Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for accommodating an inner bag for accommodating water and the like, and a rainwater collecting tool for cutting and removing a part of a drainage pipe of a rain gutter and mounting the drainage pipe at the position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the field of utilizing containers, there is a water tank for collecting and storing rain falling on the roof of a building. Then, this water tank is generally manufactured by integrally molding with synthetic resin or the like. In addition, to collect rainwater,
There is a rainwater acquisition tool that cuts and removes a part of the drain pipe of the rain gutter and attaches it to that part.

[0003]

Since the integrally molded container (water tank) made of synthetic resin has the same shape regardless of whether water is stored or not, it requires the same space during transportation. Further, since this container is made of synthetic resin and is relatively heavy and unsuitable for transportation, a container that is lightweight and does not require a transportation space when water is not stored is desired. The present invention provides a container that meets such conditions. Further, since the rainwater acquisition tool to be attached to the drain pipe of the rain gutter is integrally formed of synthetic resin, the cost required for the mold is high and it is desired to manufacture it at low cost.

[0004]

A container according to claim 1 is constructed by using a net or a sheet on the bottom surface, including a core material on the front and back surfaces, and including a bent core material on the left and right side surfaces. Since each of the ridges is a container formed to be bendable and connected, it can be folded inward on the left and right side surfaces of the structure by including the bent core material, and becomes a flat shape when folded. By storing an inner bag formed of a watertight sheet body that can withstand bending, the container becomes a strong container and can carry water and the like. Further, in the container according to the second aspect, by putting an air bag in the inner bag, there is no space in the inner bag and the interior itself does not shake, so that the container can be prevented from being damaged.

According to the container of claim 3, by placing a filter on a filter lid that can be attached to the opening of the container, rainwater or the like in a filtered state can be easily put in the inner bag. Yes, you can easily replace the filter. Claim 4
The rainwater collecting tool of No. 1 has a rectangular sheet body 101 with bow-shaped sheets vertically slit at appropriate intervals,
The lower edge portion 1 of the tongue piece body 102 formed by a plurality of partial bodies 102a
Sew with 04. Then, by attaching the discharge pipe 103 to the discharge port 103a provided in the main body 101 in the upper part of the tongue body 102 and rolling the main body 101, the rainwater acquisition tool is completed. The rainwater collecting tool according to claim 5 is a tongue piece 10.
By attaching a flexible resin film water receiver on top of two, it is possible to prevent leakage from the slit and increase the discharge amount from the discharge pipe.

[0006]

1 is a development view of a foldable container 1. This container 1 is an open rectangular parallelepiped, and has a core material 13 on a front surface A and a back surface B, and bends on left and right side surfaces C and D. Core material 5
2 is included, and the bottom surface E is made of a synthetic resin bendable net body (or sheet body) 14. As shown in FIG. 1B, the core material 13 includes an upper plate 13 a and a lower plate 1.
A partition wall 13c is formed between the 3b to form an insertion hole 13d, and a member called so-called corrugated cardboard plastic which has a large section modulus and is strong and lightweight, and a lightweight veneer plate and the like are used.

A bent core member 52 is used so that the right side C and the left side of the container 1 facing each other can be bent at D. This bent core material 52 is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 (C), so-called corrugated cardboard plastic, and is in a state of leaving a thin lower plate (bent portion) 53a with a slight width corresponding to the folding position. Then, the cutting portion 53 is formed, and the bending member 52a and the bending member 5 are formed.
2b is formed to be bendable at the cutting portion 53.

If polypropylene is used for the corrugated cardboard plastic, even if the lower plate (bent portion) 53a is folded or returned a plurality of times,
It is desirable because it has a so-called hinge function of not cutting.
Further, in place of the cutting portion 53 having the above-mentioned structure, two corrugated cardboard plastics 52a and 52b, or two veneer boards are used as the bent core material 52, and the corrugated cardboard plastics or the veneer boards are joined (joint part) The width of the section) may be set, and both sides of the corrugated cardboard plastic or the veneer plate may be joined and formed by suturing or an adhesive to be bendable. That is, it is possible to fold it in two by forming two bags and constructing the corrugated plastics 52a, 52b and the like in the two bags. Further, in order to obtain a container having a heat insulating property, a sheet body for forming an air cap or a heat insulating material such as foamed polyethylene is arranged corresponding to the core material 13 (or the bent core material 52).

The container 1 is provided with the core material 13 on the front surface A and the back surface B, and the ridges (20a, 20e) to (20a ', 20e') are formed so as to be bendable at each ridge. )
In order to form a gap in. Further, bent core members 52 are arranged on the left and right side surfaces C and D, and an upper sheet 11a and a lower sheet 11 made of synthetic resin (polyethylene, polypropylene resin, etc.) are arranged.
It is sandwiched between the upper sheet 11a and the lower sheet 11b and the ridges (2) between the surfaces A and B, B and C, C and D, and D and A.
0a, 20e) to (20a ', 20e') are joined by stitching or heat sealing. At the same time, the net body (or sheet body) 14 on the bottom surface is joined by sewing or heat sealing to form a box shape (FIG. 2). A discharge port 25 for mounting a drain valve 89 described later is formed on the front face A, and a discharge port 25a corresponding to the discharge port 25 is also formed on the upper sheet 11a.

In addition, since the ridges of the container 1 are freely bendable and can be bent at the bent portions 5D on the left and right side surfaces C and D, the bent portions 5D are placed inside as shown in FIG. When folded in, the bottom surface E of the flexible material can also be folded inward, and this folded state has a flat rectangular shape in which the front surface A and the back surface B overlap each other, which is advantageous in that it is not bulky during transportation and storage. Also, the side C that folds inward,
In D, if both ends of the folding cut portion 53 are joined to the upper sheet 11a with ends such as a rubber band by stitching or an adhesive, the left and right side surfaces C and D are likely to be flat when forming a box shape. So desirable. The inner bag 8 will be described in detail later.
When the water is stored in 0, the container 1 swells due to the vibration. Therefore, in order to prevent the container 1 from being damaged, a band is formed around the front surface A, the back surface B, the right side surface C and the left side surface D of the container 1. It is desirable to wear it.

Further, the lid 85 attached to the container 1 is provided with an opening / closing lid 86 for a small window formed of transparent resin or the like, which enables an internal inspection, and the lid 85 is A so-called seat cover 87 for blocking sunlight is provided so as to prevent the influence on stored items and keep closed.
Equipped with Velcro (registered trademark) couplers 88a and 88b (see FIG. 4).

Next, FIG. 3 is a view showing a manufacturing process of the inner bag 80 to be installed in the container 1. The material for manufacturing the inner bag 80 is a water-tight sheet body which is bendable and can withstand bending. For example, it is sandwiched between a pair of synthetic resin sheets such as polyethylene with a wariff as a core.
In addition, as the material of the inner bag 80, this laminated material is preferable because it is tough and rich in flexibility, but other materials may be used. Then, the watertight sheet body is cut into the size of the unfolded inner bag 80, which is folded in two and overlapped to form the side surface 8.
0a and the bottom surface 80b are heat-sealed to form an open inner bag 8
0 is manufactured (FIG. 3 (A)). A hole 83 for attaching a drain valve 89, which will be described later, is formed on one side of the inner bag 80. Then, the bottom portion 80b of the inner bag 80 is folded in a so-called gusset shape to make the bottom portion 80b flat (FIG. 3 (B)). Then, both end portions 80 of the bottom portion 80b
When c is bent, a substantially square inner bag is formed (Fig. 3
(C)). The inner bag 80 is a bag that does not leak and has strength and flexibility, and does not leak or break even when water is stored.

The warrif is a high-strength polyethylene film that has been sufficiently stretched and strengthened, and is made by splitting fine fibers into split fibers, which are continuously heat-sealed in the vertical and horizontal directions. The gap (water droplets) is open and there is no elasticity. Then, by forming the inner bag 80 with a sheet body sandwiching synthetic resin sheets such as polyethylene which prevent water from permeating on both sides of this wariph, a bag having flexibility and no leakage is produced. However, it is needless to say that it may be made of other materials.

Further, the opening 80d of the inner bag 80 is attached via a closing cord 81 so that the opening 80d can be opened and closed. The inner bag 80 is stored in the container 1,
A drain valve 89 is attached to the discharge port 25 and the hole 83,
The water in the inner bag 80 can be discharged, and the inner bag 80 is housed and fixed in the container 1. The inner bag 80 may be taken out from the container 1 and stored without the drain valve 89.

Next, the method of using the container 1 and the inner bag 80 will be described. The seat cover 87 is opened, then the opening / closing lid 86 is opened, and then the opening of the inner bag 80 accommodated in the container 1 is opened. 80d is opened and water etc. are injected. When a predetermined amount of water enters the inner bag 80 that comes into close contact with the inner surface of the container 1, a thin air bag 90 is placed in the inner bag 8 according to the size of the opening 80d.
0, and the opening 8d is closed by the closing cord 81.
The air bag 90 is formed, for example, by putting a mat having an air cap in a bag and sealing the periphery by heat sealing.

Further, the air bag 90 contained in the inner bag 80 floats by buoyancy, and when the closing cord 81 closes the opening 8d, the surface of the contained water and the air bag 90 almost eliminate the space. Even if the container 1 vibrates during transportation, the water in the inner bag 80 hardly vibrates. Therefore, vibration pressure due to water is not applied to the container 1, and damage to the container 1 can be prevented. In addition, when the container 1 is in an empty state in which water is not stored in the inner bag 80, the container 1 is bent inward at the bent portion 5D on the side surfaces C and D, so that the front surface A and the back surface B are combined, and The flexible inner bag 80 is also flattened according to the folded state of the container 1, and the bottom surface E of the flexible material is also folded inward to have a rectangular flat shape, which is not bulky during transportation and storage. Also, the material of the container or inner bag is appropriately selected considering the application.

A structure for filtering impurities contained in rainwater into the container 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The filter lid 200 has a shape that can be placed over the opening 70 at the top of the container 1 that is foldable and in use, and is made of the same material as the container 1. In addition, this filtration lid 20
A wire net 201 (or a mesh-shaped resin sheet or the like) through which water can easily pass is stretched on the upper surface of 0, and a filter body 202 made of paper or synthetic resin is mounted on the filter lid 200. Place and filter.

The method of using the filtration lid 200 and the filtration body 202 is as follows. First, after inserting the inner bag 80 into the container 1 to open it, the filtration lid 200 is put on the opening 70, and the filtration is performed on it. The overbody 202 is placed and the lid 85 is covered. In addition, this filtration lid 20
Even if a heavy object (rainwater) is placed on 0, it can be supported because the side portion 200a is formed. And the opening / closing lid 86 for small windows
Open it and pour rainwater with a hose etc.
After being filtered by the filter body 202, water is passed from the filter lid 200 into the inner bag 80, and the filtered water is stored in the inner bag 80. Since the filter body 202 is placed on the filter lid 200, it is possible to stack a plurality of filter bodies 202 according to the filter state, or to clean them. When the filtration is insufficient, it can be easily replaced.

Resin sheet body 101,
The tongue piece body 102 and the discharge pipe 103 are formed by cutting a bow-shaped synthetic resin sheet into slits 108 at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction to form a plurality of partial bodies 102a.

Next, the manufacturing process of the rainwater collecting tool 100 will be described. First, the tongue piece 102 is placed on the back side of the main body 101 of the synthetic resin sheet, and the lower edge portion 104 of the tongue piece 102 is placed at the top. The lower part is sewn so as to fit directly under the discharge port 103a.
In order to prevent leakage from the tongue piece 102, a water receiver 220 made of a flexible synthetic resin film having substantially the same shape as that of the tongue piece body 102 is sewn so as to overlap the tongue piece body 102. This water receiver 220
With this, leakage from the slit 108 is prevented, and the discharge amount from the discharge pipe 103 can be further increased. The water receiver 220 may be above or below the tongue piece 102. Next, the upper contact member 105a made of a synthetic resin and slightly protruding is provided with a cut drain pipe 120 which will be described in detail later.
Sewn at the top of the tongue body 102 to abut the lower end of the. On the other hand, the lower abutment body 105b made of a synthetic resin and slightly protruding is brought into contact with the upper end portion of the cut drain pipe 120, so that the lower abutment body 105b is sewn together at the lower portion of the tongue piece body 102. When the rainwater acquisition tool 100 is attached to the drain pipe 120, the contact bodies 105a and 105b prevent vertical movement.

The discharge pipe 103 is provided with a discharge port 103a formed in the main body 101 located upstream of the tongue piece 102.

It can be attached by sewing work without leaking from the discharge port 103a.
The discharge pipe 103 may be directly bonded to the main body 101 with an adhesive or the like without the aid of the auxiliary tool 110. At this time, it is preferable to join the distal end portion of the discharge pipe 103 via a flange.

Next, the concavo-convex joint (so-called velcro tape body) is formed on the front and back ends of the main body 101.
Attach 115a and 115b by sewing. Then, when the combined bodies 115a and 115b are joined together, the back surface side of the main body 101 becomes an inner cylindrical rainwater acquisition tool 100, and the partial bodies 102a of the tongue piece body 102 are mutually connected as shown in FIG. 5 (B). They overlap and serve as a saucer for rainwater. Further, since the tongue piece body 102 is formed to be inclined downward toward the discharge port 103a, rainwater can be smoothly discharged to the discharge port 103a. As described above, the rainwater acquisition tool 100 can be easily manufactured by sewing using a synthetic resin sheet or the like instead of the conventionally integrally molded synthetic resin. That is, since the production by sewing can be made without using a mold,
Even a small number of products can be manufactured at low cost.
