Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a platform on which hollow articles such as Baumkuchen are placed. [Background technology]

[0002] Known conventional mounting tables include, for example, the one described in Patent Document 1. The mounting table described in Patent Document 1 has restricting portions protruding from a sheet material, which are fitted into cavities in a Baumkuchen to position an item, and the restricting portions are formed by cutting the sheet material along score lines and folding it along fold lines, and the restricting plates are protruding and engage with each other at engaging portions at both ends. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3217101 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, Baumkuchen has a sugar coating or the like on its peripheral surface. The above-described placing table has a cut hole on the placing surface on which the Baumkuchen is placed, which is generated when the regulating portion is formed. Therefore, when transporting Baumkuchen using such a placing table, the sugar coating or the like peels off due to the cut hole, resulting in a defective Baumkuchen. Furthermore, the presence of the cut hole also causes a problem of poor appearance.

[0005] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting table that can reduce the number of articles that become defective and can improve the aesthetic appearance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The above object of the present invention can be achieved by the following means: Note that the parentheses indicate reference symbols of embodiments to be described later, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0007] According to the mounting table of claim 1, the mounting table (1) is formed by folding one sheet (S1), a placement section (2) on which an article (W) having a cavity (Wa) is placed; a support portion (3) that is erected on the placement portion (2) by folding the sheet (S1), The support portion (3) supports the article (W) so that the movement of the article (W) is restricted by inserting the cavity (Wa) of the article (W), The placing portion (2) is characterized by being formed flat and not having holes that would otherwise be formed when the supporting portion (3) is formed by folding the sheet (S1).

[0008] According to the invention of claim 2, in the mounting table (1) described in claim 1, a core material (31) that maintains the shape of the support portion (3) is provided inside the support portion (3).

[0009] According to the invention of claim 3, in the loading platform (1) described in claim 1 or 2, the side surfaces (left side surface 2a, right side surface 2b) of the loading section (2) are formed with upright regulating pieces (left regulating piece 4, right regulating piece 5) that regulate the movement of the item (W).

[0010] According to the invention of claim 4, in the mounting table (1) described in any one of claims 1 to 3, the folding lines (30Aa, 30Ba) for folding the sheet (S1) are provided according to the grain of the sheet (S1). [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] Next, the effects of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the reference symbols in parentheses are those of the embodiments described below, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0012] According to the invention of claim 1, the placing portion (2) is formed flat, and does not have holes that would be created when the support portion (3) is formed by folding the sheet (S1). Therefore, unlike conventional methods, when transporting Baumkuchen as an article (W), the sugar coating or the like does not peel off due to the cut holes, which would result in the Baumkuchen being a defective product. Furthermore, the absence of cut holes as in conventional methods results in an excellent aesthetic appearance.

[0013] Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of cases in which the article (W) becomes a defective product, and also to improve the aesthetic appearance.

[0014] According to the invention of claim 2, a core material (31) that maintains the shape of the support part (3) is provided inside the support part (3), thereby reducing the situation where the shape of the support part (3) is distorted and the item (W) can move freely.

[0015] According to the invention of claim 3, the regulating pieces (left regulating piece 4, right regulating piece 5) regulate the movement of the sides of the item (W), thereby making it possible to prevent the item (W) from moving more easily when transporting the boxed item (W).

[0016] According to the invention of claim 4, it is possible to easily fold the sheet into a circular shape in a flat state, without having to take the trouble of providing an R-shaped fold line to make it easier to fold into a circular shape, as in the conventional art.

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, when directions such as up, down, left, and right are indicated, they refer to up, down, left, and right when viewed from the front of the illustration.

[0019] <Explanation of the mounting table> The mounting table according to this embodiment is used when selling an article W having a cavity shown in Fig. 1 (Baumkuchen is shown as an example in the figure). Specifically, the mounting table 1 shown in Fig. 1 has the article W having a cavity Wa placed thereon, which is then covered in a bag (not shown), boxed, and sold.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 1, such a mounting table 1 is made up of a mounting portion 2 and a support portion 3. Each component will be described in detail below.

[0021] <Explanation of the placement section> As shown in FIG. 1 , the placement section 2 is capable of placing an article W thereon and is formed flat and substantially rectangular. A rectangular left restriction piece 4 is integrally formed on the left side surface 2a of the placement section 2, and is formed upright. A rectangular right restriction piece 5 is integrally formed on the right side surface 2b of the placement section 2. The left restriction piece 4 and the right restriction piece 5 restrict movement of the left and right sides of the article W, thereby preventing the article W from moving during transport of the boxed article W. Providing the left restriction piece 4 and the right restriction piece 5 also has the advantage that the left restriction piece 4 and the right restriction piece 5 can be used to easily cover the article W after placing it and then placing it in a bag (not shown).

[0022] The mounting portion 2 thus formed is formed using a single sheet S1 made of cardboard or the like, as shown in FIG. 2. To explain this in more detail, as shown in FIG. 2, the single sheet S1 has a vertically elongated rectangular first mounting portion 20 on the left side of the illustration, and a vertically elongated rectangular second mounting portion 21 on the right side of the illustration. A substantially semi-elliptical first connecting piece 20b is integrally provided at the center of the right side surface 20a of the first mounting portion 20. Therefore, the first connecting piece 20b can be bent using the right side surface 20a as a base point. Meanwhile, a substantially semi-elliptical second connecting piece 21b is integrally provided at the center of the left side surface 21a of the second mounting portion 21. Therefore, the second connecting piece 21b can be bent using the left side surface 21a as a base point. Thus, by using such first connecting piece 20b and second connecting piece 21b, the first mounting portion 20 and the second mounting portion 21 are connected to each other, thereby forming the mounting portion 2. Details of this connecting method will be described later.

[0023] Meanwhile, a folding line 20c is formed on the left side surface 2a (see FIG. 1) of the first mounting portion 20, and a rectangular left regulating piece 4 having a vertical width similar to that of the first mounting portion 20 is provided so as to be continuous with the first mounting portion 20, starting from the folding line 20c. As a result, when the left regulating piece 4 is folded inward from the folding line 20c as a base point, it is formed in an upright shape as shown in FIG.

[0024] Meanwhile, a folding line 21c is formed on the right side surface 2b (see FIG. 1) of the second mounting portion 21, and a rectangular right regulating piece 5 having a vertical width similar to that of the second mounting portion 21 is provided so as to be continuous with the second mounting portion 21, starting from the folding line 21c. As a result, when the right regulating piece 5 is folded inward from the folding line 21c as a base point, it is formed in an upright shape as shown in FIG.

[0025] <Explanation of support parts> As shown in FIG. 1 , the support unit 3 has a support unit main body 30 formed in a hollow circular shape. This support unit main body 30 is erected in the center of the placement unit 2. As shown in FIG. 1 , the hollow Wa of the article W is inserted into the support unit main body 30. This allows the support unit 3 to support the article W while restricting its movement. However, because the support unit main body 30 is hollow, when the boxed article W is transported, the article W may move slightly, causing the support unit main body 30 to lose its circular shape, which may result in the shape of the support unit main body 30 being distorted. This may allow the article W to move freely, resulting in the article W being a defective product. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , a core 31 is provided in the inner diametric direction of the support unit main body 30. This allows the shape of the support unit main body 30 to be maintained by the core 31, even if the boxed article W moves slightly during transportation. This reduces the possibility that the support body 30 will lose its shape and the article W will be able to move freely.

[0026] Incidentally, the support portion 3 formed in this manner is formed using the sheet S1 shown in Fig. 2, similar to the placement portion 2 described above. To explain this in more detail, as shown in Fig. 2, a vertically elongated rectangular first support portion 3A is provided slightly above the lower part of the right side surface 20a of the first placement portion 20. Then, a vertically elongated rectangular second support portion 3B is provided slightly above the lower part of the left side surface 21a of the second placement portion 21 so as to be aligned horizontally with the first support portion 3A.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the first support portion 3A has a first support portion main body 30A having a vertically elongated rectangular shape, and the first support portion main body 30A is separated from the right side surface 20a of the first mounting portion 20. A folding line 30Aa is formed on the underside of the first support portion main body 30A, and a substantially rectangular first core material 31A having a width similar to that of the first support portion main body 30A is provided and continues from the folding line 30Aa as a base point. As shown in FIG. 2, the first core material 31A is provided and continues from the first mounting portion 20 as a base point at a folding line 20a1 formed on the right side surface 20a of the first mounting portion 20. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the first connecting piece 20b described above is cut out inward from the left side surface (the folding line 20a1 side) of the first core material 31A. As a result, when the first connecting piece 20b is bent with the right side surface 20a as the base point, the first cutout hole 31Aa is formed.

[0028] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, a bending line 30Ab is formed on the upper surface of the first support body 30A, and a first insertion piece 32A, which is approximately rectangular and has a width approximately the same as that of the first support body 30A, is provided in a continuous manner, starting from this bending line 30Ab.

[0029] 2, the second support portion 3B has a second support portion main body 30B in a vertically elongated rectangular shape, and this second support portion main body 30B is separated from the left side surface 21a of the second placement portion 21. Furthermore, the second support portion main body 30B is separated from the first support portion main body 30A.

[0030] Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, a folding line 30Ba is formed on the underside of the second support body 30B, and a substantially rectangular second core material 31B having a width similar to that of the second support body 30B is provided, continuing from the folding line 30Ba as a base point. The second core material 31B is provided, continuing from the second mounting portion 21 as shown in FIG. 2, with a folding line 21a1 formed on the left side surface 21a of the second mounting portion 21 as a base point. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the second connecting piece 21b described above is cut out inward from the right side surface (the folding line 21a1 side) of the second core material 31B. As a result, when the second connecting piece 21b is folded from the left side surface 21a as a base point, a second cutout hole 31Ba is formed. As shown in FIG. 2, a folding line 31Bb is formed on the left side surface of the second core 31B, and the second core 31B and the first core 31A are provided in a continuous manner with this folding line 31Bb as the base point.

[0031] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, a bending line 30Bb is formed on the upper surface of the second support body 30B, and a second insertion piece 32B, which is approximately rectangular and has a width approximately the same as that of the second support body 30B, is provided in a continuous manner, starting from this bending line 30Bb.

[0032] Thus, the first support part 3A and the second support part 3B formed in this manner are used to form the support part body 30 and the core material 31, thereby forming the support part 3. Details of this formation method will be described later.

[0033] <How to assemble the stage> Here, a method for assembling the mounting table 1 configured as above will be described in detail below.

[0034] First, as shown in Fig. 3, the first core material 31A and the second core material 31B are bent into a mountain shape using the bending line 31Bb shown in Fig. 2 as a base point. As a result, the first core material 31A becomes upright using the bending line 20a1 shown in Fig. 2 as a base point, and the second core material 31B becomes upright using the bending line 21a1 shown in Fig. 2 as a base point. As a result, as shown in Fig. 3, the first cutout hole 31Aa that was closed by the first connecting piece 20b (see Fig. 2) is exposed to the outside, and further, the second cutout hole 31Ba that was closed by the second connecting piece 21b is exposed to the outside.

[0035] Next, in this state, the second connecting piece 21b is inserted into the first cutout hole 31Aa, or the first connecting piece 20b is inserted into the second cutout hole 31Ba. In this embodiment, the first connecting piece 20b is inserted into the second cutout hole 31Ba. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the first connecting piece 20b is inserted into the second cutout hole 31Ba, and the first support portion 3A and the second support portion 3B overlap each other. This connects the first mounting portion 20 and the second mounting portion 21, thereby forming the mounting portion 2. Although not shown, the same applies when the second connecting piece 21b is inserted into the first cutout hole 31Aa.

[0036] In this case, to ensure that the first connecting piece 20b is firmly fixed to the second cutout hole 31Ba, as shown in FIG. 2, the first connecting piece 20b has a first locking step 20b1 extending inward on the right side surface 20a of the first mounting portion 20. As a result, when the first connecting piece 20b is inserted into the second cutout hole 31Ba, the first locking step 20b1 hooks onto the periphery of the second cutout hole 31Ba. Therefore, the first connecting piece 20b is firmly fixed to the second cutout hole 31Ba. The same applies when the second connecting piece 21b is inserted into the first cutout hole 31Aa. That is, to ensure that the second connecting piece 21b is firmly fixed to the first cutout hole 31Aa, as shown in FIG. 2, the second connecting piece 21b has a second locking step 21b1 extending inward on the left side surface 21a of the second mounting portion 21. As a result, when the second connecting piece 21b is inserted into the first cutout hole 31Aa, the second locking step 21b1 is caught on the periphery of the first cutout hole 31Aa, and the second connecting piece 21b is firmly fixed to the first cutout hole 31Aa.

[0037] Next, using the folding line 30Aa shown in Fig. 2 as a base point, the first support body 30A shown in Fig. 4 is folded toward the first core material 31A as shown in Fig. 5. Then, using the folding line 30Aa shown in Fig. 2 as a base point, the second support body 30B shown in Fig. 4 is folded toward the second core material 31B as shown in Fig. 5.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 5, a small gap K is formed between the overlapping first support portion 3A and second support portion 3B. Therefore, the first insertion piece 32A and the second insertion piece 32B are inserted into this gap K. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the first support portion body 30A is bent toward the first core material 31A, and the first insertion piece 32A is bent inward using the bending line 30Ab as a base point, and inserted into the gap K. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the second support portion body 30B is bent toward the second core material 31B, and the second insertion piece 32B is bent inward using the bending line 30Bb as a base point, and inserted into the gap K. In this way, the support portion 3 is formed as shown in FIG. 6. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the first support body 30A and the second support body 30B form the support body 30, and the first core material 31A and the second core material 31B form the core material 31.

[0039] The first insertion piece 32A is formed with a first step 32Aa to facilitate insertion into the gap K shown in Fig. 5. The second insertion piece 32B is formed with a second step 32Ba to facilitate insertion into the gap K shown in Fig. 5. This makes it easier to initially insert the first insertion piece 32A into the gap K, and therefore, the first insertion piece 32A and the second insertion piece 32B can be firmly inserted into the gap K to the end thereafter.

[0040] Next, after achieving the state shown in Fig. 6, by bending the left restriction piece 4 inward using the bending line 20c as a base point, it is formed in an upright shape as shown in Fig. 1, and by bending the right restriction piece 5 inward using the bending line 21c as a base point, it is formed in an upright shape as shown in Fig. 1. In this way, the mounting table 1 is assembled.

[0041] 1, the article W (a Baumkuchen is shown as an example in the figure) is placed on the mounting section 2 after the hollow Wa in the center of the article W is inserted into the support section main body 30 of the mounting table 1 thus assembled. In this state, the article W is then covered with a bag (not shown), boxed, and transported to a predetermined location for sale. In this case, it is preferable to use waterproof paper as the sheet S1, or to apply a PP treatment by attaching polypropylene (PP) to the front surface and a waterproof treatment to the back surface so as not to absorb moisture from the article W.

[0042] According to the present embodiment described above, the placement portion 2 is formed flat, and does not have holes that would otherwise be created when the support portion 3 is formed by folding the sheet S1. Therefore, unlike conventional methods, when transporting Baumkuchen as the goods W, the sugar coating or the like does not peel off due to the cut holes, and the Baumkuchen is not rendered a defective product. Furthermore, the absence of cut holes as in conventional methods results in an excellent aesthetic appearance.

[0043] Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the number of cases in which the article W becomes a defective product, and also to improve the aesthetic appearance.

[0044] Furthermore, if the mounting table 1 is assembled using the method shown in this embodiment, it is only necessary to adjust the lengths of the first mounting section 20 and the second mounting section 21, the first support section 3A and the second support section 3B according to the size of the item W, making manufacturing easier.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sheet S1 is designed to be folded in the direction of the grain (the direction of the fibers that make up the paper). That is, it is generally known that a sheet is stiff when folded perpendicular to the grain, and soft when folded parallel to the grain.

[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment, when forming the support body 30, the fold lines 30Aa, 30Ba are designed so that the first support body 30A and the second support body 30B are folded in a direction parallel to the grain direction to facilitate folding into a circular shape. In this way, there is no need to provide R-shaped fold lines to facilitate folding into a circular shape, as in the conventional method, and the first support body 30A and the second support body 30B can be formed flat. Furthermore, forming them flat in this way also eliminates the problem that the sheet S1 may become twisted when folded into a circular shape as in the conventional method.

[0047] It should be noted that the shapes shown in this embodiment are merely examples, and various modifications and alterations are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention as set forth in the claims. For example, in this embodiment, an example in which the support portion 3 is circular is shown, but it may be polygonal instead of circular. However, if it is polygonal, the article W will be supported at points, which may result in weak support. Therefore, a circular shape that can support the article over a surface is preferable.
