HOUSING STRUCTURE AND ARTICLE USING THE SAME

To allow even one carrying person to safely and easily tilt a housing to ride over a step without lifting up the housing when riding over a step that cannot be ridden over by movable support means, at the time of carrying an article composed of a housing structure having the movable support tools on the bottom.SOLUTION: A housing structure includes: a housing 1 which has a top 1a and a bottom 1b, and in which at least a side section 1c is surrounded by flat surfaces; a plurality of movable support means 2 which are provided on the bottom 1b of the housing 1 to support the housing 1 via movable wheels 2a; grip means 3 which is provided on the top 1a of the housing 1 or on an upper half part of the side section 1c to be able to be held by a hand of an operator when tilting the housing 1; and foothold means 4 which is provided between two movable support means 2 located on the opposite side to a traveling direction of the housing 1 in the bottom 1b of the housing 1, and allows the worker to hook a foot thereon when tiling the housing 1. The foothold means 4 is disposed on the side toward the traveling direction of the housing 1 with respect to a center position Q of a diameter of the wheels 2a of the two movable support means 2 as a boundary.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】底部に可動支持手段を有する筐体構造からなる物品を運搬するに当たり、可動支持手段では越えられない段差を越える場合に、筐体を持ち上げることなく、運搬者一人でも筐体を安全且つ簡単に傾けて段差を越える。【解決手段】頂部１ａ及び底部１ｂを有し、少なくとも側部１ｃが平面で囲まれた筐体１と、筐体１の底部１ｂに複数設けられ、筐体１を移動可能な車輪２ａを介して支持する可動支持手段２と、筐体１の頂部１ａ又は側部１ｃ上半部に設けられ、筐体１を傾斜させるときに作業者の手で把持可能な把持手段３と、筐体１の底部１ｂのうち、筐体１の進行方向の反対側に位置する二つの可動支持手段２間に設けられ、筐体１を傾斜させるときに作業者の足が引っ掛け可能な足掛け手段４と、を備え、足掛け手段４が、二つの可動支持手段２の車輪２ａ径の中心位置Ｑを境として筐体１の進行方向側に配置されている。【選択図】図１
