[Embodiment 1]
(1-1. Configuration of storage case 1 according to Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a storage case 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the lid portion 20 in the storage case 1 of the first embodiment.

The housing case 1 is a housing case that accommodates a plurality of stored items 50 so as to be able to be taken in and out from above in a posture during use. Specifically, the storage case 1 is a case that can store a plurality of tissue boxes 50 as stored items 50 in a vertically stacked manner. As shown in FIG. 1, the storage case 1 is configured such that the tissue paper 50P in the uppermost tissue box 50 of the tissue boxes 50 stored therein can be taken out with the tissue box 50 stored therein. has been done.

The storage case 1 has a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, and as shown in FIG. It is equipped with an elevating section 30 arranged at. The storage case 1 also includes a hinge 41, a fastener 42, and a caster member 43 as other elements.

The accommodating portion 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped appearance, and has a bottomed frame shape that is open at the top when in use. The housing section can be made of a material that can form a bottomed frame shape, such as metal, plastic, or wood, but the housing section 10 of the embodiment is formed by pasting plate-shaped wood pieces together to form a bottomed frame shape. ing. The storage section 10 has an internal space inside its frame shape that accommodates the maximum number of tissue boxes 50 (in this embodiment, five tissue boxes 50a to 50e) and an elevating section 30 (in a form in which an elevating table 32 is pushed in), which will be described later. ) are set so that they can be accommodated vertically one on top of the other. Further, the size of the frame of the storage unit 10 is set so that the stored items 50 can move smoothly in the vertical direction in the internal space. More specifically, the accommodating portion 10 is set such that the inner frame opening size is larger to some extent than the planar size of the surface of the tissue box 50 where the outlet is located. In addition, the depth of the inner frame of the storage section 10 is the total height of the stacked tissue boxes 50 corresponding to the maximum number of tissue boxes 50 accommodated, plus the height of the elevating section 30 (in the form in which the elevating platform 32 is pushed in). It is set to be somewhat larger than the dimensions.

The lid portion 20 is a plate with a planar size equivalent to the planar size of the storage portion 10 when viewed from above. The lid part can be made of a material that can be formed into a plate shape, such as metal, plastic, or wood, but the lid part 20 in the embodiment is made of a plate-shaped wood. The lid part 20 is configured to cover the upper opening of the housing part 10 and to be fixed to the housing part 10 . The lid part 20 is attached to the housing part 10 so as to be openable and closable via a hinge 41, which will be described later, and which is attached across the housing part 10 and the lid part 20. Moreover, the lid part 20 is fixedly attached to the housing part 10 on the side facing the hinge 41 so that the closed state can be maintained by a fastener 42, which will be described later, and is attached across the housing part 10 and the lid part 20. There is. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid part 20 has a take-out hole 21 formed in the center thereof as a take-out port 21 for taking out the tissue paper 50P (a part of the contents 50) that is the contents of the tissue box 50. There is.

The elevating part 30 is arranged on the bottom side of the internal space of the accommodating part 10 and is configured to be able to place the tissue box 50 above. The elevating unit 30 includes an elevating base 31 that is in contact with the bottom surface of the storage unit 10 , an elevating table 32 that is arranged above the elevating base 31 and spaced apart from the elevating base 31 , and a space between the elevating base 31 and the elevating table 32 . A biasing member 33 is disposed at and biases the lifting table 32 to move upward.

The elevating base 31 has a shape that is stably arranged on the bottom surface of the accommodating part 10. Specifically, the elevating base 31 is formed as a plate member having a planar size similar to the bottom surface size of the accommodating portion 10. The elevating base can be made of metal, plastic, wood, or the like, and the elevating base 31 of the embodiment is made of plastic. Note that the elevating base 31 may not be particularly plate-shaped or may not be provided as long as the elevating table 32 (described later) in the elevating portion 30 is stabilized in the internal space of the housing portion 10. Furthermore, the elevating base 31 may be configured to simply be placed on the bottom surface of the housing section 10 and stabilized by gravity, or may be configured to be securely fixed to the bottom surface of the housing section 10 with screws or the like.

The elevating table 32 is a table movable in the vertical direction in the internal space of the storage section 10, and directly or indirectly supports the tissue box 50 from below. Although the elevating table can be made of metal, plastic, wood, or other materials, the elevating table 32 of the embodiment is made of plastic. Further, the lifting table may have any shape as long as it can directly or indirectly support the stored object 50, but the lifting table 32 of the embodiment has a mounting plate 32a and a side plate 32b extending downward from the edge of the mounting plate 32a. have. The mounting plate 32a is formed with a planar dimension that is one size smaller than the opening dimension of the accommodating portion 10. The mounting plate 32a constitutes the uppermost surface of the elevating section 30, and the tissue box 50 can be placed thereon. In order to prevent excessive inclination of the mounting plate 32a, the side plate 32b preferably extends downward to such a length that it hits the inner surface of the housing portion 10 if the elevating platform 32 inclines too much. Further, it is preferable that the side plate 32b extends downward with a length corresponding to the minimum gap between the lifting base 31 and the mounting plate 32a so as to prevent the biasing member 33 described below from becoming sag. .

The biasing member 33 is a compression spring (coil spring), and is disposed between the elevator platform 32 and the bottom surface of the housing section 10 . The biasing member 33 has a lower end supported by the elevating base 31, and an upper end supporting the lower surface of the mounting plate 32a of the elevating table 32. In other words, the compressed biasing member 33 continues to constantly apply a force to the bottom surface of the housing section 10 to push up the lifting table 32. The deflection length of the biasing member 33 changes depending on the sum of the weight of the lifting table 32 and the weight of the tissue box 50 placed on the lifting table 32. That is, the larger the number of tissue boxes 50 accommodated, the lower the elevator platform 32 is, and the smaller the number of tissue boxes 50 accommodated, the higher the platform 32 is.

Here, the biasing member 33 only needs to be able to lift the stored object 50 above the upper end of the storage section 10. It is particularly preferable that specifications are set so that the following relational expression holds when the lid part 20 is opened, where H3 is the height of the tissue box 30 and n is the number of tissue boxes 50 accommodated.

(Relational expression) H1<H2×n+H3<H1+H2

That is, the biasing member 33 biases the lifting table 32 so that when the lid 20 is opened with the stored object 50 stored in the storage section 10, at least a part of the stored object 50 is pushed out from the storage section 10. It is preferable to do so. In particular, when the stored item 50 is a tissue box 50, the biasing member 33 is positioned at the uppermost position of the tissue box 50 when the lid section 20 is opened with the tissue box 50 stored in the storage section 10. It is preferable that the lifting table 32 is biased so that only a part or all of the tissue box 50 is pushed out of the storage section 10.

The hinge 41 is, for example, a flat hinge, and has a first member 41a, a second member 41b, and a rotation axis 41c between the first member 41a and the second member 41b. are element parts that are rotatable with respect to each other. The hinge 41 has the first member 41a fixed to the lid 20 and the second member 41b fixed to the housing 10, thereby rotatably connecting the lid 20 to the housing 10. There is.

The fastener 42 consists of an engaging member 42a and an engaging partner member 42b, and by deforming the engaging member 42a, the relationship between the engaging member 42a and the engaging partner member 42b is changed to an engaged state or a non-engaged state. It is an element member that can be switched to a different state. The fastener 42 is configured such that the engaging member 42a is hooked onto the engaging member 42b when the lid 20 is closed relative to the storage portion 10. is fixed to the housing section 10.

The caster member 43 is a general caster element component, and is fixed below the housing part 10, making it easy to move the housing case 1 laterally.

(1-2. How to use storage case 1 according to Embodiment 1)
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating how to use the storage case 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4A shows a state in which one tissue box 50 is placed on the lifting table 32 with the lid 20 opened. FIG. 4B shows a state in which the maximum number of tissue boxes 50 that can be accommodated are placed on the lifting table 32 with the lid 20 opened. FIG. 4(c) shows a state in which the maximum number of tissue boxes 50 that can be accommodated are placed on the lifting table 32 and the lid is closed. FIG. 4(d) shows a state in which one tissue box 50 is placed on the lifting table 32 and the lid is closed. The method of using the storage case 1 will be explained below using FIG. 4.

First, a method of storing the tissue box 50 in the storage case 1 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the user places the storage case 1 in an open state by disengaging the fasteners 42 and opening the lid part 20. Then, the upper surface of the lifting table 32 pushed up by the biasing member 33 is exposed near the opening of the storage section 10, and the user places the tissue box 50a on the lifting table 32. When the user wants to store the second tissue box 50b in the storage case 1, the user places the tissue box 50b on top of the tissue box 50a. Then, in the storage case 1, the weight of the tissue box on the lifting table 32 increases, the biasing member 33 is bent, and the lifting table 32 is in a lowered state. Furthermore, when the user has stored the tissue box 50, he/she similarly places further tissue boxes (50c to 50e) on top of each other up to the maximum number of tissue boxes that can be accommodated. Then, in the storage case 1, the biasing member 33 is bent according to the weight of the tissue box on the lifting table 32, and the lifting table 32 is lowered step by step. For example, as shown in FIG. The tissue boxes 50a to 50d other than the tissue box 50e are housed inside the housing section 10. Further, the user closes the lid portion 20 and brings the fastener 42 into the engaged state, as shown in FIG. 4(c). Then, in the storage case 1, the topmost tissue box 50e is pushed downward by the lid 20, and all the tissue boxes 50a to 50e to be stored are stored inside the storage section 10. In the storage case 1 of this embodiment, since the outlet 21 is formed in the lid part 20, after storing the tissue box 50, the user can remove the tissue paper 50P that is the content of the tissue box 50 in the uppermost stage. A part of the object 50) can be taken out from above and used.

Next, a method for taking out the housed tissue box 50 will be explained. When the user wants to take out the tissue box 50e, such as when the topmost tissue box 50e is empty, the user sets the storage case 1 to the disengaged state with the fastener 42, as shown in FIG. 4(b). to open the lid part 20. Then, in the storage case 1, the lifting platform 32 is pushed up by the biasing member 33, and the tissue box 50e on the highest stage pops out from inside the storage section 10, so that the user can easily take out the tissue box 50e that has popped out. be able to. The user may refill the tissue box after taking it out, or if there are still tissue boxes left, the user may close the lid 20 and engage the fastener 42. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4(d), in the accommodation case 1 of the embodiment, even if the tissue box 50 accommodated is only the tissue box 50a at the lowest stage, the tissue box 50a is moved up by the elevation of the elevator platform 32. It is pressed against the lid part 20, and the tissue paper 50P which is the content can be taken out from above and used. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(a), in the storage case 1 of the embodiment, even if the only tissue box 50 accommodated is the tissue box 50a at the bottom, when the lid 20 is opened, the last tissue box 50 can be stored. Since up to 50a pops out from inside the accommodating part 10, all the tissue boxes 50 housed therein can be easily taken out.

(1-3. Effects related to embodiment)
The storage case 1 has a bottomed frame-shaped storage section 10 that is open at the top and can accommodate stored items 50 vertically stacked in the internal space, and a lifting table 32 and a lifting table 32 that are attached to move upward. The lifting unit 30 includes a biasing member 33 that applies pressure, and is arranged in the internal space of the storage unit 10 and can place the stored item 50 upward. That is, in the storage case 1, the stored object 50 naturally rises upward by the biasing member 33 in the lifting section 30 disposed inside the storage section 10, and also rises on the lifting platform 32 that can be pushed down from above. will be housed in. Further, in the storage case 1, the stored items 50 are replenished from the upper opening of the storage section 10. Therefore, according to the storage case 1, since a plurality of stored items 50 can be stored, the frequency of replenishment of stored items 50 can be reduced. Moreover, according to the storage case 1, since the stored items 50 are pushed in from above the storage section 10 and replenished one on top of the other, the stored items 50 can be easily replenished.

In addition, since the storage case 1 includes a lid part 20 that covers the opening of the storage part 10 and can be fixed to the storage part 10, by fixing the lid part 20 to the storage part 10, the stored items 50 can be fixed to the storage part 10. It is contained without flying out. Therefore, according to the storage case 1, the stored object 50 can be stored so that it cannot be seen from the outside, so that the interior appearance can be improved.

As a result, in the storage case 1, the frequency of replenishment of the stored items 50 is reduced, and a situation arises in which it becomes troublesome to have to go to another location to retrieve new stored items 50 for replenishment at the timing when it is necessary to use it. The storage case can reduce risks and easily replenish the stored items 50.

In the storage case 1, the lid portion 20 is formed with an outlet 21 for taking out a part of the stored object 50. Thereby, the contents (tissue paper 50P) of the container 50 (tissue box 50) can be used.

In the storage case 1 , the lid 20 is attached to the storage section 10 so that it can be opened and closed via a hinge 41 and can be maintained in the closed state with a fastener 42 . This makes it easier to open and close the lid 20, making it easier to replenish the contents 50.

In the storage case 1, the biasing member 33 is configured using a compression spring 33 disposed between the lifting platform 32 and the bottom surface of the storage section 10. By using the compression spring 33, the planar size of the elevating section that can be moved above the elevating table 32 can be reduced.

In the storage case 1 , the biasing member 33 is arranged on a lifting platform so that when the lid 20 is opened with the stored object 50 stored in the storage section 10 , at least a part of the stored object 50 is pushed out from the storage section 10 . 32 is energized. This makes it easier to collect the contents 50 that have become empty during replenishment, the contents 50 that need to be replaced, and the like. Specifically, when the lid section 20 is opened with the tissue boxes 50 housed in the accommodating section 10, the biasing member 33 pushes only a part or all of the tissue box located at the uppermost position among the tissue boxes 50. The elevating table 32 is urged so that it is pushed out from the housing section 10. This makes it easier to collect the empty tissue box 50 or the tissue box 50 to be replaced when replenishing.

In the housing case 1, the housing section 10 has caster members 43 fixed below. This makes it easier to move.

[Embodiment 2]
FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of the storage case 101 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line CC in FIG.

The storage case 101 is a storage case that stores a part of the plurality of stored items 150 in such a manner that they can be taken in and out from the top in a posture during use. Specifically, the storage case 101 is a case that can store a plurality of kitchen paper towels 150 as stored objects 150 in a vertically stacked manner. As shown in FIG. 5, the storage case 101 is configured such that a part of the uppermost kitchen paper 150 among the kitchen paper 150 stored therein can be taken out.

The housing case 101 basically has the same configuration as the housing case 1 of the first embodiment, but differs from the housing case 1 of the first embodiment in the form of the housing part and the lid part, and the form of the legs. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the storage case 1 of the first embodiment, the outlet for the stored items is the extraction hole 21 formed in the lid part 20, whereas in the storage case 101, this is not the case. Another point is that in the accommodation case 1 of the first embodiment, a mechanism for preventing the elevating platform 32 from jumping out from the accommodating section 10 was not formed in the accommodating section 10 and the elevating platform 32, whereas this is not the case in the accommodating case 101. , and the accommodation case 1 of Embodiment 1 is different in that the legs are in the form of caster members 43, whereas the legs in the accommodation case 101 are not. In the following, the same components as in Embodiment 1 will be given the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1 on the drawings, and a description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, the storage case 101 includes a storage section 110, a lid section 120 arranged above the storage section 110, and an elevating section 130 arranged in the internal space of the storage section 110. The storage case 1 also includes a hinge (not shown), a fastener (not shown), and legs 143 as other elements.

The housing section 110 basically has a bottomed frame shape that is open at the top, similar to the housing section 10 of the first embodiment, and the internal space inside the frame shape accommodates the maximum number of stored items 150 (a plurality of kitchen items). The size of the frame is set so that the paper 150) and the elevating section 130 (a form in which the elevating table 132 is pushed in), which will be described later, can be accommodated in a stacked manner in the vertical direction. Further, the size of the frame of the storage section 110 is set so that the stored object 150 can move smoothly in the vertical direction in the internal space. Further, in the accommodating portion 110, a partially recessed take-out groove 111 is formed in the opening-side end surface of the plate material constituting the outer frame. As a result, the storage case 101 has an ejection opening formed by the ejection groove 111 and the lid part 120 that can take out a part of the stored object 150 at the upper side of the side surface even when the lid part 120 (described later) is closed. have. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the housing portion 110 has a stopper 112 and a guide 113 fixed to an inner wall surface facing one of the plates forming the outer frame. The stopper 112 is a horizontally elongated plate fixed to the upper part of the inner wall surface. The guide 113 is a plate member extending downward from the stopper 112 fixed to the center of the inner wall surface. As a result, a T-shaped convex plane is formed by the stopper 112 and the guide 113 on the inner wall surface of the accommodating portion 110 .

The lid portion 120 is basically a plate having a planar size equivalent to the planar size of the storage portion 110 when viewed from above, similar to the lid portion 20 of the first embodiment. The lid part 120 is attached to the housing part 110 via hinges (not shown) attached to the housing part 110 and the longitudinal edges of the lid part 120 so as to be openable and closable. Moreover, the lid part 120 is attached to the side facing the hinge by a fastener (not shown) attached across the storage part 110 and the lid part 120 so that the closed state can be maintained.

Basically, like the elevating part 30 of the first embodiment, the elevating part 130 is arranged on the bottom side of the internal space of the accommodating part 110, and is configured to be able to place the kitchen paper 150 above. The elevating unit 130 includes an elevating base 31 that is in contact with the bottom surface of the storage unit 10 , an elevating table 132 that is arranged above the elevating base 31 and spaced apart from the elevating base 31 , and a space between the elevating base 31 and the elevating table 132 .
