens through an opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2, which penetrates the partition wall 5, specifically the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5, in the vertical direction.
[0077] Fig. 33 shows the organizing case 1 with the handle 7 pulled out, viewed from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. As shown in Fig. 33, with the organizing case 1 according to this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pulled out, the legs 71 of the handle 7 do not protrude from the opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4. Fig. 34 shows the organizing case 1 with the handle 7 pushed in, viewed from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. As shown in Fig. 34, with the organizing case 1 according to this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pulled out, the legs 71 of the handle 7 do not protrude from the opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4.
[0078] FIG. 35 is a front view of the organizer case 1 with the handle 7 pushed in. FIG. 36 is a side view of the organizer case 1 with the handle 7 pushed in. As shown in FIGS. 35 and 36 , with the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment, when the handle 7 is pushed in, the handle 7 does not protrude from the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, when storing multiple organizer cases 1, the handle 7 can be pushed in to house the handle 7 inside the case body 2 (organizing space S), and the bottom wall 4 of one organizer case 1 can be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of another organizer case 1. Therefore, the organizer case 1 according to this embodiment is portable, and when not being carried, it is compact, yet allows items to be taken in and out, and further allows multiple organizer cases to be stored compactly.
[0079] In this embodiment, the pushing of the handle 7 is limited by the gripping portion 72 of the handle 7 contacting the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 formed in the case body 2, as shown in FIG. 21 . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vertical length of the storage space S7 for the handle 7 in the case body 2 is set longer than the vertical length of the leg portion 71 of the handle 7. As a result, even when the handle 7 is pushed all the way in, the leg portion 71 of the handle 7 does not protrude from the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 35 and 36 , in this embodiment, the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of the case body 2 of the organizer case 1 is flat when the handle 7 is pushed in. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22 , in this embodiment, the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 of the partition wall 5 is located below the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52 of the partition wall 5. Therefore, according to this embodiment, by adjusting at least one of the vertical width of the gripping portion 72 of the handle 7 and the difference in height (position level) between the upper end 51eU of the handle support portion 51 and the upper end 52eU of the partition plate portion 52, even when the handle 7 is pushed in, the upper end of the gripping portion 72 of the handle 7, i.e., the upper end 7eU of the handle 7, does not protrude above the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3. Therefore, according to this embodiment, as shown in Figures 35 and 36, when the handle 7 is pushed in, the bottom wall 4 of the case body 2 of the organizing case 1 is flat.
[0080] In the present embodiment, by pushing the handle 7 into the partition wall 5 of the case body 2, the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 is positioned at the same level as or lower than the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3, allowing multiple organizer cases 1 to be stacked in the most compact manner. However, according to the present invention, even when the upper end 7eU of the handle 7 is higher than the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3, the bottom wall 4 of one organizer case 1 can be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of the other organizer case 1. As a specific example, the handle 7 of one organizer case 1 can be accommodated in the opening A4 formed in the bottom wall 4 of the other organizer case 1. This allows the bottom wall 4 of the other organizer case 1 to be placed on the upper end 3eU of the peripheral wall 3 of one organizer case 1.
[0081] The organizer case 1 may have the following dimensions, for example: Case body 2 Horizontal width 145~146mm, front / rear width 321~322mm, vertical width 82mm Partition wall 5 Left-right width: XX to XX mm, front-to-back width: 318 mm, vertical width (vertical height): 74 mm Handle 7 Left-right width: 8mm, front-back width: 120mm, vertical width (vertical height): 124mm Partition member 6 Front-to-back width: 68 mm, vertical width (vertical height): 73 mm
[0082] The above has been a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims. Furthermore, the various configurations employed in the above-described embodiments can be appropriately substituted for or combined with each other. [Explanation of symbols]
