Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a package. [Background technology]

[0002] Articles such as merchandise are packed in containers and then transported (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-308330 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when an item has a printed display on its side, if the item vibrates in the storage box during transport, the display may rub against the wall or partition of the storage box, causing the information on the display to become unclear. The present invention has been made to solve the above problem, and aims to provide a package that can prevent damage to the display of the item stored in the storage box. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The packaging body of the present invention comprises at least a storage box having a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion rising from a periphery of the bottom wall portion, a plurality of items stored in the storage box, and at least one partition member stored in the storage box, wherein the storage box stores at least one row of the plurality of items stacked together, one of the side surfaces of each of the items forming a first side surface having a display portion, the plurality of items in each row are stacked together so that the first side surfaces are flush with the same orientation, the partition member is positioned so as to contact the first side surfaces of the plurality of stacked items, and at least one through-hole is formed in the portion facing the display portion.

[0006] According to this configuration, the partition member is disposed inside the container so as to contact the first side surface of the item on which the display portion is formed. The partition member has a through-hole formed at a position facing the display portion, so that the display portion can be prevented from coming into contact with and rubbing against the partition member. Therefore, even if the package is subjected to vibration during transportation, the information formed on the display portion can be prevented from being damaged.

[0007] In the above-mentioned package, the through-portion of the partition member may be configured to expose all of the display portions of the plurality of stacked articles in each row.

[0008] According to this configuration, the display parts of all the stacked articles in each row are prevented from coming into contact with adjacent articles, etc., thereby preventing rubbing of all these display parts.

[0009] In the above-mentioned packaging body, the through-hole may be formed as a notch that opens toward a lower edge side of the partition member.

[0010] According to this configuration, the through-hole is formed as a notch that opens downward, so that, for example, when the partition member is inserted from above between a row of objects or between an object and a side wall portion, contact between the partition member and the display portion during insertion can be prevented.

[0011] In the above-mentioned packaging body, the partition member may have a peripheral edge portion that entirely surrounds the through-hole.

[0012] According to this configuration, since the entire circumference of the through-hole is supported, the contact area between the partition member and the object other than the through-hole is increased, so that the display unit is less likely to come into contact with the adjacent object through the through-hole, which is more effective in preventing rubbing. In addition, for example, the partition member being rectangular in shape has the effect of increasing the rigidity of the partition member itself.

[0013] In the above-mentioned packaging body, the partition portion may be formed with a plurality of the through-holes through which the respective display portions are exposed.

[0014] According to this configuration, the four sides of the partition member are supported, and the bars, which are the portions between the adjacent through-holes, are also arranged at positions corresponding to the spaces between the adjacent display parts. This increases the contact area between the article and the partition member, making it difficult for the display part to come into contact with the adjacent article through the through-hole, which is more effective in preventing rubbing. In addition, by providing the bars at positions corresponding to the spaces between the display parts of the article, the rigidity of the partition member itself is increased.

[0015] In the above packaging body, the storage box contains a plurality of rows of the items, the partition member is arranged across the plurality of rows so as to contact the first side surface, and the partition member can be formed with a plurality of the through holes corresponding to each of the rows.

[0016] As a result, the support pillars, which are between adjacent through-holes, are provided at positions corresponding to the spaces between the rows of articles, increasing the rigidity of the partition member itself. Also, the provision of such support pillars increases the contact area between the articles and the partition member, making it difficult for the display unit to come into contact with adjacent articles through the through-holes, which is more effective in preventing rubbing.

[0017] In the above-mentioned package, the partition member may be disposed between the article and the side wall portion.

[0018] As a result, for example, when an article is formed from paper or the like so that it bulges outward, inserting a partition member between the article and the side wall of the storage box increases the distance between the article and the storage box, and is more effective in preventing friction, compared to inserting a partition member between the articles themselves.

[0019] In the above-mentioned packaging body, the multiple items are stacked in multiple rows including a first row and a second row, and the first side of the multiple items stacked in the first row and the first side of the multiple items stacked in the second row can be arranged so as to face each other via the partition member.

[0020] With this configuration, even if the articles are stacked in two rows with the first side faces facing each other, the partition member is disposed between the articles, so that the display units in both the first and second rows can be prevented from touching each other. Also, the number of partition members is reduced, which is more effective in terms of cost.

[0021] In the above-mentioned package, the storage box may be formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and each of the articles may be formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0022] This allows multiple items to be stored in the storage box without any gaps.

[0023] Note that "without gaps" does not only refer to a state in which there are absolutely no gaps, but also includes a state in which there are some gaps that do not allow items to move significantly inside the storage box.

[0024] In the above-mentioned package, a recess may be formed on the first side surface of each of the articles, and the display portion may be provided in the recess.

[0025] This configuration can further prevent the display portion from coming into contact with an adjacent article or an adjacent side wall portion. Effect of the Invention

[0026] According to the packaging body of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the display portions of the articles from being rubbed and damaged inside the storage box. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0028] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the package according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the package according to this embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the following description will be given along the direction of Fig. 1, but the present invention is not limited to this direction.

[0029] <1. Overview of packaging> 1, this package includes a rectangular parallelepiped storage box 1, a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped objects 2 stored inside the storage box 1, and a plate-shaped partition member 3 disposed inside the storage box 1. Each member will be described in detail below.

[0030] <1-1.Containment Box> FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the storage box, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the storage box 1 includes a rectangular bottom wall portion 11, a square cylindrical side wall portion 12 rising from the periphery of the bottom wall portion 11, and a lid portion 13 connected to the upper edge of the side wall portion 12 and closing the upper opening of the side wall portion 12. The side wall portion 12 is configured by connecting a first short side wall 121 and a second short side wall 122 facing each other, and a first long side wall 123 and a second long side wall 124 facing each other. The first short side wall 121 and the second short side wall 122 are disposed at both ends of the bottom wall portion 11 in the long side direction and are formed in a rectangular shape. On the other hand, the first long side wall 123 and the second long side wall 124 are disposed at both ends of the bottom wall portion 11 in the short side direction and are formed in a rectangular shape.

[0031] The lid portion 13 is composed of a pair of long flaps 131 foldably connected to the upper edges of the first long side wall 123 and the second long side wall 124, and a pair of short flaps 132 foldably connected to the upper edges of the first short side wall 121 and the second short side wall 122. When each long flap 131 is folded, it closes the upper opening of the side wall portion 12. That is, the width of each long flap 131 is about half the length of the upper edges of the short side walls 121 and 122. On the other hand, the width of each short flap 132 is shorter than half the length of the upper edges of the long side walls 123 and 124.

[0032] The storage box 1 can be made of various materials, including, for example, paper materials such as thick paper and corrugated cardboard, as well as resin materials such as plastics and foam materials.

[0033] <1-2. Goods> Next, the article 2 will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 6. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the article, Fig. 5 is a side view of the stacked articles, and Fig. 6 is a plan view of the articles arranged in the storage box. As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, each article 2 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is stacked in three stages in two rows (hereinafter, the left side is referred to as the first row and the right side is referred to as the second row) inside the storage box 1. Each article 2 has a rectangular bottom surface 21 and a top surface 22, and a side portion consisting of four side surfaces 23 to 26 that connect the bottom surface 21 and the top surface 22. Here, the side surfaces formed along the long side of the bottom surface 21 are referred to as the first long side surface 23 and the second long side surface 24, and the side surfaces formed along the short side of the bottom surface 21 are referred to as the first short side surface 25 and the second short side surface 26. The length of the long sides of the bottom surface 21 and the top surface 22 is approximately the same as the length of the short side walls 121 , 122 of the storage box 1 , and the length of the short sides is approximately half the length of the long side walls 123 , 124 of the storage box 1 .

[0034] As shown in Fig. 5, the articles 2 stacked in a row in the storage box 1 are stacked so that the first long sides 23 face the same direction and are flush with each other. As shown in Fig. 6, the articles 2 arranged in two rows are arranged in the storage box 1 so that the first long sides 23 face each other and the first short sides 25 and the second short sides 26 are flush with each other. For ease of explanation, Fig. 6 shows the two rows separated from each other.

[0035] 5, a display section 27 is provided on the first long side surface 23 of each article 2, on which information about the article 2 is displayed. On this display section 27, information such as characters, figures, barcodes, etc. is formed by melting, peeling, etc., a part of a base area that is solidly printed with ink by a laser. The information referred to here is, for example, the name, model number, lot number, etc. of the article, and is information that must not be damaged in order to identify the article or the contents contained in the article.

[0036] The item 2 may be, for example, the product itself or a packaging box in which the product is packed.

[0037] <1-3. Partitioning materials> Next, the partition member 3 will be described with reference to Figs. 7 and 8. Fig. 7 is a front view of the partition member, and Fig. 8 is a front view showing the partition member in contact with stacked items. As shown in Fig. 7, the partition member 3 has a rectangular outer shape, and is disposed between the first row of items 2 and the second row of items 2 in the storage box 1, as shown in Fig. 1. The vertical length of the partition member 3 is approximately the same as the height of the storage box 1, and the horizontal length is approximately the same as the length of the short side of the storage box 1.

[0038] The partition member 3 is formed with a rectangular through-hole 31 that opens to the lower edge side. Therefore, the partition member 3 is formed in a U-shape as a whole. The through-hole 31 is formed in a size that exposes all of the display portions 27 of the first long side surfaces 23 of the articles in each row.

[0039] 8, the left-right length of the through-hole 31 is longer than the left-right length of the display unit 27. Meanwhile, the up-down length of the through-hole 31 is the length from the bottom ends of the articles 2 stacked in three tiers to a position slightly higher than the upper edge of the display unit 27 of the topmost article 2. Therefore, when the partition member 3 comes into contact with the first long side surface 23 of the stacked articles 2, the display units 27 of the three articles 2 are exposed from the through-hole 31.

[0040] The partition member 3 can be made of various materials, but can be made of the same material as the above-mentioned storage box 1. The thickness of the partition member 3 is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1 to 20 mm. This is because if the partition member 3 is too thin, there is a risk that the display sections 27 of the articles 2 in the first row and the articles 2 in the second row may come into contact with each other, as described below, and if the partition member 3 is too thick, it becomes difficult to store the articles 2 in the storage box 1.

[0041] <2. How to pack items> Next, a method for packaging an article will be described with reference to Figs. 9 to 12. First, as shown in Fig. 9, with the lid 13 of the storage box 1 open, three articles 2 in a first row are stacked in the storage box 1. At this time, the articles 2 in the first row are aligned so that their second long sides 24 are flush with each other and are arranged so that the second long sides 24 are in contact with the second short side wall 122 of the storage box 1. As a result, the first long sides 23 of the articles 2 in the first row are aligned flush and arranged near the center of the storage box 1. Then, a space is formed in the storage box 1 in which the articles 2 in the second row can be arranged.

[0042] 10, the partition member 3 is placed so as to contact the first long side surface 23 of the articles 2 in the first row. As a result, the display portions 27 of the three articles 2 are exposed from the through-holes 31 of the partition member 3.

[0043] Next, as shown in Fig. 11, the second row of articles 2 are stored in the storage box 1. At this time, the articles 2 in the second row are aligned so that their first long side faces 23 are flush with each other and are arranged so that the first long side faces 23 are in contact with the partition member 3 (see Fig. 6). As a result, the display sections 27 of the three articles 2 in each row are arranged to correspond to the through-holes 31 of the partition member 3. In this way, the six articles 2 are stored in the storage box 1 without any gaps, with the partition member 3 arranged between the articles 2 in the first row and the articles 2 in the second row.

[0044] Subsequently, both short flaps 132 are folded, and then both long flaps 131 are folded. Then, the long flaps 131 are fixed with tape or the like. As a result, the top opening of the storage box 1 is closed with the lid 13, as shown in FIG. 12, and the packaging is completed.

[0045] <3. Features> As described above, according to this embodiment, the partition member 3 is disposed inside the storage box 1 so as to face the first long side surface 23 of the article 2 on which the display unit 27 is formed. The partition member 3 has the through-hole 31 formed at a position corresponding to the display unit 27, so that the display unit 27 can be prevented from coming into contact with and rubbing against the partition member 3. Therefore, even if the package is subjected to vibration during transportation, the information (such as a barcode including a character string or a two-dimensional code) formed on the display unit 27 can be prevented from being damaged. Also, the partition member 3 can be prevented from being stained by ink in a solid area.

[0046] In particular, in this embodiment, the articles 2 are stacked in two rows so that the first long sides 23 having the display units 27 face each other, and a partition member 3 is placed between them, thereby preventing the display units 27 in both the first and second rows from coming into contact with each other.

[0047] It is also possible to insert the partition member 3 between the first and second rows after all of the articles 2 have been accommodated in the storage box 1. In this case, since the through-hole 31 is formed as a notch that opens downward, when the partition member 2 is inserted from above, it is possible to prevent the partition member 3 being inserted from coming into contact with the display unit 27.

[0048] <4. Modifications> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the following modifications are possible, and the following modifications can be combined as appropriate.

[0049] <4-1> In the above embodiment, the articles are stored in two rows in the storage box, but more rows of articles can be stored. In this case, for example, as shown in Fig. 13, a partition member 3 can be provided to span two rows of articles 2. In this case, the partition member 3 has two through-holes 31 separated by a support 33 extending in the vertical direction so that the display units 27 of each row are exposed. Then, another set of such two rows of articles can be provided and stored in the storage box 1 so as to face each other with the partition member 3 interposed therebetween.

[0050] In this way, the number of through-holes 31 formed in the partition member 3 can be appropriately changed depending on the number of rows of the opposing articles 2. The shape of the through-holes 31 does not have to be rectangular, and may be any shape that exposes all the display sections 27 in at least one row. Therefore, for example, the through-holes 31 do not have to be open at the lower edge of the partition member 3, and as shown in FIG. 14, the partition member 3 may be formed in a frame shape so as to surround the entire periphery of the rectangular through-holes 31. In this case, the part of the partition member 3 that surrounds the periphery of the through-holes 31 constitutes the periphery of the present invention. In addition to a shape that exposes multiple display sections 27 through one through-hole 31, multiple through-holes 31 can be provided for each display section 27 so that each display section 27 is exposed individually. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the partition member 3 is provided with three through-holes 31 separated by bars 32 extending in the left-right direction so as to correspond to each display section, and each display section 27 is exposed from these through-holes 31. 13 to 15, the area of ​​the partition member 3 other than the through-hole 31 increases, and the rigidity of the partition member 3 increases. Also, the contact area between the portion of the partition member 3 other than the through-hole 31 and the side surface of the article 2 increases, and the area of ​​the through-hole 31 becomes relatively small, making it difficult for the display unit 27 to come into contact with the adjacent article 2 through the through-hole 31. This improves the effect of preventing the display unit 27 from being rubbed.

[0051] The partition member 3 does not have to be a flat plate, and may have an uneven surface, such as a corrugated surface. Furthermore, the outer shape of the partition member 3 and the shape of the through-holes 31 are not particularly limited, and may be other than rectangular.

[0052] <4-2> The partition members 3 do not have to be positioned between the rows of articles 3. For example, as shown in Fig. 16, they may be positioned between the rows of articles 2 or between the rows of articles 2 and the side wall 12 of the storage box 1. In this case, the first long side surface 23 of the articles 2 in each example faces the first short side wall 121 and the second short side wall 122, respectively, and the partition members 3 are provided between the first row of articles 2 and the second short side wall 122, and between the second row of articles 2 and the first short side wall 121. In this way, the partition members 3 prevent the display unit 27 from coming into contact with the short side walls 121, 122, so that the information on the display unit 27 can be prevented from being damaged.

[0053] In this way, the orientation of the article 2 in the storage box 1 is not particularly limited and may be any orientation. The partition member 3 may be disposed in a position facing the first long side surface 23.

[0054] <4-3> There are no particular limitations on the shape of the storage box 1, the shape of the article 2, the number of articles 2 to be stored, or the arrangement method. Also, the storage box 1 may not be provided with a lid portion 13.

[0055] <4-4> The display unit 27 may have various configurations, and is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment in which characters or the like are formed by cutting a solid area with a laser. For example, information such as characters may be formed by printing with an inkjet machine or the like, or by stamping or the like. That is, it is sufficient that the display unit 27 showing some information is formed, and the side surface of the article 2 on which the display unit 27 is provided does not have to be one, and may be multiple. When the display unit 27 is formed on multiple side surfaces, multiple partition members 3 may be provided. For example, they can be provided between the rows of the articles 2 and between the articles 2 and the side wall portion 12 of the storage box 1.

[0056] <4-5> 17 and 18, in order to prevent the display section 27 from being rubbed, a recess 29 may be formed in the side surface 23 of the article 2, and the display section 27 may be formed by printing in the recess 29. The recess 29 may be formed by embossing or the like to have an area smaller than that of the side surface 23, and the depth of the recess 29 from the side surface 23 may be, for example, 0.1 to 5.0 mm.
