FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In principle, the same elements are given the same reference numerals in all drawings. Also, explanations of parts having the same functions will be omitted. Note that the configurations described below are merely examples, and it is not intended that the embodiments of the present invention be limited to the specific embodiments described below. In the following explanation, a case where the present invention is applied to a refrigerator will be shown as an example. When refrigerator 1 is viewed from the front, the side that can be seen on the right side will be the right side, and the side that can be seen on the left side will be the left side.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a front view of a refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, a heat-insulating box 10 of the refrigerator 1 has storage compartments, which are a refrigerator compartment 2, an ice-making compartment 3 provided on both the left and right sides, an upper freezer compartment 4, a lower freezer compartment 5, and a vegetable compartment 6, in that order from above.

[0012] Refrigerator 1 is equipped with doors that open and close the openings of each storage compartment. These doors are refrigerator compartment door 2a (first door) and refrigerator compartment door 2b (second door) that are divided into left and right and rotate to open and close the opening of refrigerator compartment 2, and ice making compartment door 3a, upper freezer compartment door 4a, lower freezer compartment door 5a, and vegetable compartment door 6a that open and close the openings of ice making compartment 3, upper freezer compartment 4, lower freezer compartment 5, and vegetable compartment 6, respectively. The interior material of these multiple doors is mainly made of urethane foam. In addition, each door is equipped with a sealing member (not shown) on the inner peripheral part.

[0013] The refrigerator compartment 2 is separated from the ice-making compartment 3 and the upper freezer compartment 4 by a heat-insulating partition wall 11, and the lower freezer compartment 5 is separated from the vegetable compartment 6 by a heat-insulating partition wall 12. In addition, at the front edge between the ice-making compartment 3 and the upper freezer compartment 4, a partition 13 is provided at a position that abuts against the seal member on the inner right end of the ice-making compartment door 3a and the seal member on the inner left end of the upper freezer compartment door 4a when the ice-making compartment door 3a and the upper freezer compartment door 4a are closed.

[0014] At the front edge between the ice-making compartment 3 and the upper freezer compartment 4 and the lower freezer compartment 5, a partition 14 is provided at a position which abuts the sealing members on the inner surfaces of the lower ends of the ice-making compartment door 3a and the upper freezer compartment door 4a and the sealing member on the inner surface of the upper end of the lower freezer compartment door 5a when the ice-making compartment door 3a, the upper freezer compartment door 4a and the lower freezer compartment door 5a are closed.

[0015] Door hinges (not shown) for fixing the insulated box body 10 of the refrigerator 1 to the refrigerator compartment doors 2a and 2b are provided at the front of the outer top compartment of the insulated box body 10 and at the front edge of the insulated partition wall 11. The refrigerator compartment doors 2a and 2b are supported by the insulated box body 10 of the refrigerator 1 by the door hinges so as to be openable and closable.

[0016] The ice-making compartment 3, upper freezer compartment 4, and lower freezer compartment 5 are basically storage compartments whose interior temperature is kept at a freezing temperature (below 0°C), for example, at an average of about -18°C, while the refrigerator compartment 2 is a storage compartment whose interior temperature is kept at a refrigeration temperature (above 0°C), for example, at an average of about 4°C, and the vegetable compartment 6 is a storage compartment whose interior temperature is kept at a refrigeration temperature (above 0°C), for example, at an average of about 7°C.

[0017] Hereinafter, in this specification, the ice-making compartment 3, the upper freezer compartment 4, and the lower freezer compartment 5, which are storage compartments at freezing temperatures, may be collectively referred to as freezer compartment 60.

[0018] 2 is a rear view of refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The rear side of refrigerator 1 is covered by rear cover 21. A machine room in which a compressor and the like are housed is disposed below refrigerator 1, and the rear side of the machine room is covered by machine room cover 22. Handles 23 are provided on the upper left and right sides of the rear of refrigerator 1 for a person to hold when transporting refrigerator 1. Handles 23 protrude rearward from the rear of refrigerator 1. Handles 23 are formed in a U-shape when refrigerator 1 is viewed from above, so that a person transporting the refrigerator can hold them with their hands.

[0019] Next, a method for packaging the refrigerator 1 will be described. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship between the refrigerator 1 and packaging materials according to the embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 3, a cylindrical packaging member 32 is shown in a see-through state.

[0020] Refrigerator 1 as the device to be packed is placed on bottom packing member 31, and its bottom is protected. The front, back and both sides of refrigerator 1 are covered with tubular packing member 32 formed into a cylindrical shape. Cylindrical packing member 32 is open in the top and bottom directions, and is placed over refrigerator 1 in a cylindrical shape. In other words, refrigerator 1 is inserted into tubular packing member 32. Next, with the bottom, front, back and both sides of refrigerator 1 covered by bottom packing member 31 and tubular packing member 32, cushioning material 33 is placed on the left and right corners of the top of refrigerator 1. In this embodiment, cushioning material 33 is made of polystyrene foam.

[0021] Next, the top packing member 34 is placed on the top of the refrigerator 1. Then, with the refrigerator 1 covered with these packing members 30 (bottom packing member 31, cylindrical packing member 32, top packing member 34), cable ties are placed along the top, bottom, front, back, top, bottom, left and right to secure the packing members 30. In this embodiment, the packing members 30 are made of cardboard.

[0022] Refrigerator 1 is transported in a protected state, covered entirely with packaging material 30. When installing refrigerator 1 at a customer's premises, generally all packaging materials 30 are removed in front of the customer's entrance, and refrigerator 1 is transported to the installation location by multiple transporters and installed. Since refrigerator 1 is transported to the installation location without any protective materials around it, there is a risk that the surface of refrigerator 1 may be scratched by contact with walls, furniture, etc. during transportation. Means for solving this problem are described below.

[0023] Fig. 4 is a rear perspective view of refrigerator 1 covered with tubular packing member 32, as viewed from the right rear. Fig. 5 is a rear perspective view showing a state in which a part (upper part) of tubular packing member 32 has been removed from the state in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a rear perspective view showing a state in which tubular packing member 32 has been moved upward from the state in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is an enlarged rear view showing a state in which tubular packing member 32 has been moved upward from the state in Fig. 5.

[0024] The refrigerator 1 is carried to the front door of the customer's house, the cable ties securing the packaging material 30 are removed, and then the top packaging material 34 and the cushioning material 33 are removed. The refrigerator 1 is now covered with the bottom packaging material 31 and the cylindrical packaging material 32 (FIG. 4).

[0025] Next, a part (upper part) of the tubular packing member 32 is cut along the dotted line DL. Folded pieces 320, which will be described later, are formed on the left and right sides of the back surface of the tubular packing member 32. The configuration of the tubular packing member 32 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a development view of the tubular packing member 32. Fig. 8 shows the tubular packing member 32 as viewed from the back surface side (inside).

[0026] An upper cutout portion 327a and a lower cutout portion 327b are formed on the back surface of the cylindrical packing member 32 made of cardboard or thick paper. Similarly, an upper cutout portion 328a and a lower cutout portion 328b are formed on the front surface of the cylindrical packing member 32. Cutout guide portions for cutting the cylindrical packing member 32 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper cutout portions 327a and 328a. In this embodiment, the cutout guide portions are described as cut tape CT, but they do not have to be cut tape CT as long as the worker can easily cut it. For example, a cut line (perforation) or the like can be considered as an alternative to the cut tape CT. The cut tape CT arranged on the left and right sides of the upper cutout portions 327a and 328a extends in the left-right direction and is provided above the portion that becomes the folded piece 320. The cylindrical packing member 32 is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that can be partially cut while suppressing damage to the packaged object due to contact with the wall surface or the like.

[0027] Similarly, cutting tapes CT for cutting the tubular packing member 32 are attached to the left and right of the lower cutouts 327b, 328b. The cutting tapes CT are made of polypropylene or the like having excellent tensile strength, and are attached to the back side (inner side) of the tubular packing member 32. When the cutting tapes CT are pulled in the left-right direction from the upper cutouts 327a, 328a and the lower cutouts 327b, 328b, the cutting tapes CT cut the tubular packing member 32. The cutting tapes CT provided on the left and right of the upper cutouts 327a, 328a are provided above the portions that will become the folded pieces 320.

[0028] In FIG. 4, when the cutting tape CT is pulled in the left-right direction from the upper cutouts 327a, 328a to cut and remove the upper part of the tubular packing member 32, the upper part of the refrigerator 1 is exposed as shown in FIG. 5. The cutting tape CT extends in the circumferential direction of the tubular packing member 32, and extends over multiple faces, preferably over the entire circumference. At this time, the lower part of the tubular packing member 32 is not cut. As a result, when the tubular packing member 32 is moved upward by a method described later, the tubular packing member 32 above the upper part of the refrigerator 1 can be minimized, and the ease of transportation is improved. On the other hand, if the cutting tape or the like is not provided on the tubular packing member 32, the ease of transportation is reduced, but the cost of the packing material can be reduced.

[0029] Next, tubular packing member 32 is moved upward, and a part of the back surface of tubular packing member 32 is folded inward (toward refrigerator 1) to form folded piece 320. The configuration of folded piece 320 will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 10. Fig. 9 is an enlarged rear perspective view of a part seen from the upper left rear in a state where tubular packing member 32 has been moved upward. Fig. 10 is a top view of refrigerator 1 seen from above in a state where tubular packing member 32 has been moved upward and a part of the back surface of tubular packing member 32 has been folded inward to form folded piece 320.

[0030] The back surface of the cylindrical packing member 32 is formed with a first cutout 321a cut out in the vertical direction at the left and right outer (outer periphery) positions, a second cutout 321b cut out in the vertical direction at the center side of the first cutout 321a, and a third cutout 321c cut out in the horizontal direction so as to connect the lower end of the first cutout 321a and the lower end of the second cutout 321b. The second cutout 321b is formed longer than the first cutout 321a. The first cutout 321a, the second cutout 321b, and the third cutout 321c (hereinafter collectively referred to as "cutouts 321") may each be cut out in advance. In this case, the folded piece 320 can be formed by folding a part of the back surface of the cylindrical packing member 32 inward along the folded piece creation guide 322. Also, the cut portion 321 may be perforated or the like to allow the carrier to easily make a cut. In this case, the carrier can press the cut portion 321 to break it, thereby forming the folded piece 320.

[0031] At the position connecting the upper end of first cut portion 321a and the upper end of second cut portion 321b, there is formed a folding piece preparation guide portion 322 which serves as an axis for folding the portion that will become folding piece 320 inward (toward refrigerator 1). Folding piece preparation guide portion 322 is formed sloping downward from the center side toward the outer periphery side (from second cut portion 321b to first cut portion 321a). Folding piece preparation guide portion 322 does not necessarily need to be specially processed.

[0032] A part of the back surface (folded piece 320) of tubular packing member 32 folded inward (toward refrigerator 1) along folding piece preparation guide 322 protrudes into the interior of tubular packing member 32. When tubular packing member 32 is moved downward with folded piece 320 formed, a part of folded piece 320 comes into contact with top surface 1a of refrigerator 1, restricting downward movement of tubular packing member 32 due to its own weight. Top surface 1a of refrigerator 1 serves as a support for tubular packing member 32. Instead of top surface 1a, it may come into contact with top surface 23b of handle 23 or the top surfaces of other protrusions of refrigerator 1.

[0033] When the part that will become the folded piece 320 is folded inward (toward the refrigerator 1), a hole 323 penetrating the cylindrical packing member 32 is formed in the cylindrical packing member 32. When a part of the folded piece 320 is in contact with the upper surface 1a of the refrigerator 1, the hole 323 is positioned so as to overlap with the handle 23 in a rear view. That is, the handle 23 is exposed through the hole 323. The hole 323 preferably exposes the lower surface 23a of the handle 23 that is supported by the carrier's fingers, and exposes the entire handle 23. The hole 323 is preferably formed larger than the hand of the carrier that holds the handle 23, and the lengths of the first cut portion 321a, the second cut portion 321b, and the third cut portion 321c are preferably set in consideration of the size of the carrier's hand. However, the length of the second cut portion 321b is set shorter than the length of the first cut portion 321a. For example, the length of first cut portion 321a is set to 11 cm or more, the length of second cut portion 321b is set to 6 cm or more, and the length of third cut portion 321c is set to 11 cm or more.

[0034] If the length of first cut portion 321a and the length of second cut portion 321b are the same and folding piece preparation guide portion 322 is formed parallel to top surface 1a (support portion) of refrigerator 1, when folding piece 320 comes into contact with top surface 1a of refrigerator 1, folding piece 320 is bent by the weight of tubular packing member 32 so that the inner surface of folding piece 320 and the inner surface of tubular packing member 32 are separated. As a result, tubular packing member 32 moved upward is likely to fall to the position of bottom packing member 31 without stopping midway.

[0035] Therefore, in this embodiment, the folding piece preparation guide portion 322 is formed to be inclined downward from the center side toward the outer periphery side (from the second cut portion 321b to the first cut portion 321a).

[0036] The folded piece 320 folded along the inclined folded piece preparation guide 322 has an outer lower end 320a in contact with the inner surface of the tubular packing member 32, and the amount of folding (position) around the folded piece preparation guide 322 is regulated. This regulation is preferably carried out by folding the outer lower end 320a in contact with the inner surface of the tubular packing member 32 so as to come into surface contact with the inner surface of the tubular packing member 32. The dimensions of the cutout 321 are set so that the outer lower end 320a comes into contact or comes into surface contact with the inner surface of the tubular packing member 32. The outer lower end 320a of the folded piece 320 has a function of regulating the amount of folding (position) of the folded piece 320. When the folded piece 320, the amount (position) of folding of which is regulated, comes into contact with the top surface 1a of the refrigerator 1, the tubular packing member 32 is supported by the top surface 1a of the refrigerator 1 via the folded piece 320, and the handle 23 is exposed from the hole 323. The top surface 1a of the refrigerator 1 in this embodiment can support the folded piece 320 folded toward the refrigerator 1 using the folded piece preparation guide 322, and is disposed at a position different from the handle 23, in particular, at a position different from the gripping portion 23a of the handle 23. In this embodiment, the gripping portion 23a is located below the handle 23. As a result, the handle 23 can be directly gripped while most of the refrigerator 1, except for a part of the lower part, is covered with the tubular packing member 32, as shown in FIG. 6.

[0037] When installing the refrigerator 1 at the customer's site, the refrigerator 1 is transported by multiple people, for example, two people, in the state shown in Fig. 6. The bottom packaging member 31 is removed.

[0038] When transporting refrigerator 1, first refrigerator 1 is tilted backward. One of the transporters supports the top of refrigerator 1 tilted backward, and inserts his hand through hole 323 to grasp handle 23. The other transporter grasps another handle (not shown) provided on the front lower part of refrigerator 1 (for example, the front side of the underside). Handle 23 and another handle are provided on one side and the other side of refrigerator 1 in the longitudinal direction (up-down direction in this embodiment). The multiple transporters grasp the handle on the front lower part and handle 23 on the rear upper part, respectively, and transport refrigerator 1 to the vicinity of the installation location. The longitudinal direction of refrigerator 1 is, for example, 1 m or more, and preferably 1.5 m or more.

[0039] After temporarily placing the refrigerator 1 near the installation location, the carrier removes the tubular packing member 32. When removing the tubular packing member 32 from the refrigerator 1, the tubular packing member 32 is moved upward to be removed, but since the tubular packing member 32 is long in the vertical direction, there is a possibility that the tubular packing member 32 may come into contact with the ceiling. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cutting tape CT is pulled in the left-right direction from the lower cutout portions 327b, 328b, and the lower portion of the tubular packing member 32 is cut by the cutting tape CT. The tubular packing member 32, whose lower portion has been cut and divided, is pulled upward in order from the tubular packing member 32 located at the top. In this embodiment, the tubular packing member 32 can be easily cut by the cutting tape CT, so that the vertical length of the tubular packing member 32 can be shortened, and it is possible to avoid the tubular packing member 32 coming into contact with the ceiling when it is moved upward. In this embodiment, the cutting tape CT is provided at two positions, one above the other, but the cutting tape CT may be provided at three or more positions to further shorten the vertical length of the tubular packing member 32.

[0040] Note that it is not necessarily necessary to provide first cut portion 321a, second cut portion 321b, and third cut portion 321c as long as the portion that will become folded piece 320 is folded and brought into contact with upper surface 1a or the like of refrigerator 1 to form a support portion, and preferably further brought into contact or surface contact with the inner surface of tubular packing member 32 to prevent tubular packing member 32 from falling off. Folded piece 320 may be formed by a transporter cutting out the regions corresponding to first cut portion 321a, second cut portion 321b, and third cut portion 321c with a utility knife or the like and folding them inward.

[0041] As described above, according to this embodiment, the outer periphery of refrigerator 1 is covered with tubular packing material 32, and the handle can be exposed from tubular packing material 32 while covered, thereby preventing damage to refrigerator 1 during transportation and improving the ease of transportation of refrigerator 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the refrigerator 1 is the target of the transported equipment, but the equipment may be, for example, a washing machine, etc., which is assumed to be transported into a house by multiple transporters.

[0043] Information about the device to be packed may be printed on the packing material 30, particularly on the cylindrical packing material 32. For example, the product name, model name, illustration, or photograph of the device may be displayed. [Explanation of symbols]
