Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] To provide a returnable box also used as a showcase, which can be opened after packing various commodities and transporting and carrying them into a store, etc., so that the commodities can be displayed on a commodity shelf as they are, and can be folded compactly and collected after the commodity is sold, so that the box can be used repeatedly. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in stores such as supermarkets and discount stores, various products are displayed and sold by arranging them on display shelves, and products that are transported and delivered in packaged form from suppliers are arranged by store employees in designated positions on the display shelves, organized by product type.

[0003] When products are transported to stores using, for example, cardboard containers, the containers are often simply discarded after the products are removed.Furthermore, to avoid the waste of discarding containers, foldable returnable boxes are sometimes used between stores and suppliers.

[0004] Meanwhile, it has also been proposed to reuse containers used to package products as they are. Examples include Patent Document 1, which is a storage container; Patent Document 2, which is also a storage container; and Patent Document 3, which is a storage case. The storage container of Patent Document 1 is said to be able to store and remove clothes, futons, etc., and to keep storage spaces such as closets and cupboards in order. The storage container of Patent Document 2 is said to be designed to prevent items from collapsing, making it easy to store and remove items in layers, such as clothes. The storage case of Patent Document 3 is said to be able to be used individually or stacked, and to be able to be folded compactly when not in use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3217495 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3210582 [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3140960 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, conventional storage containers such as those described above are used to organize and tidy up items stored in stores after they have been sold as merchandise, and are not intended to be used as product display fixtures in stores. In other words, the storage containers in their packaged state are merely provided together with the products so that they can be used as organizing containers for organizing and tidying up the merchandise after purchase, and it is not intended that only the stored merchandise will be sold and the empty storage containers will be collected and reused.

[0007] Furthermore, even if the conventional storage containers described above are used as display fixtures by packing multiple products inside the container, it is difficult to arrange multiple products inside the containers once they are opened in the store, making them unsuitable as display fixtures.

[0008] To provide a returnable box that can also be used as a showcase, which can store and pack a large number of products in a neat and tidy manner when they are displayed and sold in an aligned state, and which can be placed on a product shelf as a display container after being opened after being carried into a store, and which can be collected compactly after sales are completed, and can be used repeatedly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a returnable box that can also be used as a showcase, in which a specified number of products G are packed in an aligned manner in a returnable box body 1 for transportation, and after opening, the returnable box body 1 can be used as a showcase as is.The returnable box body 1 has a bottom 2 that can be folded inward, foldable left and right side walls 6 that stand upright on the left and right sides of the bottom 2, a rear side wall 8 that is connected between the rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 and stands upright from the bottom 2, a front side wall 9 that is connected between the lower front edges of the left and right side walls 6 and stands upright from the bottom 2, and covers the lower opening on the front of the returnable box body 1, and an openable / closable lid wall 10 that is connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9 so as to be able to rise and fall freely and covers the upper opening on the front and the upper opening on the returnable box body 1, and the openable / closable lid wall 10 is configured so that the returnable box body 1 itself can be opened and closed freely by a slide fastener 15. The slide fastener 15 is composed of teeth provided on the edge that opens and closes, and a pair of sliders arranged on the left and right so that these teeth interlock, and can be configured so that the returnable box body 1 is closed by moving it from the front to the rear of the returnable box body 1, and the returnable box body 1 is opened by moving it from the rear to the front. The bottom 2 can be provided with a bottom reinforcing plate 4 made of a rigid material, which is connected to the rear edge of the bottom 2 so as to be free to rise and fall, and which is folded in half along a bottom folding line 4A at the front and rear of the returnable box body 1. The left and right side walls 6 are formed of a rigid material, and can be folded in half toward the inside of the returnable box body 1 along a folding line 7 at the center in the front-rear direction, and when folded in half, can be configured to be overlapped together with the bottom part 2 folded into the returnable box body 1 and overlapped on the front surface of the bottom reinforcing plate 4 folded on the front surface of the rear side wall 8. The opening / closing lid wall 10 is formed of a rigid material and is connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9 so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and can be configured by connecting a front lid portion 11 that is connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9 so as to be able to be bent and cover the upper opening on the front of the returnable box body 1, and a main body lid portion 12 that covers the top opening of the returnable box body 1 so as to be able to be bent freely by a lid fold line 13. The openable / closable cover wall 10 can be configured so that when the returnable box body 1 is opened, it is turned inside out, the front cover part 11 is placed on the front surface of the front side wall 9, and the body cover part 12 is placed on the underside of the bottom part 2 of the returnable box body 1. When the length of the returnable box body 1 in the front-to-rear direction is a, its width is b, and its height is c, the bottom 2 has a length in the front-to-rear direction a and a width b, the left and right side walls 6 have a length along the front-to-rear direction a and a height c, and the height c of the left and right side walls 6 is a / 2 so that when the returnable box body 1 is folded, the left and right side walls 6 themselves are overlapped on the rear wall 8 from the left and right, the length from the front and rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 to the fold line 7 is a / 2, the rear wall 8 has a width b and a height c, and the front wall 9 has a width b and a height c / 2, and the front cover portion 11 of the opening and closing cover wall 10 has a length equal to the height of the front wall 9 and a width equal to the width of the front wall 9, and the main body cover portion 12 can be configured to have a length and a width similar to the length and width of the bottom 2.

[0010] In the present invention's showcase-cum-returnable box configured as described above, a predetermined product G is stored in the open returnable box body 1 and then closed with the slide fastener 15 to create a packaged state. At the destination, for example, a store, the slide fastener 15 is opened to reveal the product G, and the openable cover wall 10 is turned inside out and positioned under the bottom 2, thereby creating a showcase in which the product G can be displayed as is. The bottom reinforcing plate 4, which is folded in half along a bottom folding line 4A so as to be free to rise and fall on the bottom 2, reinforces the bottom 2 in the extended state, supports the stored goods G in the returnable box body 1, and folds the left and right side walls 6 into the returnable box body 1 along folding lines 7 and is folded onto the inner surface of the rear side wall 8, thereby compactly folding the returnable box body 1 to about the size of the rear side wall 8. The front of the returnable box body 1 is provided with a front side wall 9 that covers the lower opening on the front side, and the openable / closable lid wall 10, which is connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9 and can be freely raised and lowered, works in conjunction with the bending action of the lid fold line 13 to cover the upper opening on the front of the returnable box body 1 with the front lid portion 11 and to cover the top opening of the returnable box body 1 with the body lid portion 12, so that the upper surface and front opening of the returnable box body 1 can be freely opened and closed. When the opening / closing lid wall 10 is opened, not only the upper surface of the returnable box body 1 but also the upper half of the front opening is opened, thereby making the products G stored in the returnable box body 1 appear at a glance and highlighting the presence of the products G when displayed. The bottom reinforcing plate 4, left and right side walls 6, rear side wall 8, front side wall 9, opening and closing lid wall 10, etc. of the returnable box body 1 are formed of rigid materials, so that when closed with slide fasteners 15, they will not be crushed by their own weight even if they are stacked in multiple layers, and the products G stored inside are adequately protected. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] Since the present invention is configured as described above, when a large number of products G are displayed and sold in a line in a store or the like, they can be brought into the store in a neatly packed state, and when opened after being brought into the store, the returnable box body 1 can be used as a showcase by placing it on a display shelf, for example, without removing the products G that appear in the returnable box body 1. Furthermore, after sales are over, the returnable box body 1 can be folded compactly to make its volume extremely small, and it can be collected in a packed state and used repeatedly, which is a great help in saving resources.

[0012] That is, in the present invention, the returnable box body 1 for packing and transporting goods G in an aligned manner comprises a foldable bottom 2, foldable left and right side walls 6 erected on the left and right sides of the bottom 2, a rear side wall 8 connected between the rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 and erected from the bottom 2, a front side wall 9 connected between the lower front edges of the left and right side walls 6 and erected from the bottom 2 to cover the lower opening on the front of the returnable box body 1, and an openable / closable lid wall 10 connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9 so as to be able to rise and fall and cover the upper opening on the front and the opening of the returnable box body 1, and the openable / closable lid wall 10 can be opened and closed freely by a slide fastener 15, so that when it is moved from the front to the rear it closes the returnable box body 1, and when it is moved from the rear to the front it opens it.

[0013] Furthermore, a bottom reinforcing plate 4 made of a rigid material that folds in half is provided on the rear edge of the bottom 2 so as to be free to rise and fall, and by being laid out on the bottom 2, this bottom reinforcing plate 4 reinforces the foldable bottom 2 and firmly supports the stored products G. When the returnable box body 1 is folded in half, the left and right side walls 6 are folded inward and overlap the front of the rear side wall 8, making the whole compact.

[0014] The left and right side walls 6 are made of a rigid material that can be folded into the returnable box body 1 along folding lines 7, thereby protecting the stored goods G from shocks from the outside and the like, and when not in use, they are folded into the returnable box body 1 together with the bottom 2 to make the box compact.

[0015] A front side wall 9 made of a rigid material that closes the lower opening of the front opening is provided on the front of the returnable box body 1 and is connected between the side edges of the left and right side walls 6, thereby increasing the rigidity of the returnable box body 1. In addition, the top surface of the returnable box body 1 and the upper opening of the front opening can be opened and closed by raising and lowering an opening / closing cover wall 10 that is connected from an upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9.

[0016] When the container is closed with the opening / closing lid wall 10, the front lid portion 11 covers the front together with the front side wall 9, and the main body lid portion 12, which is folded at the upper edge of the front opening by the lid fold line 13, covers the top surface, thereby protecting the product G stored inside.When the container is closed with the slide fastener 15, external interference with the product G stored inside can be eliminated, and the product G can be safely protected, for example, during transportation.

[0017] When the returnable box body 1 is opened, the closing lid wall 10 is turned upside down at the front of the returnable box body 1, with the front lid portion 11 overlapping the front of the front side wall 9, and the body lid portion 12 is positioned on the underside of the bottom 2 by the lid fold line 13 bent at the lower edge of the front opening, leaving the upper part of the front and the entire top surface of the returnable box body 1 open, and the opening / closing lid wall 10 itself does not get in the way when the box is displayed on the display shelf D.

[0018] The bottom reinforcing plate 4, left and right side walls 6, rear wall 8, front wall 9, and opening / closing lid wall 10 that make up each side wall of the returnable box body 1 are made of rigid material, so that even when multiple returnable box bodies 1 are stacked in multiple layers, they will not be crushed by the weight of the stored products G and other items, and the products G stored inside can be sufficiently protected. At this time, by inserting a belt B through the insertion loop 24 so as to fasten the returnable box bodies 1 together in the stacking direction, it is also possible to prevent the load from falling over.

[0019] When the sale of product G or the like is completed, the empty returnable box body 1 can be folded in half by lifting the bottom reinforcing plate 4 and folding the bottoms 2 of the left and right side walls 6 inward, pressing them against the rear side wall 8, and then the entire returnable box body 1 folded in this way can be wrapped around the openable / closeable lid wall 10 folded by the main body lid folding portion 14, and then tied together with the binding band 20, thereby making it possible to compactly store the returnable box body 1 in this state, and it does not take up much space when collected.

[0020] Furthermore, when storing and packing the products G inside the returnable box body 1, they can simply be aligned according to the layout at the time of display, eliminating the need for sorting in a store, for example, and allowing for efficient display layout work, which leads to a reduction in the workload on site. Not only that, but because the returnable box body 1 itself is used as a showcase, there is no need to store empty cases as in the past, and because it can be folded compactly after use, it does not get in the way even in stores with limited back space.

[0021] Moreover, when a small amount of goods G is stored and packed, they can be transported in one box, and when the amount of goods G increases, they can be stacked in multiple layers, for example, two layers, and bundled together into a single unit using a belt B inserted into the insertion loop 23, thereby reducing logistics costs and allowing for convenient transportation in the optimal mode that does not incur logistics costs at any given time.

[0024] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The reference numeral 1 shown in the drawings is a returnable box body, and this returnable box body 1 is packed with predetermined products G aligned and transported to a store, etc. After being opened at the store, etc., it is placed in the opened state as a showcase, for example on a display shelf D, and if necessary, it is appropriately displayed so that the products G can be sold.

[0025] The returnable box body 1 comprises a bottom 2 that can be folded inward, foldable left and right side walls 6 that stand upright on the left and right sides of the bottom 2, a rear side wall 8 that is connected between the rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 and stands upright from the bottom 2, a front side wall 9 that is connected between the lower front edges of the left and right side walls 6 and stands upright from the bottom 2 and covers the lower opening on the front of the returnable box body 1, and an openable / closable lid wall 10 that is connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front side wall 9 so as to be able to rise and fall freely and covers the upper opening on the front and the opening of the returnable box body 1, and the openable / closable lid wall 10 is configured so that the returnable box body 1 itself can be opened and closed freely by a slide fastener 15.

[0026] The bottom 2 is usually formed from a synthetic resin sheet material of a predetermined thickness so that it can be folded, and a bottom reinforcing plate 4 made of a rigid material is provided on the rear edge of the bottom 2, supporting the base where the rear wall 8 is erected. The bottom reinforcing plate 4 is folded in half front to back along a bottom fold line 4A along the front to back direction of the returnable box body 1, so that it can be overlapped on the inside surface of the rear wall 8. In the present invention, the rigid material may be any material as long as it has sufficient strength to support the load of the various products G to be stored and packaged, and may be, for example, a hard synthetic resin plate material, thick corrugated cardboard, or the like.

[0027] In addition, a bottom knob 3 is provided at approximately the center of the bottom 2, which is used to pull up the bottom 2 so as to fold it inward into the box body 1, and a bottom operation knob 5 is provided at the front edge of the bottom reinforcing plate 4, which is used to pull up the bottom reinforcing plate 4 itself when folding it in half, or to pull the folded bottom reinforcing plate 4 forward.

[0028] The left and right side walls 6 are made of a rigid material and are folded in half along a folding line 7 provided at the center in the front-to-rear direction toward the inside of the box body 1. When folded in half along the front-to-rear direction, they are overlapped together with the bottom 2 to be folded, and are overlapped on the front surface of the bottom reinforcing plate 4 that is folded onto the front surface of the rear side wall 8.

[0029] The rear side wall 8 is formed of a rigid material and, together with the left and right side walls 6, maintains the independence of the returnable box body 1 itself.

[0030] The front opening of the returnable box body 1 is divided into two parts, upper and lower, and the lower opening is closed by the front side wall 9 which is formed upright by being connected to the bottom 2 and the left and right side walls 6, and the upper opening can be freely opened and closed together with the top opening of the returnable box body 1 by an opening and closing lid wall 10.

[0031] The openable / closable cover wall 10 is formed of a rigid material so as to be freely bendable via a main body cover folding portion 14 provided at approximately the center in the front-to-rear direction, and is connected to an upper edge fold line 9A of the front wall 9 so as to be freely raised and lowered. The openable / closable cover wall 10 itself is composed of a front cover portion 11 which is foldably connected to the upper edge fold line 9A of the front wall 9 and covers the upper opening on the front of the returnable box body 1, and a main body cover portion 12 which covers the top opening of the returnable box body 1, which are foldably connected together via a cover folding line 13. The front opening of the returnable box body 1 is divided into two parts so that the top and bottom have the same area, and the cover folding line 13 is located at the upper edge of the front opening when the returnable box body 1 is closed, and is located at the lower edge of the front opening when it is opened and turned over.

[0032] The main body lid folding portion 14 itself is located at a position that divides the main body lid portion 12 into approximately two parts in the front-to-back direction, and as will be described later, is formed so that its width in the front-to-back direction is slightly larger so that after the entire returnable box body 1 is folded when not in use, the entire box can be folded in a rolled-up manner.

[0033] When the returnable box body 1 is opened, the front lid 11 is turned upside down and placed on the front of the front wall 9, and the body lid 12 is placed on the underside of the bottom 2 of the returnable box body 1, thereby exposing the products G stored in the returnable box body 1. When opened in this way, the returnable box body 1 can be placed as is as a showcase, for example, on a display shelf D, and the stored products G can be displayed.

[0034] Here, to explain the size of each side wall and the like that form the above-mentioned returnable box body 1, as shown in Figure 10, if the length in the front-to-back direction of the returnable box body 1 is a, its width is b, and its height is c, then the sizes are as follows.

[0035] The bottom 2 has a length a in the front-to-rear direction and a width b, and the left and right side walls 6 have a length a along the front-to-rear direction and a height c. This height c is a / 2 because the left and right side walls 6 themselves overlap the rear wall 8 from the left and right when the returnable box body 1 is folded. The length from the front and rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 to the fold line 7 is also a / 2. The rear wall 8 has a width b and a height c. The front wall 9 has a width b and a height c / 2. The front cover portion 11 of the opening / closing cover wall 10 has the same length and width as the height and width of the front wall 9, respectively. The main body cover portion 12 has the same length and width as the bottom 2. The length a / 2 from the front and rear edges of the left and right side walls 6 to the fold line 7 is shorter than half the width b of the bottom.

[0036] In addition, when the top opening of the returnable box body 1 is covered with the opening / closing lid wall 10, it is closed by a slide fastener 15, and this slide fastener 15 is configured so that it can be opened and closed freely between the side edge of the opening / closing lid wall 10, the side edge of the upper opening on the front, the upper edges of the left and right side walls 6, and the upper edge of the rear side wall 8.

[0037] The slide fastener 15 is made up of teeth provided on the edge that opens and closes, and a pair of sliders arranged on the left and right so that these teeth engage with each other, and when the pair of sliders are positioned on the left and right of the upper opening edge of the front face, the returnable box body 1 is in an open state, and when the sliders are moved to the rear of the returnable box body 1, for example, to the center of the rear side wall 8, the returnable box body 1 is in a closed state. In addition, the left and right sliders can be locked together when they are butted together, and locking ensures safety during transportation, etc.

[0038] The teeth of the slide fastener 15 itself are arranged from the upper edge of the front wall 9 of the commuter box body 1 to the left and right edges and front edge of the opening and closing cover wall 10, the upper half and upper edge of the front edges of the left and right side walls 6, and even the upper edge of the rear wall 8, and the commuter box body 1 can be configured to be opened and closed by sliding it from either the left or right side of the upper opening end of the commuter box body 1 to the other.

[0039] One of the left and right side walls 6 is provided with a pocket 21 into which a card or the like displaying the product G stored inside can be inserted. Handles 22, for example, formed by fastening the ends of a strip-shaped material, are attached to the outer surfaces of the left and right side walls 6, and can be used for transporting, moving, and otherwise using the returnable box body 1. Pairs of insertion loops 23 are arranged on the left and right of the outer surfaces of the left and right side walls 6, and as shown in Figure 9, for example, by inserting and fastening a belt B or the like into each insertion loop 24 of returnable boxes stacked in multiple layers, it is possible to prevent the load from falling over when stacked.

[0040] Further, the symbol 20 denotes a cable tie provided, for example, on the inner surface of the opening / closing cover wall 10, rearward of the main body cover folding portion 14, and after the folded returnable box body 1 is wrapped around the opening / closing cover wall 10 folded in half by the main body cover folding portion 14, the entire body can be bundled by folding back the cable tie 20 itself.

[0041] Next, an example of how to use this box will be described. When the box is assembled and closed as shown in Figure 1, the paired sliders of the slide fastener 15 are moved together toward the front wall 9, and the main body lid 12 is brought forward to open the returnable box body 1. After opening, the bottom reinforcing plate 4 is flattened and placed on the bottom 2 (see Figure 2), and if necessary, the main body lid 12 is folded back and placed on the underside of the bottom 2 (see Figures 3 and 4).

[0042] Next, the desired product G can be placed inside the returnable box body 1, and then the body lid 12 is placed over the opening of the returnable box body 1, with the front lid 11 positioned directly above the front wall 9. Once placed, the slider of the slide fastener 15 is moved toward the rear wall 8 to close the opening of the returnable box body 1, and in some cases the sliders are locked together (see Figure 1). The returnable box is transported to a store or other location in the closed state, and if multiple items are to be stacked during transport, they can be secured with a belt B or the like, as shown in Figure 9, if necessary.

[0043] At the destination store or the like, the slide fastener 15 is moved toward the front wall 9 to separate the opening / closing lid wall 10 from the rear wall 8 and the left and right side walls 6, thereby opening the returnable box body 1, and the front lid portion 11 is overlapped with the front wall 9, and the body lid portion 12 is folded over and overlapped toward the underside of the bottom 2 (see Figure 4), revealing the stored products G, which can then be lined up on an appropriate display shelf D (see Figure 8).

[0044] When the main body lid 12 is folded back toward the underside of the bottom 2 in this manner, the tops of the merchandise G stored inside are exposed, making it a showcase that can appeal to customers.

[0045] Then, when product G is sold, the empty returnable box body 1 is folded by lifting the bottom reinforcing plate 4 with the bottom operating knob 5 and folding it over the rear sidewall 8. At the same time, the bottom 2 is lifted and folded down with the bottom knob 3, and the left and right sidewalls 6 are folded inward from the left and right along the fold lines 7 of the bottom reinforcing plate 4 (see FIG. 6). Next, the body lid 12, which has been folded back at the upper edge of the front opening, is folded back along the body lid folding portion 14 (see FIG. 7(A)), and the front portion of the folded body lid 12 is placed on the backside of the rear sidewall 8 (see FIG. 7(B)). By doing this, the entire assembly is folded over, overlapping each other in the front-to-back direction. Then, the cable tie 20 attached to the rear portion of the body lid 12 on the backside of the rear sidewall 8 is folded back to tie the entire assembly together (see FIG. 7(C)).

[0046] When viewed from the front in a bound state, the bundle is compactly bundled as it is almost the size of the rear wall 8, and by bundling an appropriate number of them together, they can be stored in another returnable box body 1, and are not bulky when collected, making them easy to handle.
