Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrying container capable of accommodating and carrying articles such as leisure goods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a transport container of this type, for example, the one described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-21543 is known.
This conventional transport container comprises a box-shaped container body and a lid placed on the upper edge thereof. The lid is supported on the container body by a sandwiching piece provided on the side surface of the container body.

[0003]

However, in the conventional transport container, the lid has a function only to cover the opening of the container body. For this reason, when storing articles in the container, it is necessary to remove the lid from the container body and store the articles in order from the bottom of the container body. These carrying containers are used to carry leisure goods to necessary places, and are used for various purposes.
The size of the entire transport container has been expanded. And, of course, the lid is also becoming quite large. An example of a lid of a conventional transport container is a length 7
The size is about 7.6 cm, width 38.5 cm, and height 8.9 cm. Therefore, this large lid has to be removed every time an article is put into or taken out of the transport container, which is troublesome.

In addition, when the inside of the container body is not partitioned and small articles are stored inside the container body, the small articles sometimes enter between large articles, making it difficult to take out the small articles. Therefore, there is a problem in that the usability is poor.

When the inside of the container body is partitioned to solve this problem, a wall for the partition becomes an obstacle, and it becomes difficult to store a relatively large article. In addition, a configuration is also known in which an inner tray for accommodating small items is placed on the upper edge of the opening of the container body. However, even when the article is taken in and out of the inner plate, it is necessary to remove the large lid each time as in the case described above, and there is a problem that the usability is poor.

An object of the present invention is to make effective use of the space occupied by the lid, to form a storage means capable of storing small items, and to take in and out articles without removing the lid from the container body. An object of the present invention is to provide a transport container capable of performing the above.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the invention described in claim 1, in a transport container having a container body and a lid for covering the upper surface of the container body, the lid is A lid frame placed on the upper edge of the container body, and an upper lid that is openably and closably held on the upper portion of the lid frame are provided, and a storage means for storing an article is provided inside the lid body. The accommodating means comprises an opening formed inside the lid frame, a flange protruding from the periphery of the opening, and a box-shaped object detachably held by the flange. The upper part of the is opened and closed by the upper lid.

According to a second aspect of the invention, in the carrying container according to the first aspect, the storage means is a fixed box-shaped body formed integrally with the lid frame inside the lid frame. .

Therefore, a storage means for storing an article is provided inside the lid body, and an openable and closable upper lid is held on the upper portion thereof. A box-shaped object such as a basket forming a part of the accommodating means can be removed from the lid frame of the lid body with the article accommodated therein. Therefore, the portion from which the basket is removed becomes an opening, and the article can be taken in and out through the opening without removing the entire lid from the container body.

Further, since the accommodating means is provided inside the lid, the space occupied by the lid can be effectively utilized and the accommodating means hardly consumes the volume of the container body. Therefore, a volume capable of accommodating a relatively large article is ensured inside the container body.

Moreover, by opening only the upper lid, articles can be put in and taken out from the storage means inside the lid, which is convenient. Further, for example, small articles and the like can be stored in the storage means to prevent the small articles and the like from being mixed into other articles, and the articles can be easily arranged. Also, by selecting the depth of the basket, it is easy to change the volume of the storage means inside the lid.
