Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a box body that can be displayed while products are stored therein. [Background Art]

[0002] A container that allows products stored inside a transport container to be displayed as they are without being taken out of the container is known as an FRM (Floor Ready Merchandise) container. As an example of such a container, Patent Document 1 discloses a container for storing a plurality of beverage cans. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2015-89833 [Summary of the Invention] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[0004] On the other hand, in a box-shaped FRM container that stores a plurality of products in an aligned state as in Patent Document 1, since the products are packed without gaps in the box, it is difficult to take out the products, and in particular, there is a problem that products located at the back of the box are difficult to take out. To simply facilitate taking out products, it is conceivable to enlarge the take-out opening, but this often increases management labor, such as making it difficult to maintain the strength of the box itself and protect the products inside.

[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a box body suitable for FRM, which allows easy taking out of the products stored therein even when a plurality of products are stored, and enables easy work and management. [Means for Solving the Problems]

[0006] The present invention, which solves the above problems, is a packaging box for storing multiple products, comprising a box body for storing the products in an aligned state, the box body having a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a side surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface, the side surface having a communication portion on at least one side that connects the inside and outside and allows products to be removed, the top surface includes a notch that is continuous with the communication portion and is cut in the direction of the notch, the width of the notch is provided to narrow as it moves away from the communication portion, and the distance from the end of the notch to the edge of the top surface opposite the notch is shorter than the length of the stored products in the direction of the notch. The design, in which the notch narrows as it moves away from the connecting section, allows for guidance of the hand position when reaching for an item at the back. Furthermore, because the length of the notch from the end to the end of the box is shorter than the width of the item, the corners of the item are exposed, making it easier to grip and hold. In addition, since at least the top surface and the item do not interfere with each other, handling and management are also made easier. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The present invention, which solves the above problems, provides a box suitable for FRM (Free Shipping and Management) that allows for easy removal of products from the contents, even when multiple products are stored inside, and facilitates work and management.

[0009] The following describes the box bodies according to each embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. The description will detail the configuration of the embodiment, the method of implementation, and the modifications thereto. The embodiments described below are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the term "abbreviated" in the application documents is a concept that includes shapes that have been chamfered or rounded, and shapes in which the elements constituting the shape have been deformed or altered in length to the extent that it does not impede the purpose or effect of the configuration.

[0010] 《First Embodiment》 As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention relates to a packaging box X for storing a plurality of products M, comprising a box body 1 for storing the products M in an aligned state, the box body 1 having a top surface 11, a bottom surface 12 opposite the top surface 11, and a side surface 13 provided between the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 12, the side surface 13 having at least a part of a communication portion 131 that connects the inside and outside and allows the products to be removed, the top surface 11 includes a notched portion 111 that is continuous with the communication portion 131 and is cut in the direction of the cut, the notched portion 111 is provided such that the width of the cut narrows as it moves away from the communication portion 131, and the distance from the end of the notched portion 111 to the end edge of the top surface 11 opposite the notched portion 111 is shorter than the length of the stored products M in the direction of the cut. Hereinafter, the state in which the main box 1 is stored in the outer box 2 will be referred to as the transport state, and the state in which the main box 1 has been removed from the outer box 2 and product M is displayed will be referred to as the display state. Here, Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the main box 1 and the outer box 2, and the outer box 2, which is in transport mode, can be moved in the direction of the arrow to change it to the display mode. Also, Figure 2(a) shows the main box X in transport mode, and Figure 2(b) shows the main box 1 and the product M inside in the display mode. In this specification, orientations are as shown in the drawings. Specifically, when viewed from the center of the box, which is roughly a rectangular parallelepiped, the direction in which the user takes out the product through the connecting part is the front direction, the direction opposite to the front direction is the rear direction, the direction in which the bottom surface is provided and the direction of gravity when installed is the downward direction, and the direction in which the top surface is provided and the direction opposite to the downward direction is the upward direction. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the vertical and horizontal directions is the left-right direction.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the box body X comprises a box body 1, which is a box for storing the product M, and an outer box 2 that houses the box body 1 inside. The box body 1 is a box body that has pre-made connecting parts 131 and cutouts 111 so that it can be displayed without any separation work. In addition, the outer box 2 covers the entire top surface 11 and sides 13 of the box body 1 during transport, preventing the product from falling out from the connecting parts 131 and preventing deformation of the shape of the box body 1. The outer box 2 has a surface area that is at least larger than the box body 1 and can be used as a stand on which the box body 1 is placed when the box body 1 is displayed.

[0012] In this embodiment, product M is stored in a box-shaped container with individual packaging, as shown in Figure 2(b). Inside the box body 1, multiple product Ms are stored side by side in the front-to-back direction and further stacked in the vertical direction, allowing a large number of products to be displayed simultaneously. In addition, the length of the product M in the stored state in the left-to-right direction is equal to the distance between the inner sides 13 of the box body 1 located in the left-to-right direction. With these configurations, multiple product Ms are aligned and stored without gaps inside the box body 1. Preferably, the product Ms are tightly packed by wrap-around packaging so that they do not vibrate inside the box body X even when stored in the outer box 2.

[0013] The box body 1 is located at an upper portion of the box body 1 when displayed, and comprises a top surface portion 11 facing upward, a bottom surface portion 12 disposed opposite to the top surface portion 11 and located at a lower portion when viewed from the center, and side portions 13 disposed between the top surface portion 11 and the bottom surface portion 12 and located in the front-rear and left-right directions. The box body 1 further comprises an upright portion 14 erected from the bottom surface portion 12 for holding a part of a product M, and a grip 15 provided on the side portion 13, which is a handle for the box body 1.

[0014] Further, in the embodiment, the box body 1 is a corrugated cardboard with flaps having a plurality of score lines that can be developed as shown in Fig. 3. The box body 1 is a flat plate provided with a plurality of score lines arranged in parallel, and comprises: a body portion 1A that is bent into a cylindrical shape; a joint margin 1B that connects both ends of the body portion 1A; and a plurality of flap portions 1C protruding from one side of the body portion 1A and overlapping each other to form a surface when the body portion 1A is in a cylindrical state. The box body 1 is provided such that the flap portions 1C serve as a rear surface in a display state and a transportation state.

[0015] The outer box 2 is a box with an open bottom surface, and an inner shape of the outer box 2 substantially matches an outer shape of the box body 1, so that the outer box 2 is fitted with the box body 1. The outer box 2 comprises: an outer box top surface portion 21 overlapping the top surface portion 11 during transportation; an outer box communication portion 22 opposite to the outer box top surface portion 21 and communicating the inside and the outside; and an outer box side portion 23 overlapping the side portion 13. With this arrangement, the box body 1 and the product M are enclosed in a region other than the bottom surface, so that the strength of the entire box body X in a transportation state and the protection performance for the product M are improved.

[0016] The top surface portion 11 is a surface facing upward in a display state, and constitutes a part of the body portion 1A. A notch portion 111 is formed on the top surface portion 11, the notch portion 111 being a notch that is continuous with the communication portion 131 and integrally communicates the inside and the outside of the box body 1.

[0017] On the inner surface of the top surface portion 11, the joint margin 1B is joined, so that the body portion 1A is formed into a cylindrical shape. Here, the joint margin 1B has a substantially rectangular shape, its long sides are provided parallel to the cutting direction described later, and the top surface portion 11 is a part of the body portion 1A with a smooth inner surface, which enables smooth taking-out of the product M along the cutting direction. In the embodiment, the joining of the joint margin 1B is performed by adhesion, but it may be joined by staples or other means.

[0018] The cut portion 111 is a portion cut from the communication portion 131 side (front side) around a cutting axis A extending in the cutting direction. In the cut portion 111, the end of the cutting axis A is defined as a cut end 112. The cutting axis A is provided parallel to the front-rear direction and extends at approximately the center of the top surface portion 11. The cut portion 111 is provided symmetrically left and right in a plan view with the cutting axis A as the axis, and is provided such that the distance in the left-right direction from the cutting axis A becomes narrower as it goes away from the communication portion 131. This guides a hand inserted into the cut portion 111 to the center of the product M, making it easy to take out the product M.

[0019] The shape of the cut portion 111 as a whole is similar to a parabola, and includes linear portions that are inclined with respect to the shared edge of the top surface portion 11 and the side portion 13 and provided linearly. These linear portions are provided symmetrically with respect to the cutting axis A, and the maximum distance in the left-right direction between these linear portions is set to be larger than at least 5 cm, so that a user's wrist can be inserted thereinto. Further, the ends of the linear portions are connected by an arc, and the cutting axis A passes through the center of the arc. This increases the strength and makes it easy to grasp the center of the product M and take it out. In addition, it is preferable that the cutting depth of the cut portion 111 is 50% or more of the entire cutting axis A to facilitate taking-out.

[0020] Furthermore, the distance from the notched end 112 to the rear side portion 13 (flap portion 1C) is shorter than the front-to-back length of the stored product M. In other words, the length from the notched end 112 to the adjacent side portion 13 on the notched axis A is shorter than the front-to-back length of the product M. As a result, the product M located at the furthest back and top is partially exposed on the top surface portion 11. This makes it easier to grasp the corners of the product M at the furthest back and top, improving ease of removal. The front end of the notched portion 111 is provided away from the side portion 13, protecting the corners of the top product M and improving the strength of the top surface to prevent deformation during transport. Preferably, the top surface portion 11 includes an edge perpendicular to the side portion 13 on the front side to improve the deformation suppression effect.

[0021] The bottom portion 12 is the surface that comes into contact with the ground, shelf, or outer box 2 when the product is displayed, and is part of the body portion 1A. As a result, the inner surface of the bottom portion 12 is made smooth, making it easy to smoothly remove the stored product M.

[0022] The side sections 13 are the parts located on the front, back, left, and right sides when viewed from the center of the box body 1 in the display state. The side sections 13 are located in the left-right direction and have left and right side sections 130 which are surfaces connecting the top section 11 and the bottom section 12, a communication section 131 which communicates with the interior at the front, and an upright section 14 which extends from the front edge of the bottom section 12 of the box body 1. The rear is closed by a flap section 1C.

[0023] The left and right side sections 130 are rectangular flat plates erected at the left and right ends of the box body 1, and constitute a part of the body section 1A. Furthermore, gripping handles 15, which are through holes, are provided at predetermined positions on the left and right side sections 130. The inside of the left and right side sections 130 is smooth, and the gripping handles 15 are through holes, making it easy to slide the product M forward and remove it.

[0024] The connecting section 131 is a gap on the front side of the box body 1 that connects the outside and inside, and is provided in the vertical direction from the top surface 11 to the upright section 14, and in the horizontal direction, it is provided across the entire left and right side sections 130. This makes it easy to pull the product M towards the front. The boundary between the connecting section 131 and the left and right side sections 130 includes an upright section 132 adjacent to the upright section 14, and an inclined section 133 that is provided from the upright section 132 to the top surface 11, inclined backward relative to the upright section 132.

[0025] The upright portion 132 is a boundary portion that extends perpendicularly to the bottom portion 12 at the front ends of the left and right side portions 130, and extends at least above the upright portion 14. This prevents gaps from forming between the upright portion 14 and the left and right side portions 130, even if the upright portion 14 is vertical, and also increases the strength of the box body X in transport condition and improves the storage performance of the product M.

[0026] The inclined portion 133 is the boundary at the front end of the left and right side portions 130, and is a portion that slopes linearly toward the rear. The inclination in the front-to-back direction relative to the vertical direction is about 10% to 20%, which allows more of the products inside to be visible when displayed, and also reduces friction when removing the box body 1 from the outer box 2, thereby improving usability.

[0027] The upright portion 14 prevents the unintended detachment of the product M by interfering with the product M located at the bottom. As shown in Figure 4, the upright portion 14 has an extending piece 141 extending from the bottom portion 12, an overlapping piece 142 overlapping with the extending piece 141, a folded portion 143 that is folded between the extending piece 141 and the overlapping piece 142, and an engaging portion 144 that engages with and holds the overlapping piece 142 and the bottom portion 12. Figure 4(a) shows the assembled box body 1 excluding the upright section 14, and Figure 4(b) shows the folded section 143 in a bent state.

[0028] The extension piece 141 is a roughly rectangular portion connected to the front end of the base portion 12 via a guide wire. The length of the extension piece 141 in the left-right direction is approximately the same as the length of the front edge of the base portion 12, and its length in the vertical direction is shorter than the vertical length of the product M. In the display state, the extension piece 141 is folded vertically upwards toward the base portion 12.

[0029] The overlapping piece 142 is a portion of the extending piece 141 that is adjacent to the longer side and has substantially the same shape as the extending piece 141, and has a projection portion provided as an engaging portion 144 on the end side opposite to the extending piece 141. The overlapping piece 142 is connected to the extending piece 141 via a guide wire, and the overlapping piece 142 is folded inward into the box body 1. This guide wire is provided parallel to the box body 1 with a distance equal to the thickness of the box body 1, so that the folding portion 143 can be folded in between and overlapped with the extending piece 141.

[0030] The folding portion 143 is a plate piece that protrudes from the front lower end of the left and right side portions 130, and its vertical length is smaller than that of the extending piece 141, so that it can be folded and stored between the extending piece 141 and the overlapping piece 142. This increases the strength with which the left and right side portions 130 stand upright. Furthermore, the protruding height of the folded portion 143 is made approximately the same as the protruding height of the overlapping piece 142 relative to the bottom portion 12, thereby increasing the efficiency of the blank sheet.

[0031] The engaging portion 144 works in cooperation with the folded portion 143 to maintain the vertically upright position of the upright portion 14 by engaging the protruding portion of the overlapping piece 142 with the hole provided in the bottom portion 12. The hole in the bottom portion 12 is provided at a distance greater than the thickness of the box body 1 from the adjacent lines, so that the folding portion 143 can engage even when it is sandwiched between the extended piece 141 and the overlapping piece 142. This exposes the front side of the product M, making it easy to remove, and prevents unintended detachment.

[0032] The gripping handle 15 is a through-hole provided at a predetermined position on the left and right sides 130, as shown in Figure 5. This through-hole is formed to be L-shaped in a side view. This makes it easy to move the box body 1 when it is on display. More specifically, the gripping handle 15 is provided along the shaft, which has a long shaft portion 151 and a short shaft portion 152 connected to the long shaft portion 151. Figure 5(a) is a side view of the box body 1, and Figure 5(b) is an explanatory diagram showing the box body 1 being held in the hand.

[0033] The grip handle 15 is positioned in the upper and front area when the left and right sides 130 are viewed from the side and divided into four areas in the vertical and horizontal directions, assuming the left and right sides 130 are rectangles. Since the product M located in this area is picked up first, once a certain amount has been sold, users can easily carry it by inserting their fingers into the grip handle 15. Furthermore, when the product M is stored in the box body 1 after a certain amount has been sold, the center of gravity is located at the bottom and rear when viewed from the side, so the box body 1 can be easily carried while preventing the product M from falling out, even when the box body 1 is tilted. In this embodiment, the long axis portion 151 is positioned closer to the center of gravity than the connecting portion 131, enabling stable support.

[0034] The long axis portion 151 is approximately two to three times the length of the short axis portion 152. The long axis portion 151 is positioned at an angle to the bottom surface portion 12, and the angle between the long axis portion 151 and an imaginary line extending in the vertical direction is smaller than the angle between the long axis portion 151 and an imaginary line extending in the horizontal direction. This allows the user to easily place their index or middle finger on the grip 15 when holding the grip so that the shared edge between the flap portion 1C and the bottom surface portion 12 faces downwards, thereby improving handling. Furthermore, because the angle of the long axis portion 151 with respect to the inclined portion 133 is closer to parallel with the angle of the inclined portion 133 than with respect to the upright portion 132, or is approximately parallel to the angle of the inclined portion 133, it becomes easier to grip the product with the palm of the hand along the inclined portion 133.

[0035] The short shaft portion 152 is positioned at an angle to the base portion 12, and the angle between the short shaft portion 152 and an imaginary line extending in the vertical direction is smaller than the angle between the short shaft portion 152 and an imaginary line extending in the horizontal direction. This allows the user's ring finger and little finger to easily hook onto the grip 15 when the shared edge between the flap portion 1C and the base portion 12 is facing downwards, thereby improving handling.

[0036] The top surface 21 of the outer box, as shown in the unfolded view in Figure 6 and the assembly diagram in Figure 7, is the part that covers the top surface 11, and is formed by the folding of multiple flaps. This arrangement of multiple flaps increases the strength against stacking.

[0037] The outer box connecting section 22 is a part of the outer box 2 that connects to the bottom surface, and in the transport state, this section exposes the bottom surface 12 of the box body 1. By opening the entire bottom surface of the outer box 2 through the outer box connecting section 22, the transport state and display state of the box body X can be easily changed simply by moving the outer box 2 vertically relative to it.

[0038] The outer box side portion 23 is a portion that extends downward from each end edge of the outer box top portion 21, and forms a cylindrical portion by continuous sheet metal via a guide line. The outer box side portion 23 is also provided with an outer joint portion 2B corresponding to the joint portion 1B, and the longer side is provided parallel to the vertical direction, which facilitates the relative movement of the outer box 2 with respect to the box body 1. In addition, the outer box side portion 23 is provided with a handle notch 231 at the lower end, which serves as a handle.

[0039] The handle notches 231 are provided symmetrically on the surfaces of the outer box side portion 23 that overlap with the left and right sides 130 in the transport state. In this embodiment, the handle notches 231 are provided as trapezoidal notches extending from the lower end of the outer box side portion 23, exposing the left and right sides 130 inside. In addition, the thickness of the outer box 2 forms a step relative to the box body 1, allowing the outer box 2 to be lifted in the transport state. In this embodiment, the outer box side portion 23 is joined to the side portion 13 near the handle notch 231. The joining method is assumed to be either adhesive or tape. If joined with adhesive, the inside of the outer box side portion 23 and the outside of the side portion 13 are bonded together, joining at the top of the handle notch 231. This allows the box body 1 and the outer box 2 to be separated by pulling the box X in the left-right direction while in transport. This facilitates the opening process. If joined with tape, the tape joins the outside of the side portion 13 and the outside of the outer box side portion 23, spanning the top edge of the handle notch 231. This allows the tape to be easily peeled off starting from the handle notch 231.

[0040] The method of carrying out the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The present invention is carried out by a seller who changes the box X from a transport state to a display state and by a user who takes out the product M from the box body 1. Furthermore, the method of carrying out the invention shown below is just one example, and the method of carrying out the invention is not limited to this, and the order may be different.

[0041] First, the seller moves the box body X, which is in transport condition, to the desired display location. Next, the seller grasps the handle notches 231 and pulls them from side to side to release the connection between the box body 1 and the outer box 2. Then, by lifting the outer box 2 upwards, the entire box body 1 is removed and placed in the display position. At this time, the inclined section 133 allows for smooth lifting. Also, at this time, the display height can be adjusted by placing the box body 1 on the top surface 21 of the outer box.

[0042] Next, the user removes the product M stored in the box body 1 via the connecting section 131. Here, the inclined section 133 makes it easy to remove the product M located at the front. When removing the product M at the back, the user inserts their wrist into the notch 111, grasps the product, and slides it in the forward and backward direction to remove the product M. At this time, the uppermost product M is exposed to the outside through the notch 111, making it easier for the user to grasp the product M, and the notch 111 narrows towards the back, guiding the user to grasp the product M at its predetermined position and slide it forward to remove it. Furthermore, the top section 11, bottom section 12, and left and right side sections 130 constitute the body section 1A, resulting in a smooth interior and improved sliding performance. In addition, the upright section 14 interferes with the product M, preventing other products M from unintentionally falling out due to friction when removing product M.

[0043] When a seller moves the display box body 1, they do so using the handle 15. The handle 15 is provided along the long axis portion 151 and the short axis portion 152, making it easy for the seller to move the box using the handle 15.

[0044] When changing the size of the box body 1, the angle of inclination of the straight portion of the cut-out section 111 and the distance from the left and right ends of the top surface 11 may be changed, as shown in Figure 8. This allows the effectiveness of the cut-out section 111 to be maintained while preserving its performance.

[0045] Furthermore, the box body 1 comprises a body section 1A which is a series of continuous surfaces, and a flap section 1C which is provided adjacent to the body section 1A and which forms a surface when multiple sections are combined. The body section 1A has a top surface 11, a bottom surface 12, and a joint 1C which connects the ends of the body section 1A. The joint 1C has an end that extends parallel to the cutting direction (the direction of the cutting axis A), which allows the product M stored inside to slide smoothly, improving usability.

[0046] Furthermore, the side portion 13 has an upright portion 14 adjacent to the communication portion 131 and rising from the bottom portion 12. The height of the upright portion 14 is lower than the height of the product M, thereby preventing the product M from unintentionally falling off.

[0047] Furthermore, the connecting portion 131 has an inclined portion 133 that is inclined relative to the bottom portion 12 on the surface on which the connecting portion 131 is provided, thereby making the products M inside more visible and improving the appearance when displayed.

[0048] Furthermore, the side portion 13 is provided with a grip 15 for the user to grasp. The grip 15 is provided along the axis, and the axis has a long axis portion 151 and a short axis portion 152 that is connected to the long axis portion 151 and is shorter than the long axis portion 151. The ends of the long axis portion 151 and the short axis portion 152 are connected at an angle, making it easy to hold even when displayed.

[0049] Furthermore, the long shaft portion 151 and the short shaft portion 152 are provided at an angle to the base portion 12, and the inclination angle of the long shaft portion 151 with respect to the base portion 12 is greater than the inclination angle of the short shaft portion 152 with respect to the base portion 12, resulting in a grip 15 that is easier to grip. Furthermore, the gripping handle 15 is positioned so that it is biased toward the top surface 11 side when viewed from the center of the side portion 13 on which the gripping handle 15 is provided, and also biased toward the communication portion 131 side. This makes it easier to stabilize the center of gravity even when the box body 1 is tilted and gripped, and in combination with the tilted portion 133, it makes it easier to hold without interfering with the body.

[0050] Furthermore, since the box body 1 is covered by an outer box 2 with an open bottom 12, it is easy to hold the stored goods even during transport.

[0051] The outer box 2 may have air vents at predetermined positions on the top surface 21 or the side surface 23 of the outer box. This prevents the inside of the outer box 2 from becoming depressurized during transport, making it difficult to remove from the box body 1. By placing these holes in positions that overlap with the connecting portion 131 or the notch 111 of the side surface 23 of the box body, it is easier to suppress the depressurization inside when the outer box 23 is pulled out. Alternatively, by placing them in positions away from the connecting portion 131 or the notch 111, it is easier to prevent soiling of the product M.
