Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging box that can be used for display purposes as well as protecting stored products during transportation and storage. [Background technology]

[0002] Many display and packaging boxes that can be opened to use as display boxes are known, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 11-147518 (Patent Document 1). By opening the top panel of these packaging boxes, the back side also becomes a display board that displays the product name, product features, etc., so that the product can be promoted without removing the product from the box or creating and attaching a display board.

[0003] However, simply opening the top panel that covers the box opening may make it difficult to see the entire product stored inside the box body, which has a certain depth, from the outside.In particular, if the display position is high, it becomes even more difficult to see products that are lying down, so the display worker may have to remove the product, lift it diagonally upwards within the box, and then reposition it so that the entire product can be seen more easily.

[0004] In contrast to this, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-232145 (Patent Document 2) and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-120421 (Patent Document 3), display and packaging boxes are also becoming popular, in which the base end of the top panel engages with the rear side of the loading plate on which the product is placed, so that when the top panel is opened, the loading plate moves slightly toward the rear of the storage chamber while the engaged part is lifted, causing the upper side of the product to rise up and be supported diagonally upward.

[0005] In this way, by lifting the upper part of the product stored in the packaging box in conjunction with opening the top panel, the product can be easily seen from the outside even if the display position is high, and a good display state can be ensured without requiring the display worker to do any work. However, even if the upper part of the product is lifted in this way, the bottom side of the product does not lift and remains hidden behind the front panel of the box body, so it must be said that this is not enough to appeal to customers.

[0006] In response to this, Utility Model Registration No. 3084937 (Patent Document 4) proposes a packaging box that can also be used for display, in which two inner boxes are provided, one above the other, inside the main box body; after opening the top panel and removing the upper inner box, the front of the upper inner box is engaged with engagement notches cut into the upper left and right side walls of the lower inner box, and the inner box is supported diagonally upward in a position shifted onto the back surface of the open top panel.

[0007] In this way, by lifting the upper inner box onto the unfolded top panel, the upper side of the product is raised while the lower side of the product is separated from the front panel of the box body, making the entire product easier to see from the outside and providing a good display function, while also allowing the product stored in the lower inner box to be partially displayed. However, this method is limited to packaging boxes with two inner boxes, and has the drawback that it requires the display worker to open the top panel, manually remove the upper inner box, and then place it back in the supporting position. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-147518 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-232145 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 3-120421 [Patent Document 4] Utility Model Registration No. 3084937 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and aims to enable a display / packaging box to exhibit good display functions without requiring the exhibitor to do any effort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that the display / packaging box is made of paper and comprises a box body that forms a storage compartment with a front panel, a left panel, a right panel, and a rear panel that are erected on the outer edge of the bottom panel, a top panel that extends from the rear panel and closes the top opening of the box body in an openable manner, and a loading plate that extends from a predetermined position on the inner base end of the top panel and serves as a part on which products are placed inside the storage compartment, and when the top panel is opened, the loading plate with the products placed on it slides to the back while the base end lifts up to display the products facing diagonally upward, and the tip of the loading plate that fits into the front panel side of the storage compartment has engaging protrusions that protrude on both the left and right sides, and these engaging protrusions engage with slide grooves formed in the depth direction on the lower inner surfaces of the left and right side panels, so that when the loading plate slides, the tip side does not lift up but is guided horizontally.

[0011] In this way, in a display / packaging box in which the loading plate slides toward the back and rises diagonally upwards when the top panel is opened, engaging protrusions that engage with the slide grooves in the left and right side panels are provided on both the left and right sides of the tip of the loading plate, so that the tip of the loading plate can be kept from rising when the loading plate slides as the top panel is opened and closed.This means that the display posture of the product can be ensured in a good state without requiring the display worker to do anything, and the product can be returned to its original storage position simply by closing the top panel.

[0012] Furthermore, in this display and packaging box, the top panel is a bent panel whose base end is bent downward at a width roughly equal to the height of the rear panel, overlapping the outer surface of the rear panel, and whose lower end is connected to the lower part of the rear panel or the bottom panel; when the top panel is opened, the bent panel also rotates so that the upper side moves away from the rear panel, pulling the loading panel toward the back. If this is characterized in that, simply by opening the top panel, the product placed on the loading panel is lifted at the back side, and the bent panel rotates and moves farther away from the front panel toward the back by the amount that it is opened, it is possible to achieve an ideal display state in which the entire product is easily visible without requiring the display worker to do any effort.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned display / packaging box, the box body has a lift surface formed at the rear of the storage chamber, where the bottom surface is higher at a predetermined width or the thickness of the rear panel is increased, making the part higher than the other bottom parts, and the base end of the loading plate, which slides when the top panel is opened, is placed on the lift surface and is in a display state, so that even heavy products can be supported in a stable, diagonally upward display state.

[0014] Furthermore, in this display and packaging box, the top panel is folded inward at the tip of the outer panel that makes up the upper surface of the top panel when closed, so that the inner panel that makes up the inner side of the top panel also serves as a display panel when the top panel is open, and a loading plate is bendably connected to the tip of the inner panel, and the top panel including the outer and inner panels and the loading plate including the engaging protrusions are used as a single unit formed by folding a sheet cut out from a single piece of paper at the fold line positions.This makes it easy to handle the paper and also simplifies the box-making process, making it easy to produce at low cost.

[0015] In this case, if the loading plate is characterized by having a product support member at a predetermined position, which is formed into a wall shape across the width by being folded along multiple parallel widthwise fold lines, the presence of this product support member will stably support the product in all situations, including when the loading plate is slid and moved, making it easier to ensure good and stable storage and display conditions. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] In a packaging box that can also be used for display, in which the loading plate slides toward the back and is lifted diagonally upward when the top panel is opened, according to the present invention, an engaging protrusion is provided at the tip of the loading plate that engages with the slide grooves on the left and right side panels, and good display functionality can be achieved without requiring the display worker to do any work.

[Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a development view showing the display / packaging box of FIG. 1 in a state before assembly. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that in the present invention, the term "merchandise" also includes products such as samples that are not intended for sale.

[0019] Fig. 1 shows a display / packaging box 1 having a storage compartment 2a for storing products, and Fig. 2 shows a state in which the top panel 30, which was about half-open in Fig. 1, is fully opened. In this embodiment, the display / packaging box 1 is a paper box that is suitable for storing and transporting a plurality of tube containers as storage items, and can also be used as is for display (display).

[0020] The display and packaging box 1 of this embodiment comprises a box body 2 having a front panel 21, a rear panel 22 (see FIG. 3), a left side panel 23, and a right side panel 24 erected on the outer edge of a bottom panel 20 (see FIG. 4) that is square in plan view, forming a storage compartment 2a, and a display body 3 comprising a top panel 30 extending from the rear panel 22 side, having an outer panel 31 and an inner panel 32, and closing an opening on the top surface of the box body 2 in an openable and closable manner, and a loading plate 33 extending from the tip of the inner panel 32 and serving as a portion on which products are placed within the storage compartment 2a.

[0021] Such a display / packaging box 1 is a packaging box in which, when the top panel 30 is opened, the loading plate 33 carrying the product slides toward the back of the storage chamber 2a, and the base end (rear side) of the loading plate is raised to a diagonally upward display state, and the tip side of the loading plate 33, which fits near the front panel 21 in the storage chamber 2a, is provided with engaging protrusions 353a, 353b protruding on both the left and right sides (see Figure 4).

[0022] These left and right engaging protrusions 353a, 353b are respectively engaged with slide grooves 201a, 201b formed in the depth direction on the lower inner surfaces of the left panel 23 and the right panel 24, so that when the loading plate 33 slides in conjunction with the opening and closing of the top panel 30, the tip end does not lift up and is stably guided horizontally, which is the greatest feature of the present invention.

[0023] Explaining in detail with reference to the unfolded view of Figure 4, the display body 3, which has a top panel 30 that covers the opening of the box body 2, is made up of a single sheet of paper that is separate from the box body 2 when unfolded, and after assembly, when the top panel 30 is in the closed position, the outer panel 31 that forms the upper surface is folded inward at a position close to the front panel 21 to form the inner panel 32 that forms the inner side of the top panel 30, and this inner panel 32 also serves as a display board with display function when the top panel 30 is open.

[0024] In addition, a mounting plate 33 is bendably connected to the tip end of the inner plate 32, and the top plate 30 including the bending plate 36, outer plate 31 and inner plate 32, and the mounting plate 33 including the engaging plate 353 having engaging protrusions 353a, 353b formed on both the left and right sides, form the display body 3 as a single unit created by folding a sheet cut out from a single piece of paper at the fold line position.

[0025] As shown in Figure 3, the engagement plate 353 provided at the tip side of the loading plate 33 is folded inward, and the engagement protrusions 353a, 353b on both left and right ends thereof are engaged with slide grooves 201a, 201b formed in the depth direction on the lower inner surfaces of the left side panel 23 and the right side panel 24, respectively.When the top panel 30 in Figure 3(A) is fully closed, the loading plate 33 is close to the bottom panel 20 but is parallel to it.

[0026] Fig. 3(B) shows a state in which the top panel 30 is opened about halfway from the state in Fig. 3(A), and the mounting plate 33 does not slide and is in almost the same state as in Fig. 3(A), but by fully opening the top panel 30 as in Fig. 3(C), the mounting plate 33 moves significantly toward the back while its upper side is lifted and facing diagonally upward. At that time, the engaging protrusions 353a and 353b engage with the left and right slide grooves 201a and 201b, guiding the engaging plate 353 to move horizontally.

[0027] In this way, in the display / packaging box 1, which has the function of lifting the loading plate 33 connected to the base end of the inner surface of the top panel 30 diagonally upward while sliding toward the back when the top panel 30 is opened, the engaging protrusions 353a, 353b provided on the tip end of the loading plate 33 on which the product is placed can stably ensure that the tip end does not lift up during the sliding movement of the loading plate 33 accompanying the opening and closing of the top panel 30. Therefore, the posture of the display product can be maintained in a good state without requiring the effort of the person exhibiting the product, and the product can be accurately stored in its original storage position simply by closing the top panel 30.

[0028] 3(A), in this embodiment, a bent plate 36 is provided on the base end side of the top panel 30, bending downward with a width substantially equal to the height of the rear panel 22 and overlapping the outer surface of the rear panel 22, and the lower end side of this bent plate 36 is connected to the lower end of the rear panel 22 and the edge of the bottom panel 20. Specifically, the connection is achieved by inserting locking pieces 361, 361 formed on the lower end of the bent plate 36 into locking holes 221, 221 formed on the lower end of the rear panel 22 (see FIG. 4).

[0029] As a result, as shown in Figures 3(B) and 3(C), when the top panel 30 is opened, the upper side of the bent plate 36 moves away from the rear panel 22, and the loading plate 33 is pulled toward the rear.

[0030] Therefore, as shown in Figure 3(C), by opening the top panel 30 to the fully open position, the rear side of the mounting plate 33 and the products placed on it are lifted, and the upper part of the bent plate 36 rotates and opens from the rear panel 22, moving farther away from the front panel 21 toward the rear, thereby achieving an ideal display state in which the entire product can be easily seen without requiring the display worker's effort.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the box body 2 is provided with a lift plate 26 in a predetermined range at the back of the storage chamber 2a, which is formed by extending the upper end surface of the rear panel 22 forward, thereby forming a lift surface that is higher than the rest of the bottom surface within the storage chamber 2a. As a result, when the top panel 30 opens and slides, the base end of the loading plate 33 is placed on the upper surface of the lift plate 26 and is in a display state, so even when heavy products are stored, they can be supported in a stable, diagonally upward display state.

[0032] 3 and 4, the base and tip ends of the mounting plate 33 are provided with product supports 351, 352, which are formed into widthwise wall shapes by being folded along a plurality of parallel widthwise fold lines. That is, since the display / packaging box 1 of this embodiment is used to store and display a plurality of tube containers, the head sides of the tube containers are inserted into the notches provided in the base-end product support 351 to support them, and the bottom sides of the tube containers are inserted into the notches in the tip-end product support 352 to support them at two points, and the products are stably supported when the mounting plate 33 is slid and moved or when the products are transported, so that a good display state can always be ensured.

[0033] In addition, in the display packaging box 1 of this embodiment, as described above, when the top panel 30 is closed, the inner panel 32, which is formed by folding the tip of the outer panel 31 inward at a position close to the front panel 21, also serves as a product display panel, and since the inner panel 32 remains upright simply by opening the top panel 30, it functions to promote the product as a display panel displaying the product name and product features.

[0034] As described above, the loading plate 33 is bendably connected to the tip end of the inner panel 32, and the display body 3, which comprises the top panel 30 having the bending plate 36, outer panel 31, and inner panel 32, and the loading plate 33 having the product supports 351, 352, and the engaging plate 353 with engaging protrusions 353a, 353b, is used for making boxes as a single piece made by folding a sheet cut out from a single piece of paper at the fold line positions, as shown in the developed view of Figure 4.

[0035] Furthermore, the insole plate 4, which is cut out as a separate sheet from the exhibit 3 and placed on the bottom plate 20 in the storage room 2a, and the box body 2 can be cut out from a single sheet of paper and arranged as shown in the developed view of Figure 4, minimizing waste, which makes it easy to obtain paper and simplifies box-making, making it easy to create packaging boxes at low cost.

[0036] The insole plate 4 prevents the inner surface of the box body 2 from being exposed when the engagement plate 353 slides, and stabilizes the sliding movement of the engagement plate 353.

[0037] When cutting out the box body 2, exhibit 3, and insole board 4 from a single sheet of paper, it is desirable to use a punching process using a cutting die, and paper with thickness and strength such as corrugated cardboard or cardboard is suitable. Also, the box body 2, exhibit 3, and insole board 4 may be placed adjacent to each other when cutting out, which reduces the width required when cutting out.

[0038] As described above, the present invention allows the display / packaging box to exhibit excellent display functions without requiring the display worker to do much work. [Explanation of symbols]
