Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a display box for displaying items in a removable state. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional display box is described in Patent Document 1. This display box is for displaying stick-shaped products and has a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape. The display box has an outlet and a mounting base. Products are stored in the display box by being placed on the mounting base in a vertically stacked state. The outlet is formed so as to wrap around from the front wall to the side wall of the display box, and its lower edge is configured to be at the same height as the upper surface of the mounting base. As a result, the lowest product among the products stacked on the mounting base becomes the display product facing the outlet.

[0003] In this display box, when a user takes out a displayed commodity through the outlet, the commodity above it falls by gravity and is placed on the platform, becoming a displayed commodity facing the outlet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3099916 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the conventional display boxes, when a displayed product is removed, the products above it fall due to gravity and are placed on the display base, so the front ends of the displayed products are positioned along the inner surface of the front wall of the display box, which makes it difficult for customers to remove the displayed products.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a display box that can improve the ease of taking out display items when the display items are stored in a vertically stacked state. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 comprises: A display box formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape by a front wall, a pair of side walls, a top wall, a bottom wall, and a rear wall, configured to be able to store a plurality of display items stacked vertically with the items aligned in the longitudinal direction, and for displaying a first display item, which is the lowest display item, in a manner that allows the first display item to be removed in the longitudinal direction of the first display item, An opening for removing the first display item is formed in the front wall and the pair of side walls, a support wall portion is provided above the bottom wall portion to support the first exhibit from below in a diagonally backward-leaning position; The display box is characterized in that when the first display item is pulled forward through the opening, the second display item, which is an item placed above the first display item, rotates downward around the upper end of the rear end of the first display item as a fulcrum when the first display item has moved forward a predetermined distance, and the lower end of the rear end of the second display item abuts the bottom wall, and when the first display item has moved to a position where it has been removed from under the second display item, the second display item rotates downward around the point where the lower end of the rear end of the second display item abuts the bottom wall, and the front end of the second display item faces the opening and is supported from below by the support wall in a diagonally backward position.

[0008] This display box allows multiple display items to be stacked vertically with their lengths aligned. In this case, the lowest display item, the first display item, is supported from below by the support wall in a diagonally tilted-back position, so that the display items above the first display item are also stored in a diagonally tilted-back position. When the first display item is pulled forward through the opening, the second display item placed above the first display item rotates downward around the upper rear end of the first display item as a fulcrum, and the lower rear end of the second display item abuts the bottom wall. At this time, the lower rear end of the second display item rotates downward around the upper rear end of the first display item as a fulcrum, moving forward (toward the front wall) from its original position when stacked vertically, and abutting the bottom wall.

[0009] Furthermore, when the first display item moves to a position where it can be removed from under the second display item, the second display item rotates downward, using the point where the lower end of its rear end abuts the bottom wall as a fulcrum, so that its front end faces the opening and is supported from below by the support wall in a diagonally rearward-leaning position. As mentioned above, the position where the lower end of the second display item abuts the bottom wall is further forward (closer to the front wall) than its initial position when stacked vertically. Therefore, by rotating downward, the second display item rotates downward, using the point where the lower end of its rear end abuts the bottom wall as a fulcrum, so that its front end protrudes from the opening. This makes it easier for users to grasp the second display item when removing it, thereby improving the ease of removing displays.

[0010] The invention according to claim 2 is the display box according to claim 1, the rear wall portion is connected to one of the pair of side wall portions and has a gap formed at a boundary with the one side wall portion; the other of the pair of side walls has a side wall main body portion connected to the front wall portion via a fold line, a cover portion connected to the side opposite the front wall portion of the side wall main body portion and for covering the rear wall portion, and an insertion portion connected to the side opposite the side wall main body portion of the cover portion, The display box can be opened and closed by rotating the side wall main body of the other side wall relative to the front wall around the fold line, and the display box can be closed by folding the cover relative to the side wall main body and folding the insertion part along the fold line and inserting it into the slit.

[0011] With this display box, the side wall main body of the other side wall rotates relative to the front wall about the fold line, thereby opening and closing the display box, making it easy to do so. Also, the display box is closed by folding the cover relative to the side wall main body and folding the insertion part along the fold line and inserting it into the slit, so a display box opening and closing structure can be achieved with a simple and inexpensive configuration of slits and insertion parts.

[0012] The invention according to claim 3 is the display box according to claim 1 or 2, The bottom wall portion is connected to one of the pair of side wall portions, The support wall portion is a first bent portion connected to the opposite side of one of the side wall portions of the bottom wall portion and bent upward; a placement wall portion connected to the first bent portion and obliquely downwardly slanting toward the rear for placing the first display item; It is characterized by having a second bent portion that is connected to the opposite side of the first bent portion of the mounting wall, bends downward, and has a tip that abuts the bottom wall portion when the first display item is placed on the mounting wall.

[0013] With this display box, when a first display item is placed on the mounting wall, the first and second folding portions can support the first display item and any other items stacked on top of it. Furthermore, by integrally forming one side wall, the bottom wall, and the support wall, and integrally forming the mounting wall, the first and second folding portions, the number of parts and assembly man-hours can be reduced compared to when these are separate parts.

[0015] A display box according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, the display box 1 of this embodiment has a rectangular parallelepiped exterior, and stores a plurality of products S (display items) stacked vertically inside (see Figs. 4A and 5 described later). In this embodiment, the products S are items with an elongated rectangular parallelepiped exterior (for example, throat lozenges).

[0016] In the following description, the direction indicated by the arrows X1-X2 in Figure 1 will be referred to as the "front-to-back direction," the direction indicated by the arrows Y1-Y2 will be referred to as the "left-to-right direction," and the up-down direction will be referred to as the "up-down direction," and the same will be used for each component.

[0017] An outlet 20 (opening) is formed on the underside of the front end of the display box 1, and as shown in Figure 1, a product S that is presented at this outlet 20 is grasped from the left and right by the user's two fingers F, F and pulled toward them to be removed from the display box 1.

[0018] This display box 1 is assembled by forming a box template 10 shown in Figure 2 from cardboard and folding it. The box template 10 has a left wall 11, a front wall 12, a right wall 13, a rear wall 14, a top wall 15, and a bottom wall 16, and these elements 11 to 16 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the left and right side walls 11, 13 correspond to a pair of side walls.

[0019] The left side wall 11 is integrally provided with a side wall main body 11a, a cover 11b, and an insertion portion 11c. The side wall main body 11a is rectangular and is connected to the front wall 12 via a fold line f3. This fold line f3 is a line that makes it easy to fold the box template 10 when assembling the display box 1, and this also applies to the other fold lines described below.

[0020] The cover portion 11b is connected to the end of the side wall main body portion 11a opposite to the front wall portion 12 via a fold line f1, and the upper and lower ends of the tip side of the cover portion 11b are notched in an arc shape. The width of the cover portion 11b is set to be approximately the same as the width of the rear wall portion 14 in the left-right direction.

[0021] The insertion portion 11c is connected to the vertical center of the tip of the cover portion 11b via a fold line f2. The insertion portion 11c has a trapezoidal shape that narrows toward the tip, and the connecting portion of the insertion portion 11c with the cover portion 11b has locking portions 11d, 11d with notches at the top and bottom ends. When the insertion portion 11c is inserted into a slit 14b (described later), these locking portions 11d, 11d engage with the edges of the slit 14b, thereby locking the insertion portion 11c to the rear wall portion 14 in a non-removable state.

[0022] The front wall 12 is disposed between the left side wall 11 and the right side wall 13, and is connected to both of them via fold lines f3 and f4. The front wall 12 is rectangular, and its vertical size is the same as that of the left and right side walls 11 and 13.

[0023] A breakable line b1 is formed on the underside of the front wall 12, spanning the left side wall 11 and the right side wall 13. This breakable line b1 is configured in a substantially rectangular shape, and when assembling the display box 1, the area surrounded by the breakable line b1 is pressed by an operator and separated from the three walls 11 to 13, thereby forming the dispensing opening 20.

[0024] A pair of upper and lower fixing portions 12a, 12a are connected via fold lines f5, f6 at the upper and lower ends of the front wall portion 12. These fixing portions 12a, 12a are trapezoidal in shape, and when assembling the display box 1, they are folded along the fold lines f5, f6 relative to the front wall portion 12 in the direction in which the display box 1 is assembled (towards the front in Figure 2). In the following explanation, the direction in which the display box 1 is assembled will be referred to as the "assembly direction."

[0025] The right side wall 13 is rectangular and of the same size as the side wall main body 11a of the left side wall 11. A top wall 15 and a folded portion 17 are integrally formed at the upper end of the right side wall 13. The top wall 15 is rectangular and has the same front-to-rear size as the right side wall 13, and is connected to the upper end of the right side wall 13 via a fold line f7. This fold line f7 is located on the same straight line as the above-mentioned fold line f5. When the display box 1 is assembled, the top wall 15 is folded along the fold line f7 relative to the right side wall 13 in the assembly direction.

[0026] A pair of round holes 13a, 13a is formed in the right side wall 13 near the fold line f7, and a pair of round holes 15a, 15a is formed in the top wall 15 in positions that are symmetrical to the pair of round holes 13a, 13a, with the fold line f7 in between. These four round holes 13a, 15a are for hanging the display box 1 by passing a string or the like through them, and all are configured to be the same size.

[0027] The folding portion 17 is configured to be approximately rectangular, and is connected to the top wall portion 15 on the side opposite the right wall portion 13 via a folding line f8. When the display box 1 is assembled, this folding portion 17 is folded along the folding line f8 relative to the top wall portion 15 in the assembly direction.

[0028] Furthermore, a fold line g1 is formed on the top wall portion 15 and the folding portion 17, and this fold line g1 extends from the intersection of the two fold lines f4, f7, sloping away from the fold line f7, to the tip of the folding portion 17. This fold line g1 is a line (for example, a perforated line) used to fold the display box 1 into a smaller size after it has been assembled, and this is the same for the other fold lines described below.

[0029] The bottom wall 16 is rectangular and of the same size as the top wall 15, and is connected to the lower end of the right side wall 13 via a fold line f9. This fold line f9 is aligned with the fold line f6 described above. When the display box 1 is assembled, the bottom wall 16 is folded along the fold line f9 relative to the right side wall 13 in the assembly direction.

[0030] A support wall 18 is connected to the lower end of the bottom wall 16. As shown in Figures 4A and 5, this support wall 18 is intended to support the lowest product S from below when the products S are stacked vertically and stored in the display box 1. In this support wall 18, a first bent portion 18a, a placing wall portion 18b, and a second bent portion 18c are integrally formed.

[0031] The first bent portion 18a is connected to the lower end of the bottom wall portion 16 via a fold line f10, which is formed parallel to the fold line f9. When the display box 1 is assembled, the first bent portion 18a is bent along the fold line f10 relative to the bottom wall portion 16 in the assembly direction.

[0032] The first bent portion 18a has a trapezoidal shape with a portion thereof on the front wall 12 side cut out, and a placing wall portion 18b is provided in the cut out portion of the first bent portion 18a.

[0033] The mounting wall portion 18b is formed in a substantially rectangular shape and is connected to the first folded portion 18a via a fold line f11. A slit 18d separates the end of the mounting wall portion 18b on the rear wall portion 14 side from the first folded portion 18a. This allows the mounting wall portion 18b to be folded along the fold line f11 relative to the first folded portion 18a when the display box 1 is assembled.

[0034] The fold line f11 is formed so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the fold line f10 so that the distance between the fold line f11 and the fold line f10 increases as the fold line f11 approaches the front wall portion 12 side.

[0035] The second folded portion 18c is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape and is connected to the mounting wall portion 18b via a fold line f12. This fold line f12 is provided parallel to the fold line f11, and the distance between them, i.e., the width of the mounting wall portion 18b, is configured to be slightly larger than the width of the product S. When the display box 1 is assembled, the second folded portion 18c is folded along the fold line f12 relative to the mounting wall portion 18b in the assembly direction.

[0036] The tip of the second bent portion 18c facing the fold line f12 is formed to be inclined with respect to the fold line f12 so that the distance between the tip and the fold line f12 increases toward the front wall portion 12. This inclination angle is set to be the same as the predetermined angle between the two fold lines f10 and f11 described above.

[0037] Furthermore, the distance d1 between the end of the tip of second bent portion 18c on the front wall 12 side and the end of fold line f12 on the front wall 12 side is configured to be equal to the distance d1 between the ends of the two fold lines f10, f11 on the front wall 12 side. The reason why support wall portion 18 is configured as described above is to stably support product S by first and second bent portions 18a, 18c when product S is placed on placement wall portion 18b after display box 1 is assembled, as will be described later.

[0038] Furthermore, a fold line g2 is formed in the bottom wall portion 16 and the first folded portion 18a of the support wall portion 18. This fold line g2 is arranged symmetrically with the above-mentioned fold line g1, and extends from the intersection of the two fold lines f4 and f9 to the tip of the first folded portion 18a while being inclined with respect to the fold line f9.

[0039] The rear wall 14 is connected to the rear end of the right side wall 13 via a fold line f13 and is configured as a rectangle of the same size as the front wall 12. A slit 14b is formed in the center in the up-down direction along the fold line f13 between the rear wall 14 and the right side wall 13. This slit 14b is configured to be sized so that when the insertion portion 11c is inserted, the locking portions 11d, 11d of the insertion portion 11c engage with the edges of the slit 14b, and the insertion portion 11c is locked in a non-removable state.

[0040] Furthermore, a pair of upper and lower fixing portions 14a, 14a are connected via fold lines f14, f15 to the upper and lower ends of the rear wall portion 14. The fold line f14 is configured to be positioned on the same straight line as the fold line f7, and the fold line f15 is configured to be positioned on the same straight line as the fold line f9.

[0041] The pair of fixing portions 14a, 14a are formed in a trapezoidal shape and are configured to be line-symmetrical with the pair of fixing portions 12a, 12a described above. When assembling the display box 1, these fixing portions 14a, 14a are folded in the assembly direction along fold lines f14, f15 relative to the rear wall portion 14.

[0042] A pair of folding lines g3, g3 are formed on the rear wall 14, and these folding lines g3, g3 are arranged line-symmetrically. That is, one folding line g3 extends diagonally downward and rearward from the intersection of the two folding lines f13, f14 to the tip of the rear wall 14, and the other folding line g3 extends diagonally upward and rearward from the intersection of the two folding lines f13, f15 to the tip of the rear wall 14.

[0043] Next, a procedure for assembling the display box 1 shown in Fig. 1 from the box pattern 10 shown in Fig. 2 will be described. First, the area surrounded by the breakable line b1 is pressed by an operator (not shown) and separated from the three wall portions 11 to 13, thereby forming the dispensing opening 20.

[0044] Next, the front wall 12 is folded perpendicular to the assembly direction relative to the right side wall 13 along fold line f4, and then the upper and lower fixing portions 12a, 12a are folded perpendicular to the assembly direction relative to the front wall 12 along fold lines f5, f6. Furthermore, the rear wall 14 is folded perpendicular to the assembly direction relative to the right side wall 13 along fold line f13, and then the upper and lower fixing portions 14a, 14a are folded perpendicular to the assembly direction relative to the rear wall 14 along fold lines f14, f15.

[0045] Next, the top wall 15 is folded perpendicularly to the assembly direction relative to the right side wall 13 along fold line f7, and then the surfaces of the two upper fixing portions 12a and 14a are fixed via adhesive to the inner surface of the top wall 15. Thereafter, the folding portion 17 is folded in the assembly direction relative to the top wall 15 along fold line f8.

[0046] Meanwhile, after the bottom wall portion 16 is folded perpendicular to the assembly direction along the fold line f9 relative to the right side wall portion 13, the surfaces of the two lower fixing portions 12a, 14a are fixed to the inner surface of the bottom wall portion 16 via adhesive.

[0047] Next, the second bent portion 18c of the support wall portion 18 is bent perpendicular to the assembly direction along the fold line f12 relative to the mounting wall portion 18b, and then the mounting wall portion 18b is bent perpendicular to the assembly direction relative to the first bent portion 18a along the fold line f11. Furthermore, the first bent portion 18a is bent perpendicular to the assembly direction relative to the bottom wall portion 16 along the fold line f10.

[0048] By carrying out the assembly work as described above, the display box 1 is assembled into the state shown in Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 3, when the display box 1 is assembled, the placement wall portion 18b is in a position that leans obliquely backward.

[0049] Next, with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C and 5, an operation for storing products S in the display box 1 assembled as described above and making the products S available for removal will be described.

[0050] As shown in Figure 4A, when multiple products S (six in Figure 4A) are stored in the display box 1, the multiple products S are placed on the mounting wall 18b in a state where they are stacked vertically with their rears tilted downward. At this time, the lower end of the second bent portion 18c extending downward from the left end of the mounting wall 18b abuts against the upper surface of the bottom wall 16, supporting the products S on the mounting wall 18b.

[0051] At the same time, the first bent portion 18a extending downward from the right end of the placing wall portion 18b supports the product S on the placing wall portion 18b because it is integral with the bottom wall portion 16. As described above, the product S on the placing wall portion 18b is supported by the first bent portion 18a and the second bent portion 18c (see FIG. 5).

[0052] Next, as shown in Figure 4B, the left side wall 11 is folded at a right angle along fold line f3 in the direction of closing the display box 1 (to the left in Figure 3), and the insertion portion 11c is folded at a right angle along fold line f2 toward the rear wall 14.

[0053] Then, cover portion 11b is folded at a right angle along fold line f1 in a direction to cover rear wall portion 14, and at the same time, insertion portion 11c is inserted into slit 14b and locked in a non-detachable state, so that display box 1 is in a state in which left wall portion 11 serving as an opening and closing door is closed, as shown in Fig. 4C. In this case, the lowest product S faces outlet 20, as shown in Fig. 5.

[0054] Next, with reference to Figures 6A to 7B, an operation will be described when a plurality of products S are stored in the display box 1 and the lowest product S is removed from the display box 1. In the following description, the lowest product S to be removed this time will be referred to as the "current product S1," and the second-lowest product S will be referred to as the "next product S2." In this embodiment, the current product S1 corresponds to the first display item, and the next product S2 corresponds to the second display item.

[0055] As shown in Figure 6A, when multiple products S (six in Figure 6A) are stored in the display box 1, these products S are stacked vertically and placed on the placing wall 18b in a diagonally backward-facing position. In this state, the lower end (corner) of the rear end of the current product S1 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom wall 16 at abutment point P1.

[0056] When the current product S1 is pulled out from the outlet 20 of the display box 1 by the user, at the point when the current product S1 moves from the position shown in Figure 6A to the position shown in Figure 6B, the upper end (corner) of the rear end of the current product S1 comes into contact with the underside of the next product S2 at the contact point P2.

[0057] In the state shown in Figure 6B, the contact point P2 is located behind the center position of the underside of the next product S2, so the posture of the next product S2 and the products S above it is maintained in the same posture as in Figure 6A.

[0058] Then, when the current product S1 is pulled further forward from the position shown in Figure 6B and the contact point P2 is positioned forward of the center position of the underside of the next product S2, as shown in Figure 7A, the next product S2 will rotate downward (counterclockwise in the figure) using this contact point P2 as a fulcrum, and the lower end of the rear end of the next product S2 will contact the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 16 at contact point P3.

[0059] That is, the next product S2 changes to a posture with a larger angle of downward diagonal movement toward the rear compared to the posture shown in Fig. 6B, and at the same time, the postures of the products S above the next product S2 also change to the same posture as the next product S2. In addition, this contact point P3 is located forward of the aforementioned contact point P1.

[0060] Then, when the current product S1 is pulled further forward from the position shown in Figure 7A and completely comes out from under the next product S2 as shown in Figure 7B, the next product S2 rotates downward (clockwise in the figure) with the contact point P3 as the fulcrum, and the underside of the next product S2 comes into contact with the mounting wall portion 18b, and then the next product S2 is placed on the mounting wall portion 18b.

[0061] At this time, as mentioned above, since the contact point P3 is located forward of the contact point P1, the front end of the next product S2 protrudes forward from the outlet 20 and beyond the front wall portion 12, as shown in Figure 7B.

[0062] Furthermore, the applicant's tests have confirmed that the amount (length) by which the next product S2 projects forward from the front wall portion 12 may be greater than the state shown in Figure 7B due to factors such as the speed at which the product S is pulled forward, the size of the product S, and the frictional resistance of the surface of the product S.

[0063] As described above, in the display box 1 of this embodiment, multiple products S are stored stacked vertically with their longitudinal axes aligned. In this case, the current product S1, which is the lowest product, is supported from below by the placement wall portion 18b of the support wall portion 18 in a diagonally backward-leaning position, so that the products S above the current product S1 are also stored in a diagonally backward-leaning position.

[0064] When the current product S1 is pulled forward from the outlet 20, the next product S2 placed above the current product S1 rotates downward around the abutment point P2 with the upper end of the rear end of the current product S1 as a fulcrum at a position where the current product S1 has moved forward a predetermined distance (for example, the position shown in Figure 7A), and the lower end of the rear end of the next product S2 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 16 at abutment point P3.

[0065] Furthermore, when the current product S1 moves to a position where it can be removed from below the next product S2, the next product S2 rotates downward around the contact point P3 as a fulcrum, and the front end of the next product S2 faces the outlet 20 and is supported from below by the support wall in a diagonally rearward-leaning position. At this time, the next product S2 rotates downward around the contact point P3, which is forward of the contact point P1 when the current product S1 was stored, as a fulcrum, so that its front end protrudes from the outlet 20. This makes it easier for the user to grasp the next product S2 when removing it, thereby improving the ease of removing the products S.

[0066] Furthermore, when the current product S1 is placed on the placing wall portion 18b, the first bent portion 18a and the second bent portion 18c can support the current product S1 and the products S stacked on top of it. Furthermore, the right side wall portion 13, the bottom wall portion 16, and the support wall portion 18 can be formed integrally, and the placing wall portion 18b, the first bent portion 18a, and the second bent portion 18c of the support wall portion 18 can be formed integrally, which reduces the number of parts and the number of assembly steps compared to when these are separate parts.

[0067] Furthermore, after storing the products S in the display box 1, the display box 1 can be opened and closed by rotating the left side wall 11 relative to the front wall 12 around the fold line f3, which facilitates the opening and closing of the display box 1. Also, the display box 1 is closed when the insertion portion 11c is inserted into the slit 14b while being folded along the fold line f2, so the opening and closing structure of the display box 1 can be realized by the simple and inexpensive configuration of the slit 14b and the insertion portion 11c.

[0068] In the embodiment, the display items are shaped like long, thin rectangular parallelepiped products S, but the display items of the present invention are not limited to this and may be any items that can be stacked vertically with their longitudinal axes aligned and stored in a display box. For example, display items may be cylindrical, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0069] Furthermore, although the embodiment is an example in which the lower end (corner) of the rear end of the next product S2 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom wall 16 when the current product S1 is drawn out from the outlet 20, the following configuration may be used instead. For example, by extending the length of the loading wall 18b in the front-to-rear direction and configuring the rear end of the loading wall 18b to reach the rear wall 14, when the current product S1 is drawn out from the outlet 20, the lower end of the rear end of the next product S2 abuts against the upper surface of the loading wall 18b, and then the next product S2 is placed on the loading wall 18b.

[0070] Furthermore, in the embodiment, when the next product S2 rotates downward around the abutment point P3 as a fulcrum, the front end of the next product S2 protrudes from the outlet 20 without coming into contact with the front wall 12. However, the display items of the present invention are not limited to this, and the front end of the next product S2 may collide with the front wall 12. For example, when the next product S2 rotates downward around the abutment point P3 as a fulcrum, the lower end of its front end may collide with the front wall 12 above the outlet 20, slide slightly downward along the front wall 12, and begin to rotate when it faces the outlet 20, losing support from the front wall 12. In this case, when sliding down, the lower end of the rear end of the next product S2 moves a predetermined distance backward and rotates around position P3' (the midpoint between the abutment points P1 and P3) as a fulcrum.

[0071] Furthermore, the material of the display box of the present invention is not limited to paperboard, but may be any material that can be folded and assembled and can be torn along the tear line. For example, the material of the display box 1 may be PP-coated paper or a thin synthetic resin plate. [Explanation of symbols]
