Description

  The present invention relates to an article carrying box for storing and carrying various articles including electronic devices.

  When shipping an article from the manufacturer's production line, or when requesting repair or maintenance of an article to the manufacturer or the repair center of the manufacturer, when returning the article from the manufacturer to the user after the repair or maintenance is completed, The shipping box is required to have a structure that can sufficiently protect the shock and vibration that may be received during the transportation of the article and that can carry out the packing operation of the article easily and efficiently.

  In order to meet such various demands, an article carrying box using a combination of a packing tool and an outer box has been developed (see Patent Document 1). The packaging tool described in Patent Document 1 is composed of a base board and a restraining sheet. The base board is a rectangular plate for packing articles to be transported, and is a standing plate defined by folding lines attached to the plate surface. It has a downward part and a rising part on both sides and both ends of the base board. The restraining sheet is a synthetic resin sheet having elasticity like a urethane sheet and rich in elasticity, and is glued to the falling portions on both sides of the base board.

When packing an article using this packing tool, the article is mounted on the surface of the base board of the packing tool, the surface is covered with a sheet, the falling portions on both side edges of the base board are folded downward at a right angle, and Bending in the horizontal direction creates a buffer space below the base board and presses the article against the base board to hold it in place, and then raises the rising parts at both ends of the base board to keep the shape as it is Then, the packing of the article can be completed by accommodating the inside of the outer box and supporting the upper edge of the compatible rising portion with the upper lid of the outer box to hold the packing tool in a fixed position.
Incidentally, Patent Document 2 describes a packaging device having a simple structure that does not secure a buffer space below the base board.

  By the way, when packing an article using the above-mentioned article carrying box, there is no special problem if the article is a flat article having a low height such as a notebook computer. In the case of an article that is higher than the height of the rising part, the top lid of the outer box cannot be closed. Therefore, in order to secure a receiving space for the article, the outer box with a different specification is matched with the height. There arises a problem that a combination with the packaging tool must be prepared separately, and the combination of the outer box and the packaging tool must be properly used according to the height of the article to be packed.

  Such a problem is not limited to the case where the height of the article to be stored in the outer box is higher than the height of the rising portion of the packing tool. Even if the height of the article is lower than the height of the rising part of the packaging tool, if the outer box falls during transportation or falls, and the strong impact is applied to the restraining sheet, the restraining sheet will become elastic. Therefore, there is a possibility that an article having a large weight will jump up in the outer box against the pressing force of the restraining sheet and collide with the top surface of the outer box to damage the article. Therefore, in order to prepare for such a situation, it is possible to accept an article of a certain height above the stored article in anticipation of the displacement of the article and secure a space necessary for preventing a collision with the top surface with a margin. It is necessary to keep it.

Patent No. 4429192 US Patent Publication No. US2006 / 0213803 A1 Japanese Patent No. 4801691

  The problem to be solved is that when packing an article using the combination of the packing tool and the outer box described in Patent Document 1, the height of the article to be packed is the height of the rising portion of the packing tool. If there is a risk that the item will jump up in the outer box against the pressing force of the restraining sheet and may collide with the top surface of the outer box, It is a point that it must respond by using the combination with the outer box of another specification of the height corresponding to this.

  The present invention is to pack various articles using a combination of a packaging tool having a constant rising height regardless of the height of the article and a separate specification outer box having a high wall rising height. It is possible.

  That is, in an article carrying box consisting of a packing tool and an outer box, a stopper is overhanged in an outer box of a different specification with a high rising height of the wall surface, and the upper edge of the rising part of the packing tool is pressed with the stopper to remove the packing tool. The main feature is that a space is maintained in a fixed position, and a space is provided in the outer box so as to allow an article to be received at a position higher than the stopper, including displacement due to the jumping of the article.

  According to the present invention, when packing an article having a low height, an outer box without a stopper is used, and a tall outer box with a stopper is used for packing a tall article or an article expected to have a large jump. By using the outer box separately, it is possible to efficiently and easily carry out the packing operation of the article while ensuring the receiving space for the article including the displacement of the article above the stopper.

(1) Configuration of Article Carrying Box In FIG. 3, the article carrying box according to the present invention is a combination of a packing tool 2 and an outer box 3. The packing tool 2 packs the article 1 to be accommodated in the outer box 3 as an interior body that also serves as a cushioning material.

(2) Structure of packing tool The packing tool 2 has a set of a base board 6 and a restraining sheet 7 as shown in FIG. 1, and holds the article 1 as shown in FIGS. This is housed in the outer box 3 in the manner shown in FIG. The article 1 to be packed is, for example, a flat article such as a notebook personal computer, tall equipment, an article having a protrusion on a part thereof, or the like.

(2-1) Baseboard Structure In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the baseboard 6 of the packing tool 2 supports the article 1 on the upper surface of the plate, and both front and rear sides of the central article mounting area Z. It has falling portions 11 and 11 at the edge, and rising portions 12 and 12 at both ends.

  The falling portion 11 and the rising portion 12 are portions that extend from both side edges and both end edges of the article mounting region Z of the base board 6 that has a rectangular shape.

  The falling portion 11 is composed of a leg portion 9 and a bottom portion 10 ahead of the leg portion 9. The leg portion 9 is a portion orthogonal to the plate surface of the base board 6, and the bottom portion 10 is parallel to the base board 6. It is the part that is bent. The center portion of the leg portion 9 is wide, both ends are triangular, and the sharp tip of the triangular portion 8 is connected to the rising portion 12.

  In the figure, reference numerals 14a and 14b denote folding curves that define the leg portion 9 and the bottom portion 10, and reference numeral 14 denotes a folding curve that extends from the junction of both folding curves 14a and 14b to the edge of the rising portion 12. . The triangular portions 8 at both ends of the leg portion 9 are formed by joining the folding lines 14a and 14b. At the same time, the base portion of the rising portion 12 is formed with downward inclined portions 5 projecting on both sides. .

  The rising portion 12 is a portion that turns upward from a downwardly inclined portion 5 formed at both end edges of the base board 6. If the polygonal opening 4 having each folding curve as a vertex is provided at the junction of both folding curves 14a and 14b, the rising portion 12 can be easily bent. In the figure, reference numerals 13a and 13b denote folding curves that form the downwardly inclined portion 5 and the rising portion 12. When the falling portion 11 is folded downward from the base board 6 and the rising portion 12 is folded upward, the triangular portions 8 at both ends of the leg portion 9 project to both sides as shown in FIG. Part.

  A corner portion of the base board 6 defined by the folding lines 14 and 13 a is a shape retaining portion 16. In this example, the outer end of the shape retaining portion 16 is cut off obliquely, but it may be a square shape, and the shape of the shape retaining portion 16 does not matter. As will be described later, the shape retaining portion 16 is applied to the outer surface of the rising portion 12 and serves as a portion that supports the falling portion 11 in a fixed form.

(2-2) Characteristics of restraining sheet The restraining sheet 7 is a sheet in which both ends are folded back to the back surface of the base board 6 and fixed to its left and right side edges (edges of the falling portion) as shown in FIG. It is.

  By using a sheet having elasticity and stretchability as the restraining sheet 7, impact and pressure such as flexibility and plasticity can be absorbed and avoided. Styrene plastic elastomers such as natural rubber, SEBS, SIP, etc., polyester thermoplastic elastomers, polyurethane thermoplastic elastomers, polyamide thermoplastic elastomers, ethylene monoacetate copolymers, polyolefins and olefins of single site catalysts and mitarocene catalysts A resin film such as an elastomer can be used, and can be selectively used depending on the purpose and application. In consideration of the environment, recyclability, hygiene, cosmetics, etc., it is preferable to use a transparent film made of a polyurethane-based thermoplastic resin as a raw material.

  However, by using a sheet having elasticity and elasticity for the restraining sheet 7, the article may jump up while being covered with the restraining sheet 7 when a strong impact is applied to the outer box. It is necessary to secure a space for receiving not only a tall article but also a displacement caused by the article jumping up.

(3) Configuration of outer box The outer box 3 is a so-called cardboard box. FIG. 3 shows a rectangular box with a bottom. In order to form the top surface 20, the opening edge on the short side has a pair of inner upper lids 20a, and the opening edge on the long side has a pair of outer upper lids 20b. When the top surface 20 of the outer box 3 is closed, first, the inner upper lid 20a is closed, and then the outer upper lid 20b is closed from above, so that the outer box 3 is further sealed to adhere between the outer upper lids 20b and 20b. Sealing the top surface 19 by applying the tape 19 is the same as the procedure for sealing a normal cardboard box.

In FIG. 5 (a), 4 sidewall surface 18 of the outer box 3 for use in the present invention have a constant rising height h _0. The rising height h ₀ of the wall surface 18 is set to be higher than the height h ₁ of the rising portion of the packing tool 2 raised upward from both edges of the base board, and a stopper 17 is provided on a part of the wall surface corresponding to the height h _1. Is provided. The stopper 17 projects into the outer box 3 to support the upper edge of the rising portion 12 of the packing tool 2, expects the displacement of the article 1 above the rising portion 12, and secures an acceptable space for the article 1 for packing. The tool 2 is held at a fixed position in the outer box 3.

For comparison, a conventional outer box 30 described in Patent Document 1 is shown in FIG. The height of the conventional outer box 30 is set to the height h ₁ of the rising part 12 of the packing tool 2 in consideration of the displacement due to the jumping of the article, and the packing tool 2 is held by pressing the upper edge of the rising part 12 with the top surface 20. It was held in place.

(4) Structure of the stopper In the present invention, the stopper 17 is formed on a part of the wall surface 18 and protrudes into the outer box 3 so that the upper edge of the rising portion 12 of the packing tool 2 is pressed to hold the packing tool 2. An article receiving space S (height h ₀ -h ₁ ) that is held at a fixed position in the outer box 3 and is expected to be displaced by the jumping of the article 1 in the outer box 3 above the rising portion 12 of the packing tool 2. Is ensured.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the stopper 17 is formed on a part of the outer box 3 so as to be connected to the opposing wall surface 18 of the outer box 3 and the top surface 20 (inner upper lid 20a). The arm portion 17a is a portion that projects horizontally in the outer box 3 to support the upper edge of the rising portion 12 of the packing tool 2, and the hanging portion 17b is formed in the outer box 3. The tip of the arm portion 17a that projects overhangs, and the arm portion 17a is held in a horizontal posture.

  Specifically, the stopper 17 cuts a part of the plate surface in parallel with a certain interval across the wall surface 18 of the outer box 3 and the top surface 20 (inner upper lid 20a) connected to the wall surface 18. The arm portion 17a is bent at a right angle from the wall surface 18 and protrudes into the outer box 3 to support the upper edge of the rising portion 12 of the packing tool 2, and the hanging portion 17b It is bent at a right angle from the inner upper lid 20a) and protrudes into the outer box 3 to support the tip of the arm portion 17a.

  The length of the hanging portion 17b is set according to the height of the rising portion 12 of the packing tool 2, and the length of the arm portion 17a is set to the same length as the length of the hanging portion 17b. The protruding position of the stopper 17 is formed to protrude into the outer box 3 at a height determined by the length of the arm portion 17a and the hanging portion 17b.

(5) Procedure for packing an article into an outer box using a packing tool (5-1) Packing an article with a packing tool The procedure for packing an article into an outer box using a packing tool is as follows. In FIG. 1 (b), first, the compatible descending portions 11, 11 of the packing tool 2 are first slightly warped upward to open between the base board 6 and the restraining sheet 7, and the rising portion as shown in FIG. 1 (a). The article 1 is inserted between the base board 6 opened from the surface side to be 12 and the holding sheet 7. FIG. 2A shows a state in which the article 1 is inserted between the base board 6 and the restraining sheet 7.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the compatible descending portion 11 is bent downward along the folding lines 14a and 14b against the tension of the restraining sheet 7. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2C, the falling portion 11 has the leg portion 9 bent at a right angle with respect to the base board 6 and the bottom portion 10 bent in parallel with the base board 6 so as to retain the shape retaining portion. 16 is superimposed on the back surface of the rising portion 12. The triangular portions 8 at both ends of the leg portion 9 are projected on both sides, whereby the restraining sheet 7 is pulled and tensioned by the falling portion 11 and is bent at a right angle at the leg portion 9.

  Next, in FIG. 2D, when the rising portion 12 is folded upward from both side edges of the base board 6, the shape retaining portion 16 remains applied to the outer surface of the rising portion 12 by the folding of the rising portion 12. 12 so that the shape retaining portion 16 maintains its standing posture as long as the rising portion 12 is grasped by hand, and the leg portion 9 of the falling portion 11 is held at a right angle with respect to the base board 6. The bottom portion 10 is held in a parallel posture. By holding the compatible ascending portions 12 and 12 of the packing tool 2 in the standing posture, when accommodated in the outer box 3, it is bent by the downwardly inclined portion 5 of the base of the rising portion 12, and the leg portion 9 on the falling portion 11 side. The article 1 is bent at a right angle so that the article 1 is not laterally displaced and is crimped to a fixed position on the base board 6.

(5-2) How to Store Packing Tool in Outer Box When it is known that the article 1 to be packed is a thin article such as a notebook personal computer or a short article, FIG. ), The outer box 30 having the rising portion 12 having the same height as the wall surface is selected, and the packing tool 2 enclosing the article 1 is placed in the outer box 30 as it is, and the top surface 20 is closed (inner top cover). When the outer case 30 is closed), the outer box 30 is covered, and the adhesive tape 19 is applied between the outer upper lids 20b, 20b on both sides to seal the outer upper lids 20b, 20b. The compatible rising portions 12 and 12 of the tool 2 are held on the lower surface of the inner upper lid 20a in a standing posture, and the packing tool 2 is supported at a fixed position to complete the packing.

However, in the case of an article in which the height of the article 1 is high or a part of the article 1 has a protrusion and the height of the article 1 is higher than the height of the rising part 12 where the packing tool stands, FIG. ) Cannot be accommodated in the outer box 30 shown in FIG. An outer box with a stopper is used for packing such articles. Outer box 3 with the stopper is set to 5 height the height of four circumferential wall surface height h ₀ even higher than h ₁ of the rising portion 12 of the packing implement as (a), up to h ₁ The article 1 having a height can be stored.

In FIG. 3A, the article 1 is packed in the packing tool 2, and the packing tool 2 is put in the outer box 3 in a posture in which the rising portions 12 and 12 at both ends are raised. First, as shown in FIG. The upper lid 20a is closed, and the top surface is closed by overlapping the outer upper lid 20b thereon as shown in FIG.
This is not limited to an article having a high height of the article 1 or having a protruding part in a part of the article 1 and having a height higher than the height of the rising portion 12 of the packing tool.

  Even if the height of the article 1 is high or the height of the protrusion of the article 1 is equal to or less than the height of the rising portion 12 where the packing tool 2 stands, the displacement rises when the article jumps up due to impact. When the height of the portion 12 is exceeded, it is necessary to secure a receiving space for an article that allows for the displacement.

(5-3) Stopper operation in the present invention In the present invention, the stopper 17 includes the opposing wall surfaces 18 and 18 of the outer case 3 and the top surface 20 (inner upper lid) connected to both walls as shown in FIG. 20a) is formed by cutting a part of the plate surface in parallel with a predetermined interval across the plate surface, so that the top surface is pushed while pushing a part of the wall surface as a stopper as shown in FIG. If the 20 (inner upper lid 20a) is bent toward the opening of the outer box 3, the arm portion 17a of the stopper 17 is naturally bent at a right angle to the side wall surface and projects into the outer box 3.

  On the other hand, the suspending portion 17b is bent at a right angle from the inner upper lid 20a as shown in FIG. 4C and projects downward into the outer box 3 to support the tip of the arm portion 17a, and is suspended from the arm portion 17a of the stopper 17. The portion 17b becomes L-shaped, and the arm portion 17a can press the upper edge of the rising portion 12 to stably support the packing tool 2.

  Further, by extending the stopper 17 into the outer box 3, a hole is formed as shown in FIG. 3C across a part of the wall surface 18 of the outer box 3 and a part of the top surface 20 (inner upper lid 20a). However, since the upper surface of the inner upper lid 20a is blocked by the outer upper lid 20b and the holes opened in the both side wall surfaces 18 are blocked by the adhesive tape 19, no particular problem occurs.

  According to the present invention, according to the height of the height of the article to be packed, an article having different heights by using a high outer box with a stopper and a lower outer box without a stopper depending on the height, Even if it is low, it is possible to efficiently pack an article such as an article that is expected to greatly jump when subjected to an impact. In addition, although the example which utilizes the rising part of a packing tool for a storage case is described in patent document 3, even if this invention uses the packing tool which uses a rising part for a storage case, it applies without a problem. be able to.
