The arrows shown in Figs. 1 to 6 indicate the front-rear, up-down, front-back directions of the package 100. In the embodiment, the front-rear direction (depth direction) corresponds to the "predetermined first direction", the up-down direction (height direction) perpendicular to the front-rear direction corresponds to the "second direction", and the front-rear direction (thickness direction) perpendicular to the front-rear and up-down directions corresponds to the "third direction". However, the "first direction" and "second direction" according to the present disclosure are not limited to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. The front-rear, up-down, front-back directions in this specification merely indicate the relative positional relationship of each panel constituting the package 100. The second direction according to the present disclosure may be any direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the third direction may be any direction perpendicular to the first and second directions.

[0023] [Overall configuration] As shown in Fig. 3, the package 100 according to the embodiment is a packaging member for housing an object 200 including an inhaler 210, and is formed by folding a blank B100 described later. The package 100 is configured so that an outer box part designated by reference numeral 10 can be opened and closed, and is configured so that it can be switched between a closed state in which the outer box part 10 is closed as shown in Fig. 1 and an open state in which the outer box part 10 is open as shown in Fig. 2. A user of the package 100 can store or remove an object by opening the package 100. When the package 100 is in a closed state with the object 200 housed therein, the object 200 is packaged by the package 100.

[0024] The package 100 is used, for example, for the purpose of transporting, storing, trading, and displaying the inhaler 210. The inhaler 210 is, for example, a heating device of an electrically heated inhaler (a so-called heated tobacco product). The heating device generates an aerosol containing a flavor component by heating a flavor inhalation article containing, for example, a tobacco material and an aerosol source. However, the inhaler 210 is not limited to a heating device of an electrically heated inhaler. The contained object 200 according to the present embodiment includes, for example, the inhaler 210, a power supply device (AC-DC adapter) 220, a power cord (USB cable) 230, and an instruction manual 240. The power supply device (AC-DC adapter) 220, the power cord (USB cable) 230, and the instruction manual 240 are packed in the package 100 together with the inhaler 210. The power supply device (AC-DC adapter) 220 and the power cord (USB cable) 230 are accessories for supplying power to the inhaler 210. The instruction manual 240 is, for example, a paper booklet in which the operation method of the inhaler 210 is described. The contained objects according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above. The contained objects of the package for a non-combustion type flavor inhaler according to the present disclosure may include at least a non-combustion type flavor inhaler, may be only a non-combustion type flavor inhaler, or may include objects other than the above-mentioned accessories.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the package 100 includes an outer box part 10 in the shape of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box that constitutes the outer shape of the package 100. The outer box part 10 includes a rear wall 1, a front wall 2, a front wall 3, a rear wall 4, a lower wall 5, and an upper wall 6. The rear wall 1, the front wall 2, the front wall 3, the rear wall 4, the lower wall 5, and the upper wall 6 constitute the rear surface, the front surface, the front surface, the rear surface, the lower surface, and the upper surface of the package 100, respectively. The rear wall 1 and the front wall 2 are perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the package 100 and are arranged opposite each other with a gap in the front-rear direction (third direction). In the front-rear direction, the rear wall 1 is arranged on the rear side, and the front wall 2 is arranged on the front side. The rear wall 1 is an example of a "wall part" and a "rear wall part" according to the present disclosure. The front wall 2 is an example of a "front wall part" according to the present disclosure. The front wall 3 and the rear wall 4 are perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the package 100 and are arranged opposite each other with a gap in the front-rear direction (first direction). In the front-rear direction, the front wall 3 is arranged on the front side, and the rear wall 4 is arranged on the rear side. The front wall 3 is an example of a "first side wall portion" according to the present disclosure. The rear wall 4 is an example of a "second side wall portion" according to the present disclosure. The front wall 3 and the rear wall 4 are also an example of a "pair of side wall portions arranged opposite each other with a gap in the first direction". The bottom wall 5 and the top wall 6 are perpendicular to the up-down direction of the package 100 and are arranged opposite each other with a gap in the up-down direction (second direction). In the up-down direction, the bottom wall 5 is arranged on the lower side, and the top wall 6 is arranged on the upper side. The wall 5 is an example of a "third side wall" according to the present disclosure. The upper wall 6 is an example of a "fourth side wall" according to the present disclosure. When the inhaler 210 is transported, stored, traded, or displayed, the package 100 is used with the lower wall 5 facing vertically downward, for example.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the package 100 includes a holding section 20 provided inside the outer box section 10. The holding section 20 has a cylindrical tubular section 30 that extends in the front-rear direction (first direction) and can hold the contained object 200. The tubular section 30 holds the aspirator 210, for example. The tubular section 30 corresponds to the dimensions of the aspirator 210 and fits and holds the aspirator 210. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the tubular section may hold other contained objects. In addition, the tubular section 30 according to this example is formed in a square tube shape, for example, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the shape of the tube can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the contained object. Details will be described later, but the package 100 according to the embodiment is configured so that the holding section 20 can absorb impacts in the vertical direction (first direction) to ensure the impact resistance of the package 100 itself and to suitably protect the aspirator 210 from impacts.

[0027] [Panel configuration] FIG. 7 is a plan view of a blank B100 for forming a package 100 according to an embodiment. FIG. 7 illustrates a state in which the package 100 is unfolded with the rear wall 1 as a reference. Therefore, the up-down direction (first direction) and the front-rear direction (second direction) in FIG. 7 correspond to the rear wall 1 of the package 100. Here, of both sides of the blank B100, the side visible in FIG. 7 is the first side S10, and the opposite side (rear side) is the second side S20. The blank B100 is formed into a substantially rectangular sheet shape from a paperboard mainly made of pulp. The dashed lines in FIG. 7 represent folding lines. The package 100 is assembled by folding this one blank B100 along the folding lines. The blank B100 is formed, for example, by punching a paperboard into the shape of the blank B100 and forming folding lines and cutting lines. The performance of the paperboard material of the blank B100 is not particularly limited, but considering the weight of the aspirator 210, the blank B100 preferably has a paper thickness of 400 to 650 μm from the viewpoint of protecting the aspirator 210. From the above viewpoint, the blank B100 preferably has a basis weight of 300 gsm or more. From the viewpoint of ease of molding and manufacturing costs, the blank B100 preferably has a basis weight of 600 gsm or less.

[0028] Since paperboard is easy to recycle, the use of paperboard for the package 100 can reduce the environmental load compared to the use of plastic materials. Furthermore, the use of paperboard for the package 100 can reduce the amount of water used and CO2 emissions during package manufacturing compared to the use of valve mold materials. Furthermore, since paperboard is easy to decorate, such as by printing, the use of paperboard for the package 100 can increase the degree of freedom in design. Furthermore, since the package 100 is assembled by folding the blank B100, the development lead time, manufacturing lead time, and manufacturing cost can be reduced compared to the case of manufacturing a package by a plastic mold or a valve mold, which requires the creation of a metal mold. Note that the material of the blank according to the present disclosure is not limited to paper. The blank may be formed of a foldable plate material, and may be formed of, for example, a plastic material or an aluminum material. The blank may be formed of a material that combines paper with a plastic material or an aluminum material, such as, for example, a film-laminated paper or an aluminum-laminated paper.

[0029] Moreover, the blank B100 is formed of paperboard with at least one side coated. In this embodiment, as an example, the second side S20 is a coated side, and the first side S10 is an uncoated side that is not coated and exposes the paper material. A coating layer is formed on the second side S20 by applying paint. The coating composition is not particularly limited, but it is possible to use a general coating agent that is normally used in printing. This allows the second side S20 to have a superior aesthetic appearance and smoothness compared to the first side S10, and furthermore, the blank B100 may have a coated surface on both sides. However, in the present disclosure, it is not essential that at least one side of the blank be a coated surface, and both sides may be uncoated.

[0030] As shown in Figure 7, the blank B100 is composed of a back wall panel P1, a front wall panel P2, a standing panel P31, an inner panel P32, an outer panel P33, a rear wall panel P4, a lower wall panel P5, an upper wall panel P6, a back panel P7, a three-dimensional panel P8, an engagement panel P9, a closure panel P10, flap panels FP1, FP2, insert panels IP1, IP2, and an adhesive panel AP1.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the rear wall panel P1 is a panel that constitutes the rear wall 1 of the package 100. As shown in FIG. 7, the rear wall panel P1 has a first side end P1a and a second side end P1b that extend in the second direction (up-down direction) and a third side end P1c and a fourth side end P1d that extend in the first direction (front-rear direction), and is formed in a quadrangular shape. The first side end P1a and the second side end P1b are opposite each other, and in the package 100, the first side end P1a constitutes the front side of the rear wall 1 and the second side end P1b constitutes the rear side of the rear wall 1. The third side end P1c and the fourth side end P1d are opposite each other, and in the package 100, the third side end P1c constitutes the lower side of the rear wall 1 and the fourth side end P1d constitutes the upper side of the rear wall 1.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 7, the first side end P1a of the rear wall panel P1 is connected in sequence in the first direction with the standing panel P31, the inner panel P32, the back panel P7, the closing panel P10, and the flap panel FP2. The second side end P1b of the rear wall panel P1 is connected in sequence in the first direction with the rear wall panel P4, the front wall panel P2, and the outer panel P33. The third side end P1c of the rear wall panel P1 is connected in sequence in the second direction with the lower wall panel P5 and the flap panel FP1. The fourth side end P1d of the rear wall panel P1 is connected in sequence in the second direction with the upper wall panel P6 and the flap panel FP1.

[0033] The front wall panel P2 is a rectangular panel that constitutes the front wall 2 of the package 100. The upright panel P31, the inner panel P32, and the outer panel P33 are rectangular panels that cooperate to constitute the front wall 3 of the package 100. The rear wall panel P4 is a rectangular panel that constitutes the rear wall 4 of the package 100. The lower wall panel P5 is a rectangular panel that constitutes the lower wall 5 of the package 100. The upper wall panel P6 is a rectangular panel that constitutes the upper wall 6 of the package 100. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the upright panel P31, the rear wall panel P4, the lower wall panel P5, and the upper wall panel P6 are folded upright relative to the rear wall panel P1 in the package 100. The front wall panel P2 is folded to face the rear wall panel P1 in the package 100. The inner panel P32 is folded back to overlap the upright panel P31 from the inside of the outer box part 10 in the package 100. The outer panel P33 is connected to the front wall 2 of the package 100, and is folded so as to overlap the standing panel P31 from the outside of the outer box part 10.

[0034] The flap panel FP1 has a rectangular shape and, as shown in FIG. 4, is folded inward from the front edges of the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6 of the package 100 and inserted between the back wall panel P1 and the front wall panel P2.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 7, an insert panel IP1 is provided adjacent to both end portions in the second direction of the standing panel P31. The insert panel IP1 is formed in a rounded fan shape from the base end to the tip, and in the package 100, both upper and lower end portions of the standing panel P31 are folded inwardly into the outer box part 10 and inserted between the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6 (see Fig. 11). Also, the insert panel IP1 is provided adjacent both end portions in the second direction of the outer panel P33. 2 are provided in series. The insert panel IP2 is formed in a rounded fan shape from the base end to the tip end, and is folded inward from both upper and lower end portions of the outer panel P33 in the package 100 into the outer box part 10 (see FIG. 11). In the package 100, the lower insert panel IP2 is inserted between the lower wall panel P5 and the lower insert panel IP1, and the upper insert panel IP2 is inserted between the upper wall panel P6 and the upper insert panel IP1. In addition, adhesive panels AP1 are provided in series at both end portions in the second direction of the rear wall panel P4. The adhesive panel AP1 has a rectangular shape, and is folded inward from both upper and lower end portions of the rear wall panel P4 in the package 100 into the outer box part 10, and is inserted between the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6 (see FIG. 10). In the package 100, the lower adhesive panel AP1 is adhered to the lower wall panel P5, and the upper adhesive panel AP1 is adhered to the upper wall panel P6.

[0036] The rear panel P7 has a rectangular shape and is arranged so as to overlap the rear wall 1 in the package 100 as shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 7, the width of the rear panel P7 in the first direction is smaller than the width of the rear wall panel P1 in the first direction. That is, the rear panel P7 is smaller than the distance between the front wall 3 and the rear wall 4 in the first direction. Also, the width of the rear panel P7 in the second direction is smaller than the width of the rear wall panel P1 in the second direction. That is, the rear panel P7 is smaller than the distance between the lower wall 5 and the upper wall 6 in the second direction. At one side end (the lower end in this example) of the rear panel P7 in the first direction, the three-dimensional panel P8 and the engagement panel P9 are sequentially connected in the first direction.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 7, the three-dimensional panel P8 is connected to the rear panel P7 with one side end (lower end in this example) of the rear panel P7 in the second direction as a base end. As shown in FIG. 4, in the package 100, the three-dimensional panel P8 is folded to cooperate with the rear panel P7 to form the tubular portion 30. As shown in FIG. 7, the three-dimensional panel P8 includes a side panel P81, a front panel P82, and a side panel P83, which are successively connected to the rear panel P7 in the first direction. The side panel P81 has a substantially rectangular shape, and is folded upright relative to the rear panel P7 in the package 100 as shown in FIG. The front panel P82 has a substantially rectangular shape, and is folded to face the rear panel P7 in the package 100 as shown in FIG. The side panel P83 has a substantially rectangular shape, and is folded to face the side panel P81 in the package 100 as shown in FIG. The rear panel P7, the side panel P81, the front panel P82, and the side panel P83 form the cylindrical part 30 in the shape of a square tube extending in the first direction. The cylindrical part 30 can hold the object 200 inserted into the cylindrical part 30. In this embodiment, as an example, the aspirator 210 is held by the cylindrical part 30. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, in the package 100, a space is formed on both sides of the cylindrical part 30 in the second direction. More specifically, a space S5 is formed between the side panel P81 constituting the cylindrical part 30 and the lower wall 5, and a space S6 is formed between the side panel P83 constituting the cylindrical part 30 and the upper wall 6. The spaces S5 and S6 can accommodate the object 200. In this embodiment, as an example, the power supply device 220 is accommodated in the space S5. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, a space S2 capable of accommodating the object 200 is formed between the cylindrical part 30 (specifically, the front panel P82) and the front wall 2. In this embodiment, as an example, an instruction manual 240 is stored in the space S2. Also, as shown in Fig. 5, a space S4 capable of storing an object 200 is formed between the closing panel P10 and the rear wall 4. In this embodiment, as an example, a power cord 230 is stored in the space S4.

[0038] 7, the front panel P82 is formed with a window hole P8a, which is a through hole for making a part of the inhaler 210 visible from the outside of the cylindrical portion 30 in the package 100. The window hole P8a is formed at a position near the side end that is distal to the engagement panel P9 among both side ends in the second direction of the front panel P82. , is formed on the front panel P82 at a position relatively far from the engagement panel P9.

[0039] The width of the side panel P81 in the first direction and the width of the front panel P82 in the first direction are equal to the width of the rear panel P7 in the first direction, and the width of the side panel P83 in the first direction is smaller than the width of the rear panel P7 in the first direction. Also, as shown in Fig. 4, in the package 100, the width in the third direction of the side panel P81 standing upright relative to the rear panel P7 and the width in the third direction of the side panel P83 facing the side panel P81 are equal to each other and smaller than the distance between the rear wall 1 and the front wall 2 in the third direction. Also, the width of the front panel P82 in the second direction is equal to the width of the rear panel P7 in the second direction.

[0040] When the connection end between the rear panel P7 and the three-dimensional panel P8 (i.e., the above-mentioned one side end of the rear panel P7 in the second direction, which is the lower end in this example) is the base end of the three-dimensional panel P8, the engagement panel P9 is connected to the tip end of the three-dimensional panel P8. The engagement panel P9 maintains (fixes) the cylindrical body part 30 in a cylindrical shape by engaging with the other side end (upper end in this example) of the rear panel P7 in the second direction in the package 100. The engagement panel P9 has a base part P9a connected to the three-dimensional panel P8, slits P9b and P9c formed in the base part P9a, and an insertion piece P9d extended from the base part P9a. In FIG. 7, the range of the insertion piece P9d is represented by a dot pattern.

[0041] The base portion P9a has a rectangular shape, and is disposed above the rear panel P7 so as to overlap the rear wall 1 in the package 100, as shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 7, the width of the base portion P9a in the first direction is greater than the width of the side panel P83 in the first direction and is equal to the width of the rear wall panel P1 in the first direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the width of the engagement panel P9 in the first direction is equal to the distance between a pair of side wall portions (front wall 3 and rear wall 4) in the first direction. Therefore, in the package 100, both side ends of the engagement panel P9 in the first direction are in abutment with the pair of side wall portions, respectively. In detail, the front end of the engagement panel P9 abuts with the front wall 3, and the rear end abuts with the rear wall 4. This restricts the movement of the engagement panel P9 in the first direction.

[0042] The slits P9b and P9c are formed in the base portion P9a and extend along the second direction. Here, the reference symbol L1 in FIG. 7 indicates a folding line which is a connection portion between the three-dimensional panel P8 and the engagement panel P9. More specifically, the folding line L1 is a connection portion between the side panel P83 of the three-dimensional panel P8 and the base portion P9a of the engagement panel P9. The slits P9b and P9c are provided on both sides of the folding line L1 in the first direction. Here, the reference symbol VL1 in FIG. 7 indicates a virtual extension line when the slit P9b is extended along the second direction, and the reference symbol VL2 indicates a virtual extension line when the slit P9c is extended along the second direction. The slit P9b is formed in the engagement panel P9 so that the virtual extension line VL1 passes through the back panel P7. As a result, in the package 100, the slit P9b can receive the other end (upper end) of the back panel P7. The slit P9c is also formed in the engagement panel P9 so that its imaginary extension line VL2 passes through the rear panel P7. More specifically, the imaginary extension line VL2 coincides with the fold line L2 which is the connection portion between the rear panel P7 and the closure panel P10. This allows the slit P9c in the package 100 to receive the upper end of the rear panel P7.

[0043] The insertion piece P9d is formed along the imaginary extension line VL1. As shown in Fig. 4, the insertion piece P9d extends downward from the base portion P9a in the second direction in the package 100 and is inserted between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7 to engage with the rear panel P7. As a result, the engagement panel P9 is engaged with the rear panel P7, and the rear panel P7 and the three-dimensional panel P8 form the cylindrical portion 30.

[0044] 4, when the object 200 (in this example, the suction device 210) is held in the cylindrical portion 30, the rear panel P7 and the insertion piece P9d are sandwiched between the rear wall 1 and the object 200. Furthermore, the weight of the object 200 presses the rear panel P7 and the insertion piece P9d toward the rear wall 1. This prevents the insertion piece P9d and the rear panel P7 from separating from the rear wall 1 and slipping out from between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7. This maintains the engagement between the insertion piece P9d and the rear panel P7, and maintains the cylindrical portion 30 in a cylindrical shape.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 6, in the package 100, the engagement panel P9 is formed so that when the engagement panel P9 is at a position where the leading end of the engagement panel P9 abuts against the outer box part 10, the insertion piece P9d is inserted between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7. Here, the leading end of the engagement panel P9 is, in detail, the end opposite the connection end with the three-dimensional panel P8, and in this example, the upper end of the engagement panel P9. As shown in FIG. 6, when the upper end of the engagement panel P9 abuts against the upper wall 6 of the outer box part 10, the insertion piece P9d is inserted between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7. In this state, the engagement panel P9 is restricted from moving along the second direction in a direction in which the insertion piece P9d slips out from between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7 (upward in this example). This prevents the engagement panel P9 from moving along the second direction and the insertion piece P9d from slipping out from between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7. This also maintains the engagement between the insertion piece P9d and the rear panel P7, and keeps the cylindrical portion 30 in a cylindrical shape.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 2, the closure panel P10 has a substantially rectangular shape, and as shown in Fig. 5, by folding it upright relative to the back panel P7 in the package 100, it closes the open end on the rear wall 4 side of both ends of the tubular portion 30 in the first direction. In other words, the closure panel P10 closes the rear end of the tubular portion 30 in the package 100. As shown in Fig. 2, the flap panel FP2 has a rectangular shape, and as shown in Fig. 4, in the package 100, it is folded from the front end edge of the closure panel P10 into the inside of the tubular portion 30 and inserted between the back panel P7 and the front panel P82.

[0047] [Assembly Instructions] 8 to 12 are diagrams for explaining the procedure for assembling the package 100 according to the embodiment. Hereinafter, the procedure for assembling the package 100 and accommodating the contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0048] First, as shown in Fig. 8, the blank B100 is folded in half by folding the blank B100 toward the first surface S10 along the boundary line (fold line) between the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32 so that the second surface S20, which is the coated surface, faces outward. This results in the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32 overlapping, and the rear panel P7 overlapping the rear wall panel P1.

[0049] Next, as shown in Fig. 9, the rear wall panel P4, the lower wall panel P5, and the upper wall panel P6 are raised relative to the rear wall panel P1. At this time, the pair of adhesive panels AP1, AP1 are folded in so as to face each other, and inserted between the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6. Then, the lower adhesive panel AP1 is adhered to the lower wall panel P5, and the upper adhesive panel AP1 is adhered to the upper wall panel P6. In addition, the side panel P81 and the closing panel P10 are raised relative to the rear panel P7, and the flap panel FP2 is folded in so as to face the rear panel P7.

[0050] 10, the front panel P82 is folded in so as to face the rear panel P7, and the side panel P83 is folded in so as to face the side panel P81, and these are overlapped on the flap panel FP2 from the front side. The blank B100 is inserted between the panel P7. As a result, the cylindrical portion 30 is formed, and the spaces S4, S5, and S6 are defined. This results in the package 100 being in an assembled state. At this time, the package 100 is in an open state. The blank B100 is also folded so that the second surface S20, which is the coating surface, forms the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 30.

[0051] 11, the aspirator 210 is inserted from the opening at the front end of the cylindrical portion 30, the power cord 230 is placed in the space S4, and the power supply unit 220 is placed in the space S5. This results in the object 200 being contained in the package 100.

[0052] Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the instruction manual 240 is placed in the space S2. Then, the pair of flap panels FP1, FP1 are folded so as to face the rear wall panel P1. Then, the standing panel P31 is made to stand up against the rear wall panel P1. Also, the pair of insert panels IP1, IP1 are folded so as to face each other, and are inserted between the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6. This fixes the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32. Also, the front wall panel P2 is folded so as to face the rear wall panel P1, and is overlapped on the pair of flap panels FP1, FP1 from the front side. Then, the pair of insert panels IP2, IP2 are folded so as to face each other, and are inserted between the lower wall panel P5, the upper wall panel P6, and the insert panel IP1. This fixes the front wall panel P2 and the outer panel P33, and forms the front wall 2 and the front wall 3. As a result, the package 100 is in a closed state.

[0053] [Opening and closing operation] Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross section perpendicular to the second direction of the package 100 in an open state containing an object to be contained. As described above, the package 100 according to the embodiment is configured to be switchable between the closed state shown in Fig. 4 and the open state shown in Fig. 13.

[0054] First, an opening operation for changing the package 100 from a closed state to an open state as shown in Fig. 13 will be described. First, the outer panel P33 is rotated around the fold line L3, which is the connection between the front wall 2 (front wall panel P2) and the outer panel P33, as a hinge axis, and the pair of insert panels IP2, IP2 (not shown in Fig. 13) are pulled out from between the lower wall panel P5, the upper wall panel P6 and the insert panel IP1 (not shown in Fig. 13). This releases the front wall panel P2 and the outer panel P33 from their fixed positions. In this state, the front wall 2 of the outer box part 10 is opened by rotating the front wall panel P2 around the fold line L4, which is the connection between the rear wall 4 (rear wall panel P4) and the front wall panel P2, as a hinge axis. Next, the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32 are rotated around the fold line L5, which is the connection between the rear wall 1 (rear wall panel P1) and the standing panel P31, as a hinge axis, and the pair of insertion panels IP1, IP1 are pulled out from between the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6. This releases the fixing of the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32, and the front wall 3 of the outer box part 10 is opened.

[0055] In the open state, the front wall 3 of the outer box part 10 is open, making it easy to put the contained item 200 in and take it out of the cylindrical part 30 through the open end on the front wall 3 side of the cylindrical part 30. Also, in the open state, the front wall 2 of the outer box part 10 is open, making it easy to put the contained item 200 in and take it out of the spaces S2, S4, S5, S6. Note that, although both the front wall 3 and the front wall 2 are open in the open state shown in Fig. 13, the package 100 according to the embodiment is configured so that only one of the front wall 3 and the front wall 2 (only the front wall 3 or only the front wall 2) can also be opened.

[0056] Next, the closing operation for changing the package 100 from an open state to a closed state will be described. The closing operation is the reverse of the above-mentioned opening operation. That is, first, the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32 are rotated about the fold line L5 as a hinge axis so as to stand up against the back wall 1, and the pair of insertion panels IP1, IP1 are inserted between the lower wall panel P5 and the upper wall panel P6. This fixes the standing panel P31 and the inner panel P32 in place. Next, the fold line L4 is hinged. The front wall panel P2 is rotated so as to face the rear wall 1, and the outer panel P33 is rotated around the fold line L3 as a hinge axis, and the pair of insertion panels IP2, IP2 are inserted between the lower wall panel P5, the upper wall panel P6 and the insertion panel IP1 (not shown in FIG. 13). As a result, the front wall panel P2 and the outer panel P33 are fixed, and the package 100 is in a closed state.

[0057] [Buffer structure] Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic state when an impact in the second direction is applied to the package 100. Fig. 14 shows a cross section perpendicular to the first direction of the package 100 in a closed state containing an object to be contained, and the object to be contained is not shown. Hereinafter, with reference to Fig. 14, as an example, a case will be described in which the package 100 containing the object to be contained 200 falls to the ground with the bottom wall 5 facing vertically downward (facing downward in the direction of gravity) and collides with the ground.

[0058] In this case, an impact load acts on the engagement panel P9 of the package 100 downward in the second direction. As described above, the engagement panel P9 according to the embodiment has slits P9b and P9c extending along the vertical direction (second direction) and capable of receiving the upper end of the back panel P7. Therefore, the engagement panel P9 is allowed to slide downward without being hindered by the back panel P7 or the blocking panel P10. As a result, when the engagement panel P9 slides downward, the holding portion 20 (the engagement panel P9 and the three-dimensional panel P8) functions as a kind of buffer spring (buffer structure) and buffers the impact in the vertical direction. In addition, the slits P9b and P9c prevent the engagement panel P9 from interfering with the back panel P7 or the blocking panel P10. This prevents the engagement panel P9 from being deformed or damaged by the impact in the vertical direction.

[0059] [Actions and Effects] As described above, the package 100 is formed by folding the blank B100, and can accommodate the object 200 to be contained, including the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 210. The package 100 includes a box-shaped outer box part 10 that constitutes the outer shape of the package 100, and a holding part 20 provided inside the outer box part 10. The holding part 20 has a cylindrical body part 30 that extends in the front-rear direction (a predetermined first direction) and can hold the object 200 to be contained. The holding part 20 includes a back panel P7 arranged to overlap the back wall 1 of the outer box part 10, a three-dimensional panel P8 that is connected to the back panel P7 with a lower end (one side end) of the back panel P7 in the up-down direction (second direction) perpendicular to the front-rear direction as a base end, the three-dimensional panel P8 folded to cooperate with the back panel P7 to form the cylindrical body part 30, and an engagement panel P9 connected to the tip end of the three-dimensional panel P8. The engagement panel P9 is formed with an insertion piece P9d that is inserted between the rear wall 1 of the outer box part 10 and the rear panel P7 from the upper end (the other end in the second direction) side of the rear panel P7.

[0060] According to the package 100 of the embodiment, the cylindrical portion 30 can be formed by inserting the insertion piece P9d between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7, so that the cylindrical portion 30 can be easily assembled. This makes it easy to assemble the package 100 by folding one blank. Also, since the cylindrical portion 30 can be formed by simply folding the blank B100 without the need for joining with adhesive tape or glue, it is possible to reduce the number of joints with adhesive tape and glued portions with adhesive throughout the package 100. This allows for resource conservation.

[0061] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional panel P8 is connected to the lower end of the rear panel P7, and the insertion piece P9d is inserted between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7 from the upper end side of the rear panel P7, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. The three-dimensional panel P8 is connected to the upper end of the rear panel P7, and the insertion piece P9d is inserted between the rear wall 1 and the rear panel P7 from the lower end side of the rear panel P7. The outer box part 10 according to the present embodiment is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The outer box part according to the present disclosure may have any shape having a wall part on which the back panel can be overlapped.

[0062] Furthermore, in the package 100 according to this embodiment, the engagement panel P9 is formed with slits P9b and P9c capable of receiving the upper end of the rear panel P7 so that the engagement panel P9 is movable along the second direction (up-down direction).

[0063] According to this, when an impact in the second direction is applied to the package 100 due to, for example, a drop, the engagement panel P9 moves along the second direction, and the engagement panel P9 and the three-dimensional panel P8 function as a buffer structure to buffer the impact in the second direction. In addition, the slits P9b and P9c receive the back panel P7, and the engagement panel P9 can suppress deformation and damage. As a result, the impact resistance of the package 100 can be improved and the contained object 200 can be suitably protected from impact. This is more suitable when the aspirator 210, which is a relatively heavy contained object 200, is held by the cylindrical body portion 30. The length (slit width) of the slits P9b and P9c in the second direction is not particularly limited, but for example, when the weight of the aspirator 210 held by the cylindrical body portion 30 is 50 [g] and the basis weight of the blank B100 is 350 [gsm], it is preferable to set the slit width to 12 [mm]. The length of the slits P9b and P9c in the third direction (slit length) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50% to 100% of the length of the insertion piece P9d in the third direction. The slit length may be adjusted according to the weight of the object 200 to be contained, and it is preferable to make the slit length longer as the weight becomes smaller.

[0064] Furthermore, in the package 100 of the embodiment, the outer box portion 10 includes a pair of side wall portions (front wall 3 and rear wall 4) arranged opposite each other with a gap in the first direction (front-to-back direction), and the width of the engaging panel P9 in the first direction is equal to the distance between the pair of side wall portions (front wall 3 and rear wall 4) in the first direction.

[0065] This makes it possible to restrict movement of the engagement panel P9 in the first direction, thereby preventing the tubular portion 30 from losing its shape due to movement of the engagement panel P9 along the first direction.

[0066] Furthermore, in the package 100 of the embodiment, the three-dimensional panel P8 includes a front panel P82 folded to face the rear panel, and the front panel P82 has a window hole P8a formed therein to make a portion of the contained item 200 held in the cylindrical portion visible from outside the cylindrical portion 30.

[0067] This allows the user to visually recognize the characteristic portion of the contained object 200 from the outside of the cylindrical portion 30. For example, the user can visually recognize a logo printed on the surface of the inhalator 210 through the window hole P8a.

[0068] In this case, from the viewpoint of ensuring the strength of the front panel P82, the ratio of the opening area of ​​the window hole P8a to the area of ​​the front panel P82 is preferably 5% to 40%, more preferably 5% to 20%, and even more preferably 5% to 10%. However, the opening area of ​​the window hole according to the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0069] In order to enhance the functionality of the above-mentioned buffer structure, the window hole P8a is preferably formed at a position closer to the side end (lower end in this example) of both side ends in the second direction of the front panel P82 that is distal to the engagement panel P9. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0070] In the package 100 according to the embodiment, the holding section 20 includes a closing panel P10 that is connected to the side end on the rear wall 4 side of both side ends in the first direction of the rear panel P7 and closes the open end on the rear wall 4 side of both ends of the cylindrical section 30 in the first direction, and a space S4 capable of housing the contained object 200 (power cord 230 in this example) is formed between the closing panel P10 and the rear wall 4. This not only allows the contained object 200 to be housed in the space S4, but also allows the space S4 and the contained object housed in the space S4 to function as a cushioning material. As a result, the impact resistance of the package 100 can be improved.

[0071] Moreover, in the package 100 according to the embodiment, a space S2 capable of housing an object 200 (in this example, an instruction manual 240) is formed between the front wall 2 and the cylindrical portion 30. This not only allows the object 200 to be housed in the space S4, but also allows the space S2 and the object housed in the space S2 to function as a cushioning material. As a result, the impact resistance of the package 100 can be improved.

[0072] Here, as shown in FIG. 5, in the first direction, three panels, an inner panel P32, an upright panel P31, and an outer panel P33, are arranged in front of the aspirator 210 held by the cylindrical body portion 30, and two panels, a blocking panel P10 and a rear wall panel P4, and a space S4 are arranged behind the aspirator 210. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, in the second direction, two panels, a side panel P81 and a lower wall 5, and a space S5 are arranged below the aspirator 210, and two panels, a side panel P83 and an upper wall 6, and a space S6 are arranged above the aspirator 210. Also, in the third direction, two panels, a rear panel P7 and a rear wall 1, are arranged behind the aspirator 210, and two panels, a front panel P82 and a front wall 2, and a space S2 are arranged on the front side of the aspirator 210.

[0073] That is, in this embodiment, two or more panels are arranged on both sides of the aspirator 210 in the first direction (front-back direction), the second direction (up-down direction), and the third direction (front-back direction). As a result, the aspirator 210 is protected by two or more panels on both sides of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. As a result, the aspirator 210 can be suitably protected. In terms of strengthening the protection of the contained object held in the cylindrical part, it is sufficient that at least one of a space capable of containing the contained object and two or more panels is arranged on both sides of the contained object in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. As a result, the contained object 200 is protected by at least one of a space and two or more panels on both sides of each direction. In addition, the contained object 200 may not be contained in the above-mentioned spaces S2, S4, S5, and S6, and even in that case, the cushioning function is exhibited. However, from the viewpoint of enhanced protection, it is preferable that an object to be contained is contained in the space. In particular, the instruction manual 240, which is a paper, functions suitably as a cushioning material.

[0074] Furthermore, the outer box part 10 of the package 100 according to the embodiment is configured so that the front wall 3 can be opened and closed. That is, an opening for taking out the contained object 200 (the aspirator 210 in this example) held by the cylindrical part 30 is formed. This makes it easy to take the aspirator 210 in and out of the cylindrical part 30 through the opening end on the front wall 3 side of the cylindrical part 30, improving usability. In addition, since it is sufficient to open the front wall 3 to take out and put in the aspirator 210, there is no need to unfold the package 100. In addition, when the front wall 3 is opened, the inner surface of the front wall 3 that has fallen outward is exposed to the outside of the package 100. Since the inner surface of the front wall 3 is configured by the second surface S20 that is a coating surface, the interior quality of the package 100 can be improved and the appeal area can be expanded. In addition, the inner surface of the front wall 3 may be separately decorated by printing or the like. From the viewpoint of improving usability, it is sufficient that at least one of a pair of side wall parts that are arranged opposite to each other with a gap in the first direction is configured to be openable and closable.

[0075] Furthermore, the outer box part 10 of the package 100 according to the embodiment is configured so that the front wall 2 can be opened and closed. This makes it easy to take in and out other items 200 (power supply device 220, power cord 230, and instruction manual 240) housed in spaces S2, S4, S5, and S6. Also, since the outer box part 10 is configured so that the front wall 2 as well as the front wall 3 can be opened and closed, it becomes easier to take in and out the items 200.

[0076] Moreover, the blank B100 of the package 100 according to the embodiment is formed from paperboard coated on at least one side, and is folded so that the coated surface forms the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 30. By forming the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 30 from a coated surface that is less likely to generate paper powder, it is possible to prevent paper powder from adhering to the contained item 200 held in the cylindrical portion 30.

[0077] Furthermore, the package 100 according to the embodiment has a structure with few adhesive tape joints or adhesive glue joints, making it easy to disassemble and dispose of. For example, the blank B100 can be made of paper and does not contain plastic materials, which makes it easy to separate the blanks when discarded, making it even easier to dispose of.

[0078] <Strength test> In order to confirm the strength of the package according to the embodiment, a drop test was conducted on the packages according to Examples 1 to 3. In Example 1, the package 100 according to the embodiment was used. Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the three-dimensional panel P8 is connected to the upper end of the back panel P7 and that the engagement panel P9 does not have slits P9b, P9c. In Example 2, the engagement panel P9 is disposed on the opposite side to the cylindrical portion 30 of Example 1 (lower than the back panel P7). Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that the engagement panel P9 does not have slits P9b, P9c.

[0079] In the drop test, the presence or absence of deformation of the package when the package was dropped from a height of 1 [m] onto the concrete ground was confirmed. The surfaces that faced vertically downward when the package was dropped (i.e., the surfaces that collided with the ground, hereinafter referred to as the drop surfaces) were the front wall, upper wall, back wall, lower wall, front wall, and rear wall of the package. FIG. 15 is a table showing the results of the drop test. In the table of FIG. 15, the column "drop surface" indicates which of the front wall, upper wall, back wall, lower wall, front wall, and rear wall was the drop surface. In addition, for each of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the case where no damage was observed in the engagement panel P9 in the drop test was marked as "◯", and the case where damage was observed was marked as "△". As shown in FIG. 15, in Examples 2 and 3, when the package was dropped with the upper wall 6 as the drop surface, slight damage was observed in the engagement panel P9. On the other hand, in Example 1, no damage was observed in the engagement panel P9 even when any of the front wall, upper wall, back wall, lower wall, front wall, and rear wall was used as the drop surface.
