[0064] (The process of completing this disclosure)

[0065] Patent Document 1 discloses a packing box comprising a box body, multiple dividers, and cushioning blocks. In the packing box described in Patent Document 1, the user can adjust the storage space by changing the configuration of multiple dividers and cushioning blocks for each item that is being packed, which are of different sizes.

[0066] However, the multiple dividers and buffer blocks are separate components. When storing objects of different sizes inside the box, users need to change the combination of the multiple dividers and the position of the buffer blocks according to the size of each object. Therefore, there is a problem that the space for storing objects cannot be easily adjusted.

[0067] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors have studied a buffer that can easily adjust the space for storing objects and a whiteboard that can assemble the buffer, thereby completing this disclosure.

[0068] Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in the drawings, the elements are exaggerated for ease of explanation.

[0069] (Implementation Method 1)

[0070] The whiteboard in this embodiment can be assembled by bending. This buffer can be adjusted to accommodate objects of different sizes. For example, the object could be an electronic device, such as a computer.

[0071] Figure 1 This is a top view of an example of whiteboard 1A in Embodiment 1. Figures 2-4 It is by... Figure 1 The diagram shows a three-dimensional view of a buffer component 2A assembled by bending a whiteboard 1A. In the diagram, the X and Y axes represent the horizontal direction, and the Z direction represents the vertical direction. The first direction Z1 and the second direction Z2 are parallel to the Z-axis. The third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2 are parallel to the X-axis. The fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2 are parallel to the Y-axis.

[0072] (Whiteboard)

[0073] Figure 1 The whiteboard 1A shown is assembled by bending. Figures 2-4 The buffer 2A is shown. The whiteboard 1A is assembled by bending along the fold line 61 or the slit 65. Figure 1 The illustration of whiteboard 1A shows the inner surface side. The fold line 61 of whiteboard 1A can be a groove formed by pressing the surface of whiteboard 1A along the line, or it can be a discontinuous cut formed on the groove line. For example, whiteboard 1A can also be made of corrugated paper.

[0074] (Buffer)

[0075] The buffer component 2A, which is assembled by bending the whiteboard 1A, will be described.

[0076] Figure 5 It is Figure 3 The enlarged schematic cross-sectional view of the buffer 2A shown is obtained by cutting along line AA. Figure 6 It is Figure 4 The enlarged schematic cross-sectional view of the buffer 2A shown is obtained by cutting along line BB. Figure 7 It is Figure 3The enlarged schematic diagram is obtained by cutting the buffer 2A along line CC.

[0077] like Figure 3 or Figure 5 As shown, the buffer member 2A includes a base 4A, a first sidewall portion 5A, a second sidewall portion 6A, a third sidewall portion 7A, a fourth sidewall portion 8A, a first adjustment portion 21A, and a first support portion 41A. Additionally, as... Figure 2 , Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown, the buffer member 2A includes a cover portion 10A, a second adjustment portion 22A, a plurality of third adjustment portions 23A, a fourth adjustment portion 24A, a second support portion 42A, and a plurality of third support portions 43A. Furthermore, the buffer member 2A includes a first inner sidewall portion 51, a second inner sidewall portion 52, a third inner sidewall portion 53, and a fourth inner sidewall portion 54.

[0078] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the buffer member 2A has an inner space for storing objects. The buffer member 2A has an opening. The opening of the buffer member 2A is defined by the first side wall portion 5A, the second side wall portion 6A, the third side wall portion 7A, and the fourth side wall portion 8A.

[0079] The base 4A has a first main surface 81 and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface 81. When viewed from the second main surface toward the first main surface 81 in a second direction Z2 opposite to the first direction Z1, the base 4A has a rectangular shape. An object is disposed on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A. The base 4A has a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, a third end intersecting the first end, and a fourth end opposite to the third end.

[0080] The first sidewall portion 5A extends from the first end of the base portion 4A in the first direction Z1. When viewed from the third direction X1 from the first end toward the second end, the first sidewall portion 5A has a rectangular shape. The first sidewall portion 5A has a length H1 in the first direction Z1. The first sidewall portion 5A has a length L11 in the fifth direction Y1.

[0081] The second sidewall portion 6A extends from the second end of the base portion 4A in the first direction Z1. When viewed from the fourth direction X2, which is opposite to the third direction X1, the second sidewall portion 6A has a rectangular shape. The second sidewall portion 6A has a length H1 in the first direction Z1. The second sidewall portion 6A has a length L11 in the fifth direction Y1.

[0082] The third sidewall portion 7A extends from the third end of the base portion 4A in the first direction Z1. The third sidewall portion 7A includes a portion having a length H1 and a portion having a length H2 in the first direction Z1. The length H1 is longer than the length H2. The third sidewall portion 7A has a length L1 in the third direction X1.

[0083] The fourth sidewall portion 8A extends from the fourth end of the base 4A in the first direction Z1. When viewed from the sixth direction Y2, which is opposite to the fifth direction Y1, the fourth sidewall portion 8A has a rectangular shape. The fourth sidewall portion 8A has a length H1 in the first direction Z1. The fourth sidewall portion 8A has a length L1 in the third direction X1.

[0084] The cover 10A is configured to open and close the opening of the buffer member 2A. The cover 10A is connected to the third side wall portion 7A. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, with the cover 10A closed, the cover 10A bends from the third side wall 7A in the fifth direction Y1. Figure 7 As shown, the cover portion 10A has a through hole 71 at a position away from the third side wall portion 7A in the direction toward the fifth direction Y1.

[0085] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A adjust the space available for storing objects in the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2 of the space inside the buffer member 2A.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, the first adjustment portion 21A is formed by a portion of the base portion 4A and a portion of the first sidewall portion 5A. The first adjustment portion 21A can be deformed into a first state and a second state. The first state is that the first adjustment portion 21A is not bent at a position away from the first sidewall portion 5A in a third direction X1 from the first end to the second end. The second state is that the first adjustment portion 21A is bent from the base portion 4A in a first direction Z1.

[0087] like Figure 5 As shown, in the second state, the first adjustment part 21A is formed by bending a portion of the base part 4A in the first direction Z1 and a second part 32 by bending a portion of the first sidewall part 5A in the third direction X1. The first part 31 and the second part 32 are connected.

[0088] In the second state, the first portion 31 of the first adjustment part 21A bends at a 90-degree angle from the base 4A toward the first direction Z1. In the second state, the second portion 32 of the first adjustment part 21A bends at a 90-degree angle from the first sidewall portion 5A toward the third direction X1. When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, when viewed along the fifth direction Y1 of the first sidewall portion 5A, the first adjustment part 21A has an inverted L-shape.

[0089] When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, the length H3 of the first adjustment part 21A in the first direction Z1 is smaller than the length H1 of the first sidewall part 5A in the first direction Z1. When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, the length L12 of the first adjustment part 21A in the fifth direction Y1 is longer than the length L2 of the first adjustment part 21A in the third direction X1. The length H3 of the first adjustment part 21A in the first direction Z1 and the length L2 of the first adjustment part 21A in the third direction X1 are the same length.

[0090] like Figure 2 As shown, the second adjustment portion 22A is formed from a portion of the base portion 4A and a portion of the second sidewall portion 6A. The second adjustment portion 22A has the same structure as the first adjustment portion 21A. The second adjustment portion 22A differs from the first adjustment portion 21A in that it is positioned differently and is formed from a portion of the base portion 4A and a portion of the second sidewall portion 6A.

[0091] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second adjustment part 22A can be deformed into a third state and a fourth state. The third state is when the second adjustment part 22A is not bent at a position away from the second sidewall part 6A in the fourth direction X2, which is opposite to the third direction X1. The fourth state is when the second adjustment part 22A is bent from the base 4A toward the first direction Z1 at a position away from the second sidewall part 6A in the fourth direction X2.

[0092] In its fourth state, the second adjustment section 22A is formed by a third section 33, which is formed by bending a portion of the base 4A in the first direction Z1, and a fourth section 34, which is formed by bending a portion of the second sidewall section 6A in the fourth direction X2. The third section 33 and the fourth section 34 are connected. When the second adjustment section 22A is in its fourth state, the third section 33 is bent at 90 degrees from the base 4A in the first direction Z1, and the fourth section 34 is bent at 90 degrees from the second sidewall section 6A in the fourth direction X2. When the second adjustment section 22A is in its fourth state, when viewed from the fifth direction Y1 along the second sidewall section 6A, the second adjustment section 22A has an inverted L-shape.

[0093] The second adjustment part 22A is positioned opposite the first adjustment part 21A. When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state and the second adjustment part 22A is in the fourth state, the first part 31 of the first adjustment part 21A and the third part 33 of the second adjustment part 22A have mutually facing surfaces.

[0094] When the first adjustment part 21A is in the first state and the second adjustment part 22A is in the third state, a first space S1 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A. For example... Figure 2As shown, the first space S1 is defined between the first sidewall portion 5A and the second sidewall portion 6A on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A. The first space S1 has a length in the third direction X1 from the first inner sidewall portion 51 to the second inner sidewall portion 52.

[0095] When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state and the second adjustment part 22A is in the fourth state, a second space S2 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the second space S2 is defined between the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A. The second space S2 is smaller than the first space S1. The second space S2 is smaller than the first space S1 by an amount corresponding to the length L2 in the third direction X1 of the first adjustment part 21A and the length L3 in the fourth direction X2 of the second adjustment part 22A.

[0096] It should be noted that, alternatively, when the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state and the second adjustment part 22A is in the third state, a third space S3 can be defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the third space S3 can be defined between the first adjustment part 21A and the second sidewall part 6A. The third space S3 is smaller than the first space S1. The difference between the third space S3 and the first space S1 is equal to the length L2 of the first adjustment part 21A in the third direction X1. The third space S3 is larger than the second space S2. The difference between the third space S3 and the second space S2 is equal to the length L3 of the second adjustment part 22A in the fourth direction X2.

[0097] Multiple third adjustment sections 23A adjust the internal space of the buffer member 2A in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2. The third adjustment section 23A has the same structure as the first adjustment section 21A. The third adjustment section 23A differs from the first adjustment section 21A in that it is positioned differently and is formed by a part of the base 4A and a part of the third sidewall section 7A.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of third adjustment portions 23A are arranged at intervals along the third sidewall portion 7A. The plurality of third adjustment portions 23A are formed from a portion of the base 4A and a portion of the third sidewall portion 7A. The plurality of third adjustment portions 23A can be deformed into a fifth state and a sixth state, respectively. The fifth state is a state in which the plurality of third adjustment portions 23A are not bent away from the third sidewall portion 7A in a fifth direction Y1 from the third end of the base 4A toward the fourth end. The sixth state is a state in which the plurality of third adjustment portions 23A are bent from the base 4A toward a first direction Z1 in a position away from the third sidewall portion 7A in the fifth direction Y1.

[0099] like Figure 6As shown, the third adjustment portion 23A in its sixth state is formed by a fifth portion 35, which is formed by bending a portion of the base 4A in the first direction Z1, and a sixth portion 36, which is formed by bending a portion of the third sidewall portion 7A in the fifth direction Y1. The fifth portion 35 and the sixth portion 36 are connected. In the sixth state, the fifth portion 35 is bent at 90 degrees from the base 4A in the first direction Z1, and the sixth portion 36 is bent at 90 degrees from the third sidewall portion 7A in the fifth direction Y1. When the third adjustment portion 23A is in its sixth state, when viewed from the third direction X1 along the third sidewall portion 7A, the third adjustment portion 23A has an inverted L-shape.

[0100] Although the third adjustment part 23A has the same structure as the first adjustment part 21A, the third adjustment part 23A is smaller than the first adjustment part 21A. For example... Figure 6 As shown, when the third adjustment section 23A is in the sixth state, the length H4 of the third adjustment section 23A in the first direction Z1 is shorter than the length H2 of the third side wall section 7A.

[0101] When the third adjustment section 23A is in the fifth state, a fourth space S4 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the third side wall section 7A and the fourth side wall section 8A. The fourth space S4 has a length from the third inner side wall section 53 to the fourth inner side wall section 54 in the fifth direction Y1.

[0102] When the third adjustment section 23A is in the sixth state, a fifth space S5, smaller than the fourth space S4, is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the fourth side wall section 8A and the third adjustment section 23A. The fifth space S5 is smaller than the fourth space S4 by an amount corresponding to the length L13 of the plurality of third adjustment sections 23A in the fifth direction Y1.

[0103] The fourth adjustment part 24A adjusts the internal space of the buffer member 2A in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2. The fourth adjustment part 24A is formed from a portion of the base 4A. The fourth adjustment part 24A can be deformed into a seventh state and an eighth state. The seventh state is when the fourth adjustment part 24A is not bent at a position away from the third sidewall part 7A in the fifth direction Y1. The eighth state is when the fourth adjustment part 24A is bent in the first direction Z1 at a position away from the third sidewall part 7A in the fifth direction Y1. Figure 7As shown, in the eighth state, the fourth adjustment part 24A is bent at 90 degrees from the base 4A toward the first direction Z1. When the fourth adjustment part 24A is in the eighth state, viewed from the fourth direction X2, the fourth adjustment part 24A has an inverted L-shape. The fourth adjustment part 24A has an insertion piece 75. In the eighth state, the fourth adjustment part 24A is inserted into the through hole 71 of the cover part 10A. When the fourth adjustment part 24A is in the eighth state and the cover part 10A is closed, a portion of the fourth adjustment part 24A is inserted into the through hole 71. When the fourth adjustment part 24A is in the eighth state and the cover part 10A is closed, the insertion piece 75 of the fourth adjustment part 24A is inserted into the through hole 71.

[0104] When the fourth adjustment section 24A is in the eighth state, a sixth space S6, which is smaller than the fourth space S4, is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the fourth side wall section 8A and the fourth adjustment section 24A.

[0105] like Figure 5 As shown, when the first adjusting portion 21A is in the second state, the first supporting portion 41A supports the first adjusting portion 21A. The first supporting portion 41A is formed from a portion of the first sidewall portion 5A. The first supporting portion 41A is connected to the first adjusting portion 21A. The first supporting portion 41A is connected to the second portion 32 of the first adjusting portion 21A. In the second state, the first supporting portion 41A is bent in the second direction Z2 from its connection portion with the second portion 32 of the first adjusting portion 21A. In the second state, the first supporting portion 41A is in contact with the base portion 4A.

[0106] When the second adjustment part 22A is in the fourth state, the second support part 42A supports the second adjustment part 22A. The second support part 42A supports the second adjustment part 22A through... Figure 5 The second adjusting part 22A is supported by the same structure as the first supporting part 41A shown. Figure 2 As shown, the second support portion 42A is formed from a portion of the second sidewall portion 6A. The second support portion 42A is connected to the second adjustment portion 22A. The second support portion 42A is connected to the fourth portion 34 of the second adjustment portion 22A. In the fourth state, the second support portion 42A is bent in the second direction Z2 from its connection portion with the fourth portion 34 of the second adjustment portion 22A. In the fourth state, the second support portion 42A is in contact with the base portion 4A.

[0107] like Figure 6 As shown, when the plurality of third adjustment portions 23A are in the sixth state, the plurality of third support portions 43A each support the plurality of third adjustment portions 23A. The plurality of third support portions 43A are formed from a portion of the third sidewall portion 7A. The plurality of third support portions 43A are connected to the third adjustment portions 23A. The plurality of third support portions 43A are each connected to the sixth portion 36 of each of the plurality of third adjustment portions 23A. In the sixth state, the third support portion 43A is in contact with the base portion 4A.

[0108] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first inner sidewall portion 51 is located inside the first sidewall portion 5A and outside the first adjustment portion 21A. The first inner sidewall portion 51 has a cutout 55 into which the first support portion 41A can be inserted.

[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, with the whiteboard 1A assembled, the second inner sidewall portion 52 is located further inward than the second sidewall portion 6A and further outward than the second adjustment portion 22A. Similar to the first inner sidewall portion 51 having a cutout 55, the second inner sidewall portion 52 has a cutout into which the second support portion 42A can be inserted.

[0110] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the third inner sidewall portion 53 is located inside the third sidewall portion 7A and outside the third adjustment portion 23A.

[0111] The fourth inner wall portion 54 is located on the inner side of the fourth side wall portion 8A.

[0112] The method of storing the object in the buffer 2A in this embodiment will be described.

[0113] Figure 8 It is stored in Figure 2 A top view of the first electronic device 91 of the buffer 2A shown.

Figures 8-10 As shown, the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, and the third electronic device 93 each have a rectangular shape. For example, the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, and the third electronic device 93 are all computers. The first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, and the third electronic device 93 have different sizes.

[0115] The method of storing an object in the buffer 2A includes the steps of adjusting the internal space of the buffer 2A and storing the object in the adjusted internal space of the buffer 2A.

[0116] The steps for adjusting the internal space of the buffer 2A are explained.

[0117] The internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted to accommodate the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93. The internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted to accommodate the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93 via the first adjustment part 21A, the second adjustment part 22A, the third adjustment part 23A, and the fourth adjustment part 24A, respectively. The internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted to the size of the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93.

[0118] like Figure 8 As shown, the dimensions of the first space S1 are approximately the same as those of the first electronic device 91 in the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2. The dimensions of the fourth space S4 are approximately the same as those of the first electronic device 91 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2. "Approximately" means including an error of more than 5% and less than 10%, which is the error caused by the increase in the internal space of the buffer 2A.

[0119] In order to house the first electronic device 91 within the buffer member 2A, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted into a first space S1 and a fourth space S4. By setting the first adjustment part 21A to a first state and the second adjustment part 22A to a third state, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted to the first space S1. By setting the third adjustment part 23A to a fifth state and the fourth adjustment part 24A to a seventh state, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted to the fourth space S4. In other words, by preventing the first adjustment part 21A, the second adjustment part 22A, the third adjustment part 23A, and the fourth adjustment part 24A from bending in the first direction Z1, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted to the first space S1 and the fourth space S4.

[0120] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the second electronic device 92 differs from the first electronic device 91 in the lengths of the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2, and the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2. The lengths of the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2, and the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2 of the second electronic device 92 are smaller than those of the first electronic device 91.

[0121] like Figure 9As shown, the dimensions of the second space S2 are approximately the same as those of the second electronic device 92 in the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2. The dimensions of the sixth space S6 are approximately the same as those of the second electronic device 92 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2.

[0122] In order to house the second electronic device 92 within the buffer 2A, the internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted to a second space S2 and a sixth space S6.

[0123] The internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted from a first space S1 to a second space S2 by means of the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A. The internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted from the first space S1 to the second space S2 by deforming the first adjustment part 21A from a first state to a second state and by deforming the second adjustment part 22A from a third state to a fourth state. That is, by bending the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A in the first direction Z1, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted to the second space S2.

[0124] Furthermore, when the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state and the second adjustment part 22A is in the fourth state, the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A are supported by the first support part 41A and the second support part 42A, respectively. By supporting the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A by the first support part 41A and the second support part 42A, the internal space of the buffer member 2A after adjustment by the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A, i.e., the second space S2, can be maintained.

[0125] The internal space of the buffer member 2A is adjusted from the fourth space S4 to the sixth space S6 by the fourth adjustment part 24A. The internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted from the fourth space S4 to the sixth space S6 by deforming the fourth adjustment part 24A from the seventh state to the eighth state. That is, by bending the fourth adjustment part 24A in the first direction Z1, the internal space of the buffer member 2A is adjusted to the sixth space S6.

[0126] When the fourth adjustment section 24A is in the eighth state, by closing the cover section 10A, the insertion piece 75 of the fourth adjustment section 24A is inserted into the through hole 71 of the cover section 10A. By inserting the insertion piece 75 into the through hole 71, the fourth adjustment section 24A can maintain its bent state in the first direction Z1. That is, by inserting the insertion piece 75 into the through hole 71, the internal space of the buffer member 2A after adjustment by the fourth adjustment section 24A, i.e., the sixth space S6, can be maintained.

[0127] like Figures 8-10 As shown, the third electronic device 93 differs from the first electronic device 91 and the second electronic device 92 in its length in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2. For example... Figure 8and Figure 10 As shown, the lengths of the third electronic device 93 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2 are smaller than the lengths of the first electronic device 91 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the lengths of the third electronic device 93 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2 are greater than the lengths of the second electronic device 92 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2.

[0128] like Figure 10 As shown, the dimensions of the first space S1 are approximately the same as those of the third electronic device 93 in the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2. The dimensions of the fifth space S5 are approximately the same as those of the third electronic device 93 in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2.

[0129] In order to house the third electronic device 93 within the space inside the buffer 2A, the space inside the buffer 2A can be adjusted to a first space S1 and a fifth space S5.

[0130] The internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted from the fourth space S4 to the fifth space S5 via the third adjustment part 23A. The internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted from the fourth space S4 to the fifth space S5 by deforming the third adjustment part 23A from the fifth state to the sixth state. That is, by bending the third adjustment part 23A in the first direction Z1, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted to the fifth space S5.

[0131] Furthermore, when the third adjustment section 23A is in the sixth state, the third adjustment section 23A is supported by the third support section 43A. Since the third support section 43A supports the third adjustment section 23A, the internal space of the buffer member 2A after adjustment by the third adjustment section 23A, namely the fifth space S5, can be maintained.

[0132] After the step of adjusting the internal space of the buffer 2A is completed, the step of storing the object inside the adjusted internal space of the buffer 2A is performed. In the step of storing the object inside the adjusted internal space of the buffer 2A, the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93 can be stored inside the internal space of the buffer 2A.

[0133] The effect of the whiteboard 1A in this embodiment will be explained.

[0134] The buffer 2A is assembled from the whiteboard 1A by bending. The buffer 2A assembled from the whiteboard 1A includes a base 4A, a first sidewall portion 5A, a second sidewall portion 6A, a first adjustment portion 21A, and a first support portion 41A. The base 4A has a first main surface 81 and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface 81. The base 4A has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first sidewall portion 5A extends from the first end of the base 4A in a first direction Z1 from the second main surface toward the first main surface 81. The second sidewall portion 6A extends from the second end of the base 4A in the first direction Z1. The first adjustment portion 21A is formed from a portion of the base 4A. The first adjustment portion 21A can be deformed into a first state in which it does not bend at a position away from the first sidewall portion 5A in a third direction X1 from the first end toward the second end, and a second state in which it bends in the first direction Z1 at that position. When the first adjustment portion 21A is in the second state, the first support portion 41A supports the first adjustment portion 21A. When the first adjustment part 21A is in the first state, a first space S1 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the first side wall part 5A and the second side wall part 6A. When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, a third space S3 smaller than the first space S1 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the first adjustment part 21A and the second side wall part 6A.

[0135] With this structure, the whiteboard 1A can be assembled with a buffer member 2A whose space for storing objects can be easily adjusted. The buffer member 2A can be adjusted from a first space S1 to a third space S3 by bending the first adjustment part 21A. Therefore, the buffer member 2A can be easily adjusted to accommodate objects of different sizes by means of the first adjustment part 21A.

[0136] Furthermore, when the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, it is supported by the first support part 41A, thereby maintaining its bent state in the first direction Z1. By maintaining the first adjustment part 21A in its bent state in the first direction Z1, the third space S3 adjusted by the first adjustment part 21A can be maintained. Therefore, objects stored in the third space S3 can be stored in a buffered state based on the buffer member 2A.

[0137] The buffer member 2A assembled from the whiteboard 1A also includes a second adjustment portion 22A and a second support portion 42A. The second adjustment portion 22A is formed from a part of the base portion 4A. The second adjustment portion 22A can be deformed into a third state in which it does not bend at a position away from the second sidewall portion 6A in a fourth direction X2 opposite to the third direction X1, and a fourth state in which it bends in a first direction Z1 at that position. When the second adjustment portion 22A is in the fourth state, the second support portion 42A supports the second adjustment portion 22A. When the first adjustment portion 21A is in the second state and the second adjustment portion 22A is in the third state, a second space S2 smaller than the third space S3 is defined between the first adjustment portion 21A and the second adjustment portion 22A on the first main surface 81 of the base portion 4A.

[0138] With this structure, the whiteboard 1A can be assembled with a buffer member 2A whose space for storing objects can be easily adjusted. The buffer member 2A can be adjusted from a first space S1 to a second space S2 by bending the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A. Therefore, the buffer member 2A can be easily adjusted to accommodate objects of different sizes via the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A.

[0139] Furthermore, when the second adjustment section 22A is in the fourth state, the second adjustment section 22A is supported by the second support section 42A, thereby maintaining its bent state in the first direction Z1. By maintaining the second adjustment section 22A in its bent state in the first direction Z1, the space adjusted by the second adjustment section 22A can be maintained.

[0140] When the size difference between objects of different sizes is large, the internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted by using the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A, thereby reducing the size of the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A. Since the size of the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A can be reduced, it is easier to bend the first adjustment part 21A and the second adjustment part 22A in the first direction Z1.

[0141] When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, the first adjustment part 21A is bent at 90 degrees from the base 4A.

[0142] With this structure, objects can be easily stored in the space inside the buffer 2A after being adjusted by the first adjustment part 21A, and the first adjustment part 21A can easily maintain the second state.

[0143] The base 4A also has a third end that intersects with the first end and a fourth end that opposes the third end. The buffer 2A assembled from the whiteboard 1A also includes a third sidewall portion 7A, a fourth sidewall portion 8A, a third adjustment portion 23A, and a third support portion 43A. The third sidewall portion 7A extends from the third end of the base 4A in a first direction Z1. The fourth sidewall portion 8A extends from the fourth end of the base 4A in a first direction Z1. The third adjustment portion 23A is formed from a portion of the base 4A. The third adjustment portion 23A can be deformed into a fifth state in which it does not bend away from the third sidewall portion 7A in a fifth direction Y1 from the third end of the base 4A toward the fourth end, and a sixth state in which it bends in the first direction Z1 at that position. When the plurality of third adjustment portions 23A are in the fifth state, a fourth space S4 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the third sidewall portion 7A and the fourth sidewall portion 8A. When the multiple third adjustment parts 23A are in the sixth state, a fifth space S5 smaller than the fourth space S4 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the fourth side wall part 8A and the multiple third adjustment parts 23A.

[0144] With this structure, the whiteboard 1A can be assembled with a buffer member 2A whose space for storing objects can be easily adjusted. The internal space of the buffer member 2A can be adjusted from the fourth space S4 to the fifth space S5 by bending the third adjustment part 23A. Therefore, the internal space of the buffer member 2A for storing objects of different sizes can be easily adjusted via the third adjustment part 23A.

[0145] Furthermore, when the third adjustment section 23A is in the sixth state, the third adjustment section 23A can be maintained in a bent state in the first direction Z1 by being supported by the third support section 43A. By maintaining the third adjustment section 23A in a bent state in the first direction Z1, the space adjusted by the third adjustment section 23A can be maintained.

[0146] The buffer 2A assembled from the whiteboard 1A also includes a first inner sidewall portion 51, which is located inside the first sidewall portion 5A and outside the first adjustment portion 21A. The first inner sidewall portion 51 has a cutout 55 into which the first support portion 41A can be inserted.

[0147] With this structure, the impact from the outside of the buffer member 2A can be mitigated on the inside. That is, when an object is placed on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A of the buffer member 2A, when the buffer member 2A is impacted from the outside, the first inner wall portion 51 can mitigate the impact transmitted to the object.

[0148] Furthermore, by inserting the first support portion 41A into the cutout 55 of the first inner sidewall portion 51, the first support portion 41A can more easily support the first adjustment portion 21A when the first adjustment portion 21A is in the second state.

[0149] A portion of the first adjustment portion 21A is formed by the first sidewall portion 5A. In the second state, the first adjustment portion 21A is formed by a first portion 31 formed by bending a portion of the base portion 4A in the first direction Z1 and a second portion 32 formed by bending a portion of the first sidewall portion 5A in the third direction X1.

[0150] With this structure, the whiteboard 1A can be assembled with a buffer member 2A that allows for easy adjustment of the space for storing objects. The first adjustment part 21A, having a first portion 31 and a second portion 32, is easier to bend. Furthermore, the first adjustment part 21A, having a first portion 31 and a second portion 32, easily maintains a bent state in the first direction Z1. That is, the internal space of the adjusted buffer member 2A can be maintained through the first adjustment part 21A.

[0151] The first support portion 41A is formed from a portion of the first sidewall portion 5A. The first support portion 41A is connected to a plurality of first adjustment portions 21A.

[0152] With this structure, when the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, the first support part 41A can support the first adjustment part 21A more stably. Moreover, by stably supporting the first adjustment part 21A, the first adjustment part 21A can maintain the internal space of the adjusted buffer member 2A.

[0153] When one or more first adjustment parts 21A are in the second state, when viewed from the fifth direction Y1 along the first sidewall part 5A, one or more first adjustment parts 21A have an inverted L-shape.

[0154] This structure allows the object to be more stably contained within the buffer 2A.

[0155] When one or more first adjustment parts 21A are in the second state, the length of the first adjustment part 21A in the fifth direction Y1 is longer than the length of the first adjustment part 21A in the third direction X1.

[0156] By making the length of the first adjustment part 21A in the fifth direction Y1 longer than its length in the third direction X1, the first adjustment part 21A is less likely to deform in the fourth direction X2 even if it is subjected to a force in the fourth direction X2 due to an object housed in the buffer member 2A. Therefore, when the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, it can maintain the second state more stably.

[0157] The buffer 2A assembled from the whiteboard 1A also includes a fourth adjustment portion 24A and a cover portion 10A. The fourth adjustment portion 24A is formed from a part of the base 4A. The fourth adjustment portion 24A can be deformed into a seventh state in which it does not bend at a position away from the third sidewall portion 7A in the fifth direction Y1, and an eighth state in which it bends in the first direction Z1 at that position. The cover portion 10A can be opened and closed, and has a through hole 71 for insertion of the fourth adjustment portion 24A when it is in the eighth state. When the fourth adjustment portion 24A is in the eighth state, a sixth space S6 smaller than the first space S1 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4A between the fourth sidewall portion 8A and the fourth adjustment portion 24A. When the fourth adjustment portion 24A is in the eighth state and the cover portion 10A is closed, a part of the fourth adjustment portion 24A is inserted into the through hole 71.

[0158] With this structure, the whiteboard 1A can be assembled with a buffer member 2A whose space for storing objects can be easily adjusted. The buffer member 2A can be adjusted from the fourth space S4 to the sixth space S6 by bending the fourth adjustment part 24A. Therefore, the buffer member 2A can be easily adjusted via the fourth adjustment part 24A to accommodate objects of different sizes.

[0159] Furthermore, when the fourth adjustment section 24A is in the eighth state and the cover 10A is closed, by inserting a portion of the fourth adjustment section 24A into the through hole 71 of the cover 10A, the fourth adjustment section 24A is maintained in a bent state in the first direction Z1. Therefore, the object can be stored in the buffer member 2A while maintaining the sixth space S6.

[0160] The buffer 2A is assembled by bending the aforementioned whiteboard 1A.

[0161] With this structure, the space for storing objects can be easily adjusted in the buffer 2A. Furthermore, the internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted using only the whiteboard 1A. Additionally, the internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted by bending. Therefore, the need for other components to adjust the internal space of the buffer 2A can be eliminated.

[0162] The storage method is a method of storing an object in the aforementioned buffer member 2A. The storage method includes the steps of adjusting the internal space of the buffer member 2A and storing the object in the adjusted internal space of the buffer member 2A. In the step of adjusting the internal space of the buffer member 2A, the internal space of the buffer member 2A is adjusted by deforming the first adjustment part 21A into a first state or a second state.

[0163] By housing an object within the buffer 2A, the object can mitigate impacts from the outside of the buffer 2A. For example, by housing an electronic device within the buffer 2A, the electronic device can mitigate impacts from the outside of the buffer 2A.

[0164] Furthermore, this storage method allows multiple objects of different sizes to be stored separately within the space of the buffer 2A, which is adjusted accordingly for each object. By storing multiple objects of different sizes within the adjusted space of the buffer 2A, impacts received from the outside of the buffer 2A can be buffered.

[0165] For example, the object is an electronic device, and multiple electronic devices are a first electronic device 91, a second electronic device 92, or a third electronic device 93. The first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, and the third electronic device 93 each have different dimensions. The internal space of the buffer 2A can be adjusted to accommodate the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93. The first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93 are housed within the adjusted internal space of the buffer 2A, thereby mitigating the impact received by the first electronic device 91, the second electronic device 92, or the third electronic device 93 from the outside of the buffer 2A.

[0166] It should be noted that although the object is described as an electronic device in this embodiment, the object may not be an electronic device.

[0167] It should be noted that although it is stated that Whiteboard 1A is made of corrugated paper, it is not limited to this. For example, Whiteboard 1A can also be made of thick paper, film, etc.

[0168] It should be noted that the whiteboard 1A includes a third sidewall portion 7A, a fourth sidewall portion 8A, a cover portion 10A, a second adjustment portion 22A, a third adjustment portion 23A, a fourth adjustment portion 24A, a second support portion 42A, and a third support portion 43A, but is not limited thereto. For example, the whiteboard 1A may not include the third sidewall portion 7A, the fourth sidewall portion 8A, the cover portion 10A, the second adjustment portion 22A, the third adjustment portion 23A, the fourth adjustment portion 24A, the second support portion 42A, and the third support portion 43A.

[0169] It should be noted that although it is stated that the base 4A is rectangular when viewed from the second direction Z2, the base 4A may not be rectangular when viewed from the second direction Z2.

[0170] It should be noted that although it is stated that the first sidewall portion 5A has a rectangular shape when viewed from a third direction X1, the first sidewall portion 5A may not be rectangular when viewed from a third direction X1.

[0171] It should be noted that although it is stated that the second sidewall portion 6A has a rectangular shape when viewed from the fourth direction X2, the second sidewall portion 6A may not be rectangular when viewed from the fourth direction X2.

[0172] It should be noted that although it is stated that the cover portion 10A is connected to the third side wall portion 7A, it is not limited to this. For example, the cover portion 10A may also be connected to the fourth side wall portion 8A.

[0173] It should be noted that although it is described that the first adjustment part 21A, the second adjustment part 22A, the third adjustment part 23A, and the fourth adjustment part 24A are bent at 90 degrees from the base 4A toward the first direction Z1, this is not a limitation. For example, the first adjustment part 21A, the second adjustment part 22A, the third adjustment part 23A, and the fourth adjustment part 24A may also be bent at an angle of 80 degrees or more but less than 100 degrees from the base 4A.

[0174] It should be noted that although it is described that the second part 32 of the first adjustment part 21A bends at 90 degrees from the first sidewall part 5A toward the third direction X1, it is not limited to this. For example, the second part 32 of the first adjustment part 21A may also bend at an angle of 80 degrees or more but less than 100 degrees from the first sidewall part 5A toward the third direction X1.

[0175] It should be noted that although it is described that the third part 33 of the second adjustment part 22A bends at 90 degrees from the second side wall part 6A toward the fourth direction X2, it is not limited to this. For example, the third part 33 of the second adjustment part 22A may also bend at an angle of 80 degrees or more but less than 100 degrees from the second side wall part 6A toward the fourth direction X2.

[0176] It should be noted that although it is described that the fifth part 35 of the third adjustment part 23A bends at 90 degrees from the third side wall part 7A toward the fifth direction Y1, it is not limited to this. For example, the fifth part 35 of the third adjustment part 23A may also bend at an angle of 80 degrees or more but less than 100 degrees from the third side wall part 7A toward the fifth direction Y1.

[0177] It should be noted that although examples have been given of the fourth adjustment section 24A being deformable into a seventh state in which it does not bend at a position away from the third sidewall section 7A in the fifth direction Y1 and an eighth state in which it bends in the first direction Z1 at that position, it is not limited to this. For example, the fourth adjustment section 24A may also be deformable into a state in which it does not bend at a position away from the first sidewall section 5A in the third direction X1 and a state in which it bends in the first direction Z1 at that position.

[0178] It should be noted that although it is described that the fourth adjustment unit 24A adjusts the internal space of the buffer member 2A in the fifth direction Y1 and the sixth direction Y2, it is not limited to this. For example, the fourth adjustment unit 24A can also adjust the internal space of the buffer member 2A in the third direction X1 and the fourth direction X2.

[0179] It should be noted that, although in Figure 1 The diagram shows an example of a whiteboard 1A having a first adjustment part 21A and a second adjustment part 22A, but the whiteboard 1A may also have multiple first adjustment parts 21A and multiple second adjustment parts 22A.

[0180] It should be noted that although the example of whiteboard 1A having multiple third adjustment parts 23A has been given, whiteboard 1A may also have only one third adjustment part 23A.

[0181] It should be noted that, although in Figure 1 The diagram shows an example of a whiteboard 1A having a first support portion 41A and a second support portion 42A, but the whiteboard 1A may also have multiple first support portions 41A and multiple second support portions 42A.

[0182] It should be noted that although it is stated that the whiteboard 1A has a fourth adjustment part 24A and the cover 10A has a through hole 71, it is not limited to this. For example, the whiteboard 1A may have multiple fourth adjustment parts 24A and the cover 10A may have multiple through holes 71.

[0183] It should be noted that although it has been stated that a first adjusting part 21A, a second adjusting part 22A, and a third adjusting part 23A can each be supported by a first support part 41A, a second support part 42A, and a third support part 43A, respectively, this is not a limitation. For example, a first adjusting part 21A, a second adjusting part 22A, and a third adjusting part 23A can each be supported by multiple first support parts 41A, multiple second support parts 42A, and multiple third support parts 43A, respectively.

[0184] (Implementation Method 2)

[0185] Figure 11 This is a top view of an example of whiteboard 1B in Embodiment 2. Figure 12 and Figure 13 It is by... Figure 11 A three-dimensional view of the buffer component 2B assembled by bending the whiteboard 1B shown.

[0186] In Embodiment 2, a structure different from that in Embodiment 1 will be described.

[0187] In Embodiment 2, the first adjustment portion 21B is not formed from a portion of the first sidewall portion 5B, and the second adjustment portion 22B is not formed from a portion of the second sidewall portion 6B, which differs from Embodiment 1. Furthermore, in Embodiment 2, one first adjustment portion 21B is supported by a plurality of first support portions 41B, which differs from Embodiment 1, and the first support portion 41B is also formed from a portion of the base portion 4B, which also differs from Embodiment 1.

[0192] The first adjustment part 21B and the second adjustment part 22B are each formed from a portion of the base 4B. For example... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the first adjustment part 21B and the second adjustment part 22B bend from the base 4B toward the first direction Z1.

[0193] Multiple first support portions 41B support a first adjustment portion 21B. The multiple first support portions 41B are formed from a portion of a base 4B. The multiple first support portions 41B are connected to the first adjustment portion 21B. The multiple first support portions 41B are respectively connected to both ends of the first adjustment portion 21B. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in a second state, the multiple first support portions 41B are positioned in a bending relationship from the base 4B towards a first direction Z1 and are in contact with the first sidewall portion 5B. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in a second state, the multiple first support portions 41B are positioned in a bending relationship from the base 4B towards the first direction Z1 through the first adjustment portion 21B and are in contact with the first sidewall portion 5B.

When the first adjustment portion 21B is in a second state, the multiple first support portions 41B are bent from the first adjustment portion 21B towards a fourth direction X2 opposite to the third third direction X1. When the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first support parts 41B bend at 90 degrees from the first adjustment part 21B toward the fourth direction X2.

[0194] When the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, when viewed from the fifth direction Y1 along the first side wall part 5B, the plurality of first support parts 41B tilt toward the first side wall part 5B and toward the base part 4B.

[0195] A plurality of second support portions 42B support a second adjustment portion 22B. The plurality of second support portions 42B are formed from a portion of a base 4B. The plurality of second support portions 42B are connected to the second adjustment portion 22B. The plurality of second support portions 42B are respectively connected to both ends of the second adjustment portion 22B. When the second adjustment portion 22B is in a fourth state, the plurality of second support portions 42B are in a positional relationship of bending from the base 4B toward a first direction Z1 and contacting the second sidewall portion 6B. When the second adjustment portion 22B is in a fourth state, the plurality of second support portions 42B are in a positional relationship of bending from the base 4B toward a first direction Z1 through the second adjustment portion 22B and contacting the second sidewall portion 6B. When the second adjustment portion 22B is in a fourth state, the plurality of second support portions 42B are inserted into a cutout 55 provided in the second inner sidewall portion 52. When the second adjustment portion 22B is in a fourth state, the plurality of second support portions 42B are bent toward a third direction X1. When the second adjustment section 22B is in the fourth state, the plurality of second support sections 42B bend at 90 degrees from the second adjustment section 22B toward the third direction X1.

[0196] When the second adjustment part 22B is in the fourth state, when viewed from the fifth direction Y1, the plurality of second support parts 42B tilt toward the base part 4B in a direction toward the second side wall part 6B.

[0197] It should be noted that, as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the first inner sidewall portion 51 and the second inner sidewall portion 52 are each provided with a cutout 55, but are not limited thereto. For example, the first inner sidewall portion 51 and the second inner sidewall portion 52 may also be provided with multiple cutouts 55. Alternatively, each of the multiple cutouts 55 may allow multiple first support portions 41B or multiple second support portions 42B to be inserted respectively.

[0198] The effect of whiteboard 1B in embodiment 2 will be explained.

[0199] The whiteboard 1B is assembled into the buffer 2B by bending. The buffer 2B assembled from the whiteboard 1B includes a base 4B, a first sidewall portion 5B, a second sidewall portion 6B, a first adjustment portion 21B, and a plurality of first support portions 41B. The base 4B has a first main surface 81 and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface 81. The base 4B has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first sidewall portion 5B extends from the first end of the base 4B in a first direction Z1 from the second main surface toward the first main surface 81. The second sidewall portion 6B extends from the second end of the base 4B in the first direction Z1. The first adjustment portion 21B is formed from the base 4B. The first adjustment portion 21B can be deformed into a first state in which it does not bend at a position away from the first sidewall portion 5B in a third direction X1 from the first end toward the second end, and a second state in which it bends in the first direction Z1 at that position. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first support portions 41B support the first adjustment portion 21B. Multiple first support portions 41B are formed from a portion of the base 4B. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in the second state, the multiple first support portions 41B have a positional relationship of bending from the base 4B in the first direction Z1 and are in contact with the first sidewall portion 5B. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in the first state, a first space S1 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4B between the first sidewall portion 5B and the second sidewall portion 6B. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in the second state, a third space S3 smaller than the first space S1 is defined on the first main surface 81 of the base 4B between the first adjustment portion 21B and the second sidewall portion 6B.

[0200] With this structure, the whiteboard 1B can be assembled with a buffer 2B whose space for storing objects can be easily adjusted. The buffer 2B's internal space can be adjusted from a first space S1 to a third space S3 by bending the first adjustment part 21B. Therefore, the buffer 2B's internal space for storing objects of different sizes can be easily adjusted via the first adjustment part 21B.

[0201] Furthermore, when the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, the first adjustment part 21B can be further maintained in the second state by contacting the first side wall part 5B with the multiple first support parts 41B.

[0202] The first adjusting portion 21B is connected to a plurality of first supporting portions 41B. When the first adjusting portion 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first supporting portions 41B are positioned such that they bend from the base 4B toward the first direction Z1 through the first adjusting portion 21B. When one or more of the first adjusting portions 21B are in the second state, the plurality of first supporting portions 41B bend from the first adjusting portion 21B toward the fourth direction X2, which is opposite to the third direction X1.

[0203] With this structure, the whiteboard 1B can be assembled with a buffer member 2B that allows for easy adjustment of the space for storing objects. By connecting the first adjustment part 21B to multiple first support parts 41B, both the first adjustment part 21B and the first support parts 41B can be bent simultaneously. Furthermore, by connecting the first adjustment part 21B to the multiple first support parts 41B, the first support parts 41B can further support the first adjustment part 21B.

[0204] The buffer 2B assembled from the whiteboard 1B also includes a first inner sidewall portion 51. The first inner sidewall portion 51 is located inside the first sidewall portion 5B and outside the first adjustment portion 21B. When the first adjustment portion 21B is in the second state, cutouts 55 for inserting a plurality of first support portions 41B are provided in the first inner sidewall portion 51.

[0205] When the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, a plurality of first support parts 41B are inserted into the cut 55 of the first inner sidewall part 51, so that the first support parts 41B can further maintain the first adjustment part 21B in a bent state in the first direction Z1.

[0206] When the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, when viewed from the fifth direction Y1 along the first side wall part 5B, the plurality of first support parts 41B tilt toward the first side wall part 5B and toward the base part 4B.

[0207] With this structure, when the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first support parts 41B can be easily inserted into the cut 55 of the first inner sidewall part 51, so the plurality of first support parts 41B can further maintain the first adjustment part 21B in the state of bending in the first direction Z1.

[0208] It should be noted that although an example of a buffer 2B having one first adjustment part 21B and one second adjustment part 22B has been given, the buffer 2B may also have multiple first adjustment parts 21B and multiple second adjustment parts 22B.

[0209] It should be noted that although an example of a buffer member 2B having multiple first support portions 41B relative to a first adjustment portion 21B has been described, the buffer member 2B may also have multiple first support portions 41B relative to a first adjustment portion 21B.

[0210] It should be noted that although it is stated that the first adjusting part 21B is connected to the plurality of first support parts 41B, the first adjusting part 21B and the plurality of first support parts 41B may not be connected. For example, the first support part 41B may be connected to the base 4B and be able to bend from the base 4B in the first direction Z1. For example, the first support part 41B may also support the first adjusting part 21B by contacting it. Alternatively, the first adjusting part 21B may be provided with a through hole into which a portion of the first support part 41B can be inserted, thereby supporting the first adjusting part 21B in the second state by inserting the first support part 41B into the through hole of the first adjusting part 21B.

[0211] It should be noted that although an example of providing one cutout 55 in the first inner sidewall portion 51 has been given, it is not limited to this. For example, multiple cutouts 55 may also be provided in the first inner sidewall portion 51. The number of multiple cutouts 55 may also be the same as the number of the first support portion 41B.

[0212] It should be noted that when the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first support parts 41B can also be bent from the base 4B toward the first direction Z1. For example, the first support part 41B can also be bent from the base 4B toward the first direction Z1 at an angle of 80 degrees or more and 110 degrees or less.

[0213] It should be noted that although it is described that when the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first support parts 41B bend at 90 degrees from the first adjustment part 21B toward the fourth direction X2, it is not limited to this. For example, when the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, the plurality of first support parts 41B bend at more than 80 degrees and less than 100 degrees from the first adjustment part 21B toward the fourth direction X2.

[0214] It should be noted that when the second adjustment part 22B is in the second state, the plurality of second support parts 42B can also be bent from the base 4B toward the first direction Z1. For example, the second support parts 42B can also be bent from the base 4B toward the first direction Z1 at an angle of 90 degrees or more and 110 degrees or less.

[0215] It should be noted that although it is described that when the second adjustment part 22B is in the fourth state, the plurality of second support parts 42B bend at 90 degrees from the second adjustment part 22B in the fourth direction X2, it is not limited to this. For example, when the second adjustment part 22B is in the fourth state, the plurality of second support parts 42B bend at 80 degrees or more but less than 100 degrees from the second adjustment part 22B in the fourth direction X2.

[0216] <Variation Example 1>

[0217] Figure 14 This is a perspective view of the buffer 2C assembled by bending the whiteboard of Modified Example 1.

[0218] The buffer 2C assembled by bending the whiteboard of Modified Example 1 differs from the buffer 2A assembled by bending the whiteboard 1A of Embodiment 1 in the number of the first adjustment part 21A, the second adjustment part 22A, and the third adjustment part 23A.

[0219] The buffer 2C includes a plurality of first adjustment parts 21A, a plurality of second adjustment parts 22A, and a third adjustment part 23A.

[0220] Multiple first adjustment parts 21A are arranged at intervals along the first sidewall portion 5A. Multiple second adjustment parts 22A are arranged at intervals along the second sidewall portion 6A.

[0221] Multiple first adjustment portions 21A are arranged at intervals along the first sidewall portion 5A.

[0222] By arranging multiple first adjustment portions 21A at intervals along the first sidewall portion 5A, the impact from the outside of the buffer member 2C can be further mitigated.

[0223] <Variation Example 2>

[0224] Figure 15 This is an enlarged schematic cross-sectional view of the buffer 2D assembled by bending the whiteboard of modified example 2.

[0225] like Figure 15 As shown, the difference between buffer 2D and buffer 2A in embodiment 1 is that, in the second state, the first adjustment part 21A is bent from the base 4A at an angle θ1. The angle θ1 is the angle between the first main surface 81 of the base 4A and the first adjustment part 21A, which is 80 degrees or more and less than 90 degrees.

[0226] When the first adjustment part 21A is in the second state, the first adjustment part 21A is bent at an angle θ1, that is, at an angle of more than 80 degrees and less than 90 degrees, which makes it easier to maintain the space for storing objects after the adjustment by the first adjustment part 21A.

[0227] <Variation Example 3>

[0228] Figure 16 This is an enlarged schematic cross-sectional view of the buffer 2E assembled by bending the whiteboard of modified example 3. Figure 17 This is an enlarged top view of the buffer 2E assembled by bending the whiteboard of modified example 3.

[0229] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the buffer 2D differs from the buffer 2B of Embodiment 2 in that the first adjustment portion 21B bends from the base 4B at an angle θ2 in the second state and the plurality of first support portions 41B bend from the first adjustment portion 21B at an angle θ3.

[0230] like Figure 16 As shown, in the second state, the first adjustment part 21B is bent from the base 4B at an angle θ2. The angle θ2 is the angle between the first main surface 81 of the base 4B and the first adjustment part 21B, which is greater than 90 degrees and less than 100 degrees.

[0231] In the second state, the first adjustment part 21B is bent at an angle θ2, that is, at an angle greater than 90 degrees and less than 100 degrees, thereby further contacting the first sidewall part 5B. By contacting the first sidewall part 5B with the first adjustment part 21B, it is easy to maintain the space for the stored object after adjustment by the first adjustment part 21B.

[0232] like Figure 17 As shown, in the second state of the first adjustment part 21B, the plurality of first support parts 41B are bent from the first adjustment part 21B at an angle θ3. Angle θ3 is the angle between the surface of the first adjustment part 21B and the first side wall part 5B facing each other and the plurality of first support parts 41B when the first adjustment part 21B is in the second state, which is greater than 90 degrees and less than 100 degrees.

[0233] With the first adjustment part 21B in its second state, the first support part 41B bends from the first adjustment part 21B at an angle θ3, which is greater than 90 degrees and less than 100 degrees, and the first support part 41B further contacts the inner wall of the cut 55 that defines the first inner sidewall part 51. By making further contact between the first support part 41B and the inner wall of the cut 55 that defines the first inner sidewall part 51, it is easier to maintain the space for storing objects after adjustment by the first adjustment part 21A.
