[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-175557 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The above-mentioned conventional hexagonal packaging box has a structure that is premised on being assembled using a box-making machine, and therefore has a problem in that it is difficult to assemble the body part by hand.

[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and makes it easy to manually form the body into a hexagonal cylindrical shape. Ibu The objective of the present invention is to provide a rank sheet, box materials, and a method for assembling a packaging box. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] Used in the present invention packaging box teeth, The container is provided with a hexagonal tubular body having front and rear end walls, left and right side walls, and two inclined walls formed between the adjacent end walls and side walls, and a lid provided at an opening of the body. The two inclined walls are arranged at diagonal positions of the body. The lid includes front and rear end flaps respectively connected to one of the upper and lower edges of the end walls, and left and right side flaps respectively connected to one of the upper and lower edges of the both side walls. The end flaps are superimposed on the outer surfaces of the both side flaps. Front and rear connecting holes are formed in the side flaps. Left and right insertion pieces and a protruding piece arranged between the two insertion pieces are formed at the tip of the end flap. The insertion pieces are inserted into the connecting holes, and the protruding pieces are superimposed on the outer surfaces of the both side flaps. The two connecting holes arranged left and right are arranged at the same position in the front and rear direction at the end of the center side of the side flaps in the front and rear direction.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, first The present invention relates to a blank sheet for forming the packaging box, the blank sheet comprising the end walls and the side wall The inclined wall and the side flap are arranged in a horizontal direction, and the side wall and the side flap are arranged in a vertical direction. In the side flap, of the two connecting holes arranged horizontally, the connecting hole on the opposite side to the inclined wall side is arranged closer to the horizontal center of the side flap than the connecting hole on the inclined wall side.

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, second The present invention is a box material for forming the packaging box, and the body has the end wall and the inclined wall arranged flat. In the side flap, of the two connecting holes arranged side by side, the connecting hole on the inclined wall side is located forward. The connecting hole on the opposite side to the inclined wall is disposed closer to the center in the lateral direction of the side flap.

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, third The present invention is a method for assembling the packaging box, When the end wall of the body and the inclined wall are arranged flat, of the two connecting holes arranged side by side in the side flap, the connecting hole on the opposite side to the inclined wall is positioned closer to the lateral center of the side flap than the connecting hole on the inclined wall side. First, the end wall and the inclined wall are aligned flat, and the inclined wall and the side wall are folded at right angles, and the end wall and the side wall are folded at right angles to form the body into a rectangular tube. Next, the insertion piece of the end flap is inserted into the connecting hole of the side flap, and the insertion piece pushes the connecting hole toward the center in the front-rear direction of the side flap, thereby inclining the inclined wall with respect to the end wall, and forming the body into a hexagonal tube.

[0010] In the present invention, when assembling a hexagonal packaging box, first, the body is formed into a rectangular tube shape, and then, when the insertion piece of the end flap is inserted into the connecting hole of the side flap, the insertion piece pushes the connecting hole on the inclined wall side toward the center in the front-rear direction of the side flap. As a result, the side wall is pushed out together with the side flap, and the inclined wall is pulled by the side wall, so that the inclined wall is folded against the end wall, and the body is formed into a hexagonal tube shape. Therefore, in the present invention, the body can be easily formed into a hexagonal tube shape by hand.

[0011] In the blank sheet and box material described above, it is preferable to form a pressing portion that protrudes toward the opposite side of the horizontal center of the side flap at the edge of the connecting hole on the horizontal center side of the side flap. In this case, of the two connecting holes arranged in the horizontal direction in the side flap, the pressing portion of the connecting hole on the opposite side to the inclined wall side is positioned closer to the horizontal center of the side flap than the pressing portion of the connecting hole on the inclined wall side.

[0012] By doing this, when the packaging box is assembled, the clamping portions of the left and right connecting holes are positioned at the same or close positions in the front-to-back direction, and the left and right clamping portions press the tips of the end flaps evenly, thereby stabilizing the end flaps relative to the left and right side flaps. Effect of the Invention

[0013] The present invention NobuThe rank sheet, box material, and packaging box assembling method allow the box material to be delivered to the customer in a folded state, and the hexagonal packaging box to be easily assembled by hand. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0015] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the front, back, left and right directions are set for the convenience of describing the packaging box of this embodiment, and do not limit the configuration or usage state of the packaging box, blank sheet, and box materials.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the packaging box 1 of this embodiment comprises a hexagonal cylindrical body portion 10, an upper lid portion 20 provided at an upper opening of the body portion 10, and a lower lid portion 30 provided at a lower opening of the body portion 10.

[0017] The packaging box 1 of this embodiment is formed by mountain-folding or valley-folding a blank sheet S (see FIG. 3) cut out from a cardboard sheet at each fold line. The blank sheet S shown in FIG. 3 is arranged so that the inner side is visible. The fold lines of the blank sheet S are creases (pressed creases) formed by linearly pressing the surface of the blank sheet S. Note that the creases may be formed with intermittent cuts. In this way, it becomes easier to fold the blank sheet S at the fold lines. Alternatively, the folded line may be formed by forming a half-cut slit only on the surface of the sheet or a slit penetrating the sheet in an intermittent linear fashion.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 1, the body 10 has front and rear end walls 11, 11, left and right side walls 12, 12, and two inclined walls 15, 15 formed between adjacent end walls 11 and side walls 12. As shown in Fig. 7, both inclined walls 15, 15 are arranged at diagonal positions of the body 10. In this embodiment, both inclined walls 15, 15 are arranged at the left front and right rear of the body 10. Hexagonal openings are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the body 10.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 are formed in a rectangular shape, and the side wall 12 is disposed perpendicular to the end wall 11. The inclined wall 15 is formed in a strip shape along the side edges of the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 , and is inclined relative to the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 .

[0020] The inclined wall 15 is connected to the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 via a folding line. A strip-shaped joint piece 13 is connected to the right edge of the right rear inclined wall 15. This joint piece 13 is bonded to the inner surface of the right side wall 12 with an adhesive. The blank sheet S (see FIG. 3) is folded along each fold line, and the joining piece 13 is joined to the inner surface of the right side wall 12, thereby forming a tubular body portion 10 that is hexagonal in plan view.

[0021] The upper cover portion 20 is provided with front and rear first flaps 21, 21 connected to the upper edges of the front and rear end walls 11, 11, respectively, and left and right second flaps 22, 22 connected to the upper edges of the left and right side walls 12, 12, respectively. The first flap 21 is formed in a strip shape along the upper edge of the end wall 11. The second flap 22 is formed in a strip shape along the upper edge of the side wall 12. A rectangular opening is formed in the center of the upper cover portion 20.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2, the lower cover portion 30 has front and rear end flaps 31, 31 connected to the lower edges of the front and rear end walls 11, 11, respectively, and left and right side flaps 32, 32 connected to the lower edges of the left and right side walls 12, 12, respectively.

[0023] The left side flap 32 is connected to the lower edge of the left side wall 12 via a fold line, and the right side flap 32 is connected to the lower edge of the right side wall 12 via a fold line. 7, the left side flap 32 is disposed in the left half of the lower opening of the torso 10, and the right side flap 32 is disposed in the right half of the lower opening of the torso 10. The tip edges of the left and right side flaps 32, 32 are butted against each other in the center of the torso 10 in the left-right direction.

[0024] 4, a first connecting hole 50A and a second connecting hole 50B are formed side by side in the front-rear direction in the left side flap 32. The first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B are disposed at an interval in the front-rear direction.

[0025] The first connecting hole 50A of the left side flap 32 (front left first connecting hole 50A) is formed in the front part of the left side flap 32 and extends from the left edge of the side flap 32 toward the right. A retaining portion 51 is formed on the left side of the rear edge of the first connecting hole 50A on the left front (the edge toward the center in the fore-and-aft direction of the side flap 32) and protrudes forward (the opposite side of the center in the fore-and-aft direction of the side flap 32).

[0026] A recess 52 recessed toward the rear (toward the center in the front-rear direction of the side flap 32) is formed in the right part of the rear edge of the left front first connecting hole 50A. The recess 52 is formed in a triangular shape in a plan view so that its width in the left-right direction decreases toward the rear.

[0027] The left front first connecting hole 50A is covered with a cover plate 53 except for its left end. The right edge of the cover plate 53 is connected to the right edge of the left front first connecting hole 50A via a fold line, and the front and rear edges of the cover plate 53 are connected to the front and rear edges of the left front first connecting hole 50A via slits, respectively.

[0028] The second connecting hole 50B of the left side flap 32 (rear-left second connecting hole 50B) is formed in the rear of the left side flap 32. The rear-left second connecting hole 50B has a shape symmetrical in the front-rear direction with respect to the front-left first connecting hole 50A, but the front-rear width of each part of the rear-left second connecting hole 50B is formed larger than the front-rear width of each part of the front-left first connecting hole 50A. A retaining portion 51 that protrudes toward the rear is formed on the left part of the front edge of the left rear second connecting hole 50B. A recessed portion 52 that is recessed toward the front (the center side in the front-rear direction of the side flap 32) is formed on the right part of the rear edge of the left rear second connecting hole 50B. The left rear second connecting hole 50B is closed by a cover plate 53 except for its left end portion.

[0029] The right side flap 32 also has a first connecting hole 50A and a second connecting hole 50B formed in the front and rear. The first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B of the right side flap 32 are formed point-symmetrically with the first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B of the left side flap 32. That is, in the right side flap 32, the second connecting hole 50B is located in the front, and the first connecting hole 50A is located in the rear.

[0030] 7, in the assembled state of the packaging box 1, the bottom of the recess 52 of the first front-left connection hole 50A (the end portion on the center side in the front-rear direction of the side flap 32) and the bottom of the recess 52 of the second front-right connection hole 50B are disposed at the same position in the front-rear direction (dotted line L1 in FIG. 7). Also, the bottom of the recess 52 of the first rear-left connection hole 50A (the end portion on the center side in the front-rear direction of the side flap 32) and the bottom of the recess 52 of the second rear-right connection hole 50B are disposed at the same position in the front-rear direction (dotted line L2 in FIG. 7).

[0031] 2, the front end flap 31 is connected to the lower edge of the front end wall 11 via a fold line. The front end flap 31 is overlapped on the outer surfaces (lower surfaces) of the front parts of the left and right side flaps 32, 32. The end flap 31 also has a beveled edge formed along the lower edge of the inclined wall 15 (see FIG. 7). Further, a fold line L10 extending in the left-right direction is formed on the inner surface of the end flap 31. The fold line L10 is formed across the left and right edges of the end flap 31 and is parallel to the base end edge of the end flap 31 (the lower edge of the end wall 11) (see FIG. 7).

[0032] As shown in FIG. 4, the tip of the end flap 31 is formed with two insertion pieces 61, 61 on the left and right sides, and a protruding piece 62 disposed between the insertion pieces 61, 61. Two left and right engagement recesses 63, 63 are formed on the leading edge of the end flap 31. A protruding piece 62 is formed between the two engagement recesses 63. In addition, a left insertion piece 61 is formed to the left of the left engagement recess 63, and a right insertion piece 61 is formed to the right of the right engagement recess 63.

[0033] The leading edge portions of both insertion pieces 61, 61 and the leading edge portion of the protruding piece 62 are parallel to the lower edge portion of the end wall 11. The leading edge portions of both insertion pieces 61, 61 and the leading edge portion of the protruding piece 62 are aligned in a straight line in the left-right direction.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 7, the left insertion piece 61 of the front end flap 31 is inserted from the outside into the first connecting hole 50A of the left side flap 32. The cover plate 53 is pressed inward by the insertion piece 61. The insertion piece 61 is overlapped on the inner surface of the pressing portion 51. The insertion piece 61 is pressed down from the inside and outside by the cover plate 53 and the pressing portion 51.

[0035] Additionally, the left engaging recess 63 of the front end flap 31 is hooked onto the bottom of the recess 52 of the first connecting hole 50A of the left side flap 32. In this manner, the tip of the end flap 31 is engaged with the first connecting hole 50A.

[0036] The right insertion piece 61 of the front end flap 31 is inserted from the outside into the second connecting hole 50B at the right front of the right side flap 32. The right insertion piece 61, like the left insertion piece 61, is held down from the inside and outside by the cover plate 53 and the holding portion 51. In addition, the tip of the end flap 31 is engaged with the second connecting hole 50B.

[0037] The protruding piece 62 of the front end flap 31 is overlapped with the front parts of the outer surfaces (lower surfaces) of both side flaps 32, 32, straddling the butt joints of the left and right side flaps 32, 32 (see FIG. 2).

[0038] The rear end flap 31 is connected to the lower edge portion of the rear end wall 11. The rear end flap 31 is formed symmetrically with respect to the front end flap 31. The left insertion piece 61 of the rear end flap 31 is inserted into the second connecting hole 50B of the left side flap 32. The right insertion piece 61 of the rear end flap 31 is inserted into the first connecting hole 50A of the right side flap 32. The protruding piece 62 of the rear end flap 31 is overlapped with the rear parts of the outer surfaces (lower surfaces) of the side flaps 32, 32 (see FIG. 2).

[0039] As shown in Fig. 3, in the blank sheet S for forming the packaging box 1 of this embodiment, the end wall 11, the side wall 12, and the inclined wall 15 are arranged in the horizontal direction (the left-right direction in Fig. 3). In addition, in the blank sheet S, the first flap 21, the end wall 11, and the end flap 31 are arranged in the vertical direction (the up-down direction in Fig. 3). In addition, in the blank sheet S, the second flap 22, the side wall 12, and the side flap 32 are arranged in the vertical direction.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4, the box material 2 for forming the packaging box 1 of this embodiment is formed by joining a joining piece 13 to the inner surface of the side wall 12 of a blank sheet S (see Figure 3) to form the body 10, and the top cover portion 20 (see Figure 1) and the bottom cover portion 30 are in an unassembled state. The box material 2 is delivered to a customer in a flat state by folding the body 10 with the end walls 11 and the inclined walls 15 arranged flat. When folding the body 10 , it may be folded at the fold line between the inclined wall 15 and the side wall 12 , or it may be folded at the fold line between the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 .

[0041] In the blank sheet S shown in Figure 3 and the side flap 32 of the box material 2 (see Figure 4), the second connecting hole 50B on the opposite side to the inclined wall 15 side is positioned closer to the center in the lateral (longitudinal) direction of the side flap 32 than the first connecting hole 50A on the inclined wall 15 side. In other words, in the side flap 32, the central end portion of the second connecting hole 50B (the bottom of the recessed portion 52) is closer to the lateral (longitudinal) center of the side flap 32 than the central end portion of the first connecting hole 50A (the bottom of the recessed portion 52). In the blank sheet S, the inclined wall 15 side of the side flap 32 is the side on which the inclined wall 15 will be disposed when the body portion 10 shown in FIG. 4 is formed.

[0042] In addition, in the side flap 32 of the blank sheet S and the box material 2 (see Figure 4), the clamping portion 51 of the second connecting hole 50B is positioned closer to the center in the lateral direction (longitudinal direction) of the side flap 32 than the clamping portion 51 of the first connecting hole 50A.

[0043] Next, a method for assembling the packaging box 1 of this embodiment will be described. First, the box material 2 is formed into a cylindrical shape from a folded state as shown in Fig. 4. At this time, with the end wall 11 and the inclined wall 15 arranged flat, the inclined wall 15 and the side wall 12 are bent at right angles, and the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 are also bent at right angles to form the body 10 into a rectangular cylindrical shape.

[0044] Moreover, the side flaps 32, 32 are folded inwardly of the body portion 10, and the side flaps 32, 32 are arranged side by side at the lower opening of the body portion 10. At this time, the tip edges of the side flaps 32, 32 are arranged with a gap between them.

[0045] 5, the end flap 31 is folded at the fold line L10 so as to form a mountain fold when viewed from the outside. This allows the left and right insertion pieces 61, 61 of the end flap 31 to be positioned closer to the base end than the first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B, which are aligned to the left and right.

[0046] Then, while stretching the end flap 31 flat, the left and right insertion pieces 61, 61 are inserted into the first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B, respectively, as shown in Fig. 6. In addition, the protruding piece 62 is overlapped on the outer surfaces of the side flaps 32, 32, straddling the butt joints of the side flaps 32, 32.

[0047] When both insertion pieces 61, 61 of the end flap 31 are inserted into the first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B, one of the insertion pieces 61 of the end flap 31 first abuts against the bottom of the recess 52 of the first connecting hole 50A on the inclined wall 15 side. At this time, the other insertion piece 61 of the end flap 31 does not abut against the bottom of the recess 52 of the second connecting hole 50B on the opposite side of the inclined wall 15 side.

[0048] In this state, when the tip of the end flap 31 is further pushed toward the center of the body 10 in the front-to-rear direction, one of the insertion pieces 61 pushes the first connecting hole 50A toward the center of the body 10 in the front-to-rear direction. As a result, the left side flap 32 is pushed backward (the side opposite the inclined wall 15 in the front-to-rear direction) by the tip of the front end flap 31. Also, the right side flap 32 is pushed forward (the side opposite the inclined wall 15 in the front-to-rear direction) by the tip of the rear end flap 31.

[0049] Additionally, the side wall 12 together with the side flap 32 is pushed out in the front-rear direction to the side opposite the inclined wall 15, so that the left and right side walls 12, 12 are misaligned in the front-rear direction. Then, the inclined wall 15 is pulled by the side wall 12 and bent relative to the end wall 11 , and is inclined relative to the end wall 11 and the side wall 12 .

[0050] 7, the tip of the end flap 31 is pushed toward the center in the front-rear direction of the body 10 until the engagement recess 63 of the end flap 31 engages with the bottom of the recess 52 of the second connecting hole 50B. This connects the side flaps 32, 32 and the end flap 31 to form the lower cover 30. At this time, the tip edges of the side flaps 32, 32 are butted against each other without any gaps. When the lower cover portion 30 is formed, the inclined wall 15 is inclined relative to the end wall 11 and the side wall 12, and the body portion 10 is formed into a hexagonal cylindrical shape. In this manner, the body portion 10 and the bottom lid portion 30 shown in Fig. 1 are formed to form the packaging box 1. Furthermore, after the contents are placed in the body portion 10, the top lid portion 20 is closed.

[0051] In the above-described packaging box 1, blank sheet S, box material 2, and method of assembling the packaging box 1, when assembling the hexagonal packaging box 1 shown in Fig. 1, first, the body 10 of the box material 2 is formed into a rectangular tubular shape as shown in Fig. 4. Next, when both insertion pieces 61, 61 of the end flap 31 are inserted into the first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B of the side flap 32, the first connecting hole 50A is pushed out by the insertion piece 61, and the inclined wall 15 is bent relative to the end wall 11. In this way, in the present invention, the box material 2 shown in FIG. 4 is delivered to the customer in a folded state, and the body 10 can be easily formed into a hexagonal cylindrical shape by hand as shown in FIG. 7, so that the hexagonal packaging box 1 can be easily assembled.

[0052] In addition, when the packaging box 1 of this embodiment is assembled, as shown in Figure 7, the pressing portion 51 of the first connecting hole 50A and the pressing portion 51 of the second connecting hole 50B, which are aligned in the left-right direction, are positioned at the same position in the front-to-back direction, and the left and right pressing portions 51, 51 evenly press the tip of the end flap 31, thereby stabilizing the end flap 31 relative to the left and right side flaps 32, 32.

[0053] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The shapes and sizes of the first connecting hole 50A, the second connecting hole 50B, the insertion piece 61 and the protruding piece 62 shown in Figure 4 are not limited, and are formed appropriately taking into consideration the ease of assembly and the difficulty of coming loose between the tip of the end flap 31 and the first connecting hole 50A and the second connecting hole 50B.

[0054] 8, a notch 65 and a protrusion 66 may be formed on the side edge of the insertion piece 61 of the end flap 31. In such a blank sheet S1 and a box material and a packaging box formed from this blank sheet S1, when the insertion piece 61 is inserted into the first connecting hole 50A or the second connecting hole 50B, the notch 65 and the protrusion 66 come into contact with the edge of the first connecting hole 50A or the second connecting hole 50B from the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the insertion piece 61. This makes it difficult for the insertion piece 61 to come out of the connecting hole 50.

[0055] In the packaging box 1 of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, an opening is formed in the top cover 20 provided at the upper opening of the body 10, but the configuration of the top cover 20 is not limited.
