Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a package body. Background Technology
[0002] A type of packaging body is known, comprising a corrugated box and multiple expanded polystyrene foams sandwiched between the corrugated box and a heating plate as cushioning material.
[0003] The heating plate is packaged by installing expanded polystyrene on the heating plate and integrating the heating plate and expanded polystyrene into the corrugated box in such a way that the expanded polystyrene is in contact with the inner surface of the corrugated box.
[0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-24470
[0005] There are devices that operate a load by means of electricity supplied from a power line. For example, a heating cooker is a device that heats an object by means of electricity supplied from a power line that activates a heat source such as a heater, magnetron, or induction heating coil.
[0006] Generally, power cords are preferably flexible for ease of handling. To achieve flexibility, power cords have a flexible sheath or outer casing that wraps around the linear conductor. These flexible sheaths or outer casings are, for example, made of ethylene containing plasticizers.
[0007] Furthermore, if the power cord remains in continuous contact with expanded polystyrene (EPS) for an extended period, the plasticizers contained in the power cord will transfer to the EPS. If plasticizers transfer to the EPS, the EPS will deteriorate or adhere to the power cord. Deteriorated EPS will lose its function as a cushioning material, and power cords with EPS will reduce the commercial value of the equipment.
[0008] Therefore, in the past, power cords that could be removed from the equipment were individually wrapped in polyester bags to prevent them from coming into contact with the polystyrene foam, or a power cord winding device or spool was installed on the equipment to prevent contact with the polystyrene foam, or only the power cord extending directly from the equipment was wrapped in a polyester bag to prevent contact with the polystyrene foam. However, these measures resulted in increased equipment size and weight due to the internal use of spools, and also increased costs for the bags containing the power cords and the labor costs for packing the power cords into the bags. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a packaging body that can easily and inexpensively prevent the power cord of a device from coming into contact with the cushioning material.
[0010] To address the aforementioned problem, the package body of this utility model comprises: a package box having a bottom wall portion, a side wall portion rising from the periphery of the bottom wall portion, and a cover portion continuous with the upper edge of the side wall portion and closing the upper opening of the side wall portion; a sheet material wound around a device having a main body and a power cord extending from the main body; at least one lower cushioning material sandwiched between the main body with the sheet material wound around it and the bottom wall portion, and between the main body with the sheet material wound around it and the side wall portion; and at least one upper cushioning material sandwiched between the main body with the sheet material wound around it and the side wall portion, and... Between the body to which the sheet is wound and the cover, the sheet has an excess length extending to the at least one upper cushioning material, the at least one upper cushioning material having an upper recess that divides an upper storage space between the at least one upper cushioning material and the package, wherein at least a portion of the power cord is stored in the upper recess, separated by the excess length of the sheet; or, the at least one lower cushioning material has a lower recess that divides a lower storage space between the at least one lower cushioning material and the package, wherein at least a portion of the power cord is stored in the lower recess, separated by the excess length of the sheet.
[0011] The package body of this utility model can also be configured such that the power cord reaches the upper recess or the lower recess by passing between the sheet wound around the main body and the package box.
[0012] The packaging body of this utility model can also be configured such that the sheet has the excess length at one end and is wound around the main body.
[0013] The package body of this utility model can also be configured such that the excess length covers the entire upper surface of the at least one upper buffer material.
[0014] The package body of this utility model can also be configured such that the package is a hexahedron having a bottom surface, a top surface, a front surface, a back surface, and a pair of side surfaces, with an inner bottom surface on the inside of the bottom surface, a top surface on the inside of the top surface, and four inner side surfaces on the inside of the front surface, the back surface, and the pair of side surfaces. The at least one lower cushioning material includes a pair of lower cushioning materials, which are located at the bottom of the package and are spaced apart on the pair of opposing inner side surfaces.
[0015] The package of this utility model can also be configured such that the device is a rice cooker with the power cord extending directly out.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The following is for reference Figure 1 The packaging body and packaging method of this utility model are described.
[0022] Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view of the package body according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the package body 1 of this embodiment includes: a package box 2; a sheet 5 wound around the device 3; a lower buffer material 6 sandwiched between the device 3 wrapped by the sheet 5 and the package box 2; and an upper buffer material 7 sandwiched between the device 3 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the package box 2.
[0024] Package 2 is a so-called corrugated box. Package 2 is assembled by bending and assembling a box blank (also simply called "blank") along the markings. The box blank is formed by punching a single sheet of corrugated paper using a die or similar tool. The corrugated sheet is, for example, a double-sided corrugated sheet made by gluing together a corrugated core, a surface liner, and a back liner.
[0025] The package 2 has a bottom wall 21, a side wall 22 rising from the periphery of the bottom wall 21, and a lid 25 that is continuous with the upper edge of the side wall 22 and closes the upper opening 23 of the side wall 22. Furthermore, the package 2 is a hexahedron with a bottom surface 2a, a top surface 2b, a front surface 2c, a back surface 2D, and a pair of side surfaces 2e1 and 2e2. The bottom surface 2a, top surface 2b, front surface 2c, back surface 2D, and the pair of side surfaces 2e1 and 2e2 are squares or rectangles, i.e., rectangular. Opposite shapes, such as the shape of the bottom surface 2a and the shape of the top surface 2b, are identical, i.e., congruent. In other words, the package 2 is a cuboid or a cube. The upper opening 23 on the top surface 2b of the package 2, which is visible when the lid 25 is opened, is also rectangular.
[0026] Furthermore, the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 21 is the bottom surface 2a of the package 2, the outer surface of the side wall portion 22 is the front 2c, back 2D, one side 2e1, or the other side 2e2 of the package 2, and the outer surface of the lid portion 25 is the upper surface 2b of the package 2. For ease of explanation, the side wall portion 22 of the front 2c is referred to as the front wall portion 25F, the side wall portion 22 of the back 2d is referred to as the back wall portion 25B, the side wall portion 22 of one side 2e1 is referred to as the left side wall portion 25L, and the side wall portion 22 of the other side 2e2 is referred to as the right side wall portion 25R.
[0027] For ease of explanation, the inner surface of the bottom wall portion 21 is referred to as the inner bottom surface of the packing box 2, the inner surface of the front wall portion 25F is referred to as the inner front surface of the packing box 2, the inner surface of the back wall portion 25B is referred to as the inner back surface of the packing box 2, the inner surface of the left side wall portion 25L is referred to as the inner left side surface of the packing box 2, the inner surface of the right side wall portion 25R is referred to as the inner right side surface of the packing box 2, and the inner surface of the cover portion 25 is referred to as the top surface of the packing box 2. The inner front surface, inner back surface, inner left side surface, and inner right side surface are also simply referred to as the inner side surface. That is, the packing box 2 has an inner bottom surface on the inside of the bottom surface 2a, a top surface on the inside of the top surface 2b, and four inner side surfaces on the inside of the front surface 2c, the back surface 2D, and the pair of side surfaces 2e1 and 2e2.
[0028] The package body 1 includes: a front flap 26F that is foldably connected to the upper edge of the front wall portion 25F; a rear flap 26B that is foldably connected to the upper edge of the rear wall portion 25B; a left flap 26L that is foldably connected to the upper edge of the left side wall portion 25L; and a right flap 26R that is foldably connected to the upper edge of the right side wall portion 25R. The cover portion 25 consists of four flaps 26F, 26B, 26L, and 26R that are bent and overlapped in a manner that covers the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22.
[0029] The width of the left flap 26L extends across the entire length of the upper edge of the left side wall portion 25L, and the width of the right flap 26R extends across the entire length of the upper edge of the right side wall portion 25R. The sum of the protruding length of the left flap 26L, based on the upper edge of the left side wall portion 25L, and the protruding length of the right flap 26R, based on the upper edge of the right side wall portion 25R, is greater than or equal to the entire length of the upper edge of the front wall portion 25F and the entire length of the upper edge of the back wall portion 25B. In other words, when the left flap 26L and the right flap 26R are bent to cover the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22, the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22 is closed. In this embodiment, the protruding lengths of the left flap 26L and the right flap 26R are half the entire length of the upper edge of the front wall portion 25F and half the entire length of the upper edge of the back wall portion 25B.
[0030] The width of the front cover 26F extends across the entire length of the upper edge of the front wall portion 25F, and the width of the rear cover 26B extends across the entire length of the upper edge of the rear wall portion 25B. The sum of the protruding length of the front cover 26F (based on the upper edge of the front wall portion 25F) and the protruding length of the rear cover 26B (based on the upper edge of the rear wall portion 25B) is less than the entire length of the upper edge of the left side wall portion 25L and the entire length of the upper edge of the right side wall portion 25R. In other words, even if the front cover 26F and the rear cover 26B are bent to cover the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22, they do not contact or overlap, and the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22 is not closed.
[0031] The left flap 26L and the right flap 26R each have a pair of slits 31, and the front flap 26F and the rear flap 26B each have a pair of inserts 32. By bending the left flap 26L and the right flap 26R to cover the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22, the upper opening 23 of the side wall portion 22 is closed. The pair of inserts 32 of one of the front flap 26F and the rear flap 26B is inserted into the slits 31 of one of the left flap 26L and the right flap 26R, and the pair of inserts 32 of the other of the front flap 26F and the rear flap 26B is inserted into the other slits 31 of the left flap 26L and the other slits 31 of the right flap 26R. Thus, the four flaps 26F, 26B, 26L, and 26R function as cover portions 25.
[0032] Although the illustration is omitted, the bottom wall portion 21 can have the same configuration as the cover portion 25. For example, it can have the following configuration: after the bottom surface 2a of the packing box 2 is sealed by closing the front and rear pair of flaps and the left and right pair of flaps, the flaps are fixed by packing tape or a binder.
[0033] The device 3 has a main body 41 and a power cord 42 extending from the main body 41. The device 3 is a heating cooker, such as a rice cooker 43, from which the power cord 42 extends directly. The device 3 is preferably stored in a manner consistent with the packaging box 2, both front to back and top to bottom.
[0034] The sheet 5 is made of a material that does not transfer the plasticizer from the power cord 42, such as polyethylene. The sheet 5 is a long piece of material like cloth. The sheet 5 can be rolled up to wrap around the device 3 more than once, or it can be placed at least within a range that prevents the device 3 from directly contacting the cushioning materials 6 and 7 without wrapping the device 3.
[0035] The sheet 5 has an excess length 5a that remains after being wound around the device 3. When the device 3 is wrapped with the sheet 5 after the beginning of the winding of the sheet 5 is wound around the device 3, the excess length 5a appears at the end of the winding of the sheet 5.
[0036] The lower buffer material 6 and the upper buffer material 7 hold the equipment 3 housed in the packaging box 2 within the packaging box 2 and cushion the external forces acting on the equipment 3. The lower buffer material 6 and the upper buffer material 7 are molded products of expanded polystyrene, expanded polypropylene, or expanded polyethylene, also known as expanded polystyrene foam.
[0037] The lower cushioning material 6 is sandwiched between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the bottom wall portion 21, and between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the side wall portion 22. At least one lower cushioning material 6 is required. For example, the lower cushioning material 6 can be laid entirely on the inner bottom surface of the bag box 2 to support the device 3 from below. The bag body 1 of this embodiment includes multiple lower cushioning materials 6. These multiple lower cushioning materials 6 are a pair of lower cushioning materials 6: a front lower cushioning material 6F disposed on the front side of the bottom of the bag box 2, and a rear lower cushioning material 6B disposed on the rear side of the bottom of the bag box 2. Alternatively, the multiple lower cushioning materials 6 can be a left lower cushioning material disposed on the left side of the bottom of the bag box 2, and a right lower cushioning material disposed on the right side of the bottom of the bag box 2. In other words, the multiple lower cushioning materials 6 are located at the bottom of the bag box 2 and are spaced apart on a pair of opposing inner surfaces.
[0038] A pair of lower cushioning materials 6 are in contact with the main body 41 on which the sheet 5 is wound, and the four adjacent inner surfaces of the bundle 2, and will not shift within the bundle 2. For example, the front lower cushioning material 6F is in contact with the main body 41 on which the sheet 5 is wound, the inner bottom surface, the inner front surface, the inner left side surface, and the inner right side surface of the bundle 2.
[0039] The upper cushioning material 7 is sandwiched between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the side wall portion 22, and between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the cover portion 25. At least one upper cushioning material 7 is required. For example, the upper cushioning material 7 can be laid on the entire top surface of the bag box 2 to cover the upper surface of the device 3. The bag body 1 of this embodiment has multiple upper cushioning materials 7. These multiple upper cushioning materials 7 are a pair of upper cushioning materials 7: a front upper cushioning material 7F disposed on the front side of the top of the bag box 2, and a rear upper cushioning material 7B disposed on the rear side of the top of the bag box 2. Alternatively, the multiple upper cushioning materials 7 can be a pair of upper left cushioning materials disposed on the left side of the top of the bag box 2, and an upper right cushioning material disposed on the right side of the top of the bag box 2. In other words, the multiple upper cushioning materials 7 are located on the top of the bag box 2 and are spaced apart on a pair of opposing inner surfaces.
[0040] The upper cushioning material 7 is in contact with the main body 41 on which the sheet 5 is wound and the four adjacent inner surfaces of the bundle 2, and will not shift within the bundle 2. For example, the front upper cushioning material 7F is in contact with the main body 41 on which the sheet 5 is wound, the inner bottom surface, the inner front surface, the inner left side surface, and the inner right side surface of the bundle 2.
[0041] Furthermore, the upper rear cushioning material 7B has an upper recess 52 that divides the upper storage space 51 between the upper rear cushioning material 7B and the packing box 2.
[0042] Generally, the power cord 42 is flexible for ease of handling. To achieve this flexibility, the power cord 42 has a flexible sheath or outer packaging that wraps around the linear conductor. These flexible sheaths or outer packaging are, for example, made of ethylene containing plasticizers.
[0043] Furthermore, if the power cord 42 remains in continuous contact with the expanded polystyrene (EPS) upper buffer material 7B for an extended period, the plasticizer contained in the power cord 42 will transfer to the upper buffer material 7B. If the plasticizer transfers to the upper buffer material 7B, the upper buffer material 7B will deteriorate or adhere to the power cord 42. Deteriorated upper buffer material 7B will lose its function as a buffer material, and the power cord 42 with the upper buffer material 7B adhering to it will reduce the commercial value of the device 3.
[0044] Therefore, the package body 1 receives at least a portion of the power cord 42 in the upper recess 52 of the upper rear cushioning material 7B, with the excess length 5a of the sheet 5 as a buffer. The power cord 42 reaches the upper recess 52 via the sheet 5 wound around the body 41 and the package box 2. The upper rear cushioning material 7B preferably has a groove covered by the excess length 5a of the sheet 5 and guiding the power cord 42 to the upper recess 52. A portion of the power cord 42, including, for example, the free end of a plug capable of connecting to a commercial AC power outlet, is placed in the upper recess 52 of the upper rear cushioning material 7B with the excess length 5a of the sheet 5 as a cover.
[0045] That is, the sheet 5 has an excess length 5a that reaches the upper rear cushioning material 7B. The sheet 5 is wound around the body 41 with the excess length 5a at one end. The excess length 5a covers the entire upper surface of the upper rear cushioning material 7B.
[0046] Therefore, the packaging body 1b of this embodiment does not have a spool. By allowing the power cord 42 to extend directly, it helps to miniaturize the device 3. There is no need for a bag to hold the power cord 42, which reduces the cost of the bag and the labor cost of putting the power cord 42 into the bag. The power cord 42 of the device 3 does not have to extend directly. The packaging body 1 is configured such that, for example, even if the device 3 has a power cord 42 that can be detached from the main body 41 by means of a magnet or connector, the power cord 42 does not need to be put into a bag separate from the main body 41. Instead, while keeping the power cord 42 installed on the main body 41, the power cord 42 is placed in the upper recess 52 of the upper rear cushioning material 7B with the excess length 5a of the sheet 5 as the laying material, just like a directly extending power cord 42.
[0047] Alternatively, the upper recess 52 can also be provided on the front upper cushioning material 7F. That is, as long as at least one upper cushioning material 7 has an upper recess 52 that divides the upper storage space 51 between the at least one upper cushioning material 7 and the packing box 2. At least one upper cushioning material 7 stores at least a portion of the power cord 42, with the remaining length 5a of the sheet 5 in the upper recess 52.
[0048] Alternatively, instead of the upper cushioning material 7, the lower cushioning material 6 may have a recess that divides a lower storage space between the lower cushioning material 6 and the packaging box 2. That is, at least one lower cushioning material 6 may have a recess that divides a lower storage space between the lower cushioning material 6 and the packaging box 2. In this case, at least one lower cushioning material 6 houses at least a portion of the power cord 42, separated from the excess length 5a of the sheet 5, within the recess.
[0049] The sheet 5 only needs to have an excess length 5a that reaches at least one upper buffer material 7 with an upper recess 52, or at least one lower buffer material 6 with a lower recess. Therefore, the excess length 5a preferably covers the entire upper surface 2b of the at least one upper buffer material 7 with an upper recess 52, or the entire lower surface of the at least one lower buffer material 6 with a lower recess. As a result, the power line 42 reaching the upper recess 52 or the lower recess will not come into contact with the portion of the upper buffer material 7 that is not the upper recess 52, or the portion of the lower buffer material 6 that is not the lower recess.
[0050] The power cord 42 can reach the upper or lower recess simply by passing between the sheet 5 wound between the main body 41 and the packaging box 2.
[0051] That is, the packaging body 1 is designed so that the storage area of the power cord 42 is not limited to the upper rear buffer material 7B, and can flexibly accommodate the relationship between the installation position of the main body 41 of the device 3 and the installation position of the power cord 42. For example, if the total length of the power cord 42 is short and cannot reach the upper rear buffer material 7B, the excess length 5a of the power cord 42 can be stored in the recess of the lower buffer material 6 through the sheet 5.
[0052] At least one upper cushioning material 7 may also have a second upper recess 56 that defines a second upper storage space 55. The rear upper cushioning material 7B has a second upper recess 56 that defines a second upper storage space 55. The second upper recess 56 houses a spare part of the device 3, such as a rice scoop 59 used in a rice cooker 43. Multiple second upper recesses 56 may also exist so that, in addition to housing the rice scoop 59, a measuring cup can also be housed.
[0053] Next, the method of packaging the device 3 into package body 1 will be explained.
[0054] The packaging method of this embodiment is as follows: a packaging box 2 is prepared, a lower cushioning material 6 is placed at the bottom of the packaging box 2, a sheet 5 is laid on the lower cushioning material 6, a device 3 having a main body 41 and a power cord 42 extending from the main body 41 is placed on the sheet 5 and stored in the packaging box 2 in such a way that the lower cushioning material 6 is sandwiched between the main body 41 and the bottom wall portion 21 and between the main body 41 and the side wall portion 22, the sheet 5 is wound around the device 3, while avoiding the excess length portion 5a of the sheet 5, an upper cushioning material 7 is covered on the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it, the excess length portion 5a of the sheet 5 is covered on the upper recess 5 that divides the upper storage space 51 between the upper cushioning material 7 and the packaging box 2, at least a portion of the power cord 42 is stored in the upper recess 52, and the cover portion 25 is closed.
[0055] In the process of winding the sheet 5 onto the equipment 3, the beginning end of the winding of the sheet 5 is wrapped around the equipment 3. The sheet 5 can be wound onto the equipment 3 simply by wrapping the sheet 5 around the equipment 3. And by leaving a margin at the end of the winding of the sheet 5, the excess length 5a can be easily formed.
[0056] When the upper cushioning material 7 is placed over the equipment 3, the excess length 5a of the sheet 5 preferably passes between the upper cushioning material 7 and the inner surface of the packing box 2, and hangs down from the upper opening 23 of the packing box 2 to the outside of the packing box 2. Furthermore, at this time, it is preferable that the power cord 42 passes between the excess length 5a of the sheet 5 and the inner surface of the packing box 2, and hangs down from the upper opening 23 of the packing box 2 to the outside of the packing box 2. This significantly reduces the hassle of packing operations.
[0057] Furthermore, when the instruction manual 58 of the device 3 is bundled together with the package body 1, it can be pre-positioned between the upper cushioning material 7 and the cover 25 of the package box 2. Simply place the instruction manual 58 over the upper cushioning material 7 and close the cover 25. Alternatively, the instruction manual 58 can be laid on the inner bottom surface of the package box 2 on the lower cushioning material 6, or it can be sandwiched in the gap between the inner side of the package box 2 and the lower cushioning material 6.
[0058] Furthermore, when the power cord 42 is stored in the recess of the lower buffer material 6, the power cord 42 can be placed in the recess as long as the sheet 5 and the device 3 are integrated into the packaging box 2 in such a way that the lower buffer material 6 is sandwiched between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the bottom wall portion 21 and between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around it and the side wall portion 22.
[0059] The packaging body 1 of this embodiment, configured as described above, includes at least one upper cushioning material 7 that houses at least a portion of the power cord 42 in the upper recess 52, separated by the excess length 5a of the sheet 5, or at least one lower cushioning material 6 that houses at least a portion of the power cord 42 in the lower recess, separated by the excess length 5a of the sheet 5. Therefore, the packaging body 1 can easily prevent plasticizers contained in the cover or outer packaging of the power cord 42 from transferring to the foamed styrene cushioning materials 6, 7. The sheet 5 has traditionally been used for the purpose of protecting the device 3. By having the excess length 5a in the sheet 5, the packaging body 1 can reduce the costs incurred from using bags to prevent direct contact between the power cord 42 and the cushioning materials 6, 7, and from providing spools for housing the power cord 42 in the device 3, and also helps to reduce the labor costs of packaging operations.
[0060] Furthermore, the packaging body 1 of this embodiment houses a device 3 having a power cord 42 that reaches the upper or lower recess 52 by being wound between the sheet 5 wound around the main body 41 and the packaging box 2. Therefore, in order to prevent plasticizers contained in the cover or outer packaging of the power cord 42 from transferring to the foamed styrene cushioning material 6, 7, the packaging body 1 has a structure that allows the power cord 42 to be easily placed inside the packaging box 2, and provides an easy packaging process for personnel using the packaging device 3.
[0061] Furthermore, the packaging body 1 of this embodiment includes a sheet 5 wound around the main body 41, having an excess length 5a at one end. Therefore, to prevent plasticizers contained in the cover or outer packaging of the power cord 42 from transferring to the expanded polystyrene cushioning materials 6 and 7, the packaging body 1 has a structure that allows the sheet 5 to be easily wound around the device 3, and provides an easy packaging process for personnel using the packaging device 3. By making one end of the sheet 5 the end where winding ends, the beginning of winding of the sheet 5 can be wound around the device 3. The sheet 5 can be wound around the device 3 simply by wrapping it around the device 3, and by leaving an excess length at the end where winding ends, the excess length 5a can be easily formed.
[0062] Furthermore, the packaging body 1 of this embodiment includes a sheet 5 having an excess length 5a that completely covers the upper surface of at least one upper cushioning material 7 and completely covers the lower surface of at least one lower cushioning material 6. Therefore, the packaging body 1 ensures that the power cord 42 reaching the upper or lower recess does not come into contact with a portion of the upper cushioning material 7 that is not in the upper recess 52, or a portion of the lower cushioning material 6 that is not in the lower recess, thus more reliably preventing plasticizers contained in the covering or outer packaging of the power cord 42 from transferring to the foamed styrene cushioning materials 6 and 7.
[0063] Furthermore, the package body 1 of this embodiment includes a pair of lower cushioning materials 6 located at the bottom of the package box 2 and spaced apart on opposite inner sides. Therefore, the package body 1, for example, reduces the chance of contact between the power cord 42 and the cushioning materials 6 and 7 compared to the case where the package body 1 has cushioning material that is laid all over the bottom of the package box 2.
[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the packaging body 1 is used to package the rice cooker 43, with the power cord 42 extending directly out, as the device 3. Therefore, the packaging body 1 helps to miniaturize the rice cooker 43 because it does not have a spool for the power cord 42.
[0065] In addition, the packaging method of this embodiment is as follows: a packaging box 2 is prepared, a sheet 5 is wound around a device 3 having a main body 41 and a power cord 42 extending from the main body 41, at least one lower cushioning material 6 is arranged at the bottom of the packaging box 2, at least one lower cushioning material 6 is sandwiched between the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around and the bottom wall portion 21 and between the main body 41 and the side wall portion 22, at least one upper cushioning material 7 is covered over the main body 41 with the sheet 5 wound around while avoiding the excess length portion 5a of the sheet 5, the excess length portion 5a is covered over the upper recess 52 that divides the upper storage space 51 between at least one upper cushioning material 7 and the packaging box 2, at least a portion of the power cord 42 is stored in the upper recess 52, and the cover portion 25 is closed. Therefore, based on previous packaging methods, the packaging method eliminates the process of separately bagging the power cord 42, which simplifies the packaging operation, reduces labor costs, and can easily prevent the plasticizer contained in the power cord 42's cover or outer packaging from transferring to the foamed styrene cushioning material 6, 7.
[0066] Therefore, the packaging body 1 and the packaging method of this utility model can easily and inexpensively prevent the power cord 42 of the device 3 from contacting the buffer materials 6 and 7.

These new embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the utility model. These embodiments and their variations are included in the scope and spirit of the utility model, and are included in the scope of the utility model and its equivalents as set forth in the claims.
