Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a cushioning material to a packaging box containing accessory parts and the like in electronic equipment such as a video tape recorder.

B. Prior Art Electronic devices such as video tape recorders use cushioning materials as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 during transportation. In the figure, 1 is a video tape recorder (VTR), 2 is a cushioning material, and 3 is a packaging box containing accessory parts such as connection cables and connectors.

In the example shown in Figure 1, the packaging box 3 is replaced with left and right cushioning materials 2, 2.
It is sandwiched between the two and placed in a cardboard packaging box 4. In this case, since the packaging box 3 is not engaged with the cushioning material, there is a drawback that the packaging box 3 easily comes off. When putting it into the packaging box 4, it is necessary to forcefully press or support the left and right cushioning materials 3, 3 against the VTR side.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the cushioning material 2'a is made larger than the cushioning material 2'b, a groove 5 is provided, and a packaging box is inserted into the groove. In this case, a groove 5 is provided and a portion 6 is provided.
Since the packaging box 3' is supported by the cushioning material 2'A, the dimensions of the cushioning material 2'A inevitably become large, which naturally requires a larger packaging box, leading to increased transportation costs and material costs.

C. Purpose of the invention The present invention has been devised in view of the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional examples, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a structure for attaching a cushioning material and a packaging box that is advantageous in terms of cost and packaging work.

D. Structure of the invention In the present invention, the cushioning material 7 has a recess 9 on the outside and a notch 10 continuous to the recess, and the packaging box 8 consists of a main body 8a that fits into the recess and a locking piece 8b. The packaging box is attached to the cushioning material by inserting the packaging box into the notch.

E. Example An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the device installed on a VTR, and FIG. 3B is a plan view.

In the figure, 1 is a VTR, 7a and 7b are cushioning materials made of styrofoam, etc., and 8 is a packaging box. The packaging box 8 includes a main body 8a in which accessories are stored,
It consists of locking pieces 8b, 8b inserted into the cushioning material.
The cushioning material 7a has a recess 9 into which the packaging box body 8a fits.
and the locking pieces 8b, 8 are continuous with the recessed portion.
A notch 10 into which the item b is inserted is provided on the outside (the side that does not fit with the VTR). Although not clearly shown in the drawings, a recess into which the side end of the VTR fits is naturally provided inside the cushioning materials 7a and 7b.

The VTR 1 and the buffer material 7 are usually engaged by press-fitting the side end of the VTR into a recess (for receiving the VTR) in the buffer material 7. In this case, there is a risk that the cushioning material may easily come off. The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 takes this point into consideration.

That is, the recess 1 of the cushioning material 7' that receives the VTR 1
1 has a tapered or rounded convex portion 11a and a groove 11b formed by the convex portion. On the other hand, a ridge-like protrusion 1a is provided at the side end of the VTR 1, and the groove 11b and the protrusion 1 of the VTR
The cushioning material 7' can be securely attached to the VTR 1 by the engagement of the cushioning material 7' with the VTR 1. In addition to the configuration in which the convex portion 1a is provided on the VTR 1 as shown in the figure,
It is also conceivable that the groove 11b engages with a portion of the VTR 1 that becomes a foot.

As is clear from the plan view of FIG. 3B, the cushioning material 7a and the packaging box 8 are flush with each other. That is, since there is no supporting portion as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to reduce the size of the packaging box 4. By inserting the locking piece 8b into the notch 10, there is no fear that the packaging box 8 will come off.

The packaging box 8 is made of cardboard, and as mentioned above, the packaging box 8 is made of cardboard.
Accessory parts such as connection cords and other accessories are stored therein, and a developed view thereof is shown in FIG. The one-dot chain line indicates the bent portion. Such a packaging box is the first
It is also possible to apply to the conventional example shown in the figure. In that case, notches are provided in the left and right cushioning materials 2, 2, and locking pieces are provided in the packaging box 3. Inserting the locking piece into the notch eliminates the tendency for the packaging box to come off in the conventional example as shown in FIG. In that case, the packaging box is fitted into the recess formed by the left and right cushioning materials.

F. Effects of the invention In this invention, the packaging box is attached to the cushioning material by inserting the locking piece of the packaging box into the notch in the cushioning material, so there is no need for extra support as in the conventional case. Therefore, it is possible to realize a structure for attaching the cushioning material and the packaging box that is advantageous in terms of packaging work and cost.
