[Figure 8] 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a packaging body according to a first modified example taken along line 5-5 in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. <<Embodiment>> <Packaging> First, an example of a packaging body 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 1, the packaging body 10 according to the present embodiment is a packaging device or member that packages an object 20 to be packaged.

[0021] (Items to be packaged) The packaged object 20 in this embodiment is, for example, an image forming device, but may be changed as desired in the present disclosure. In the packaged object 20, among the members located on the outer surface of the image forming device when packaged, the strength of the part where a space is formed inside, the strength of the part where there is little support from other members, the strength of the part where the wall thickness is relatively thin, or the strength of the part where a combination of these is configured is relatively low. Therefore, it is easily broken by impact. As a result, the cushioning material 14 is arranged in contact with the packaged object 20 so that the contact area of ​​the cushioning material 14 with the easily breakable part of the packaged object 20 is large.

[0022] (Packaging) As shown in Fig. 1, the packaging body 10 includes an exterior member 12, a cushioning material 14, and a rotating part 19 (see Fig. 5). Fig. 1 also illustrates a pallet 22 on which the packaging body 10 is placed. In this specification, the "packaging body" does not include the packaged item 20 itself.

[0023] (Exterior materials) As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior member 12 has a plate-shaped exterior bottom 12A and a plate-shaped exterior side wall 12B rising from an edge of the exterior bottom 12A. The exterior member 12 of this embodiment can be made of, for example, cardboard, which is a paper material, but this disclosure is not limited to this. In this disclosure, the paper-material exterior member may be made of a paper material other than cardboard, such as, for example, a single sheet of paper or multiple stacked sheets of paper. In addition, any material other than a paper material, such as a resin material, can be used as the material of the exterior member of the present disclosure.

[0024] (buffer material) As shown in FIG. 2, the cushioning material 14 has a plate-shaped cushioning bottom 14A that is placed on the exterior bottom 12A and supports the underside 20A of the packaged item 20, and a plate-shaped cushioning side wall 14B that rises from the edge of the cushioning bottom 14A and supports the side surface 20B of the packaged item 20.

[0025] The cushioning material 14 of the present embodiment can be made of, for example, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) material, but is not limited to this in the present disclosure. The material of the cushioning material of the present disclosure can be selected arbitrarily, for example, rubber.

[0026] In this specification, the buffer bottom corresponds to the portion on which the packaged items are loaded, and the buffer side wall corresponds to the portion located outside the buffer bottom. In other words, the outer surface of the buffer side wall corresponds to the entire outer surface of the buffer material.

[0027] (Rotating part) The rotating part 19 has a joint 16 (see FIG. 5) that is joined to the cushioning material 14. The rotating part 19 is capable of rotating at one end relative to the exterior bottom part 12A by a rotation fulcrum FR provided at the other end. In other words, the rotation fulcrum FR is a hinge part.

[0028] 3, the rotating part 19 in this embodiment is a partial area of ​​the exterior bottom part 12A. Note that in the present disclosure, the rotating part 19 is not limited to a partial area of ​​the exterior bottom part 12A, and may be, for example, a member separate from the exterior bottom part 12A, such as a flap, rotatably disposed on the exterior bottom part 12A.

[0029] The outer edge of the rotating part 19 has a notched part 19A that separates the rotating part 19 from the surrounding area of ​​the exterior bottom part 12A, and a non-notched part 19B that serves as a rotation fulcrum FR that is continuous with the surrounding area of ​​the exterior bottom part 12A. As shown in Fig. 3, the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A in this embodiment is larger than the upper surface of the rotating part 19. In addition, in a plan view, the entire upper surface of the rotating part 19 is covered by the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A.

[0030] In the case of the rotating part 19 illustrated in Fig. 3, the rotation fulcrum FR corresponds to the left side of the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A, and is formed in a region including a dashed line portion extending linearly in the vertical direction and a non-cut part 19B located to the right of the dashed line portion. That is, in the present disclosure, the shape of the rotation fulcrum in a plan view may be linear or planar. Note that the dashed line portion corresponding to the left side of the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A in Fig. 3, i.e., the outer edge part of the rotation fulcrum FR closest to the buffer side wall 14B, may be located at the boundary position between the buffer bottom part 14A and the buffer side wall 14B.

[0031] In addition, in the present disclosure, the number of rotating parts is not limited and may be any number equal to or greater than one, and the rotating parts may be provided at one or more of the four corners of the exterior bottom part 12A, which is rectangular in plan view. In addition, in FIG. 3, the linear non-cut part 19B extending in the vertical direction is illustrated as being parallel to the left side of the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A, but in the present disclosure, the linear non-cut part 19B may intersect with the left side of the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 4, in the present disclosure, the size of the lower surface of the buffer bottom portion 14A may be equal to or smaller than the upper surface of the rotating portion 19. That is, in plan view, the entire upper surface of the rotating portion 19 does not have to be covered by the lower surface of the buffer bottom portion 14A. However, as shown in Fig. 3, when the entire upper surface of the rotating portion 19 is covered by the lower surface of the buffer bottom portion 14A, this is advantageous in that it can cover the unevenness on the surface formed at the position of the notch portion 19A.

[0033] For example, when cut portion 19A is provided by cutting a part of a paper material such as cardboard, unevenness is likely to occur on the surface at the boundary between adjacent regions separated by cut portion 19A. This is because once a paper material such as cardboard is cut, the cut end surface is likely to turn up. Therefore, even if the surfaces of adjacent regions straddling cut portion 19A are flat before cutting, when the cut end surfaces are brought into contact with each other again after cutting, one or more unevenness, i.e., steps, are likely to occur at the boundary between the adjacent regions.

[0034] (joint part) The joint 16 in this embodiment has an exterior side fitting portion provided in the exterior member 12 and a buffer side fitting portion provided in the buffer material so as to correspond to the exterior side fitting portion. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 5, in this embodiment, the exterior side fitting portion is a hole portion 16A formed in the exterior bottom portion 12A, and the buffer side fitting portion is a protrusion portion 16B formed in the buffer bottom portion 14A so as to correspond to the hole portion 16A.

[0035] In the present disclosure, the joint 16 is not limited to a fitting structure, and may be realized by other joining structures such as, for example, an adhesive. Also, the fitting may be configured to be detachable, or the fitted state may be fixed by, for example, an adhesive.

[0036] 3, the shape of the protrusion 16B is a quadrangular prism in this embodiment, but is not limited to this in this disclosure, and may be any geometric shape, such as a cylindrical shape, a triangular prism shape, or a pyramidal truncated shape. In addition, the shape of the hole 16A is a through hole in this embodiment, but is not limited to this in this disclosure, and may be other shapes, such as a notch. Note that the larger the area of ​​the fitting portion between the protrusion and the hole, i.e., the area of ​​the contact portion of the protrusion on the inner surface of the hole, the more difficult it is for the protrusion to come out of the hole, which is preferable.

[0037] <How to pack items> Next, a method for packaging an object using the packaging body according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 5, first, a packer rotates the rotating part 19 to place the cushioning material 14 in a first position P1.

[0038] In the first position P1, a part of the inner surface of the buffer bottom 14A is disposed inside a preset arrangement area for the packaged object 20, and the inner surface of the upper end of the buffer side wall 14B is disposed outside the arrangement area. The arrangement area is a three-dimensional space occupied by the packaged object 20 when it is disposed inside the packaging body 10. In this embodiment, the vertical height of the arrangement area, in other words, the height of the packaged object 20, is equal to or greater than the height of the buffer material 14. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, in the drawings attached to this specification, the horizontal range AR of the arrangement area is illustrated by an arrow extending in the left-right direction.

[0039] Next, the packer places the packaged object 20 in the placement area, so that the bottom surface of the packaged object 20 comes into contact with a part of the inner surface of the buffer bottom portion 14A and the packaged object 20 is loaded onto the buffer material 14. The contact with the packaged object 20 during loading causes the rotating portion 19 to rotate.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the rotating part 19 rotates between a first position P1 and a second position P2. In other words, the rotating part 19 switches between the first position P1 and the second position P2 by rotating. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6, in the first position P1, a part of the inner surface of the buffer bottom 14A is included inside the arrangement area. In other words, in the first position P1 before the packaged object 20 is arranged on the inner surface 14A1 of the buffer bottom 14A inside the packaging body 10, another part of the inner surface of the buffer bottom 14A is located outside the arrangement area. In the first position P1, the inner surface 14B1 of the upper end of the buffer side wall 14B is located outside the arrangement area.

[0041] 6, by rotating the rotating part 19, the packer places the cushioning material 14 in the second position P2 after both the inner surface 14A1 of the buffer bottom 14A and the inner surface of the upper end of the buffer side wall 14B are placed inside the placement area. In other words, in the second position P2 in which the packaged item 20 is placed on the inner surface 14A1 of the buffer bottom 14A inside the packaging body 10, the entire inner surface 14B1 of the buffer side wall 14B is included inside the placement area. In this specification, "the inner surface of the cushioning material is included inside the placement area" includes the inner surface of the cushioning material being located on the boundary between the cushioning material and the placement area.

[0042] The above series of processes constitute the method for packaging an object according to the present embodiment. Here, the inner surface 14B1 of the buffer side wall 14B of the buffer material 14 comes into contact with the object 20. The larger the contact area with the object 20, the more likely the buffer material 14 is to separate due to contact with the object 20 during packaging, i.e., the more likely the buffer material 14 is to be damaged.

[0043] In addition, the thinner the buffer side wall 14B, the more easily the buffer material 14 is damaged. In addition, the higher the height of the buffer side wall 14B, the more easily the buffer material 14 is damaged. For example, when the thickness and height of the buffer side wall 14B are approximately the same, the larger the contact area of ​​the inner surface 14B1 that comes into contact with the packaged item 20, the more easily the buffer material 14 is damaged.

[0044] (Comparative Example) On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 7, in the case of a packaging body 10Z according to a comparative example that does not have a rotating part 19, when the packaged object 20 is loaded, the packaged object 20 comes into contact with the buffer side wall 14B, and the buffer side wall 14B is likely to be subjected to a force toward the outside (the left side in Fig. 7). This makes the buffer material 14 more likely to be damaged.

[0045] (Action of this embodiment) In the packaging body according to this embodiment, the rotation of the rotating part 19 can separate the upper end of the buffer side wall 14B from the arrangement area of ​​the packaged object 20, so that contact between the packaged object 20 and the buffer side wall 14B can be suppressed when the packaged object 20 is loaded. Therefore, when the packaged object 20 is loaded, damage to the buffer material 14 caused by contact with the packaged object 20 can be suppressed compared to when the posture of the buffer material 14 is the same before and after packaging.

[0046] In addition, in this embodiment, the rotating portion 19 can prevent an increase in the thickness of the cushioning material 14 intended to prevent breakage, making it easier to reduce the thickness of the cushioning material 14 and the amount of material used.

[0047] In addition, in this embodiment, a partial area of ​​the exterior bottom portion 12A constitutes the rotating portion 19, so that the package is easier to handle than when the rotating portion 19 is constituted by a separate member.

[0048] In this embodiment, the exterior bottom portion 12A is made of a paper material. Therefore, after the other end of the rotating portion 19 is restored from a first position P1, in which the other end is located above the exterior bottom portion 12A, to a second position P2 at a height where the exterior bottom portion 12A is present, it is difficult for the end of the rotating portion 19 and the end of the surrounding area of ​​the exterior bottom portion 12A to be flush with each other at the position of the cutout portion 19A, which is the boundary between the rotating portion 19 and the surrounding area of ​​the exterior bottom portion 12A.

[0049] In other words, the surface height of the rotating part 19 is easily changed at the position of the notch 19A, and the surface height of the surrounding exterior bottom part 12A is easily changed. As a result, unevenness is formed at the position of the notch 19A, and there is a concern that foreign matter may enter the inside of the package from the outside through the notch 19A where the unevenness is formed. Since the lower surface of the buffer bottom part 14A covers the entire upper surface of the rotating part 19, when the buffer material is in the second position P2, the unevenness formed at the position of the notch 19A can be covered.

[0050] Furthermore, for example, when the joint is formed by adhesive, a process of applying the adhesive and a process of drying the adhesive are required. When the exterior member 12 and the cushioning material 14 are integrated by tape, a process of attaching the tape during packaging and a process of peeling the tape during unpacking are required. In this regard, in this embodiment, the joint 16 is formed by a fitting structure between the exterior side fitting portion and the cushioning side fitting portion. Therefore, the joint 16 can be formed more simply than when the joint 16 is formed by adhesive or when the exterior member 12 and the cushioning material 14 are integrated by tape.

[0051] Furthermore, in the packaging method for the packaged items 20 according to this embodiment, when the packaged items 20 are loaded, damage to the cushioning material caused by contact with the packaged items 20 can be reduced compared to when the posture of the cushioning material remains the same before and after packaging.

[0052] First Modified Example Next, the configuration of the packaging body 10A according to the first modified example will be described with reference to Fig. 8. In the present embodiment, the joint portion 16 joins the exterior bottom portion 12A and the buffer bottom portion 14A, but the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0053] As shown in Fig. 8, the packaging body 10A according to the first modification is different from the packaging body 10 according to the present embodiment in that the joint 16 joins the exterior side wall 12B and the buffer side wall 14B. Other configurations in the first modification are the same as those in the present embodiment, so duplicated explanations will be omitted. Also, parts in the first modification that are configured the same as those in the present embodiment will be given the same reference numerals, and explanations may be omitted.

[0054] 8, the hole 16A is formed in the exterior side wall 12B, and the protrusion 16B is formed in the buffer side wall 14B. Even when the joint 16 joins the exterior side wall 12B and the buffer side wall 14B as in the first modified example, the rotating part 19 rotates between the first position P1 and the second position P2.

[0055] (Function of the First Modified Example) As in the present embodiment, when loading the packaged object 20, the first modified example also makes it possible to suppress damage to the cushioning material 14 caused by contact with the packaged object 20, compared to a case in which the posture of the cushioning material is the same before and after packaging. Also, in the first modified example, since the joint 16 joins the exterior side wall 12B and the buffer side wall 14B, the buffer side wall 14B is less likely to crack, compared to a case in which the exterior bottom 12A and the buffer bottom 14A are joined.

[0056] In addition, when the material of the exterior member 12 is cardboard and the exterior side wall 12B is provided on the exterior member 12, the fold can be formed by folding the exterior side wall 12B back onto the exterior bottom 12A. Once the fold is formed, even if the exterior bottom 12A is placed on the floor, for example, the end of the exterior side wall 12B opposite the exterior bottom 12A is located inward away from the floor.

[0057] That is, in a state where exterior side wall 12B is inclined so that the surface of exterior side wall 12B intersects with the surface of exterior bottom portion 12A, the end side of exterior side wall 12B opposite exterior bottom portion 12A rises up from the floor surface. Therefore, in the case of the first modified example in which joint portion 16 is provided on exterior side wall 12B, first position P1 can be easily formed by attaching cushioning material 14 to inclined exterior side wall 12B in advance before loading article 20 to be packed.

[0058] Second Modified Example In the present disclosure, it is not essential that the exterior member 12 has a rotatable exterior bottom portion 12A, i.e., that the rotating portion 19 is formed in the area of ​​the exterior bottom portion 12A. In the present disclosure, the exterior member 12 may have a rotatable exterior side wall 12B. In other words, the rotating portion 19 may be at least a partial area of ​​the exterior side wall 12B.

[0059] (Function of the second modified example) In the second variant as in the present embodiment, when loading the packaged items 20, damage to the cushioning material caused by contact with the packaged items 20 can be reduced compared to when the posture of the cushioning material is the same before and after packaging.

[0060] Furthermore, when configuring the rotating part 19 at the position of the exterior bottom 12A, a larger cut is required than the joint 16, and therefore it is desirable that the bottom size of the cushioning material is also larger than the joint 16. For this reason, there is a concern that the effect may not be achieved if the rotating part 19 of the exterior bottom 12A is too small, such as when the size of the bottom of the cushioning material is smaller than the joint 16. In this regard, in the second modified example, the rotating part 19 can be configured at a position other than the exterior bottom 12A of the exterior member 12. For this reason, the effect can be achieved without being limited by the bottom size of the cushioning material.
