Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the packing body for packing the polarizer of rectangular shape. BACKGROUND

[0002] Patent document 1 describes a carrying case that accommodates or transports polarizers stacked.

[0003] As Figure 9 shown, the carrying case 60 has: a case main body 61; a reference plate 62 that is disposed on the inner side surface 61a of the case main body 61; a guide rail portion 63 that is formed on the bottom surface 61b of the case main body 61; and a slider 64 that is installed on the guide rail portion 63.

[0004] The reference plate 62 is disposed on two adjacent inner side surfaces 61a among the four inner side surfaces 61a that are vertically provided from the bottom surface 61b of the case main body 61. The guide rail portion 63 extends from positions on the two inner side surfaces 61a on which the reference plate 62 is not disposed toward the two inner side surfaces 61a on which the reference plate 62 is disposed, respectively. The slider 64 slides along the guide rail portion 63. In addition, the slider 64 has a fixing unit 65 for fixing the position thereof on the guide rail portion 63.

[0005] When the polarizer (omitted illustration) is accommodated in the carrying case 60, after the two edges of the polarizer are brought into close contact with the surfaces of the two reference plates 62, each slider 64 is moved toward the reference plate 62 side along the guide rail portion 63. Further, in a state in which each slider 64 abuts against the remaining two edges of the polarizer, the position of each slider 64 is fixed by the fixing unit 65, thereby fixing the position of the polarizer. By having the slider 64, even if the size of the accommodated polarizer is changed, the polarizer can be accommodated in the case main body 61.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present application will be explained in detail. In addition, the scope of the present application is not limited to the embodiments explained here, and various changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the present application.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , the package 10 of the present application is used for packaging a polarizing plate 11 of a rectangular shape.

[0055] As the polarizing plate 11, for example, a polarizing plate in which a laminate of a plurality of polarizing plates is wrapped with a film. The number of polarizing plates in the laminate can be set to 200 or more and 300 or less, for example. The length of one side of one polarizing plate can be set to 5 cm or more and 35 cm or less, for example.

[0056] The package 10 has a container 20 having a bottom wall portion 21 and a side wall portion 22, a lid 23 attached to the container 20, a cushioning material 30 disposed on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22, and a pair of support members 50 disposed on the bottom wall portion 21 and supporting the polarizing plate 11. In addition, the structure of the package 10 does not include the polarizing plate 11.

[0057] (CONTAINER)

[0058] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the container 20 has a bottom wall portion 21 of a rectangular shape and a side wall portion 22 extending from the outer periphery of the bottom wall portion 21 in the stacking direction of the polarizing plate 11.

[0059] (LID)

[0060] AsFigure 1 As shown, the cover 23 has a rectangular top wall 24 and a peripheral wall 25 extending from the outer periphery of the top wall 24 along the thickness direction of the top wall 24. When the cover 23 is installed on the container 20, the peripheral wall 25 covers the outer periphery of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20.

[0061] There are no particular restrictions on the material of the lid 23 and the container 20; paper and resin can be used. Resin is preferred because it offers excellent durability and is easy to lighten. Furthermore, transparent resin makes it easy to see the interior, which is also preferred.

[0062] (Cushioning material)

[0063] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the cushioning material 30 is configured as a long strip plate. The cushioning material 30 has a pair of first cushioning materials 31 disposed on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 on the long side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the container 20, and a pair of second cushioning materials 32 disposed on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 on the short side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the container 20.

[0064] One end of the pair of first cushioning materials 31 along its length is located at a corner of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20, and the other end along its length is close to another corner of the side wall portion of the container 20. In addition, in the pair of first cushioning materials 31, one end and the other end along the length of each first cushioning material 31 are located in opposite directions to each other.

[0065] One end of the pair of second cushioning materials 32 along its length is located at the corner of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20, and the other end along its length abuts against one end of the first cushioning material 31. In addition, in the pair of second cushioning materials 32, one end and the other end along the length of each second cushioning material 32 are located in opposite directions to each other.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, a rectangular plate-shaped buffer material 40 is disposed above the polarizer 11. The buffer material 40 has a shape that is approximately the same as that of the polarizer 11.

[0067] The materials of the first cushioning material 31, the second cushioning material 32, and the plate-shaped cushioning material 40 are not particularly limited; for example, foamed resin can be used. Specific examples of foamed resins include foamed polyurethane resin.

[0068] (Supporting components)

[0069] like Figure 3As shown, the package 10 is provided with a pair of support members 50 disposed on the bottom wall portion 21 and supporting the polarizing plate 11. Here, one of the pair of support members 50 is provided as a first support member 51, and the other is provided as a second support member 52. In addition, the first support member 51 and the second support member 52 are of the same shape.

[0070] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11.

In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11. Figure 7 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11.

[0072] Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11. Figure 4 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11.

[0073] Figure 7 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11.

[0074] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11. Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first support member 51 has a first partition wall 51a disposed between the first edge 11a and the second cushioning material 32 of the polarizing plate 11 extending across one corner. In addition, the first support member 51 has a second partition wall 51b disposed between the second edge 11b and the first cushioning material 31. Furthermore, the first support member 51 has a first support wall 51c connected to both the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b and disposed between the bottom wall portion 21 and the polarizing plate 11.

[0075] ​​​In the direction in which the second side 11b extends, the length of the second partition wall 51b is shorter than the length of the second side 11b.

[0076] In the direction in which the third side 11c extends, the length of the third partition wall 52a is shorter than the length of the third side 11c.

[0077] In the direction in which the fourth side 11d extends, the length of the fourth partition wall 52b is shorter than the length of the fourth side 11d.

[0078] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, plate members 53 are disposed on the lower surface of the first support wall 51c of the first support member 51 and the lower surface of the second support wall 52c of the second support member 52. Here, the lower surface refers to the surface on the side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the first support wall 51c and the second support wall 52c. The thickness of the plate member 53 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 cm or more and 5 cm or less. Here, the thickness of the plate member 53 refers to the thickness in the stacking direction of the polarizer 11.

[0079] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the first support member 51 has a first connecting portion 54 connecting the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b. In other words, the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b are connected via the first connecting portion 54. The first connecting portion 54 has a notch 54a formed by cutting away from the inner peripheral side of the first partition wall 51a and the second partition wall 51b that abuts against the polarizer 11 towards the outer peripheral side in a manner that reduces in thickness. In other words, the first connecting portion 54 has a notch 54a formed by reducing in thickness in a direction away from the corner of the polarizer 11 when the polarizer 11 is supported on the first support member 51.

[0080] Furthermore, the first support wall 51c has a groove 51c1 formed by thinning of the thickness of the first support wall 51c at the boundary portion with the first partition wall 51a and at the boundary portion with the second partition wall 51b.

[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, the second support member 52 also has a second connecting portion 55 connecting the third partition wall 52a and the fourth partition wall 52b. The second connecting portion 55 has a notch 55a formed by cutting away from the inner peripheral side of the third partition wall 52a and the fourth partition wall 52b that abuts against the polarizer 11 towards the outer peripheral side in a manner that reduces in thickness. In other words, the second connecting portion 55 has a notch 55a formed by reducing in thickness in the direction away from the corner of the polarizer 11 when the polarizer 11 is supported on the second support member 52.

[0082] Further, the second supporting wall 52c has a groove portion 52c1 in which the thickness of the second supporting wall 52c is thinned at a boundary portion with the third partition wall 52a and at a boundary portion with the fourth partition wall 52b.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 1, the first supporting member 51 and the second supporting member 52 are provided in the package body 10. The first supporting member 51 is provided in the first supporting portion 51a of the first supporting wall 51c. The second supporting member 52 is provided in the second supporting portion 52a of the second supporting wall 52c. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the first supporting member 51 and the second supporting member 52 are provided in the package body 10. The first supporting member 51 is provided in the first supporting portion 51a of the first supporting wall 51c. The second supporting member 52 is provided in the second supporting portion 52a of the second supporting wall 52c.

[0084] Further, the first supporting wall 51c has the groove portion 51c1, so that, for example, when a protective sheet (not shown) for protecting the outer periphery of the polarizing plate 11 is arranged between the first supporting member 51 and the polarizing plate 11, the lower end portion of the protective sheet can be inserted into the groove portion 51c1 to be positioned. Similarly, the groove portion 52c1 of the second supporting wall 52c also allows the lower end portion of the protective sheet to be inserted into the groove portion 52c1 to be positioned.

[0085] The material of the first supporting member 51 and the second supporting member 52 is not particularly limited, but if it is a resin, it is excellent in durability and easy to be lightweight, and thus is preferable.

[0086] (Polarizing plate)

[0087] The polarizing plate 11 of a rectangular shape is a rectangular shape, but can be a square shape. It can also be a shape in which the corners of the rectangular shape are chamfered. The use of the polarizing plate 11 packaged by the package body 10 is not particularly limited, and for example, it is used as an optical member constituting a liquid crystal display device.

[0088] The thickness of each polarizing plate is not particularly limited, and is 50 μm or more and 500 μm or less.

[0089] <Sequence of packaging of polarizing plate by package body>

[0090] As shown in FIG. 1, the first supporting member 51 and the second supporting member 52 are provided in the package body 10. The first supporting member 51 is provided in the first supporting portion 51a of the first supporting wall 51c. The second supporting member 52 is provided in the second supporting portion 52a of the second supporting wall 52c. Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the first supporting member 51 and the second supporting member 52 are provided in the package body 10. The first supporting member 51 is provided in the first supporting portion 51a of the first supporting wall 51c. The second supporting member 52 is provided in the second supporting portion 52a of the second supporting wall 52c.

[0091] ​Similarly, the second supporting wall 52c of the second supporting member 52 is caused to support the polarizing plate 11 on the other corner side on the diagonal line of the above-described corner of the polarizing plate 11. Then, the third edge 11c which is the short side and the fourth edge 11d which is the long side of the polarizing plate 11 are caused to abut against the third partition wall 52a and the fourth partition wall 52b of the second supporting member 52. The polarizing plate 11 supported by the first supporting member 51 and the second supporting member 52 is placed on the bottom wall portion 21 of the container 20.

[0092] As shown in Fig. 1, a pair of the first supporting members 51 is arranged on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20. The pair of the first supporting members 51 is caused to abut against the first partition wall 51a of the first supporting member 51 and the third partition wall 52a of the second supporting member 52. The pair of the second supporting members 52 is arranged on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20. The pair of the second supporting members 52 is caused to abut against the second partition wall 51b of the first supporting member 51 and the fourth partition wall 52b of the second supporting member 52. Figure 2 As shown in Fig. 1, a pair of the first supporting members 51 is arranged on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20. The pair of the first supporting members 51 is caused to abut against the first partition wall 51a of the first supporting member 51 and the third partition wall 52a of the second supporting member 52. The pair of the second supporting members 52 is arranged on the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20. The pair of the second supporting members 52 is caused to abut against the second partition wall 51b of the first supporting member 51 and the fourth partition wall 52b of the second supporting member 52.

[0093] Next, the plate-shaped cushioning material 40 is arranged from the side of the polarizing plate 11 opposite the bottom wall portion 21. Further, by installing the lid 23 to the container 20, it is possible to package the polarizing plate 11. The above-described steps can also be performed in an order which is appropriately changed.

[0094] The container 20 and the lid 23 can appropriately use a tape to fix the positions of each other.

[0095] Figure 1 If the lid 23 is installed to the container 20, the shape of the entire package 10 becomes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Therefore, it is possible to place the package 10 on a table in a state in which the four edges of the rectangular-shaped polarizing plate 11 are substantially parallel to the horizontal direction (also referred to as the lateral direction) as shown in Fig. 2, and it is also possible to place the package 10 on a table in a state in which the four edges of the rectangular-shaped polarizing plate 11 are substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction (also referred to as the longitudinal direction). That is, it is possible to place the package 10 in a state in which the side wall portion 22 of the container 20 and the peripheral wall 25 of the lid 23 are substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. Thereby, when the package 10 is transported, it is possible to transport the package 10 in a state in which the polarizing plate 11 is in the lateral direction in addition to a state in which the polarizing plate 11 is in the longitudinal direction.

[0096] <Effects>

[0097] The effects of the present embodiment will be described.

[0098] As shown in Fig. 2, when the polarizing plate 11 is taken out from the package 10 in which the polarizing plate 11 is packaged, first, the lid 23 is removed from the container 20. Next, the plate-shaped cushioning material 40 arranged on the polarizing plate 11 is removed. Figure 1

[0099] As shown in Fig. 2, when the polarizing plate 11 is taken out from the package 10 in which the polarizing plate 11 is packaged, first, the lid 23 is removed from the container 20. Next, the plate-shaped cushioning material 40 arranged on the polarizing plate 11 is removed.​​Figure 8 As shown, a pair of the first cushioning material 31 and a pair of the second cushioning material 32 are further removed. Thus, spaces S1 for the insertion of the first cushioning material 31 and the second cushioning material 32 are exposed between the inner periphery of the side wall portion 22 of the container 20 and the first support member 51 and the second support member 52, respectively.

[0100] Further, a space S2 is originally formed between the polarizing plate 11 and the bottom wall portion 21. The space S2 is formed by the first support member 51 being supported by the first support wall 51c and the second support member 52 being supported by the second support wall 52c of the polarizing plate 11.

[0101] Since the length of the second partition wall 51b of the first support member 51 and the length of the fourth partition wall 52b of the second support member 52 are shorter than the length of the second edge 11b and the length of the fourth edge 11d of the polarizing plate 11, the space S2 is in communication with the space S1 at a relatively wide area of the long side of the polarizing plate 11.

[0102] Thus, the polarizing plate 11 can be taken out by inserting a hand from the side of the space S1 to the side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the polarizing plate 11 in which the space S2 is formed. The space S2 functions as an insertion portion for inserting a hand to the side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the polarizing plate 11.

[0103] Further, a hand can be inserted from both sides of the opposite pair of long edges (the second edge 11b and the fourth edge 11d) of the polarizing plate 11 to the side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the polarizing plate 11. Thus, compared to the case where the polarizing plate 11 is taken out by inserting a hand from both sides of the opposite pair of short edges (the first edge 11a and the third edge 11c) of the rectangular polarizing plate 11 to the side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the polarizing plate 11, the deflection of the rectangular polarizing plate 11 can be suppressed, and thus, the rectangular polarizing plate 11 can be taken out in a more stable state. Therefore, the work efficiency when the polarizing plate 11 is taken out from the container 20 can be improved. Further, when the thickness of the plate member 53 is 1 cm or more and 5 cm or less, it is easy to insert a hand to the insertion portion.

[0104] In addition, the above-mentioned "hand" refers to the fingers and the palm of the operator. Further, the work of taking out the polarizing plate 11 from the container 20 can also be performed using a robot or the like, and a robot hand or the like device is also included in the above-mentioned "hand". That is, the above-mentioned "hand" is not limited to a human hand.

[0105] In addition, the above-mentioned "side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the polarizing plate 11" can also be said to be "the back side of the polarizing plate 11".

[0106] Further, in a case where the size of the polarizing plate 11 is changed in the packaging using the packaging body 10, it is only necessary to change the sizes of the first and second cushion materials 31 and 32 according to the size of the polarizing plate 11 after the polarizing plate 11 is supported by the first and second support members 51 and 52. In a case where the first and second cushion materials 31 and 32 are composed of a material that easily elastically deforms, even if the size of the polarizing plate 11 is changed, the same first and second cushion materials 31 and 32 can be used for the packaging.

[0107] Thus, even if the size of the polarizing plate 11 is changed, the same first and second support members 51 and 52 can be used to support and package the polarizing plate 11. The work of adjusting the position of the slider 64 according to the size of the polarizing plate, as in the carrying case 60 of the related art, can be omitted, and thus the polarizing plate 11 can be efficiently packaged.

[0108] <Modification Example>

[0109] The present embodiment can be implemented as follows. The present embodiment and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a range in which they do not contradict in technology.

[0110] In the present embodiment, it is configured so that a hand can be inserted from both sides of the pair of long sides of the polarizing plate 11 to the back side of the polarizing plate 11, but the present application is not limited to this. It can also be configured so that a hand can be inserted from both sides of the pair of short sides of the polarizing plate 11 to the back side of the polarizing plate 11. It can also be configured so that a hand can be inserted from both sides of the pair of short sides of the polarizing plate 11 to the back side of the polarizing plate 11 in addition to being configured so that a hand can be inserted from both sides of the pair of long sides of the polarizing plate 11 to the back side of the polarizing plate 11. Further, it can also be configured so that a hand can be inserted to the back side of the polarizing plate 11 only from one of the pair of long sides or only from one of the pair of short sides.

[0111] In the present embodiment, the length of the first partition wall 51a is configured to be shorter than the length of the first side 11a of the polarizing plate 11, but the length of the first partition wall 51a can also be the same as the length of the first side 11a. Similarly, the length of the second partition wall 51b can also be the same as the length of the second side 11b, the length of the third partition wall 52a can also be the same as the length of the third side 11c, and the length of the fourth partition wall 52b can also be the same as the length of the fourth side 11d.

[0112] The length of the first partition wall 51a can be the same as the length of the third partition wall 52a, or can be different. Further, the length of the second partition wall 51b can be the same as the length of the second partition wall 52b, or can be different.

[0113] In the present embodiment, the notch 54a of the first connecting portion 54 of the first support member 51 and the notch 55a of the second connecting portion 55 of the second support member 52 can also be omitted. That is, the first connecting portion 54 and the second connecting portion 55 can also abut against the corner portion of the polarizing plate 11.

[0114] In the present embodiment, the first support member 51 and the second support member 52 are of the same shape, but the present application is not limited to this mode. The shapes of the first support member 51 and the second support member 52 can also be different.

[0115] In the present embodiment, the plate member 53 can also be omitted. In the case where the plate member 53 is not provided to the first support member 51 and the second support member 52, the thickness of the first support wall 51c and the second support wall 52c is preferably 1 cm or more and 5 cm or less. Thereby, even in the case where the plate member 53 is not provided, it is easy to insert a hand into the insertion portion. Here, the thickness of the first support wall 51c and the second support wall 52c refers to the thickness in the stacking direction of the polarizing plate 11.

[0116] In the present embodiment, the plate-shaped cushioning material 40 can also be omitted.

[0117] In the present embodiment, the through-hole 51d can also be omitted, and similarly, the through-hole 52d can also be omitted.

[0118] In the present embodiment, the bottom wall portion 21 of the container 20 is of a rectangular shape, but can also be of a square shape.
