Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a crate that can be accommodated in a packaging box and that can accommodate items to be transported. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, cosmetic refills may be packed in a synthetic resin pouch and sent to the user. Here, the size of the pouch is not fixed due to the type of cosmetic product and other reasons, and there are a variety of pouches with different longitudinal dimensions (longitudinal dimensions of the product) and width dimensions (width dimensions of the product). It is difficult to pack pouches of various sizes into a box and prevent the pouches from moving and becoming unstable during transportation, so conventionally, the pouches have been secured in place with a cardboard backing with film or cushioning material has been filled into the gap between the box and the pouches. However, conventional methods require a great deal of labor and cost to pack the pouches into boxes, and improvements have been desired.

[0003] Another prior art technology is a package that can accommodate multiple types of containers with different longitudinal dimensions using anti-slip protrusions (Patent Document 1). However, this package only accommodates a single product and does not have the ability to adjust the lateral dimensions. Therefore, it is difficult to apply this to transport multiple types of pouches with different dimensions. The applicant has also proposed a box that can store multiple types of items at a time desired by the user (see Patent Document 2). While such a box is useful, it does not provide the structure of the inner frame of the box itself. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-281161 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 7158227 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention has been proposed in consideration of the problems of the prior art described above, and aims to provide an inner frame for a box body that can form multiple product storage sections using multiple areas with the same cutting lines and folding lines, making it possible to store items in a stable state without requiring a great deal of effort to form the product storage sections. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The inner frame (10) of the present invention is housed inside a box (100) and houses a product (e.g., a cosmetic refill pouch), and It is manufactured by appropriately folding a single sheet of backing paper (1) on which cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) are formed, It has areas for storing products (storage section 11, storage section 12), The cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) are arranged so that the product longitudinal (LS) dimension of the storage area (11, 12) is adjusted by folding along the folding line corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the product to be stored, and the product width (WS) dimension of the storage area (11, 12) is adjusted by changing the folding direction along the folding line (for example, a direction perpendicular to the backing sheet 1 and a direction inclined relative to the perpendicular direction) corresponding to the width dimension of the product to be stored. In the present invention, the areas for storing the products (storage section 11, storage section 12) are provided in multiple locations (on the backing sheet 1), and it is preferable that the cutting line (C) and folding line (B) in the areas for storing the multiple products (storage section 11, storage section 12) have the same relative positions with respect to the storing areas (11, 12).

[0007] The cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) are provided on the bottom side of the product in the area (storage section 11, storage section 12) that stores the product, and multiple areas (Sg1 to Sg6) are provided that are surrounded by multiple cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B), and folding lines (B11 to B13, B21 to B23) are formed at the boundaries between the multiple areas (Sg1 to Sg6) and the backing paper (1) and between the areas and adjacent areas, and it is preferable that the folding lines (B11, B22) that correspond to the longitudinal dimension of the product (pouch) can be folded to the back side of the base paper (1) (the side away from the viewer in Figures 2 to 5 and Figure 8) to adjust the longitudinal dimension (LS) of the product in the storage area (storage section 11, storage section 12). Here, the term "bottom side of the product" refers to the supporting base surface of the product when it is housed in the inner frame. In other words, it means the bottom surface of the inner frame when the product is housed in the inner frame. The term "bottom side of the product" does not refer to the bottom of the freestanding product when the product is thick enough to stand on its own.

[0008] Alternatively, the cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) include cutting lines (C101 to C104) provided on the edge side of the product width direction (WS) in the area (storage section 11, storage section 12) that stores the product, and folding lines (B41, B42, B51, B52, B141, B142, B151, B152) formed at both ends of the cutting lines (C101 to C104) in the product longitudinal direction (LS), and a region (Sg) having the cutting lines (C101 to C104) and folding lines (B41, B42, B51, B52, B141, B142, B151, B152) It is preferable that the product width direction (WS) dimension of the area (storage section 11, storage section 12) for storing the product is adjusted depending on the direction in which the areas (Sg7, Sg9, Sg11, Sg13) having the cutting lines and folding lines extend after the areas (Sg7, Sg9, Sg11, Sg13) having the cutting lines and folding lines are folded along the folding lines (B41, B42, B51, B52, B141, B142, B151, B152) (for example, a direction perpendicular to the backing paper and a direction inclined relative to the perpendicular direction).

[0009] In the present invention, the cutting lines (C101 to C104) protrude (bias) toward the center of the product width direction (WS) of the storage area (storage section 11, storage section 12) relative to the folding lines (B41, B42, B51, B52, B141, B142, B151, B152), and it is preferable that the protruding portions are positioned so as to press down from above on the side edge portions (PA, Figure 7) of the products (P) stored in the storage area.

[0010] In addition, in the present invention, it is preferable that the cutting lines (C71, C72, C81, C82, C171, C172, C181, C182, C91, C92) and folding lines (BM1, BM2, BM11, BM12, BM3, BM4) in the area on the product mouth side in the area that stores the product (storage section 11, storage section 12) are arranged so as to form a space that stores the mouth of the product.

[0011] The manufacturing method of the present invention comprises: A method for manufacturing a frame (10) that is housed inside a box (100) and contains a product (e.g., a cosmetic refill pouch), comprising: The method includes a step of appropriately folding a single sheet of backing paper (1) on which cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) are formed, The mount (1) has areas for storing products (storage sections 11 and 12), a step of adjusting the product longitudinal dimension (LS) of the storage area (11, 12) by selecting and folding a folding line (B) corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the product to be stored; a step of adjusting the folding direction (for example, a direction perpendicular to the backing sheet and a direction inclined relative to the perpendicular direction) at the folding line (B) in accordance with the width dimension of the product to be stored, thereby adjusting the product width direction (WS) dimension of the storage area (11, 12); It is characterized by having: [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, multiple parts are not required, and the product can be manufactured using only one sheet of backing paper (1) with cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) formed. Furthermore, since the cutting lines (C) are not formed to separate specific parts from the backing paper (1), when manufacturing the inner frame (10) of the present invention, scraps of backing paper (1) do not fall off and contaminate the work area. Therefore, it is well suited to the current trend of high environmental awareness. The present invention can be implemented simply by forming cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) on one piece of backing paper (1), and therefore can be effective simply and at low cost.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) are arranged so that the product longitudinal (LS) dimension of the storage areas (11, 12) is adjusted by folding at folding lines (selected from B11 to B13, B21 to B23) corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the product to be stored, and the product width (WS) dimension of the storage areas (11, 12) is adjusted by changing the folding direction (for example, a direction perpendicular to the backing sheet 1 and a direction inclined relative to the perpendicular direction) at folding lines (for example, B41, B42, B51, B52, B141, B142, B151, B152) corresponding to the width dimension of the product to be stored, so that the dimensions of the storage areas (11, 12) can be adjusted appropriately corresponding to the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the product. Therefore, even if the product has a variety of sizes, the dimensions of the storage area (11, 12) can be adjusted to match the product dimensions, so that the product can be securely fixed (stabilized) within the storage area (11, 12).

[0014] According to the present invention, stepped cutting lines (C11, C21, C31, C41, C51, C61, C12, C22, C32, C42, C52, C62, C111, C121, C131, C141, C151, C161, C112, C122, C132, C142, C152, C162) are formed, and the way the areas (Sg1 to Sg6) surrounded by the cutting lines (C) are folded is changed according to the size of the pouch to be stored, thereby enabling the pouch to be stably stored (fixed) in a plurality of product longitudinal direction (LS) dimensions. Regarding the size of the product width direction WS, even if the width dimension of the pouch is changed, the size of the gap in the product width direction WS (horizontal direction) in the storage section (11, 12) can be changed by folding the fixing parts of the areas (Sg7, Sg9, Sg11, Sg13) in a direction perpendicular to the backing sheet (1) or in a direction inclined relative to the direction perpendicular to the backing sheet (1), thereby making it possible to fix the pouch in the product width direction WS. Furthermore, if the cutting lines (C) and folding lines (B) are configured so that their relative positions with respect to the product-storing areas (storage sections 11 and 12) are the same, the backing sheet (1) can be easily manufactured.

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the illustrated embodiment, the inner frame accommodates products of two different sizes, for example, two types of pouches, and two product storage sections (recesses, spaces) are formed in the inner frame. However, the number of product storage sections may be three or more, or may be one. In the description of the illustrated embodiments, cutting lines may be collectively represented by the symbol C. Similarly, folding lines may be collectively represented by the symbol B. Here, the storage sections 11 and 12 shown in Figure 1, which shows the illustrated embodiment, and the storage sections 11 and 12 shown in Figures 2 to 5 and 8 are arranged in reverse in the left-right direction (product width direction WS). In Fig. 1, inner frame 10 is housed inside box 100 (not shown in Fig. 1; see Fig. 9), and products (for example, cosmetic refill pouches) are securely and neatly housed inside box 100 via inner frame 10. In the illustrated embodiment, inner frame 10 is provided with two product storage sections 11 and 12 (sometimes simply referred to as "storage sections" in this specification) as areas for storing products. The inner frame 10 is manufactured by appropriately folding a single sheet of mount 1 (see Figs. 2 to 5 and 8) on which cutting lines C and folding lines B are formed. To avoid complication, the cutting lines C and folding lines B are omitted in Fig. 1. 1 shows the areas (Sg1 to Sg19) and folding directions (A2 to A18) surrounded by the cutting line C and the folding line B. These will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 and 8.

[0017] 2 to 5 and 8, the cutting lines C and folding lines B are arranged in the same manner in the storage sections 11 and 12. However, when the storage sections 11 and 12 are formed, as shown in Fig. 1, for example, the dimensions of the two storage sections 11 and 12 in the product longitudinal direction LS (the vertical direction in Figs. 2 to 5 and 8) and the product width direction WS (the horizontal direction in Figs. 2 to 5 and 8) are different, and the dimensions of the storage section 11 in the product longitudinal direction (LS) and product width direction (WS) are formed larger than those of the storage section 12. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the inner frame 10 produces the storage sections 11, 12 by separating the areas of the backing sheet 1 where the cutting line C is formed and folding along the folding line B. In the illustrated embodiment, the product width direction (WS) and product longitudinal direction (LS) dimensions of the storage sections 11, 12 in the inner frame 10 can be adjusted. In other words, the cutting line C and the folding line B are set and arranged on the backing sheet 1 so that the product longitudinal direction (LS) dimensions of the storage sections 11, 12 can be adjusted by folding along the folding line B corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the products to be stored, and the product width direction (WS) dimensions of the storage sections 11, 12 can be adjusted by changing the folding direction along the folding line B (for example, a direction perpendicular to the backing sheet 1 and a direction inclined relative to the perpendicular direction) corresponding to the width direction dimension of the products to be stored. Adjustment of the product width direction (WS) dimension and the product longitudinal direction (LS) dimension in the storage sections 11, 12 will be described later with reference to FIGS.

[0018] In this specification, in each of the storage sections 11 and 12, the area in which the bottom of the pouch product is stored may be referred to as the "bottom area 11BR, 12BR," and the area nearby in which the mouth of the pouch is stored may be referred to as the "mouth area 11MR, 12MR" (Figure 1). 2, which shows the state of the base sheet 1 before the inner frame 10 is assembled, the outer regions of the side edges SE, bottom edges BE, and mouth edges ME are folded (arrow A1) toward the side of the base sheet 1 away from the viewer (toward the back of the drawing) at the side edges SE, bottom edges BE, and mouth edges ME, respectively, when assembled to the inner frame 10. By folding the outer regions of the side edges SE, bottom edges BE, and mouth edges ME toward the side of the base sheet 1 away from the viewer, the planar dimensions of the inner frame 10 are reduced so that it can be contained in the box 100 (FIG. 9). The configuration of folding the side edges SE, bottom edges BE, and mouth edges ME toward the side of the base sheet 1 away from the viewer is common to all of FIGS. 2 to 5 and 8.

[0019] In FIG. 2, in the area on the bottom side edge BE side of the storage section 11 of the mount 1, cutting lines C11, C21, C31, C41, C51, C61 and cutting lines C12, C22, C32, C42, C52, C62 are formed. Here, the cutting lines C11 and C12 are formed from both ends of the product width direction (WS) of the bottom folding line B11, which is formed at a position close to the bottom side edge BE and extends parallel to the bottom side edge BE, and extend in the product longitudinal direction LS toward the mouth side (upper side of Figure 2) and in a direction inclined relative to the product longitudinal direction LS toward the center line CL11 of the storage section 11 (storage section center line CL11). The cutting line C21 extends from the mouth side end of the cutting line C11 in a direction parallel to the product width direction WS toward the storage section center line CL11, and the cutting line C22 extends from the mouth side end of the cutting line C12 in a direction parallel to the product width direction WS toward the storage section center line CL11.

[0020] The cutting lines C31 and C32 extend from the ends of the cutting lines C21 and C22 on the housing center line CL11 side in the product longitudinal direction LS toward the opening side (upper side in FIG. 2), respectively. The cutting lines C41 and C42 extend from the opening side end (upper end in FIG. 2) of the cutting lines C31 and C32, respectively, in a direction parallel to the product width direction WS toward the container center line CL11. The cutting lines C51 and C52 extend from the ends of the cutting lines C41 and C42 on the housing center line CL11 side toward the mouth side (upper side in FIG. 2) in the product longitudinal direction LS, respectively. The cutting lines C61 and C62 extend from the mouth-side ends of the cutting lines C51 and C52, respectively, in the product width direction WS and meet on the container center line CL11.

[0021] A fold line B12 is formed between the ends of the cutting lines C21 and C22 extending in the product width direction WS on the storage section center line CL11 side, and a fold line B13 is formed between the ends of the cutting lines C41 and C42 extending in the product width direction WS on the storage section center line CL11 side. As described above, the folding line B11 is formed parallel to the bottom edge BE between the ends of the cutting lines C11 and C12 on the bottom edge BE side. 1 and 2, the region or section surrounded by the bending lines B11 and B12 and the cutting lines C11, C12, C21, and C22 is indicated by the symbol Sg1. The region Sg1 is formed in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The region surrounded by the folding lines B12 and B13 and the cutting lines C31, C32, C41, and C42 is indicated by the symbol Sg2. The region Sg2 is formed in a rectangular shape with a large dimension in the product width direction (WS). The region surrounded by the folding line B13 and the cutting lines C51, C52, C61, and C62 is indicated by the symbol Sg3. The region Sg3 is formed in a rectangular shape with a large dimension in the product longitudinal direction (LS).

[0022] 2, the regions Sg1, Sg2, and Sg3 are configured so that the dimensions in the product width direction (WS) decrease toward the mouth side edge ME. In other words, the cutting lines C11, C21, C31, C41, C51, C61, C12, C22, C32, C42, C52, and C62 are set so that the dimensions in the product width direction (WS) of the regions Sg1, Sg2, and Sg3 surrounded by the cutting lines and folding lines B11, B12, and B13 decrease toward the mouth side edge ME. A step (shoulder) is formed at the boundary between region Sg1 and region Sg2, and this step is defined by cutting lines C21 and C22. A step (shoulder) is also formed at the boundary between region Sg2 and region Sg3, and this step is defined by cutting lines C41 and C42. Here, the shape and size of areas Sg1, Sg2, Sg3, the dimensions of cutting lines C11, C21, C31, C41, C51, C61, C12, C22, C32, C42, C52, C62 and folding lines B11, B12, B13 are set on a case-by-case basis depending on the dimensions of the pouches to be stored in storage sections 1 and 2 and the size of the backing paper itself.

[0023] In Figures 1 and 2, when manufacturing the inner frame 10 shown in Figure 1 from the base sheet 1, to form the bottom of the storage section 11, the area Sg1 is folded along the folding line B11 toward the back side of the paper (the side farther from the viewer), in the direction of the arrow A2, so that it is perpendicular to the surface of the base sheet 1 in Figure 2. Region Sg2, which is connected to region Sg1 that is folded perpendicular to the surface of the backing sheet 1, is folded at folding line B12 in the direction of arrow A3 so as to be parallel to the surface of the backing sheet 1 in Figure 2. As a result, region Sg2 extends parallel to the surface of the backing sheet 1 from the end of region Sg1 toward the opening side edge ME. The region Sg3 connected to the region Sg2 is not folded at the folding line B13, and extends toward the mouth side edge ME in a state parallel to the plane of the mount 1 in FIG. 2, similar to the region Sg2. By performing the above-described bending operation on the bending lines B11, B12, and B13, it is possible to form a storage section 11 with a large product longitudinal direction LS. This bending operation constitutes a process of adjusting the size of the storage section 11 in the product longitudinal direction LS by selecting and bending the bending line that corresponds to the longitudinal dimension of the product to be stored.

[0024] Next, the storage section 12 for storing small-sized products (pouches) will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 3, the arrangement and dimensions of the cutting line C and the folding line B in the storage section 12 are the same as the arrangement and dimensions of the cutting line and the folding line in the storage section 11 described above with reference to FIG. To avoid confusion, the cutting line C and the folding line B in the storage section 11 are denoted by different symbols than the cutting line C and the folding line B in the storage section 12.

[0025] In the storage section 12 of Figure 3, cutting lines C111, C121, C131, C141, C151, C161, C112, C122, C132, C142, C152, C162 and folding lines B21, B22, B23 are formed, and the dimensions and arrangement of these are similar to the dimensions and arrangement of the cutting lines C11, C21, C31, C41, C51, C61, C12, C22, C32, C42, C52, C62 and folding lines B11, B12, B13 in the storage section 11 of Figure 2, respectively. That is, the cutting lines C and folding lines B are formed with the same dimensions and arrangement in each of the storage sections 11 and 12. Therefore, a detailed description of the arrangement and specifications (start and end positions, extension direction, etc.) of the cutting lines C111, C121, C131, C141, C151, C161, C112, C122, C132, C142, C152, and C162 and folding lines B21, B22, and B23 that constitute the storage section 12 will be omitted.

[0026] In Figure 3, the area surrounded by bending lines B21 and B22 and cutting lines C111, C112, C121, and C122 is indicated by symbol Sg4, the area surrounded by bending lines B22 and B23 and cutting lines C131, C132, C141, and C142 is indicated by symbol Sg5, and the area surrounded by bending line B23 and cutting lines C151, C152, C161, and C162 is indicated by symbol Sg6. Here, the cutting lines C161 and C162 extend from the mouth-side ends of the cutting lines C151 and C152, respectively, in the product width direction WS and meet on the center line CL12 of the storage section 12. In the storage sections 11 and 12, the cutting lines C and folding lines B are formed with the same dimensions and arrangement, so that the areas Sg1, Sg2, and Sg3 in the storage section 11 and the areas Sg4, Sg5, and Sg6 in the storage section 12 have the same size (area) and arrangement in the storage sections 11 and 12.

[0027] 3 and 1, when manufacturing the inner frame 10 shown in FIG. 1 from the mount 1, the method of folding along the folding lines to form the storage section 12 is different from that for the storage section 11 as follows. In the storage section 11 described in FIG. 2, the region Sg1 is folded along the folding line B11 toward the back side of the surface of the mount 1 in FIG. 2 (the side farther from the viewer) so as to be perpendicular to the surface of the paper (in the direction of arrow A2). In contrast, in the storage unit 12 described in Fig. 3, the region Sg4 (of the storage unit 12 corresponding to the region Sg1 of the storage unit 11) is parallel to the surface of the mount 1 in Fig. 3, and the folding line B21 is not folded. However, the region Sg5 connected to the region Sg4 is folded (in the direction of the arrow A4) toward the back side of the mount 1 in Fig. 3 (the side farther from the viewer) so as to be perpendicular to the surface of the mount 1 in Fig. 3. Furthermore, region Sg6 connected to region Sg5 is folded at folding line B23 so as to be perpendicular to region Sg5 (arrow A5), and extends parallel to the surface of mount 1 from the end of region Sg5 toward bottom edge BE. By performing such a bending operation, it is possible to form a storage section 12 having a small dimension in the product longitudinal direction LS. This bending operation constitutes a process of adjusting the dimension of the storage section 12 in the product longitudinal direction LS by selecting and bending the folding line that corresponds to the dimension of the product to be stored in the product longitudinal direction LS.

[0028] In the storage section 11 shown in Figure 2, the length dimension in the longitudinal direction LS of the product from the region Sg1, which is folded so as to be perpendicular to the surface of the backing sheet 1 in Figure 2, to the mouth side region is longer than the length dimension in the longitudinal direction LS of the region Sg4 of the storage section 12 in Figure 3, compared to the length dimension in the longitudinal direction LS of the product from the region Sg5, which is folded so as to be perpendicular to the surface of the backing sheet 1 in Figure 3, to the mouth side region. 2 at folding line B11 at the bottom of storage section 11 toward the side away from the viewer in Fig. 2 (folding in the direction of arrow A2) or at folding line B22 (see Fig. 3) at the bottom of storage section 12 (folding in the direction of arrow A4), the dimensions of the product in the longitudinal direction LS of storage sections 11, 12 can be adjusted corresponding to the dimensions of the product in the longitudinal direction LS. In other words, by forming stepped cutting lines C in mount 1 and appropriately selecting the way to fold areas Sg1 to Sg6 surrounded by cutting lines C corresponding to the size of the pouch to be stored, multiple types of pouches with different dimensions in the longitudinal direction LS of the product can be stably stored (fixed) in multiple storage sections 11, 12.

[0029] In Figure 3, a fold line BN1 is formed in region Sg6, and regions Sg4, Sg5 and the region of region Sg6 closer to the bottom edge BE than the fold line BN1 are made parallel to the backing 1 in Figure 3. Region Sg6 is then folded at the fold line BN1 in a direction away from the viewer in Figure 3, and the region closer to the mouth edge ME than the fold line BN1 is made perpendicular to the backing 1 in Figure 3, thereby making it possible to further shorten the longitudinal dimension of the storage section 12.

[0030] 2 to 5 and 8, the inner frame 10 according to the illustrated embodiment is formed by forming cut lines and fold lines on a sheet of base paper 1 (developed view), cutting out the sheet of base paper 1, and folding it, and no part of the base paper 1 is cut out and discarded when forming the inner frame 10. Therefore, the environment is prevented from being polluted by discarded parts of the base paper 1. Furthermore, since this can be achieved by simply forming cutting lines and folding lines on one piece of mount 1, it can be manufactured easily and at low cost.

[0031] Next, a mode in which the widthwise dimensions of the containing sections 11 and 12 of the same size are adjusted in accordance with the widthwise dimension of the pouch (product) will be described. First, with reference to FIG. 4, the structure of the mechanism for adjusting the width dimension of the storage section 11 will be described. In Figure 4, a cutting line C101 is formed at a position close to the side edge SE (the right edge in Figure 4) of the backing sheet 1, extending parallel to the side edge SE, a cutting line CCL11 is formed at the widthwise center of the storage section 11 (the center line of the storage section 11), and a cutting line C102 is formed at a position close to the storage section 12, extending parallel to the cutting lines C101 and CCL11.

[0032] At the end of the container 11 on the mouth edge ME side, a folding line BM1 connects both ends of the container 11 and extends parallel to the mouth edge ME, and cutting lines C71 and C72 extend obliquely from both ends of the folding line BM1 toward the widthwise center of the container 11 or toward the cutting line CCL11 with respect to the product longitudinal direction LS. Here, the cutting lines C71 and C72 do not reach the position of the cutting line CCL11. Cutting lines C81 and C82 extend from the ends of the cutting lines C71 and C72 on the bottom side edge BE side in parallel with the folding line BM1 toward the widthwise center of the storage section 11 or the cutting line CCL11, respectively. At an intermediate position (in the product longitudinal direction LS) between the cutting lines C81, C82 and the bending line BM1, a bending line BM2 extending from the cutting line C71 to the cutting line C72 extends parallel to the bending line BM1 and the cutting lines 81, 82.

[0033] Folding lines B41 and B42 are formed on both ends of the cutting line C101 in the product longitudinal direction LS, and the folding lines B41 and B42 reach the ends of the cutting lines C71 and C11, respectively.Furthermore, folding lines B51 and B52 are formed on both ends of the cutting line C102 in the product longitudinal direction LS, and the folding lines B51 and B52 reach the ends of the cutting lines C72 and C12, respectively. The bending line B61 extends between the junction of the cutting lines C71 and C81 and the junction of the cutting lines C31 and C41, and extends parallel to the cutting line C101. The bending line B62 extends between the junction of the cutting lines C72 and C82 and the junction of the cutting lines C32 and C42, and extends parallel to the cutting line C102.

[0034] The cutting line C101 is biased toward the cutting line CCL1 side relative to the folding lines B41 and B42 in the product width direction WS. Also, the cutting line C102 is biased toward the cutting line CCL1 side relative to the folding lines B51 and B52 in the product width direction WS. The effect of this configuration will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0035] The region surrounded by the cutting line C101, the bending line B41, the cutting line C71, the bending line B61, the cutting lines C31, C21, C11, and the bending line B42 is indicated by the symbol Sg7. The region Sg7 has a substantially trapezoidal shape. The area that is continuous with (connected to) area Sg7 and is surrounded by bending line B61 and cutting lines C81, CCL11, C61, C51, and C41 is designated by the symbol Sg8. Area Sg8 has a rectangular shape with a portion cut out, and its dimension in the product longitudinal direction LS is smaller than the dimension of area Sg7 in the product longitudinal direction LS.

[0036] The area surrounded by the cutting line C102, the bending line B51, the cutting line C72, the bending line B62, the cutting lines C32, C22, C12, and the bending line B52 is indicated by the symbol Sg9. The area Sg9 has a roughly trapezoidal shape, and is symmetrical to the area Sg7 with respect to the central axis (cutting line CCL11) of the storage section 11. The area that is continuous with (connected to) area Sg9 and is surrounded by folding line B62 and cutting lines C82, CCL11, C62, C52, and C42 is designated by the symbol Sg10. Area Sg10 has a rectangular shape with a portion cut out, and its dimension in the product longitudinal direction LS is smaller than the dimension of area Sg9 in the product longitudinal direction LS. Area Sg10 is symmetrical to area Sg8 with respect to the central axis (cutting line CCL11) of the storage section 11.

[0037] 4 and 1, when manufacturing the inner frame 10 from the mount 1, the storage section 11 is formed by folding the region Sg7 from the folding lines B41 and B42 in the direction of the arrow A6 (in FIG. 4, the direction away from the viewer). Similarly, the region Sg9 is folded from the folding lines B51 and B52 in the direction of the arrow A8 (in FIG. 4, the direction away from the viewer). The region Sg9 bent in the direction of arrow A8 is bent perpendicular to the mount in Fig. 4. Although not explicitly shown in Fig. 1, the region Sg7 is also bent perpendicular to the mount in Fig. 4.

[0038] In Fig. 4, region Sg8 is bent at folding line B61 relative to region Sg7 in the direction of arrow A7 (the side closer to the viewer in Fig. 4) so ​​as to extend parallel to the plane of Fig. 4. Similarly, region Sg10 is bent at folding line B62 relative to region Sg9 in the direction of arrow A9 (the side closer to the viewer in Fig. 4) so ​​as to extend parallel to the plane of Fig. 4. 4, it is possible to form a storage section 11 (an area for storing products) having a large dimension in the product width direction WS. This folding process constitutes a process of adjusting the dimension of the storage section 11 in the product width direction (WS) by adjusting the folding direction at the folding lines in accordance with the width direction dimension of the products to be stored.

[0039] The storage section 12 for storing small-sized products (pouches) will be described with reference to FIGS. In Figure 5, the arrangement and dimensions of the cutting line C and folding line B for adjusting the width dimension of the storage section 12 to correspond to the width dimension of the product are the same as the arrangement and dimensions of the cutting line and folding line in the storage section 11 described in Figure 4. To avoid confusion, the cutting line C and the bending line B in the storage section 11 and the cutting line C and the bending line B in the storage section 12 are denoted by different symbols.

[0040] In Figure 5, cutting lines C103, C104, CCL12, C171, C172, C181, C182, C111, C121, C131, C141, C151, C161, C112, C122, C132, C142, C152, C162 and folding lines B141, B142, B151, B152, B161, B162, BM11, BM12 are formed in the storage section 12. The dimensions and arrangement of the above-mentioned cutting lines C and bending lines B in housing section 12 are the same as the dimensions and arrangement of cutting lines C101, C102, CCL11, C71, C72, C81, C82, C11, C21, C31, C41, C51, C61, C12, C22, C32, C42, C52, and C62 and bending lines B41, B42, B51, B52, B61, B62, BM1, and BM2 in housing section 11 in Fig. 4. That is, in each of housing sections 11 and 12, cutting lines C and bending lines B are formed with the same dimensions and arrangement. Therefore, detailed explanations of the arrangement and specifications (start and end positions, extension direction, etc.) of the cutting lines C103, C104, CCL12, C171, C172, C181, C182, C111, C121, C131, C141, C151, C161, C112, C122, C132, C142, C152, C162 and the bending lines B141, B142, B151, B152, B161, B162, BM11, BM12 that constitute the storage section 12 will be omitted.

[0041] In Figure 5, the area surrounded by cutting line C103, bending line B141, cutting line C171, bending line B161, cutting lines C131, C121, C111, and bending line B142 is indicated by symbol Sg11, and the area surrounded by bending line B161, cutting lines C181, CCL12, C161, C151, and C141 is indicated by symbol Sg12. In addition, the area surrounded by cutting line C104, bending line B151, cutting line C172, bending line B162, cutting lines C132, C122, C112, and bending line B152 is indicated by symbol Sg13, and the area surrounded by bending line B162, cutting lines C182, CCL12, C162, C152, and C142 is indicated by symbol Sg14. The sizes of the regions Sg11, Sg12, Sg13, and Sg14 in the housing portion 12 and their arrangement in the housing portions 11 and 12 are similar to those of the regions Sg7, Sg8, Sg9, and Sg10 in the housing portion 11.

[0042] 1 is manufactured from the base sheet 1 shown in Fig. 5, the bottom of the storage section 12 is formed by folding the region Sg11 from the folding lines B141 and B142 in the direction of the arrow A10 (in Fig. 5, a direction away from the viewer). Similarly, the region Sg13 is folded from the folding lines B151 and B152 in the direction of the arrow A12 (in Fig. 5, a direction away from the viewer). Unlike the case of storage section 11, in storage section 12, when region Sg11 is bent in the direction of arrow A10 from folding lines B141 and B142 and region Sg13 is bent in the direction of arrow A12 from folding lines B151 and B152, regions Sg11 and Sg13 are not bent perpendicular to base sheet 1 in Figure 5, but are bent so as to be inclined toward the center of the product width direction (WS) of storage section 12 or toward cutting line CCL12 (as shown by sections D-1 and E-1 in Figure 6) (with respect to an imaginary plane perpendicular to base sheet 1 in Figure 5). Then, at folding line B161, region Sg12 is folded relative to region Sg11 in the direction of arrow A11 (the side closer to the viewer in FIG. 5) and placed parallel to the plane of the paper in FIG. 5. Similarly, at folding line B162, region Sg14 is folded relative to region Sg13 in the direction of arrow A13 (the side closer to the viewer in FIG. 5) and placed parallel to the plane of the paper in FIG. As a result, the product width direction (WS) dimension of the storage section 12 shown in Fig. 5 can be adjusted to be smaller than the product width direction (WS) dimension of the storage section 11 shown in Fig. 4. This folding operation constitutes a process of adjusting the product width direction (WS) dimension of the storage section 12 by adjusting the folding direction at the folding line in accordance with the width direction dimension WS of the product to be stored. Whether the above-described bending operation can be performed to conform to the width direction dimension WS of the product will be described with reference to FIG.

[0043] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the principle of adjusting the width dimensions of the storage sections 11 and 12, with Figure 6(A) showing the width dimension of the storage section 11 and Figure 6(B) showing the width dimension of the storage section 12. Figures 6(A) and (B) are views of the storage sections 11 and 12 as seen from the bottom side edge BE (Figures 1 and 2), and the symbol F indicates the area (adjacent area) of the backing sheet 1 adjacent to the storage sections 11 and 12. In Fig. 6(A), segment D constituting region Sg7 and segment E constituting region Sg9 are each bent perpendicularly to adjacent region F. Regions Sg8 and Sg10 connected to regions Sg7 and Sg9 extend parallel to the surface of mount 1 (adjacent region F) and toward the center of storage section 11 (the center side of Fig. 6(A)). In the state of FIG. 6(A), the intervals between the slices DE in the storage section 11 are the widest, and the product P having a large dimension in the width direction WS can be stored.

[0044] 6(B), segment D-1 constituting region Sg11 and segment E-1 constituting region Sg13 are bent so as to extend in a direction inclined from the perpendicular direction, rather than perpendicular to adjacent region F. Regions Sg12 and Sg14 connected to regions Sg11 and Sg13 extend parallel to the surface of mount 1 (adjacent region F) and toward the center of storage section 12 (the center side of FIG. 6(B)). In the state shown in Fig. 6(B), the spacing between the pieces D-1 to E-1 in the storage section 12 is narrower than in the storage section 11 shown in Fig. 6(A), preventing gaps in the width direction even when storing a product P with a small width dimension. Furthermore, the inclined pieces D-1 and E-1 come into contact with the product edge, allowing for a wide range of product width (WS) dimensions. In other words, the storage section 12 can provide flexibility in the width (WS) dimension of the product P stored therein. As shown in Figures 6(A) and (B), regarding the size of the product width direction WS, even if the width dimension of the product (pouch) changes depending on whether the areas Sg7, Sg9, Sg11, and Sg13 are folded in a direction perpendicular to the backing sheet 1 or in a direction inclined relative to the direction perpendicular to the backing sheet 1, the gap dimension in the product width direction WS (horizontal direction) in the storage sections 11 and 12 can be changed, and multiple pouches with different dimensions in the product width direction WS can be fixed.

[0045] As described above with reference to Figure 4, in the storage section 11, the cutting line C101 is biased toward the center of the product width direction (WS) (toward the cutting line CCL11) relative to the folding lines B41 and B42, and the cutting line C102 is biased toward the center of the product width direction (WS) relative to the folding lines B51 and B52. Similarly, in the storage section 12 shown in Figure 5, the cutting line C103 is biased toward the center of the product width direction (WS) (toward the cutting line CCL12) relative to the folding lines B141 and B142, and the cutting line C104 is biased toward the center of the product width direction (WS) relative to the folding lines B151 and B152. The reason for this deviation will be explained with reference to Fig. 7. To avoid complication of the illustration, Fig. 7 shows only the deviation of the cutting line C101 and the bending line B41 (B42) in the housing portion 11.

[0046] In Fig. 7, a pouch P is stored in the storage section 11. In the side edge PA (the right edge in Fig. 7) of the pouch P, the region indicated by the symbol G is a region where the cutting line C101 is biased or protrudes toward the cutting line CCL1 (not shown) side (the left side in Fig. 7) from the folding line B41 (B42). As clearly shown in Fig. 7, region G has the function of holding down the side edge PA of the stored pouch P from above. That is, the above-mentioned bias is a structure that forms the area G and prevents the pouch P from popping out upward by the area G.

[0047] Next, the openings of the containers 11 and 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. As described above, the arrangement and dimensions of the cutting lines and folding lines of the storage section 11 and the storage section 12 are the same, and the opening storage section of the storage sections 11 and 12 also has the same structure. For the sake of simplicity, only the opening portion of the container 11 will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, the product accommodated in the inner frame 10 is a pouch, and the dimensions of the pouch's mouth are determined by a standard. Therefore, the mouth of the pouch can be appropriately accommodated in the mouth-accommodating portion of the accommodation portion. 8, in the area near the opening side edge ME of the storage section 11 of the mount 1, cutting lines C91, C92, C71, C72, C81, C82 and folding lines BM1, BM2, BM3, BM4 are formed. The cutting lines C71, C72, C81, and C82 and the bending lines BM1 and BM2 have been described with reference to FIG. 4, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted. The cutting lines C91 and C92 each extend from near the mouth side edge ME in the product longitudinal direction LS to the bending line BM2, and extend in a biased manner so as to bend toward the center line of the storage section (cutting line CCL11: see Figure 4) near the bending line BM1. The fold line BM3 extends near the mouth edge ME, connecting the ends of the cutting lines C91 and C92 on the mouth edge ME side. The fold line BM4 extends near the middle positions of the cutting lines C91 and C92 (positions on the mouth edge side that are bent toward the center line of the storage compartment).

[0048] 8, the region surrounded by the cutting lines C91 and C92 and the folding lines BM3 and BM4 is indicated by the symbol Sg15. The region Sg15 is formed in a rectangular shape with a small dimension in the product width direction (WS). The area surrounded by the cutting lines C91 and C92 and the bending lines BM4 and BM2 (strictly speaking, the portion where the bending line BM2 is interrupted in the middle of the bending line BM2) is indicated by the symbol Sg16. The area Sg16 is an area connected to the bottom side BE edge of the area Sg15, and is configured in a shape that combines a rectangular shape with a small dimension in the product width direction (WS) and a shape with a variable dimension in the product width direction (WS) (i.e., a trapezoidal shape). The region surrounded by the cutting lines C71 and C91 and the bending lines BM1 and BM2 is indicated by the reference symbol Sg17. The region Sg17 is formed in the shape of an asymmetric trapezoid. The area surrounded by the cutting lines C72 and C92 and the bending lines BM1 and BM2 is designated by the symbol Sg18. The area Sg18 is formed in an asymmetric trapezoidal shape. Here, the area Sg18 has a shape symmetrical to the area Sg17 with respect to the center line of the housing section (cutting line CCL11: see FIG. 4). The region surrounded by the cutting lines C71, C72, C81, and C82 and the bending line BM2 is indicated by the symbol Sg19. The region Sg19 is formed in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid.

[0049] When manufacturing the inner frame 10 shown in Figure 1 from the base sheet 1 shown in Figure 8, to form the mouth of the storage section 11, areas Sg17 and Sg18 are folded at the folding line BM1 in Figure 8 toward the back side of the paper (the side farther from the viewer) in the directions of arrows A14 and A15, respectively, so that they are perpendicular to the surface of the base sheet 1 in Figure 8. Then, region Sg19, which is connected to regions Sg17 and Sg18 folded perpendicular to the surface of mount 1 in Fig. 8, is folded at folding line BM2 in the direction of arrow A16 toward the front side of the surface (the side closest to the viewer) so as to be parallel to the surface of mount 1 in Fig. 8. As a result, region Sg19 extends from the ends of regions Sg17 and Sg18 toward bottom edge BE. Additionally, at folding line BM3, region Sg15 is folded toward the back side of the paper (the side farther from the viewer) in the direction of arrow A17 so as to be perpendicular to the surface of mount 1 in Fig. 8. Region Sg16, which is connected to region Sg15 folded so as to be perpendicular to the surface of mount 1 in Fig. 8, is folded at folding line BM4 toward the front side of the paper (the side closer to the viewer) in the direction of arrow A18 so as to be parallel to the surface of mount 1 in Fig. 8. As a result, region Sg16 extends from the end of region Sg15 toward bottom edge BE. By performing the above-described bending operation along the bending lines BM1, BM2, BM3, and BM4 shown in FIGS. 8 and 1, the opening receiving portion of the receiving portion 11 as shown in FIG. 1 can be formed.

[0050] FIG. 9 shows an example of a box body 100 (outer box) that houses the inner frame 10 according to the illustrated embodiment. However, the box 100 that houses the inner frame 10 according to the illustrated embodiment is not limited to the one shown in Fig. 9. Any box that can house the inner frame 10 described above is applicable. The developed view of box 100 in Figure 9 shows a main body 100A and a lid 100B of box 100. An inner frame 10 is housed in main body 100A, and housing sections 11 and 12 are formed in inner frame 10. In Figure 9, inner frame 10 and housing sections 11 and 12 are shown by virtual lines.
