BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a storage case for an electric cooker of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a state where the electric cooker is stored, FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state where the electric cooker is stored and standing, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of a case where the lid is opened.
[0009]
The storage case of the illustrated embodiment is divided into upper and lower parts, and is composed of a body container 1 and a lid 2 capable of accommodating the electric cooker A in a flat position, and the body container 1 and the lid 2 have moderate strength as a case. Molded into a shell with a synthetic resin material having The body container 1 and the lid 2 are pivotally mounted on a hinge 3 at the rear end so as to be openable and closable, so that the electric cooker A can be freely taken in and out of the opened body container 1 and provided at the front end. The locking device 4 can be locked in the closed state. The locking means of the body container 1 and the lid 2 is optional, but the locking means in the illustrated example moves the slider 4c in a state where the engaging portion 4a of the body container and the engaging portion 4b of the lid 2 are engaged, and The engagement between the portions 4a and 4b is maintained.
[0010]
A handle 5 is formed in front of the storage case. That is, by forming the body container handle 5a in front of the body container 1 and the cover handle 5b in front of the lid 2, the body container handle 5a and the lid handle 5b are fitted in the closed state, and the handle 5 Is formed. In the handle 5 of this embodiment, both the body container 1 and the cover 2 are grasped when the handle 5 is grasped, so that there is no possibility of inadvertently opening the cover when the case is lowered, for example. . That is, the handle 5 is formed on a part of the outer periphery of the case accommodating the electric cooker A. At the opposite position of the handle 5 thus formed, that is, behind the storage case where the hinge 3 is located, the outer peripheral legs 6 and 6 are formed on both the body container 1 and the lid 2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the case can be erected in the closed state in which the electric cooker A is housed.
[0011]
The outer peripheral edge portions of the body container 1 and the lid 2, including the handle portion 5, are configured so that the entire periphery thereof fits in irregularly. That is, the ridges 8 of the lid 2 are fitted over the entire periphery into the grooves 7 formed on the outer peripheral end surface of the body container, and the lid is closed in a sealed state. As described above, when the outer peripheral portions of the shell-shaped body container 1 and the lid 2 are fitted over the entire periphery, a very strong case is obtained as a whole.
[0012]
Plane legs 9, 9 projecting downward are formed at four places on the bottom surface of the body container 1 formed in a shell shape. The legs 9, 9 of this plane are formed in the same positional relationship as the legs of the electric cooker A to be housed, and the legs 9, 9 which are recessed inside the body container 1 are attached to the legs of the electric cooker A. B is inserted. Thus, the electric cooker A stored in the body container 1 is firmly positioned. As described above, in the case of the illustrated embodiment, since the legs are provided on both the bottom leg 9 on which the body container 1 is placed in a plane and the outer leg 6, for example, the case is placed on a shelf or the like. The electric cooker can be stored in a small posture while standing in a narrow gap.
[0013]
On the inner bottom surface of the body container 1, wall-shaped ribs 10, 10 are provided upright at four corners in the drawing. The ribs 10, 10 are shaped to abut or approach the side and bottom surfaces of the electric cooker A to be stored, and come into contact with the ribs 10 in the surface direction when the electric cooker A to be stored is about to move. I try to prevent delusion. In other words, when the electric cooker tries to pervert, it comes into contact with the surface direction of the rib 10, so that the elasticity of the rib 10 causes the electric cooker to be supported in a buffered manner. On the inner surface of the lid 2, small ribs 11, 11 project downward. The rib 11 protruding from the lid 2 abuts or approaches a part of the upper surface of the stored electric cooker A to prevent the electric cooker A from moving upward and rattling. The ribs 10 and 11 described above do not need to be always in contact with the stored electric cooker A, and it is preferable that the ribs 10 and 11 can prevent the electric cooker A from moving when the electric cooker A tries to delusion. preferable.
[0014]
When the rib 10 is erected inside the body container 1, a space 12 surrounded by the rib 10 and the main body of the body container 1 is formed outside the rib 10. Therefore, it is convenient to use the space 12 as a space for accommodating small items such as parts and accessories related to the electric cooker A. In order to use the space 12 surrounded by the rib 10 and a part of the body container 1 as a space for accommodating small items, it is preferable that this space be a closed independent space as much as possible. For this reason, the rib 10 forms a space 12 which is defined by extending both ends of a portion in contact with the electric cooker A to be stored in the outer peripheral direction, and includes, for example, a cord accommodating portion indispensable as an accessory of the electric cooker. Can be formed. Although not shown, a door that can be opened and closed can be provided on the open surface of the space 12, or small items stored can be fixed by a partition wall or the like.
[0015]
The specific shape of the body container 1 and the lid 2 formed in a shell shape may be any shape as long as the shape can accommodate the electric cooker A. However, it is preferable that the external shape is as close as possible to the electric cooker A and that no extra space is created, and the appearance becomes better. Further, a rounded shape that swells over the whole is advantageous in strength. However, in the case of a rounded shape, it is slippery and inconvenient to place something on the case. Therefore, in the illustrated example, a certain range of the central portion of the lid surface which has a plump shape is formed in a planar manner so that an object can be placed on the planar area 13.
[0016]
As a result of forming the planar region 13 on a part of the upper surface portion of the lid that swells up, a step (inclined surface) 14 is formed at the boundary between the planar portion and the bulging portion. The step 14 functions as a reinforcing portion on the upper surface of the lid that expands as a whole, making the lid more robust. The plane area 13 does not necessarily have to be a strict horizontal plane, but may be any plane that does not allow objects to slide down. In the illustrated embodiment, the flat region 15 is also formed on the body container corresponding to the shape of the flat region 13 of the lid. By forming the plane region 15 in the body container, the appearance of the body container and the lid is formed symmetrically to improve the appearance, and the step (inclination surface) 16 formed by forming the plane region 15 allows the body container to be formed. There are benefits to improve strength.
[0017]
In addition, if the body container 1 and the lid 2 which are pivotally supported by the hinge 3 at the rear end are detachable hinge structures, it is convenient for cleaning the case lid. The detachable hinge structure has a shape in which the bearing of the other one of the body container 1 and the lid 2 is fitted only to a pivot provided on one of the body container 1 and the lid 2 within a certain angle range. For example, when the lid is widely opened, it can be detached. In addition, a detachable bearing structure is known, and any known detachable bearing structure can be applied to the bearing structure of the body container 1 and the lid 2 in the present invention.
