Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0021] An open-top container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

[0022] Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the state in which the open-top container 1 is towed by a container dedicated truck (also called a container truck) 2. Although not shown, the open-top container 1 is a special transportation container with an open ceiling part. While a roof is fixed to a normal container, the open-top container has a structure in which that part is removable or can be covered only with a canvas or a panel. The rear door 3 described in FIG. 3 of this embodiment is a single-door type that opens only on the left side, but the The rear door 3 of the open-top container 1 of the present invention is not limited to this. Although not shown, it may be a single-door type that opens only on the right side, or may be a double-opening butterfly door (two doors that open left and right). The rear door 3 may also be a door (flap) that opens downward or upward, and the opening direction and shape of the rear door 3 are not limited.

[0023] The open-top container 1 has a bottom 4, a front wall 5 (see FIG. 1), a rear door 3 (see FIG. 3), a left wall 6, and a right wall 7, and is capable of handling cargo from above. As shown in Figure 5, 8 is a bottom side plate-like member, which is erected on the part of the bottom 4 closer to the rear door 3 (see Figure 3) than the front wall 5, and is fixed (for example, welded) to the bottom 4. The bottom side plate-like member 8 has a bottom side main surface 81, a first bottom side surface 82 which is narrower than the bottom side main surface 81 in the thickness direction of the bottom side plate-like member 8, a second bottom side surface 83 which is narrower than the bottom side main surface 81 at the longitudinal end of the bottom side plate-like member 8, and a bottom back surface 84.

[0024] As shown in Figure 5, 9 is the left-side plate-like member, which is erected on the part of the left wall 6 closer to the rear door 3 (see Figure 3) than the front wall 5, and is fixed (for example, welded) to the left wall 6. The left plate-like member 9 has a left main surface 91, a first left side surface 92 which is narrower than the left main surface 91 in the thickness direction of the left plate-like member 9, and a second left side surface 93, 93 which is narrower than the left main surface 91 at the longitudinal end of the left plate-like member 9.

[0025] The 10 shown in Figure 5 is a right-side plate-shaped member, which is erected on the right wall 7 on the side closer to the rear door 3 (see Figure 3) than the front wall 5, and is fixed (for example, welded) to the right wall 7. The right-side plate-like member 10 has a right-side main surface 101, a first right-side surface 102 which is narrower than the right-side main surface 101 in the thickness direction of the right-side plate-like member 10, and a second right-side surface 103, 103 which is narrower than the right-side main surface 101 at the longitudinal end of the right-side plate-like member 10.

[0026] Accordingly, the open-top container 1 described above comprises a bottom side plate-like member 8 that is erected on the part of the bottom 4 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the bottom 4, a left side plate-like member 9 that is erected (upright) on the part of the left wall 6 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the left wall 6, and a right side plate-like member 10 that is erected (upright) on the part of the right wall 7 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the right wall 7. Since the first bottom side surface 82 is fixed to the bottom 4, the first left side surface 92 is fixed to the left wall 6, and the first right side surface 102 is fixed to the right wall 7, the main surfaces 91 and 101 are not laid flat as in conventional containers, but are kept upright, and the open-top container 1 can be prevented from spreading with less material, and the reduced weight can also suppress an increase in fuel consumption of the towing vehicle.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple bottom side plate-like members 8 are arranged side by side (hanging) on ​​the bottom 4, multiple left side plate-like members 9 are arranged side by side (standing) on ​​the left wall 6, and multiple right side plate-like members 10 are arranged side by side (standing) on ​​the right wall 7. As a result, the expansion of the open-top container 1 can be prevented while suppressing an increase in weight.

[0028] Furthermore, 94 shown in Figure 5 is a left-side spacing member that maintains the distance between the parallel left-side plate-shaped members 9, and is fixed (for example, welded) to the left main surface 91 of the left-side plate-shaped member 9. 104 is a right-side spacing member that maintains the distance between the parallel right-side plate-shaped members 10, and is fixed (for example, welded) to the right-side main surface 101 of the right-side plate-shaped member 10. Therefore, the spacing between the left-side plate-shaped member 9 and the right-side plate-shaped member 10 can be maintained.

[0029] Furthermore, part 11 shown in Figure 4 is a U-shaped member, and multiple bottom side plate-like members 8 are arranged in a row on the upper surface 11A of the bottom surface of the U-shaped member 11, multiple left side plate-like members 9 are arranged in a row on the upper surface 11B of the bottom surface of the U-shaped member 11, and multiple right side plate-like members 10 are arranged in a row, respectively, and are fixed (for example, welded). Note that the U-shaped member 11 can be formed, for example, by welding the open portion of the L-shaped member shown in Figure 5 with the member 84 shown in Figure 5. Therefore, the bottom side plate-like member 8, the left side plate-like member 9, and the right side plate-like member 10 are integrated and strengthened, preventing the open-top container from spreading while suppressing an increase in weight.

[0030] Furthermore, 12 shown in Figure 5 is a first transverse member that crosses the bottom surface of the U-shaped member 11. The first left side surface 92 of the multiple left plate-shaped members 9 arranged in parallel on one surface A of the first transverse member 12 is fixed (for example, by welding), one second bottom side surface 83 of the multiple bottom side plate-shaped members 8 arranged in parallel on the surface B opposite to the surface A of the first transverse member 12 is fixed (for example, by welding), the first right side surface 102 of the multiple right plate-shaped members 10 arranged in parallel on one surface A' of the second transverse member 13 that crosses the bottom surface of the U-shaped member 12 is fixed (for example, by welding), and the other second bottom side surface 83 of the multiple bottom side plate-shaped members 8 arranged in parallel on the surface B' opposite to the surface A' of the second transverse member 13 is fixed (for example, by welding). Therefore, the bottom side plate-like member 8, the left side plate-like member 9, and the right side plate-like member 10 are integrated and strengthened via the first transverse member 12 and the second transverse member 13, thereby preventing the open-top container 1 from expanding while suppressing an increase in weight.

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, 14 is a left-side cover that covers multiple left-side plate-shaped members 9 arranged in parallel, and 15 is a right-side cover that covers multiple right-side plate-shaped members 10 arranged in parallel. In other words, the multiple side-by-side left-side plate-like members 9 are covered by the left-side cover 14, and the multiple side-by-side right-side plate-like members 10 are covered by the right-side cover 15, so that the multiple side-by-side left-side plate-like members 9 and the multiple side-by-side right-side plate-like members 10 can be protected from rain and wind, respectively.

[0032] In the above-described embodiment, a bottom-side plate-like member 8 is provided, which has a bottom-side main surface 81, a first bottom-side surface 82 that is narrower than the bottom-side main surface 81 in the thickness direction of the bottom-side plate-like member 8, and a second bottom-side surface 83 that is narrower than the bottom-side main surface 81 at the longitudinal end of the bottom-side plate-like member 8. However, the bottom-side plate-like member 8 may be omitted depending on the circumstances.

[0033] In other words, the open-top container 1 has a bottom 4, a front wall 5, a rear door 3, a left wall 6, and a right wall 7, and is an open-top container 1 that allows loading and unloading from above, and comprises a left-side plate-like member 9 that is erected on the part of the left wall 6 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the left wall 6, and a right-side plate-like member 10 that is erected on the part of the right wall 7 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the right wall 7, and the left-side plate-like member 9 has a left main surface 91, and the width of the left main surface 91 in the thickness direction of the left-side plate-like member 9 is The left plate-like member 9 has a narrower first left side surface 92 and a second left side surface 93 that is narrower than the left main surface 91 at the longitudinal end of the left plate-like member 9. The right plate-like member 10 has a right main surface 101, a first right side surface 102 that is narrower than the right main surface 101 in the thickness direction of the right plate-like member 10, and a second right side surface 103 that is narrower than the right main surface 101 at the longitudinal end of the right plate-like member 10. The first bottom side surface 82 is fixed to the bottom 4, the first left side surface 92 is fixed to the left wall 6, and the first right side surface 102 is fixed to the right wall 7.

[0034] The open-top container 1 described above includes a left-side plate-like member 9 that is erected (upright) on the part of the left wall 6 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the left wall 6, and a right-side plate-like member 10 that is erected (upright) on the part of the right wall 7 closer to the rear door 3 than the front wall 5 and fixed to the right wall 7. Since the first left side surface 92 is fixed to the left wall 6 and the first right side surface 102 is fixed to the right wall 7, the main surfaces 91 and 101 are not laid flat as in conventional containers, but are kept upright, and the open-top container 1 can be prevented from spreading with less material, and the reduced weight can also suppress an increase in fuel consumption of the towing vehicle.
