[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage box for storing sheet-like members. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, disposable medical aprons, gloves, sheets, etc. have been widely used in medical settings to prevent medical personnel from being infected with pathogens and the like. Disposable medical aprons are thin, sheet-like components made of resin, and are known to be provided in a state where they are folded individually, stacked together, or otherwise stored in a box. Also known are aprons that are provided in a state where multiple aprons are stacked on a backing or the like, folded accordion-like, and stored in a box (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3222961 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] While individually folded aprons are easy to take out of the box one by one, there is a problem in that workers at the manufacturing plant have to fold each apron by hand and store them in the box, which increases production costs and raises prices. As shown in Patent Document 1, a method of reducing costs is also known in which multiple cut aprons are stacked on a backing sheet, folded together with the backing sheet, and stored in a box. However, in this case, multiple aprons are often taken out at once when removing them from the opening of the box, making it difficult to remove them one by one.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a storage box from which sheet-like members such as medical aprons can be easily taken out one by one. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, etc. Note that the drawings shown below, including Fig. 1, are schematic diagrams, and the size and shape of each part are appropriately exaggerated to facilitate understanding. The numerical values ​​such as dimensions of each component and the names of materials described in this specification are examples of embodiments, and are not limited to these, and may be selected and used as appropriate.

[0017] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a storage box 1 for a medical apron 30 according to the first embodiment is opened. Fig. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a cross section of the storage box 1 of the first embodiment. Fig. 2 shows a cross section parallel to the width direction (d2 direction) and height direction (d3 direction) of the storage box 1 shown in Fig. 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the unopened state of the storage box 1 for the medical apron 30 of the first embodiment. 1 etc., for ease of understanding, the long side direction of the top surface 11 of the storage box 1 is defined as the longitudinal direction (d1 direction), the short side direction of the top surface 11 is defined as the width direction (d2 direction), and the height direction of the storage box 1 is defined as the height direction (d3 direction). The d1 direction, d2 direction, and d3 direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0018] The storage box 1 of this embodiment is a box for storing a stack 30A of medical aprons 30, which are sheet-like members. The storage box 1 has a rectangular or cubic shape, and has an opening 18 on the top surface 11 when opened. A protrusion T protrudes upward from this opening 18. In this embodiment, the storage box 1 will be described taking an example in which it has a rectangular shape. In this specification, a "leaf-like member" is a flexible member that is cut into pieces and is not continuous, unlike a roll, and is not limited to a sheet-like or film-like member, but also includes, for example, a bag-like member that can be used to place an object inside and has a three-dimensional shape, but which has a thin, flat shape before use and can be handled as a sheet-like member.

[0019] The protrusion T has a mountain portion (second mountain portion Y2) having a fold formed by folding the backing sheet 20 (described later) and the laminate 30A folded convexly along the fold, and protrudes toward the opening 18. The surface of the protrusion T is covered with a covering portion 23 (pressing portion 25) which is part of the backing sheet 20. The covering portion 23 has a removal opening 26 formed therein for removing the apron 30, and part of the laminate 30A of the apron 30 is exposed at the removal opening 26.

[0020] A user of the apron 30 pinches both sides of the stack 30A of the protruding portions T with his / her fingers at the opening 26 and pulls out the apron 30. This allows the user to pull out the aprons 30 one by one from the storage box 1. The shape of this storage box 1 will be described below.

[0021] The storage box 1 has an outer box 10 and a backing board 20. The outer box 10 may be formed using cardboard, cardboard, Kent paper, coated paper, coated cardboard, etc., or may be formed using a resin sheet-like or film-like member. The outer box 10 can be produced, for example, by appropriately assembling a paper template (blank) 10A as shown in FIG. 4, which will be described later. The outer box 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped or cubic shape and has a top surface 11, a front surface 12, a back surface 13, side surfaces 14 and 15, and a bottom surface 16. In this embodiment, the outer box 10 will be described taking an example in which it has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0022] Two planned opening lines 17a, 17b are formed on the top surface 11 of the outer box 10, extending in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) and spaced a predetermined distance apart in the width direction (d2 direction), and a planned opening portion 17 is provided between the two planned opening lines 17a, 17b. The planned opening lines 17a, 17b are L-shaped slits arranged at a predetermined interval, and the planned opening portion 17 has a so-called zipper shape. By pulling one end of the planned opening portion 17 toward the other side along the longitudinal direction (d1 direction), the planned opening lines 17a, 17b are broken, the box is opened, and an opening 18 is formed.

[0023] Opening 18 is formed from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of top surface 11. The longitudinal dimension (d1 direction) of opening 18 is larger than the longitudinal dimension (d1 direction) of protrusion T, and the width (d2 direction dimension) of opening 18 is larger than the width (d2 direction dimension) of protrusion T. Therefore, protrusion T protruding from opening 18 can be configured not to contact the edge of opening 18. The present invention is not limited to the above example, and may be configured such that one surface of the protrusion T contacts one edge of the opening 18 in the width direction (d2 direction).

[0024] In this embodiment, an example has been shown in which the intended opening portion 17 is in the shape of a so-called zipper, but this is not limited to this. For example, the intended opening lines 17a, 17b may be dotted slits or half cuts, etc., and the user may remove the intended opening portion 17 by, for example, pressing the intended opening portion 17 with a finger to break the intended opening lines 17a, 17b.

[0025] FIG. 4 is a development view of the outer box 10 of the first embodiment. The outer box 10 is formed by assembling a paper pattern (blank) 10A as shown in Figure 4 and joining adhesive pieces as appropriate. In Figure 4, to facilitate understanding, the d4 direction and d5 direction, which are perpendicular to each other, are shown. The d4 direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of the storage box 1 (outer box 10). In Figure 4, fold lines 19a and 19b are shown by dashed lines. The top surface 11, the front surface 12, the bottom surface 16, and the back surface 13 are connected in one direction (direction d5) via folding lines 19a.

[0026] The top surface 11 is rectangular, with side flaps 144, 154 connecting to both ends in the d4 direction to form the side surfaces 14, 15. Insertion openings 148, 158 are provided at the connecting portions between the top surface 11 and the side flaps 144, 154, respectively. The top surface 11 is provided with an adhesive tab 111 on the side opposite the connecting portion with the front surface 12. The adhesive tab 111 is bonded to the rear surface of the back surface 13 during assembly with an adhesive or bonding agent (not shown). The side flaps 144, 154 are rectangular and include flaps 146, 156 on the side opposite the connection with the top surface 11, and adhesive strips 145, 155 on the side opposite the connection with the fold-in portions 121, 122. The adhesive strips 145, 155 are joined to the back sides of the fold-in portions 131, 132 during assembly.

[0027] The front surface 12 has a rectangular shape, with fold-in portions 121 and 122 connected to both ends in the d4 direction. The fold-in portions 121 and 122 are also connected to the side flaps 144 and 154, respectively. Insertion openings 147 and 157 are formed at the connection points between the fold-in portions 121 and 122 and the side flaps 144 and 154, and insertion openings 123 and 124 are formed at the connection points between the fold-in portions 121 and 122 and the front surface 12, respectively. The fold-in portions 121 and 122 have fold lines 19b formed therein.

[0028] The bottom surface 16 has a rectangular shape and faces the top surface 11. Side flaps 141 and 151 are connected to both ends of the bottom surface 16 in the longitudinal direction (direction d4) to form the side surfaces 14 and 15. The side flap 141 has insertion pieces 142 and 143, and the side flap 151 has insertion pieces 152 and 153. Insertion piece 142 is provided on the edge of side flap 141 on the front surface 12 side, and insertion piece 143 is formed on the edge of side flap 141 opposite to the bottom surface 16 side. Insertion piece 152 is provided on the edge of side flap 151 on the front surface 12 side, and insertion piece 153 is formed on the edge of side flap 151 opposite to the bottom surface 16 side.

[0029] When assembling outer box 10, folding line 19b of folding portion 121 is folded in a valley, and insertion piece 142 is inserted into insertion opening 147 and insertion opening 123. Furthermore, when assembling, folding line 19b of folding portion 122 is folded in a valley, and insertion piece 152 is inserted into insertion opening 157 and insertion opening 124. The insertion piece 143 is inserted into the insertion port 148 during assembly, and the insertion piece 153 is inserted into the insertion port 158 ​​during assembly.

[0030] The back surface 13 has a rectangular shape and is the surface opposite to the front surface 12. The back surface 13 has folded-in portions 131 and 132 connected to both ends in the longitudinal direction. When assembling the back surface 13, an adhesive tab 111 is joined to the back surface side. The shapes of the flaps, insertion pieces, insertion openings, etc. are not limited to those shown in FIG. 4 and may be changed as appropriate.

[0031] The top surface 11 on which the intended opening portion 17 is provided is generally a surface that is often used as a bottom surface, as indicated by the positions of the fold-in portions 121, 122, 131, and 132 in the blank 10A, but is used as the top surface 11 in this embodiment.

[0032] As with a normal box, in outer box 10, if the surface that is generally used as the top surface (the surface corresponding to bottom surface 16) is used as the top surface, forming an opening or the like from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction of the top surface to allow protrusion T to protrude will cause flaps 146, 156 to come into contact with the top surface, and therefore it will be necessary to cut out areas of flaps 146, 156 that correspond to the openings. However, cutting out parts of flaps 146, 156 reduces the strength of side surfaces 14, 15, and there is a risk that when the weight of stored items (backing sheet 20 and laminate 30A) is applied to side surfaces 14, 15, the side surfaces may break, causing the stored items to fly out.

[0033] In contrast, outer box 10 of this embodiment uses a surface that is generally used as the bottom surface as top surface 11, so that flaps 146, 156 can be provided without removing any part of it. This improves the strength of storage box 1, and prevents the contents from spilling out from the sides 14, 15 of outer box 10, even when the weight of the contents is applied to those sides. In addition, by forming an opening 18 from one longitudinal end to the other of the top surface 11 in this manner, when the apron 30 is removed from the removal opening 26 of the covering portion 23 of the convex portion T, the apron 30 and the covering portion 23 of the convex portion T do not come into contact with the outer box 10, thereby preventing damage to the outer box 10.

[0034] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the apron 30. Figure 5(a) is a plan view of the apron 30, Figure 5(b) is a plan view of the apron 30 in a state in which it is placed on a mount 20, which will be described later, and Figure 5(c) is a diagram schematically illustrating a cross section taken along arrow CC in Figure 5(b). The apron 30 is formed by cutting a thin sheet-like material made of resin such as polyethylene or PVC, or nonwoven fabric, and as shown in Figure 5(a), it has a neck strap portion 31, a body portion 32, and a string portion 33. As shown in Figure 5(b), the apron 30 is folded with the string parts 33 folded over the body part 32, and a plurality of aprons 30 (50 in this embodiment) in this state are stacked in the thickness direction to form a laminate 30A. At this time, as shown in Figures 5(b) and (c), both end parts 32a of the body part 32, which are extensions of the string parts 33, are placed on top of the body part 32 in a stacked state.

[0035] 6 and 7 are diagrams illustrating the mount 20 of the first embodiment. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the mount 20, and Fig. 7 shows a state in which an apron 30 is placed on the surface 20a of the mount 20. In this embodiment, as an example, 50 aprons 30 are placed on the mount 20 in the form of a stack 30A, but for ease of understanding, Fig. 7 shows a state in which only one apron 30 is placed on the surface 20a of the mount 20. The backing sheet 20 is a sheet- or plate-shaped paper member having a folding section 22 on one side (surface 20a in this embodiment) where at least one fold can be formed when the laminate 30A of aprons 30 is placed on the backing sheet 20. The type, thickness, basis weight, etc. of paper for the backing sheet 20 may be appropriately selected as long as the folding section 22, which will be described later, can be folded into an accordion-like shape when the laminate 30A is placed on the backing sheet 20. Note that the backing sheet 20 of this embodiment will be described using an example where it is formed using Kent paper.

[0036] The backing sheet 20 has a rectangular shape in a plan view. For ease of understanding, in Figures 6 and 7, the short side direction of the backing sheet 20 is designated as the d6 direction, and the long side direction is designated as the d7 direction. This d6 direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of the storage box 1. The two short sides of the backing sheet 20 are designated as 21a and 21b, respectively, the two long sides are designated as 21c and 21d, and the front surface is designated as 20a and the back surface is designated as 20b.

[0037] The dimension S4 of the backing board 20 in the short side direction (d6 direction) is smaller than the dimension S1 in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of the outer box 10 so that the backing board 20 can be stored in the outer box 10. In this embodiment, an example will be given in which the dimension S4 is equal to the width dimension of the apron 30 in the folded state shown in Figures 5(b) and (c), but the dimension S4 is not limited to this and may be larger or smaller than the width dimension of the apron 30 in the folded state shown in Figures 5(b) and (c).

[0038] Furthermore, the mount 20 has multiple faces connected via fold lines along its long side direction (d7 direction). In this embodiment, the mount 20 has 14 faces (first face M1 to fourteenth face M14) connected via fold lines L1 to L13 along the long side direction (d7 direction). In Figures 6 and 7, the fold lines L1 to L13 are indicated by dashed lines. These fold lines L1 to L13 can be folded in mountain folds or valley folds. The mount 20 has a folding portion 22 and a covering portion 23 .

[0039] The first surface M1 to the ninth surface M9 form the folding portion 22, which forms at least one fold. The folding portion 22 can be formed into a bellows-like structure by repeatedly folding valley folds and mountain folds along the fold lines L1 to L8. The laminated body 30A of the apron 30 is placed on the surface 20a of the folding portion 22. In this embodiment, the laminated body 30A is placed on the first surface M1 to the tenth surface M10, with the neck hanging portion 31 side of the apron 30 facing the first surface M1 and the hem side facing the tenth surface M10. However, the lower end of the hem of the apron 30 may extend up to the eleventh surface M11. The string portion 33 of the apron 30 is placed on the upper side of the body portion 32, facing the long side 21d, which is the lower end of the backing sheet 20.

[0040] The tenth surface M10 to the fourteenth surface M14 are covering portions 23 that cover at least one peak of the folding portion 22 in the accordion-folded state with the laminate 30A placed thereon. Of the covering portions 23, the eleventh surface M11 to the fourteenth surface M14 are pressing portions 25 that cover the laminate 30A at the protrusion T, and the tenth surface M10 is a fixing portion 24 that fixes the position of the covering portion 23 (particularly, pressing portion 25) in the state in which the folding portion 22 is covered.

[0041] In the folding section 22, the width W2, which is the dimension in the connecting direction (d7 direction), of the second surface M2 and the third surface M3 is larger than the widths (dimensions in the connecting direction (d7 direction)) of the other surfaces of the folding section 22 (the first surface M1, the fourth surface M4 to the ninth surface M9). In this embodiment, the widths (dimensions in the connecting direction (d7 direction)) of the first surface M1 and the fourth surface M4 to the eighth surface M8 are equal, W1. The width of the ninth surface M9 is W3, which is larger than the width W1 of the first surface M1, etc., but smaller than the width W2 of the second surface M2 and the third surface M3. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the first surface M1 and the fourth surface M4 to the eighth surface M8 have the same width (dimension in the connecting direction (d7 direction)), but this is not limited to this, and the widths may be individually different, or only one surface may have a different width.

[0042] The width W4 (dimension in the connecting direction (d7 direction)) of the tenth surface M10 of the covering portion 23 corresponds to the thickness of the folded portion 22 folded accordion-like with the laminate 30A of the apron 30 placed on it. Because the folded portion 22 is folded accordion-like with the laminate 30A placed on it, the width W4 of the tenth surface is designed taking into consideration the thickness of the laminate 30A of the apron 30. The width W4 of the tenth surface M10, which is the dimension in the connecting direction (d6 direction), is smaller than the widths W1 and W3, which are the dimensions in the connecting direction (d6 direction) of the first surface M1 to the ninth surface M9.

[0043] The holding portion 25 has an outlet 26 formed at the connecting portion between the twelfth surface M12 and the thirteenth surface M13. The removal opening 26 is formed at a position corresponding to the string part 33 in the short side direction (d6 direction) of the backing sheet 20, and in this embodiment, it is formed not in the center of the short side direction (d6 direction) of the backing sheet 20, but on the side where the string part 33 of the apron 30 is located (towards the long side 21d which is the bottom end of the backing sheet 20) from the center. Also, in this embodiment, the dimension of the removal opening 26 in the short side direction of the backing sheet 20 (dimension S8 shown in FIG. 6) corresponds to the width of the string part 33 of the apron 30 so that a user can grab the string part 33 and remove the apron 30. The pressing portions 25 located on both sides of the take-out opening 26 in the short side direction (d6 direction) of the mount 20 have the function of pressing the laminate 30A when the apron 30 is taken out.

[0044] When the folding portion 22 is folded in an accordion-like manner and the mountain portion is covered with the covering portion 23 (the state shown in FIG. 9(b) described later), the fold line L12 provided at the boundary between the twelfth surface M12 and the thirteenth surface M13 corresponds to the second mountain portion Y2 formed by mountain-folding the fold line L2, and the removal opening 26 is located on the second mountain portion Y2. In addition, the removal opening 26 corresponds to the string portion 33 of the apron 30 with respect to the laminated body 30A.

[0045] 8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating the procedure for storing the mount 20 and the apron 30 of the first embodiment in the storage box 1. In Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, some shapes and the like are shown in a simplified manner to facilitate understanding. First, the worker places the laminate 30A of the apron 30 on the backing sheet 20. At this time, as shown in Fig. 7, the neck loop 31 side is placed on the first surface M1 side, and the string part 33 side is placed on the body part 32 and on the long side 21d side, which is the bottom end of the backing sheet 20. 8(a), the worker folds the fold line L1 of the backing sheet 20 in a valley fold, forming the short side 21a on the first surface M1 side of the backing sheet 20 as the first mountain portion Y1. Note that, as shown in FIG. 7 above, a part of the layered product 30A of the apron 30 on the neck hanging portion 31 side may protrude from the backing sheet 20.

[0046] 8(b), the worker folds the folding line L2, which is located at the boundary between the second surface M2 and the third surface M3, to form a mountain fold, and the laminate 30A is folded along this mountain fold to form a second mountain portion Y2.

[0047] The worker alternately folds the fold lines L3 to L8 in a valley fold and a mountain fold. As a result, the first to fifth mountain portions Y1 to Y5 are formed, as shown in Fig. 8(c). The third mountain portion Y3 is formed by mountain folding the fold line L4 provided at the boundary between the fourth surface M4 and the fifth surface M5, the fourth mountain portion Y4 is formed by mountain folding the fold line L6 provided at the boundary between the sixth surface M6 and the seventh surface M7, and the fifth mountain portion Y5 is formed by mountain folding the fold line L8 provided at the boundary between the eighth surface M8 and the ninth surface M9. In addition, the fold line L3 between the third surface M3 and the fourth surface M4, the fold line L5 between the fifth surface M5 and the sixth surface M6, and the fold line L7 between the seventh surface M7 and the eighth surface M8 are all valley folded to form multiple valley portions.

[0048] Next, as shown in Fig. 8(d), the worker folds the fold line L9 provided at the boundary between the ninth surface M9 and the tenth surface M10 in a mountain fold to invert the covering portion 23. As a result, the tenth surface M10 covers the multiple valley portions. In this case, the width W3 of the ninth surface M9 is larger than the width W1 of the eighth surface M8, etc., so when the fold line L9 is mountain-folded, the tenth surface M10, which becomes the fixed portion 24, can cover the multiple valley portions formed by folding the fold line L7 in an accordion-like manner without coming into contact with the valley portions formed by valley-folding the fold line L7.

[0049] 9(a), the worker folds the tenth surface M10 along the fold line L10 provided at the boundary between the tenth surface M10 and the eleventh surface M11. As a result, the tenth surface M10 can fix the position of the covering portion 23 as the fixing portion 24, and the pressing portion 25 is overlapped so as to cover the back surface 20b side of the first surface M1 and the laminate 30A on the first peak Y1 to fifth peak Y5 and the ninth surface M9. Next, as shown in Figure 9(b), the worker folds the fold line L12 located at the boundary between the twelfth surface M12 and the thirteenth surface M13 to form a mountain fold, and then aligns this fold with the second mountain portion Y2 to form the convex portion T. Then, as shown in FIG. 9(c), the worker makes a valley fold along the fold line L11 of the backing sheet 20 and a mountain fold along the fold line L13, so that the convex portion T is laid down onto the eleventh surface M11.

[0050] Next, as shown in Fig. 9(d), the worker places the stack 30A of aprons 30 on the backing sheet 20, folds the folding portion 22 in an accordion-like manner so that the peaks are covered by the covering portion 23, and places the backing sheet 20 and stack 30A in the outer box 10. Fig. 9(d) shows the state in which the backing sheet 20 and stack 30A are stored in the outer box 10 as viewed from the side 14. When storing the backing sheet 20 and the laminate 30A in the outer box 10, the outer box 10 is first folded along the fold lines 19a and the like, and the adhesive strips are joined to form a box shape, with one side sealed and the other side open. An operator inserts the backing sheet 20 and the laminate 30A into the outer box 10 from the open side of the outer box 10 and stores them therein.

[0051] At this time, the worker places the backing sheet 20 and laminate 30A inside from the open side, for example, side 14, so that the protrusion T is positioned on the side corresponding to the intended opening portion 17 in the width direction (d2 direction), and then places the side flap 141 on top of the side flap 144 and inserts each insertion piece into the corresponding insertion opening to form and seal the side 14. This results in the storage box 1 in which the backing sheet 20 and apron 30 are stored in the unopened outer box 10, as shown in the above-mentioned Figure 3.

[0052] A user of the apron 30 holds one end of the intended opening portion 17 of the outer box 10 and pulls it toward the other end, thereby breaking the intended opening lines 17a and 17b and forming an opening 18. When the opening 18 is formed, the protrusion T and the pressing portion 25 that have been pressed against the top surface 11 protrude upward from the opening 18, as shown in FIG. A user of the apron 30 can pinch the surface of the laminate 30A facing the second surface M2 and the surface of the laminate 30A facing the third surface M3 with his or her fingers and pull out the apron 30 from the opening 26 of the covering portion 23 of the protruding convex portion T. This allows the user to take out the aprons 30 one by one from the storage box 1. Furthermore, even when the number of aprons 30 in the laminate 30A decreases due to use or the like, the user does not need to reach into the storage box 1 to remove the aprons 30 because the protrusions T protrude outward from the storage box 1 (outer box 10), making removal easy and quick. In particular, when medical aprons 30 or the like are stored as in this embodiment, there is no risk of the user reaching into the storage box 1 and soiling the unused aprons 30, thereby improving hygiene.

[0053] Furthermore, the opening 26 is formed at a position corresponding to the strings 33 of the apron 30, and the strings 33 of the apron 30 are exposed at the opening 26, so that when removing the apron 30, the user can grasp the strings 33 of the apron 30 with their fingers and pull it out. Therefore, when the user pulls the apron 30 out of the storage box 1, the user can easily know which part of the apron 30 they are grasping with their fingers, and can find the neck strap 31 and the strings 33 without touching the body part 32, allowing them to put on the apron quickly.

[0054] Furthermore, in the direction of the short side of the backing sheet 20, the dimension S8 of the outlet 26 is smaller than the dimension S4 of the retaining portions 25, and the retaining portions 25 are sufficiently provided on both sides of the outlet 26. Therefore, when removing an apron 30, both sides of the outlet 26 can be held down by the retaining portions 25, preventing multiple aprons 30 from being removed at once, and allowing the user to quickly and easily remove aprons 30 one by one.

[0055] In addition, in the past, in cases of emergency, etc., aprons and other items would be pulled out of the storage box with great force, causing problems such as the aprons hitting the edge of the opening and damaging the opening. Because the storage box is made of paper, damage easily spreads, and unused aprons may fall out of the damaged box. However, in the storage box 1 of this embodiment, the opening 18 is formed from end to end in the longitudinal direction of the top surface 11, and the dimension of the backing sheet 20 in the short side direction (d6 direction) is smaller than the dimension of the outer box 10 in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction). This prevents the protrusion T (laminated body 30A) and covering portion 23 from contacting the edge of the opening 18. Furthermore, at the opening 18, the laminated body 30A of the apron 30 is covered by the covering portion 23 (retaining portion 25), so the apron 30 does not contact the edge of the opening 18 when removed. Therefore, when the apron 30 is removed, damage to the outer box 10 caused by the apron 30 or the covering portion 23 coming into contact with the edge of the opening 18 or the like can be prevented.

[0056] Furthermore, if the fourteenth surface M14 were not provided and the covering portion 23 of the backing sheet 20 had the tenth surface M10 to the thirteenth surface M13, when the user removes the aprons 30 from the removal opening 26, the end of the thirteenth surface M13 would protrude from the opening 18, making it difficult to remove the aprons 30 one by one, or requiring the user to push the protruding thirteenth surface M13 into the outer box 10 with a finger or the like. However, in the storage box 1 of this embodiment, the pressing portion 25 (covering portion 23) of the backing sheet 20 has the fourteenth surface M14, so the pressing portion 25 (covering portion 23) has a sufficient length, and further, the storage box 10 is stored in a form in which at least a part of the fourteenth surface M14 is located below the folding portion 22. As a result, when the user takes out the aprons 30 from the outlet 26, the ends of the covering parts 23 do not protrude, and the aprons 30 can be easily taken out one by one.

[0057] Below, an example of the dimensions of each part of the storage box 1 of this embodiment is described, but this is not limited to this and may be changed as appropriate depending on the size of the sheet-like materials to be stored, such as the apron 30. The storage box 1 has a longitudinal dimension S1 = 235 mm, a width dimension S2 = 125 mm, and a height dimension S3 = 63 mm. The dimension S4 of the backing sheet 20 in the short side direction (d6 direction) is 220 mm, and the dimension S5 of the backing sheet 20 in the long side direction (d7 direction) is 1465 mm. The width (dimension in the long side direction of the backing sheet 20) of the first surface M1 and the fourth surface M4 to the eighth surface M8 and the eleventh surface M11 is W1 = 115 mm, the width W2 of the second surface M2 and the third surface M3 = 155 mm, the width W3 of the ninth surface M9 = 120 mm, the width W4 of the tenth surface M10 = 20 mm, the width W5 of the twelfth surface M12 = 30 mm, the width W6 of the thirteenth surface M13 = 80 mm, and the width W7 of the fourteenth surface M14 = 100 mm. The distance S6 from the fold line L11 to the removal opening 26 in the long side direction of the backing sheet 20 is 15 mm, the distance S7 from the long side 21d at the bottom of the backing sheet 20 to the removal opening 26 in the short side direction of the backing sheet 20 is 55 mm, the dimension S8 of the removal opening 26 in the short side direction of the backing sheet 20 is 60 mm, and the dimension S9 of the removal opening 26 in the long side direction of the backing sheet 20 is 60 mm.

[0058] (Second embodiment) FIG. 12 is a view showing the state when the storage box 2 for the medical apron 30 of the second embodiment is opened. Fig. 13 is a diagram schematically showing a cross section of the storage box 2 of the second embodiment. Fig. 13 shows a cross section parallel to the width direction (d2 direction) and height direction (d3 direction) of the storage box 2 shown in Fig. 12. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the unopened storage box 2 for the medical apron 30 of the second embodiment. The storage box 2 of this embodiment, like the storage box 1 of the first embodiment, is a box that stores medical aprons 30, which are sheet-like members, in the state of a stack 30A, and has the same form as the storage box 1 shown in the first embodiment, except that it is provided with a restraining portion 219. Therefore, parts that perform the same functions as those in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, or the same reference numerals with the last one or two digits are given, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate.

[0059] The storage box 2 has a rectangular parallelepiped or cubic shape, and has an opening 218 on the top surface 211 in an opened state. A protrusion T2 protrudes toward this opening 218, and a protruding pressing portion 225 (covering portion 223) that covers the shape of the protrusion T2 protrudes outward (upward) from the outer box 210. In this embodiment, an example in which the storage box 2 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape will be described.

[0060] The convex portion T2 has a mountain portion (second mountain portion Y2) having a fold formed by folding the backing sheet 220 and a laminate 30A folded convexly along this fold, and is equipped with a pressing portion 225 (covering portion 223) of the backing sheet 220 stored inside the storage box 2 so as to cover the surface of the mountain portion. The pressing portion 225 is formed with a take-out opening 226 for taking out the apron 30, and a part of the laminate 30A of the apron 30 is exposed at the take-out opening 226.

[0061] The storage box 2 has an outer box 210 and a mount 220 . The outer box 210 is formed using the same materials as the outer box 10 of the first embodiment. The outer box 210 can be produced by appropriately assembling a template (blank) 210A as shown in Fig. 15, which will be described later. The outer box 210 of this embodiment has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a top surface 211, a front surface 212, a back surface 213, side surfaces 214 and 215, and a bottom surface 216.

[0062] A planned opening portion 217 is formed on the top surface 211 of the outer box 210 by a planned opening line 217a and a ridge line r1 (the joint between the top surface 211 and the front surface 212). The planned opening portion 217 is provided along the ridge line r1 and has a rectangular shape. The planned opening line 217a extends in the width direction (d2 direction) from the ridge line r1 between the top surface 211 and the front surface 212, then extends in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction), and then extends in the width direction again to reach the ridge line r1. The planned opening line 217a is perforated, with linear slits arranged at predetermined intervals. The planned opening line 217a may also be perforated half-cut, etc. The intended opening portion 217 becomes a flap-shaped lid when the intended opening line 217a is broken to form the opening 218.

[0063] Fold lines f are formed in the planned opening portion 217 near two corners formed by the planned opening lines 217a. When the user presses the area where the fold lines f are formed with their fingers, the planned opening lines 217a at the corners are easily broken, and the planned opening portion 217 can be easily opened outward from the outer box 210 by pinching the edges or corners of the planned opening portion 217, thereby easily forming the opening 218.

[0064] The dimensions of the opening 218 (planned opening portion 217) in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of the storage box 2 are smaller than the dimensions of the storage box 2 (outer box 210). Restricting portions 219 are provided on both sides of the opening 218 (planned opening portion 217) in the top surface 211 in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction). The preventing portion 219 has the function of preventing the pressing portion 225 covering the protrusion T2 and the laminated body 30A from flying out of the opening 218 when the user takes out the apron 30. Furthermore, the width (d2 direction dimension) of the opening 218 is greater than the width (d2 direction dimension) of the protrusion T2.

[0065] FIG. 15 is a development view of the outer box 210 of the second embodiment. The outer box 210 is formed by assembling a paper pattern (blank) 210A as shown in Fig. 15 and joining adhesive pieces as appropriate. In Fig. 15, as in Fig. 4, for ease of understanding, the d4 direction and d5 direction which are perpendicular to each other are shown, and the fold lines 19a and 19b are shown by dashed lines. The back surface 213, the top surface 211, the front surface 212, and the bottom surface 216 are connected in one direction (direction d5) via folding lines 19a.

[0066] The folded-in portions 2131 and 2132 are connected to both ends in the d4 direction of the back surface 213. The folded-in portions 2131 and 2132 are formed with folding lines 19b. The top surface 211 has side flaps 2141 and 2151 connected to both ends in the d4 direction to form the side surfaces 214 and 215. As described above, the top surface 211 is provided with an intended opening portion 217 along an intended opening line 217a. The side flaps 2141 and 2151 are provided with insertion pieces 2143 and 2153 on the side opposite to the connecting portion with the top surface 211 .

[0067] The folded-in portions 2121 and 2122 are connected to both ends in the d4 direction of the front surface 212. The folded-in portions 2121 and 2122 are also connected to side flaps 2144 and 2154, respectively, which will be described later. The folded-in portions 2121 and 2122 are formed with fold lines 19b.

[0068] Side flaps 2144, 2154 for forming the side surfaces 214, 215 are connected to both ends of the bottom surface 216 in the d4 direction. The bottom surface 216 also has an adhesive tab 2161 on the side opposite the connecting portion with the front surface 212 in the d5 direction. The adhesive tab 2161 is bonded to the rear surface side of the rear surface 213 during assembly with an adhesive or bonding agent (not shown).

[0069] The side flaps 2144, 2154 have flaps 2146, 2156 on the side opposite the connection with the bottom surface 216 in the d4 direction, and have adhesive strips 2145, 2155 on the side opposite the connection with the fold-in portions 2121, 2122 in the d5 direction. The adhesive strips 2145, 2155 are joined to the back sides of the fold-in portions 2131, 2132 during assembly. Insertion holes 2148, 2158 are formed at the connection between the bottom surface 216 and the side flaps 2144, 2154.

[0070] Like a normal box, the outer box 210 of this embodiment has a surface that would generally be the top surface as the top surface 211. Therefore, compared to the first embodiment in which a surface that would generally be the bottom surface is used as the top surface 211, it is possible to reduce the number of insertion ports, insertion pieces, etc., and it is possible to reduce production costs and the time required for assembly work, etc. The shapes of the flaps, insertion pieces, insertion openings, etc. are not limited to those shown in FIG. 15 and may be changed as appropriate.

[0071] When assembling outer box 210, folding line 19b of folding-in portion 2121 is folded in a valley, and insertion piece 2143 is inserted into insertion opening 2148. Also, folding line 19b of folding-in portion 2122 is folded in a valley, and insertion piece 2153 is inserted into insertion opening 2158.

[0072] 16 and 17 are diagrams illustrating a mount 220 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 16 is a plan view of the mount 220, and FIG. 17 shows an apron 30 placed on the surface 220a of the mount 220. In FIGS. 16 and 17, for ease of understanding, the short side direction of the mount 220 is designated as the d6 direction, and the long side direction is designated as the d7 direction. In addition, in FIG. 17, for ease of understanding, only one apron 30 is shown placed on the surface 220a of the mount 220, but in reality, as in the first embodiment, a stack 30A of 50 aprons 30 is placed on the mount 220.

[0073] The backing sheet 220 is a sheet- or plate-shaped paper member having a folding portion 222 on one side (the surface 220a in this embodiment) on which the laminate 30A of aprons 30 is placed, whereby at least one fold can be formed. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the backing sheet 220 is formed using Kent paper, as in the first embodiment. The type, thickness, basis weight, etc. of paper suitable for the backing sheet 220 are the same as those of the backing sheet 20 in the first embodiment.

[0074] The mount 220 has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. The d6 direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of the storage box 1. The two short sides of the mount 220 are designated 221a and 221b, the two long sides are designated 221c and 221d, and the front surface is designated 220a and the back surface is designated 220b. The dimension S4 of the backing board 220 in the short side direction (d6 direction) is smaller than the dimension S1 in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction) of the outer box 10 so that the backing board 220 can be stored in the outer box 210. In this embodiment, an example will be given in which the dimension S4 is equal to the width dimension of the apron 30 in the folded state shown in Figures 5(b) and (c), but the dimension S4 is not limited to this and may be larger or smaller than the width dimension of the apron 30 in the folded state shown in Figures 5(b) and (c).

[0075] Furthermore, the mount 220 has multiple faces connected via fold lines along its long side direction (d7 direction). In this embodiment, the mount 220 has 14 faces (the first face M201 to the fourteenth face M214) connected via fold lines L1 to L13 along the long side direction (d7 direction). In Figures 16 and 17, the fold lines L1 to L13 are indicated by dashed lines. These fold lines L1 to L13 can be folded in mountain folds or valley folds. The mount 220 has a folding portion 222 and a covering portion 223 .

[0076] The first surface M201 to the ninth surface M209 form the folding section 222. The folding section 222 can form a bellows-like structure by repeatedly folding valley folds and mountain folds alternately along the folding lines L1 to L8. The laminated body 30A of the apron 30 is placed on the surface 220a of the folding section 222. In this embodiment, the laminated body 30A is placed with the neck hanging portion 31 side of the apron 30 facing the first surface M201 and the hem side facing the tenth surface M210, and the bottom end of the hem of the apron 30 is positioned on the tenth surface M210.

[0077] The laminate 30A of the apron 30 may be placed on the surface 220a of the folding portion 222 and the tenth face M210, with the lower end of the hem of the apron 30 positioned on the eleventh face M211, or the neck strap portion 31 may protrude from the first face M201 as shown in FIG. 17. In this embodiment, the laminate 30A is placed so that the strings 33 of the apron 30 are on the long side 221c, which is the upper end of the backing 220. In this state, the strings 33 are located below the body portion 32.

[0078] In this embodiment, in the folding portion 222, the second surface M202 and the third surface M203 have a width W2, which is the dimension in the connection direction (direction d7), that is larger than the width W1 of the other surfaces of the folding portion 22 (the first surface M201, the fourth surface M204 to the ninth surface M209). In this embodiment, the first surface M201 and the fourth surface M204 to the ninth surface M209 have the same width (dimension in the connecting direction (d7 direction)) of W1, but this is not limited to this, and the widths may be different individually, or only one surface may have a different width.

[0079] The covering portion 223 is the tenth surface M210 to the fourteenth surface M214. The covering portion 223 covers at least one peak of the folded portion 222 in the accordion-folded state with the laminate 30A placed thereon. Furthermore, the covering portion 223 of this embodiment does not include the fixing portion 24 shown in the first embodiment, and the covering portion 223 serves as a pressing portion 225 that covers the second peak Y2 that forms a convex portion.

[0080] In this embodiment, the width W4 (dimension in the connecting direction (d7 direction)) of the tenth surface M210 is larger than the width W1 of the ninth surface M209, etc., and smaller than the width W2 of the second surface M202 and the third surface M203.

[0081] In a state where the folding portion 222 is accordion-folded and the mountain portion is covered by the covering portion 223 (the state shown in FIG. 18(c) described later), the region of the eleventh surface M211 on the twelfth surface M212 side and the region of the twelfth surface M213 on the twelfth surface M212 side are portions that cover the top of the convex portion T2 along its shape. By folding the fold lines L11 and L12 as valley folds when viewed from the front surface 220a side of the backing sheet 220 (mountain folds when viewed from the back surface 220b side), the twelfth surface M212 becomes the top surface of the convex shape corresponding to the second mountain portion Y2.

[0082] An outlet 226 is formed across the eleventh surface M211, the twelfth surface M212, and part of the area of ​​the thirteenth surface M213 on the twelfth surface M212 side. The removal opening 226 is formed in the center of the short side direction (d6 direction) of the backing sheet 220. When the backing sheet 220 and the laminate 30A are stored in the storage box 2, the removal opening 226 is located in an area of ​​the second peak Y2 that corresponds to the neck hanging portion 31 of the apron 30, and a user can pull out the apron 30 from the removal opening 226 by grasping the neck hanging portion 31 of the apron 30.

[0083] The size S8 in the d6 direction of the outlet 226 is larger than that of the first embodiment, which reduces the pressure applied to the edge of the outlet 226 during removal, thereby preventing damage to the edge of the outlet 226. Furthermore, the dimension S9 of the removal opening 226 in the d7 direction is larger than in the first embodiment, and extends to the fold line L10 of the eleventh surface M211. As a result, when the backing sheet 220 and the stack 30A are stored in the storage box 2, the stack 30A comes into contact with the front surface 212 at the removal opening 226. This configuration reduces friction between the backing sheet 220 (eleventh surface M211) and the outer box 210 when the apron 30 is removed, and prevents the backing sheet 220 from flying out when the apron 30 is removed.

[0084] Furthermore, a cutout portion 227 is formed by cutting out an upper long side 221c and a lower long side 221d of the mount 220, across the area of ​​the eleventh surface M211 on the twelfth surface M212 side, the twelfth surface M212, and the area of ​​the thirteenth surface M213 on the twelfth surface M212 side. In this embodiment, the cutout portion 227 has a rectangular shape as shown in Figures 16 and 17, but the shape of the cutout portion 227 may be selected appropriately. This cutout portion 227 corresponds to the surface on the back side (inside the storage box 2) of the restraining portion 219 when the backing sheet 220 and the laminate 30A are stored in the storage box 2. By providing such cutout portion 227 to adjust the longitudinal dimension of the opening 218, when the opening 218 is formed by breaking the planned opening line 217a, the pressing portion 225 covering the protrusion T2 can protrude from the opening 218 to the outside of the outer box 210.

[0085] Figure 18 is a diagram illustrating the procedure for storing the mount 220 and the apron 30 of the second embodiment in the storage box 1. In Figure 18, some shapes and the like are shown in a simplified form to facilitate understanding. First, the worker places the laminate 30A of the apron 30 on the backing sheet 220. In this embodiment, the laminate 30A is arranged so that the string portion 33 side is below the body portion 32 and faces the upper end (long side 221c) of the backing sheet 220, as shown in FIG.

[0086] Next, as shown in FIG. 18(a), similarly to the first embodiment, it is folded up to the folding line L8 to form an accordion shape. Next, as shown in Fig. 18(b), the fold line L9 is folded in a valley, and the fold line L10 provided at the boundary between the tenth face M210 and the eleventh face M211 is folded in a valley, and the covering portion 223 is arranged to cover the multiple peaks. At this time, the tenth face M210 is positioned opposite the ninth face M209, and the eleventh face M211 covers the multiple peaks.

[0087] Next, as shown in FIG. 18(c), the worker folds the fold line L11 at the boundary between the eleventh surface M211 and the twelfth surface M212 in a valley fold (a mountain fold when viewed from the back surface 220b). The worker also folds the fold line L12 at the boundary between the twelfth surface M212 and the thirteenth surface M213 in a valley fold (a mountain fold when viewed from the back surface 220b). The worker also folds the fold line L13 at the boundary between the thirteenth surface M213 and the fourteenth surface M214 in a mountain fold (a valley fold when viewed from the back surface 220b). This forms a convex shape with the twelfth surface M212 as its top surface, and aligns this convex shape with the second mountain portion Y2, which will become the convex portion T2.

[0088] Next, as shown in Fig. 18(d), the worker folds the convex portion of the pressing portion 225 and the convex portion T2 toward the fourteenth surface M214, and stores the laminate in the outer box 210. Fig. 18(d) shows the state in which the backing sheet 220 and the laminate 30A are stored in the outer box 10, as viewed from the side surface 214. As in the first embodiment, when storing the mount 220 and the laminate 30A in the outer box 210, the outer box 210 is formed in advance in a box shape, with one side sealed and the other side open. An operator inserts the mount 220 and the laminate 30A into the outer box 210 from the open side of the outer box 210 and stores them therein.

[0089] At this time, the worker places the folded backing sheet 220 and stack 30A inside from the open side, for example, side surface 14, so that the protrusion T2 is positioned on the side corresponding to the intended opening portion 217 in the width direction (d2 direction), and then places side surface flap 2141 on top of side surface flap 2144 and inserts insertion piece 2143 into insertion opening 2148 to form and seal side surface 14. This results in an unopened storage box 2 in which the backing sheet 220 and stack 30A of aprons 30 are stored in the outer box 210, as shown in the above-mentioned Fig. 13.

[0090] A user of the apron 30 breaks the intended opening line 217a by, for example, pressing with a finger the areas where the fold lines f are formed at both longitudinal ends of the intended opening portion 217 of the outer box 210, thereby forming the opening 218. When the opening 218 is formed, the protrusion T2 that has been pressed against the top surface 211 protrudes toward the opening 218, and the pressing portion 225 that covers the protrusion T2 protrudes upward from the opening 218, as shown in FIG. A user of the apron 30 can pinch the surface of the protrusion T2 of the laminate 30A on the second surface M202 side and the surface of the protrusion T2 on the third surface M203 side with their fingers and pull out the apron 30 from the removal opening 226. This allows the user to remove the aprons 30 one by one from the storage box 2.

[0091] Furthermore, even when the number of aprons 30 in the laminate 30A is reduced due to use of the aprons 30, the protrusions T2 protrude toward the opening 218, and are positioned high in the height direction and close to the opening 218, so that the user does not need to reach into the storage box 2 to remove the aprons 30, making removal easy and quick. In particular, when medical aprons 30 or the like are stored in the storage box 2, as in this embodiment, there is no risk of the user reaching into the storage box 2 to soil the unused aprons 30, and hygiene is improved.

[0092] In addition, in this embodiment, the stoppers 219 are formed at positions adjacent to both ends of the opening 218 in the longitudinal direction (d1 direction), which prevents the retaining parts 225 and the like from flying out of the outer box 210 together with the apron 30 through the opening 218 when the apron 30 is removed. This reduces damage to the outer box 210 (particularly damage to the opening 218) and allows the aprons 30 to be quickly removed one by one.

[0093] In this embodiment, a notch 227 is formed in the covering portion 223 of the backing board 220. This allows the protrusion T2 to protrude toward the opening 218, and the pressing portion 225 that covers the protrusion T2 protrudes from the opening 218, making it easier to pull out the apron 30.

[0094] In this embodiment, the user can take out the apron 30 by grasping the neck loop 31 or the body part 32 near the neck loop through the opening 226. Therefore, when the user takes out the apron 30 from the storage box 1, it is easy to know which part of the apron 30 the user is grasping with their fingers, and the apron 30 can be quickly put on without touching the body part 32.

[0095] In addition, in this embodiment, the removal opening 226 is formed larger than the removal opening 226 in the first embodiment, thereby reducing the pressure on the edge of the removal opening 226 when removing the apron 30. Therefore, when the apron 30 is pulled out, the pressure on the edge of the removal opening 226 is reduced, and damage to the removal opening 226 can be suppressed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the removal opening 226 is provided in the center of the short side direction (d6 direction) of the backing 220 (holding portion 225), so that when the apron 30 is pulled out, the uneven pressure on the edge of the removal opening 226 is reduced, thereby suppressing damage to the removal opening 226.

[0096] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the work of folding back the covering portion 223 or forming a fixing portion, which was required when storing the backing sheet 20 and the laminate 30A in the storage box 1 of the first embodiment, is not required, and the work of storing the backing sheet 220 and the laminate 30A can be performed more easily compared to the first embodiment.

[0097] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top surface of the pressing portion 225 that covers the protrusion T2 is the twelfth surface M212 of the backing sheet 220, so that when the apron 30 is removed, the pressure on the fold line is reduced compared to when the fold line portion is the top, and damage to the removal opening 226 can be reduced.

[0098] In this embodiment, the intended opening portion 217 is a flap-shaped lid, which can prevent dust and the like from entering the storage box 2 when not in use. Moreover, the intended opening portion 217 is not detached from the outer box 210, which can eliminate the need to go and throw away the removed intended opening portion 217.

[0099] Below, an example of the dimensions of each part of the storage box 2 of this embodiment is described, but this is not limited to this and may be changed as appropriate depending on the size of the sheet-like materials to be stored, such as the apron 30. The storage box 2 has a longitudinal dimension S1 = 235 mm, a width dimension S2 = 125 mm, and a height dimension S3 = 63 mm. The dimension S4 of the backing sheet 20 in the short side direction (d6 direction) is 220 mm, and the dimension S5 of the backing sheet 20 in the long side direction (d7 direction) is 1430 mm. The widths (dimensions in the long side direction of the backing sheet 220) of the first surface M201 and the fourth surface M204 to the ninth surface M209 are W1 = 112 mm, the widths W2 of the second surface M202 and the third surface M203 are W2 = 152 mm, the width W4 of the tenth surface M210 is W4 = 120 mm, the width W8 of the eleventh surface M211 is W8 = 75 mm, the width W5 of the twelfth surface M212 is W5 = 20 mm, the width W6 of the thirteenth surface M213 is W6 = 20 mm, and the width W7 of the fourteenth surface M214 is W7 = 107 mm. The dimension S8 of the outlet 226 in the d6 direction is 70 mm, and the dimension S9 in the d7 direction is 105 mm. The dimension S10 of the cutout portion 227 in the d6 direction is 30 mm, the dimension S11 in the d7 direction is 50 mm, and the distance S12 from the fold line L10 to the cutout portion 227 in the d7 direction is 55 mm.

[0100] (Variations) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible, and these are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0101] (1) In each embodiment, the sheet-like members stored in the storage boxes 1 and 2 are resin sheet-like aprons 30, but the stored sheet-like members may be resin gloves or bags, or other sheet-like members (for example, anti-fouling sheets laid down during treatment). The sheet-like members stored in the storage boxes 1 and 2 can be any member that is not continuous but in a sheet-like state, such as resin gloves, and that can be handled as a thin, flat sheet-like or film-like member in an unused state.

[0102] (2) In the first embodiment, the width (dimension in the d7 direction) of the second surface M2 and the third surface M3 is large, and the second ridge portion Y2 protrudes upward as a convex portion T from the opening 18 of the outer box 10 together with the covering portion 23 (holding portion 25). However, this is not limited to this, and other ridge portions may protrude. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a modified mount 20. For ease of understanding, Fig. 10 shows the first surface M1 to the tenth surface M10 of the modified mount 20. Fig. 10 also shows the positions where the ridges are formed in a simplified manner. 10(a), the widths (dimensions in the d7 direction) of the fourth surface M4 and the fifth surface M5 may be larger than those of the other surfaces of the folded portion 22, and the third peak Y3 may form a protrusion T that protrudes from the opening 18. Furthermore, although not shown, the widths of the sixth surface M6 and the seventh surface M7 may be larger than those of the other surfaces of the folded portion 22, and the fourth peak Y4 may form a protrusion T that protrudes from the opening 18, or the widths of the eighth surface M8 and the ninth surface M9 may be larger, and the fifth peak Y5 may form a protrusion T that protrudes from the opening 18.

[0103] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the widths (d7 direction dimensions) of the first surface M1 and the second surface M2 may be large, and the fold line L1 between the first surface M1 and the second surface M2 may be mountain-folded to form a first mountain portion Y1, with this first mountain portion Y1 forming a protrusion T protruding from the opening 18. In this case, the mountain and valley folds of each fold line are reversed from those in the above-described embodiment. In this case, it is preferable to provide an additional surface on the folded portion 22 that does not form the protrusion T. For example, as shown in FIG. 10(b), a surface M15 having the same shape as the eighth surface M8 may be provided between the eighth surface M8 and the ninth surface M9. Note that the position of the surface M15 may be selected elsewhere as appropriate. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10(b), the surface M15 may be provided closer to the ninth surface M9 than the second surface M2 and closer to the first surface M1 than the ninth surface M9.

[0104] Similarly, although not shown, the widths of the third surface M3 and the fourth surface M4 may be large, and the second mountain portion Y2 formed by mountain folding the fold line L3 between the third surface M3 and the fourth surface M4 may form a convex portion T protruding from the opening 18; the widths of the fifth surface M5 and the sixth surface M6 may be large, and the third mountain portion Y3 formed by mountain folding the fold line L5 between the fifth surface M5 and the sixth surface M6 may form a convex portion T protruding from the opening 18; or the widths of the seventh surface M7 and the eighth surface M8 may be large, and the fourth mountain portion Y4 formed by mountain folding the fold line L7 between the seventh surface M7 and the eighth surface M8 may form a convex portion T protruding from the opening 18. When changing the ridge portion protruding from the opening 18, the position of the outlet 26 provided in the covering portion 23 of the backing 20, the number of surfaces forming the covering portion 23, the width, etc. may be adjusted as appropriate.

[0105] 10(c), depending on the shape, material, etc. of the sheet-like members to be stored, the backing sheet 20 may be configured without the covering portion 23, i.e., may have only the folding portion 22 (from the first surface M1 to the ninth surface M9). Note that, as in the above-described embodiment, FIG. 10(c) shows an example in which the second mountain portion Y2 formed by mountain-folding the fold line L2 between the second surface M2 and the third surface M3 forms the convex portion T, but is not limited to this, and a configuration in which the first mountain portion Y1 or the like forms the convex portion T, as shown in FIG. 10(b), may also be used. In the above description and Figure 10, the mount 20 of the first embodiment has been used as an example, but the same applies to the mount 220 of the second embodiment, and the ridges other than the second ridge Y2 formed by the second surface M202 and the third surface M203 may be configured to protrude toward the opening 218.

[0106] (3) FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a modified mount 20 and the orientation of the apron 30 when placed on the mount 20. 11(a), in the first embodiment, the cover 23 of the backing sheet 20 may be located on the left side of the folding portion 22. In this case, as in the first embodiment described above, the second mountain portion Y2 formed by mountain-folding the fold line L2 forms the protrusion T protruding from the opening 18. 11(b), the removal opening 26 provided in the covering portion 23 may be formed in a position corresponding to the center of the body portion 32 of the apron 30. In the above-described embodiment, an example was given in which the removal opening 26 was located slightly lower than the center in the short side direction of the backing sheet 20 (toward the long side 21d) so as to correspond to the string portion 33, from the viewpoint of making it easier for the user to remove the apron 30 while gripping the string portion 33. However, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the removal opening 26 may be formed in a position corresponding to the body portion 32 of the apron 30. Even in such a configuration, the aprons 30 can be easily removed one by one from the storage box 1. Although the mount 20 and the apron 30 of the first embodiment have been described as an example in FIG. 11, the same applies to the mount 220 and the apron 30 of the second embodiment.

[0107] (4) In each embodiment, the folding portion 22, 222 of the backing sheet 20, 220 has nine connected surfaces from the first surface M1, M201 to the ninth surface M9, M209, but the number of connected surfaces may be changed as appropriate depending on the length of the apron 30, the shape of the components stored as sheet-like components, etc. Furthermore, the covering portion 23 of the first embodiment may also have a configuration that does not include the tenth surface M10, or the number of connected surfaces may be increased or decreased depending on the thickness of the laminate 30A, etc.

[0108] The embodiments and modifications may be used in combination as appropriate, but detailed description thereof will be omitted. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
