Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a transport package, and more particularly to a transport package in which a glass plate package in which a glass plate laminate is loaded on a support is housed in a transport housing. [Background technology]

[0002] When glass plates are packaged, a glass plate laminate, which is formed by stacking a plurality of glass plates with protective sheets interposed between them, is loaded onto a support such as a packaging pallet.

[0003] A glass plate package obtained by loading a glass plate laminate on a support may be stored in a transport storage body such as a transport container or a truck bed, and transported as a transport package. In this case, since defects such as shaking and falling of the glass plate package may occur in the glass plate package, the glass plate package is fixed to the transport storage body using a fixing member.

[0004] As an example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a lashing belt, which serves as a fixing member, is stretched across a support body (a base in the document) of a glass sheet package and a luggage compartment of a truck.

[0005] In more detail, the document describes that a hook portion (70) is provided on the underside of the upholstery material (22), which is a component of the base (20), and that a hook portion provided at the upper end of the lashing belt (110) is hooked onto the hook portion (70) (see Figure 4 of the document). Note that the lashing belt (110) in the document also has a hook portion (112) at its lower end, which is adapted to be hooked onto a hook portion (126) fixed to the luggage compartment (122). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2012 / 005105 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, with the fixing means for the support as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to separately attach a hook portion to the constituent member of the support, which makes the production of the support complicated and increases the production costs.

[0008] Furthermore, with this fixing means, if the support body sways during transportation, the constituent members of the support body are pulled downward by the lashing belt via the hooking mechanism between the hook portion and the hook part. In such an embodiment, it becomes difficult to stably fix the support body by using the hooking mechanism.

[0009] In addition, when the lashing belt pulls downward on the support component, undue stress may be generated on the latching mechanism or its surroundings, which may cause strength problems.

[0010] Due to the above factors, it becomes difficult to appropriately deal with shaking, tipping, etc. of the support that occurs during transportation.

[0011] From the above perspective, the present invention aims to simplify the configuration of the support body of the glass plate packaging body, and enable the support body to be stably fixed to the transport storage body with sufficient strength, thereby appropriately dealing with shaking, tipping, etc. of the support body that occurs during transport. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] The present invention, which has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems, provides a transport package comprising a glass plate package in which a glass plate laminate including a plurality of stacked glass plates is loaded on a support, a transport case for accommodating the glass plate package, and a fixing member for fixing the glass plate package to the transport case, wherein the fixing member comprises an upper regulating member having a regulating portion disposed above a constituent member constituting the support, and the regulating portion regulates movement of the constituent member. Here, the "constituent member constituting the support" refers to a constituent member (e.g., a frame member) that forms part of the rigid support.

[0013] With this configuration, the restricting portion of the upper restricting member is positioned above the support component to restrict its movement, eliminating the need for a latching mechanism or the like between the restricting portion and the support component. This simplifies the support configuration, facilitating and reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, even if vibrations or other issues occur during transport of the transport package, the restricting portion of the upper restricting member abuts against the support component, thereby stably securing the support. Additionally, the absence of a latching mechanism or the like between the restricting portion and the component reduces the likelihood of undue stress being generated, improving strength. These combined effects effectively prevent the support from shaking or tipping over during transport.

[0014] In this configuration, it is preferable that the upper regulating member has a fastening portion connected to the regulating portion, and the fastening portion is fastened to the floor of the transport container.

[0015] In this way, the upper regulating member is directly fastened to the floor by fastening the fastening portion connected to the regulating portion to the floor of the transport container. Therefore, there is no need to interpose a hooking mechanism between the upper regulating member and the floor. This simplifies the configuration of the transport container and further improves the stability and strength of the upper regulating member fixed to the floor.

[0016] In this configuration, the fastening portion is preferably fastened to the floor of the transport container in an outer region of the support body in a plan view.

[0017] In this way, the spacing between the fastening portions of the upper regulating member can be increased, thereby reducing the load on the fastening portions and more reliably preventing the support from shaking or tipping over.

[0018] In the above-described configuration, it is preferable that at least the restricting portion of the upper restricting member is formed of a rod-shaped body and / or a plate-shaped body.

[0019] In this way, the rigidity of the upper regulating member is significantly higher than that of, for example, a lashing belt, etc., so that the support body can be prevented from shaking or falling over even more reliably.

[0020] In the above configuration, if the direction in which two side walls arranged along the horizontal direction from the loading section toward the back of the transport storage body face each other is defined as the width direction, it is preferable that the regulating portion of the upper regulating member penetrates the support body in the width direction and protrudes on both sides of the support body, and that fastening portions of the upper regulating member are respectively provided on these protruding portions, and that these fastening portions are fastened to the floor of the transport storage body.

[0021] In this way, since the restricting portion of the upper restricting member penetrates the support body in the width direction, it is not necessary to provide restricting portions at multiple locations in the width direction, thereby reducing the number of parts. Moreover, since the fastening portion protrudes from the support body, it is easier to fasten the fastening portion to the floor.

[0022] In this configuration, it is preferable that the regulating portion of the upper regulating member is a frame body composed of a pair of frame materials that penetrate the support in the width direction at a position lower than the glass plate laminate and protrude from both sides of the support, and a pair of frame materials that connect the protruding portions of the frame materials on both sides of the support, respectively.

[0023] In this way, the restricting portion is made up of a frame body, which increases the rigidity and strength of the restricting portion. Also, because the protruding portions of the pair of frame members from the support bodies are respectively connected to the other pair of frame members, the restricting portion made up of the frame body can be easily assembled, improving workability.

[0024] In this configuration, it is preferable that the fastening portion is provided at each of the four corners of the frame body.

[0025] In this way, the frame can be efficiently and firmly fixed to the floor.

[0026] In the above configuration, the frame is preferably disposed in a middle portion including a central position in the lateral direction of the support body.

[0027] In this way, the frame body is disposed at a position appropriate for preventing the support body from shaking or falling over, and therefore the number of frame bodies used can be reduced.

[0028] In the above configuration, if the side of the transport storage body facing the rear from the loading section is defined as the front side, it is preferable that the fixing member further includes a front regulating member that regulates the movement of the support body toward the front side, and a pressing member that presses the support body toward the front side.

[0029] In this way, even if the transport container moves in the front-to-rear direction, the front movement of the support is restricted by the front restricting member, and the rear movement of the support is restricted by the pressing member. Moreover, the pressing force from the pressing member can hold the support in a fixed position in the front-to-rear direction of the transport container.

[0030] In the above configuration, it is preferable that the glass plate laminate is loaded on the support body in an inclined position, and that the upper and lower edges of the glass plates extend horizontally from the loading section of the transport storage body toward the back.

[0031] This is advantageous when large glass sheets are packed and transported.

[0032] Here, it is preferable that the size of the glass plate is such that the length of one side extending horizontally from the loading section of the transport container toward the back is 2000 mm or more, and the length of the other side perpendicular to the one side is 2000 mm or more.

[0033] When a glass plate laminate is constructed using glass plates of such large size, the support will shake significantly during transportation, but the configuration of the fixing member already described can appropriately prevent such shaking. [Effects of the Invention]

[0034] According to the present invention, the configuration of the support body of the glass plate packaging body is simplified, and the support body can be stably fixed to the transport storage body with sufficient strength, making it possible to appropriately deal with shaking or tipping of the support body that occurs during transport.

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a transport package according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] First, a glass plate package 1, which is a component of a transport package according to this embodiment, will be described with reference to Fig. 1. As shown in the figure, the glass plate package 1 includes a glass plate laminate 2 formed by laminating a plurality of glass plates G with protective sheets S interposed between each glass plate, and a support body 3 serving as a packaging pallet on which the glass plate laminate 2 is loaded in an inclined position. Furthermore, the glass plate package 1 includes a holder 4 for restraining and holding the glass plate laminate 2 to the support body 3.

[0038] Regarding the size of the glass plates G in the glass plate laminate 2, the length of the upper side Ga (same for the lower side) is preferably 2000 mm or more, more preferably 2500 mm or more, and even more preferably 3000 mm or more. Furthermore, the length of the side Gb (same for the other side) perpendicular to the upper side Ga is preferably 2000 mm or more, more preferably 2500 mm or more, and even more preferably 3000 mm or more. In this embodiment, a foamed resin sheet is used as the protective sheet S, but a non-foamable resin sheet or slip sheet may also be used. Although not shown in the figure, the upper end and both side end portions of the foamed resin sheet S protrude beyond the upper side Ga and side side Gb (both sides) of the glass plate G.

[0039] The support 3 has a base portion 5 arranged on the bottom side of the glass plate laminate 2, a rear support portion 6 that supports the glass plate laminate 2 from the rear side, and a pedestal portion 7 that supports the glass plate laminate 2 from the underside.

[0040] The base 5 is disposed at the lowest position of the support 3 and has a rectangular shape in a plan view. A front portion (surface portion) 5a of the base 5 is formed with a plurality of holes 8 for inserting forks of a forklift or the like, and a similar plurality of holes 9 is also formed in a side portion 5b on one side (left side) of the base 5. The holes 8 in the surface portion 5a are formed at a lower position than the holes 9 in the side portion 5b. Note that a back portion 5c (described later) of the base 5 is formed with holes 8 similar to those in the surface portion 5a, and a side portion 5d (described later) on the other side (right side) of the base 5 is formed with holes 9 similar to those in the left side portion 5b. The base 5 is formed by integrally connecting (for example, by bolting or welding) a plurality of framework members (described later) made of metal such as steel or aluminum alloy.

[0041] The back support part 6 is fixed in an upright state to the upper part of the base part 5. The back support part 6 is also formed by integrally connecting a plurality of metal framework members 10 (shown simply in the figure).

[0042] The pedestal portion 7 is fixed to the front side of the back support portion 6 at the top of the base portion 5. The pedestal portion 7 is also formed by integrally connecting a plurality of metal framework members (not shown).

[0043] The support body 3 is a rigid body in which the framework members of the base part 5, the back support part 6, and the pedestal part 7 are integrally connected. Therefore, all of the framework members of the base part 5, the back support part 6, and the pedestal part 7 are constituent members that make up the support body 3, and are also part of the rigid body.

[0044] The holder 4 includes buffer plates 12 and 13 that protect the back and bottom surfaces of the glass plate laminate 2, respectively, a pressure plate 14 that protects the surface of the glass plate laminate 2, and multiple (two in the illustrated example) binding belts 15 that fasten the glass plate laminate 2 to the support 3.

[0045] 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view illustrating the basic configuration of the transport package 16 according to this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the transport package 16 is configured by storing the glass plate package 1 in a transport container 17 as a transport storage body.

[0046] The transport container 17 has a bottom wall 18, two side walls 19, 20, a ceiling wall 21, an entrance 22, and an end wall 23, and the walls 18, 19, 20, 21, and 23 are connected so that the entrance 22 and the end wall 23 form a rectangle. In the transport container 17, the distance L1 from the entrance 22 to the end wall 23 is longer than the distance L2 between the two side walls 19, 20. In the glass plate package 1, the bottom surface of the base portion 5 of the support 3 is in contact with the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18 of the transport container 17. Note that an open-top container without a ceiling wall 21 may be used as the transport container 17.

[0047] In the following description, referring to the same figure, the direction extending from the loading section 22 of the transport container 17 toward the rear (toward the end wall 23) (direction A-A) is defined as the horizontal direction, and the direction in which the two side walls 19, 20 face each other (direction B-B), in other words, the direction from one of the side walls 19, 20 to the other, is defined as the width direction. The side of the transport container 17 extending from the loading section 22 toward the rear is defined as the front side, and the opposite side is defined as the rear side. The glass sheet package 1 is stored so that the upper edge Ga (and lower edge) of the glass sheet G extends along the horizontal direction. In this case, the direction in which the transport package 16 is transported (direction of arrow a) is the direction from the loading section 22 toward the rear of the transport container 17. The loading section 22 can be opened and closed by a door (not shown).

[0048] The glass plate package 1 is housed in a transport container 17 in the state shown in the figure, and then fixed to the transport container 17 by fixing members. In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing members are provided, which will be described below.

[0049] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an upper regulating member 24 serving as a first fixing member. As shown in the figure, the upper regulating member 24 includes two main frame members 25 elongated in the width direction and two connecting frame members 26 elongated in the horizontal direction. The main frame members 25 are formed of rod-shaped members made of square bars. The connecting frame members 26 are formed by attaching flat plate-shaped members 26b, which protrude from both lateral ends of a rod-shaped member 26a made of square bars, to the upper surface of the rod-shaped member 26a. Fastening members 28 are fixed to the undersides of both lateral ends of the main frame member 25 via spacers 27. The fastening members 28 protrude from the main frame member 25 and the spacers 27 laterally outward (away from the opposing main frame member 25), and fasteners such as nails or screws are driven into the protruding portions 28a. In this embodiment, the main frame members 25, connecting frame members 26, spacers 27, and fastening portions 28 are all made of wood, but may also be made of metal, hard resin, or the like. The rod-shaped bodies 26a of the main frame members 25 and connecting frame members 26 and the spacers 27 may be hollow or solid, and their cross-sectional shapes are not limited to the rectangular shapes shown in the drawings. The fastening portions 28 are flat, plate-like bodies, but may be hollow or solid, and their planar shapes are not limited to the rectangular shapes shown in the drawings.

[0050] FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the upper regulating member 24 in an assembled state. As shown in the figure, the upper regulating member 24 has two main frame members 25 whose widthwise ends are connected by two connecting frame members 26. More specifically, rod-shaped bodies 26a of the two connecting frame members 26 are respectively fitted between the end ends of the two main frame members 25. Furthermore, plate-shaped bodies 26b of the two connecting frame members 26 are respectively attached to the upper surfaces of the end ends of the two main frame members 25. The two main frame members 25 and the two connecting frame members 26 form a rectangular frame body 29, which serves as a regulating portion of the upper regulating member 24. Furthermore, the fastening portions 28 of the upper regulating member 24 are arranged at the four corners of the regulating portion (frame body) 29.

[0051] 5 illustrates a state in which the support body 3 is fixed to the transport container 17 by the upper regulating member 24 configured as described above. This figure illustrates a portion of the front surface 5a and a portion of the back surface 5c of the base portion 5 of the support body 3. This will be explained first. The front surface 5a of the base portion 5 is provided with two holes 8 for inserting the forks, as described above, and the back surface 5c is also provided with two similar holes 8. The front surface 5a of the base portion 5 is defined by a lower framework member 10a and an upper framework member 10b, each extending laterally, and three framework members 10c, 10d, and 10e, each extending vertically at three locations in the horizontal direction, to define the two holes 8. In the back surface portion 5c, two holes 8 are defined by a lower frame member 10f and an upper frame member 10g that extend laterally, and three frame members 10h, 10i, and 10j that extend vertically at three locations in the horizontal direction. In both the front surface portion 5a and the back surface portion 5c, the two holes 8 are located on both sides of the horizontal center position of the base portion 5. In both the front surface portion 5a and the back surface portion 5c, the lower surfaces of the lower frame members 10a and 10f are in contact with the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18 of the shipping container 17.

[0052] Next, a description will be given of an aspect in which the upper regulating member 24 fixes the base portion 5, and therefore the support body 3, to the transport container 17. The regulating portion 29 of the upper regulating member 24 penetrates the base portion 5 in the width direction and protrudes from the front portion 5a and the back portion 5c. Specifically, each of the two main frame members 25 of the regulating portion 29 is inserted from the two hole portions 8 in the front portion 5a to the two hole portions 8 in the back portion 5c. In this case, the front-side ends of the two main frame members 25 and the front-side connecting frame member 26 both protrude from the two hole portions 8 in the front portion 5a, and the front-side fastening portions 28 are disposed on the protruding portions. Furthermore, the back-side ends of the two main frame members 25 and the back-side connecting frame member 26 both protrude from the two hole portions 8 in the back portion 5c, and the back-side fastening portions 28 are disposed on the protruding portions. These four fastening portions 28 are fastened to the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18 of the transport container 17 by fasteners 30 such as nails. Therefore, the upper regulating member 24 (regulating portions 29) is directly fastened to the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18. As a result, the regulating portions 29 (two main frame members 25) regulate the movement of the lower framework members 10a, 10f, and can prevent the support body 3 from shaking or tipping over.

[0053] In this case, the two main frame members 25 of the restricting portion 29 preferably abut against the upper surfaces of the lower frame members 10a, 10f, and more preferably apply a downward pressing force to the lower frame members 10a, 10f. This further suppresses shaking and tipping of the support body 3. The main role of the spacers 27 is to align or approximately align the height positions of the upper surfaces of the lower frame members 10a, 10f with the height position of the lower surfaces of the main frame members 25. However, the vertical length of the spacers 27 may be increased to provide a small gap (e.g., 5 to 10 mm) between the two main frame members 25 and the lower frame members 10a, 10f.

[0054] Furthermore, of the two main frame members 25, the front main frame member 25 preferably restricts the rearward movement of the front frame members 10c and 10h, and the rear main frame member 25 preferably restricts the forward movement of the rear frame members 10e and 10j.

[0055] To position the upper regulating member 24 as shown in FIG. 5 , for example, first, two main frame members 25, to which the spacers 27 and the fastening portions 28 are fixed, are inserted through the two holes 8 in the front surface region 5a and the two holes 8 in the back surface region 5c. Then, two connecting frame members 26 are assembled and fixed to the two main frame members 25. These operations may be performed either before or after the glass plate package 1 is loaded into the transport container 17. Then, after the glass plate package 1 is loaded into the transport container 17 and positioned using a forklift or the like (not shown), the fastening portions 28 are fastened to the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18. Forks of the forklift or the like are inserted through the holes 9 in the side surface region 5b, but because the holes 8 are located lower than the holes 9, the forks do not interfere with the upper regulating member 24.

[0056] FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating a front-side restricting member 31 serving as a second fixing member. As shown in the figure, the front-side restricting member 31 includes a front-side frame member 32 and a rear-side frame member 33, each extending in the width direction, and a plurality of (four in the illustrated example) reinforcing frame members 34 extending laterally. Fastening portions 35 are fixed to the undersides of both widthwise ends of the front-side frame member 32 and the rear-side frame member 33. The front-side fastening portion 35 protrudes rearward from the front-side frame member 32 (toward the rear-side frame member 33). The rear-side fastening portion 35 protrudes rearward from the rear-side frame member 33 (away from the front-side frame member 32). The reinforcing frame members 34 are fitted between the front-side frame member 32 and the rear-side frame member 33, forming the front-side restricting member 31, which is composed of a rectangular frame body and fastening portions 35 arranged at the four corners of the frame body. The shape and material of the front frame member 32 and the rear frame member 33 may be the same as or different from those of the main frame member 25 described above. The structure, shape and material of the reinforcing frame member 34 may be the same as or different from those of the connecting frame member 26 described above. Furthermore, the shape and material of the fastening portion 35 may be the same as or different from those of the fastening portion 28 described above.

[0057] FIG. 7 illustrates a state in which the support body 3 is fixed to the transport container 17 by the front restricting member 31 configured as described above. This figure shows a portion of the side surface portion 5d (the right side surface portion in FIG. 1) of the base unit 5. This will be explained first. In the right side surface portion 5d, a lower frame member 10k and an upper frame member 10l, each extending in the width direction, are integrally connected to two frame members 10m and 10n, each extending in the vertical direction. The lower surface of the lower frame member 10k is in contact with the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18. The two frame members 10m and 10n, each extending in the vertical direction, are located at the corner between the right side surface portion 5d and the front surface portion 5a, and at the corner between the right side surface portion 5d and the back surface portion 5c, respectively. These two frame members 10m, 10n are integrally connected to lower frame members 10a, 10f and upper frame members 10b, 10g for forming the hole 8 described above.

[0058] Next, a description will be given of how the front regulating member 31 fixes the base portion 5 and thus the support body 3 to the transport container 17. The front frame member 32 of the front regulating member 31 abuts against the end wall 23 of the transport container 17. This prevents the front regulating member 31 from moving forward. Furthermore, the rear frame member 33 of the front regulating member 31 abuts against the right side surface portion 5d (more specifically, the lower framework member 10k). This prevents the lower framework member 10k and thus the support body 3 from moving forward. The fastening portions 35 of the front regulating member 31 are fastened to the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18 of the transport container 17 by fasteners 36 such as nails. In this state, both widthwise end faces 5x of the right side surface portion 5d (its lower end) are sandwiched between the two fastening portions 35. As a result, the movement of the right side surface portion 5d of the base portion 5, and therefore the right portion of the support body 3, in the width direction is restricted.

[0059] 8 is a perspective view illustrating a rear regulating member 37 serving as a third fixing member. As shown in the figure, the rear regulating member 37 includes a single frame member 38 extending in the width direction. Fastening portions 39 are fixed to the underside of both widthwise ends of the single frame member 38. These fastening portions 39 protrude from the single frame member 38 toward the front side (the side closer to the end wall 23). The shape and material of the single frame member 38 may be the same as or different from those of the main frame member 25 described above. Furthermore, the shape and material of the fastening portions 39 may be the same as or different from those of the fastening portions 28 described above.

[0060] FIG. 9 illustrates a state in which the support body 3 is fixed to the transport container 17 by the rear regulating member 37 configured as described above. This figure shows a portion of the side surface portion (left side surface portion) 5b of the base 5. This will be explained first. In the left side surface portion 5b of the base 5, similar to the right side surface portion 5d described above, a lower frame member 10o and an upper frame member 10p, each extending in the width direction, are integrally connected to two frame members 10q and 10r extending in the vertical direction. The lower surface of the lower frame member 10o is in contact with the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18. The two frame members 10q and 10r extending in the vertical direction are respectively located at the corner between the left side surface portion 5b and the front surface portion 5a, and at the corner between the left side surface portion 5b and the back surface portion 5c. These two frame members 10q, 10r are integrally connected to lower frame members 10a, 10f and upper frame members 10b, 10g for forming the hole 8 described above.

[0061] Next, we will explain how the rear regulating member 37 fixes the base 5 and thus the support 3 to the transport container 17. The single frame member 38 of the rear regulating member 37 abuts against the lower end portions of the lower framework member 10o and the two vertically extending framework members 10q and 10r in the left side surface region 5b of the base 5. This restricts rearward movement of the lower framework member 10o and the two framework members 10q and 10r, and thus the support 3. The fastening portions 39 of the rear regulating member 37 are fastened to the floor 18a of the bottom wall 18 of the transport container 17 with fasteners 40 such as nails. In this state, both widthwise end faces 5y of the left side surface region 5b (its lower end) are sandwiched between the two fastening portions 39. This restricts widthwise movement of the left side surface region 5b of the base 5 and thus the left side portion of the support 3.

[0062] FIG. 10 is a perspective view illustrating a pressing member 41 serving as a fourth fixing member. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a lashing belt is used as the pressing member 41. Note that the pressing member 41 may be any other binding member as long as it is a member that can apply a forward pressing force to the support body 3. The figure also shows a portion of the front surface portion 5a of the base portion 5, a portion of the back surface portion 5c, and the upper regulating member 24. These illustrated components are the same as the components shown in FIG. 5 described above. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 10 for components common to both, and their description will be omitted.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 10 , multiple lashing belts 41 (two in the illustrated example) are stretched from the framework members 10c and 10e of the front surface portion 5a of the base 5 to the framework members 10h and 10j of the back surface portion 5c. Both ends of these lashing belts 41 extend forward (diagonally, approaching the side walls 19 and 20 as they move forward). Hooks 42 are attached to both ends of these lashing belts 41. As shown in FIG. 11 , for example, these hooks 42 are fastened to ring-shaped members 43, which serve as fastening members, installed at both widthwise ends (or corners) of the bottom wall 18 of the shipping container 17. Under this condition, tensile stress is applied to these lashing belts 41. Therefore, the base 5 and, ultimately, the support body 3 are pressed forward by the lashing belts 41.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the rear regulating member 37 has the fastening portion 39 fixed to the single frame material 38, but it may have a frame structure similar to that of the upper regulating member 24 or the front regulating member 31.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the transport container 17 is used as the transport storage body, but it may also be the loading platform of a truck or the like.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the glass plate package 1 is stored so that the upper edge Ga (and lower edge) of the glass plate G in the glass plate laminate 2 extends in a direction from the loading section 22 of the transport container 17 toward the back, but the glass plate package 1 may also be stored so that the upper edge Ga (and lower edge) of the glass plate G extends in the width direction.

[0071] In the above embodiment, one glass plate package 1 is stored in the transport container 17, but multiple glass plate packages 1 may be stored. In this case, it is preferable to store multiple glass plate packages 1 in the direction from the carry-in section 22 toward the back of the transport container 17. The glass plate package 1 arranged at the frontmost position has the side surface portion (front side surface portion) 5d of the base portion 5 regulated by the front regulating member 31, while the side surfaces (front side surface portions) 5d of the base portions 5 of the other glass plate packages 1 are regulated by the rear regulating member 37 that regulates the side surface portion (rear side surface portion) 5d of the base portion 5 of the glass plate package located at the front.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the structure, shape, and material of the reinforcing frame material 34 of the front regulating member 31 are the same as those of the connecting frame material 26 described above, but are not limited to this. They may be changed as appropriate depending on the lateral dimensions of the transport container 17, the lateral dimensions of the support body 3, and the number of glass plate packages 1 loaded in the transport container 17. In this case, it is preferable that the glass plate package 1 is placed in the lateral center of the transport container 17.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the glass plate package 1 is configured by loading the glass plate laminate 2 in an inclined position on the support 3, but it may also be configured by loading the glass plate laminate in a flat position on a support for a flat position.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the frame body 29 is disposed in an intermediate position including the central position in the lateral direction, but it may be disposed forward of the central position or rearward of the central position. [Explanation of symbols]
