[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-26280 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Generally, devices such as television receivers are completed by removing multiple components, such as a stand base, a stand connector, and a display panel, from a packaging box and assembling them together. According to the technology disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, for this assembly process, a dedicated cushioning material for the jig must be placed in the packaging box, separate from the multiple cushioning materials that house the multiple components. In this case, the cushioning material must be formed with a shape dedicated to the jig, separate from the housing portion. This results in a large cushioning material. Therefore, the packaging box cannot be made smaller.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide an equipment packaging set that enables a packaging box to be made smaller, and a cushioning material used therein. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] An equipment packaging set according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a packaging box containing an equipment in a disassembled state in which a stand base that can be placed on an installation surface and a stand connection component that can be attached to the stand base are disposed, and one or more cushioning materials disposed within the packaging box, wherein the one or more cushioning materials have the function of storing at least one of the multiple components that make up the equipment, including the stand base and the stand connection component, when the equipment is packed in the packaging box, and also includes a multi-functional cushioning material shaped to function as a jig in the assembly process of the stand base and the stand connection component.

[0007] A cushioning material according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to be placed in a packaging box containing a disassembled device, including a stand base and a stand connection component that can be attached to the stand base. When the device is packed in the packaging box, the cushioning material has the function of storing at least one of the multiple components that make up the device, including the stand base and the stand connection component, while also having a shape that functions as a jig in the assembly process of the stand base and the stand connection component.

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an equipment packaging set and a cushioning material used therein according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will not be repeated.

[0010] (Embodiment 1) The equipment packaging set 100 according to the first embodiment and the cushioning material used therein will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 17. FIG.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a packaging box 10 containing a device according to the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the packaging box 10 containing the device according to the present embodiment 1, and is a perspective view of the packaging box 10 in Fig. 1 with the top, front, and right side surfaces transparent.

[0012] As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the device is disassembled into its individual components and contained within a rectangular parallelepiped packaging box 10. In this embodiment, the packaging box 10 is made of cardboard, but is not limited to cardboard. The packaging box 10 may be made of any material, such as paper or plastic.

[0013] In this embodiment, the equipment packaging set is made up of one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, 3 and a packaging box 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the equipment packaging sets will be referred to as equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, 10 hereinafter.

[0014] In this embodiment, the device is composed of four components: a stand base SB, a stand connecting part SN, a stand cover SC, and a display panel DS. Specifically, the device in this embodiment is a television receiver. However, the device may include other components instead of the display panel DS. In other words, the device is not limited to a television receiver and may be any device that includes a stand. Note that the devices in this embodiment are hereinafter referred to as devices SB, SN, SC, and DS (see FIG. 17). Note that the display panel DS may be composed of a liquid crystal panel, an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panel, a QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode) panel, or the like, and a housing covering the back side of any of the panels.

[0015] In this embodiment, the equipment packaging set is composed of one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, and 3 and a packaging box 10. In this embodiment, the one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, and 3 are composed of three cushioning materials: a first cushioning material 1, a second cushioning material 2, and a third cushioning material 3.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the packaging box 10 containing the device of this embodiment, and is a partial cross-sectional view of the structure shown in FIG. 1 or 2 taken along line III-III.

[0017] 3, within the packaging box 10, for example, the second cushioning material 2 is present between the stand connecting part SN and the packaging box 10. Specifically, the stand connecting part SN is housed in the recess 2CN of the second cushioning material 2.

[0018] In this embodiment, each of the one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, and 3 functions as a cushioning material during transportation of the equipment packaging set containing the equipment SB, SN, SC, and DS (see FIG. 17). In this embodiment, each of the one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, and 3 is made of polystyrene foam, but is not limited to polystyrene foam and may be made of any material such as paper or cardboard.

[0019] As can be seen from Fig. 3, the positioning portion PR of the stand connecting part SN does not protrude outward beyond the end surface 2ES of the peripheral wall 2CW of the second cushioning material 2. This prevents the positioning protrusion PR from being damaged by colliding with the packaging box 10 during transportation of the equipment packaging set 1, 2, 3, 10 (see Fig. 2). In this embodiment, the positioning portion PR is a protrusion, but it may also be a through-hole or a recess as long as it can be used to position the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. Details of the positioning portion PR will be described later.

[0020] Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating two cushioning materials 1 and 2 constituting the equipment packaging set 1, 2, 3, 10 (see Fig. 2) of this embodiment and three components SB, SN, and SC constituting the equipment SB, SN, SC, and DS (see Fig. 17). Fig. 5 is a rear view illustrating two cushioning materials 1 and 2 constituting the equipment packaging set of this embodiment and three components constituting the equipment SB, SN, SC, and DS, specifically, a stand base SB, a stand connecting component SN, and a stand cover SC.

[0021] 4 and 5, the stand base SB and the stand cover SC can be removed from the first cushioning material 1, and the stand connecting part SN can be removed from the second cushioning material 2. The detailed structures of the first cushioning material 1 and the second cushioning material 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be described below.

[0022] 6 and 7 are a top view and a perspective view, respectively, for explaining the first cushioning material 1 constituting the equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10 (see FIG. 2) of the present embodiment.

[0023] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the first cushioning material 1 has a recess 1CN. The recess 1CN is surrounded by a peripheral wall 1CW. In this embodiment, this recess 1CN functions as a storage recess for storing the stand cover SC, and also functions as a jig recess when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. The use of the recess 1CN as a jig recess will be described later.

[0024] 8 and 9 are a top view and a perspective view, respectively, for explaining the second cushioning material 2 constituting the equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10 (see FIG. 2) of the present embodiment.

[0025] 8 and 9, the second cushioning material 2 has a recess 2CN. The recess 2CN is surrounded by a peripheral wall 2CW. In this embodiment, the recess 2CN functions only as a storage recess for storing the stand connecting part SN.

[0026] FIG. 10 is a top view illustrating the first cushioning material 1 housing the stand cover SC and the second cushioning material 2 housing the stand connecting part SN, which are components of the equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10 of the present embodiment.

[0027] As shown in Figure 10, when each part of the equipment SB, SN, SC, DS (see Figure 17) is packed in a packaging box 10 and transported, the stand cover SC is stored in the recess 1CN of the first cushioning material 1, and the stand connection part SN is stored in the recess 2CN of the second cushioning material 2.

[0028] 11 and 12 are Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for explaining how the stand cover SC is removed from the recess 1CN of the first cushioning material 1 of this embodiment and how the stand connecting part SN removed from the recess 2CN of the second cushioning material 2 is inserted into the recess 1CN of the first cushioning material 1. Fig. 13 is a top view of the first cushioning material 1 in which the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment is stored.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the stand connecting part SN is moved from the recess 2CN of the second cushioning material 2 to the recess 1CN of the first cushioning material 1 during the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN.

[0030] Fig. 14 is a top view showing a state when each of the first cushioning material 1 and the second cushioning material 2 of this embodiment is used as a jig. Fig. 15 is a side view for explaining that each of the first cushioning material 1 and the second cushioning material 2 of this embodiment is used as a jig to attach a stand base SB to a stand connection part SN inserted into the first cushioning material 1. Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view showing a state when each of the first cushioning material 1 and the second cushioning material 2 of this embodiment is used as a jig to attach a stand base SB to a stand connection part SN inserted into the first cushioning material 1.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 14, in the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting member SN, the first cushioning material 1 and the second cushioning material 2 are placed next to each other. Then, as shown in Fig. 15, the stand base SB is lowered toward the stand connecting part SN so that the positioning portion (protrusion) PR of the stand connecting member SN is inserted into the through-hole TH of the stand base SB.

[0032] As a result, as shown in Fig. 16, the positioning portion (protrusion) PR of the stand connecting part SN is inserted into the through-hole TH of the stand base SB. At this time, the positioning portion PR of the stand connecting part SN protrudes outward from the end surface 1ES of the peripheral wall 1CW of the recess 1CN, which functions as a jig recess of the first cushioning material 1 as a multifunctional cushioning material. Therefore, the positioning portion PR can be inserted into the through-hole TH of the stand base SB.

[0033] Furthermore, each of the first cushioning material 1 and the second cushioning material 2 has a shape such that the height H1 from the installation surface GL to the end surface 1ES of the peripheral wall 1CW of the first cushioning material 1 is the same as the height H2 from the installation surface GL to the end surface 2ES of the peripheral wall 2CW of the second cushioning material 2. Therefore, the second cushioning material 2, which serves as another multi-functional cushioning material, functions as a support base for supporting the stand base SB. As a result, the positioning of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be easily performed. After that, the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN are fastened with screws.

[0034] FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a state in which the devices SB, SN, SC, and DS of the first embodiment are completely assembled.

[0035] As shown in Figure 17, after attaching the display panel DS to the assembly of the stand base SB and the stand connection part SN, the stand cover SC is placed over the stand connection part SN to complete the equipment SB, SN, SC, DS, i.e., the television receiver.

[0036] The characteristic configurations of the equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10 (see FIG. 2) of the present embodiment and the effects obtained thereby can be summarized as follows.

[0037] The equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, 10 (see FIG. 2) include a packaging box 10 and one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, 3. The packaging box 10 contains the equipment SB, SN, SC, DS in a disassembled state, with a stand base SB that can be placed on an installation surface GL and a stand connection part SN that can be attached to the stand base SB. The one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, 3 are arranged between the packaging box 10 and each of the equipment SB, SN, SC, DS.

[0038] The one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, 3 have the function of storing at least one of the multiple parts that make up the devices SB, SN, SC, DS, including the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN, when the devices SB, SN, SC, DS are packed in the packaging box 10. On the other hand, the one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, 3 include a first cushioning material 1 as a multifunctional cushioning material shaped to function as a jig in the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN.

[0039] According to such equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10 (see FIG. 2), by devising the shape of the first cushioning material 1 as a multi-functional cushioning material, the first cushioning material 1 can also be used as a jig when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. This eliminates the need to include a cushioning material dedicated to the jig in the packaging box 10. As a result, the equipment packaging box 10 can be made smaller. This reduces the transportation costs when transporting a large number of equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10.

[0040] The first cushioning material 1 as a multifunctional cushioning material includes a recess 1CN that functions as a jig recess into which a stand connecting part SN can be inserted. The stand connecting part SN has a positioning part PR that can be used to position the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. The recess 1CN has a shape such that, when the stand connecting part SN is inserted into the recess 1CN, the positioning part PR of the stand connecting part SN protrudes outward beyond an end face 1ES of a peripheral wall 1CW of the recess 1CN.

[0041] According to such equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10, when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN, the positioning region PR of the stand connecting part SN can be made to protrude outward from the end surface 1ES of the peripheral wall 1CW of the first cushioning material 1. Therefore, the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be assembled in a state where the attachment portion between the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN is easily visible. Therefore, the positioning of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be easily performed.

[0042] The one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, and 3 include a second cushioning material 2 as another multifunctional cushioning material different from the first cushioning material 1 as a multifunctional cushioning material. The second cushioning material 2 as another multifunctional cushioning material has a shape (height) that supports the stand base SB during the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN.

[0043] According to such equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, and 10, when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN, the stand base SB can be stably placed on the end surface 2ES of the peripheral wall 2CW of the second cushioning material 2. Therefore, the assembling work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be easily performed.

[0044] The one or more cushioning materials 1, 2, and 3 include a second cushioning material 2 as a storage cushioning material having a storage recess 2CN in which the stand connecting part SN is stored when the devices SB, SN, SC, and DS are packed. During the assembly of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN, the stand connecting part SN is moved from the recess 2CN functioning as the storage recess to the recess 1CN functioning as the jig recess. In this state, the positioning part PR protrudes outward from the end face 1ES of the peripheral wall 1CW.

[0045] According to such equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, 10, the first cushioning material 1 can be used as a jig simply by the simple operation of shifting the stand connecting part SN from the recess 2CN of the second cushioning material 2 to the recess 1CN of the first cushioning material 1.

[0046] (Embodiment 2) The equipment packaging set and cushioning material used therein according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 18 to 22. Note that the following description will not be repeated regarding the same points as those of the equipment packaging set and cushioning material used therein according to the first embodiment. The equipment packaging set and cushioning material used therein according to the present embodiment differ from the equipment packaging set and cushioning material used therein according to the first embodiment in the following respects.

[0047] In this embodiment, a second cushioning material 12 is used as a multi-functional cushioning material instead of the second cushioning material 2 of embodiment 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the equipment packaging set is described as equipment packaging set 1, 12, 3, 10, and one or more cushioning materials are described as one or more cushioning materials 1, 12, 3.

[0048] Fig. 18 is a perspective view of the second cushioning material 12 of this embodiment. Fig. 19 is a perspective view of the second cushioning material 12 in which the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment 2 is stored. Fig. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the second cushioning material 12 in which the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment is stored, taken along the line XX-XX of Fig. 19.

[0049] 18 to 20, when the devices SB, SN, SC, and DS are packed in the device packing sets 1, 12, 3, and 10, the positioning part PR is positioned between a lower end face 12LES and an upper end face 12UES of the recess 12CN that functions as a storage recess. The recess 12CN is surrounded by a peripheral wall 12CW.

[0050] Fig. 21 is a perspective view of a structure in which a stand base SB is attached to a stand connection part SN housed in second cushioning material 12 of this embodiment. Fig. 22 is a cross-sectional view of the structure in which a stand base SB is attached to a stand connection part SN housed in second cushioning material 12 of this embodiment, taken along line XXII-XXII in Fig. 21. Note that Fig. 22 also depicts the stand base SB and the first cushioning material 1 as another multi-functional cushioning material.

[0051] The second cushioning material 12 has a shape that allows the positional relationship between the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN to be maintained during the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. Therefore, the second cushioning material 12 of this embodiment also makes it easy to position the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN.

[0052] Specifically, the second cushioning material 12 has a shape that can maintain the positional relationship between the stand base SB and the stand connection part SN, and has a step portion ST that can be used to position the stand base SB relative to the second shock member 12 in which the stand connection part SN is stored.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second cushioning material 12 includes a recess 12CN that functions as a storage recess into which the stand connecting part SN can be inserted. This recess 12CN also functions as a jig recess in the assembling operation of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. In other words, like the second cushioning material 2 in the first embodiment, the second cushioning material 12 in this embodiment also has a shape that can store the stand connecting part SN as a part, and also has a shape that functions as a jig in the assembling operation of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN.

[0054] The use of the second cushioning material 12 of this embodiment also eliminates the need to place a cushioning material specifically for jigs inside the packaging box 10. As a result, the packaging box 10 can be made smaller, thereby reducing the cost required to transport a large number of equipment packaging sets 1, 12, 3, 10.

[0055] In this embodiment, the stand connecting part SN also has a positioning part PR that can be used to position the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN during the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. When the recess 12CN functions as a jig recess, the stand connecting part SN is inserted into the jig recess 12CN, just as when the recess 12CN functions as a storage recess. In this state, the positioning part PR has a shape that protrudes outward beyond the upper end face 12UES of the step part ST and the lower end face 12LES of the lower end face 12LES of the step part ST, but does not protrude outward beyond the upper end face 12UES.

[0056] The second cushioning material 12 also allows the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN to be assembled in a state where the attachment parts of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN are visible. Therefore, the positioning of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be easily performed. In addition, damage to the positioning part PR due to collision with the packaging box 10 during transportation of the equipment packaging set 1, 12, 3, 10 is suppressed.

[0057] Furthermore, in the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN, the stand base SB can be placed on the lower end surface 12LES of the step portion ST. Therefore, when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN, the stand base SB can be stably placed on the lower end surface 12LES of the peripheral wall 12CW of the second cushioning material 12. Therefore, the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be easily performed.

[0058] In this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the first buffer material 1 has a shape (height) that functions as a base for supporting the stand base SB when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. In other words, the first buffer material 1 also functions as a jig.

[0059] (Embodiment 3) The equipment packaging set of embodiment 3 and the cushioning material used therein will be described using Figures 23 and 24. Note that the following description will not repeat the same points as those of the equipment packaging set of embodiment 1 or 2 and the cushioning material used therein. The equipment packaging set of this embodiment and the cushioning material used therein differ from the equipment packaging set of embodiment 1 or 2 and the cushioning material used therein in the following points.

[0060] Fig. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the second cushioning material 2 (same as the second cushioning material 2 of embodiment 1) in which the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment is housed. Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view of the structure in which the second cushioning material 2 of this embodiment is housed in the stand connecting part SN with the height adjustment member HA inserted into the bottom part 2BS of the second cushioning material 2.

[0061] 23 and 24, the equipment packing sets 1, 2, 3, 10, and HA of this embodiment further include a height adjustment member HA in addition to the components of the equipment packing sets 1, 2, 3, and 10 of embodiment 1. The height adjustment member HA is placed in a gap within the packaging box 10. For example, the height adjustment member HA may be placed in a bag for storing an instruction manual or the like that is placed in a gap within the packaging box 10.

[0062] The height adjustment member HA is inserted into the bottom portion 2BS of the recess 2CN serving as a jig recess during the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. This assists the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. Specifically, the height adjustment member HA has a shape that adjusts the height position of the positioning part PR of the stand connecting part SN inserted into the recess 2CN so that the positioning part PR protrudes outward beyond the end surface 2ES of the peripheral wall 2CW.

[0063] That is, the second cushioning material 2 in this embodiment has a shape that can accommodate the stand connecting part SN as a component, and also has a shape that functions as a jig in the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. Therefore, there is no need to put a cushioning material dedicated to the jig inside the packaging box 10. As a result, the packaging box 10 can be made smaller, and the cost required for transporting a large number of equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, 10, HA can be reduced.

[0064] According to such equipment packaging sets 1, 2, 3, 10, and HA, the second cushioning material 2 can be used as a jig simply by inserting the height adjustment member HA into the bottom 2BS of the recess 2CN of the second cushioning material 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, the first buffer material 1 has a shape (height) that functions as a base that supports the stand base SB when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. In other words, the first buffer material 1 also functions as a jig.

[0066] (Fourth embodiment) The equipment packaging set of embodiment 4 and the cushioning material used therein will be described using Figures 25 to 30. Note that, below, descriptions of the same points as those of the equipment packaging sets and cushioning materials used therein of embodiments 1 to 3 will not be repeated. The equipment packaging set of this embodiment and the cushioning material used therein differ from the equipment packaging sets and cushioning materials used therein of embodiments 1 to 3 in the following points.

[0067] In this embodiment, a second cushioning material 22 is used as a multi-functional cushioning material instead of the second cushioning material 2 of embodiment 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the equipment packaging set is described as equipment packaging set 1, 22, 3, 10, and one or more cushioning materials are described as one or more cushioning materials 1, 22, 3.

[0068] Fig. 25 is a perspective view of the second cushioning material 22 containing the stand connection part SN when packed in the equipment packing set 1, 22, 3, 10 of this embodiment. Fig. 26 is a top view of the second cushioning material 22 containing the stand connection part SN when packed in the equipment packing set 1, 22, 3, 10 of this embodiment. Fig. 27 is a cross-sectional view of the second cushioning material containing the stand connection part SN when packed in the equipment packing set 1, 22, 3, 10 of this embodiment, taken along line XXVII-XXVII in Fig. 26.

[0069] 25 to 27, when the devices SB, SN, SC, and DS are packed, the stand connecting part SN is housed in a recess 22CN that also functions as a jig recess. The recess 22CN is surrounded by a peripheral wall 22CW.

[0070] When assembling the devices SB, SN, SC, and DS, the second cushioning material 22 and the stand connecting part SN are removed from the device packaging sets 1, 22, 3, and 10. Specifically, with regard to the second cushioning material 22, the stand connecting part SN is removed from the recess 22CN serving as a jig recess.

[0071] Fig. 28 is a perspective view of the second cushioning material 22 in which the stand connecting part SN is housed during the assembling work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment. Fig. 29 is a top view of the second cushioning material 22 in which the stand connecting part SN is housed during the assembling work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment. Fig. 30 is a cross-sectional view of the second cushioning material 22 in which the stand connecting part SN is housed during the assembling work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN of this embodiment, taken along the line XXX-XXX in Fig. 29.

[0072] 28 to 30, the second cushioning material 22 has a shape that allows the stand connecting part SN to be inserted in a state where the attitude of the stand connecting part SN with respect to the recess 22CN is changed during the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. First, the second cushioning material 22 is placed on the installation surface with the recess 22CN facing upward. In this state, the stand connecting part SN is removed from the recess 22CN in the vertical direction, rotated 180 degrees around the vertical rotation axis from the state where it is stored in the recess 22CN, and then inserted again in the vertical direction into the recess 22CN.

[0073] Specifically, the second cushioning material 22 has a jig insertion groove 22G as a shape into which the stand connecting part SN can be inserted when the attitude of the stand connecting part SN relative to the recess 22CN is changed. The jig insertion groove 22G has a shape such that the positioning part PR protrudes outward from the end face 2ES of the peripheral wall 22CW when the stand connecting part SN is inserted into the jig insertion groove 22G.

[0074] The second cushioning material 22 of the present embodiment as described above has a shape that can accommodate the stand connecting part SN as a component, and also has a shape that functions as a jig in the assembly work of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. Therefore, there is no need to put a cushioning material dedicated to the jig inside the packaging box 10. As a result, the packaging box 10 can be made smaller, and the cost required for transporting a large number of equipment packaging sets 1, 22, 3, 10 can be reduced.

[0075] Furthermore, with the second cushioning material 22 of this embodiment, the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be assembled in a state where the attachment parts of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN are visible, so that the positioning of the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN can be easily performed.

[0076] In this embodiment, similarly to the second and third embodiments, the first cushioning material 1 has a shape (height) that functions as a base for supporting the stand base SB when assembling the stand base SB and the stand connecting part SN. In other words, the first cushioning material 1 also functions as a jig. [Explanation of symbols]
