[0028] 1. Box structure

[0029] Hereinafter, a box 1 will be described as an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, a state in which the box 1 is placed on a horizontal surface (not shown) such as a floor surface will be described, and the directions X1 and X2 along the horizontal surface will be referred to as the left direction and the right direction, respectively. Similar to the above, the directions Y1 and Y2 along the horizontal plane (directions perpendicular to the directions X1 and X2) will be referred to as the front and the back, respectively. In addition, the directions Z1 and Z2 perpendicular to the horizontal surface will be referred to as the top and the bottom, respectively. However, these directions are defined to explain the shapes and relative positional relationships of elements such as components and parts of the box 1, and do not limit the posture of the box 1 relative to the horizontal surface.

[0030] Figures 1A to 1C is a perspective view of box 1. Figure 1A The box 1 is depicted in a closed state, Figure 1B and Figure 1C The box 1 is depicted in an open state. Figure 2 is a bottom view of box 1 in a state where box 1 is closed, and Figure 3 It is along Figure 2 A cross-sectional view taken along line III-III depicted in FIG. Figure 3 The state where the article 2 is stored inside the box 1 is depicted. Figure 4 is a side view of the box 1. Figure 4 A state in which the box 1 is opened and the article 2 is stored inside the box 1 is depicted.

[0031] like Figure 1A As shown, in the closed state of the box 1, the box 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, items 2 such as electronic products are stored in the box 1. Figure 4 As depicted, the box 1 has a storage portion 20 in which the article 2 is stored and a cover portion 10 connected to the storage portion 20. Figure 1A and Figure 3 As shown, in the state where the box 1 is closed, the cover portion 10 covers the upper side of the storage portion 20. The cover portion 10 can be in a closed position (refer to Figure 1A ) and the open position of the storage portion 20 (refer to Figure 1C ). Figure 1B and Figure 1C As shown, in a state where the box 1 is placed on a horizontal surface such as a floor surface, the cover portion 10 can be moved at an angle θ2 (an angle greater than 90 degrees) greater than the angle θ1 (90 degrees). Thus, when the article 2 is stored in or taken out of the storage portion 20, the cover portion 10 can be prevented from interfering with the article 2. Figure 1B and Figure 1C , each of the angles θ1 and θ2 represents an angle formed by a straight line along an edge of a lower end (a first left wall portion 12L described later) of the cover portion 10 and a straight line along an edge of an upper end (a second left wall portion 22L described later) of the storage portion 20.

[0032] like Figure 1B , Figure 1C and Figure 3 As shown, a storage space S1 for storing at least a portion of the article 2 (the lower side of the article 2) is defined inside the storage portion 20. In addition, a storage space S2 for storing at least a portion of the article 2 (the upper side of the article 2) is also defined inside the cover portion 10. Figure 1B and Figure 1C As shown in FIG. 1 , in a state where the cover portion 10 is opened, the storage space S1 defined inside the storage portion 20 is exposed upward. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the height H1 of the storage space S1 defined inside the storage portion 20 in the vertical direction is lower than the height H2 of the article 2 in the vertical direction. Figure 4 As depicted, in the side view of the box 1 in the state where the cover portion 10 is opened, the upper side of the article 2 is exposed from the storage portion 20. As a result, it becomes easy to touch the right and left surfaces of the upper side of the article 2 accommodated in the storage portion 20 with fingers, and the article 2 can be easily taken out from the storage portion 20.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage portion 20 for storing the articles 2 has a plate-like bottom plate portion 21 at the lower end of the configuration box 1. Figure 1A As shown, the cover portion 10 covering the storage portion 10 has a plate-like top plate portion 11, which constitutes the upper end of the box 1 when the box 1 is closed. The cover portion 10 has a first peripheral wall portion 12 surrounding the top plate portion 11. The storage portion 20 has a second peripheral wall portion 22 surrounding the bottom plate portion 21. In the state where the cover portion 10 is closed, the first peripheral wall portion 12 of the cover portion 10 covers the outer surface of the second peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage portion 20.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom plate portion 21 is a square. Figure 1A As shown, the top plate portion 11 is also square. Figure 1B As depicted, the first peripheral wall portion 12 surrounding the top plate portion 11 has a first rear wall portion 12B, a first front wall portion 12F, a first left wall portion 12L, and a first right wall portion 12R. In the first peripheral wall portion 12, the first rear wall portion 12B and the first front wall portion 12F are separated from each other in the front-to-rear direction (a first direction perpendicular to the up-and-down direction), and the first left wall portion 12L and the first right wall portion 12R extend from the first rear wall portion 12B to the first front wall portion 12F. The first left wall portion 12L and the first right wall portion 12R are separated from each other in the left-to-right direction. In the present embodiment, the first rear wall portion 12B corresponds to the first side wall portion of the present disclosure, the first front wall portion 12F corresponds to the second side wall portion of the present disclosure, and the first left wall portion 12L or the first right wall portion 12R corresponds to the third side wall portion of the present disclosure. In addition, the second peripheral wall portion 22 surrounding the bottom plate portion 21 has a second rear wall portion 22B, a second front wall portion 22F, a second left wall portion 22L, and a second right wall portion 22R. In the second peripheral wall portion 22, the second rear wall portion 22B and the second front wall portion 22F are separated from each other in the front-rear direction, and the second left wall portion 22L and the second right wall portion 22R extend from the second rear wall portion 22B to the second front wall portion 22F. The second left wall portion 22L and the second right wall portion 22R are separated from each other in the left-right direction.

[0035] like Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 3 As shown, the height D2 in the up-down direction of the second peripheral wall portion 22 formed in the storage portion 20 is lower than the height D1 of the first peripheral wall portion 12 formed in the cover portion 10. In other words, the height D1 in the up-down direction of the first peripheral wall portion 12 is higher than the height D2 of the second peripheral wall portion 22. Figure 3 As shown, a storage space S2 for storing the upper side of the article 2 is defined inside the cover portion 10. With such a configuration, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, in a side view of the box 1 with the cover portion 10 opened, the articles 2 stored in the storage portion 20 can be exposed from the storage portion 20, and interference of the cover portion 10 with the articles 2 when the cover portion 10 is closed can be suppressed.

[0036] like Figure 1C and Figure 3As shown, the cover portion 10 has a supported surface 14A. When the cover portion 10 is closed, the supported surface 14A is arranged below the top plate portion 11 and is supported by the upper end of the second peripheral wall portion 22 formed in the storage portion 20. With such a configuration, when the cover portion 10 is closed, the cover portion 10 can be suppressed from sinking downward, and the external shape of the box 1 can be suppressed from deforming. In the cover portion 10, the supported surface 14A contacts the first front wall portion 12F (second side wall portion) and is formed on the inner side of the first front wall portion 12F. Therefore, the supported surface 14A is supported by the second front wall portion 22F formed on the front side of the second peripheral wall portion 22. As shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the sum of the distance D3 between the top plate portion 11 and the supported surface 14A in the up-down direction and the height D2 of the second front wall portion 22F is equal to the height D1 of the first front wall portion 12F. Therefore, in the state where the cover portion 10 is closed, the positions of the lower end of the cover portion 10 (more specifically, the first front wall portion 12F) and the lower end of the storage portion 20 (more specifically, the second front wall portion 22F) can be aligned.

[0037] like Figure 1C and Figure 3 As shown, the cover portion 10 has an inclined surface 15A extending obliquely upward and rearward (toward the direction of the first rear wall portion 12B) from the supported surface 14A. In addition, the cover portion 10 has a flat surface 16A extending rearward from the inclined surface 15A. Figure 3 In the example shown, the article 2 has the curved surface C over the entire area of ​​the upper end thereof, and in the state where the cover portion 10 is closed, the inclined surface 15A and the flat surface 16A face the curved surface C of the article 2. With such a configuration, when the box 1 is tilted, the article 2 can be pressed at least at two locations, the inclined surface 15A and the flat surface 16A.

[0038] like Figure 1B and Figure 3 As depicted, the storage portion 20 has a middle plate portion 23 that constitutes a bottom portion of the storage space S1. Figure 3 As depicted in FIG. 1 , the middle plate portion 23 is arranged along the bottom plate portion 21 and forms a space S3 with the bottom plate portion 21. Items such as instruction manuals and warranty cards may also be stored in the space S3.

Figure 5A In the development view of the external member 8 depicted in FIG, the outer wall portion 121B and the inner wall portion 122B of the first rear wall portion 12B are separated from each other in the front-rear direction. In the development view of the external member 8, the supported portion 14 in which the supported surface 14A is formed, the inclined portion 15 in which the inclined surface 15A is formed, and the flat portion 16 in which the flat surface 16A is formed are arranged between the outer wall portion 121B and the inner wall portion 122B. Figure 5A The back surface of the depicted flat plate-shaped box material defines a supported surface 14A, an inclined surface 15A, and a flat surface 16A.

[0045] In the first peripheral wall portion 12 of the cover portion 10, the first left wall portion 12L is formed by bending the inner wall portion 122L relative to the outer wall portion 121L. Thus, a gap is formed between the outer wall portion 121L and the inner wall portion 122L of the first left wall portion 12L. Similarly, a gap is also formed between the outer wall portion 121R and the inner wall portion 122R of the first right wall portion 12R. Figure 5AAs shown, the first rear wall portion 12B and the first front wall portion 12F have insertion portions 31L and 32L, respectively, which are inserted into the gap formed in the first left wall portion 12L.

The insertion portion 43R is inserted into the gap formed between the outer wall portion 221R and the inner wall portion 222R of the second right wall portion 22R. Therefore, as will be described later Figure 6G As depicted in , the inner member 9 can be attached to the outer member 8, and the relative positions of the second rear wall portion 22B, the second left wall portion 22L, and the second right wall portion 22R can be maintained.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the first peripheral wall portion 12 of the cover portion 10 is connected to the storage portion 20 by a fold. Figure 5AAs shown, the first rear wall portion 12B (more specifically, the outer wall portion 121B) forming the first peripheral wall portion 12 is connected to the storage portion 20 (more specifically, the bottom plate portion 21 configuring the storage portion 20) via a fold. In addition, the supported portion 14 in which the supported surface 14A supported by the second peripheral wall portion 22 (more specifically, the second front wall portion 22F) formed in the storage portion 20 is formed is connected to the inner wall portion 122F of the first front wall portion 12F (second side wall portion) formed in the cover portion 10 via a fold.

[0049] like Figure 5A As depicted in , in the storage portion 20, the outer wall portions 221F, 221L, and 221R are connected to the bottom plate portion 21 via folds. In addition, in the cover portion 10, the outer wall portions 121F, 121L, 121R, 121B are connected to the top plate portion 11 via folds. In the cover portion 10, the inclined portion 15 is connected to the supported portion 14 via folds, and the flat portion 16 is connected to the inclined portion 15 via folds. The inner wall portion 122B of the first rear wall portion 12B formed in the cover portion 10 is connected to the flat portion 16 via folds. Figure 5A In the development view of the exterior member 8 shown, the outer wall portion 121B of the first rear wall portion 12B is located at the front end of the cover portion 10 , and the inner wall portion 122B of the first rear wall portion 12B is located at the rear end of the cover portion 10 .

[0050] like Figure 5A As shown, the inner wall portions 222F, 222L and 222R formed in the storage portion 20 and the inner wall portion 122B formed in the cover portion 10 have anti-slip parts 51F, 51L, 51R and 51B, respectively, and the anti-slip parts 51F, 51L, 51R and 51B are connected to these parts through folds. The anti-slip parts 51F, 51L, 51R and 51B are in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 21, so that the inner wall portions 222F, 222L, 222R and 122B connected to their ends can be suppressed from moving (sliding) to the inside of the storage portion 20. In addition, the anti-slip parts 52L and 52R connected to the inclined portion 15 via the folds of the valley fold are formed at the left and right ends of the inclined portion 15, respectively. As shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the edges of the anti-slip members 52L and 52R abut on the top plate portion 11 and the first front wall portion 12F, so that the inclined portion 15 can be suppressed from moving (sliding) inside the cover portion 10 .

[0051] like Figure 5AAs shown, the inner wall portion 222L forming the second left wall portion 22L and the inner wall portion 222R forming the second right wall portion 22R have pressing members 54L and 54R at their front ends, respectively. The pressing members 54L and 54R push the insertion portions 43L and 43R of the inner member 9 accommodated in the gap of the second left wall portion 22L and the gap of the second right wall portion 22R, respectively, inward. Figure 5B , Fig. 6F and Figure 6G ). Thus, it is possible to suppress the inner member 9 from falling off from the outer member 8. In addition, adjustment members 55L and 55R for making the thickness of the second left wall portion 22L and the second right wall portion 22R uniform are provided at the rear ends of the inner wall portions 222L and 222R.

[0052] like Figure 5B As depicted, the middle plate portion 23 has support members 53F, 53L, and 53R connected to the front end, left end, and right end of the middle plate portion 23 via folds, respectively. Figure 3 As depicted in FIG. 1 , the support members 53F, 53L, and 53R are bent relative to the middle plate portion 23 so that the support members 53F, 53L, and 53R support the middle plate portion 23 and ensure a space S3 with the bottom plate portion 21. The widths (heights) E1, E2, and E3 of the support members 53F, 53L, and 53R are all equal. Figure 5B As shown, in the second rear wall portion 22B connected to the middle plate portion 23 via a fold, the width E4 of the outer wall portion 221B is greater than the width E5 of the inner wall portion 222B. The difference between the width E4 and the width E5 in the second rear wall portion 22B is equal to the widths E1, E2, E3 of the support members 53F, 53L, 53R. Thus, the middle plate portion 23 can be horizontally arranged inside the storage portion 20.

[0053] The insertion portions 31L, 31R formed in the first rear wall portion 12B of the cover portion 10 serve as movable portions that can move relative to the first left wall portion 12L or the first right wall portion 12R. Figures 1A to 1C As shown, the insertion portions 31L and 31R as movable portions are allowed to be in a first position in which they are integrally arranged in the gap of the first left wall portion 12L or the gap of the first right wall portion 12R (see Figure 1A and Figure 1B ) and a second position where a portion thereof is exposed from the gap of the first left wall portion 12L or the gap of the first right wall portion 12R (see Figure 1C ). Figure 1A As shown, when the cover portion 10 is in the closed position, the insertion portions 31L and 31R are in the first position, in which the insertion portions 31L and 31R are entirely arranged in the gap. Figure 1CAs shown in FIG. 1 , when the insertion portions 31L and 31R are in the second position where a portion thereof is exposed from the gap, the cover portion 10 is in the open position. As described above, by allowing the insertion portions 31L and 31R to move relative to the gap formed in the first left wall portion 12L and the gap formed in the first right wall portion 12R in the cover portion 10, the postures of the first left wall portion 12L and the first right wall portion 12R can be maintained while allowing the cover portion 10 to be opened and closed. In addition, as Figure 1C and Figure 5A As shown, the edges of the inserting portions 31L and 31R are formed into an arc shape so that the cover portion 10 can be inserted at an angle θ2 greater than 90 degrees (see Figure 1C )move.

[0054] 3. Assembly of the box

[0055] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G 1 and 1 are diagrams each illustrating a method of assembling the box 1. Figure 6A to Figure 6G In the figure, the slit K provided in the bottom plate portion 21 is omitted from illustration.

[0056] First, if Fig. 6A As shown, the box material of the flat plate-shaped external member 8 (see Figure 5A ), the insertion portions 31L and 31R are bent upward relative to the outer wall portion 121B. Similarly, the insertion portions 32L and 32R are bent upward relative to the outer wall portion 121F. In addition, the anti-slip members 52L and 52R are also bent upward relative to the inclined portion 15. Next, as Fig. 6A and Figure 6B As shown, the top plate portion 11 of the cover portion 10 is bent upward relative to the outer wall portion 121B, and the outer wall portion 121F is bent forward relative to the top plate portion 11.

[0057] Next, if Figure 6B and Figure 6C As shown, the outer wall portion 121L is bent forward relative to the top plate portion 11, and the inner wall portion 122L is bent backward relative to the outer wall portion 121L, thereby forming the first left wall portion 12L of the cover portion 10. In this step, the insertion portions 31L and 32L on the left side are accommodated in the gap formed between the outer wall portion 121L and the inner wall portion 122L (the gap formed in the first left wall portion 12L). Similarly, the outer wall portion 121R and the inner wall portion 122R are bent along the fold, thereby forming the first right wall portion 12R of the cover portion 10. In this step, the insertion portions 31R and 32R on the right side are accommodated in the gap formed between the outer wall portion 121R and the inner wall portion 122R (the gap formed in the first right wall portion 12R).

[0058] Next, if Figure 6C and Fig.6DAs depicted, the inner wall portion 122F is bent backward relative to the outer wall portion 121F, and the supported portion 14, the inclined portion 15, the flat portion 16, and the inner wall portion 122B are bent along the fold so that these portions and the anti-slip members 52L and 52R bent relative to the inclined portion 15 are accommodated inside the cover portion 10. Thus, a storage space S2 of the first front wall portion 12F, the first rear wall portion 12B, and the cover portion 10 is formed. Figure 6C As depicted in FIG. 1 , the anti-slip member 51B connected to the inner wall portion 122B via a fold is arranged outside the storage space S2 and in contact with the bottom plate portion 21 .

[0059] Next, if Fig.6D and Fig. 6E As shown, each of the outer wall portions 221L and 221R is bent upward relative to the bottom plate portion 21. Then, the insertion portions 41L and 41R are bent backward relative to the outer wall portions 221L and 221R, respectively. Fig. 6E and Fig. 6F As depicted, the outer wall portion 221F is bent upward relative to the bottom plate portion 21, and the inner wall portion 222F is bent downward relative to the outer wall portion 221F, so that the second front wall portion 22F of the storage portion 20 is formed. In this step, the insertion portions 41L, 41R positioned at the front side of the storage portion 20 are accommodated in the gap formed between the outer wall portion 221F and the inner wall portion 222F (the gap formed in the second front wall portion 22F). The anti-slip member 51F is bent inward relative to the inner wall portion 222F and abuts against the bottom plate portion 21.

[0060] Next, if Fig. 6F and Figure 6G As depicted, the pressing member 54L and the adjusting member 55L are bent relative to the inner wall portion 222L, and the inner wall portion 222L is bent downward relative to the outer wall portion 221L, so that the second left wall portion 22L of the storage portion 20 is formed. The pressing member 54L and the adjusting member 55L are accommodated in the gap formed between the outer wall portion 221L and the inner wall portion 222L (the gap formed in the second left wall portion 22L). Similarly, the pressing member 54R, the adjusting member 55R and the inner wall portion 222R are bent along the fold, so that the second right wall portion 22R of the storage portion 20 is formed. The anti-slip members 51L, 51R are bent inwardly relative to the inner wall portions 222L, 222R, and contact the bottom plate portion 21.

[0061] Next, the box material of the flat inner member 9 (see Figure 5B ) bends along the crease, thus forming Figure 6GThe inner member 9 is depicted. Finally, the insertion portions 43L, 43R of the inner member 9 are respectively inserted into the gap formed in the second left wall portion 22L and the gap formed in the second right wall portion 22R, so that the inner member 9 is attached to the outer member 8. Thus, the middle plate portion 23 and the second rear wall portion 22B are formed in the storage portion 20. Through the above steps, the box 1 can be assembled from a box material such as a plate-like cardboard or a corrugated cardboard.

[0062] The outer surface and the inner surface of the box 1 formed as described above are only composed of the insertion parts 31L and 31R as the movable parts. Figure 5A The back surface of the flat plate-shaped box material shown or Figure 5B In the cover part 10, the upper surface of the top plate part 11, the outer surface and the inner surface of the first peripheral wall part 12, and the supported surface 14A, the inclined surface 15A and the flat surface 16A on the back side of the cover part 10 are Figure 5A In the storage portion 20, the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 21 and the outer and inner surfaces of a portion of the second peripheral wall portion 22 (the second front wall portion 22F, the second left wall portion 22L, the second right wall portion 22R) are also Figure 5A In addition, in the storage portion 20, the upper surface of the intermediate plate portion 23 and the inner and outer surfaces of the second rear wall portion 22B of the second peripheral wall portion 22 are Figure 5B Thus, for example, in the case where the inner and outer surfaces of the box 1 are painted or coated, only one surface of the flat box material needs to be painted or coated, thus, the manufacturing cost of the box 1 can be reduced.

[0063] 4. Summary

[0064] As mentioned above, Figure 6G As depicted in FIG. 1 , the box 1 described in this embodiment is formed by combining an outer member 8 formed by bending a plate-like box material and an inner member 9 formed by bending a plate-like box material. Figures 1A to 1C As shown, the box 1 includes a storage portion 20 for storing articles 2 and a cover portion 10 for covering the upper side of the storage portion 20. The cover portion 10 has a top plate portion 11 and a first peripheral wall portion 12 surrounding the top plate portion 11, and the storage portion 20 has a bottom plate portion 21 and a second peripheral wall portion 22 surrounding the bottom plate portion 21. Figure 3 and Figure 5AAs shown, the first peripheral wall portion 12 has a first rear wall portion 12B connected to the bottom plate portion 21 via a fold. The height of the second peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage portion 20 is lower than the height of the first peripheral wall portion 12 of the cover portion 10, and the storage spaces S1 and S2 are formed inside the storage portion 20 and inside the cover portion 10, respectively. Thus, when the cover portion 10 is opened, the article 2 is not visible from the side of the box (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 4 ) is exposed from the storage part 20, and the item 2 can be easily taken out from the storage part 20.

[0065] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the cover portion 10 has a supported surface 14A, which is provided below the top plate portion 11 and supported by the upper end of the second peripheral wall portion 22 formed in the storage portion 20 when the cover portion 10 is closed. When the cover portion 10 is closed, the second peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage portion 20 supports the supported surface 14A of the cover portion 10, thereby suppressing the cover portion 10 from sinking downward relative to the storage portion 20 and suppressing the outer shape deformation of the box 1.

[0066] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Although the shape in the plan view of the box 1 described in the embodiment is a square, the shape in the plan view of the box 1 may be, for example, a polygon such as a triangle or a pentagon, or may have an arc portion. Even in this case, by making the height of the second peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage portion 20 lower than the height of the second peripheral wall portion 12 of the cover portion 10, it is possible to easily take out the article 2 from the inside of the storage portion 20. In addition, in the state where the cover portion 10 is closed, the supported surface 14A supported by the second peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage portion 20 is provided on the cover portion 10, so that the cover portion 10 can be suppressed from sinking downward relative to the storage portion 20.
