Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0010]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage container 1 having a partition structure according to the present invention, which is housed in a multistage shelf 2 so as to be freely drawn out.
[0011]
The storage container 1 is made of a plastic material such as ABS resin, and is formed in a box shape having an open upper surface as shown in FIG. A plurality of first engaging grooves 3 are formed at predetermined intervals on the opposing surface of the side wall of the storage container 1 from the upper end downward. A first relief portion 4 (see FIG. 3) is formed on the upper end portion of the side wall so as to be continuous with the first engagement grooves 3.
[0012]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a first partition plate 5, a second partition plate 6, and a third partition plate 7 are detachably mounted on the storage container 1.
[0013]
The first partition plate 5 is a long plate-like body, and first engagement portions 8 that engage and disengage with the first engagement grooves 3 of the storage container 1 are formed at both ends. In addition, a plurality of second engaging grooves 9 extending downward from the upper end are provided on both sides of the first partition plate 5 at predetermined intervals. Thus, the 2nd engagement groove | channel 9 is formed in both surfaces of the 1st partition plate 5, The center part is not notched conventionally, but has sufficient intensity | strength. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a second escape portion 10 is formed at the upper end of the first partition plate 5 at a portion corresponding to the second engagement groove 9.
[0014]
The second partition plate 6 is a long plate-like body similar to the first partition plate 5 and can be disposed so as to intersect the first partition plate 5. At both ends of the second partition plate 6, second engagement portions 11 that engage with and disengage from the first engagement groove 3 of the storage container 1 are formed. The second partition plate 6 is formed with a plurality of cutout portions 12 extending upward from the lower end at predetermined intervals (hereinafter, the remaining portion is referred to as a connecting portion 13). Engaging protrusions 14 having a substantially T-shaped section projecting from and disengaging from the respective second engaging grooves 9 on both surfaces of the first partition plate 5 project from the opposing surface of the notch 12.
[0015]
The third partition plate 7 can be disposed between the side wall of the storage container 1 and the first partition plate 5, or when a plurality of the first partition plates 5 are arranged in parallel. At both ends of the third partition plate 7, third engagement portions 15 similar to the partition plates 5, 6 and 7 are formed. The third partition plate 7 can be attached by engaging the third engagement portion 15 with the first engagement groove 3 of the side wall or the second engagement groove 9 of the first partition plate 5. ing. The third partition plate 7 can have various dimensions according to the position and number of the first partition plates 5 provided in the storage container 1, and is similar to the second partition plate 6 at an intermediate portion thereof. A simple engaging projection may be formed.
[0016]
The procedure for attaching each partition plate is as follows.
[0017]
That is, first, the space in the storage container 1 is divided by the first partition plate 5. In this division, the first engaging portions 8 formed at both ends of the first partition plate 5 are engaged with the first engaging grooves 3 formed on the opposing surfaces of the side walls of the storage container 1 from above.
[0018]
Next, the space partitioned by the first partition plate 5 is further divided by the second partition plate 6. In this division, similarly to the first partition plate 5, each of the second partition plates 6 is formed in each of the first engagement grooves 3 formed at opposite positions of the side walls orthogonal to the first engagement grooves 3. While engaging the 2nd engaging part 11 from upper direction, the engaging convex part 14 of the 2nd partition plate 6 is engaged with the 2nd engaging groove 9 of the 1st partition plate 5. FIG.
[0019]
Thereafter, the space formed by the first partition plate 5 and the second partition plate 6 is further divided by the third partition plate 7. In this division, the third engagement portions 15 formed at both ends of the third partition plate 7 are replaced with the first engagement groove 3 on the side wall of the storage container 1 and the second engagement groove 9 on the first partition plate 5, or When a plurality of first partition plates 5 are arranged side by side, the first partition plates 5 are engaged with the second engagement grooves 9 of the first partition plates 5, respectively.
[0020]
However, the dividing method using the respective partition plates 5, 6, 7 is performed only by the first partition plate 5, the first partition plate 5 and the second partition plate 6, or the first partition plate 5 and the third partition plate 7. You may do it.
[0021]
In the storage container 1 having such a partition structure, the partition position can be changed each time according to the medical-related product to be stored.
[0022]
Generally, it is performed by changing the mounting position of the third partition plate 7. To change the mounting position of the third partition plate 7, the third engagement portion 15 is detached from the first engagement groove 3 on the side wall or the second engagement groove 9 of the first partition plate 5, and the other first engagement is achieved. This is performed by engaging with the joint groove 3 or the second engagement groove 9. In this case, depending on how the third partition plate 7 is removed, a load may act on the first partition plate 5 due to the detachment of the third engagement portion 15 from each engagement groove 3 or 9. However, the first partition plate 5 remains connected without being cut out even at the portion where the second engagement groove 9 is formed, and has sufficient strength, so that it does not cause damage.
[0023]
The partition position may be changed by changing the mounting position of the first partition plate 5 or the second partition plate 6. When the mounting position of the second partition plate 6 is changed, the first partition plate 5 is changed. Even if a load acts on the first partition plate 5, the first partition plate 5 is not damaged for the same reason as described above.
[0024]
By the way, in the said embodiment, by forming the relief parts 4 and 10 in the side wall of the storage container 1, or the upper end of the 1st partition plate 5, engagement of the 1st partition plate 5 or the 3rd partition plate 7 in an engagement groove | channel. When the portions 8 and 15 are engaged, the upper ends of the respective members are flush with each other. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the base portions of the engaging portions 8 and 15 are provided without providing the relief portions 4 and 10. You may make it form the notch 5a.
[0025]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was set as the structure which the 2nd partition plate 6 protrudes upwards compared with the 1st partition plate 5 and the 3rd partition plate 7, as shown in FIG. The upper surface of the first partition plate 5 and the upper surface of the third partition plate 7 may be flush with each other by forming the recess 11 in the surface. In this case, both the partition plates 5 and 6 may have substantially the same strength by notching the engaging portion between the first partition plate 5 and the second partition plate 6 and engaging each other.
[0026]
